Main thing I miss from Spotify is the discover weekly playlist.

I started using Apple Music because Spotify’s attempts to ruin podcasts by making them exclusive to their platform irritated me.

Discover weekly is a really great thing though and Apple Music’s stuff isn’t as good.

I'm by no means an expert but a number of years ago I saw a presentation by MIT's John Leonard (he was involved in one of the early DARPA contests). One of the interesting things he showed was dash cam footage he had taken over the course of about a week commuting from Brookline where he lived to MIT. And he pointed out all the things that would be really difficult to do.

As a non-expert but a very longtime driver this made an awful lot of sense to me. But so much money and brains were saying success was right around the corner that I was half-convinced that I and other skeptics were missing something.

I think, in addition to the scammers and dumb money, it's just that a lot of people who should have known better just looked at the pace of advance over the previous 5+ years and figured "How could we not iron out the remaining kinks in a few more?" Add to that the number of people who don't like cars much and just so desperately wanted this future where they never needed to own a car or drive again.
If fans are keeping you from working it might be time for water cooling or ear plugs.
While I can understand the frustration, it’s worth noting that they’re not increasing the price of subscription and giving people additional options. To me, it’s more like trying to tell people with 4K screens to watch 8K content, but what do I know.
Why do you think it degrades the listening experience?

The mixes are already made for surround sound. It's not arbitrary, so not "no basis" like you say. It's taking a surround mix and anchoring the audio sources.
Could you expand on this? I'm not seeing why the "duh" is warranted.

> Jolie, you write code that maps directly to the concepts that matter. What are the important concepts? APIs, Access Points, and Services (duh..) are examples.

I come out of the Domain Driven Design school of thought, where the true key concepts are the domain-related ones. E.g., if you're doing ecommerce, things like Product and Order are much more important. They're also much more stable. Over time what gets exposed as an API will vary much more than whether or not we have a Product or an Order.

What you're calling important is what I think of as implementation details. Important in the sense that pipe fittings are important to a house: vital, but very much secondary to the purpose.
"Much" no, but I'm sure I've seen report of python-based ransomware.
It was the child of a guest at a BBQ that I was hosting. The parents were socializing with other adults while some of the children were playing. They didn't see that the kids had gone into the gym.
I can second both the availability and quality issues. Tried to get a Kotlin dev for Android via Toptal and settled for Java when they said they basically had 0 Kotlin experience on staff.

As for quality, the app worked and works well, but there were some serious WTF design decisions made that have made it impossible to maintain the app, not to mention total lack of testing.
I guess I wasn't thinking about the stereotype of idiomatic Java, but rather I'm assuming that--barring escape analysis--every `new` corresponds to an allocation and idiomatic Java (again, not the stereotype) has lots of `new`s. So I'm asking if escape analysis is eliding most of those allocations, or if I'm misunderstanding something and there is some other mechanism for reducing those allocs?
Not sure what's causing the difference but it launches in 4 seconds for me. I have the base model 16" MBP.

If that's not how they pitch to VCs, it should be.
I think the other problem mentioned in the article is that it has to work over SSH. TUI on a local machine has no problem hooking into input devices; display-side, the difference between GUI and TUI is just what API calls you use to render stuff. But if you want to drive things remotely, you're constrained by the remoting protocol - which, in TFAs case, is SSH without X forwarding.
iirc it's pretty much completely up to the compositor. The spec is worded to allow "focus" to enter a surface and deliver events to it, but it never specifies under what conditions the compositor should do so.

So the compositor chooses what surface to deliver events to based on its own desires (like letting pointer focus enter background apps) and the users input. I think there is a protocol (used by Xwayland?) to allow a client to get events from any window if the compositor/user allows it
You don't pay a fare to exit the New York City Transit system, so nothing will prevent you from leaving during a fire; control system failure or otherwise. There are also emergency exit doors (that many people open to exit more quickly in normal operation of the subway). One may argue that having to go through a turnstile at all is an evacuation disaster, but presumably the designers thought about this and the exit doors are adequate in an emergency.

This is different than systems like London and Tokyo, where you pay for the distance you traveled, and a station evacuation mandates opening the fare controls to let people exit more quickly. For better or for worse, that option has never existed in New York.
Could you clarify how you are working with Fivetran for (some?) of the integrations?

Are you partnered with them or would there be additional Fivetran fees if an integration went through them? I noticed when clicking on the Xero integration.
Livestreamers have it bad enough already when they allow viewers who donate to play audio or TTS over their speakers.

Here is one hilariously tragic example with a Seattle livestreamer who went by the name "Arab Andy" while in a UW classroom. Hint: it landed him in jail.

>The car did pull off to the side.

That's not what I saw.

The car attempted to follow it's planned route to use the right lane, and stopped in place when it saw the next traffic cone, partially blocking the left lane.

Then it backed up and fully blocked the left lane.

Better 75W GPUs are possible, but they would be quite expensive on a perf per dollar basis.

