Is it really killed? It is still produced but even more important it has evolved through CityPop to FutureFunk and even has touched a bit other genres. I you haven't yet, give it a try. There are many online radio stations that play both FutureFunk and Vaporwave.

As for the SynthWave (2.0 because the original SynthWave happened in very early 80s and I do not know why it is called that way since it is unrelated and I prfere to call it RetroWave) it is still produced. I suggest you try it, the more recent incarnations even have vocals which resemble a lot the US Pop Rock music of the mid 80s but in some songs you can even hear clearly the influence of ItaloDisco.

I really like both and they are very original and important parts of music history. Still carry in them the seeds of the very early 80s evolution in music aka "New Wave" but have completely different aesthetics (VaporWave is mid 90s nostalgia oriented).

If you search in discogs you can even find collections that fuse VaporWave/SynthWave/ItaloDisco and Funk to produce very ethereal music.

PS there also exists the very difference subgenre of SovietWave
Fascinating question!

If you asked me, I would ask what sort of dog? or which dog? If you said, "it doesn't matter", then I just get some random dog. It's a bit like a slideshow of dogs. If you asked me to describe it, then it would be some fantasy dog or I might zoom in on a dog that I actually know.

I have bits of what could be called photographic memory. In school I would "snap" pages of notes and then in the exam recall the page and "read" it for the information required. I never actually tested it to see how many pages I could save and recall like that. Probably less than a roll of film.

Will look at @r721's links. Very interested.

A man expecting windfall profits shocked to learn about taxes.
I've recently started worrying about a pile of books, but for an unrelated reason: they don't hold up well. Stacked on top of each other, the books above crush the spines of the books below. And more disturbingly, they get covered in dust and, if the humidity is high enough, mold.
Then they attract a small bug called book lice. They're reportedly harmless to humans, but it's awful to see something crawling across the pages of my textbooks.

My house is not a dump, but it's ground level and not temperature controlled. Somehow, the little critters reached my books stacked high on a ledge in the far corner of my room.

As soon as lumber prices go down, my plan is to build a sealed bookshelf and line it with silica packets. I'll have to toss my books into ziplocs and freeze them before loading the shelves. What a mess.
What makes you think the US government isn't investing in drones? Heck, just google "drone strikes"
I suppose in a sense Huxley and Herman/Chomsky were saying something similar. The horror of “Manufacturing Consent” was that the behaviour emerged from the system, rather than intentionally; I recall Herman and Chomsky writing something along the lines that “nobody wakes up in the morning and says ‘how am I going to make the world worse today?’”. The interplay of advertising, money and government simply make criticism of the government very expensive, and therefore much riskier, to produce. You can see this play out on a smaller scale if you ever make the mistake of saying something political on Facebook. Much easier to upvote baby photos and Jackass videos.

But entertainment, drugs and distraction are even cheaper to produce than apolitical news, and once we started to clamour for the creativity-free, trope-laden SFX trollop of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I suppose it was just a matter of time.

I'm unclear on the gap between the "notion" and the protests in France.

The Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fee_and_dividend) is kind of inconsistent - it says that a revenue neutral tax is a "conservative" idea, then it has more about a "universal climate income" under "social justice".

Widespread is not the same thing as generally accepted. I think I've been reading vaguely hostile stuff recently about carbon taxes from vaguely progressive sources, but I'm not sure why.

I'm wondering if progressives are against it because it's considered conservative.
There's also a Linux driver provided by the company for this model.

Are Linux drivers still a thing? Both our current and previous printers could be used without setting up any drivers through AirPrint. The new printer also scans without any drivers through AirPrint. I'd assume that Linux can also print driverless through AirPrint?

"Solopreneur" for 2 years now: in quotation marks as I have kept my job on the side, effectively not working full-time on it.

Prior to covid times, I would usually work 4 to 8 hours every weekend, with longer stretches of time during vacation).
The week days would be my full-time job only.

