Well said. My response was going to be a lot less measured than this, and I would be an asshole for saying the first thing that popped into my head, so I am glad you got there before me.
To re-phrase what I was going to say in a more senensitive way, to the OP, to me this reads like (and really no offence), you would prefer for other people to miss out on good knowledge due to the small chance that someone may feel a little bit bad for a short time. Its a bit like a "think of the children" argument, but there aint no children here, well accept for me maybe.

I am sorry you had to go through that though.
Also the threads above this comment are some of the best I have read on here in the last month or 2, and there has been some seriously good content (to me at least), in that time.
There are diminishing returns in terms of objectively measurable quantities as you move up the price-continuum in audio equipment. "Audiophile" vendors have realized that there's a subset of the population for which the subjective enjoyment experienced is actually determined more by the latter than the former variable... Can't blame them for trying, although their apparent success is quite concerning.
You'll note, HN'ers, that I never said that I was an A player, nor that engineers can all be divided up into castes. You all seem to be extrapolating based on your own prejudices.

It's just a (sometimes) useful way of thinking about top executives, who mostly can be assigned grades. Engineers are too complex to be divided that way.

As for me: yes, some A players did decide I could be useful. I think I was, as an engineer, and they thought so too. On hiring people: the record was more mixed; some good and some not so great.
I can't stand KDE/Plasma for what many would consider a silly reason: I want Confirm/OK/Next actions to be in the lower right side of dialogs, and Cancel/Back in the lower left.

I have a vague memory of this being configurable a long time ago (maybe KDE 3), but this setting disappearing in later versions.

Is it possible to change this in later versions of KDE?
I honestly cannot make sense of this. I said that it affects you, and you will have to care, whether you want to or not. In what way did I say you were the enemy?

Just curious, are you at a college/university, or fresh out of?
The number of harassment at any company should be 0. You may not have meant it this way, but your comment makes it sound as if the goal should be to keep harassment down to some average number.

Just because they “felt” harassed doesn’t mean they truly were. Probably just opportunistic vultures to be honest and they probably have a gear to grind against Elon.
If it's any consolation, even if the source code was provided, it is highly unlikely that it would have been of much better organisation or quality than the paper itself.
If only USB did the same. Would be a big improvement to USB connected instruments and audio interfaces. A man can dream.

>increasing threats of sanctions

So threats, no real sanctions, not that the steel sanctions did anything, somehow Vietnam started selling us all their steel after we sanction China for other reasons.
This is related to an issue I've studied a lot and recently written about. In "Don't make a fetish of having a flat organization" I try to address this in the context of business, making clear that a well-designed bureaucracy can empower an organization to be more flexible at scale, but for various reasons we don't often think of it this way:

https://demodexio.substack.com/p/dont-make-a-fetish-of-havin...

But perhaps more relevant, in the context of government and policy, I've tried to make the point that we should think of government and bureaucracy as machines that produce policy. Every machine is optimized to produce certain kinds of policies. If you advocate for a great policy, and you've the facts on your side, and yet no one will listen to you, then you need to think about the structure of that machine, because it will take a change in the machine to get that machine to start producing the kinds of policy that you want:

This reminds me of a set of poems, Knots, by R.D. Laing, the first of which goes:

> They are playing a game

> They are playing, at not playing a game

> If I show them I see they are, I shall break the rules and they will punish me.

> I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game.

It's a lovely collection, and though I haven't thought about it recently, I think there's a lot of value in considering these kinds of unspoken self/group contradictions.
Works fine for Firefox on a Pixel 6. Took a couple of seconds to load then smooth (ginormous) scrolling was available.

The power and foolishness of democracy lies therein. A good story is more motivating that the complicated truths of life. It is probably better for all of us to link every tornado and hurricane to climate change in a neat little story than refrain from doing so because we cannot link the particular storm on man-made climate change. The story has power to effect positive change.
I'd say they're about as useful as euclidean distance is.
How many clues exactly so you need to conclude she's overacting to normal vaguely annoying behaviors in semi professional settings (except the butt grabbing) and globally playing the victim card ?

She is offended to literally everythin fashionable these days on the offense scale (sexisme, racisme/colonialism and evironmentalism), and literally comparing Elon Musk to her father who sexually assaulted her in her full letter..
It's the exact opposite of weird. Tons of people still end up in relationships with people they initially hit it off with at work, despite a well-publicized increase in risk and efforts at shifting norms so we think it's "weird".

It may be a lot of things—including ill-advised—but it's not weird.

Hmm.. There is no web service that returns response in <5ms, unless you are sitting at the very terminal of the hardware producing the output.

