Show HN: How to build a music synthesizer in rust
Back in pre-covid times, for a while, we had a team with around 6 local devs and a couple of devs in other more remote (and earlier) time zones. We had the remote members give their standup in slack and the locals do an actual standup. They took turns reading the slack standup from the other members. We kept each other on track during standup for the most part though sometimes things would wander until we brought it back in. We tried to be conscious of the time but not rigid about it. We also did periodic calls of the whole team even though the times were not the most convenient for anyone. The team members liked each other and were helpful when needed and were willing to do occasional, short off-time calls to talk about longer term plans.
If you look in the post, they explain what flag they use to avoid those access issues.

I recently sold a business using a broker for $xxx,xxx. DM if any of you are serious and need an introduction.
Exactly this. The majority of their employees aren't SWEs, they are probably comissioned sales reps or customer support staff. The expensive employees will probably be exempted after a few months, if that. This seems of a ploy to garner PR to recruit drivers (like the "Undercover Boss" pandering that people apparently like, "look, even our senior management does this task", Disney managers in the Goofy suit) than anything. It tries to counter the newfound realization that it is a crappy job with by forcing other employees to comisserate (not really, since the FTEs are paid better, have insurance, benefits, guaranteed work, etc.) via performing the same duties-- while not providing tangible benefits to the contractors. Sure, one can argue that it can help PMs or POs in better understanding the concerns of the drivers, but wouldn't drivers likely prefer to keep their tips, health insurance or livable wages versus a 12% improvement in order dispatch time?
Experience is king. Language is used at a pace where it has to be intuitive. No amount of learning rules is going to give you that. As you use a language you build up intuition on it and you learn the patterns (combos) that go well together. It's actually quite similar to how you learn so many other things from mathematics to video games.

One thing that does set languages apart though is that they involve learning to listen and to speak. With other activities we don't usually have to learn to listen to a new audio pattern to start distinguishing it from noise. Even less frequently do we have to learn to make new sounds with our mouth. In fact, I bet most people couldn't even describe what they do in their mouth to produce the sounds of different characters in their languages that they can speak. (Think of the difference of French R and English R and how you produce them.) Learning those can be quite a new experience, especially if you're still learning up distinguish the sound from noise.
dataclasses have methods for iterating fields and inspecting types, so any feature can be added. There is also the benefit of type checking. My grief with dataclasses is how I can't inherit from dataclasses with default fields without making all child class fields also have defaults.
In the USA, the Sept 11 WTC collapse was another one of those "Shelter in place as deadly" incidents when "something that couldn't happen" (skyscrapers collapsing from impact/fire/{conspiracy theories go here}) did. They were "designed to withstand an airplane crash" - and, previously, other buildings had [0].

"Stay in a building that's actively on fire, don't worry, people will come and take care of it!" sounds, to me as an American, like utter insanity. If the building is capable of withstanding it and the correct techniques are applied quickly, great, but "not in the building" is my strongly preferred place to be in the event of any sort of structure fire/damage/etc.

It's not that it can't work - it's just that when something major has gone wrong, history tends to show that lots of other things end up going wrong as well. Also, that "The building as designed" and "The building as built, after 40-50 years in service," frequently don't share as much as one might hope in terms of safety features.

There's a long recorded history of structure fires that have destroyed supposedly "fireproof" buildings. We might know more now, but in a battle between Murphy and engineering hubris, Murphy seems to find a lot of ways to win.

IIRC it is completely dependent on the JavaScript implementation of JSON serialisation so it is very difficult to implement in other languages without copying code from JavaScript implementations. There were other things, but that one struck me.

That sounds like a terrifying threat to anyone who might post on this page who has loved ones within the reach of the CCP.

The number of people who should be reported to any government for criticizing it is zero. If there are laws against criticizing the government, such laws are unjust.

Not China. The CCP.

This question is easily dismissed because the author is asking about something that is not likely to emerge in the near future. A more interesting and less easily dismissed question would be to substitute 'game changing technology' for AGI. I think there are a number of technologies which, while not AGI, provide a significant edge for a nation or other organization possessing them.

