I was never into surround, but having a proper 2.1 setup has always been a huge priority. I've been rocking a pair of Polk RTI12s and a hand built subwoofer for the last decade and I can't imagine upgrading.

Even the highest end soundbar on the market today would be a drop in the bucket compared to what this setup is capable of. I actually have a few sound bars/docks/etc on hand to compare. It is comedy at best.

I don’t speak for stripe, but do have similar experience with idempotent APIs.

> the idempotency functionality is created in a kind of layer around the main application functionality …

Yes. Think of it as a kind of request/response handler cache that doesn’t need to be deeply tied to the operation logic. On the request path insert an entry with a compound key for the “idempotency parameters” like client identity, operation, idempotency token, and request parameters. You can hash these if needed. On the response path update your idempotency cache with the response value. If you the underlying operation times out etc you can synthesize and insert the exception response. On subsequent requests read the idempotency key(s) from your cache and return the cached response if it exists.

> So the idempotency key protects against faults on the network between the client and stripe's idempotency layer, but not against stripe-internal faults between the idempotency layer and the application.

Maybe. The external idempotency token is there for client retries. Internally there’s idempotency all the way down to somewhere you’re (hopefully) doing a compare and swap, conditional put, or similar. A subsequent request that conflicts should be detected based on that state.

> Why is the idempotency not achieved by using an idempotent database transaction or atomic operation?

Beyond small examples you probably can’t. You end up calling multiple other services or have distributed state of some sort for most interesting operations. And distributed transactions are expensive/difficult/painful. So plumbing idempotency and error handling workflows through is simpler.
Sure, you enter a pool with a trillion % APY and then wonder why it collapsed!?

Oddly, the article doesn't mention the LINK Oracle they used rounded the price to a number of decimals and since TITAN went too low the price returned was $0 and thus the IRON contract itself would fail since it had an assert price > 0!
Always has been. That is, crash reporting that happens automatically, without user's consent.

It's not people suddenly objecting a standard practice - it's another episode of the ongoing fight against attempts to normalize this practice.
Crash reporting is only a part of that telemetry
In some cases sure, but it depends on your goals. If your goal is to run a marathon, then you need to run. If your goal is to become an author, you need to write.

It's insane to force yourself to suffer when there are more fun and more sustainable options available to you. In my experience people making themselves run are attempting it for general fitness because 'that's how it's done', rather than as a sporting goal.

I got the Sonos Arc, which was (a ridiculously expensive IMHO) £799, and I was expecting to be blown away after reading glowing reviews. Instead, it's just... OK. Using the app to calibrate it to the room made a big difference. I might be spoiled by my obsession with headphones, it obviously won't match the fidelity of my e.g. Focal Clears. Still better than the built-in LG CX speakers, and good enough for the occasional movie or Switch game. It also looks pretty good.

Yes, the article is beautiful and clearly written but it seems that this insight is wrong. The algorithm can indeed be regarded as a stochastic gradient descent with approximate descent directions.
Why is "On Error Resume Next" terrible, but not-nullable types are praised? With nullable types f.doStuff() will crash if f is null. With non-nullable types f?.doStuff() won't crash if f is null, the doStuff call will be silently dropped. Isn't that just like On Error Resume Next?
Good point. I find it very relaxing to go outside when nauseous from an infection. But not for running. For walking. The fresh air and body movement is great.

Instead of going every day 10 min you can use a scheme. Some apps help with that, but you can make your own as well (e.g. spreadsheet). You slowly build up with that via intervals, you do it every other day with one day extra rest in a week. In 12 weeks you can run 5 km straight. I do get the complexity might put one off tho.

No, people are think that them collecting "Data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities’ requests (if any)" harmful.

That has nothing to do with crash reporting, and there is no sane reason for a desktop, offline audio editor to collect such data.
This is extremely good content, thanks for the link.

Just the first few pages are enough to convince me that Robinhood is a very poorly run organisation. As a financial technologist with a couple of decades' experience, basic things such as only having a 'physical inaccessibility' BCP plan is appalling.

