Probably not. It's not rocket science. There's even open-source implementations [1, 2] that can do it for you. Basically you take two microphones, one close to the mouth and one farther away, and try to compute the difference. I have no idea why it's not there. I'm quite baffled, actually.

If the market is as intelligent as the gravitationally wealthy sitting at the top want to make it out to be, then we should be able to solve that no problem through hard work, bootstraps, ingenuity, and whatever marketing term Volkswagen has decided to pimp.

If you think that people who are sitting at the bottom wouldn't take a job to ensure that their basic needs are met and they can have something nice for themselves every once in a while, then I don't know what to tell you. People didn't just start working degrading jobs in the 2010s.
I've also seen within the same organization how such people are treated.

For example janitorial workers. At an old workplace of mine there were three shifts of at least two workers three during the day. Then they were cut to just one worker per day and evening no nights. One person frantically running from bathroom to bathroom not even getting to the other tasks that had to do like vacuuming.

Then they cut their hours to part-time for all but two workers. At minimum wage it was barely livable on 40 hours per week.

They also ask the night worker to come in the next day with less than a seven hour gap from the previous shift.

Even at the punch clock they were scolded for punching in or out a mere 1 minute off from the time to work or end.

I could tell when talking to the staff many of them felt defeated and this was the only job they could do. They just had to sit there and take it.

Guaranteed income (GI) would at least buffer some of the anxiety. I could also see businesses knowing it existed would cut worker hours to part-time. But if part-time plus GI was enough then the worker has the power.
"a capitalist society" is not a binary attribute. There can be elements of capitalism and elements of "socialism".

Private property can coexist with government supplied housing for instance.

In the "capitalist" USA a lot of the military industrial complex lives off government handouts. Why not the people too? The cakes and cookies we should earn ourselves, the meat and potatoes (and housing) should be a right for every citizen
When saying it positively I often say UTSL instead (Use The Source, Luke).
Well, no, it's actually pretty simple, you could sell half of it to jumpstart the ecosystem, and you still own half of it.
Probably all of the processing is being made in the headphones itself, latency makes it difficult to do on the phone.
> who saw no indications of such a behavioural effect.

One wonders what he was seeing.

I used to know a fellow who would get himself laid off as soon as he'd worked long enough to qualify for unemployment. Then he would fail to get a job until the unemployment ran out, then he'd get a job. He lived for many years like this.

He had no interest in working. He was quite open about what he was doing.

I agree that it's nice to pay. Spotify Premium has been a staple for years. Discover Weekly is really nice at least. Although once the week rolls over .. it's all gone unless I manually saved it! I've missed out on many songs due to that.

Sadly the article implies an internal shift towards ads. Hopefully it's just speculation or not a huge shift.

> look at the barriers that regulation throws against the average person to keep them from the most lucrative investments (like required accreditation)

If anything, the accredited investor standard is proof that regulation doesn't favor the powerful. Taken as a whole, those aren't the most lucrative investments. They're the riskiest. The whole theory behind it is that if somebody is rich enough we won't try to protect them as much from scams; they're presumed to be sufficiently sophisticated and well resourced that it's their own problem.

I agree inflation is a problem, but you can't use that to prove much about the regulatory system, because a) inflation was low and stable for a long time, only increasing due to pandemic-driven disruptions, b) the wealthy are the ones yelling the loudest about pinching off inflation pronto, and c) the classic way to stop an inflationary surge is performative "austerity", which is much more disruptive to the poor than to the rich.
Yes. Because the people most likely to quit are the people at the bottom. We need a lot of bottom tier workers to run society. See how much stuff falls apart right now with the labor shortage.

But for me and a lot of people, apple's walled garden is a feature, not a bug. I don't see why apple should be forced to change it just because YOU don't like it, when it is not like you're forced to have an iOS device.
I love Graphviz! It’s in the Observable standard library as the dot tagged template literal, powered by Viz.js.

https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/dot

Here’s a recent example where I used it to figure out why certain dependencies are in my node_modules:

I found the learning curve to be quite steep with few examples of graphs that looked well-designed. By default, large graphs look like crap because engineers designed it, not designers (it takes both!).

