Well we’re aligned on the social media front.

I’m working on spinning up a label for managing a personal release, and as part of it want to be able to self host and stream some tracks from releases or singles for free without just linking an easily interceptable mp3 in an audio element. So, mainly inspired from his efforts with Orastream, but of course without infrastructure there.

To save myself rambling further, I’m aiming to release, open sourced under the label, a containerized boilerplate for self hosting a server and client nodes that operate seekable audio streaming (for FLAC at first) and standard artist site content (bio, media, etc). Mainly as an option for artists with a bit of know how but not enough resources for something more robust so that they can operate independently of any other services if they wanted.

From there I’m hoping people would see enough value to contribute and to build on it from there.

I’ll definitely take your cues. While I doubt I’ll struggle any time in my life with Neil’s kind of numbers, maybe someone else would.

Thanks for the insights! That guy has been a hero of mine since I was young. Still is.
> many workers don't like that.

"many workers"? Citation needed.
I actually don’t think we’re disagreeing all that much. My success is absolutely correlated to my work, but not at all how hard I work. The grind, the hustle, putting in overtime, all that BS on average gets you nowhere.

You work on challenging things because it’s interesting to you, not because you’ll necessarily get paid more for it. If you work for JJ as a researcher you’re probably paid well, if your a postdoc you’re paid like shit. Same work. Being an ICU nurse is extremely challenging, but the paper pusher administrator above them will make more.

Education and self-improvement on average will increase your success. Toiling away at your job 80 hours a week, working two jobs, gigging on the weekends on average won’t.
I'm not sure how externalities should be priced, but it does seem like a good idea, especially in the age of climate change. It is likely politically and practically very difficult though.
I don't think you can always add in the price of a hotel night. If I'm flying from Paris to Copenhagen at 0900, arriving at 1100 and being in the city center by 1200, I wasn't expecting to have to pay for a night in Paris.

A train that leaves Paris the day before at 1347 and arrives at 0655 the next morning (current schedule) isn't as useful, unless what I really wanted was to spend all day in Copenhagen instead of half a day.
1. is pretty close for ex: most brain functions can be called subjective, and therefore not that relevant.
2. is relatively a trend in how civilization has been moving. The cavemen bashed a skull that seemed unfamiliar or they didn't like, we don't we try to setup a legal system and judge a sense of justice.
I don't think every subjective experience should be allowed to be used over other person's choices. I guess we would need something like "your right to swing your hand stops a feet/inch from my nose" kinda principle.
This is a great overview. I don't remember having to put in padding instructions to prevent the pipeline issues mentioned here; maybe we just never ran into that. (I wrote pretty much all the R3000 code for Crash 1 and just do not recall problems like that coming up.)

To us the elephant in the room limitation of PS1 is not mentioned here as far as I could tell from a quick read-through: it had no Z-buffer. This meant that you either had to do heroic pre-computation (sort polygons ahead of time) or you ended up with lots of flickering polygons (bluedino's "jiggling and sparkling" comment below seems apt).

The other thing to note is that to make a truly high-performance game for PS1 you had to completely ditch Sony's sanctioned C APIs -- something they said would cause your game to get banned, but which we did anyway. Sony's libraries spent more time copying registers to and from the stack than they did doing the actual work, so they were a big lose.

Finally, that 2KB scratchpad was immensely powerful if you used it well. It's the only reason the 3D collision detection on Crash was fast enough; it took me 9 months to get that performant enough to ship. The CPU and RAM in those machines were just incredibly slow by today's standards.
This is such a blatant lie. No wonder why fake news is widespread
The Death of Alpha on NT (1999)
Hey, good to know you like it!

Its just me (Jama Poulsen) currently. I hope at some point to be able to work with more people on this project and also to have a base for other archives / institutions (as a B2B product and service) to use the "Conzept UI" for their knowledge base. The Conzept framework is already pretty generalized, multi-lingual and customizable, but more needs to be done. I'm aiming to be able to do a first pilot at the end of the year (or later, depending on the progress). Feel free to send me a message if someone is interested in this.

There will be better user documentation coming (the current guide is a bit dated). Still thinking how to make that more modular, UI-integratable and maintainable.

The whole main app design and UI is from scratch, but many embedded apps are developed by others (I've been donating to some of them for their great work, but more needs to be done here IMHO). No papers or anything on all that currently.

