Notice that the explosion of rap, hip-hop and punk were because the barrier to entry to music making through sampling and distribution was lowered. The 1980s and 1990s were replete with high profile artists that became famous by using the discarded drum machines and synthesizers of the time [0].

Today, (I believe) most artists use synthesizers and DAWs to create full albums. Eletronica, rap and hip-hop are some of the most popular musical genres [1] [2]. It's not uncommon to see artists that are just one or two people, enabled by a professional grade studio on a PC.

Yes, this is true, I'm making some assumptions based on their declaration of belief in a personal God.
Matter inside a black hole, by definition, can never leave the are of the black hole. The shape of space beyond the event horizon is simply such that there is no path outside.

And there is no 'something else' beyond matter, except energy, which is not a thing per se, but the potential for other things to move or happen.
We also should not forget the four years most recently where the sitting US president was claiming NATO/UN/ANZUS/other military defence pacts to be a farse because the US wasn't deriving an immediate and obvious dollar value from them. To the point where he made statements alluding to those other countries finding themselves without military support if they didn't pay the US for protection. He literally tried to apply a mob protection racket via insinuation over international politics and treaties.

Any sane nation considering their own self defence and sovereignty would be looking to bolster their own position instead of relying solely on that sort of unreliable and borderline abusive relationship.
In my opinion, this is the way forward. You cannot convince anyone that does frontend stuff to even try, or EVEN switch to this. We have to prove that this is a viable option, WASM is a viable way, WASM is actually more efficient etc. there are benchmarks and targeted studies... it just seems that browser vendors and devs haven't catched up yet
Sir Clive Sinclair, 1940-2021
I've built a few small form factor gaming PCs over the last 5 or so years. The heat produced is directly proportional to the power consumed.

If you're worried about your components overheating in a small case, there are absolutely ways to cram a ton of performance into a small package. You can fit top of the line gaming hardware in as little as 10-15 liters of case volume.

If you're worried about your PC becoming a space heater, you'll need to go with less power-hungry components, but you can still absolutely build a tiny and capable gaming PC.
In a reasonable OS, e.g., Debian, they are.
Do you have some example of this? Either an actual app that does this or some Youtube video or music sample that shows what you're talking about?
I wonder if it's an upgrade bug related to calibration?

There was a video by one Tesla user over the past week that talked about how their Tesla v10 FSD software would attempt to turn into driveways, repeatedly, when driving down a straight road.

The user did a recalibration of their cameras, rebooted the car, and the problem went away.

Windows might suck less with Linux, but Linux sucks more when run on Windows
>This doesn't need to last for long, perhaps just the first few weeks of instruction, but it should be present.

This assumes you're learning in an academic environment. I taught myself programming just because I wanted to make some video games. I've done very very well career wise. I will admit I do lack some fundamentals, but I can still get things done.

I'm absolutely unashamed to rely upon modern conveniences. Yes I need the strong type system C# provides for any bigger project. I practically need autocomplete, particularly with C# to get anything done.

If it's small I can hack it out in JavaScript. I still remember the three lines of code you need to stand up with NodeJS.

One of my friends needed a small app done last year, I was able to build it for him and flutter in about a month. In fact modern programming languages are so much easier, I reckon this friend if he put the time into it could have built his own application in a few months. The old guard of Computer Science tendsl to have a very strange gatekeeping to them.

Overall, I'd like programming to be less of a foreign thing to the general public. If you learn a little bit of python to reformat some old phone contacts you have, you're very much a programmer. Like not every single person with a driver's license can drive a big rig, not every programmer will be able to build their own operating system from scratch.

It's significantly different. The article attempts to build a reactivity model and directives handler (two integral parts of Vue), while this is a Virtual DOM, which is a different approach to declaratively representing UI.

I think you meant this article: https://zserge.com/posts/worst-react-ever/

In that case, it's pretty different in implementation
nobody seems to be mentioning the car rental monopoly that currently exists:

Okay this is fun.

Some thoughts:

* The volume ramps up a bit too quickly. In trying to blend hese, I don't think I've taken a single one above 10. Finer gradations in volume, if possible, would be great.

* It would be great to set some of the sounds to happen randomly or intermittently pop or fade in and out, and possibly at different intensities. E.g. if you're chilling in a coffee shop that's playing lo-fi beats while it's raining outside, there probably not going to be a constant wind, but occasional gusts, some stronger than others.
I’m a major contributor to a synbio software package https://github.com/TimothyStiles/poly and I also do quite a lot of robotics in the space (have a full DNA foundry running in my house, that took a lot of software).

