Coqui (https://github.com/coqui-ai) is a great open-source STT resource you could start with. They have a lot of docs explaining how everything works and has a low barrier to entry.
Their insider trading a very small problem compared to the problem of the perverted incentive to steer legislation in a direction that helps their portfolio.
This is great.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how important it is to have someone who makes other people important on a team. I've seen a lot of pseudo-teams where everyone is trying to slay their own dragons.

It's hard to be the guide, though. Some people don't think they need help. Selfishness can be the norm, so people don't learn to accept help. Fake sincerity makes it hard to make genuine connections.

The most difficult part of trying to focus on others, for me, is that people still heap things onto my plate. No one makes time for being a guide or a leader for ICs. Managers seem to be too busy in meetings to focus on people.

Is it feasible to find jobs where this sort of attitude is taken seriously?

Super-simple, IMO. “Hey (ghostee) - we met a while back at (conference), and I saw you posted a role that I would love to chat with you about”. They ghost you? Cant take offense at that. They respond? You all are off to the races. Don’t overthink this.
I haven't yet found any reason to hate systemd. If I ever do I'll be happy to have options.
It could, but hasn't been - and GNOME is hostile to users/devs doing such things so it probably never will.
Great !

I'd be willing to pay a premium if it has an HDMI input.

I don't know how hard this is though, it might be outright impossible.

This way I could use it as a healthier screen as well.
GPL has been enforced in court though. So I don't really agree. Licenses are legal contracts, and brach of contract should be taken to court.

The problem is that... they aren't, really at all. That's the actual problem that needs fixing.
Based on data from disclosures, it seems that the democrats invest way smarter than republicans. I wonder who has more income when entering congress, vs who ends up making more per term. Are democrats actually wealthier, or do they just better use their inside knowledge.
Yes, those are (almost certainly) ELF, not "a.out format." The "file" command will confirm that.

The so-called "a.out format" is the format used by the very first tools to generate a.out files. Compilers still generate files named a.out if you don't specify a specific name, but they're in some other more useful format these days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.out

I hate to cherry-pick, but the comment on cross-platformness being a developer issue isn't always the case. I use Linux for everything, and an app being cross-platform increases the likelihood that I can use it.

Windows and Mac users are typically catered for.
Should probably add wireless licence plates while they at it.

All of this tech is useful and reasonable so long they can protect it - cryptographically secure of course, maybe isolate what car manufacturer vs police can do.

If big tech can track everything you do I don't see why government shouldn't have more power than the pieces of shit working in fucking Google selling you out.

Signal uses sender certificates and end to end signing the messages. Even if you don't set a pin to enable registration lock and someone steals your phone number temporarily without you noticing and they know who to send the forged messages to everyone will get a big warning message about the key being changed and to verify it's the other person.

Unless you just mean completely invent evidence on a controlled device in which case sure just edit the local message database like you would anything.

How much is fair compensation for a Congressperson? $250K? $500K? $1M? Why not even more? They certainly have a lot more power and responsibility than a CEO or sports coach who is paid many times that.

The problem is that there isn't a free market which any politician's salary can be determined by. Someone can't decide they don't like the salary in the US Senate and apply to the Canadian Parliament instead.

Plus, these salaries aren't that much out of line compared to other Federal government employees. The benefits are what really keeps them in the job.
Which part of the legal text indicates that?
I remember the stack of disks, each with different categories of apps. (around 1998 or 1999) Good times. Though I did later pick up a RedHat set at First Friday in Dallas later, and using the CD drive was a nice change :-)

I have had many, let’s say tens, interactions with police. Several as the victim of crimes - including violent crimes.

I have had exactly one positive experience with one police officer, which I would characterize as that officer doing an acceptable job.

I have never seen compelling evidence of your last claim. But I have seen extensive evidence that shows the negative impact of we police, evidence which aligns closely with my experiences.
No they did not. They made an observation about a related field.

Mentally: It is that hard. Executive dysfunction and ADHD are both fully understood physiological disorders that are only the domain of psych because the symptoms are psychological in their manifestation.

A would wager a fair amount of these people will be doomscrolling because they essentially have too little, or too much, dopamine, and while there are ways to get the body to prompt creation of it, often there are tangible problems in the number of neurotransmitters or the amount that is created that can cause this.

For example: Often I want to take a shower, but end up sitting on my bed for hours, essentially unable to move to complete my task. I wondered for a long time if this was me, if I just tried hard enough, maybe I could beat it. But the fact is, it isn't -- it's a tangible and measurable problem with the way my body functions that stops me from being able to move to complete the task.