I wouldn't touch this company with a penny of my money, whether as a customer or an investor.
If this wins it will be because of the price and because it can be deployed fast, but it does not look safe to pack that many battery-powered cars into a small and long tunnel.

The Level 5 driving by 2027 is nonsense.
Robinhood recently closed out an options position "automatically", selling it for 1/5th the amount I was seeking. They deemed it was "risky" yet the position was moving in my favor the whole week.

I don't know how common that is on other platforms, but I'm feeling these fines probably are justified.
Take a look at their privacy policy, that seems quite broad for "crash reporting".

I love being able to translate these less than common concepts. "Garantie des vices cachés" is something that everybody understands in France. Now I know the english name!
Agreed, we are conditioned to have different expectations from software which inherently deals with the network, like a web browser, than software which is inherently offline like a audio editing program.
“The current evidence against Ivermectin is pretty overwhelming, just look at the Wikipedia article.”

Again your comment is oddly dismissive. Evidence is showing that Ivermectin appears to be an effective treatment. No conspiracy or anti-vax message being pushed.

Yes in the US, China and Western Europe Vaccines are readily available and this option makes sense. However in many other nations logistics of vaccination (price, transport, facilities, geographic spread) make it much harder to get vaccines out to the entire population. With Ivermectin no longer under patent nations (like India) can produce Ivermectin and work to increase distribution of vaccines as an a effective way to control covid.
> they are telling the government that government regulation isn't needed — they can regulate themselves

Quite a "trustworthy" regulation entity, which helped brokers remove evidence of financial misconducts and blocked public scrutiny into that matter.[0][1]

I have close to zero confidence in the finance industry being able to regulate itself.

Forks there are a few.

What you need is a fork which is sustainable, trustworthy and manages to pulls users towards itself.

On the last point: just a few weeks back I ran into somebody still using OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice. Audacity is referenced from many magazines and targets non-geeks to a large part.
Except that Germany and Austria have an obsession to outsource, or more accurately nearshore everything to Poland, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Czech Republic, etc. so dev wages there hold no candle to the ones in the US or even UK and the only path to decent pay is going into management.
Shouldn’t DARPA or the National Security Agency fund 3-4 developers full-time to fork it and start improvements that will be so sexy that the russian version fades away? If they are so concerned about national security… that seens like a low hanging fruit.
> Iron Finance says the crash was not a rug pull — a malicious tactic where crypto developers abandon the project and run away with investors’ money — but poor tokenomics resulting in “the world’s first large-scale crypto bank run.” The project detailed the sequence of events that unfolded in a post-mortem blog post:

That said I'd say I fixed 95% of the crashes, even the trivial ones. The remainder were difficult enough to understand the cause (ie: out of memory and we got caught holding the stick) that risk of change outweighed fixing.

In a premine, developers hard code coin balances for themselves into their own ledger prior to public mining becoming available. Satoshi clearly didn’t do this. It’s that cut and dry.
Unfortunately I don't understand what you just linked.

Often I see people resolving complexity with inscrutability but I'm afraid it doesn't help resolving the problem. Do you have a something written that explains what is this think you're sharing?
Yeah for the EU I think that there's a law that effectively says things should last as long things should be expected to last.

For major appliances IIRC this has been shown in court to be as much as ten years. I think at some point in the past apple caught a lot of flack for this over "Apple Care", a paid add-on to give you a longer than basic warranty, but neither the original nor the enhanced warranty were as good as the legally required warranty anyway.

I guess this probably still applies in the UK, for now, as well.
You can combine sports with listening to music or a podcast. That way, you arguably only lose time while changing your clothes (you need more than just shoes for running...) or going for a shower (you will sweat). I also found I sleep better when I do regular workouts. All of which helps with persistence. I tend to listen to certain uplifting music which I normally don't listen to much, such as old metal (example: Bolt Thrower) or minimal techno (example: Extrawelt).

Right now, I'm waiting for my 2nd vaccine shot. 2 weeks after I got that, I'll get more into shape.

In the past I used an app to help with interval training. Worked well. I quit with it but remained reasonably in shape. Then COVID-19 happened...
>BRRips are frequently 30+GB for a 1-2 hour movie. Do the math. You’re off by like 5-8x.

