I've never been a passive music listener. As a child I found muzak in supermarkets and lifts and radio stations in people's cars to be borderline insane. Why would you permit your mind to be occupied by such noise? I found it troubling that nobody shared my perspective.

Later I read in to Buddhism and IIRC it has the same take, essentially if you allow yourself to be subsumed by senses you are displaying laziness. Not denying the aesthetics, these days I am less intellectual and can tolerate some music but it's still pretty grating. I find I can listen to a given piece of music with lyrics precisely once or twice, after which it is intolerable. Music without lyrics or with foreign language lyrics have better staying power, but it's still weak.

I explained to my child this week (while putting on some lute music as a contrast to Chinese string instruments) that in the past there was no recorded music and all music was experienced live. This is often forgotten.

Now as ever, I tend to program in silence.
It only depends on what's the status of the pandemic.

I'm a bit opinionated on data modelling, so a couple points.

1. "OLAP Cubes" arguably belong to Microsoft and refer to SQL Server cubes that require MDX queries. It's a solution given to us by Microsoft that comes with well understood features. "OLAP" itself is a general term used to describe any database used for analytical processing, so OLAP has a wide range of uses.

2. OLAP Cubes (as defined above) started to decrease in population in 2015 (I'd argue).

3. Any solution to fixing "OLAP" that comes from a commercial vendor is suspicious. As painful as Kimbal & Inmon are, they are ideas that don't require vendor lock in.

4. At my current company, we recently wrapped up a process where we set out to define the future of our DW. Our DW was encumbered by various design patterns and contractors that came and went over the past decade. We analyzed the various tables & ETLs to come up with a clear set of principles. The end result looks eerily close to Kimball but with our own naming conventions. Our new set of principles clearly solve our business needs. Point being you don't need Kimball, Inmon, Looker, etc to solve data modelling problems.

5. Columnar databases are so pervasive these days that you should no longer need to worry about a lack of options when choosing the right storage engine for your OLAP db.

6. More and more data marts are being defined by BI Teams w/little modeling/CS skills. To that end, I think it's important to educate your BI teams as a means to minimize the fallout, and be accommodating in your DW as means to work efficiently with your BI teams. This is to say settle on a set of data modelling principles that work for you, but may not work for someone else.

Go looking for studies. Years ago, there were studies showing that nutritional supplements were more effective than meds to help kids calm down and focus.

IIRC, calcium and B vitamins were some of the recommended supplements. (Edit: don't take my word for that. Instead, use that as a jumping off point to find studies and track your own issues and draw your own conclusions about what works for you as an individual.)

Show HN: Python WMS server to render Heatmap: visualizing earthquakes in Japan
Ask who? In-product surveys would be ignored or trigger this same outrage, and requests for an email address at download time simply result in throwaway accounts and other garbage input.

What successful ways can you envision that a software developer ought to be asking their users for their experience, when the software is available for free without restriction upon download or use?

How would you ensure that users who are satisfied with the way Audacity is working will take an equivalent amount of time to report their satisfaction as users who aren't satisfied with the way Audacity is working, so that your feedback is representative of the userbase as a whole rather than of the vocal subset that have problems? Would you advise Audacity to stop trying to measure or assess its users and their opinions, and instead simply do whatever they think is best for Audacity without harvesting user data?

If Audacity truly accepted the view that the product should never report a single byte of information back to them and that they should never attempt to collect any data whatsoever about their users, then they would be forced to make decisions about Audacity without those users' data (including their opinions!), even if those decisions could end up being disliked or contentious among a subset of the users. At that point I expect they would likely determine that product autoupdate and feature usage metrics are a valuable feature for the product and not of concern to most users, and then ship those — regardless of the cries of outrage from the subset that hold contradictory opinions — because, after all, that subset demanded not to exist to Audacity, and so their wish is fulfilled.

How can the vocal contingent of Audacity users who say "my existence should remain unknown to those who make the software I use" expect to have their opinions considered relevant, when they specifically demand not to be considered as existing at all?

For someone unfamiliar with how the overall process works, what’s the road from this design to seeing this power laptops or desktops available to consumers? It isn’t clear to me, for example, what else needs to be designed around this - a motherboard? Will software “just works” since it is using a known instruction set architecture?
>Of course it should be disabled by default, and it would never be uploaded.

I believe when you make crash reports / telemetry disabled by default then you lose a lot of reports,

thus make your life harder as a developer that wants to deliver high quality solution for as many OSes, hardwares, configurations, blabla.

