I did package, for suse, yes. and I agree the declarative unit files are simpler to maintain.

the dependency comments were standardized, and the parser would give errors for incorrect comments.

and of course for the RC scripts, great powers came with great responsibility --- for the package maintainer.

I recently had to deal with the limited feature set of journald logrotation, compared to logrotate and syslogd. without going into the details, just compare the man pages, if you hit the limits of the available declarative feature set, you find yourself patching or doing fancy work arounds.

if the features that come with systems are sufficient, it's a happy switch. if some corner case is missing, good luck.

It’s amazing how much of a dumpster fire the butterfly keyboard was, but perhaps more bewilderingly how long they persisted with it. That keyboard might well have done more than any other product design decision in the last decade to push people away from the Mac platform.
There's a questionable assumption in the HRTF article, namely that the transfer function is the same (or similar) for different people in different environments. I don't think the same HRTF would sound convincing indoors and outdoors, even. Let alone differences in ear shapes and sizes.

Next js is awesome, and it is the best alternative in my opinion if you go the SPA route.

Now, things get really, really, really messy and complicated when you start to implement on top of it everything else a typical web application would need. Authentication, validation, i18n, acceptance testing, background tasks or queues, etc....

We started out with next and prisma 2 and wasted a lot of time, in the end we rewrote the whole thing before launch with ruby on rails and turbo, some minimal stimulus and it was awesome. So much easier and simpler, and the application felt a lot more solid and robust.

So, next is awesome if you're doing a landing or relying on an existing backend api, etc.

If you need a full CRUD app, don't waste your time with it.

It's 'legally' possible in that the court can say that you have to pay back some amount of crypto or some amount of USD, but with crypto it's not something that they can enforce in reality if the debtor doesn't cooperate. I'm saying the court can't force incoming transactions to be 60/40 split with 40% going to a different party, and the anonymity part of crypto means you can create a new wallet whenever you want to get paid without the court even knowing that you are receiving crypto as payment.

This is crux to the argument. If you know what to listen for, you can pick out the "bad bits", since you know that is where the issue lies. Once you know how to identify bad bits, then you'll be able to "hear" compression artefacts because you'll be primed for them.

In A/B tests this is true, I _can_ reliably (not 100%, but way better than random) tell you which of A/B is compressed, and I can normally do this on somewhat crappy headphones, since I _know_ where to listen to pick out the compression. And this despite being partly deaf.

However, if I am just listening to music I never notice these artefacts, since when listening to music, I'm not trying to determine which A/B stream is wrong. Most of the time, the music is just playing in the background anyway.

> They’re actually pretty great, lossless

CDs aren't lossless unless the material was recorded at or below 16 bit/44.1kHz.

You can argue whether the difference is perceptible - some blind studies suggest not - but this fact is what led to a variety of semi-obscure audiophile disc formats that offered higher sampling rates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Audio_CD).
I'm sure there'll be an option to stream at a different quality and an option to download the lossless versions, which you could do over wifi.

For both Spotify and Apple Music, I stream at "normal" quality, but download at "high" quality. I'm sure those options will extend to lossless.
I'd check the link again because it answers most if not all of your questions. It weighs (with gradated strictness) mask usage, restaurant closures, school re-openings, large gathering restrictions, health checks, travel, lockdowns, and more. You may have some quibbles with the methodology, and that's fine, but it really doesn't look like "garbage data".

Also, there is no medical consensus on this array of restrictions and I don't think he claims to overturn anything. There is a robust and healthy debate among scientists and medical professionals on the effectiveness of school closures, lockdowns, temperature checks, etc. The scientific certainty of mask efficacy in some circumstances simply can't be a stand-in for every pandemic restriction.

I understand this is a polarizing topic because it maps closely to political leanings, but we should all try to be more open-minded to good faith efforts to understand the data whether it confirms our biases or not.
The only way to amass that sort of wealth is to exploit the labor of others.

There are countless examples.

Amazon warehouse employees not being allotted time to go to the bathroom, while Jeff Bezos buys a $165 million mansion in LA, not to mention the endemic underpayment and disregard for physical and mental stress.

Richard Branson forcing his employees on 8 weeks of unpaid leave, while he's sitting comfortably on a fortune that means he doesn't have to care.

Steve Jobs building the wealthiest company in the world and becoming a billionaire, while their subcontractors install suicide preventing nets on their factories.

Simply the fact that some people are amassing such wealth, while millions of people in the world starve and cannot access even basic education or healthcare. That alone makes being a billionaire unethical, by default.

> "The media is biased to cover misdeeds by billionaires due to billionairephobia, the same way it is biased to cover misdeeds by Black people due to racism."

Excuse me, but did you just compare literally the most privileged human beings to ever exist in all of history, to people who have been historically downtrodden and subjugated for hundreds of years due to their ethnicity?

