"Intuitive for who" is a good question, and I hope the answer is "intuitive to the new/occasional user".

I've used a number of different DAWs, and the main challenge is that if I haven't made any music for several months, I don't really remember all the various maneuvers that a daily user would have in muscle memory. I end up having to re-learn everything, and experience extra special frustration along the lines of "I know there was a trick to moving this thing to that place, but I can't remember what it is".

Almost every time, it's hard to argue that the way the DAW does it "doesn't make sense"; it generally does make sense. But a lot of the time the maneuver is so different than the things one does in a non-DAW for basic clicking, editing, and dragging things around, that it gets frustrating having to re-learn it over and over again.
A Hopeful Pathway for Humanity
Yea, there's about 0% chance that PoW would fix anything. Much like how bitcoin miners run in javascripts these days, victims would have born the brunt of the computing expense.
A US newsoutlet reporting about the refugee crisis in Libya and not a word about Gadaffi. New York is really far from the Meditterenean.
I'm only familiar with Rust's async story, though I think the following probably applies to other languages as well.

Switching async tasks should have a smaller overhead than switching threads. A context switch involves giving control to the OS and then the OS giving it back at some point. Both involve lots of cache trashing, as you said, and both switches involve bookkeeping that the OS has to do. This probably also involves instruction-cache evictions.

Switching async tasks involves loading the new task from memory onto the stack. That's it. The program can immediately start doing useful work again.

So, the short answer is that switching threads involves:

- more cache evictions
- bigger, slower cache evictions
- OS-level bookkeeping for threads

Also creating threads involves setting up a new, expandable stack in the process's memory space. Creating a new task involves allocating a fixed amount of memory on the heap once.
What? The current admin spearheaded some 3-6T in spending bills presumably for “infrastructure”. It seems like all of the support is there.

The problem is that nobody gets political credit for improving existing systems. That money will instead be pissed away on other political gifts and novelties.
The post office does things that private carriers are unable to do: deliver a high volume of units to any valid address. FedEx pushes a fraction of the volume of USPS and is buckling under the strain of the current labor shortage[1]

The taxman is happy to collect their percentage on crypto capital gains so I’m not sure the value too hard to spot. It doesn’t matter if crypto isn’t really valuable in some cosmic sense.
On a decentralized exchange, users custody their own funds. So if a user gets hacked, it's not on the exchange. The only exception is liquidity providers, who give money to a contract.
tl;dr - when you break the immigration laws of a foreign country, you might end up in a prison cell and not all foreign prison cells are as comfortable as others. That doesn't excuse any mistreatment that may be occurring, but this is a risk you signed up for when you attempted to circumvent the rules.
I remember attending the Open Indiana ‘launch’ after Oracle dumped OpenSolaris. I loved both systems, they were actually nice for desktop use. I think these days the resources/interest just isn’t there. Would be great to wrong on this…
Did you see the other parts in the article about building their own containers and delivering to ports in Houston and Washington state?
I've been curious about decentralized exchanges. When you say they have a bad track record, can you share some examples? Uniswap is the one I know of, as far as I know it has a fine track record.
I think the term "people" is better. Neanderthals were clearly people, even if they were a different species.

The problem of classification is deeply philosophical. The core problem is that the taxonomic classification of anything is arbitrary, proven only by consensus.

So you're a fan of stack ranking, huh? I thought that was pretty widely discredited, and "truly innovative companies" know better by now.
Apple Glasses, if they ever come to fruition, would be a textbook play for Apple.

As with the iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and even ARM laptops, they weren’t the first in the market in terms of technology but they were the first to make a really great user experience. The HN crowd hates Apple’s closed ecosystem but when it comes to all of these products, the closed ecosystem was a selling point for the average unsavvy consumer.
Sending an email requires a data connection, which might not be available when the power goes out.

When there's a local power cut, most people switch to using cellular data, overloading the local backhaul. The same problem doesn't affect outbound SMS.
Ask HN: Fun video games for remote 15 person team bonding/fun?
I'm running a remote team. We did zoom happy hours/hang outs for a while and got bored from having unstructured and undirected hangout times. We replaced this with team "among us" games, which was very engaging and everyone enjoyed. Our team grew, and we outgrew among us (more than 15 people on the team now, larger among us games didn't work well) and I'm looking for some larger scale ~15 - 30 person games we can play together. Pretty open to any suggestions here.
I think it’s an external QA issue as we have to fix all the broken shit upstream.

