I can understand why you'd get that impression by only looking at the top 40, there's a thriving middle ground of artists that are popular enough to do national/world tours but don't get radio play. Rock and folk are hugely popular (under the "indie" label). The metal scene is thriving. There are young musicians pushing the boundaries of jazz. Electronic music is huge and has more subgenres than anyone can count. The cost of creating and distributing music has fallen massively in the last two decades. More music is being made now than ever before, and small artists are able to reach audiences that would never have been possible just 10-15 years ago.

There's also the fact that it's a lot harder to identify what will be have long-term impact in the moment. To cherry pick a couple examples from those lists, nobody was talking about Nick Drake in 1969. I want to say he sold something like a total of <5000 albums by the time he died. Similarly, Green Day didn't really see widespread success until the 90's. I'm sure there are plenty of currently unknown artists who released their first albums last year who will go on to see mainstream success in the future.

I'd also add that the 2021 list doesn't even seem like a great representation of what was popular last year. It pretty much entirely ignores hip hop which has been one of the most commercially dominant genres behind pop the last few years and produces a huge number of hits.
Surely the onus is on the person claiming it's tampered?

Everyone is having these really interesting conversations... but no one has explained what Wordle is :(
This program actually inadvertently created a quite philosophical discussion amongst my friends! Some of them contended that writing a program to solve wordle sucked the joy out of the process of solving it, even if I solved the puzzle myself, first.
Is this a niche waiting to be exploited?
Except the previous thread doesn't seems to support this narrative.

My view is that Good Music are timeless, and Good music we have over time are cumulative. Which means as we progress, new good music will have to compete with old good music. And the bar are set a little higher, which reduce the amount of good music we can make. But then a lot of music revenue are made by cult / era / marketing following. So in theory there should always been a market for new music.

Someday may be we have old music operating on digital freemium model. And then Old music will truly be competing against new music.

I recently discovered https://expmag.com but can't really tell yet, since it's too fresh in my bookmarks. I enjoyed the article about clothes in landfills though (mentioned a while ago on HN).
While NATO militaries still use HF radio systems, in the past 10-15 years increasingly anything that requires over the horizon comms has been built to use two way narrowband satellite instead. Iridium, or narrowband to a number of differnt types of geostationary DoD satellites (or geostationary capacity owned/controlled by UK or Australia), or things like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_User_Objective_System

For something like Iridium you need an antenna with all of its gain aimed as much straight upwards as possible and tuned for the 1400 to 1700 MHz range.

Relying on the HF band to be clean and perform as needed at a randomly chosen location and point in time may be less likely than being able to move the same data by narrowband satellite. Particularly with advancements in ultra low bitrate voice codecs.

There's an irony to this comment I suspect you may miss...
Yes. The public good derived from sane EHR interoperability would be enormous. Lower costs, better treatments, more informed policies...

But there are lots of political barriers. NHS is trying, and pretty open to private tenders. I'm actually working on a very related field.

Smaller or more atomized healthcare systems than NHS would be probably even difficult to deal with initially.

This is great feedback for typographers. Font Spring's[1] license is pretty nice. I just finished the first draft of license[2] for the upcoming Berkeley Mono typeface. Basically, we want people to enjoy using the typeface with zero worries. Our license is very generous (See §2. in [2]) - all uses allowed whether it is personal (non-commercial) or commercial license. We don't care if it is used in avionics, etched on nuclear power plant control panels or used to build your next operating system. eBooks, apps, servers, datacenters, whatever...with Personal license, you can do anything that is not deemed as commercial or business activity with explicit exceptions of professional use when working for your employer. With commercial license, you can do anything except modify the typeface. Absolutely no tracking, no webviews, no urls, no logomark restrictions, no app-install counts. I also understand why folks like Lineto[3] have so many restrictions - they're a big foundry and have big clients, but they should make provisions for smaller clients.

Japan's metro is an actual mess. Doesn't work perfectly fine, but it is definitely good for a private network of old lines.
Super cool to see a description of how Wolfram is compiled. I've used the Wolfram language for a long time but never really took a peak inside.

Some thoughts:

- The paper seems to suggest that compilation of scripting languages is not widely used outside academia. In fact, it's super common - all major browsers do it for JavaScript.

- What they call "soft failure mode" is what I would call "OSR exit" or what others would call "deoptimization". It's neat to know that Wolfram does this!