The poster's description of this above sounds extremely, alarmingly similar to my experience, and those of my friends and coworkers with it. Personally, I wonder whether the widespread, common, and societally endorsed distribution of caffeine and nicotine -- both stimulants, have effects on the developing child. It would explain the sheer prevalence of it, and also the prevalance of the stimulants, as stimulants are drugs that are prescribed for managing ADHD* :)

* - most people who are diagnosed are found to already be weakly medicating themselves with stimulants!
This is my favorite new thing of the day. Thanks!
That's not how you read legal text. You can't just omit parts of the law to fit what you want.
> Unless I've got my history wrong, our dominant standard for what's considered free software or open source, the Debian Free Software Guidelines (later repackaged as the Open Source Definition, wasn't the result of some kind of broad consensus among developers, users, and/or distributors. As badsectoracula pointed out [1] [2], source-available licenses with restrictions used to be more common. But Debian was always strongly aligned with the FSF's ideology; if I'm not mistaken, it was originally funded by the FSF, and of course, the full name of the main Debian distro is Debian GNU/Linux.

The OSI (and indeed the whole open source movement) was formed explicitly as a counter to the FSF from people with a different ideological position. They were by no means temperamentally inclined to follow Debian; they adopted a virtually identical definition of open-source because it's the only one that works.
Bad bad cookie dialog on that page.
based on what metric? Do we know have evidence of them voting for their own portfolio vs trading their info? Based on data i've seen, it seems more likely that they're insider trading. (Except for republicans trying to support fossil fuel legislation...)
I think it’s in poor taste to theme your site to look like HN. Feels a little close to phishing.
A couple of years ago I ran into the same confusion of the "TeletexString"/"T61String" data type in ASN.1. After going down the rabbit hole of what is T.61 and trying to map it to Unicode, I reread the ASN.1 (X.690) spec and realized that the authors never actually referenced T.61. Ever since the first edition of ASN.1 in 1988, those strings have not used T.61. They use a character set that is easily mapped to Unicode - https://www.itscj-ipsj.jp/ir/102.pdf, a subset of US ASCII.

Not to say the rest of the spec is notably better. If fully implemented, it requires supporting escape codes in strings to change character sets. I've never seen valid escape codes in real world data, but it probably exists.

As the original article shows, ASN.1 has lots of other challenges and complexity. Trying to write a code generator that supports all the complexity is no trivial task and the only open source one I've seen only generates C code. Protobuf has the advantage of having modern language support (including multiple type safe and memory safe languages).

I would just explain the situation and apply:

I quickly decamped off to Debian as soon as apt came into the picture because "install everything or do your own dependencies" was not palatable, but I'm amazed there's still this very independent distribution out there. I never expected it to last so long.
Yes, I agree. We have talked about adding HDMI input, and we would like to incorporate it so that the laptop can serve different needs and use cases.
No, that was the plot against governor Whitmer.
> If I pay someone $100 to come clean my house and they take my money and don't clean my house

The difference is it's your house and the scope of work is completely defined by you. It's not complicated.

- If they don't clean because they're sick, you're the one they tell.

- If they didn't clean because they were busy unclogging the toilet, you're the one who should know.

- If they didn't clean because they're waiting on a mold removal treatment, you're the one who should know.

You rarely have the whole picture in a work environment between HR, layers of supervisors, differing titles with differing scope of work....

-

And to the rest of your comment, I'm a tech lead with direct reports. I cannot imagine what kind of manager you have to be dealing with for them to take exception with quality insights such as "I keep getting blocked on X by Y" vs vague claims of "doing nothing and obfuscating".

After all, the end result is strictly better for everyone involved:

- you now have something actionable to bring to the "slacking" coworker, HR, and/or their skip level

- the blocked coworker has now communicated the fact they were blocked and you can work on recovery from that

- you can better establish patterns if this is an intermittent problem...

Sometimes bringing form to intangibles is a big part of your job, but if we're saying someone is literally doing nothing for a year... in any half-functional organization that should result in tangible, actionable blockages.
If it doesn't fit into a data standard you are enforcing, it shouldn't exist in the database. There is nothing wrong with capturing the original text in a field or separate table.
Wow! I don't blame today's students. The virtual environment would not be what one expects when dedicating their life to schooling.
> cede Ukraine to Russia, cede Taiwan to China

First, Ukraine and Taiwan are independent themselves. No one can cede them to any other. One can refuse to offer helping hands when they are needing them.

Second, get your facts straight. There had not been evidence, I mean evidences that not manufactured by the Iraq WMD type nonsense, that Russia or China really planning to invadr Ukraine or Taiwan.
Can you share some of these cases or research?
It’s worth high lifting the summarize pattern in your experiences.

Police unwilling to meet the basic needs of doing law enforcement. In each case you asked for obvious and basic effort at investigating crimes and they just opted out.

It begs the question what are they doing instead?
Not only dosage, but set and setting shape the psychedelic experience. Context creates meaning; so an entheogen taken in a party setting will have predictably trivial, forgettable effects—while the same dose done in a sacred context can result in a deep, unforgettable experience laden with insight.
While technically my first Linux was a generic boot/root floppy pair in late 1995, my first distro was Slackware in 1996. I've used Red Hat, SuSE, OSX, Solaris, Unixware and (rarely) Windows since then - but last night I updated my home PC to Slack 15RC3...
I used to use Slackware back in maybe 2003-2005. It was great. Eventually migrated to Ubuntu but I always appreciated that it got me hooked on Linux.

