The web in general may be fine with this.

That strong following might not last. My company made the decision to have PySpark be the default for training and future greenfield Spark projects, and they're only really making official what's been the reality for the past few years. A shame, as Scala seems like a nice language but I've never really gotten into it as Python is always the preferred option.

I don’t know much about how keyboards actually work but wouldn’t the suggestion offered in the article insulate you from this risk:

> But James says he loves the idea of everyone adding a language from the CIS country list so much he’s produced his own clickable two-line Windows batch script that adds a Russian language reference in the specific Windows registry keys that are checked by malware. The script effectively allows one’s Windows PC to look like it has a Russian keyboard installed without actually downloading the added script libraries from Microsoft.

Just want to say thanks to the author for not contorting this with a sexist slant and ignoring that everyone experiences these dynamics in professional circles.
No, it's not sad that Apple is using an open source codec, it's sad that Apple specifically created ALAC instead of just using FLAC that already exists. Instead of building hardware that can efficiently play FLAC, they created their own format in order to promote harder lock in to their walled garden. Fine, probably makes business-sense, but as someone who was brought up with the mindset of an open internet and web, it's sad to see Apple continue to fight against open standards.

Friendly reminder of the site guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Specifically, I never said I'm sad that Apple is using an open source codec. I specifically said I'm sad that they are using ALAC instead of the already existing open standards.
Hey HN! We built a service for launching mobile app surveys in 5 lines of code.

Over our careers, my cofounders and I have worked on several early-stage products and one thing that we observed is that user research and feedback are critical to guiding product decisions (I’m sure you all have observed this too). We also noticed that conventional user research methods pose several challenges (especially for startups).

For example, 1:1 interviews don’t give you confidence that you’ve heard a diverse set of opinions. Email surveys are often answered hours or days after a user experienced what you’re collecting feedback on. Custom surveys with complex targeting, logic, and storage built in-house have questionable ROI.

This is why we built µSurveys (MicroSurveys). 30 minutes of setup and 5 lines of code enables you to send fully customizable surveys to a large set of your users, while the actions they’re giving feedback on are still fresh in their memory.
The question here is what space vs tab use is actually an proxy, which is a question you generally need to ask when you get weird but valid statistical results.

If there for instance was an correlation between having lived though the bad old days with primitive build/formatting tool chains and a preference for spaces that would easily explain a difference in salary that have nothing to do with the argument for/against tabs/spaces as it relates to modern tooling.
> If it has booted once, it will always boot again, in the same order, reliably

Or not if one of them fails suddenly. That’s just a false sense of stability (not saying it could not be stable, but that is not due to having a sequential startup)

Services should have proper dependency chains and that’s not that hard of a problem to overcome. Without them every other part of service management will be incorrect.

I think the Key point would be, could you hear any difference in those test?

If you could, then yes there is a quality differential, rather you got it right or wrong may be subject to taste. But at least we established there are differences.

But when we say 128Kbps are sort of CD Quality or CD being no-difference to 320Kbps mp3, they generally refers to vast majority of consumers, not audio experts. I think most consumers could tell the difference between 256kbps AAC and 128Kbps MP3. But beyond that it sort of goes into consumer dont give a damn territory. Although most Pros would want the highest quality possible and there are no reason why we cant deliver lossless with today's infrastructure.

I am wondering if there is a market for an even cheaper Music Streaming Services that target lower quality, 128Kbps music.
I am here for similar reasons, and I don't spend much time anywhere else, again for reasons similar to yours. On average, I found HN to be good, and that I believe is due to the people who contribute here. And I am rather surprised to see that some people have such a bad impression of the overall quality of the contributors.