- I love that they designed a new IR rather than trying to reuse something else, or worse, trying to run optimizations over bytecode or AST. Also great that they go straight to SSA. The MExpr->WIR->TWIR->code pipeline is similar to what happens in JavaScriptCore's DFG compiler. We use the term "DFG IR" to refer to both the typed and untyped form, but it's exactly the same idea as what they're doing.

- They could use better benchmarks and more of them. Simple compilers do well on small benchmarks. Once workloads get very large and complex, you start to add even more crazy to the compiler. You learn a ton when your benchmark corpus goes to 1,000,000 LoC or beyond.

- The fact that there are thousands of tests makes me say "awww how cute". JavaScriptCore has close to 100,000 tests. But, thousands of tests is better than no tests, and of course different folks mean different things by "one test" - it's possible that one of their tests covers the equivalent of what 100s of our tests would cover.

Anyway, congratulations are in order - this is great work. It's always fun to see new compiler work for interesting languages, and Wolfram definitely qualifies as a particularly interesting language.

Ask HN: How can open source apps support collaboration without cloud fees?
Cloud computing provides a convenient way to collaborate with others.

But it is not free and having an open source app require fees for collaboration is problematic.
If you really want to see terrible noise in a big metro area, look at a spectrum analyzer and the 900 MHz band noise floor in a major metro area from things like intercoms, baby monitors, smart grid power meter systems, etc.

Best seen if you have something like a fairly "high" gain 3 to 4 foot length single polarity yagi tuned for 890-920 MHz and can connect it so a spectrum analyzer, and sweep it around.

It's a minor miracle that something like low bitrate LoRA in 915 MHz works at all in a major US city.

I'm not impressed with Authy's privacy policy, especially this part which mirrors the Google issues:[3]

Good question. My SO and I both got sick with (what we decided was) the flu back in the early 2000s ... and it took us both over a month to feel normal (not continually fatigued) again. I don't think I've ever seen such things addressed anywhere - so maybe this will fix that.
Being pedantic isn't necessary, it's obvious from the context that I meant food service.
Bounds for storage are known when it is allocated. CHERI puts those bounds into the pointers (which double in size so they can fit), and has the processor do the runtime checks at every dereference. So, same effect as the proposal you reference, AFAICS -- just without altered syntax.
They failed immensely when they didn't raise the subway fare alongside the minimum wage earlier in the last few years.

That was the perfect time. It's incredibly cheap still.
So if you know about markdown-here (I didn't know about it, slightly tempted to try it out within Thunderbird, after seeing your post) -- are there any shortcomings? Any reasons you ask for a "native-markdown" client instead of using this? Just interested.

It is amazing that someone who has been unfriendly (sometimes in a nasty political manner) to so many people still has a cult following him and is ostensibly a CoC proponent, now that the CoC is used to protect the inner circle.

I has this happen to me. My org had a set of promotion opportunities that went to a cohort of engineers who'd also been gamed into working above level but for a longer time.

All my feedback was along the lines of "you're great, but next time"

When I, and about 15 others left over the same two week period as the results of those promotions were made public it was a BIG shock to the biz. Sadly I hear they are just blaming culture at the lower levels rather than the HR team who do this.
Since the product liability reforms of the 80s and 90s, makers of industrial equipment haven't been able to do that. https://hbr.org/1987/09/product-liability-youre-more-exposed...

> Liability insurance premiums remain a tremendous burden for businesses in many industries. Legislation aimed at limiting liability, enacted just last year, has been declared unconstitutional. Moreover, some U.S. courts are moving toward standards that will actually increase liability, even for businesses not at fault under the traditional legal doctrines.

Secondly, consider who is bound by this agreement? The person who purchased it? or the person who is operating it? Watch the video that I linked - https://youtu.be/NdN577BbnSY . The case study begins at 21:43 with a Massey tractor and a Brush Hog mower. Pay close attention to the design in the guarding claims at 33:48 and the lessons at 43:17.

Product liability for industrial equipment can't just be signed away by the person purchasing it.

Don't get me wrong - I am for right to repair. It has impacts across many areas including national security, food security, and hobbyist interest. But I believe that we need to revisit product liability for industrial equipment when that comes into place... and when self driving cars come out and if you are allowed to load your own software on the car who do you think will be liable for a crash under current law? Who is responsible for showing that the (destroyed) vehicle had software modifications that went beyond the legally allowed changes (emissions, top speed, acceleration, etc...)?