The mind boggles at what a temporarily embarrassed billionaire can delude themselves into thinking.
It doesn't matter, it's good marketing. It's not rational, but it lets Apple posture as being "high end". The utter majority of people won't be able to tell the difference but then again the utter majority of people won't even try to test it. I know that I personally can't even tell the difference between Spotify's "mid" and "high" quality settings the vast majority of the time even in perfect listening conditions with good earphones and focusing hard on the small details.

I've given up on arguing with audiophiles about this. In the end if they enjoy their overpriced setups to listen to 196kHz 32bits-per-sample uncompressed tracks who am I to tell them otherwise? It won't keep me from listening to compressed audio on my cheapo USB DAC with my mid-range earphones and enjoying it just as much.
Well, or if you could do it during commissioning, like have a local Ansible step that pre-flavours the executable for the target, then pushes it over.

To be clear, despite the headline, the existence of Lossless Audio (which I know under the FLAC codec, but Apple uses ALAC—I don't know how they're related) isn't new; it's just that Apple is now serving everything in its catalogue encoded that way. The actual title is:

> Apple Music announces Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos; will bring Lossless Audio to entire catalog
I'm not sure agreeing with my point backs up what you're saying.

I'm saying we turn our heads regularly, so the Spatial audio works well most of the time.
Amazon uses FLAC.
What conversations are you having that your schooling is coming up regularly enough to cause you to feel this way?

I am a high school dropout. No degree, I went to community college for 2 years and played cards in the cafeteria every day.

Now I am a senior engineer at a big tech company. I have founded startups, been the first engineer at venture backed startups, have scaled teams, products, etc.

I can’t remember the last time someone asked me about my education. Why would that matter, when the quality of my work and experience I bring to the table is clearly valuable and high quality?

On an entirely separate note, you may still be underpaid :) Has nothing to do with your education and more to do with negotiation skills when you join a new company.

> AMD's memory latency is already better than the M1's. Apple's soldered RAM isn't a performance choice:

Careful what you are comparing, in your examples the other CPU is also faster.

3950x is a desktop CPU and is faster then M1 -> https://gadgetversus.com/processor/apple-m1-vs-amd-ryzen-9-3...

5950x is even faster ->
https://gadgetversus.com/processor/apple-m1-vs-amd-ryzen-9-5...

Lower latencies are likely due to higher clock.

For equivalent laptop specific CPU, you will get a speedup from on-package RAM vs user replaceable RAM placed further away, even desktops would benefit but it would not be a welcome change there.
Collected renderings of satellite imagery as cubist art
Why does any of this matter? The point of a blind ABX test (and the whole question) is to see whether you can tell the difference between two formats. If you can, you can. Personally, I stop being able to tell somewhere around 200 kbit MP3s (with cheap equipment), anything above that is wasted space.

You can run the tests as much as you want, if the hypothesis is that "people can't tell the difference between lossless and 320 kbit MP3", even one person demonstrating that they can, disproves the entire hypothesis.
Oh it's definitely the case in North America too. Comedy is hard and you can't do it all without an audience, so the quality at open mics is always going to be mostly terrible. Same with any artistic endeavour really, but in most things beginners can just bumble along in private. Not so with comedy. If you're into learning it, I would really suggest a course with enough people that you get a semi-private open mic every week. It's a great way to test material on a semi-realistic audience. I've done a couple here where 2/3s of the class time was our private open mic, like a comedy version of toastmasters, and that alone was worth the money. (Hell, given you have to buy at least a drink at an open mic, it wasn't even expensive!)

You're entitled to your beliefs, OTOH I believe that the free market cannot work unfettered. Monopolistic behaviour of large corporations shows us this again and again and again, as do environmental and Labour abuses and a million and one things people will do to screw each other over for a fast buck.

I think your view is extremely naive.
Algolia has some rough edges. I've tried to work with them on a couple of occasions but it's a bit of a harder problem than meets the eye because apparently Algolia gets a feed directly from HN with the original comment contents as they were typed into the text box rather than the rendered HTML version of the comment, which ironically would probably be easier to deal with. I have a particular comment discussing HTML injection that I've worked with them twice to stop rendering as actual script tags, which means, yes, it actually regressed once.
I always try to to find some ELI5 but haven't found one yet. ELI5 won't be accurate but it's better than nothing.

....Long time ago, in the Game Kingdom, people play games by rules called game law deduced by a basic meta law called Game Constitution. Most of time players play by game law.

However not all judgment can be easily made following this principle. Some time 2 players would arguing like this:

Group A: What you are doing is wrong so it is violating game law.

Group B: Your blame is wrong. So your act of blaming violates game law.