Muscle density isn't built to competitive Olympic levels in 2 years. Having a lifetime of male-level hormones and then 2 years of low testosterone is still an advantage, as we've seen in many events so far.

This is also a strategy that has been used for doping, where athletes in their teens get pumped full of steroids, then go clean for some years and are suddenly very competitive in the 'clean' divisions.
Just out of curiosity I would like to know if this is a emulator written in JavaScript or written in C and compiled with Emscripted for the web. I have not found information in the linked source. Anyone knows?
Yes, they are different in standard British English:

I see usages of fgets in Ch4, not bare gets (didn't check thoroughly)

/* Read a line of user input of maximum size 2048 */
fgets(input, 2048, stdin);

So that fgets does not read in too much data we also must also supply the size of the buffer 2048.

Maybe they updated? Also I'd understand not trying to be 100% safe in the code here to make the code easier to read, unlike in a production version of the tool.
Satellites definitely do watch the whole populated word 24/7. The question is if the satellites that watched this specific place have enough high resolution. And also if some human will ever watch it. Seems like its cloudy and there is no much reason why anyone would look at these images. They are just feed into computers and maybe even deleted after that.
That reminds me of this talk I heard a while back (I think this is it: https://youtu.be/Hk-21p2m8YY)

The guys working on nmap scanned the entire Internet. That set off some serious alarms because on the target side, it looked like they were aware of the existence of the relationship between IPs/assets that were classified. If memory serves some dudes in black suits showed up at their door lol
The family calls the shots there and I don't think many people will appreciate a Saudi Arabia which is in a military alliance with Russia or China.

To a considerable extent, the family also ensures a stable leadership and rule of law. A decade back, I would have supported forceful overthrow of the family. However, after observing Arab "Spring" and its implications in Syria and Libya, I am dead certain that I do not want a power vacuum in Saudi Arabia.
One of the things I really appreciate about disc golf is the low barrier to entry. My local club does events where we give discs away to kids to get them started. We’ll give hundreds of putters away this year and it will cost about $1700.

For $15 we can outfit a kid with a three disc set once they’ve decided they like the sport enough to learn about the differences in discs.

The kids we give these away to are unlikely to get that money from family but a small org can raise the donations with out having to do big donor drives or the like.
Free Landing Page Review by Humans
On the ends of the trip, the train often offers a night of accommodation that is required by the slower pace of the train travel.

For a business trip, I'll often leave on the first flight out Monday morning and fly back Thursday night or Friday night. If the train changes that into leaving Sunday evening and returning Friday or Saturday morning, the "included" nights of accommodation aren't an actual benefit as compared to the competitive mode of travel. Instead, they're a fix to a problem that the train created.

There are trips where I'd rather arrive the night before, so I'm fresh and unrushed for the first morning's meeting. In that case, the train could be better as I'm already taking a night away from the family for performance reasons.

> Unfortunately this deployment went to a system that we believed was not a critical part of infrastructure

Deploying to a different, lower priority system is not a canary. Do you phase deployments to each system, per host or zone?
Stop lying. You literally have no clue who has monero and they aren't the only privacy coin. What you have is claims made by criminals in government jealous that they can't control crypto even if they wanted. PS. US gov released bitcoin and all evidence points to exactly that.
Let's frame the problem like this:if we accept Hubbard as participant in the women field, we should accept also women to men transgenders in the male field(who wouldn't stand a chance of qualifying ever) therefore it is clear we need a transgender category if we don't want to disqualify an entire field of transgender athletes.

You don't need to be in a union to get that though, you don't even need to be in a profession that has a union in any company to get that.
There seems to be some implementation misunderstanding in some of the comments.

The teamsters may seek to unionize the hourly workers and not the salaried developers. It's not unusual for very large manufacturers to have multiple unions (e.g. pipe fitters, electricians, clerical workers...). I'm sure the teamsters would Leo to be the only union for 100% of Amazon's workforce but I imagine they have tactical focus.
Actually if any cohort of the population that really needs fine-tuned optimization strategies.. are parents. Every week I try to find a way to gain a free hour here and there for professional growth.

For a minority yes perhaps.
Its really the best long-term investment that you hope pays off in both seeing them flourish into beautiful adults who will either do something beneficial for humanity and ideally take care of your old broke ass when you are too old and frail.
This one seems kind of tough to quickly summarize, since it covers so much. I guess the final paragraph does a decent job:

Education, training in cognitive and noncognitive skills, nutrition, health care and parenting are all among the building blocks of human capital, and evidence suggests that continuing investments that combat economic hardship among whites and minorities — and which help defuse debilitating conflicts over values, culture and race — stand the best chance of reversing the disarray and inequality that plague our political system and our social order.

