Great recommendations in here, and I'm happy to see this thread getting such attention!

This is totally a shameless self-plug, but I think it could be interesting for you:

I'm working on a project called Elementary Audio [1] which is a javascript runtime + framework for writing native audio software. It's like the Web Audio API in that it's javascript+audio, but unlike Web Audio in that it aims to target true native audio apps, like plugins for your DAW or hardware projects.

The API that it offers feels to me very much like thinking and working in analog synths, which is why I think you might find it interesting. You can describe and wire up signals and just see what they sound like without having to worry about what needs to happen under the hood for you to hear it.

I put together a guide for dipping your toes into making sound [2] and you'll find there a bunch of other resources that I recommend for getting into the topic.

I should note too that it's currently in beta and only supports macos and linux (windows coming soon!)

Personal anecdote: It seems that some people produce metabolites that disrupt their sleep when they exercise, even at low levels of exercise.
To the degree that folks have agency over their sleep schedule, yes, improving sleep is the best path to improving sleep.

For those of us that have less control over that situation (I'm a parent of young children; others may struggle with chronic illness or other interferences), more tools in the toolset are welcome.
Quanta Magazine [1] has an interesting article about how vaccines can help pathogens evolve to be more virulent, a particularly interesting part:

> After the parasites circulated through 21 rounds of vaccinated mice, Barclay and Read studied them and compared them to malaria parasites that had circulated through 21 rounds of unvaccinated mice. The strains from the vaccinated mice, they found, had grown far more virulent, in that they replicated faster and killed more red blood cells. At the end of 21 rounds of infection, these more quickly growing, deadly parasites were the only ones left.

As a sibling mentioned, it doesn't appear to be as bad as bacterial resistance, or at least different in a nuanced way.

From what I've read there is a difference between vaccinating _before_ a pandemic and vaccinating _during_ a pandemic. With the safer preference being to vaccinate before a pandemic to avoid immunological escape.

The missing partition between tabs irritates me greatly. Especially as the label of the tab fades out to the right, there is no indication for the exact x-space taken up by a tab. The only fixed thing is the favicon. Furthermore, the fading out of the text is greatly irritating me. My vision is the best and I constantly try to focus on those parts but they are not out of focus, but faded out. Just a vertical separator of some sorts would help with visibility in my eyes (literally! :p)
If you can get seed funding in 2021, it's almost silly not to take it. Especially if you're building a self service, pay per user business.
I can see where you're coming from - having a browser support all these protocols seems like poor design. Let everything do what they're good at, and all that. But usability suffers when users need to install and open different applications for every protocol they want to use. I think it might be good if there was some robust way to provide low-level browser extensions (that would probably be loaded in as shared objects).

That way Firefox could drop (or never add) support for FTP, bittorrent, etc., but those could still be access within the browser by installing the extensions through your package manager. I'd love it if I could send files to friends using bittorrent through the browser without having to rely on sites like instant.io or file.pizza. I do love those sites, but they're no replacement for a proper torrent client.

In a perfect world we wouldn't have to move everything into the browser for users to consider using it. Alas, we do not live in a perfect world. On that note, this probably couldn't be done because of security concerns. Making it easy for people to hand over low-level control of their browser would be problematic.
Given how many discussions I had in the past about people insisting to support legacy, unsupported browsers I'm surprised "5% of our users use it" isn't enough to convince almost everyone to support it.
That's backblaze B2, not personal backup.

> And I hate being forced into a _team_.

Maybe you would like to be able to shit on the street, but there are laws against it because it would be unhealthy and probably also because people would find it "indecent". I know that not be able to shit in the street limits your freedom and forces you to be on the non-shiters team. But, I think that it is for the good of society.

Maybe vaccination is different, and then we can discuss that. But just to say that you do not want to live in a society with rules seems quite extreme.

And sorry for the shitty example, but I was trying to find something not yet politicized.
I'm curious what comforts you gave up. For me, I'd at minimum want a quiet, private room with AC if it's over 80F, and a 'non public' bathroom with a lockable door. I know that probably rules out a $20/d budget.
I would second this general idea, but I don‘t know about the Analog 4 specifically? Out of all the analog synths it is the most like a little computer. It‘s awesome but doesn‘t feel like a learning tool. There are a lot of synths that kind of have the signal flow laid out on the front panel, like a Korg Monologue. That seems helpful.