I am for right to repair - I am concerned that the approaches that right to repair is using now ignores existing law and liabilities and will result in a much higher legal costs for manufacturers for repairs that they are forced to allow until the corresponding laws catch up to place the liability for changes to equipment back on the people who make and install those after market changes. And that in turn will cause a limiting of innovation and advancement in those areas and rolling back of other advancements to the point where the manufacturer can reasonably assume liability for changes that the purchaser may make.
Man, I was so excited by that Jeopardy win. I fired up my Eclipse Prolog and went through a few example from "A Gentle Guide to Constraint Logic Programming via ECLiPSe", http://www.anclp.pl/, and Bratko. It would have been such a win for Prolog if IBM Watson did well. See https://www.cs.nmsu.edu/ALP/2011/03/natural-language-process... for more context

Wikipedia entry for orange-collar workers: "Prison laborers, named for the orange jumpsuits commonly worn by inmates." [0]

The article also defines pink collar workers (service workers in the working class) and purple collar workers (principally white collar workers who occasionally do blue collar tasks, like technicians and engineers; note there's no citation for this).

I personally don't think the other colors mentioned in the Wikipedia are useful, since the whole idea of blue vs. white collar seems to be a metaphor of referring to manual labour to office work.

The Brush Hog case that I mentioned elsewhere had a protective plate removed (it was apparently commonly removed by farmers) and attached to an older tractor. When the operator (not the owner who made the change) was mutilated from the mower, Brush Hog was liable because it wasn't harder to remove that safety plate.
Kylie Jenner speaks on Sleeping With Drake Drake is arguably the biggest rapper in the world, so it is not a surprise that he is constantly on the lips of everyone. This is something he is probably used to. However, it is a bit different this time as the Toosie Slide crooner is trending for something very controversial. Yes, Drake has been accused by a woman, Marilyn Nichols, who claims to be a Baby Mama of Tristan Thompson of sleeping with Kylie Jenner.

Not to revive the Unicode wars again, but a big portion of Python 3's disaster transition to Unicode wasn't caused by "strings being surprisingly hard", but more rather the Python 3 team having chosen an unworkable text model which multiple people (including me, way back in 2005) all said wouldn't work in practice. Our hard-earned experience was ignored, and it took a long time for future Python editions to eat crow and roll back their mistakes.

A large part of why Python 3.6 is a better port target than 3.0 is because they slowly and silently stepped away from their very strong opinions about "what is text", and "what is bytes", and what each of those things meant. Even back when the model was debated, it was clear that the operations the core maintainers cared about (manipulation of individual codepoints [0]) was a dead-end, as the Unicode Standards committee was just about realizing that codepoints weren't an ideal unit, and grapheme clusters were added to the spec. (my dates might be a bit off here, it's all a blur I've mostly forgotten)

Python 3.0 was released as basically a completely nonfunctional piece of software. You basically couldn't write anything that touched a binary file in it. The built-in zipfile module, I remember, crashed if you tried to store or load a binary file stored inside a .zip, the only tests at the time stored .txt files, and the bug wasn't fixed for a long time. I remember others having troubles with the email and mime modules, though I didn't have any code that worked with those, personally.

I had left the community by that point, but I have heard tales of the mountains Armin Ronacher had to move in order to add the u'' prefix back to Python 3; the core team was against it, instead believing that if 2to3 wasn't working for people, it should be fixed. Alice Bevan–McGregor spent years making a version of the WSGI specification that worked with Python 3's text model. We honestly could have shaved 5-6 years off of that disaster if they had just listened to the community; pretty much every opinion we had shared eventually came true, and the Python 3 text model these days is in a very different, and much healthier, place.

[0] One of their major strongholds was that they really needed O(1) indexing of codepoints (it wasn't clear why this was a priority, and I remember arguing that wanting this is a sign of poorly written code). I think in Python 3.8 they finally caved on this, with a PEP and an implementation that can use UTF-16 or UTF-8 internally.

I've been using multiple accounts for years, almost every part of the UI has the ability to switch between accounts. Youtube even still has the old Youtube account available from before the Google+ era, and switching to it is painless.

There could be many useful and useless reasons for why accounts get flagged, but using multiple accounts isn't one in my experience.