Except... gymnastics won't end up being dominated by a bunch of people like Simone Biles.

Female sports will continue to be dominated by biological males if we continue to let this happen.
The string is a BASE45-encoded payload that has already been signed before encoding as a QR-friendly string. The BASE45 is because QR codes only support 45 characters (versus more common BASE64). But by the time the string -> QR happens, the signing has already taken place from the lab who provides the string.
Yes. I should wait for it to be literally everywhere, untill then I can be concerned.
There's the fascinating debate in Anglo-Saxon archaeology around this, too.

Some "male" graves (buried with weapons, armour, etc) have female skeletons in them. And some "female" graves (pots, jewellery, broaches) have male skeletons in them. This is not disputed by anyone, the skeletal and DNA analysis is unequivocal.

But all the writing we have from the period only mentions standard sex/gender roles (all warriors are "he", all primary care givers are "she", there's no mention of homosexuality, etc).

However, all the written evidence we have is from christian sources, and as we know, christianity (especially catholic christianity) has been pretty pro-patriarchy since the start. So while there's no evidence for it, one explanation is that the original pagan Saxon culture had different ideas about gender and sexuality, but this got edited out by the monks transcribing the old pagan sources.
My biggest realisation as a kid playing SimCity 4000 was the fact that a city need industry, and industry needs blue collar workers. So you need to artificially create poorer districts.

Also high status sims class will not use public transport as much because they are rich and can afford to create traffic jams. No matter if you pay for all incentives to use public transportation.

You can't create a Utopia in SimCity, not for everyone.
I'm still waiting for a proper combo box out of HTML <input>. We're still stuck with Win16 style pairing of an input box with a select list underneath it.

>At the bottom, real wages have fallen.

Wages are not the only form of remuneration. Total remuneration is the stat you should look at, since also since 1980 a lot of law changes have made it more costly to employ, and most jobs, even low wage ones, have received lots more benefits.

Also, since 1980, wages at the low end have increased for women and minorities. Only white males at the low end have decreased.

Finally, almost no one spends a career at the low end - entry wages to the workforce are just that - a start for a career. Look at lifetime earnings to see what the lowest lifetime earners make, and then you will see vast improvements in both wages and total remuneration.

BLS tracks all of these variables. Wages, total remuneration, and total cost to employ are the relevant things to look through to get a better picture. Look through them sometime.
The towns (a few different ones, all with MSA populations in the 500,000 range) I'm thinking of has fast food starting at $13.50/hour. With two incomes it isn't out of reach, and that is before you work up the chain, or find a better job - there are lots of other jobs hiring in the area for better pay (they are harder jobs to break into though). While the areas aren't the best, they are still safer than many larger cities.

Margins are slim for sure though. That point should not be overlooked. I am not trying to claim it is easy to live at the bottom.
As the docs say, you can use a LB with this. It'll be 18 dollars a month, though.
This is pretty mean spirited. If "privileged white male" is going through hormone theory, then I don't think that's very privileged (privileged white male is an awful term) The technology here is still rudimentary, rich or not. This is not Altered Carbon.

Laurel Hubbard might be an awful person, but you haven't made the case for that.

I can't even see evidence Laurel campaigned for this, they just seem to be following the rules. In fact it seems they haven't campaigned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JYerP_Ysts
> Try to find an equivalent system that works from 4/8k down to 320px width in any native system.

You probably mean literally every native system. Because it's not like native toolkits didn't exist on the same systems as HTML+CSS.

> a flexible layout system that can

There's significantly more that's required of UI than just layout. And HTML+CSS are horrendously bad for anything beyond a static page of text with images.
Very odd argument indeed, particularly because it equally applies to non-mandatory voting. The deisre to vote could be based on randomness and candidate exposure. Thus whatever underlying assumptions one makes, more people voting gives better representation for any meaningful definition of representation.
The goal of voting for a 3rd party is go get to 5% of the popular vote to fully fund the party across the next election cycle.

Libertarian party has come the closest, earning 3.1% in 2016 while total 3rd party votes were over 5.5%. If the Green Party voters had voted LP we’d have validated a 3rd party that year.

