Uh... can this be abused to backup CCTV footage from a old DVR ? The data would be at once just 1 tb but the CCTV reuses the space so its 1tb each month. I know it would be ethically "bad" but if I had to do it, maybe set up a cron to push data from DVR to a PC which then uses backblaze software to backup and keep old files?
I use [Infinitey](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ml.docilealligator.infinityf...) which is FOSS. It's not perfect, but it has tons of features and settings. The maintainer is also very responsive and appreciates bug reports.
This seems unethical to me, you essentially make other people work for you. All the returns from your investments are created by someone who probably does not have the luxury of retiring early, someone who now not only has to work for their life but also for yours.
I figured I'd do it that way since I already have the device and minimize e-waste.
The classic "hello world" for visual programming languages tends to be a Fahrenheit to Celsius converter. Not only is this example a very simple calculation, it happens to be a reversible, total function, which can often (unintentionally?) imply a degree of flexibility and interactivity which does not generalize to stateful or non-reversible programs.
^^^ Underrated comment. There really is no substitute here for hands on experience.

I got back into making music during the pandemic, partly as a deliberate choice where I turned my formerly chaotic and cluttered office/music room into something actually usable, but also through watching a lot of YouTube videos, researching, listening, and looking for a synth to buy.

The key is to get something with all physical controls so you get that immediacy of feedback in terms of the sound changing. You can hear the effect of switching between different wave forms, playing with the pulse width, maybe using an LFO to modulate pulse width, applying a filter and so on. Avoid anything that involves menu diving or relies heavily on a touch screen where you're not getting realtime feedback.

Analogue synthesis is super-popular at the moment so bargains are hard to come by - you are not going to get a used Prophet of any era for a couple of hundred quid, and basically forget anything vintage - but you can get some really good synths for not that much money, particular if you go the monosynth route. The Arturia MicroBrute is great, for example. They're about £260 new and I've seen them for £160 - 200 used on Reverb and eBay. If you're happy to spend a bit more, something like the Behringer Deepmind 6 packs a lot of punch for about £400, and the Deepmind 12 is available for around £600. (Behringer had a sketchy reputation for quality but their synth division seems to absolutely nail it - I have a TD-3, which is a clone of the original Roland TB-303, that costs about £100 new as opposed to £3-4000 for an OG 303 on the used market. Sounds spot on. Couldn't be happier.)

I'd also recommend easing yourself into it. One day I'll get into modular (it's inevitable) but I'm not there yet, and it would have been a mistake to start there as it would have been a bit overwhelming for me. You might be different but I'd say get something that, again, gives you results and immediacy - something that you can tinker around and learn and have fun with, and then take that knowledge and use it with other synths.

Sorry, not really a tutorial, but there are plenty on YouTube, which will help, but what you really needs is hands on time with synths, and lots of it. Try programming patches that you've heard on different tracks you like from scratch. For example, I really felt like I was getting somewhere when I managed to program a decently credible Tom Sawyer bass patch with a really dirty vintage-ised filter sweep. It's one of the few events during the last lockdown that brought me some proper joy.

And that's really the final piece of advice: have fun and don't be afraid to experiment. You will probably create some really awful sounds, along with some really interesting ones, but just embrace it all as part of the journey.
You'd think that after having been the recipient of the Digg exodus when that site tried the same thing, but I guess memories are short and that was 10 years ago already.
A comment like this is privilege in a nutshell.

Money to a certain point essentially buys the ability to be free and happy, and that’s why most people are “in the grind” so-to-speak. Being able to even think about making the mindset shift you describe is impossible for most people in the country let alone the world.

The lifestyle you describe is out of reach for the median American making $40-60k a year with a modest amount of credit card debt and kids to feed.

I have to wonder how you pay for your shelter, food, and health insurance? Is that from your unicorn startup money, or is that from your income from building dams?

For most Americans, quitting their corporate job means spending something like 2-4x more for healthcare. It means exhausting a very short financial runway.

Most Americans are one or two serious medical emergencies away from full blown bankruptcy.

That’s the irony here: folks advocating for exotic life experiences like this don’t seem to realize that the bulk of the world isn’t living life in a materialistic and career-focused way by choice. We’ve all just got bills to pay and want to be able to afford to go to the doctor or get our kids education or buy gas to get to Grandma’s house.

If you throw me a modest $5 million lump sum I’ll join you on your shift in mindset. But until then, sorry, I’ve got to get back to work.
> That's exactly why I said, "at least not any more unrealistic than any more traditional life plans".

And you're still wrong. Retiring early renders your financial situation much more fragile and susceptible to disruptive events. Sure, you can go bankrupt due to divorce or illness even when employed, but it's much more probable when you don't have an income stream and when your financial planning depends on not breaking up or not getting ill.

> gloating about how the author's plan failed, without looking at how plans that fit your worldview don't account for the same life events any better.

