Reminds me a lot of Automator on macOS which I’ve always loved. I’m not on the current OS versions so I haven’t tried shortcuts on mac (I use it on my iPhone sometimes, not as useful though). It’s great seeing more cross platform tools like this!

Congrats on the release!

P.s. obligatory ‘no more electrons in my App folder thanks’ :(
I am so sorry for your pain. My journey paralleled yours, just easier. Figuring out who/what I was after leaving the mormon church was internal chaos for years. I'm glad to hear you're at a better place now.
Is it possible to delete data for compliance reasons? Not as a frequent operation, but say on a monthly batch?

I have exactly the same experience.

I switched to DDG on all my devices but when searching for regional(greek) stuff, the results are bad.
These are tracking deviations from the norm. It's not that expected deaths are flat across the year, it's that they're just showing the difference. If we expect 50 and see 55, we have 5 excess deaths. If we expect 10 and see 15, we still only have 5 excess.
If we stopped having children because some of them might suffer, then the human race would cease to exist. If that is your aim, then state it plainly, rather than hiding it behind a thinly veiled attack on somebody's religion and personal sacrifices.
Also exmormon (agnostic but somewhat spiritual) here...

I like the concept that maybe we're just the universe dreaming of itself. Like when we die...it's like rain drops returning to the ocean.

If you haven't seen Midnight Mass, I can't recommend it enough great Netflix series, but as one character is dying, there's a brilliant monologue (depending on who you ask, some hated it but I loved it!) that touches on this idea.

I like to believe that there could be something else ..but that regardless it doesn't require a deity, and everyone's invited, and that I should live as if there isn't because I can't possibly know if there is, and everything in life is valuable.
Reading the comments here there's one possibility that I haven't seen mentioned in that there may be an issue with lastpass allowing some level of access into people's accounts without actually having the password (which wouldn't enable the attacker to access the encrypted data).

> to the first part, some of the "antenna to HDMI" boxes let you plug in an SSD, and will let you have a "recording loop" like a DVR, and also let you DVR scheduled shows. If you then take that drive and plug it in to a computer, it will have files that open with VLC/mpv/mplayer/whatever.

What you probably will not find is one of these devices with support for netflix. No big name brand offer this feature. Probably not supporting this feature is required to get permission to support netflix.

> And to the second part, I used a large monitor as a TV for a long while, and my primary screen is a projector, both of which are just dumb "bits to nits" devices. The downside is having to have external speakers.

Yes. No "integrated" set. TV's now are locked down computers which take as much control away from the owner as possible.
> for document distribution you'll be using PDF anyway

This is true and it makes me really sad. HTML in particular, and the web broadly, is really good at document presentation and distribution. I see PDFs every single workday that should have been a tiny, readable, mobile-friendly-by-default HTML file.
Not sure where do you see that, looking at United States from the chart:

- October 2020, +15% deviation from expected deaths
- October 2021, +25% deviation from expected deaths
Awesome! I'd love to see someone do this with light field networks: https://www.vincentsitzmann.com/lfns/

By the way, in the plenoxel video they say "the key component is the differentiable volumetric rendering, not the neural network".

After watching the fractal community struggle to come up with good distance estimators for years, this makes so much sense. In the end, automatic differentiation came out to be one of the most solid methods for coming up with distance estimators for an arbitrary fractal formula.

Apple doesn't let you switch out the mainboard. I think that's the value of these USB-C dongles that are cheaper than Apple peripherals + lay flush to the laptop.

Sticking to USB-C means the chassis doesn't have to change between upgrades
> The same algorithm not going to run faster in Rust than tuned C, period.

Weirdly enough, before I added that optimization my rust code was ~20% faster than the C code anyway. And I have no idea why - the programs were (as far as I could tell) identical. I was using the same compiler backend (llvm) and before alias analysis was turned on for rust. And -march=native in both cases.

Could just be a weird coincidence of the compiler’s inlining decisions - though I suspect not. I tried investigating it but I don’t understand x86_64 assembly enough to understand how the binaries differ.
Thanks, just looked up my location. Seems like there is one very close to my house.