So much political messaging focuses on fear of the other major party that people feel they have to vote opposition rather than voting for who they really want. US elections have been fear driven for years.
Reminds me of the movie, That Thing You Do, with the original band name, The Oneders, or as the record producer asks them, "The Oh-need-ers?".
I think you're attributing malice (as snark) where there is none. The jokes were in good fun, and buried in a days-old thread.

"That was the joke" is a well-known tongue-in-cheek response, it certainly wasn't meant to be snarky.

Sorry if this bothered you, I know HN tends to be self-serious and I forget that sometimes.
> I was hoping for some raunchy limericks or something.

Yay because being trans is all about being raunchy hey ho!

OK, here's my own joke. I'm trans and this is a trans joke taken from, like, life, dude.

There's this guy sitting with four ladies and another
guy and he starts saying how he knows a tranny when he sees one.

"I mean, they all have like, what, size-7 feet? I mean come on, it's so
obvious!"

"I got size 7 feet" says one of the ladies.

The guy blinks once, then goes on:

"And their hands! Have you seen their hands? They're like two times the size of
my hands!"

The second lady holds up her hands. "My hands are bigger than your hands".

The guy pauses for a mere second and goes on.

"But the dead give-away is their voices. They have loud, booming, bass
voices..."

"I can sing in the entire baritone vocal range" says the third lady.

The guy stops, clears his throat, looks around, then leans in conspiratorially.

"You know what's the real way to tell a trannie apart? They can explain the
offside rule in soccer".

"That's easy" says the fourth lady. "A player is in an offside position if any
of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of
the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the
second-last opponent".

The guy is now sweeating bricks. He turns to look at each of them carefully.

"OK" he says. "Was even a single one of you born female"?

"Sure" says the other guy. "I was".

Badum-tish.
Autocomplete should have been part of HTML 20 years ago. It's incredibly frustrating how slow HTML moves when it comes to basic usability.
RDF ingestion is problematic for Wikidata, because importing a dataset to Wikidata requires reconciling existing entities so as to avoid duplicare entries. The easiest way to achieve that is to publish your dataset online, create a linking Wikidata property for it, then ask for it to be imported in https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org where reconciliation can be done by the crowd.
Most of the web seems like the devs are stuck in the early 2000s just with faster computers.

I think part of it is stack overflow where 15 years ago the only way to do a lot of stuff was a couple functions full of jquery so that's what the "correct" answers say to do.
I'm running Firefox on Android and it doesn't seem to behave any different from a plain text input - no suggestions aside from the keyboard's predictions, and those are mostly things that aren't in the list.

Chrome on Android shows the list of suggestions as soon as the element is focused, and typing filters it as expected.

> Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX

How good is this currently? Is it a good idea to convert back and forth, so that I can collaborate with others who work directly on the Latex sources?

approval voting is a special case of score voting where the range of scores is limited to 0 and 1. if you want to express different levels of preference, you can expand this range and get full score voting. the downside is this puts a heavier burden on the voter to decide on scores (if it's 0-99, i give my first choice 99, but what do i give my second choice? 98? 75? 50? my choice might depend on what i expect other voters to think makes sense as a score)
The official suggestion (and what I use) is uBlock Origin in hard mode. It's not really matrix blocking but essentially does 90% of what umatrix did if not more.

It has a chevron to indicate options when the input is focused as well as when the user hovers over it so there's no reliance on a mouse input. That seems to be enough to me. Why would the user need to see a chevron all the time, eg even when they're not interacting with the element?
The solution is simple: ban FPTP and give regions X years to come up with a replacement. We can have one big natural experiment on which alternative method is best.

One thing about the US for example, states get a lot of latitude on exactly how to conduct elections.
Currently the only incentive to post a new answer to an old question is you get a special badge. That's neat but limited. I've gone through old R questions and posted answers with a more modern syntax and my answers rarely get much attention.

I'd be cautious about overriding an accepted answer. Imagine a situation where there's an easy-to-understand algorithm that's O(n^2) and the "Correct" algorithm that's O(n). If OP only has a dozen datapoints, the former might be the best answer for her specific problem, despite it clearly not being the right approach for most people finding the thread via Google in the future.
I'm not a fan of the whole WHATWG spec/process, but it has datalist and other not-so-well-known elements covered. If you prefer a succinct reference (rather than the full browser-melting spec), there are other other sources than WHATWG's spec or MDN helping with discoverability, such as mine (as a proper SGML DTD grammar, no less) [1].