Biological technologies. Energy storage technologies. Financial manipulation technologies. Advanced propaganda technologies(think 'deep fake', or deep fake combined with mass surveillance and communications infrastructure penetration(i.e. man in the middle a society's communications and start a mass panic)). There are probably many, many more.

People worry a lot about AGI, but all that's required for, say, killer robots is a solution to the power problem. We can already mass produce drones with good enough pattern recognition to slice your jugular. If you figure out how to power a few million of those drones for a day or so, you have one of the most lethal and targeted weapons in the history of mankind.

I think it's more likely that the robots won't kill us though. It's far more likely, assuming such a doomsday scenario takes place at all, they'll just convince us to kill each other or ourselves. Perhaps we won't even have to die, we'll just need our priorities adjusted to serve their owners.

To return to the original question though, I think there is a naivete amongst technologists today regarding the level of integration between corporations and the military. Si Valley basically exists as an arm of the military industrial complex. Anyone who thinks the government isn't funding and making use of the latest technologies in processing, pattern detection, deep fakes, deep learning, etc is simply ignorant of reality. These things aren't talked about much because they're upsetting to younger engineers.

Public Agencies Are Buying Up AI-Driven Hiring Tools
The person you're responding to is not advocating that ideas are the responsibility of the PM, nor are they saying the PM should be the overall decider.

They are saying the PM is responsible for collecting information from the customer and bringing that information to the team in an efficient manner so the team can make decisions based on that information.

If the PM brings incorrect or inadequate information, the resulting product will be poor because the team will have made its decisions on the basis of that poor information.

I don’t know where you are, or what policies they are following. Where I live, the stated policy is to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, which seems reasonable. I really can’t comment on the rest of your post.

Okay, I didn’t realize we were assuming an exploit in the parser which allows for arbitrary message sending. When I would write CAN logic we didn’t do any sort of authentication. And I know parsers have historically been an attack vector but I don’t understand how people write parsers that are exploitable for arbitrary CAN message sending.

Do you honestly think bell hooks would be cool with you lumping her with Kobe, even if he bought her a giant diamond after the fact?

To be clear, it reads like you invoked her name to dog whistle about misandry which would be funny if it weren’t for the way the world is because of the Internet which is because of, yknow, HackerNews type folks.
Burned transaction fees, similar to a sales tax with a slight twist. Fees would ramp up in a similar way to Bitcoin, where the sooner you want to transact, the more it costs, and perhaps say a month out transactions are always free.

I think there's something in that system where we could mint blocks weeks in advance, and this would keep the need for PoW to an absolute minimum.

> Now that we’re years into COVID and vaccines are readily available, it’s extremely frustrating for New Zealanders with family or loved ones overseas. Public opinion is steadily shifting towards ‘open up the country’, and the government has announced some tentative dates for doing this (although they were recently shifted back due to omicron).

As someone who was in a Covid-free region of Australia all throughout the pandemic, I’ve seen first-hand what happens when borders are reopened. Local businesses are far less harmed from closed borders than they are from people avoiding clustering in indoor areas — either out of an abundance of caution for their health, or to avoid becoming a “close contact” of a Covid-19 case and then being forced into quarantine. Once borders reopen, associated mask mandates give everyone needless anxiety, while the hospital system beginning to buckle becomes a constant source of fear.

Closed borders allowed Australia and New Zealand to perform better economically than more permissive countries, and allowed their residents to live life like it was still 2019.

Permissive countries like America merely pretended to allow life to go on like it was 2019, while their conservative media exported tone deaf rationalizations for permissiveness to AU & NZ residents who were on average far better off than they were. The American media’s attempts at guilting antipodeans for closing themselves off to the world were laughed off as completely bizarre — most people were all too happy to allow the rest of the world to think they were doing it tough living their happy, blissful, Covid-free lives behind impenetrable borders.

