Money printing is mostly tied to audited real-estate. You can't just get a license and start printing money out of thin air. In the US, this can be done by companies other than banks (ie: mortgage companies). The big banks, nowadays, are liquidity traders. The smaller/community banks are a service provider. A real "bank" no longer exists.
The DFAM is a boring, conservative design to begin with. Not like synths need to be interesting anyway.

Eurorack and semi-modular stuff is getting more and more popular these days. If you design another semi-modular sound module out of a slightly different combination of the same underlying modules we’ve had since the the 1960s, you’re not innovating.

DFAM is kinda cool in that, if you like that sound, you can get it for a bit less money than it costs to buy the individual modules in Eurorack form. Or maybe you like normalled signal paths. But I can’t see why Behringer should be ashamed of copying it. There’s just not much substance to copy.
All of these descriptions are gorgeous! They are really great starting points for inquiry and meditation. Things you may or may not observe when meditating, looking at your own thoughts.

I've met plenty of people who rusj to judge that they think in a certain way, or that they prefer one mode of learning, or that they visualize instead of verbalize. All of those are valid perspectives and opinions. Some may be real, some may be imperfect descriptions, some may only be true at the time of speaking when the person is asked.

I'm loving this comment thread, thanks guys!
2 would be caused by covid. "People get covid induced pneumonia, but due to the overwhelming number of people in need of acute care, more than might normally do so die" is still "people dying due to covid"

1, 3 and 4 still happened in other parts of the world with even stricter lockdowns (Oceania, southeast Asia), but they didn't face the same excess mortality, so that doesn't fully explain things.

It's been maybe 10 years since I last used SVN so I don't remember exactly, but it was related to moving commits between trunk and maintenance/feature branches and back. I managed to mess up whole repository few times. It might have been my own ignorance though, I was a fresh junior at the time.

On the other hand with git I had less issues related to merging, after playing for couple of hour it just all made more sense.

> Expanding highways increases throughput almost everytime. Certainly, it rarely ends congestion. It often reduces congestion,

That turns out not to be the case. Road widening almost always worsens congestion. http://plazaperspective.com/road-widening/

People never complain about throughput. People complain about trip times, and road widening never helps that.
Except that commenters reasons don't actually explain the observed effects. If lockdown policies were the cause, we'd have seen increased excess mortality in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Southeast Asia correlated with lockdowns. As far as I know, we didn't.

You'd also expect some level of lag, a decrease in preventative care would lead to things like missed cancer, not immediate excess mortality, which is the observed effect.

What I've learned from your (very excellent) post — and this is what I suspected, really — is something you may not like: $200 an hour isn't enough... you're not charging enough. Sorry. And yes, my post was bait in hopes that I would metaphorically lure you out of your lair. Sorry for that too.

You've spent 2 decades building a reputation as "the best guy in the area", you're booked so solid that you don't bother taking new clients, and your rate doesn't reflect your reputation or productivity and your current retainer, including your own labor inputs, is hardly more (probably less) than a basic small-business managed hosting plan.

At $200/hr and your self-described productivity, you're not the "look what I can afford" provider, you're the value provider. Basically, you're doing your "basic", "non-templated" web code (which, oh by the way, includes your own hand-rolled infrastructure) for less than the cost of the template-nonsense that plucky entrepreneurial types are selling to small biz all over the place. (Again, you'd be amazed at what small businesses end up spending just in hosting. It's often as much or more.)

That's what it sounds like to me, anyway. And all this comes with a big fat disclaimer: you know infinitely more about your business than I.

P.S.

> I realized this when I found out my in-laws' tiny mortgage office was paying a database specialist $500/hr - back in 2006 - to come in once in awhile and work on their Salesforce installation, back when I was only charging $50/hr for full stack web work. To them, she walked on water.

Nice.
Maybe thinking of it as a separate experience is limiting how people make use of it.

I wonder if anyone has run remote team meetings or virtual classrooms in Minecraft as I imagine it would be a lot less fatiguing than Zoom style teleconferencing. The fact that in MC you can easily see where other players are looking adds a lot to the experience.
Theoretically, they can already do this with Substack Reader, though the feature isn't available yet. But it wouldn't surprise me if they had it coded up and ready to go already.
Thanks for this thoughtful reply. I should probably not have commented on frequency of meth prescriptions, my only reference point is that it's never been brought up to me by my doctor and don't know any friends who take it for ADHD.