No, chart has "Total Deaths" and "Expected Deaths" numbers per month. Just hover over the tiles and you will see these values.
It’s really nicely done on the whole!

My feeling is that there is just a bit too much motion happening at once. I think the issue is that as you scroll (I’m on an iPhone) your eye is drawn to the content that has just scrolled into view but the content below then starts to animate too early, so you’re distracted by the motion happening below the content that you’re trying to read.

This happens multiple times (for each content block…)

I think you probably just need to delay the start of the next animation until you’ve scrolled down a bit further, and perhaps even reduce the amount of movement? It doesn’t need much motion to still give that dynamic feel.

It’s so close to being quite an awesome landing page otherwise!

Edit: also while we’re all here playing backseat designer…. The first animation of the iPhone showing some sort of archiving sequence seems to run too early for me - I don’t really understand what it’s demonstrating. By the time I’ve scrolled the iPhone into view, the archive overlay has already popped out and I didn’t get chance to see what the screen before that was showing. So it’s slightly confusing (though it looks nice!)
I meant to say, it is physically able to be enforced, therefore it is "enforceable", whether the law chooses to actually enforce it is another story.

I guess the headline should be "Italian Courts decide to enforce" rather than "Italian Courts find out [about this new thing they could choose to enforce called open source]"
I have heard some conflicting opinions on one of the books you mentioned. Software Design for Flexibility How to Avoid Programming Yourself into a Corner. Most seem to dislike it, but you have the complete opposite opinion. Why do you think that is?

I have a M1 MacBook Pro, and it is alright for running TensorFlow.

I have two conda environments set up, tf (CPU), and tf_m1 (Apple silicon GPU, CPU).

Some of my TF models, mainly multiple rower models have to run on just the CPU, but most of my models use the GPU.
As I said earlier, I was very disappointed to read of your experience as a Rack module developer (not least of the reasons: I use your modules often!)

However, this is a bit of a problem:

> Please do not assume you can read the archives of any incident and see an honest account of the full chronology.

The fact that Belt's handling of the module developer community has gained some notoriety that cannot be evaluated by reading "the full chronology" makes it extremely hard for those of us not involved in the original exchanges to make any confident assessment of what has taken place.

At this point, to be honest, the reading around of various threads (edited as they may be) related to all this left me with this as my only conclusion: your own personal style and beliefs and andrew belt's are deeply incompatible and it is probably best for everyone that you've chosen other pathways (you seemed deeply and personally hurt, and I could pretty much guarantee that it would happen again). I felt sympathy for both of your positions (at least as far as I could read them), and saw them as mostly irreconcilable.

I'm open to having my mind changed in the future. Your experience has certainly made me wonder if and how often I ever acted in a similar way that you feel Belt did, within the community of Ardour developers. I can remember only one (recent) incident in which someone felt they deserved explicit recognition for their part in a process. I hope that's the extent of it.
Just wondering, why 10.9/Mavericks over 10.12/Sierra?

As a side note, I’ve been using macOS Sierra as my main OS for a few years now (until quite recently when I switched to Manjaro), and find it works quite well, aside from not being able to run a large chunk of newer software.
The quote is,"Wilson said in reference to ants "Karl Marx was right, socialism works, it is just that he had the wrong species". Which seems a bit odd as Karl Marx was a communist and not a socialist, as far as I know. It's unlikely that Wilson was confused about this two terms so I expect it's just and honest mistake that's been continually repeated with out any one going back to the origininal sources.

Just because you put a warning label on a bad practice doesn't mean it's a good practice.

Pumping your passwords through some random code on Github that has a "be smart" label doesn't make it a good idea.

Would be so easy to imitate you, reupload the code with an exploit. For giggles, if I was making this into a hijack I'd leave all your warnings in and even make them bigger and more obvious, confident in the knowledge that 99%+ of my stolen users wouldn't read the code or would just download the binaries sight unseen.
The problem with people realizing how useful TikTok is as a discovery engine the more TT themselves will try to extract value from it and ultimately kill the golden calf.