Maybe it's due to my approach to HN comments: if I find something interesting, I read, upvote and dive further into the thread; sometimes I comment. Otherwise, I move on.
You don't need to develop anything. This is a bog standard antenna exercise. At the level of power being used here, detecting it is trivial. The only issue for an omnidirectional antenna is perhaps portability. The powers that be most likely already know who is behind the attacks, or at least have a good guess. What they are willing to sell to the press is another question entirely.
Yep, what kind of issues you had? Works well for me.
Not sure what do you mean by efficiently -- but my tip is pressing alt-e to edit the command in external editor when it's multiline (although it's not limited to vi mode in fish)
This Apple Music “spatial audio” just means Dolby Atmos. It is not the same gyroscope-based spatial audio that they use on Apple TV.
I'm actually quite skeptical random people with high end gear can hear the difference between 320kbps and lossless. It has more to do with ear training, mp3 compression is not really on the same axis than what high end gear give you (basic equipment can have a large frequency response).
There's a toggle to turn it off in the volume control menu.
I’m pretty sure whoever came up with that was also using slashes for options. Someone was gonna bite :)
You mean something like "Twitch plays politics"?
Apple now optimize their hardware for playback of ALAC. If they went with FLAC, they would probably optimize their hardware for FLAC instead, meaning others could also take advantage of their optimizations.

But that's exactly why they went with their own format, so they can claim it's more battery efficient or something, compared to others who use open standards but the hardware is not optimized for it.
Windows IoT Core is a pretty good RTOS, competitive with VxWorks. The NT kernel is good engineering. It’s the Win32 userland baggage that causes all the problems.
TL;DR of a lot of the relevant sibling replies here: DR is a lot better on some (not all) masters of lossless releases.

I tbh think "sound(s) bigger and stronger" is actually a pretty decent layman's phrase for "has a higher dynamic range".
What Is DevOps and How Does It Impact QA Testing?
It's because Google and Facebook do much worse things, and Apple is shouting: "We don't do these (specific) terrible things!"

This is really an excellent marketing strategy. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that Facebook is trying to sell your data and Apple is a privacy-focused company.
Problem is, sometimes when you learn how to spot a deficiency, you can't unlearn it and stop spotting it. It's like with kerning[0] or image compression artifacts. Everyone has a different level, and I haven't measured mine, but even when casually listening to music - including music from bad speakers in a waiting room somewhere - I can identify too badly compressed music and get immediately annoyed by it.

In fact, experience proves that the masses understand perfectly the most complicated problems. [...] the masses are quick to seize every shade of meaning and to learn all the tricks of the trade. If recourse is had to technical language, this signifies that it has been decided to consider the masses as uninitiated.

> I and many others running good high end gear can repeatedly score well on these tests.

Every time this comes up someone says this. I've never seen anyone actually doing it. e.g. a video of setting up a double blind test of this and someone actually passing consistently.

When I've challenged people IRL who claim the same thing the response is always "Well, obviously I can't do it with any of the audio gear that either of us have access to... but if I did have high end gear I could tell for sure!"
> But is there really a downside to taking this simple, free, prophylactic approach?

Yes there is: if you're a user who already uses two or more languages, cycling through them with language bar hotkeys, this will add an annoying extra one you don't use.

Maybe just the language (e.g. Ukrainian) can be installed without defining a keyboard, and that will still thwart the ransomware. But already you have no verifiable test case that the trick actually works with the keyboard; that's already being done on faith, so you're adding a wild-assed guess to faith.
It's funny actually: my java code had mostly made peace with null. A combination of tireless performance of that if-dance where necessary, generous use of static methods for certain routine tasks on nullables and most importantly, @NonNull and null object singletons creeping into more and more code.

Now in kotlin it feels like it's just "drown it in question marks". I certainly end up with lots of nonnull signatures and far more reliable null handling than in java, but the ease almost feels wrong.

I agree, driver monitoring should absolutely be a core part of self driving systems. This is something that George Hotz (Comma.ai) is getting right, and Tesla is getting wrong.

The problem is that Elon/Tesla has the hubris to think that their self driving is soon going to be so good they don’t need to worry about driver monitoring, but that’s obviously wrong at this point.

Radeon VII was 7nm.

Re-releasing the Vega cards would be excellent for ROCm programmers. AMD needs to do something to get beginner programmers onto their system cheaply.