90% of the stuff out there is garbage.
Uniswap governance just voted ~two weeks ago to deploy UniswapV3 to Polygon . I've never paid more than a penny for any Polygon fees so hopefully this along with wrapped version of coins will reduce my need for Ethereum. Other DeFi exchanges such as SushiSwap have already gone multi-chain to multiple chains as well. Mark Cuban recent talked about the BCT (Base Carbon Tonne) token which unless you mint yourself (via staking a real carbon credit in the real world) you must get via SushiSwap on Polygon at this time - I think he just invested another 50k into it

I will say one thing about Mark Cuban - he's deep into the DeFi/dApp world and seems to actually know his stuff on a deep level.
I did a bunch of security contract work for NASA and have worked in security capacities for other government and financial institutions. Honestly I think a lot of the migration to cloud providers is a form of mutiny against the ever increasing cost of running highly regulated workloads in your own data center. It’s nearly impossible to do anything in a reasonable amount of time when you’ve got layer upon layer of regulatory and internal audit oversight. It’s not just basic processes but governance around those processes and governance around the governance of those processes. It’s a nightmare.
The post office should be run efficiently. But I don’t require it to make a profit. It is a service, for our collective benefit. Just like the Army. I don’t expect the Army to make a profit.
Yeah knative too
> Treating anonymous email with normal suspicion pretty much solves the problems with email

I have a rule in Thunderbird that directs all email from senders not in my contacts list to a separate folder instead of the inbox.
> that ANY public service is not worth improving

The argument is specific to logistics. Our government has a poor track record in that domain outside the military.

Instead of doubling down on a concentrated bet, increasing competition would seem to be the solution. For example, the federal government could grant porting rights on its property, thereby breaking the Ports of LA & Long Beach’s monopoly.
Exactly. You don't need to be particularly inventive if you are sitting on a massive pile of money. Buy priority to stay in business? Sure. Lease a whole fleet of cargo planes? Put it on the tab.
Attack surface reduction? On a device with unencrypted storage, the root password displayed in the about screens, no verified boot, no password by default (with password protection that amounts to a lock screen), and unprotected USB access to all user files by default? Where there are four exposed pins on the exterior that allow mounting of the root filesystem as USB mass storage regardless of password protection (https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable2-recovery), and the root password is stored in plain text?
Yea was debating between that and the DevOps cert from AWS. Choose DevOps because it covers some of the same concepts and more. Also just passed the AWS Developer Associate, so warmed up. Using Tutorial Dojo… Highly recommended! CKAD course on Udemy looks good too and have heard good things from friends. Good luck on your journey!
rancher's work on k3s is really impressive

I wouldn’t worry too much, it sounds like gouvernements are not even able to enforce the « read the article » rule yet; son you probably still have some time ahead of you.
> I’m not sure how that benefits any of “their donors”

You can't see how kneecapping the USPS might help FedEx, UPS, and Amazon?

The point of making the USPS pre-fund their pension obligations was to be able to turn around and say "look at the horrible state of their finances, government is clearly so inefficient, we should privatize it".
Being ported back to my 16 year old body in the Carter era, I'd have done quite a few things differently. Knowing the next 42 years events would make you quite a lot less shy about choices.

I would have gone to the local University extension, and got a CS/EE dual degree. I would be tempted, of course, to skip that and go the Bill Gates route. For whatever reason, in the early 1980s, I wanted to be a programmer, but was ready to swear on a stack of bibles that programming would never be a way to make money. (Yeah, I was quite wrong about that).

Passing up the chance at a cheap college degree would be hard to do. I would have made and maintained all the friendships I could stand. There are so many wrong turns taken, and with a network of friends to help, a lot of those could be fixed.

One regret is not keeping a diary, regardless.
Or just carbon monoxide. The thing people are so paranoid over in their homes because it is a silent killer.

I'm sure there's plenty on there that can kill you already. But before you go maybe try a vacation in Thailand or something.
> Which countries have something competing with Amazon?