The United States, United Kingdom, France, Slovakia, India, South Korea, and Finland all have new power reactors under construction. These are all democracies.
If they give electric cars four independent motors (one for each wheel) you can turn with a zero radius turning circle, like a tank. Would be useful for pulling into a tight driveway and then turning around.
The financial system is very efficient, and allows tuning and scaling to an extent never before possible. That allows folks to squeeze pennies or build leveraged business models that previously would have not been possible.

Which is great, when things fit the model (the stocks or bonds involved pay retirees longer, make people wealthier, etc), but also allow people to build much higher castles of cards than they previously could have before something toppled them over.

Panics, crashes, defaulting on debt, etc. have been around as long (and probably longer) than we have historical records, but wow does the modern system take the cake for scale!

Absolutely, but successfully enacting such measures would mean political violence, which is a whole different thing from traffic deaths, and even attempting it would probably lead to a wave of elections going toward the party promising not to do it (and likely to do a bunch of other things that are the governance equivalent of punching yourself in the face—god, our politics are dumb in this country). You think people get upset about any hint of gun regulation, look out if you go after big trucks. No-one's going to be crazy enough to try it, though yes, we definitely should take measures to drastically reduce the number of large personal vehicles on the road, in an ideal world.

Sad this is down voted, IIAOPSW has a great point.

We as a society pay a lot to support a car infrastructure. From crappy land usage for parking lots, which necessitates increased property taxes on everyone else, to land that could be used for housing/businesses instead being used for roads.

Add on top of that the number of injuries, and how much time we have to spend in cars because we live in a society designed around cars, personal vehicles are a huge dead weight cost.

I'm not saying everyone needs to give up their cars, but families having more cars than people is insane.
Free software doesn't require you to give a copy to anyone who asks. It just means that if you do give someone a copy, it needs to include the source code and certain legal rights. Presumably, the US isn't going to give copies of software for F18s or missile defense systems away like candy, so I don't see why this requirement would be a problem for those things.
Isn't is more of an existential issue?

If you're a rental company, looking at ~$0 income for the next year, and the need to pay for, maintain, and garage their car fleets, then you're top priority is to shore up the balance sheet and keep your corp afloat. What the car buyer's market will be in 18mo is a more distant concern.

Yes, your comment makes sense but...

The Neoverse E1 is a 2-wide decode core with SMT (wtf??).

The Neoverse N1 is a 4-wide decode core (1-thread per 1-core).

-------

You're right in that the N1 is narrower than Skylake / Zen. But N1 isn't too shabby: it has 8 execution pipelines: 1 branch, 3x 64-bit integer, 2x 128-bit vector, and 2 load/store.

Furthermore: the core that ARM decided to shove their SMT-effort into is the E1, which is probably 1/2 the size of a N1 (well, at least 1/2 sized decode).

You must not be from San Francisco where we've had more people die from fentanyl overdose that is encouraged on the street than "covid deaths". I put "covid deaths" in quote because as we all know those stats are being reported erroneously whereas you can be shot to death but if you had covid at the time it is reported as a covid death.

Regarding the earlier point though - I personally can't wait until Mayor Breed is wearing jumpsuit orange just like her boyfriend that was arrested by the FBI and her brother that is currently in prison.

You literally stated:

> have no problem keeping their power on in adverse weather.

It sure reads like other states have no problem keeping their power on and not other states sometimes do lose power as well but hey at least they're trying. And besides, hurricanes hit the East Coast pretty dang often and yet still hundreds of thousands of people will lose power. Sure sounds like they're not trying hard enough if they should have no problem keeping the power on.

Also, as someone who has lived in Texas for 30 years, this storm was absolutely not a ten year event. It may become one with the changing climate, but I have never experienced an ice storm quite as extreme. The major winter storm that happened ten years before was still not close to the one this year. For the one ten years prior, most pools didn't freeze over. Even with the pumps running on my pool, I had nearly an inch of ice form. I've never seen it get that cold in Texas.
I don't know man.... it actually seem rather smart to me.... Like the smartness of an organism trying to cope as well as it can with disruptions in the environment. What would you like to do it better without causing huge waste of resources? I am not sure there is much I can think of....
Supaplex did supplement their map with open data from the municipality though for the street outlines as far as I understand (I've asked), so it's not 100% OpenStreetMap data used there.

Totally awesome and inspiring nonetheless though.
I've addressed how I think it should be handled elsewhere in the thread. I'm just going to point out here that condescension — "Try to understand [that my model of the world is the correct one]" — doesn't help gain an audience for your opinion.
Have you considered imgix? It's like Cloudinary, but with flat pricing per # of origin images. Transformations and bandwidth don't cost extra. It's nice because you don't have to manage yet another stack, just plop in a URL and you're done.