During covid times I was able to claim back some of the commuting time (just like many of us on HN, I was lucky to be able to work from home, and double lucky to have a designated home office) which allowed me to add roughly 1h every day.

As for now, I switched job and I am now working remotely – which allows me to keep the covid schedule: a couple of hours every week day (before starting working, I'm an early riser) and bigger chunks during the weekends.

Clojure does something very much like this using the with-redefs [0] form.

If you have a function like:

(defn send-mail [receiver-ids title text]
...)

You can mock it out in your tests like:

(with-redefs [send-mail (fn [r-ids title text]
(println r-ids title text))]
;; send-mail will just print
...)

this is just a fancy description for a basic rollout system.
Correct, the approval is not complete yet. I said that in my last comment.

But the testing is done on some. You can go read the results, or have an expert read them for you. For example: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577

Isn't that the better option anyway, if you don't trust the government?
We don't know because we don't keep proper statistics on people entering and leaving the country. The figures for net emigration last year are between 300,000 and 1.3 million but they are largely a guess.
Yes, but I'd argue that the path you took was a very suboptimal path to reach the same understanding since you almost surely didn't reach it. So now you'd have to redo almost everything in order to reach the same goal making it a very huge waste of time. Of course I cannot be sure of that, but I have seen so many people who learned the way you did and they had really poor understanding. In my experience only the people who try to challenge themselves actually gets there.

Passing math classes requires almost no understanding at all btw, even getting good grades in them doesn't.
There's some mindblowing stuff in this story

>[...] the end of the federal moratorium means evictions could begin Monday, leading to a years' worth of evictions over several weeks

...

> More than 15 million people live in households that owe as much as $20 billion to their landlords, according to the Aspen Institute. As of July 5, roughly 3.6 million people in the U.S. said they faced eviction in the next two months, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey.

...

> The crisis will only get worse in September when the first foreclosure proceedings are expected to begin. An estimated 1.75 million homeowners — roughly 3.5% of all homes — are in some sort of forbearance plan with their banks, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. By comparison, about 10 million homeowners lost their homes to foreclosure after the housing bubble burst in 2008.

> The Biden administration had hoped that historic amounts of rental assistance allocated by Congress in December and March would help avert an eviction crisis.

> But so far, only about $3 billion of the first tranche of $25 billion had been distributed through June by states and localities. Another $21.5 billion will go to the states. The speed of disbursement picked up in June, but some states like New York have distributed almost nothing. Several others have only approved a few million dollars.

...

> Studies have shown evicted families face a laundry list of health problems, from higher infant mortality rates to high blood pressure to suicide. And taxpayers often foot the bill, from providing social services, health care and homeless services. One study by the National Low Income Housing Coalition and Innovation for Justice Program at the University of Arizona found costs could reach $129 billion from pandemic-related evictions.

The TL;DR appears to be that the moratorium will not be extended long enough to allow states to distribute $25 billion dollars in rental assistance. A whole lot of people could end up homeless, which will be bad for them and society in general, and this could cost taxpayers up to 6x as much as the rental assistance program.

Way to go, government.
Decentralization and censorship resistance matter very much to the people who want bitcoin to succeed and become the native currency of the internet and the world, as does a nearly impossible to change monetary policy. Bitcoin has made very deliberate tradeoffs to ensure these properties.
PoS is just the same system we currently have, where the central banks and exchanges are the ones who profit off holding all the coins. If you're analyzing the technology by what can most efficiently keep track of 1s and 0s, obviously a blockchain isn't the answer, PoS included.
For creating a new money to remove the purse strings from the control of central bankers, of course the Tech matters.

If all you're saying is "shutting people out of the financial system will leave them with little choice but resorting to violence" then I probably agree with you.

The author's reference to the recent "stress test", though, and your mention of the existing "cracks at the seams", at least hinted at the position that past violence was attributable to past censorship. However, your comment didn't explicitly make that point, and the inference may only exist in my head, in which case please accept my apologies for associating you with that position.