Amazon have tried to enter the Swedish market and it has been a complete train wreck. The other businesses who were initially worried ended up just confused over how they could screw up as bad as they did.
Gordian Software (YC W19) | Software Engineers | Full Time, Equity, Profit Share | Bellevue, WA | REMOTE w/ periodic travel to HQ | https://www.gordiansoftware.com/
Our mission is removing all unnecessary friction from air travel. Our first product makes it easy for travel websites to offer airline add-ons (rather than make travellers purchase at the airport). We have product market fit, large customers like Priceline, Hopper and Ctrip & have grown 15x so far this year.

We've hired 4 more people since our post in the November 2021 thread and are hiring more this month. Check out the JD here if you're interested: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/GordianSoftware/0ea0a67e-3621-4b28-...
Honestly the examples shown are underwhelming.

But the idea and technology are promising. It's like Photoshop but slightly easier and more realistic (I bet the neural network accounts for lighting and other minor details). There's a solid usecase for this kind of tool.
Author here, if anyone has any issues - let me know! :D
It always comes back to money, not what cool things you can do with it.
Uniswap (v2) has simple contracts, has been audited multiple times, holds billions of USD and it has not faced any kind of systemic attack. The only issue that I can think of is that pools with low liquidity can suffer from front-running.

Even the fees are not a "problem", if you consider that there are already roll ups (loopring, zkswap) that run pretty much the same version of those contracts and cost fractions of a penny.
No because then everyone would just…loaf.
The Indian Village Where Every Person’s Name Is a Unique Song (2020)
That's the kind of suicide one is going to do anyway. I am here talking about the one which someone is sane enough to seek assistance or buy a device like in the article.

We already put people with mental issues in mental health facilities instead of killing them. We could probably do something similar (not the same) for people who decide to take their own lives and seek out before doing it.
Just FYI that swarm is EOL
While this is not impossible, the argument usually goes that there are so few specimens that get fossilized that it's extremely unlikely for a particularly unique specimen to have been the one getting fossilized. Basically fossilization is "pick a random individual", and the odds of picking an individual with a rare condition are going to be very small.
Curious to hear more about this as well. How is Uniswap?
$25/TB/month is the headline price for "everybody".

The HN discount price is lower than that (by a fair amount).

The downsides to the discounted plans are as follows:

- you can't have subaccounts/sublogins (child accounts).

- we won't give you technical support for borg/attic/rclone integrations. We assume you are an expert. Of course you get normal run of the mill support ...

// Being motivated about a job whether miltary /civilian should be about what you can do

Usually why people care about that is in-job competition and status hierarchies and ego.

But the role of those psychological/biological mechanisms(for ex. the serotonin system), in apes, for example, is to drive you to compete on mates and food. To get access to real, valuable resources.

Modern organizations are using those mechanisms to motivate you, without giving you any access to real resources. Another form of exploitation.

Some chose not to play that game.

This can be fixed. In France for example, it’s illegal to put junk mail in a mailbox that has a “stop pub” (= no junk mail) sticker on it. I have one, and as a result <5% of my mail is junk mail.
only $150? netflix and chill
Seems to me that the most important questions have barely been asked (I saw just one scrolling through that Twitter feed, unanswered):
1) Was any work done during time paid by the company?
2) Also, but I'd be flexible with this one, was work equipment used?
3) Was the developer able to produce this work thanks to what he learned from proprietary systems, at work?

It's easy to grab the pitchfork, I hate that contract clause as all of you do, but without clear information on the above this case could go either way.
I have a $25 gift card from Apple, now I’m worried to use it.
I'm also a Reaper user. The Windows version is so snappy that it runs perfectly under WINE and, as a Linux user, I didn't feel the lack of a native version before it existed. And I still use it; unfortunately something happened on my 6+ years old installed machine and I'm not able anymore to run Linux VST hosts under native software; all attempt to use linvst now fail, etc, so I'll be soon building a new machine dedicated only to music.