No. First, 1-2 hour is a 100% increase. 15GB for a 2hour movie is realistic, with a very high quality (CRF 18 or 19). Which would then be ~15Mbps, considering that there is also audio. Going further does not increase quality, but does increase file size.

It seems to me that you want to transfer an intermediate-codec (or even raw) via the Internet.
most mild infections are viral, and I'd assume most folks with bacterial infections would not be in a place where they think about running..
If Firefox had told people they would collect data for law enforcement there would be more noise there as well.

There are good and legitimate reasons for collecting user data, but many of us think it should be voluntarily, minimal and at least not shared with anyone for anything but its original purpose.

In fact we had a very interesting court case in Høgsterett (kind of Supreme Court) here last week where it was finally decided that the police could not aquire biological samples from the university of Oslo to help in a missing person investigation as the person in question had not agreed to it, so obviously some very influential judges in one civilized country do agree.

-----

That said, between the I Robot extension, mandatory data collection and the gutting of the extension system Mozilla seems to be on a multi year marathon effort to play all their cards into Googles hands.

Firefox is still my main browser though but to a large degree because the alternatives aren't quite there for me as a power user.
Unfortunately my family didn't pay close attention when I was taught how to tie my shoes, so I ended up using a granny knot until my 30's.

After googling I figured out the problem, but it took me probably a month to internalize the new knot (the worst being the 3rd or so phase when the new move becomes natural and you don't have to think about it anymore, but sometimes your brain just flips a 50/50 coin as to whether it'll use the old or the new method).
It could've been a fantastic April Fool's release. I like to imagine that was the original intent and a manager went "eh, release it anyway".
That's trusting private keys of passport-issuing governments and makers of the NFC chips. If you can trust an authority like that, then you don't even need a blockchain.

The whole scheme will fall apart as soon as value of cheating will be higher than the cost of equipment needed to extract keys from a passport.
Yeah, I agree. Mozilla toes the line, and there are many instances where they got push back for straying too far.

But wouldn't you agree that HN would go apeshit if Mozilla tried to introduce a "law-enforcement" clause like Audacity did?
Indeed, but reading this I definitely get the sense this would all be easier if that was left to displays at the end of the chain, rather than be present in how the information is encoded on disk.

Can obviously understand how we ended up here.
Still, the performance of PID is limited if it takes three minutes to spin up a server.

That means either you'd have to run the control loop comparatively slowly (e.g. once every five minutes), or you'd need to have the gain very low, or you'd ave to tolerate a lot of overshoot. None of which will produce great results.

A more sophisticated controller would be able to take into account the fact there are servers currently starting up, and only call for more if those already on the way won't be sufficient.
I believe the issue is that the update to the T's & C's is worded in a very wide and vague way. If I interpret that in a generous way, it's because their lawyers told them to be generic so as to be "always in compliance". The thinking being, no-one ever reads the conditions anyway. I've seen the same thinking in previous companies where I worked.

The problem arrives when people start actually reading these vague and wide conditions. It's a bit like when you tell your son or daughter to take some money to go to the movies, and when you find out they have taken 500$ they say "don't worry, I won't use it all, but at least I'll be sure to have enough".

If they would have explicitly stated what they were logging, and for what purpose, I think reactions would have been much less.

Personally, I would have asked for permission upon crashing, with a button to show what is being sent.
I view it as a necessary evil. My metabolism is slow enough that unless I pretty much avoid anything good, I will gain weight without exercise. So for me, going to the gym and running on the treadmill for an hour with a TV show or two to watch on my phone is the best option. I get the hard work done and am able to divert some of my attention to whatever I'm watching - otherwise that attention would be focused on how much I hate running. Forcing myself to run outside is significantly harder - I simply can't manage to keep up the same schedule.
Would be interesting to see which biosensors are known to work with this framework and how they compare. I bought some popular (relatively cheap) device a couple of years ago and I was not convinced it worked at all.
A uniform framework would allow to see whether different devices used on the same person provide consistent data.