TikTok is an amazing shopping experience (the actual paid-for ads are garbage like always, turns out that out of touch corporate advertisers are cringe) but I’ve discovered so much amazing art, food, music, makeup, clothes, home organization stuff because of videos of people being genuine and excited.

I think I say it on every thread but TT is the most positive, engaging, and fun social network I’ve ever been on. It’s so nice to have a social network based around chance encounters with people like you. And when you watch a low quality makeup tutorial from someone in their bedroom doing winged eyeliner you get to see what it’s actually gonna be like for you.
When my eldest brother was in high school, he did a two-week exchange program with a high school in Italy (where an Italian student came to stay with us for two weeks, and later my brother went and stayed with that student and his family for two weeks). I was fairly young at the time, but I distinctly remember when all the Italian students went out into the city to do some sight-seeing and he came back with basically his entire camera roll filled with pictures of squirrels, and apparently most of his friends had done the same.
I also don’t think they would want to do this, but I think you’re overestimating the risk. Genocide, stealing the entire South China Sea, and threatening the sovereignty of other nations haven’t inspired such boycotts.
They aren't. The article's data shows a clear trend towards higher excess deaths in winter months in the United States.

But even if the trend wasn't present: a large portion of the US's population lives in regions without 4 "true" seasons or where the flu season is dramatically shorter than in the Northeast. Analyzing individual climate regions within the US and accounting for varying degrees of public health compliance would provide a clearer picture.
I think it is also fair to expect them to know it without such reminders.
>concept of original sin

Personally as an atheist-ish / lapsed Catholic, original sin is just about the only thing I've never actually doubted, Chesterton put it very well:

“Modern masters of science are much impressed with the need of beginning all inquiry with a fact. The ancient masters of religion were quite equally impressed with that necessity. They began with the fact of sin – a fact as practical as potatoes. Whether or no man could be washed in miraculous waters, there was no doubt at any rate that he wanted washing. But certain religious leaders in London, not mere materialists, have begun in our day not to deny the highly disputable water, but to deny the indisputable dirt. Certain new theologians dispute original sin, which is the only part of Christian theology which can really be proved. Some followers of the Reverend R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philospher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or must deny the present union between God and man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.”

> increased the rates of suicides (50%)

Do you have a source for this? I just looked this up, and evidence for any sort of lockdown->suicide link seems very mixed (many places saw a decrease in suicides). The only places I’m seeing +50% is among specific populations in specific locations.

> Emergency room visits for suspected suicide attempts among girls between the ages of 12 and 17 increased by 26% during summer 2020 and by 50% during winter 2021, compared with the same periods in 2019, researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. However, ER trips related to suspected suicide attempts among boys that same age and young adults aged 18 to 25 remained stable during the pandemic.

Now, is it accurate? I'm not sure. Do those result in deaths? I'm also not sure, it might be reduced deaths due to more people home. I honestly have no idea.
Of course, you must reduce the risk to the parent company before the huge disclosure comes out </sarcasm>
Actually, you did not wait.
Given we’re likely stuck with passwords for the foreseeable future, I’d like to see two things in a password manager (maybe these exist?)

1. “hardware wallet” level security, with good UX. Maybe a USB/Lightning dongle, but I really wish computers/phones had built-in capability to do hardware wallets. Apple TouchBar got close (I realize it wouldn’t considered be a dedicated hardware wallet).

2. a way to automatically roll passwords periodically (with a small amount of user intervention, per requirement #1). This would require either some excellent AI or crowdsourced automations for every website.
In general, the wire tangle is an integral part of any signal-routing system, whether physical wires in hardware, a replication of those wires in software, or a less skeuomorphic box-and-pin model like Reaktor (which itself has a hardware-style layer with "cables" called Reaktor Blocks).

The one drawback I find to replicating hardware, as VCV Rack does, versus something originating in the digital realm, is that more complex modules bring over their hardware-based UI compromises.

