I always have mixed feelings on if art influences society ... or it is just a representation of it.

Particularly when it comes to getting eyeballs on TV, or a movie. People making that content are thinking about what people will want to watch.

Does someone "glorified 'The Thin Blue Line'" (just picking a random bit from this article) because they saw it on TV... or is TV responding to what that person already thinks / wants to watch?

It's super easy to think about other people who we don't share the same views with as: "Oh those people are just misinformed because X influence." But I'm not sure that's always the case.

I don't think these are compatible. The majority of man-hours are spent creating graphics, not programming features.
Completely different context than using a synth in a digital realm. I'm not saying you can't spatialize synths, but that the waveforms are unlike sounds we encounter in the natural world so it takes adding a bit of "naturalness" to them to help our ears understand where they are in the space around us. That's something that's harder to do in a digital environment like a spatial audio engine, but is easy enough to work around. Just an ancedote on spatialized audio in software, which again is different than what you're talking about.

Lie. Brave doesn't track you. Your ad data never leave your machine (a bit like your bookmarks). The ad engine works privately on your computer and not on Brave server.
I'm pretty sure C++ advances much faster now than Rust will in 30 years.

Then again, you'll just point to how awesome it is that Rust doesn't change and stays stable and easy to use for years.

This. Then the tech news and commentators on HN, etc., get agitated and complain about IP rights as if the actual lines are drawn where the scared platform owners think they are.
The year is 2050. The final frontier in computer vision remains unsolved: is this VHS rip 4:3 or wide?
C++ is the poster child of cruft and slow moving development, so it doesn't seem that these properties are correlated.
BIDU is baidu's stock tick

For any spectacularly failed startup, there have been ardent supporters who uttered words no less enthusiasm than yours.

When I say their future are uncertain, I mean that it's more uncertain than one might expect, based on DouYin's success in China. One evidence I raised, is that competitors here are much stronger.

Plus, you might not believe it, CCP is more friendly to big tech than US government...
AeroVect Hiring Vehicle Integration (Mechatronics) Engineer
Hi HN! At AeroVect we make autonomous driving systems for aviation and logistics, working with major US and global airlines to deliver autonomous cargo and baggage handling.

After recently closing our Seed we're looking to hire a mechatronics engineer here in San Francisco to spend dedicated time leading hardware integration (ME / EE) with existing and new vehicle platforms.

We're a super tight knit team of just 5 people at the moment — great to get in on the ground floor! More details here: https://smrtr.io/4zbFC

Feel free to reach out to me at raymond@aerovect.com or pass this along to friends. Thanks a bunch :)
I don't think a chicken/egg farm avoids the chicken/egg problem. The problem is achieving market liquidity. The primary rationale for uploading Chinese content is the expectation that there will be English content. There is almost certainly asymmetry between those wishing to learn English versus Chinese.

To me, the way to get content is to pay for it. If there is not money for that, the business is under-capitalized (most are). If it doesn't make economic sense to pay for content, then the business itself probably isn't economically viable...it simply cannot achieve the imagined state where there is a market on which to charge rents.

Someone coined the phrase "copaganda" for this kind of thing. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dirty Harry genre themes of police struggling bravely against those who would hold them accountable has contributed to the unusually high number of deaths caused by US police, and thus the riots of last year.
That’s animal abuse.
My acoustically-minded friend had the following to say:

> Off the top of my head, I'm guessing the problem has mostly to do with background noise, and it only working in moderately quiet environments.

> As for locating the source of a sound, there's plenty of research that's been done about that. A directional mic doing sweeps is probably not your best bet, as it would be slow and difficult to cover three dimensions. I would think using an array of microphones and using volume and time delay to identify location would be much easier. Setting them up in a triangular pyramid would, I think, allow you to triangulate a sound's position in three dimensions. The problem with this two-fold: it's still not super precise, and the mosquito's whine is a steady sound, not an impulse where it's easy to identify time-delay between locations. You'd probably need to have an incredibly high sample rate to identify strong enough variations in the sound of a mosquito to effectively use time-delay, or place them far enough apart to rely on relative volume. Maybe a set of microphones you can set up around a room, rather than a single location would work better.

> I think this could be solvable by having the laser aim towards the sound and do a rapid sweep of the area, rather than a precision strike. You could also potentially have the device hit targets that will confirm they are being hit when you are setting it up so it can calibrate to the environment that it's in under regular conditions.

> Another thing to consider is that you would also probably need temperature and humidity detection, as both of those can affect how sound travels, even over short distances.

I then did more research on the killing part of this—the laser. The product I linked above uses two lasers—a low-power one to pinpoint the target and to "listen" for its exact frequency to rule out benign insects and a high-power one to give it instant heatstroke or burn off its wings. But with computer-aimed lasers (even non-burning visible green lasers), accidental blindness is a real concern especially indoors where the beam can unexpectedly reflect off glass or other shiny things. So maybe a narrow, powerful non-coherent flashlight could act as a spotlight and that'd be good enough for a human to still kill it.