> What is a moral argument?

I suppose what I meant was "an argument in support of a morally acceptable position". Perhaps the adjective doesn't juxtapose well with the noun, but I think there needs to be a way to condemn some arguments on moral grounds. For example, "You should commit that crime, because you'll never be caught" is not a (morally) good argument for committing a crime, even if it is factually true.
There are a whole slew of "advanced AI programs" out there that tells managers who to fire and who to keep, tells judges if someone should go to jail or not, etc.

There are a lot of systems out there where peoples lives are changed forever "because the machine said so".

I'd argue that since machine learning learns only from it's data (produced by it's human creator), it becomes a great tool for baking in unconcious biases in a completely opaque system and amplifying those biases.

Much easier to tell if a human seems to be biased than if the dataset fed to an AI algorithm is biased.

Yeah, I don't know about DDC via the Mac Min HDMI. Weird things are happening with that port.

Some users report it doesn't work at all, some say their monitor crashes when DDC is sent through the port. One user even had the weird issue where sending DDC through the USB-C port to his Thunderbolt monitor causes the message to also be sent to the monitor connected via HDMI.

I'm trying to find a solution but these seems more like bugs in Apple's implementations of the video driver and we'll have to wait for those to get fixed in Monterey.

Alcohol is absolutely an issue, all drug use is. I don't limit myself to 'some' chemicals. But I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, are you asking if I think drug use ought to be treated the same way, as an environmental and behavioral issue, rather than some individualistic moral guilt thing? Yes, absolutely.

It's a good example actually. We've done incredible damage by moralizing drug use rather than treating it as medical issue and instead promote quackery like AA which has horrible outcomes.

My interpretation was that the author meant "you (normally) write things like web requests in a synchronous (blocking) way". There are important differences though between that and what async/await (even this invisible version of it) does. It's also different from what Go does, in a similar way.

I think it is possible that many people who start new companies are also passionate about making a difference in a specific field and that is what pushes them to go through the trouble of starting a company from scratch.

The people who take over from them, on the other hand, are likely people who don't quite have the same level of passion and who see success purely in monetary terms.

On a side note: companies usually don't want to do the right thing. They want to be perceived as wanting to do the right thing, while going down the easiest route.

But the easiest route won't cover applying the changes needed for the tech industry to become a place that's not a misogynistic dumpster fire.

Calling out what's wrong and pressing companies to leave the easiest route and actually do something about it will help. And that's — by the way — not snitching. It's called criticism.

Because of how the microtask queue works, it can't optimize that out without introducing ordering issues. If you have two Promises, A and B, and each one has a callback that will then do another await, the implementation needs to interleave them, since microtasks are guaranteed to run in FIFO order. So a single await, even to resolve a constant expression, can't be omitted.

No, most people don't have access to casinos. Likely they would spend it on other luxury goods like bar visits, clothes they don't need or more games. Its just a way for games to extract more money from the market without providing any more value than before.

The thing with games is that the box price is extremely under what consumers value them, so selling consumers small bits of the game as micro transactions is the way games extract their actual market value. It doesn't deliver more value than before, but the current monetization better represents the value it delivers to consumers.
Fair enough. In practice I think it's wildly dangerous to make those kinds of assumptions about async task ordering, but I can understand that engine authors have to follow the spec and don't have the luxury of dodging the issue.
There are many things to hate about JavaScript but the inbuilt forced async nature is one thing I absolutely love about it. Thank god that except a few reminants like `alert` and `prompt` almost everything is async by default.

I remember that just until a few years ago the whole tabs and everything would freeze if a site showed a blocking alert popup. Can't imagine what it would do if other things like http req, dom operations, etc were also synchronous.

> With this flavor of Javascript you can no longer do two asynchronous tasks at the same time, everything will be executed synchronously.

The main pattern I use to dispatch multiple promises is resilient to this:

const [r1, r2, r3] = await Promise.all([
async () => { ... },
async () => { ... },
async () => { ... }
])