An RTX 3070 Laptop GPU on a PCIe card would be quite nice, but the market for that isn't big.
> There was no exchange of articles or courtroom-type setting where the authors of the lies had to directly defend or abandon those statements, and I guess the others in the department had some sort of cynical view that the details didn’t matter. Or, more precisely, they had a consensus that they didn’t want to think about the ugly thing that had happened, so they’d look away

The above resonated with me. One of the hard lessons I've had to learn in life, is that you will simply never be given a fair chance by some people. We would love to live in a world where we can face our accusations head-on, and after rebutting them, never have to face them again. 99% of life does not work this way though.

Key well-connected influencers may decide they don't like you for completely arbitrary reasons. And other people who know nothing about you, but trust the influencers, will take their side by default as well. No one is going to come out in the open and make concrete accusations against you. They will just silently embellish minor transgressions, or take things out of context to paint you in a negative light... and do most of this in private conversations where you don't even have a chance to respond to any of it. The end-results are very tangible and negative of course, but the means are completely under wraps and nearly impossible to fight against.

Ultimately, you can't fight against it any more than an ant can fight against its colony. If you find yourself in a system that has a vendetta against you, your best bet is to simply leave and find a different system that does value you. Or try your best to ignore them, respond only to the most vocal criticisms, continue focusing on your work, and let your success be your shield. Winning over the critics is a fool's errand - you're better off simply accepting that you will always have critics who dislike you. As the old saying goes, haters gonna hate

The cost of healthcare should be borne by society without a profit motive for the exact same reason we do it that way for firefighting services. Many nations other than the USA pay less overall and also receive better care and have better health outcomes, there is no good reason to preserve the current US system.
Honest answer: one that doesn't involve the need to capture individual keypresses. It just doesn't work on a Unix tty. Use a web app or other smart client (c.f. the IBM 3270, which had this problem largely solved in 1971 by putting the key navigation intelligence into the terminal).
Bruce continues to peddle his statist recipes.

> Most US critical infrastructure is run by private corporations. This has major security implications, because it’s putting a random power company in — say — Ohio — up against the Russian cybercommand, which isn’t a fair fight.

Why wouldn't it be? When it comes to survival of a random power company in Ohio, a random power company in Ohio has more skin in the game than the NSA.

The NSA and CIA and hacked every year. Where does Bruce's confidence come from?

Enough with security socialism - let everyone pay for their own cyber defense.

Anecdote - 20+ years ago my colleague told me how his wife worked in the pharma industry.

She was studying a potential product to 'cure' some disease or other. Apparently her initial tests on the company's product worked amazingly well, removing all trace of the disease with just a few doses.

She was excited to report this success to her boss, who replied "That's Horrible!". The company wasn't interested in a cure that requires only a few doses, but something that requires a longer-term rent-seeking subscription plan.

It's true that PySpark probably is overtaking (or already has overtaken) Spark with Scala. I still personally like Scala over Java in general for non-Spark projects as it's much less verbose which is my main problem with Java. However, I also haven't used all the new Java features to see how that would adjust the comparison for me.
Statistics by definition lose information, and part of understanding if you’ve lost the “right” information is to look at the individual cases that are excluded by the model. So yes, in those cases the anecdotes do trump the “science”, if by “science” you mean a lossy, probably-biased model of the real world.

What you can’t do with anecdotes is generalize them to the entire population, but taking an honest look at them is an excellent way to find methodological gaps.
The counter-argument to these sorts of notions (including things like legislative term limits) is that, in a sufficiently advanced political environment, this will make your representatives even more dependent on entrenched power-brokers to be effective—chiefly, bureaucrats and lobbyists.
The worst part is that I KNOW 100% that I opted-out of this at least 6 months ago, but to my surprise it was still enabled in the Alexa App when I double checked this AM. SMH. Do I need to take a screen shot and physically print it out and mail it to Amazon HQ? Sheesh.

I don't see how that video was silly. They observed something, the equipment and radar picked it and it affected water also.

The other pilot in the 60 Minutes video mentioned how they're seeing stuff like that almost every day. Whatever it is should be investigated, even if it's just a mere optical illusion.

What we should seek is understanding.
It would be interesting to see if there are also optimisations to keep the main (UI) thread clear as much as possible. I mean if I just clicked a button then probably that is the most interesting thing for me to happen, so responding to that click should not be blocked by other high priority tasks.

I often have the feeling on my i9 machine it's almost idle but the specific core of my UI is working on something else which I don't particularly care for at the moment I'm interactive with the computer.
I read most of the report when it was released, and their conclusion was based on nothing. Their section on whether the syndrome was psychological basically said "all available evidence fits the hypothesis that it's psychological, but there isn't enough to conclusively state it is."

They shouldn't be surprised that a bunch of people are coming forward with a myriad of symptoms after a report like that. Nothing in these two cases described have anything in common, just felt ill somewhere near the White House. I doubt that's uncommon.
You don't go through the TTY model, but read directly from devices (if the kernel allows it). But people will hate you for it, since it doesn't fit with the abstraction layers that are commonly used, one of which is that only characters matter, not keypresses. Consider how such a TUI that directly interacts with keyboard devices (because it wants to detect keyup events) would work over SSH. It cannot. Abstraction layers limit certain functionality, but they also allow workflows to exist that otherwise could not (or would be much more complicated). You have to judge in every instance whether the correct balance has been made, but I don't think this aspect of the Unix terminal design is awful.