Anyway, one feature I'd like to be addressed in DAWs is pattern based drum programming, just like we did with old drum machines in the 80s, but on steroids. I wouldn't use it for electronic music however; I'd like to quickly create patterns with an UI that for example let me show them like boxes on a flowchart (double clicking for editing), then drag, move, connect, copy them, apply variations, different time signatures, etc. The mouse interface would allow extremely quick creation and managing of a rhythm track, but unfortunately all we got is piano/drum tracks that are good for fine editing but IMO aren't the best tool when composing. They surely allow selecting areas then copying, moving etc, but in most DAWs the interface is so much crammed with objects that can be dragged and dropped that mistakes are a regular thing. We lack something in between that helps organizing drum tracks areas as patterns, then treat them as such.
And sometimes people are just ready to move on. It doesn’t need to be because they’re underpaid or it’s a bad work environment. I was there and just wanted a change to a somewhat different type of work.
> And there are circular arguments: DNA is identified as, say, Neanderthal because the fossil was identified as such, and then it is used to identify other fossils as Neanderthal, even if they don’t look Neanderthal-like.

> While certain similarities between our DNA and Neanderthal DNA have been interpreted as evidence of the two species interbreeding, these similarities could just be run-of-the-mill features of the genome, common to many species.

These and other arguments by the author to try and dismiss DNA evidence seems really suspect. The "circular reasoning" argument doesn't even make any sense. Neither does the scientists being too stupid to understand that DNA overlap between Neanderthals and humans is meaningless.

As a non expert, this makes me have doubts about the veracity of any of these arguments made in this essay
The point is that if you're going to pedantically correct someone, they need to be wrong. No one is wrong when they say rope.
Don't make personal attacks. It only underscores the weakness of your argument. I'm not the one being overly legalistic, you are trying to make this a discussion of the legal system.

My position, by contrast, is straightforward: Principles of justice apply everywhere. Full stop.

The fact that this isn't a court of law is utterly immaterial. Allegations "substantiated" in secret are not substantiated at all.
> Pay everyone the same to do the same job

That’s the crux of the issue. Government employees across all branches are capped into pay scales that don’t compete with private. More importantly, that absolutely cannot get anything like profit sharing or stock grants so nobody is invested in the financial success of the operation.

> Why is it capitalists think people can only work if there's a rich person creaming off a profit?

Because in the real world, all of the employees are benefiting from the profit as well. Every company has bonuses/promotions for exceeding performance doing good for the company.

Why is it that socialists thing working for a company produces the same incentives as working for the government?
He is still very relevant regarding said refugee crisis.
I remember being 5 or 6, many years before I became Christian, seeing a depiction of Jesus hanging on the cross. It was grotesque, and fascinating in the “I don’t want to look, but I kind of do” way that is especially appealing to kids. I was shocked and dumbfounded that it was anything someone would have on their house.

Though the Crucifixion is part of Christ’s sacrifice, I continue to find it an odd thing to focus on, especially in the context of the resurrection.
News to me. I bought a pair of headphones in early September and they still haven't shipped. Since then I've had chats with Amazon support thrice, and the first two times I was lied to with "it's just being packed for shipping now".

The third time I was given $20 in Amazon credit and told that a ticket had been lodged about my purchase. That was a week ago, and it still hasn't shipped.

I could easily have cancelled and bought another product, but I'm pissed off that they sold me a product they didn't have, and now I'm invested in seeing how this plays out.

> the cool kids turned out to be not so cool after all.

Hahaha

That is so true that it shouldn't be funny, but it still is.

Pretty much all the "cool" people from my public education experience ended up being incredibly low-tier once they got out of college. Like, disproportionately. A lot of them are currently living with their parents in their 30s and have no career at all. One guy who kept stealing from me that everyone thought was "gangsta" ended up in prison for a while. One of my former bullies became one of those smarmy 3rd-party tech recruiters! xD Although I don't necessarily wish bad things upon others, it's rather fitting that he ended up in a job where almost all of his clients actually hate him. :D
You could say "underpaid and undervalued so they leave" which places the agency in the right place and covers strictly more situations. You don't need to be actively recruited in a market with pay differentials this large.
I think it's just a bad article title that doesn't explicitly clarify that we're not talking about existing, modern homo sapiens.

Piddling about the taxonomy of extinct species isn't problematic, but I could see a mob misinterpret this as him saying that not all living humans belong to the same species, and go on a witch hunt over the misunderstanding.

However, if some evidence started emerging that modern humans were not all the same species (whatever that actually means in practice) then I think the above comment applies. No one with a reputation to protect would touch that bit of truth with a ten foot pole.