You're making a lot of unwarranted assumptions about my "worldview" and about how I'm "gloating" over the author's misfortune. Don't.
I've actually wrestled with this exact analogy as a way to measure the risks myself. There are options for car accidents - a "vaccine" you can take as it were. Wear a seatbelt. I think it's a good analogy. Some people don't like to wear them, but in general those that do are at lower risk and accept the remaining risk that they hurt or maim themselves or others - even children and elderly. Those that don't are at higher risk. The question I wrestle with is if vaccines are the seatbelt or masks or both.

In the end, that's what all the drama is: how we measure risk vs reward (perceived or actual) and handle it as individuals or society. Since this is a new and evolving risk, we struggle to put it into place relative to other "known" risks like traffic accidents, smoking, unhealthy eating, etc.
The best/fastest performers usually get rewarded with... more work.

Something I've seen more and more often is that a lot of developers take a lot of time for every ticket. Much more time than I'd take, but I suppose it's because they are not incentivized to work fast, they'll still get paid the same no matter how many tickets they close. But I don't think paying more if you close more tickets is the solution, I don't have any solution, really.
Maybe on mouse over or something like that.
Ultimately it’s the insurer’s product. They should verify everything, especially if they’re allowing third parties to input policies. They can easily flag outliers.
I appreciate that because it is the kind of thing I might say.

But I am not that committed. At least yet.

I try to avoid starting by shopping when I can. This seems like one of those. A browser is probably enough to gauge the stickiness of my current interests and avoids figuring about where to put “the damn thing.”

Or to put it another way, I give this kind of interest time. It might have been awesome to have lived circumstances that encouraged my interest of forty five years ago. But I don’t let that put me on a rush.

I've been like that in my natural setting, meaning whole childhood and well into maturity. Meaning even mostly cool stuff in school was hated with passion, took me quite some time to find my way back to it (ie biology, geography, chemistry, native language).

Its a stupid emotional knee-jerk reaction. Happy to got over it over time. Maybe those potential benefits only manifest on large-enough scale of population, don't know and don't want to try.

Science, on the other hand, has practically never failed me (since I also understand probability and downsides).

The problem these days, from my perspective, large enough population was lured into 'alt-science' which is not science at all. It works on emotional level, so no rational argument will persuade them, in contrary. That's a dark path to take, and the longer one goes on it, the harder is to ever get back.

There is no benefit to civilization that I can see, I hope to change my mind on this over time. Just a potential rift across most of the world (maybe apart from places like China, which benefits greatly from the self-inflicted mess western countries are in).

That may be the least of our worries. In the wealthy countries that now have universal access to free vaccines, we're seeing large populations that can't crack 50% of people vaccinated. So, even if we had an infinite supply of vaccines we could beam down from space to anyone on the planet who wanted it, we'd still run into the problem of too many people not wanting it.
There are many countries with many different jurisdictions and drug safety requirements, and not all vaccines passed all jurisdictions’ rules.

Also, I’m no lawyer, but I would expect an act of negligence — as compared to “risks inherent in bringing forward new products to prevent severe cases of a virulent disease with known severe side effects in a significant minority of those not killed by it” — is already frowned upon by the law, and criminal misconduct already comes with prison time?

Even in the most pessimistic assumptions of vaccine safety, the disease is much worse than the cure, and yet I don’t believe anyone is seriously suggesting D Trump or B Johnson goes to The Hague for an unfriendly chat about Crimes Against Humanity.
I'd wager a very small percentage of the moviegoers have ever even seen a comic featuring their favorite movie superheroes, much less picked one up and read it.
Timezones are not automatically handled by lnav at the moment, which isn't great. Timestamps are parsed and treated as UTC internally, which usually works out fine. You can manually adjust all of the timestamps for a file using the ":adjust-log-time" command:

https://docs.lnav.org/en/latest/commands.html#adjust-log-tim...

That can be useful for doing minor alignments if clocks are slightly out of sync or doing timezone adjustments.

You can also adjust the time programmatically by updating the "time_offset" column in the "lnav_file" table:

Sorry I don't have any examples written up to illustrate this at the moment...
Much, much bigger JS engine/sandbox, probably. Backwards compat with an ever-growing set of HTML, CSS, and JS. I'd guess a modern CSS engine is several times (dozens of times?) larger than what Phoenix shipped with. I expect their internal UI-drawing code/framework is a lot larger than in the Phoenix days. Webassembly. Canvas. And yeah, several of the other things you mentioned—video used to be the responsibility of plugins, for example.

[EDIT] in fact, some things browsers do now were seen as terrible ideas when Phoenix was released, because they would kill performance, since they're so much more expensive than alternatives. Vector graphics were regarded as to-be-avoided for a long time, because they're so much more taxing on the client than raster. CSS doing animations would have been considered insane, fit only for "look how I can bring your machine to a crawl with a web page" demos. Maintaining an entire "shadow DOM" of Javascript objects would have been regarded as parody-levels of resource wasting for all but very niche use-cases. No wonder the modern web is so slow and resource-hungry....
There is such a thing - a digital metadata standard called DDEX [0]. I worked in streaming classical music for a while (engineering/ops) and we had 100,000s of large XML files to parse. They arrived with digital audio files and contained useful checksum data inside.