Regarding withdrawal symptoms, it's again anecdotal on my end. I have been taking prescribed adderall for ADD since I was a teen. When I do go off it for a prolonged period of time, I don't notice withdrawal so much as a mood shift and a decline in productivity. I'm more or less comfortable being lethargic and lazy when I'm off it, but I take it because I think it makes me better at being a person (ability to focus for one, but also just taking the time to do menial but important every-day tasks I might otherwise let go by the wayside, for example).

I think this speaks to your point though, that in correct dosages the withdrawal in (pharmaceutical grade) drugs can be safely mitigated.

On a slight tangent, I'd like to point to the ongoing opioid crisis. I wonder if the reason it occurred was not only because doctors made the drug readily available, but because so many people were told by their doctor--a generally trusted authority--to take larger doses? If it were only accessibility that led to the crisis, there may be some truth to the idea that some drugs are true public health hazards.

Apologies for rambling a bit, I'm somewhat on the fence about this topic, and I know this is a complicated issue to unravel.
I see. To contextualize my observation, it is my experience with Galaxy S7 and S9.

That's why I love HN. Most conversations would have people like him chiming in and giving their views. We should all feel privileged that this forum exists.
I agree. There is a more general point that we underestimate that human persons are to a very large extent informational creatures. It's not just young people, look how everyone and their grandma embraced technology once it became easy to use. The world is increasingly informational, people become increasingly rootless and travel and the economy is turning to a vending machine where ubiquitous services deliver most of the things a person needs anywhere in the world. In this world, digital personas and digital property are more permanent than physical possessions. So i expect more of the economy to move to digital assets over time. Zuck is probably realizing that there the opportunity offered from pseudonymous avatars is bigger than the current one which depends on very public, "real names" communications. I think he is right, but i think he is wrong about how much of it he can control.

Thank you for your interest. I don't have a public blog or vlog. When I reverse engineer a game, I sometimes post my findings in forums dedicated to the specific platform the game was runninng on. But I don't want to link those here due to privacy reasons (I don't want that the accounts that I used there can be connected to the account I am using here).

But I am currently planning to write a longer and more detailed article about a game I have reverse engineered. I will send you a mail when it is available.
Do you have a link to a bug report? I tried digging around a bit as I got curious how bugs like these would manifest, but could not find anything good to link. What I am aware of is that Java application can break without workarounds (saw it in the documentation somewhere) and that Steam needs an explicit workaround [1].

What is "will media"?

I was referring to one very large beach party I heard about, a year ago or so. I wouldn't say outrage, just mild frustration, enough to mention it once then forget about it. I haven't seen any covid-related rage or even anger in real life. Not sure where is this rage you're talking about. Everyone I've seen—friends, acquaintances, strangers in the street—seems extremely relaxed and patient about the situation.

I'm not sure what you're insinuating—that there's a conspiracy to manipulate people into accepting a lockdown when they shouldn't? Or something.
Yes, power cuts and load-shedding are frequent, but not so much that it'd be an object of surprise for Indians abroad. Everyone is aware that electricity is something that's supposed to be on 24/7 even though it often isn't. You seemed to imply Indians are so starved for continuous electricity it will astound them if they actually witness it.
The point I was trying to make, so I assume the person you replied to see it the same. Is that no one else really attempts to explain the context around the assertion. Everyone previous is happy to blame people who are winning the game, labeling anyone who's not losing as a cheater. No one else is willing to explain why or how they're cheating. Which, if you don't know all the rules, and exploits looks like complaining not about the exploitation, but about even playing. So a fair interpretation is that every game must be cheating. It's not disingenuous to not already know the ways people try to control others to make some money. It's disingenuous to pretend like you've already made a point you haven't.

I hesitated on sharing the same sentiment on first pass, but this really is a skewed example even accounting for survivorship bias; he was an established journalist whose major stories were written by compiling leaks and tips from disgruntled employees. This is reinforced by his statement that his readers didn't like the interviews. 'Why' is an exercise left to the reader, but I inferred that the gossip and scoops are more salacious than the PR-vetted messaging.

In general, wayland does not implicitly have a distinction between server and window manager. There is a server and there are clients. The server gets to decide where a particular client's windows are rendered. Wayland itself is just a spec of the protocol that the client and server use to talk to each other - the format of the messages, and a few documents that describe various such messages. What the server does is basically completely arbitrary.

I don't know about GNOME and KDE's wayland servers, but with sway and river and cage the server is a single process that does the job of both server and window manager. It doesn't mean everyone has to write the equivalent of an X server, ie code that interacts with OpenGL and the kernel interfaces, themselves - there is a popular library called wlroots that can be used for that.