I don't have problem that e.g my IDE would report how many files and lines of code my project has, because it may allow devs to make better decisions.

I don't think it's whataboutism. We were discussing if exposed corruption should be dismissed as being partisan.

There was more than just a DNC dislike of Bernie Sanders. There were financial, policy, and hiring decisions involved, arranged between Clinton and the DNC, contrary to a free and fair election. From wikipedia [0]:

> The leaks resulted in allegations of bias against Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, in apparent contradiction with the DNC leadership's publicly stated neutrality, as several DNC operatives seemed to deride Sanders' campaign and discussed ways to advance Hillary Clinton's nomination. Later reveals included controversial DNC–Clinton agreements dated before the primary, regarding financial arrangements and control over policy and hiring decisions. The revelations prompted the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz before the 2016 Democratic National Convention. The DNC issued a formal apology to Bernie Sanders and his supporters "for the inexcusable remarks made over email" that did not reflect the DNC's "steadfast commitment to neutrality during the nominating process." After the convention, DNC CEO Amy Dacey, CFO Brad Marshall, and Communications Director Luis Miranda also resigned in the wake of the controversy.

I'm rooting for the exposure of political corruption on all sides. I think it is an important thing for the people to know the truth, no matter the messenger.

Are you rooting for something different?

Appreciate your detailed, instructive, welcoming, and tailored message, Dang.

I personally interpet "using HN for promotion" as a means of getting some tangible gain - you're selling a product/services, or otherwise stand to gain something tangible, for example. Is it really self-promotion to write a detailed, well-researched piece on an interesting niche, and submit that? If so, that interpretation seems counter-productive to me. We should want to encourage such participation in the community.

All that to say that I thought this was a fantastic submission for HN, well in line with other interesting topics, so I was surprised to see you stress the self-promotion aspect so much. It just didn't seem applicable to me.

Now whether the topic or article as-written it strikes a cord with users, that's something that voting is well-suited to facilitate.

-----

To the author - I thought the article was a great read!
I think your original framing was pretty insightful. There are unpleasant parts about having kids. That could be banal stuff, like a baby crying when you're tired or getting annoyed by kids movies or songs. It could be more significant stuff. There's a vulnerability that comes from having something so precious exposed to the world. Imagine laying in bed at 3 am contemplating the unsettlingly non-zero chance your baby could just die for no reason. Unpleasant is underselling it.

It's a sign of immaturity to avoid unpleasant but worthwhile things. Like a child who doesn't want to brush his teeth or eat vegetables. Conversely, it's a sign of maturity to be willing to be willing to overcome obstacles, even unpleasant ones, and make sacrifices, to do things that are worthwhile.

The reaction is completely overblown. As a software developer myself I know how important crash reports are to figure out which bugs are impacting the most number of users. If everyone moved to this version without telemetry, we would end up with a far buggier version of Audacity because the developer has no clue of what bugs of prioritize. Audacity runs on multiple OSs and with the huge amount of hardware devices available, it's impossible for the maintainer of an open source project to test them all. I really hope that this project doesn't catch up, for the sake of bug-free audacity.

I don't think I missed that point. I'm trying to argue that copyright is relevant to Copilot's input if not allowed by an OSS license.

Maybe I'm missing something (just not the thing you said), but has Github made any legal claims so far? The original article is written by a politician in EU...

Even if you're a lawyer defending Github in this case, there's still a couple things that needs to be clarified before you can make the case: (maybe the info is out there but I'm too lazy to research)

- Is Github only using code/repos that are explicitly under OSS licenses? (because if that's the case, then the discussion might be justified in presuming OSS terms, and it may be the case that more restrictive non-OSS licenses would require a different analysis)

- As somebody pointed out in another thread, the Github terms of service agreement seems to grant Github additional rights when dealing with user uploaded content. Is that a legal basis for the use?

The unstaking transaction can be on both chains and it's irrelevant to the attack. What matters is that a history exists starting from a block validated by the cheating validator. The fork starts from before the unstaking transaction.

I guess I view it as democratizing rather than terrifying, particularly when there is broader acceptance of research and papers in non-STEM areas from outside the western sphere. For instance, psychology, history, linguistics, social fields (sociology, gender studies, etc) are all heavily tainted by a Western worldview/ideology bias due to the immense dominance of Western universities and academic spheres. Having a competing ecosystem is going to improve the diversity of thought we see.
Unfortunately, living standards differ too much within the EU for that.
> I say a lot of unpopular things on HN and, so far, they haven't banned me.

They certainly don't ban for opinions that would be upvoted in another thread, but one will be downvoted, and H.N. seems to limit posts to five per day to any user with any recent downvoted comment.