However, that was back in the late 90's. Now the internet has many examples of better looking layouts, but it is still disappointing that they don't look ... designed?

But integration and automation are great. Like GNUPlot, which I've used for decades because it is so easy to automate once you learn how to make plots look better than the default.

GStreamer uses DOT output by default. But any reasonably sized pipeline is almost impossible to read without excessive zooming. But it gets the job done.

I've also seen this issue on regular LCD TVs with HD streams. It can get really pronounced in scenes with slow camera movement where a static dark background turns into a blocky, jumpy mess of compression artifacts.
I've also read that many people find a way to qualify for disability, and then never work again.
Oh yes, they do :)
> List comprehension syntax

If I'm not mistaken Python was one of the first main-ish programming languages which made list comprehensions a thing, imo there's nothing wrong with their syntax. kwargs are also pretty cool.
Writing on the DevTerm
In the U.S. that would be a very good outcome. 15% of American households experience food insecurity. We absolutely want these people to spend it, not save it.

Even stimulus checks that were small and arrived irregularly had a huge impact on hunger in America. $1000/mo on the regular would be revolutionary.
Then many of those people can go work in ways of their choosing. Surely providing more value to themselves, their families, and society as a whole.

This is basically Plato's Republic 101.
These are the alien geometries on other dimensions that lead to madness in Lovecraft's work, right?
I'm not a luddite. I think that automation is good, but I don't think that it makes humans permanently redundant. The human skill set is too diverse. Automation should be encouraged, not taxed, because it makes society wealthier and more productive.
> What atheists call "no god," some thesist call "a god of their own definition."

And that's wrong, just on a basic level, and it's part of those theists being incapable of understanding a worldview without theism. They can't understand my philosophy, so they're compelled to shove me into a box they can understand, and then refuse to listen when I tell them their worldview is making them comprehensively misinterpret what I'm saying.

(And, no, a person can't dictate someone else's own philosophy to them. No matter how condescending that dictation is.)
Apple's stance was (IIRC from my days as a mobile dev--it may have since changed) was instead of side-loading of apps, that there is the web, and people would be free to utilize webapps.

ios Safari puts in place some limitation (sandboxing, constraint device apis) to guard against malicious actors, but it is not curated the same way ios App Store is.

Using UBI to eliminating minimum wage, government unemployment insurance, and other problematic/expensive programs is one of my favorite parts of UBI.
Can you show some of these? My research has shown the opposite

I'm opposed to paying people not to work.

Humans and automation coexist. It's not as if all the engineers that used slide-rules and graphing paper went homeless when AutoCAD was invented. Same with farmers and the tractor. Society gets richer as automation makes our labor more efficient.

Agreed. The current state is the most awful for the powerless. At least this change evens the playing field a bit so that when $HUGE_CORP gets burned they will raise enough hell to (hopefully) fix the process.
Lovely!

It's just missing the part where half way through, osx and xcode updates and your existing app no longer builds on your machine nor runs on anyone else's.

My ascerbic observations about the platform aside, I love this, both in it's current context, and would have loved it at the time. Thank you!
Yeah brushed metal from the experiments in Panther was still too present. It got better with Leopard.

Cocoa apps are mostly fine in modern macOS. Their main issues are the lack of contrast*, but things like the dark theme are great. From what I have seen SwiftUI is fine too, although it still has some way to go to catch up with AppKit, and has some rough edges. Catalyst is plain garbage, though.