Now that I think about it I think Unraid uses Slackware, so I guess I'm still running it.
They really aren't. You are implying that highly paid people are automatically more honest, but reality often shows the opposite. There are unlimited opportunities for corruption in these roles, and whether someone decides to act on it or not isn't dependent on them making $125K vs $250K in salary.
i enjoy your project , thank you
It’s so dreary and annoying that I even prefer the orange and blue blockbuster color grading in comparison.
It's possible to make cross-platform apps look native, but it's much harder work to make cross-platform apps act native. For example, there are themes that make an XFCE desktop look like Mac OS 9 or Windows 2000, but it doesn't make applications behave like native Mac OS 9 or Windows 2000 applications. This is not just a criticism of Electron; this criticism extends to many other cross-platform toolkits. Using non-native controls, for example, has accessibility consequences if the cross-platform toolkit does not properly hook with the native platform's accessibility API.

A cross-platform toolkit that implemented compliant looks and behaviors across all of its supported platforms would be an amazing thing.
It looks like they're keeping the core of the workflow, but refining it further than the current GNOME extension they develop can.

The bigger thing is that GNOME is making it harder and harder to customize and extend, which is a problem for System 76 for obvious reasons.
Gentoo offers both systemd or OpenRC depending on preference

systemd in Gentoo has come a long way and generally has parity with OpenRC now.
It is far more likely that they're insider trading, but the point is that the magnitude of the negative consequence is vastly different. If they insider trade and make $5 million, that's money stolen from other market participants. Bad, for sure, but the scope of the damage is limited to that stolen $5 million. If it corrupts policymaking by creating a conflict of interest, the scope of damage is uncapped.

I've got a source code copy of Kusari that says the GPL does work. We live in a society, most people aren't bad actors to the extent that they'll outright break the law.
Many of the most useful open source projects are corporate driven. The only thing holding those companies to the usual set of licenses and provisions rather than something that would be much less open is the Schelling fence of the “open source” definition. Throw the door open to a thousand different idiosyncratic licenses and they too will abandon Apache, BSD, and MIT.
To everyone who attempts to engage with this problem with a clear head despite the emotional difficulty of doing so: thank you.
There's a lot of talk of making the world better in the silicon valley sphere, good for it to touch the concrete of what we're up against.

None of that has any bearing on what I said. If anything, having an MS and mid-level experience only make it easier for you than most.

But you’ve been complaining about your job for months and you’re still there. And you talk about all other jobs like they’re beneath you.
I suggest that you spend some time at certain popular bars inside the beltway where you can hear drunk staffers flapping their lips. You will quickly learn that our elected representatives have virtually no responsibility whatsoever beyond maintaining the charade that the USA is in any way a democracy.

The schoolhouse rock look at me I’m a bill thing isn’t even wrong anymore. There’s not a single “legislator” who actually writes legislation anymore. They literally just broker their signatures (those brokers are called lobbyists) to the parties that actually write the laws. It’s a painful bandaid to rip off, but that’s how the system actually operates.
that's a great little game!

> I find it particularly soul-crushing because I do have things that I consciously want to do during that time, like write music and film short films, but those things take effort and commitment, so instead I spend night after night doomscrolling Twitter/Reddit/YouTube/HN.

The things that you want to do might be too difficult to begin. Some part of your brain doesn't know that you can write music or make films successfully enough to gain any reward. The mental hurdle is very big if you just stare at a blank sheet music.

Instead, start with something smaller and more structured. Take some lessons, for instance, and do assignments which you know will lead to some form of product.

Ah, apologies for not explaining more.

What I meant was that if a congressperson says "I will buy $100 worth of $SMALLCO in two weeks", that would artificially increase the price of that stock, and the congressperson would get less money / traders would profit slightly by selling shares they got cheaply.

This effect is what I thought you were concerned about. Such an effect can only happen if these known trades are a significant fraction of the market cap, or the activity, on that stock.

The reason I'm talking about small cap stocks is that those are the only ones I think such side-effects would occur on, and such manipulation wouldn't really be feasible for things like large index funds or AAPL or such.

Hopefully it makes sense what I'm trying to say now? It would indeed have severe negative side effects for a subset of possible trades, but I don't think those trades are reasonable ones to make.
> If the last decade is any indication, skilled labor - especially those not afraid to own their own business, are set to make a killing.

It's almost always been this way. I remember a reading a quote from a prolific 19th century author (whose name I can no longer find online, thanks to broken phrase searching in Google) complaining about enterprising carpenters earning more than his government salary.

The issue is that it's not an apples to apples comparison. Small business owners who provide blue collar services can make significantly more than salaried white collar workers. However, runnig a small business requires a completely different set of skills, and the percentage of blue collar workers who can do their trade and run a successful small business is far lower than the percentage of people doing blue collar work.