The demo featured in this PR takes about 800-1000ms total to produce search results. How much of that is the actual API is not known. Typically, https request to an API in the cloud will cost you at least 50ms of network latency, more likely 100ms-200ms. If you are running vector search on premise you will obviously not have this overhead.

Text embeddings typically work for short text as well as paragraphs (paragraph embeddings are usually mean/max of word embeddings anyway) simply because most commercial use cases demand handling of short text input (because nobody is inputting a paragraph into a typical search box; what use is a news search if you can not type a single word like 'Biden' or 'gpt3' into it).

I second the incredulity in every other comment here, but the bit that really struck me was the aluminum chassis reinforced with carbon fiber to _dampen vibration and resonance_. In an ethernet switch. What?

I guess, if I had to stretch to say something nice, it's good that people like the author exist so that some engineers get to have a bit of fun designing a boring old switch with a no-compromises budget.

EDIT: their website (the maker, not the reviewer) is pure (oxygen free, directional) gold. They have a ten thousand dollar power cord with extra little plugs on it that you can attach to something called a carbon fiber tuning module to "voice your system."

I listen to music, but only as background. It has caused some odd dating issues in the past because I don't care about concerts nor can I recall "our song". But I am also comfortable in silence and I generally won't notice if the background music stops.
I'm a painter, and it was bullshit. Camera lucidas suck and just get in the way and Hockney is a modernist hack of a painter.
I believe the pricing is high by necessity - we're talking about employing some dozen of people on the higher end of competency doing terribly unexciting work. Hobbyists should settle on the Hopper tool, which is $99 a year.

Also, if you wanted to advocate for FOSS, compilers are an all around terrible example. In fact, they prove my point: thanks to GCC and the likes, we're still stuck with hodgepodge of fragile build systems, platform-dependent code and poor IDE integrations. Hell, modern programmers will be right at home with 1988's compilers, seeing how Makefiles are still somehow relevant even today.

Compare that with the early 90's Turbo Pascal which had an IDE with a built-in help system, a build system, a debugger, and a profiler. We could've had competition to improve upon all that, and instead it's 2021, and you have to spend hours per project to keep the tooling from breaking. In my carreer, I've probably spent more paid hours setting up "free" tooling than I paid for commercial tools. It's just a sad lose-lose situation for everyone.
Emphasis is put on the fact it's money from China and involvement with China. Combined with unrelated other news stories during the last years, months, weeks we see clearly a blind rage when it is about Russia and China. US media (and politics) is running on fear and completely stopped investigating or analyzing when it is about Russia and China. And this is to me the essence of McCarthyism. Replacing analysis with fear and accusations. If tax evasion would be the real driver here a lot of other stories about high profile tax crimes should brake. But that is not the case either.
This is a novel idea ! Sell bullshit to people who think of themselves as audiophiles. Surely no one has done that before.

The thing is the time-constants of atmospheric green house gases are in the centuries so you can't change any of it quickly. To Wit: if the deadline is 2035 or 2050, we are all already dead if such predictions were true (they are NOT).

On the other hand, a lot of the hype about global warming is bullshit. The presumptions often require that you believe that all Bangledeshis will quietly remain at their current latitude and longitude waiting for the water to rise about them. That's clearly not realistic but most of the numbers of "deaths caused by global warming" are based on EXACTLY such facile and stupid modeling assumptions.

It's like the people making such numbers know NOTHING about human behavior (and it's all too likely they actually do NOT).

I have zero concerns about humanity surviving. We are agile and adaptive. Will it be MY PERSONAL gene line? Don't know. Will it be the majority of gene lines from currently alive people surviving? Probably not but that's not unique to global warming. Add a World War or a comet and the same is true and probably worse.

Of course, I'm a hard ass on numbers and traceable causality and frankly that has not been provided. Just ask about CO2 levels before all the graphs typically trotted out! Pre-Eocene, CO2 levels were 4x-10x higher than today. Crickets on that.

I think the GP is trying to say that there are some people who are so horrified by a few cringeworthy aspects of Star Trek that they want to create a huge blanket stigma against it to ensure that nobody watches it, and anybody who does watch it is buried in ridicule. Likewise, there are some people who react to blockchain scams and BS by trying to create a blanket stigma against anything related to the topic.

I haven't personally looked into blockchain or related ideas enough to get excited (I'm harder to excite now that I'm older, and I have less time) but sometimes I feel like I ought to, just because the flavor of the criticism reminds me of the smug nastiness that got directed towards people who were interested in things like computers and Star Trek when I was young. These nerds think they're onto something cool, and we have to mock them until they can't believe in it anymore. I almost feel like I should start learning the technology out of solidarity with the little kid I used to be who embraced computers despite knowing how hopelessly dorky that made him.