I don't think it's impossible that someone wraps wlroots into a standalone "server" binary that then has its own protocol for talking to an arbitrary "window manager" binary at runtime. ie do the equivalent of what wlroots does with function calls and callbacks at compile time but at runtime via IPC. But I don't know anyone who's doing such a thing.
The thing is, this was tried already with VRML in the 90s. And that totally flopped, because as it turns out, people would rather not deal with the clunkiness of excess skeuomorphism when they can instead just type in a text box or click on a button. Perhaps actual VR headsets could ease the pain of that, but it would have to be incredibly good for it to be a preferable alternative to just directly producing/consuming the relevant data via text messages, video chats, etc.

On that note, I feel that Microsoft has a better approach here of just "Teams but in VR", a nice simple scope compared to trying to reinvent the entire internet.
It could be done, but like bezier curves, bezier splines and nurbs can be self-intersecting, which makes finding intersection points non-trivial. Representing objects with surfaces is called BREP (Boundary REPresentation), but CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) is much easier when you are representing shapes with solids. In fact, typically csg on vertexes is done by treating each vertex as half-solid (one side of space is solid, other is not) and then combining them into single solid. When your dividing shape can self-intersect you can have two independent solids which wreaks havoc on equations. Some newer CSG systems use signed distance functions now, which represent 3d shapes mathematically and for many cases it works wonderfully without nurbs.
Fundamentally, it comes down to the "human REPL". To a surprising and perhaps unsettling degree, no one really understands what's going on in the computer, we just have to infer what's going on by making changes and observing. So the human being is sitting at his computer making changes and refreshing to see what's changed, and he can only see lag and performance issues that are apparent on his machine. Everything else (not UI) is invisible to him. If the computer did computation instantly, there would be no real way for him to know (much less incentive to know) the performance or purely "mechanical" difference between, say, subtracting 1 by counting down 1 and subtracting 1 but counting up from 0 until the "next" number is equal to the "current" number. Weird concept, huh?

P.S. I've just replied to your very excellent post from 6 days ago.
The possibility to ssh in an emergency is also a possibility ssh in when it's not an emergency and "just quickly change this one thing".

And then the server gets deployed via the script and the quick change isn't there any more.

Whoops.

My EC2 instances are all configured so that they can't be accessed from the outside. They boot up, fetch their install script from a set location and run it.

If they need changes, I either update the base image or the install script.

Hexagonal architecture helps much more than SOLID helps.
Applying hexagonal results in SOLID code with much less burden. Why?
Because SOLID is all about the S and the S is much easier to grasp in hexagonal then it is in theory.
Moreover how can one achieve the S but not the OLID? How can one achoive the O without the LID? It probably takes a lot of effort but they are all very imterconnected.
That’s what pretty much every government does. Some are just better at hiding or astroturfing.
> Xorg is on life support, it has been getting bug fixes and nothing else for the past several years.

Imagine two cars: X11 its an old one, it doesn't quite start right, the windows are chipped, the paint is peeling of and no one really wants to invest money into maintaining it, it defaults to brakes and a steering wheel from 1980 but has seen continous upgrades over time and you can generally swap in a steering wheel from 2010 with minor problems.

Now imagine wayland, a brand new tesla, it doesn't have brakes or a steering wheel because history has shown that these concepts evolve and if anything it should be a third party provider that creates them. Who cares that it took ten years between the release of the car as ready for use and the first compatible steering wheel implementation? Who cares that getting it to run on half of the roads (NVIDIA) is still not a solved problem because they stripped out any abstraction.

> From reading the sibling comment, if BSD guys want to keep using Xorg, they'll probably have to maintain it themselves.

As opposed to wayland which pushed 90% of features on the KDE/GOME/etc. guys (to be reimplemented in dozens of incompatible APIs). Of course the people who wrote wayland also wrote X11 so removing themselves from the equation might have been the nicest thing they ever did, given their own opinion of their past work on X11.

I was quite interested by this article. Raising $60 million so fast for such a margin-brutal high logistics complexity business when the founders are literally straight out of high school is either very promising or very bad.

I.e this is either a massive case of FOMO investing or these founders have articulated a really novel approach that’s going to give them an edge beyond the big raises.

The Airbnb for Kirana stores explanation downthread is maybe compelling. Almost like the 10 minute delivery is a byproduct of their approach rather than an insane logistics system they’ll need to build from scratch.

From my experience you need to play a small political game, no way around it, what you want to do costs money and presents risk. If you believe it is necessary you need to find supporters in the management floor. Convince someone who can actually give you backup and help you get this done. If you can't find anyone like that, then either work on the project underground (risky, more work and less credit for you) or let it go (or leave).