1) Nowhere does he say he ever attempted to address this in private. You could argue that "Matthias should have apologized unprompted", and I agree, but I think it's clear that this was behavior that had to be confronted. My comment about speculating is about prior attempts to resolve this privately, and as far as we can tell, that never happened (we also don't know it didn't happen, because Matthew never comments on this).

2) I'm reacting here because Matthew's message regarding the private communication is also starkly self-contradictory.

He starts by saying:

> I believe in the norm that private commu­ni­ca­tions should remain so, unless everyone agrees. So I’m going to para­phrase his message. If Felleisen feels mischar­ac­ter­ized, I give him permis­sion to publish it.

He seems to believe that by not publishing the exact words, he's somehow free of his own belief that "unless everyone agrees, private communication should remain so". What he's actually doing is proceeding to publish the private communication anyway by using a technical workaround, despite not having the agreement he called out moments before.

Again, I want to be extremely clear: I'm not defending Matthias here, at all. But Matthew is not being true to his own statements, and while this shouldn't invalidate his message, it certainly doesn't look great as a tactic, either.

This was our original theory when we started doing user research, and we were surprised at the degree to which it didn't pan out. We assumed (in line with how these things usually go) that engineer interest in filters would follow some sort of very lopsided power law, where a few filters dominated among almost all engineers. But in practice, everyone wanted something different: some people were excited by salary, some by tech stack, some by pair programming, etc. One guy went on for like fifteen minutes about how much he hated open office plans.

That said, the idea of "we will offer X to anyone with Y quiz scores" as a showing a company can make is pretty cool, and is definitely in a "company makes public conditional guarantees" space that we're interested in exploring.
Well, there's still Vancouver ;)
Yes .NET 5 is supported on all platforms. It is the future of .NET Core. They dropped core because they wanted to make it clear it is the one true dotnet going forward. It actually will greatly simplify things going forward. .NET standard will no longer be necessary because there is only .NET 5 onward.

You don't "need" Newtonsoft.JSON. .NET now has a built in serializer which is much faster. But for compatability and some more advanced scenarios some people still need/prefer it.

Lastly .NET core apps (and .NET 5/6 going forward) have an option to produce a single file deployment. This includes the framework so you do not have to have it pre-installed on the target.

It's a shame how Brave Inc. has fumbled the execution of this concept. It's a great idea in principle: users earn currency for their attention (watching ads) or by outright purchasing it and avoiding ads, they get to choose which services they want to support and with how much, publishers get paid without slimy advertisers and GDPR headaches, while still keeping advertising in the loop but in a much more indirect and controllable way. It's brilliant. It would eventually allow getting rid of advertisers from the loop entirely with novel ways of earning currency.

Of course this is a pipe dream with the modern ad-powered web. Why would tech giants have a desire to make changes that would affect their main revenue stream? Advertisers wouldn't be thrilled either.

Still, I think it's the best idea that actually has some merit of working at scale to change how the web is monetized today. And we need more of those. Just maybe not executed by Brave Inc.

When it comes to reactor accidents, there is a limit to what can be covered up. And nuclear accidents from other branches of the military are publicly known; particularly, the US Army blew up a test reactor (SL-1), the USAF has lost some nuclear bombs. Either the USN is uniquely effective at covering up their fuckups, or they really do have an exemplary safety record. My money is on the later.
> I always have mixed feelings on if art influences society ... or it is just a representation of it.

It's a little bit of both. There is a model of society called the "base and superstructure" [0]. The base comprises of the means of production as well as everyone's relationship to the means of production. Superstructures, like art and culture, are built on top of the base and are both shaped by the base as well as re-enforce the base.

> Where I'm at right now, we have multiple microservices reading from the same database

Like, all from the same base tables or each with their own schema with service-specific views? Also, isn't shared-DB integration by-definition incompatible with “microservices”, which are isolated and sovereign over their own data?
I was giving an anecdote, yo. Calm down. Synths in the digital environment of a spatial audio engine, which I've done work in both programmatically and as a musician/sound engineer, has problems with spatializing the unnatural waveforms that synths produce. Humans have trouble pinpointing where those sounds are coming from. It's easy to work around, and no one is saying "don't use synths in spatial audio", just that there are considerations to be made to make them work well in that environment. Just like you don't want to pre-apply reverb because that's going to be generated by the spatial engine.

Here's a link with a bit about sine waves, but I've found the same to be true (to a lesser extend) with saw, triangle, and square waves too.

I've never heard of it but I'll keep it on my radar. I love the idea of having a universal GUI using C#. I haven't done much android development, but I only know that it would be a tad less tedious if I didn't have to deal with android studio.

No; it's just that "dang" it's also a word in English, so the "@" is there to disambiguate.
Some of the volunteers are paid for their contributions, so it's not free labour. For other volunteers it's a hobby. Sometimes they scratch a personal itch.