One of the tenets of the theory of the communist society is that most people would choose to work (a few hours a day).
Maybe stability depends on your use case. For me, Audacity has been much less stable in the last three years than it was 10 years ago. For the past three years, I've had multiple cases where features broke with an update. I (sometimes) record a podcast with a friend, and our flow involves "not updating Audacity anymore, just so we don't have to deal with bs regressions."
Take a guess; did I, in fact, already know that? There's another thread around here somewhere in which I am deliberately impolite to someone.
What if I don't? This is on a new Apple ID.

It's impossible to install old versions of apps without ever having "owned" them, even if they're free.
Your "solution" also doesn't work for all apps on the store, quite a few of them don't offer old versions anymore at all.
Are there similar relatively simple methods or simd tricks for multi-way merges?
I am listening to "The Bitcoin standard" right now and just came by the part where the author explains why he thinks bitcoin is a case of "any publicity is good publicity". And it does not seem very far fetched to me
Bitcoin mainly was used to escape the limitations of currency transfer. Gambling on the chinese stockmarket is of very limited value.
Oh, I'm talking about 10-20 years.
Yeah that was a big WTF moment for me too. It is completely normal and human nature to want to do better and have more. This has nothing to do with social media! I couldn’t imagine being stuck in a rut of a frugal fixed income forever. I post nothing on social media, I care nothing about keeping up with what I see there, and I like being different. But I still want to be advancing, improving, and getting more.
Maybe you guys can find a middle ground here, and not be an asshat with rust? We definitely need rust in this equation.
Krav is widely taught to armed/special forces and law enforcement, who absolutely need a style that works in the "real world."

Law enforcement have very little need for street fighting. If things are getting physical, the job is usually to detain a suspect as safely as possible. It's unlikely that the rules of engagement will allow causing the suspect severe harm or death, and if a LEO really is in that kind of situation, their priority is probably going to be disengaging and either transitioning to a weapon or deploying some sort of protective and restraint gear as quickly as possible.

Additionally, Krav has no competitive/tournament side to it, unlike most other martial arts.

The trouble with all martial arts that don't have any focus on competitive training is that you can never be sure they actually work unless you're in the rare position of having to use them for real and finding out the hard way. If you have ever been in that position then you have my greatest sympathy because the result is usually horrible whether or not you "win".
It means the browser is in control of the header, and not some script. From https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8942 :

Authors of new Client Hints are advised to carefully consider whether
they need to be able to be added by client-side content (e.g.,
scripts) or whether the Client Hints need to be exclusively set by
the user agent. In the latter case, the Sec- prefix on the header
field name has the effect of preventing scripts and other application
content from setting them in user agents. Using the "Sec-" prefix
signals to servers that the user agent -- and not application content
-- generated the values. See [FETCH] for more information.

As near as I can tell, the bit they're talking about in the Fetch standard is just this:

These are forbidden so the user agent remains in full control over them.
Names starting with `Sec-` are reserved to allow new headers to be minted
that are safe from APIs using fetch that allow control over headers by
developers, such as XMLHttpRequest.
However, some artists change names. Famously Prince, became "The artist formerly known as Prince" and then Prince again, but appears to only exist on iTunes/Apple Music as Prince.

The B-52's have been both "B-52's," and "The B-52's."

Prince made his name change as an artistic protest in the years before search engines. Apple is trying to encourage discoverability. Different incentives in different times. People are messy.
Why wouldn't service providers want to offer long polling? It seems a lot easier to build (no webhook registration backend) and no retry logic/SLAs outside of your control. SSE seems so much simpler.

Are you hijacking the topic to rehash the well-known tirade about energy usage? The article says less mining being concentrated in China means more decentralization (which is "good" as far as the philosophy of cryptocurrencies goes)

Also, just a reminder that not all crypto is PoW. Nano, for example, claims to be extremely energy efficient.