Edit: just discoverd docs/SupportedBoards.rst :)

What is your experience regarding signal quality for the listed devices?
I think the idea is that an experienced player would recognise this situation immediately (usually there is only one legal move because you are in check, or there is only one move that doesn't put you in check), or even ahead of time (knowing that their opponent's move brings them in check) and just play the only possible move straight away.

Of course a beginner would take some time to spot this, but it's unlikely you would confuse a beginner for a cheater, since a beginner will likely make many sub-optimal moves and spend lots of time thinking in general.
Intelligence and Practice in Chess Development
while I ma be histrionic, the only time I ever encounter any climate science denial is when it is brought up as an insult in a "oh those people who beleive this nonsense" way. I have never encountered it "in the wild", so to speak. Not once.

This is why I am sceptical that it is anything other than a fictional bogeyman to obfuscate rich climate change believers unwillingness to sacrifice luxuries, and poor climate change believers inability to live above absolute crushing poverty [without fossil fuels].
There's a chance that it's just the wording for CYA situations. They will cooperate with LE either way, so maybe the lawyers decided to put it clearly in the t&c-s.

This really applies to almost every company, since barely anyone will fight LE in your name. It's just rarely spelled out clearly in public.
This is a strawman argument. The policy specifically says the following.

> "data necessary for law enforcement, litigation, and authorities' requests (if any),"

This is very different from "crash reporting".
Mostly retail investors don't have the time to spend on following the markets. But I think they are missing out and only missing the right tools. FOMO is a problem for a lot of retail investors.
It doesn't seem like a blind test when the subjects are saying things like

"With the soundbar, it sounded more like a ‘front and back’ effect rather than a wraparound effect.”"

Am I misunderstanding something?
Sure.

Hence why I talked about the feeling you get when you realise you have mis-evaluated rather than trying to define it precisely.

From the OP:

> But when AlphaZero plays, and you watch Stockfish's score, the reason it wins is that it makes moves Stockfish thinks is poor, so it rates AlphaZero's moves poorly, and then all of a sudden it has an oh shit! moment when it realises that AlphaZero is actually ahead, and its score jumps. It's really a look inside the computer's head while it's being beaten by a better player.

Sure - you get that feeling from blunders too. But take a look at the Stockfish vs Alpha Zero games - Stockfish doesn't blunder. It it just outplayed: https://www.chess.com/news/view/updated-alphazero-crushes-st...

If you watch from here in game one you can see the "oh shit" moment, as Stockfish's evaluation drops from +1 to even to -1: https://youtu.be/Q5EPqM8gS7k?t=255

I don't know those people. I would like to own a car and maybe a house one day so perhaps that influences my own perspective. I would rather my descendants were able to inherit property in an industrial society with a severe climate crisis, than have them be property-less peasants with no prospects and utterly dependant on their socioeconomic "betters" for handouts in a world with diminishing global warming.
>The not very surprising conclusion is that both intelligence and practice are important factors in chess skill development. On their own, however, they can only explain certain aspects of development. For example, practice has its strongest effect in the beginning of expertise development, whereas intelligence’s strongest effect is at the peak and in the later stages. Together, they explain the changes across the whole life span much better than they do on their own.

Consider multiple similar crash reports from one IP address or subnet - that could indicate, that there is something odd ie. with DNS resolution in particular network (corporate or whatever). But that's the case only for apps, that rely on internet connectivity heavily.
You can pretend Flash for example never existed, but ActiveX was native not 3rd party. Further it’s even still supported by Microsoft.

The Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022 (for a list of what’s in scope, see the FAQ). The same IE11 apps and sites you use today can open in Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode

Beyond that even Linux users have faced zero days. The web is inherently unsafe which in practice is rarely a issue for the cautious, but that’s only so useful.

I have read some material on how depression was viewed in history. There is at least some work in Christian theology on sloth/acedia which is not only laziness, but also has a lot of signs of what is called clinical depression [1].

While searching this, a very strange coincidence I have found is that the "demon" for sloth is the same as the demon who inspires people to make discoveries [2]. I speculate that the link between depression and creativity was recognized in antiquity.