AU & NZ would probably have at least another year of normal life left to live if their governments had directed international arrivals to quarantine in dedicated facilities in remote locations rather than in retrofitted hotels smack dab in the center of major urban areas.
Could you kindly comment, if this resonates, or else set me straight if you can?

Apologies in advance if I’m off beam. I’m really struggling to navigate this.

When my ADHD colleague’s tasks were overdue and dragging the critical path, her response was not what I expected, which would have been to slash the scope just to get completion of core functions in the deliverable. Instead, she’d start new extraneous tasks, and insist on getting my feedback, which I think required praise.

I declined to comment, fearing making things worse by unveiling criticism instead of the desired praise. I just said sorry, I can’t put my attention to that at this point; I must focus on the one thing I’m doing myself now so I can make my own deadline.

She was furious, and withdrew, then abandoned the project.

Another friend who has an ADHD diagnosis and an education about useful clinical responses, told me that what I saw was common. She said it’s “the cycle of shame”, which she herself had repeated in the past ad nauseum before she’d obtained assistance from new clinical approaches.

What is the cycle of shame? I took it to mean that the ADHD colleague knew the task overrun was deliterious to the project, but was powerless to respond other than to start a fresh (extraneous) task, which only made matters worse for the team, but apparently more tolerable for herself in the short term, but ultimately she had to live with the shame?

???
No. It doesn’t change the DNA. It only uses the existing RNA messaging system to tell the body to product antibodies. What you are suggesting is like expecting Ethernet to change the source code.
I don't think everyone would follow the rules, but I don't see that as a limitation to allowing people in.

Frankly, being allowed back in your country is probably along the lines of 'human right' and there probably is not any condition in which the government could not allow it.

There's plenty of ways to allow for isolation.

NZ Climate is actually temperate, they could even have individual military tents with cots and plastic outhouses, while not exactly luxury, it could accommodate almost anyone, and most people esp. those under 35 wouldn't have a problem.

They could even do a rapid build of low quality structures i.e. mini-huts, pre-fab style, put them in locations outside the city.

Though a bit authoritarian, even ankle bracelets could be used in some case maybe for home quarantine.

Commandeering motels and hotels and putting the Health Authorities right on premise.

In Taiwan, when you arrive they don't want you on the public transit so they rent you a car.

They arrive to your home 10 minutes after you do with masks and explain the deal. They check up on you every day sometimes in person, sometimes by phone.

I suggest that most people will 'get the idea' when a government rep. is directly communicating to them, checking up, answering questions, letting them know the 'real boundaries' aka 'you can't go out for coffee', 'you can't have your family over etc.'

There shouldn't be much of a wait for that kind of thing.
Made it reasonable. RealPlayer™ and QuickTime did sort of "work".
Because I would easily classify as having ADHD, CPTSD and various addictions. I've done years of therapy to make myself not feel like these things are my fault, and I still consider them personal flaws and I don't want to be medicated or treated with kid gloves or stand on anything other than my own ability to hold my own shit together, hard as that sometimes is. I know that's not an acceptable view in AA or psychotherapy, or maybe to the audience here, but if you're asking what prompts me to be defensive about treating such things as handicaps rather than obstacles, there you have it.
It does a little bit of that too. This video makes that more visible: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/rnk10o/tesla_h...
I discovered in my 30s that I have ADHD. In reading this Im surprised at how many of these techniques I discovered out of trial, error, and necessity.

Most are great like headphones, writing things down, blocking out distractions, but the long boring task one fascinates me. For me it actually helps to turn on some video series I’m mildly interested in while doing that long boring task. In-office was so much harder because I could never try having Netflix open.

I’m a professor now and allow students particular freedoms along these lines, like wearing headphones or skipping lecture for the recorded one. I recently had a student who was able to participate more and keep up with the lecture much better by looking down and slowly maintaining a game on his phone.
What Jack Dorsey’s Beef with ‘Web 3′ Is Really About
“So far, nearly 150 lives have been saved as a direct result of the site and my actions.”

I get that those 150 lives were all at risk, because a not-too-bright someone wanted them killed, but... I'm also curious how many of those would manage to kill their targets if they weren't intercepted?