* a pet peeve: I have to click 3 times when I want to make sure that the shuffle mode is either on or off in Music. Another one: document proxy icons are getting hidden and harder to use, even though they are a fantastic feature of the OS. There's a bunch of others features that are becoming more and more obscure, which is a damn shame.
I do, on my own domain, because it's easier to train the filter within the client, but mainly because that client is the only place I access that email account.
Sounds like a shitty company if they just straight out fire you because of that. They should have worked with you first, tried to identify the reason for this mismatch of expectations.

Speed depends on external factors too, did you have the resources available to succeed ? Was the problem well defined and well understood by you ? Were someone available to ask if you needed additional information? Were your manager following up on your issues? Did requirements change, was this expected and understood? Were your expectations aligned with regards to prioritizing production speed versus quality versus documentation?
Believe it or not, poor people generally don't buy football tickets. If their TVs were made by UBI workers, then they wouldn't be able to afford those either. Material things would become scarce again due to the artificially inflated cost of labour. You're basically rewinding all of the gains in productivity we've made by imposing a high floor.

CEOs aren't paid a lot because the assume risk, they're paid a lot because business leadership is hard, and good leaders are scarce. I also don't know of many CEOs at large companies whose job I would classify as "enjoyable".

> Every man and their granny will be a CEO of a one person company

Then we'll need a new word for "company" as it's meant today. Also no one is stopping anyone from being an independent contractor, which is basically this. I'm not sure I'm following.
That’s true, I remember being a bit confused when I found that Windows was extremely picky about what it booted from, with weird hacks being required to boot a Win2K or XP installer from anything other than an optical disc. Both OS 9 and OS X were pretty lax about that.
Real estate, employee talent, brand value, business knowledge, .. You could do a whole lot with that.
Anecdotes are not data, but I was in the Gifted And Talented program in high school and I sure did not become either of those. I'm eking out a living as an obscure freelance artist. A lot of my friends are former G/T kids who did not live up to their supposed promise, too.

It got me some interesting opportunities here and there but I am fundamentally kind of a slacker :)
Does not seem to authenticate scores in any way - I observed this yesterday in the network tab, but it seems someone else has taken advantage of it, and spammed the leaderboards with political messages and a rickroll.

I am curious what the best way to prevent this is without account creation? Maybe store all the data of the run, so it can be simulated serverside and have its score validated?
As an American, I'm pretty much on my own for even knowing what the Goon Show is, let alone Brown Windsor Soup. I even met Harry Secombe once in the late 90's at a hotel in Bournemouth, and nobody knows who the heck I'm talking about when I mention it.
The GDPR pop-up on this blog is among the scummiest, sad to say; the kind that requires you to uncheck 10s of 3rd party trackers.
I had a sibling (he's dead now) who, all his short adult life, would work a job, get a few paychecks in his pocket, then quit and couch surf until the money ran out. Often, he couldn't find a new job and so he would couch surf until his welcome ran out. I am confident, given UBI, he would never have worked.

Now, that being said, I don't believe he represent(ed|s) a majority and actually I am in favor of a UBI. I have friends who I believe it would help out tremendously.

However, I really wish we would get universal HC first. HC expenses, in the not too distant future, will create more hardships than a lack of UBI ever would. And ALL people deserve good healthcare.
If we take out the period between around 2000 and 2010 they have been growing continuously since 1980 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_...)

of course it's not at the same rate as GDP (5x vs 1.5x for personal income).
I agree with you that the Netflix UI is superb for browsing, however I have one major gripe - on Android TV they broke the back button.

I had to hardcode a kill app shortcut just for them.

For all other android tv apps that I have been using so far, the back button works normally, exiting the app at the topmost layer. However, repeated clicks of the back button in netflix UI just re-triggers the menu - part of their dark patterns to make it harder to quit the app...
Would this suffer from the overhead of using WASM, both to make the calls and to transfer the data back to the UI thread?

I'm not sure but I expect it would depend on your use cases. High frequency i/o of small data might be slower compared to low frequency i/o of very large data.

Mind you I'm working off of a cursory understanding of WASM performance issues from 2 years ago. Maybe this has changed a lot, or my understanding was incorrect in the first place. Do you know much about this?
Depends on what we are comparing to.