An example of this is the Plaits module from Mutable Instruments, called "Macro Oscillator 2" in VCV Rack. The hardware Plaits module is very compact, and uses a series of LEDs with little icons next to them to denote which DSP algorithm it's running. The only way to know what anything does is to look up that icon in the manual and read what each of the knobs do in that mode.

In a software-first paradigm, the UI would use a software UI pattern rather than a hardware one, most likely a drop-down menu instead of a row of icons, and the labels on the knobs would change based on the mode (this is actually how a port I'm working on of Plaits to the Reason environment is designed).

All that said, many modules in VCV Rack are quite simple and would be no different if they originated in software. Things like basic oscillators, envelope generators, and filters need no manual diving if you understand the fundamentals.
Hey, thanks -- just replied to your email.

Since I haven't used this LastPass master password since 2017, I'd have to remember which extensions I had back then, which is hard to do...

I may have had 1Password and Adblock Plus which you had/have too.

But it's hard to say. It's a possible vector (that you, dogman123 and I had the same compromised extensions) but also... why would the hackers have sat on our master passwords for nearly 4 years (in my case)?
Yeah me too. Same IP range too, but location listed as Toronto. Not that this means anything.
But you have to do in a pretty short timeframe

> Under Article 12.3 of the GDPR, you have 30 days to provide information on the action your organization will decide to take on a legitimate erasure request. This timeframe can be extended up to 60 days depending on the complexity of the request.

What kind of numbers are we talking here? All of the 15 or so games I own have had the game on the disc.
I doubt most of the countries with much higher excess deaths had strict lockdowns which extended for long periods of time. Russia for example had one six week lockdown in March 2020 and then held the economy open for the next 18 months, but you can see through that period consistent high levels of excess mortality.

This idea that lockdowns caused spikes in non-Covid deaths seems highly dubious to me. From what I've seen it's actually the other way round, for instance deaths from influenza, or from accidents, are reduced during those periods.
> It’s literally custom USB-C dongles.

Yes, but try carrying your laptop around with four USB-C dongles permanently attached and see how well that works for you. This is nice if you don't want to have to constantly remember to carry specific dongles with you.

> If Apple shipped this people would decry them as leveraging their lock in to make people buy basic ports that should have been built in for free.

No they wouldn't, if it shipped with them like the Framework does.
Almost every country keeps a record of the actual cause of death - the data for month X is usually delayed 2-3 months. Excess deaths are just a summary of the official statistics.

The reason excess deaths are important because they are computed from the total number of deaths in a period (again, if you look at month X, the consolidated numbers are usually stable at month X + 2/3 months) which in turn just match with the number of death certificates issued by an enormous number small independent administrative authorities, so they cannot be easily manipulated by state actors, so they can shut up FUD'ers.
They have subtracted out the average number of deaths on each day from 2015-2019 so that it is flat. If you roll over the orange/red rectangles for each country you can see expected deaths, excess deaths, and % of excess deaths. Long term the US is seeing about 10% excess deaths (mostly in the 40% of unvaccinated) since COVID was introduced.

That is why you can also see a negative number of excess deaths lower down the page.

> I’ll be honest, having spent time reviewing the data for the better part of two years ... I don’t know if anything can be obtained from excess deaths.

How come? Excess deaths doesn't point fingers to death from a coronavirus infection but rather to death from the COVID situation as a whole.

The lock down also reduced deaths related to car and workplace accidents.

> It's not clear why a DAW would need an intermediary in this case, other than something analogous to the VCV Rack 2 Pro VST instrument host.

Because the modules are written to do single sample processing, which creates some design imperatives that are quite different from those used by regular audio plugin APIs where blocks of samples are passed around.

"But, " you may say, " isn't single sample processing just passing around blocks of samples with a size == 1?"

Well, sure, technically that's true, but you don't write code the same way if you know that the size is always 1.

Ergo, you're going to need something to execute the modules in a single-sample style, not block structured. That intermediate will be functionally identical to Rack.

Rack's API is completely open source, and anybody else could reimplement it. It would be horrible as a general audio plugin API, but it's pretty good for "rack modules".