This isn't an argument against intervention, since they demonstrated an intent to kill. But I'm legitimately wondering how often people with grudges connect with actual contract killers.
Seems like they changed the CSS, I thought my network was bad or something but they put on a tad bit of Christmas colors.
Orson Welles on his experiences with Hitler and Churchill
The amount of bandwidth being used isn't the concern. It's the lack of control and consent over what is being transmitted. How would you feel if the car you bought granted someone the right to come over once a month just to open your car doors and see what's in your glove compartment? Oh, it's just once a month and they're not doing anything, just rifling through your glove box. This is how I feel about the sharing of Echo bandwidth.

It has nothing to do with the "big guy". If some no-name startup sold me software or a device and told me they're going to use my bandwidth for whatever reasons, I'd be just as concerned. I use plenty of Amazon on a day to day basis, no need to "tear down the man". But these Echo and Show devices will stay turned off.
The lack of context is exactly what I noticed was the problem when using Google Assistant. I had to be very explicit about what I wanted it to do. It couldn't use context of what I was doing at the time to figure the details out on its own.
I do Java for a living, and I use VSCode and IntelliJ both for Java. VSCode shines when you want to quickly open up a project and do something minor. IntelliJ is better for when you're going to be there for a while.

The big thing about VSCode that I really like is that it just seems to be easier to look at... There's less visual cruft by default than in IntelliJ.

> In March, the Agency awarded a contract to the Telus Data For Good program to provide “de-identified and aggregated data” of movement trends in Canada. The contract expired in October, and PHAC no longer has access to the location data, the spokesperson said.

So it's anonymized movement data that CSE (probably) already had complete access to. I'd like to know more about how granular the data is. Obviously if it's too granular it just points to your home and the grocery store, which isn't very anonymous. If it is a log of city-to-city travel, then it should be fairly hard to pin point any specific individual from the dataset.

I think Apple and Google's device-to-device contact tracing is a much better approach to the locality problem, and it is also in use in Canada (opt-in).

Were these the original hard copies each graduating PhD student must file after they’ve defended? That would involve physically going to some random university to physically check out some random person’s dissertation where the dissertation wasn’t notable enough to be available online. I just can’t see that happening, unless somehow the university you were studying at had the random dissertations that you wanted to read.

If it wasn’t the original hard copy but a copy then I don’t think the $20 bill would be there regardless.
I remember the days of QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Windows Media. There were contemporary open source tools but they had zero adoption. What FLOSS made possible IMO was free Internet video, because proprietary tools were too manual and too expensive to use at large scale.
And thereby shaming those who escaped menial and gig jobs through education and hard work.

This is horrifying. The glorification of menial work and making sure ‘everyone experiences’ it is a new sort of first world hell.

We should work towards getting rid of all menial and manual jobs. Not normalize it and perpetuate.

America is laughing stock to the rest of the developing world where they work hard to escape poverty and menial jobs.

Goodbye, America. If someone had ever wanted to destroy America and a grand plan was in motion…they have succeeded.

I am truly horrified by what this country has become…companies like door dash are betting on an never ending supply of low wage menial workers instead of pivoting into automating and modernizing food delivery..and more importantly what is needed is training and educating people acc to their skills and abilities that aren’t for jobs that a mindless drone can do.

This nonsense here is some kind of sick grooming and virtue signaling horror story script for an already dying capitalist country. Why not start delivering sustainable pony carts instead of cars next?

Philanthropic? A company’s job is to make profit. An individual’s job is to create a better society.

Almost every immigrant I know who has come to this country will be laughing.

Menial jobs ARE beneath ANY human being. Educate your population instead to make sure there are no more menial jobs.

Every problem has its solution in smart infrastructure and small sustainable cities. We are trying to live in the 80s in 2022 with 21st century tech and tools.

Most of the startups are seeded with ideas that are reminiscent of the 80s when I was child in India. This country is moving backwards due to nostalgic immigrants in powerful places.

Please stop celebrating this. It’s just awful in so many ways.