How about they reach lvl 4/5 performance and then they can turn off the lidar then. Because right now, the car is steering into plain view obstacles. That's what they need to worry about, not whether stopping the crashes now goes against their lvl 4 philosophy.
If you're vaccinated, it's rare to get it. If you get it, it's likely to be mild or completely asymptomatic.

Basically no one who's been vaccinated has died.
If there are any of Bellingcat's claims that you think are wrong, why don't you mention them? You began this thread by just blindly saying they're "not at all to be trusted" based on some article on a sketchy website.
The problem is Delta seems to have much bigger R so you are basically forced to act now as each hour counts. An alternative would be restrictions for everybody - and this would be a much worse choice for a variety of reasons.
This only works if you are on an Apple ID that has had the old version of the app installed at any point in time, sadly. I don't have access to my old Apple IDs anymore, so I can't install any old apps.
I clicked the article expecting some floridaman type story full of shenanigans and aggravating circumstances but nope, he just had some contractors over to do work and had some people over to buy stuff via classifieds. The latter doesn't even require them to come into your house or get within any appreciable distance of you. I get that a former penal colony probably has inherited expansive judicial discretion enabling the judge to dish out this kind of sentence (and judges tend not to take thumbing one's nose at state authority very well) but it's not like he threw a party or invited his buddies over for dinner or something, heck, there's not even a mention of this guy having a prior record. Any aggravating factor I could see leading to this kind of sentence (like getting in a fight with the arresting officers and the majority of the time being for that violation) is simply absent.
Interesting read. This post seems to be written by Adam Gordon Bell who is also the host of the excellect CoRecursive podcast. Recently featured at HN in The Untold Story of SQLite [0].

Why would anyone compare electric consumption of a country with digital currency? That is the most ridiculous comparison I've ever seen. In terms of reaching, this reaching to mars and possibly beyond. Lets compare energy consumption of bitcoin with online banking. That's at least in the same neighborhood. A country contributions to mankind include infrastructure, manufacturing, mining, powering hospitals, airports, schools, sewage system, trains, telecommunication, research labs, libraries, warehouses, ..... list goes on. What does bitcoin does? nothing. There is no comparison.
Popular among nazis maybe.
“Allowing the states to sell their dairy into Canada would be cheaper, but their regulations on what you can put into milk and dairy (antibiotics, hormones) are much more lax than Canadian standards.”

Fine, then don’t allow importation of milk with those additives.

What exactly is the market reason for keeping out, say, organic US dairy?

(Oh, right, Quebec lobbyists.)
"Perhaps more interesting, though, is that for the last couple of years AWS has supported tunneling the SSH protocol over their SSM APIs if you use the SSM “document” called AWS-StartSSHSession."

That's interesting. I know some places go to great lengths to keep developers from accessing production without some sort of break-glass procedure through a jump host. I'm curious if they all know about this sort of loophole.
No. Cuba trades with China, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Why not both? The CCP has strong state censorship on all native platforms. If they allowed Reddit or Google, that would allow their populace to access unmoderated (from their point of view) platforms, which is not acceptable. They allow expression, just with more and stricter limits than in the west.
I'm opposed to people guilt tripping me by saying I'll be responsible for spreading deadly diseases and killing old people because I want to wait for more more long term studies to be done on the vaccines before injecting them into my otherwise healthy body.

Not to mention, I can still spread the disease anyway if I have the Pfizer or similar vaccine.
One thing to consider is what you really mean when you say music metadata, because you didn't mention where you want to use or store this metadata. Are you talking about released music, or simply information about the work? Publishing info? And so on.

I dislike inflation because it means any money I have in the bank becomes worth less and less, forcing me to take risks and invest instead which I'd like to avoid.
That's impressive! A million tps.
Great post. I almost did a spit take when I read:

> Timsort overcomes this disadvantage by being written in C rather than Python.

Yeah, Python is SLOW. Thankfully the author dug into C. That was nice to see.

Edit: lol I have no idea why this is being downvoted. Y’all weird.

It seems like the built in heapq.merge() should be as fast as the implementation here. I mean if it's really just merging sorted lists, why wouldn't it be as fast as this implementation?

edit: Okay one reason is that heapq.merge is written in python:

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/6252670732c68420c2a8b...