It seems like Cloudflare wants you to predefine all the "variants" (transformations) as specific templates in their GUI, whereas Cloudinary and Imgix are much more flexible and accept specific URL parameters to create those transformations.

EDIT: Actually, Cloudflare supports that too (https://developers.cloudflare.com/image-resizing/url-format), it just wasn't mentioned in this blog post.
oof! these are bad and pretty mainstream. not contrarian at all. so i guess my contrarian opinion is that most ideas like this that are assumed contrarian by the idea-holder are actually widespread and mainstream. contrarians think they're contrarian yet they're generally generic.
I linked to the Wikipedia page as a starting point for those who do not know the song. It is not meant to be an endorsement of the explanation of the lyrics' meaning. Have a look at the edit history for that page, it is quite lively.

I think you are on to something though with respect to linking to Wikipedia, the time has probably come to stop linking to any potentially polarised/polarising page. I tend to link to Wikipedia out of habit and also laziness but it has lost whatever semblance of neutrality it had. Allmusic [1] has a page on the song but it it quite bland. Rolling Stone claims the song was originally called "Ice Age" and the lyrics are essentially a radio broadcast from a dystopian future that was easy to envision at that point in time [2] - which is the reason the current crop of panic porn reminds me of this track.

Process risks e.g. dropout rate (σ), error ratio (ε)
At the time the car was going to make a right hand turn, it looks like the pedestrian hadn't even stepped off the curb. I don't see the problem.
Updating and checking over and over is usually more about getting the ux right than making it work or fixing bugs. A tight feedback loop makes a huge difference when you're iterating on look and feel. If you have to wait 10 seconds and fill out a form or two to restore the full app state after each change, it becomes a nightmare and you'll likely just give up on making a good ux.

There are also lots of frontend bugs that aren't really bugs in the compiler sense, but just cause the user to see a slightly wrong or confusing thing for a given state. Tests can help, but for a UI with a lot going on, there are usually too many possible paths to write tests for them all, so doing a lot of QA as you go is hard to avoid.

Typescript offers a pretty good balance here since you can turn off typechecking for live reloading and instead check types in the background or as part of the test suite.

I think they'd need some serious lane marking around wherever they're going to come to surface (unless they somehow intend for these to surface vertically within a reception depot). I can imagine how "fun" it'd be to be in a teensy sailboat (like a sunfish) and have this thing surface under you - possibly chucking you into the sub's engine when you're thrown from the boat.

Well, to control things, you'd have to have a highway that's only for self-driving vehicles. And then you'd need to get them there - with what, human drivers? (losing the cost savings) Maybe you could use this for self-driving trucks between freight depots.

The problem with this is - why not just use trains at this point? Trains already an economical solution for point to point transportation.
This seems pretty tautological. What you watch will reflect your reccomendations because there is a causal relationship there, unless you never use youtube for discovery. I alledge that what people spend time watching is more heavily shaped by reccomendations than they are aware of.

My argument against this would be that a lot of the things you learn in a CS degree are really interesting and useful, but hard to force yourself to learn if you don't have to. The big one for me is the ability to do proofs in mathematics and theoretical CS, which translates rather well to hard programming problems. Without being tortured with it in college, I doubt I would have ever bridged that gap.

There is certainly a subset of people that do like to solve these problems, and don't like to go to university, but I would assume it is rather small.

The other thing, which is probably less true in countries where you have to pay for university, is that people who join the job market very early view everything in monetary values. My university buddies would do things just because it sounds interesting or hard or could make a positive difference in the world, while my friends who joined the labor market immediately after school are much more focused on their career development and salary.

Ask HN: How to Create “Boring” Software?
I started reading Learning Go by Jon Bodner, and in the preface, it introduces the idea of "boring code."

> When it comes to building things that last, being boring is great. No one wants to be the first person to drive their car over a bridge built with untested techniques that the engineer thought were cool. The modern world depends on software as much as it depends on bridges, perhaps more so. Yet many programming languages add features without thinking about their impact on the maintainability of the codebase. Go is intended for building programs that last, programs that are modified by dozens of developers over dozens of years.

I'm graduating soon and noticed on campus a sense of impatience. My peers are building projects with short lifespans to get into the industry, which works to get a job, but feels like starting a bad habit. "Boring" seems fundamental for long-lasting software.

How can I learn more about "boring" code? Perhaps even lessons from outside software, to create things that last?
Looks interesting. Also, you have a typo on your home page :

The word "became" should probably be "become."

I'll check out the software!