Of course the concept of nerdiness has been socially rehabilitated since the 1980s, and now the stigma is nominally directed towards scams and environmental waste, but the people delivering the stigma have designed the blast radius to work pretty much the same. The entire topic is stigmatized, any interest or optimism is stigmatized. I think the history of computing and the internet shows that it's hopeless to try to disentangle the utopian hope for social transformation from the grifting and greed. Scam artists can smell the hope for progress and transformation like sharks can smell blood; it means a meal for them. It's a crude distortion to argue that either optimism or greed alone properly characterizes "web3" without the other. When we look back twenty years from now they'll both be part of the story, whether these ideas fizzle out or have a transformative impact or something in between.

We do something like this with SQLite.

Fun fact - you don't even need to maintain a special unicorn "_migrations" table or any other external state to keep track of things with SQLite migration. You can simply utilize the user_version pragma:

https://sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_user_version

We have a DatabaseVersion constant in the classes that own each type of SQLite database, and all they have to do at ctor time is query the database for current version and run a for loop over the difference to execute the required migration scripts.

Our migrators are one-way (we don't define a matching 'down.sql'). We would push new code to back something out of a SQL schema and then increment our counter just like if we added something new. Decrementing/skipping is disallowed since this would cause information loss on the migration path. Having a monotonic version number per type of database makes it super easy to keep everything on rails for us.

For database access, we also use raw SQL via Dapper.
>You are "pushing a view that has absolutely no advantage to anyone".

Really? I'm of the opinion that doing less, working less, and doing things like having your own garden would lead to much greater health and happiness for the average person. The only way I can see "no advantage" is when viewed through the lens of modern capitalism, then my suggestions are certainly blasphemous.

That's incredibly quick in evolutionary terms. If COVID becomes milder, it may take many human lifetimes for that to occur. In the mean time, it can mutate into something stronger.
Clearly I am in the wrong business. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to set up shop selling high-end audiophile gear. Our first product will be a series of speaker cables, enhanced with cadmium for better alignment of the electromagnetic fields. Price, $700.00 USD / foot. If you have to ask how much the special gold-plated connectors cost, you can't afford them.
I don't see how they're competing, TypeScript can still share code between client and serverside, go "can't".
They're not exclusive to each other, routing "form submissions" though a ts verification layer and then down to Go makes sense to me if you need the Go performance but want to share things client and server side.

Also, application servers are cheap, persistent, fast and durable storage isn't, these won't be written in TS.

TL;DR: different problem domains, not important

I feel like this comment was made in jest, but before the GameStop event ruined WSB, it was easily my favorite place on the internet.

Some really smart people were posting really insightful things on a regular basis.

It was a meritocracy of sorts (either you can make money or you can't was the attitude).

It also featured a refreshingly irreverent attitude. A lot of the discourse was vulgar and highly inappropriate but most people involved simply didn't care.

Nowadays WSB is just endless Steve Buscemi-like "hello fellow apes", "such and such gonna moon boys" and talk of sticking it to "the hedgies". It's awful now.

Sorry, but I think you're arguing from such bad faith, not sure if this conversation is redeemable. Imo, Log4j is as part of web2 as technologies like MongoDb or AJAX/XMLHttpRequest. Arguing the opposite is just completely nuts. I mean, Play Framework (a staple of Web 2.0 Java & Scala), uses Log4j implicitly[1]. Have you written any Web2 apps in Java? It doesn't seem like you have.

> The Play logger is built on Log4j. Since most Java libraries use Log4j or a wrapper able to use Log4j as a backend, you can easily configure logging that is well-suited to your application.

It's funny, while I've never tried Alacritty (and I'm not likely given the posts I'm reading about it around here), I'm still stuck with xterm, which in some ways has a terrible UX. But it's the fastest I've used, has the most correct VT-100 emulation (or at least programs do work), and it has by far the crispest fonts - if you're using bitmap fonts, which most modern terminals don't support anymore.

But to your actual point, of course you can write software that runs not slower, or even runs much faster, than the software of 30 years ago that ran on machines of the time. The exception proves the rule (while I feel it's always been so obvious that there was never a proof needed).
The other day I was playing an online game with voice chat, when a a couple of women who sounded black started speaking. Most online games have a problem with sexism and racism, and I immediately braced for someone to start being sexist and/or racist, which of course happened.

This was honestly the first time I remember hearing a black sounding women in voice chat on an online game, which isn't surprising if this is the reaction they get even a tiny minority of the time. It sucks that their only options are to try and hide their identity, not speak at all, or speak and take the abuse.

Just in exactly the same way an ice cube has already displaced surrounding water in a glass.

If or when the aforementioned iceberg melts, there will be no further raising of sea level - because the level was already displaced.

Same as with the ice cube in the glass of water.