Just yet I was limited because a single one of my comments received a downvote, but that comment has now been upvoted again, so I am no longer limited. — This does not seem like a particularly good system to me and scares people from saying anything that goes against the mentality in any particular thread.

If you do it right, you can get taken seriously sometimes though it's a slow process and not for the innately impatient or the folks looking to grab karma or the folks wanting to make a splash.

There are certainly strategies and diplomatic tactics that can aid one, but I do not feel one should need to do so if absence of such would leave one upvoted in another thread depending on what way they mentality of the thread swings, which is of course vicious, since this system further diminishes dissent.

Are they displaying the license under which said code is licensed when they display a chunk of licensed code? If not, then they're violating the terms of most licenses (except pure public domain, or other similar licenses which don't have any such requirements attached).

The use of licensed code in other projects must be done under the terms of that license or you aren't legally (under copyright law) allowed to use the code.
Most traditional forums never had a timer system, and it did not seem to be needed.

It indeed resulted in some threads being alive for months, but that was only because the discussion in it was healthy and interesting, and new input on the same subject continued to be had.

They typically also do not have an archival system and often præfer that one revive an old thread that was dead for years rather than make a new one on the same subject, as in doing so all the old content becomes visible again for a fresh perspective.

I agree that often it is quite interesting to receive new replies with new input to a thread that died off three years ago.

I am not seeing these fora being gamed at all: in order to game them, one must provide content interesting enough to draw replies. — Visibility is purely a function of the number of replies, not of agreement.
I think it's pretty reasonable to assign responsibility to both. We don't make gamblers whole again just because casinos are predatory.
Meanwhile there are surprisingly many programming languages with a "synthesizable subset" meant to "replace Verilog". From my point of view it would make more sense to look for a dedicated language, which does not have the uncertainty of synthesizability (because the language was originally intended for something completely different), and which does not aim at the most general case of digital design, but e.g. only RTL and behavioral level for synchronous circuits. This might be an example: https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/Lola/index.html.
Stop. Just stop. Software needs to reach out to the internet to provide some much-needed functionality such as auto-updating or crash reporting.

Branding any of this as telemetry then creating a bunch of immediately abandoned forks is a joke.

Before you say “well make this opt-in” - that doesn’t work for crash reporting nor does it really work for auto-updating.

Things change. The internet needs Javascript, distributing desktop apps using electron makes a lot of sense and developers need automated feedback. Please stop.

The least you could do is use Google before making uneducated claims like this:

> Jacobabad crossed the 35C wet bulb threshold in July 1987, then again in June 2005, June 2010 and July 2012. Each time the boundary may have been breached for only a few hours, but a three-day average temperature has been recorded hovering around 34C in June 2010, June 2001 and July 2012. The dry bulb temperature is often over 50C in the summer.

If you're ignoring when it happens, changing goalposts, interpreting facts to fit your preconceived notions, and dismissing things based on the No True Scotsman fallacy, I could see how you might think that.

Meanwhile, the Great Barrier Reef is bleaching so often now it can't recover, extreme weather has become more common, glaciers are retreating, coastal areas are eroding, and on and on.

My wife had bad palpitations and tachycardia after both shots for a week, too. So, I'm not sure why these are not listed among common side effects. Other people I know had high blood pressure (without having a history of such), and many other things they haven't experienced before. I suddenly got severe skin dryness on my knees - something I've never ever had, so, again, this is not like the tetanus shot or any other vaccine I've had before - even the BCG was less noticeable. Not to mention the extreme pain in the are of the shot - both couldn't sleep during first and second shots due to waking up from pain in the arm. I'm waiting for Novavax or others for my kids or newer variants. I'm not doing an mRNA again, sorry. I am not doing an adenovirus vector one either - the virus is well-known for causing blood cell issues leading to blood clots. And those giving the shots should learn to pull first, and if they don't see blood, then inject it - it's the old forgotten practice for giving shots in the muscle tissue, and avoid the blood stream!

This part is not inherently true. Only time will tell how Audacity reacts, and they could very well have an UnGoogled-Chromium/Codium situation on their hands.
And it’s not just about the people’s preference. An office could be the google campus or it could be a crappy cubicle farm.

So comparing wfh to an office could be comparing completely different things depending on the individuals circumstances.

Is this claiming to be the first such programming framework to be unveiled for Python, or the first one ever that just happens to b in Python? The comma usually would be chosen and placed to indicate the latter. But we’ve been doing this for many years under different guises.