It might also be since the python version has more options (like arbitrarily many iterables), but I presume it's the fact that the extension is written in C.

While one of the intended uses was P2P cash, which is not very practical due to high fees, it is indeed successful as a long-term store of value.

If you ignore the stomach-churning 80% drawdowns and instead look at the long-term average, there's a power law that explains the price quite well:

I'm not really sure I'd recommend ID3. It's the worst of both worlds: constrained by the limitations of the de facto storage mechanisms and overly prescribed and frankly ignored by a lot of software, bar the main fields.
The article misses the point. Bitcoin mining in China was a legal way to get money out of the country. Buy a share in a mining pool in yuan, get Bitcoin delivered, sell it in Hong Kong or elsewhere, get dollars or yuan. That was viewed as "manufacturing and exporting", which is legal, encouraged, and sometimes subsidized. That's what powered Bitcoin mining in China.

China has exchange controls. You can't just exchange yuan for dollars or euros. there's a limit of about US$50,000 per year per person, and even that is sometimes restricted. No other major country has exchange controls like that.

A big use case for Bitcoin just went away.

My 2010 BMW had $5,000.00 in repairs in the first year after the warranty expired. That doesn’t include the $15,000.00 in unnecessary repairs the dealership quoted me. In the four years since then repairs have been closer to $2,000.00 a year.

The electric water water pump alone was $2,000.00. $1,200.00 in parts and $800.00 in labor. This is basically a “maintenance” item. The car has less than 100k miles and is on the third pump.

This is quite an ambitious claim. Certainly the GitHub TOS grants them some common-sense ability to copy the code you upload so that they can usefully host it. Can you point to the portion that allows them to use it for Copilot?

Because I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Section D4:

> This license does not grant GitHub the right to sell Your Content. It also does not grant GitHub the right to otherwise distribute or use Your Content outside of our provision of the Service...
So if I understand everything correctly effect systems are another way of encoding side effects into the type system? If so, why are they preferable to monads? That's the part I don't understand. For the strictness, I think now most people agree that a bit of lazyness is great when you need it (iterators, streams) but the vast majority of the language should be indeed strict.

> Maybe it'll even be named OCaml if the efforts to bring effect typing into it are eventually merged :-).

From what I read recently that's the plan, although they'll focus first on domains for 5.0, and merge the effects later.
> I suspect there is some other relevant factor that you are not telling us.

Not necessarily, My MS Ad account I created for a product in my previous startup was not approved because I didn't enable international payments on my debit card(India) and it was declined 'once'. No second attempts, No means to add another card. Support just said 'Sorry we cannot enable your account'.

The product eventually got selected for acceleration by a FAANG company and did well. So it's MS loss that it failed to earn some money from me, But I understand that this could be fatal for a small business relying on these Internet custodians and they making flawed arbitrary decisions.
As sibling comment says the checks are a scheduled task. And it's opt-in so don't worry. You aren't forced to it.
That's true for every vaccine against any disease. There is always a chance that the vaccine could fail or wear off for a variety of reasons. Historically this usually happens at a very low rate, but occasionally the probability of failure becomes large enough to recommend booster shots.

A major source of problems in vaccine-relate discussions is using binary language. Immunity is not a binary true/false state! Vaccines do not change a Boolean state, they greatly reduce the probability of getting the disease.
Actual comic books peaked in the 90s maybe.

They never fully broke into mainstream culture, but in their niche they were big and certainly accepted.

Now those characters and stories live on in "comic book movies". Less employed people than me can debate to what extent that is the same thing :)

Maybe. That also depends on if demand is there to increase the price also. I can have a one of a kind piece of art work. Yet because it looks like something I scratched out on a napkin a few mins ago (I did) it is still not worth much. As there is low demand.

Assets like this can do that. Where the demand is there just because everyone else is demanding it (oil had this a few years ago). But if that demand collapses so will the price.

I think the alg has a built in rate limiter too to pick up the slack. That limiter can go up or down too. Keeping new supply coming in at a particular rate.

Overall though bitcoin looks like a deflationary style monetary system. So speculation will be more common too.
I'm guessing they were referring to "Scalability! But at what COST?"