I used to have a movie rental around the corner. For like 3USD I could rent any movie I wanted from all major publishers. Old and new.

9USD/month for a rather small selection of those is just bad. The buffet fallacy is strong with how people value all you can eat streaming vs. one of rentals.
This is the biggest thing. Indexes are like an extension of array broadcasting to relational data.

And we may have a long discussion about "how to engineer software so that it doesn't need as much support". Theoretically, it can be done; practically, we have all been astonished by Ways of the Common User that no one anticipated, plus you always hit the problem with diversity of hardware.

Apple seems to be pretty user friendly, but Apple products are expensive to boot and Apple does not support their OS on non-Apple hardware.

Some data points: the FIRE movement.

How many people have quit working as soon as they are able?

It is essentially the same question and the answer appears to be quite a few, with a few odd people who are unable to do nothing.
I personally used to be a proponent of UBI, but after 2020 and watching some of the impact of Covid and what increasing government financial payouts has done to employment malaise and to the economy, my skepticism has increased. I am not convinced that the benefits outweigh the costs like I once did.
Same here. We’ve cancelled everything except for Disney+. Well, we also have Amazon prime, but that is mainly for the shipping. We rarely watch anything on Amazon.
Most important questions have multi-causal answers, without additional information I would guess that both "tourism is the economic engine" and "military bases are the economic engine" are likely to be incorrect.

Hawaiian GDP seems to have dropped ~8% in 2020 [1] where tourism spending plummeted let's say 50% [2]. I would expect that Hawaiian military payroll has stayed roughly fixed during the pandemic.

This seems to put an upper bound on tourism at ~20% GDP. Quite high! You would not want to lose it, but not the sole engine of economic success.

In many U.S. states you need not even bother going to court, because of robust "implied warranty of habitability" statutes and precedents. A person who experiences real habitability issues such as no heat, no cooking fuel, doors or windows that don't close and lock, etc after notifying landlords and waiting a reasonable time (which is as short as 24 hours in the case of no heat) can simply hire someone to fix it and deduct the actual cost from rent. It would be on the landlord to initiate legal action, if they disagreed with the outcome. The tenant has no obligation to go through courts.
I imagine that the validity of this research is completely dependent on the particular monetary rewards and other incentives built into the experiment design.

Getting paid $5 to do a boring task for an hour is a totally different ballgame than getting paid $100 for the same. Even moreso after you've done it for 100 hours. And in the context of a a person who is visiting a research lab the incentives to keep participating in the potentially "interesting game" are different than real life.
Am 100 percent with you there - nice and basically decent to work with always trumps the willful disregard for these basic qualities. No matter how skilled they are, or their accomplishments.
Sounds like you're not the audience the blogger was writing for.

Is it April 1 already?

"Whereas gcc’s cleanup attribute is attached to functions, POSIX’ cleanup functions and the try/finally are attached to possibly nested blocks.

This indicates that existing mechanism in compilers may have difficulties with a block model. So we only require it to be implemented for function bodies and make it implementation-defined if it is also offered for internal blocks.

Nevertheless, we think that it is important that the semantics for the feature are clearly specified for the case of blocks, such that all implementations that do offer such a feature follow the same semantics. Therefore it is also a constraint violation to ask for the feature for blocks on implementations that don’t have support for it."

To call this incompetent would be too kind. Completely wrong about the scope of gcc's cleanup attribute, wrong to omit the prior art from Dlang, utterly wrong about what it "indicates", wrong about making it implementation-defined ... and that's just this one section.

“When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.”

It used to be 20. 70s—>50s (American Graffiti, Grease, Happy Days), 80s—>60s (Summer of Love, Touch of Gray, Love Shack), 90s—>70s (Tarantino, lowrise bell bottoms), 00–>80s… When you’re 18-25, your model is the previous generation.