Personally the line for me is when it comes to copyright assignment. I'm only okay with it if I'm also paid.

Unless what you're testing has a very clear interface boundary (like a pure function whose behavior is unlikely changed, or the program's end-to-end behavior), there's no clear distinguish between behavior and implementation.

Most of the time you have classes that interact with one another. If you test each class individually, and you decide to refactor what classes do what, you'll need to rewrite a lot of tests, even though the higher level behavior should not change.

Yes, he does. One of the weirder stories has him turn into a mare to separate a builder from his horse help (that builder was promised ridiculous rewards that the gods couldn’t possible give him, if he finished on time). Loki succeeds, however not without being impregnated by the stallion. Loki later gave birth to Sleipnir which became the horse of Óðin.
Brave's telemetry is private by design; you can read about it at https://brave.com/p3a. You're absolutely right about Firefox's telemetry though, which is often served up from a another process after Firefox is closed. This was covered in more detail on my post regarding network activity of popular browsers at https://brave.com/popular-browsers-first-run/.

You picked apart the author's narrative pretty nicely here. I provided 3 comments (quite long ones) as well with more detail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27552530.
I'd prefer it if I could contribute cash monthly, and let the browser distribute the funds based on my browsing.

The notion of getting paid to view a separate stream of ads seems bizarre. It's the 'Ad Buddy' model, but with crypto.

Don't get me wrong, if they're looking for antelope and see a rhino they'll be all over the rhino. But they're not gonna waste good opportunities to get the food they need in order to go looking for a rhino. Just like everything else in life it's a bajillion variable tradeoff with potential second and 3rd order effects. I think it suffices to say that the guy in charge of the hunting party isn't gonna risk his team getting hurt going after a rhino unless there's a damn good reason to make that gamble.

Interesting but I do disagree, at least for startups.

"This is exactly opposite of how it works in a typical company, where the goals come from above"

They have the same problems, people joining in sales, marketing, finance, product management and all bringing in their own ideas. Often this is not managed appropriatly and just put into a backlog instead of "saying no to ideas when they would not fit with other ideas, or [..] lots of discussion to align ideas to make them fit".

Why High-Performing DevOps Teams Thrive on Observability
So many auto manufacturers have already tried out yoke steering wheels and quickly pulled them after they found the same conclusions. It's cute to pull them out as a retro thing, but it doesn't really solve why they were retro in the first place - namely they were abandoned because users hated them.

While I admire Tesla's commitment to bucking constraints, I am reminded of that Choose Boring Technology presentation: http://boringtechnology.club/.
The part that's not mentioned, and a reason why some people wonder why their approach didn't get traction is missing. Before starting any of these steps you need your own analysis of what will make your change successful. You'll probably only be able to make the best analysis if you socialize your idea with relevant people in the community in private.

This seems really obvious, but it's a pattern that repeats with engineers engaging in what is only partially an engineering effort. Similar issues occur in the python-ideas list other places. When you follow this approach you can remove the risk of premature investment in the steps listed.
Intent and motivation are describing human thought process. We can apply this metaphorically to corporations to illustrate a point, but corporations can't literally have motivations. Systems theory (and thus the above heuristic) describes entities like Amazon.

I think the OP is just wrong here. I personally agree with Brave's statement that they are protecting users here. The assertion that "Anyone who knows a bit about how JavaScript works and it’s [sic] capacities to track you without the need of using cookies will be laughing after reading that." I know a thing or two about JavaScript and I'm not laughing, I'm genuinely confused about what the OP thinks the problem is because I don't see one.

This is wrong. CRT is basically repackaged class war, and Marxism.

I was born and lived under communism, and a lot of the means CRT is peddled, feels eerily similar to communist/socialist propaganda and perpetual class warfare. Because you have to have some kind of eternal enemy in order to prop up the ideology, even if it is a failed/bankrupt one to the core.
I’m a very happy customer of their monthly subscription for the past 2+ years. It all started when I had to park nightly under a tree full of birds…

$33/month for unlimited “platinum” exterior washes (the “best” available) – includes tire shine, wax, etc ($ equivalent to purchasing <2 “platinum” washes, there is no cheaper unlimited subscription).

Windshield RFID tag gets you through the gated entry.

Interestingly, the location I go to in Houston has felt like a good XaaS product: I have seen continuous physical improvements to the facility – multiple upgrades to the car wash tunnel equipment, and also a rebuild of the multi-lane check-in gates to improve car flow when there’s high traffic on the weekends.

They even replaced a sulfur-smelling cleaning solution with one that smells delicious! Even with car air recirculate on the stench was real bad…

There’s also a package for interior vacuum etc but it’s not useful to me.
Standard revisions are like snapshots in time. Editions are a way of introducing surface-level changes into the language, which are guaranteed to interoperate. Most features land in as many editions as possible simultaneously, the edition differences are purely the things that would be breaking changes, and so require you to opt into which ones you want.

Both strategies have advantages and disadvantages.