But as you know, that's not actually what's happening. If South Korea wanted they could kick the U.S. out and let North Korea come take over their government and be reunited. The U.S. would be very concerned about that, of course, but the American military is not really preventing this from happening. U.S. forces are in Korea for beneficial reasons to the U.S. and the West, but also at the behest of South Korea. Realistically, many people (from Trumpers to left-wingers) want U.S. forces out, albeit usually for different reasons, whereas the Korean government would prefer they stay in comparison.

Now, with that being said is American military presence an issue for North Korea? Yea definitely. But if the U.S. withdrew troops it's not like Korea would all of a sudden be reunited. There's a laundry list of issues that would need to be resolved. American military presence is just North Korea's go-to excuse because they seek to divide the South Korean and American alliance.

If North Korea wanted to, they could just open the borders, stop starving their people, and all that jazz. Why do they need to do all of that crap? Because 25,000 Americans are in South Korea? Yea ok.

There are actually evil people in the world that don't live in America. Many of them live in North Korea, happily starving people, raping women, and executing people for no good reason.
>Therefore, when that agency makes a claim, we should be skeptical until there's evidence otherwise.

"I'm not saying the election was stolen, I'm saying we should investigate whether it was stolen" is a tired and repeated talking point. This has been investigated exhaustively and in every instance the system worked exactly as it was supposed to. Continuing to cast doubt without a shred of evidence quickly ventures into the grounds of morally questionable behavior.

You also have failed to provide any quote from Krebs to backup the original claim. If you want people to assume you're acting in good faith, this isn't the way to go about it.

For those who have never heard of Ambisonics, it's a surround-sound format based on taking the concept of differential stereo and extending it to three dimensions. Differential stereo is of course where instead of storing/transmitting each channel independently (as on audio cassettes or uncompressed digital audio formats like CDs) you store/transmit a sum of the two channels (L+R) and a difference (L-R) (as on vinyl records or analog FM broadcasts). Monophonic devices can just reproduce the sum channel and ignore the difference channel. Stereophonic devices can recover the two stereo channels through simple signal processing: (L+R) + (L-R) = 2L, (L+R) - (L-R) = 2R.

Ambisonics essentially asks the question of "what if we also stored a front-back and a top-bottom signal?" It turns out this is sufficient to fully represent 3D spatial audio. Additionally, unlike traditional "5.1/7.1"/etc. audio formats which assume a fixed speaker placement, digital signal processing can be used to adapt the audio to any number of speakers in any location in a space or use an HRTF to produce virtualized 3D audio for headphones.

Ambisonics had the misfortune of being invented in the 1970s before digital signal processing made the necessary audio signal processing for making practical use of it cheap and easy to implement, so inferior (but cheaper to implement) formats like Dolby Pro Logic ended up winning in both the consumer and professional spaces. From an open source perspective, though, this makes Ambisonics compelling because all of the important patents related to it should be well past their expiration by this point.

I think I'm the opposite. I'd take the 10x reduction in the probability of dying. I'd take it for myself (I think I'm a fairly good driver, but I know I'm not as safe as I should be). And I'd take it for the 90% of deaths it would save, even if they aren't me. Those other lives matter, too.

Unfortunately it's more complex than that. You can't rely on number of stakers for anything because of sybil attacks. You also can't rely on amount of stake because some of it could be double-staked (you can detect this but it still may not help you choose which fork is legit). The solutions to PoS fork choice don't really fit in an HN comment.
It always amazes me how casual people are about traveling at 70+ mph with opposing traffic traveling at similar speeds, sometimes less than 4 feet to your left with no protection other than a few inches of paint. There are some places that you could die just from losing focus for less than a second.

USA roads are seriously scary. It's no small wonder that drunk drivers kill so many people.

This is surprising. The company is still growing at a very fast rate, especially in their "whale" segment (customers with ARR over $50k). I'm curious about why they want to take the company public, as VC funding shouldn't be hard to come by with these numbers. The founders have not sold any stock so far in the two secondary sales ($50 million at Series D and $30 million at Series E). Intriguing.
Not all applications need to be a classic "windowed application".

I know this is a rare use case, but the DE and the app need to work togheter to allow global shortcuts. I for example have a keyboard with many useless media keys , that I configured to run some specific scripts and some I could very easy set them up as Global shortcuts for some KDE apps. Not sure if other DEs would offer to setup global shortcuts for you.

Probably something most users will use is screen recordings and screen readers , this applications need to have global shortcuts(and access to the screen and window elements)

This seems implausible. It’s extremely difficult to find cures in the first place, and in the event a company does, the US is willing to pay a ton for them (see recent Hep C medications).

I would need more proof before being able to believe an executive team would throw away a sellable cure for an extremely low probability of finding a longer term rent seeking subscription plan.