It ended up with conflicts. Too groups were firing rockets and air raiding with each other.

To solve the contradictory, the Game Kingdom invited a group of alien higher order players to form a United Game Nation to make judgment about which claim is true or false.
However as the high order players joined the new expanded Game Kingdom, there are conflicts again as before with the exact same reason. Now a new higher order United Game Nation needs to set up. But it will create new conflicts again and on and on
....
Seems like not having them open would be disastrous in an emergency scenario.
Nice description from the page:

> I had an idea of the world as a cubist painting. Using a convolutional neural network, I combined compelling satellite imagery with the bold work of abstract expressionist painters. The results you see collected here show approximately what I'd hoped: that humans shape our planet in distinct, clear ways.
What a strange idea. There was a pandemic keeping everyone at home, a major shortage of GPUs and next gen consoles, a holiday season, stimulus checks, and a full playing field of new cloud and console products vying for the next gen. And Google decided to delay streaming support for 8+ months because nothing was urgent? This is the very apotheosis of urgent. Some other competitor is going to win the cloud market (My guess is Microsoft) and then Stadia's opportunity will be gone.
I don't want to stretch metaphors too far here but there's some truth in what you're saying. TypeScript usage is a tiny minority of JavaScript usage but it's climbing and I'm sure it's much higher than CoffeeScript ever was.

But I see TypeScript as a different beast altogether because of its aims. CoffeeScript and Kotlin were both created to make a complicated messy language more straightforward and powerful. TypeScript aims to make JavaScript safer by introducing types. If anything it slows development down, not makes it faster (and before someone jumps on me for saying that: yes, I think it's worth the price). IMO that makes comparisons difficult.

When it says "Support Vector" does that just mean the version that is being used to test or does that mean, e.g., this will not work on pre-2018/2020 BSD. Is there a GNU make dependancy and if so, could it be eliminated so other makes would work as well.

> The MTA response indicated that a gate agent is present to perform an override. Additionally, the exit is always free. Folks with mobility challenges are not endangered by this.

They're not endangered in that they're free to leave, but it's not true that a gate agent is always present, despite what the MTA claims, so it's possible people would have been unable to enter if they are unable or unwilling to jump the turnstile.

(In practice, there's almost always someone leaving the station/train, and they'd be able to open the emergency gate from the inside in a situation like this.)

If you're like me and have spent several years working with Java projects, moving to Kotlin will slow you down at first. You also may not know all the cool new features available in Kotlin from day 1, so you may find yourself doing "java" things in Kotlin, or not knowing how to do some things in Kotlin at all.

If you're on a tight deadline for something, you might want to just stick with Java (if you know it) until you can dedicate enough time to learn Kotlin well. If you're new to both Java or Kotlin, then learn both. :)
That's fair, though I will say Kotlin's type system having nullability built-in is something I doubt Java will ever fully add (instead of the annotations it currently uses). So in that respect, it's making it more type safe, but the delta between Kt and Java isn't near as big as TS and JS.

That assumption is baked into almost all the implementations, except for some which take measurements of your ears.

To be fair I haven't tried one of those systems, but few people ever have and few people ever will because:

1. It's a hassle to measure your ears

2. All the problems with distortion wrecking timbre will still be there.
If it's purely personal as well, I think it helps to focus on the content by treating it as a hobby. Write what you want, post it up, and just keep doing it for yourself.

Eventually you'll start to see that you prefer writing about some topics more than others, and that content might become increasingly specialised as you dive deeper into the topic. Not a bad point to consider spinning it off if you think there's more potential there, or if you believe you've found your niche.

I'm doing this with my own writing (after who knows how many reboots), and I've dabbled with tutorial style posts with heavy code examples, silly experiments, and higher level musings about agile, work in general, as well as my personal experiences with mental health. I've learned that I have the most interest in relating my personal experiences to how we work, whether that's exploring agile or some other methodology, getting into compassion and leadership, or whatever else comes to mind. And every now and then I'll spend most of an evening writing something new. That's my niche.
Ask HN: Tech Curriculum for Children?
So about a year or so I ago I came across something called "A Plan of Graded Reading"[0] that is essentially a curriculum of things for young people (7th grade up through college). I like its format in that it has a mix of large and small selections, grouped by topics (e.g. Imaginative literature, Math/Science, etc.). My oldest (12) and I have been working through it to the tune of ~20-30 pages per week. Like any list its got some gaps and some things that are not worthwhile and and so I adjust as I see fit, but its really helpful to have a jumping off point.

My question for this group is if anyone is aware of something similar for tech. My strategy so far is to expose him to stuff (scratch, science kits, rpi, etc.) more or less at random and see what sticks. Its been good but I'd love to see an opinionated list on the things that young people should learn in regards to tech so that I can make it my own.