My two main PCs are a Phenom II-based desktop and a Thinkpad X220i (with the lowly Core i3, even!). Both are perfectly functional and usable today, with a few minor upgrades here and there, the usual SSDs, more RAM and a Radeon RX560 for the desktop.

The Thinkpad is obviously no powerhouse, but still works great for general desktop use, ie. browsing, email, document editing, music, video (1080p h264 is no problem). The desktop plays GTA V at around 40-50 FPS at 1080p with maximum settings. And this isn't some premium build, it's a pretty standard Asrock motherboard with Kingston ValueRAM and a Samsung SSD.

Decade-old hardware is still perfectly viable today.
Semi-worth pointing out that Google has done a couple spatial audio/ambisonics things over the years. The seemingly-abandoned VR initiative has/had spatial audio[1], provided by the open source Resonance Audio[2] library they open sourced, Omnitone for spatial audio on the web[3]. Omnitone dates back to 2016[4]!

Not nearly the follow through/uptake. As usual I part blame Google, but in large part, it's just hard to get adoption of good tech!! Both from consumers, but more so, the 3rd party software market.

In general, I'm more excited for computational audio's potential to combine let's say "ad hoc" arrangements of speakers, for it's ability to acoustically map out rooms & deliberately create sound fields, than I am these kind of top down, high control systems like Atmos or VR where a heavily constrained, normalized set of speakers is used to recreate one specific audio experience. It feels like we're at 3D VR concert again, where you get to stand in one spot & look around. Immersive, so long as you are ok taking the role of a frozen obelisk in the scene.

IME: you get quantitation error with very quiet sounds (or dark things in video) which gets amplified by the lossy encodings. It's not normally apparent but there are cases where it is.
MP3 compression is not the same thing has compression the audio effect. Compressed music in the effect sense can be enjoyable and is a matter of taste, but hearable MP3 compression artifacts is nearly always crap.

I definitely agree with you, it's just not worth struggling with something you don't like.

For me this was vim. After struggling for many years with this ancient and difficult text editor peddled as the holy grail of productivity one day i just said fuck it and switched to a more sane text editor called nano. My life became instantly better and I've never looked back.

I really wish I made the switch earlier instead of suffering through the never ending annoyance of vim because i at the time I thought i was still learning it and one day it will all be worth it.
It would be nice to see broader surround sound support in browsers. It’s odd how phones and a $150 Apple TV can play surround/Atmos effortlessly, yet so many compatibility issues exist in the browser/desktop devices.

Is the idea with Scala and Kotlin just that they encourage an immutable-first programming style, and that's why they create more garbage (as opposed to "nice features and syntax sugar")? Also, I thought idiomatic Java allocated all over the place as well (everything that isn't a primitive is an object which is allocated)? Maybe escape analysis is just fine-tuned for idiomatic Java (side question: is escape analysis a property of the JVM or the Java->JVM-bytecode compiler)?

EDIT: I'm getting downvotes, so to be quite clear my questions are genuine; I'm very curious about how JVM languages work, and my intent is not to disparage JVM or its languages! :)
>I'm in the UK, and I don't expect all 650 MPs to have a detailed understanding of 4 different pieces of legislation per day

I respectfully disagree. The MPs (Members of Parliament) receive substantial remuneration to represent their constituents ─ including business expenses related to equipment, premises, staff, maintaining a second home etc. The main remit of their job is to be knowledgeable and informed of the bills they are voting upon. Most of these bills go through a lengthy process of debates, stages, readings and 'ping-pong' between HoC and HoL, before gaining the Royal Assent. There are absolutely no excuses for having a 'brief pack' and then vote based on a toss of a coin. Your reasonable expectation breeds complacency and apathy, absolving public servants of responsibility. As a taxpayer and a citizen, it is especially important to demand more at this crucial juncture, where they are stripping away any laws, which can be used to hold themselves accountable, whilst introducing Draconian measures.