All of the information regarding licensing, streaming rights, composer, movement, and almost every piece of data regarding a song/work was included.

I agree that their programming is extremely draining when done non-stop. I can't do it 8 hours a day and I don't expect my team to do that either but I would like them to average 4 hours a day. In my experience if the rule is pair programming then the exception is working solo on simple or repetitive tasks that you've done before which works well.
> It's not so much that vaccination is iatrogenic, it's that when you have a sizable percent vaccinated, but a sizable percent not, you're kind of in this worst of all possible worlds from an evolutionary standpoint.

How is this any different from natural immunity? The immunity conferred by vaccines won't put any more selective pressure for escape mutations than natural immunity would. And the only alternative here is for no one to get vaccinated, and therefore letting the virus run rampant through the population indefinitely. You aren't wrong about a sizeable portion of the population not being immunized quick enough may possibly result in escape mutations. But the only possible alternative fixes none of those issues, while also leaving the entirety of the public at risk.
One question I hope some HNer can help me with, that I'm not seeing answered: How is _testing_ affected by these variants? This is relevant to me as I've had symptoms but tested negative with BinaxNow, and now have to decide on some activities.
Agreed. What Reddit provides is akin to what Medium tried to do for journalism/blogging and what PHPBB used to do for online forums: create a standardized, administratively curated platform for community engagement. The value it provides is the uniformity, not much more, and users will absolutely flee if they're treated too badly for too long.
> What percentage of men under 40 have had a cardiovascular event, specifically myocarditis, after taking the Phizer or Moderns shot?

https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/new-information-for-pare...

> Doing the math, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that for every million doses given, there have been 67 cases of heart inflammation in boys 12 to 17 (nine in girls of that age group), 56 in those aged 18 to 24 (six in girls), and 20 in males 25 to 29 (three in girls).

It's not exactly "under 40", but if you're in that 25-29 age group, it's 0.002%. If you're in that higher-risk 12-17s group, 0.0067%.

I'm fairly comfortable rounding that down to 0% for my personal risk evaluations, especially given "majority of cases have been mild".

Oh, yeah. That one had absurd numbers though:

125USD per GB. Compared to 14EUR per GB on this chart.

But I think you were on the right track, possibly most people have low-end plans so total revenue skews towards low end plans? But you can definitely get data much cheaper than 14EUR per GB.
People make conclusions based on tiny sample sizes when the results fit their biases.

Most studies are worthless due to small sample sizes and confounding variables, and most “conclusions” are based on cherry-picked outliers. The fact that it’s common to do this doesn’t make it responsible or correct.
I personally really like maintenance programming, but I wonder if I've been lucky. All the systems I've ever inherited, I've been able to make impactful changes to them such that they stopped being that one system that causes everyone production headaches. Even the systems that I couldn't make much changes with directly, I was able to isolate, and route other systems around them, such that new data stopped depending on the system. It took a lot of effort, and politicking, but I seem to find the exploration and the juggling to be far more satisfying than greenfield building.
I really like this idea but I'm not sure how to implement it. If Bob works twice as fast as Jim, does Bob get to go home at noon or does Jim have to work late?
> isn't all that great about implementing web standards in a timely manner.

It's not good at implementing standards in timely manner which Chrome implements before they're even standards (and then become standards when Google pushes them to become so). Interesting isn't it. That literally goes back to what I said.

Without Firefox and Safari, Google can declare anything it wants a standard and implement it LITERALLY yesterday.

Among standards Safari is slow to implement in "timely manner" is web pages connecting to USB devices, Bluetooth and a plethora of other nonsense which Google keeps pushing through because they want the web to be the application OS for everyone, and then slap ads on it.
That majority user might never visit the bookmarks again once bookmarked and would likely use Google to search for the website again. So Google has incentive to not improve bookmarking, Though I'm not claiming that's the case.

I do agree with the other comments that if there are some features which solves some real problems[1] even the majority users would use it.

Bookmarks can help solve some new age problems too, I recently found phished website of our Income Tax site as a top result in Google[2] and those using bookmark to visit such sites which we use once a year could have prevented from getting phished.

Good point - reminds me of a principle I recently heard someone espouse, "Disregard whatever promises a corporation/individual in power makes, and only pay attention to their legal constraints."

I think in Germany this is pretty standard (both turning organic waste into biogas and collecting biogas at sewage treatment facilities).

And tbh not treating organic waste as some form of resource should be considered a scandal these days, and the only valid discussion to be had should be how to use it (my bet would be that in the long term that will be chemicals and not energy). There is legitimately a lot of talk about the landuse issues of bioenergy, but using organic waste doesn't have any of those problems. It should be an absolute nobrainer.
I learned on HN long ago that planes usually have three sensors for critical systems so that if one is disagreeing but the other two agree, you still have a reasonable degree of certainty. Having a single sensor that seems to insist on steering toward obstacles doesn't seem great to me.
