That's what got me to finally set up a little script to tag, convert, and store music files in apple music. I was getting annoyed not only at entire albums or artists being unavailable on apple music, but also sometimes individual songs, which just seems insane to me.

Now I drag some flac files into a folder, the script converts them to ALAC, tags them from discogs, and adds them to my apple music library, which auto syncs to icloud so I can listen to them on my phone whenever I want. No more "unavailable". I also back the files up to a second location because one time like 10 years ago I think I heard a rumor of itunes randomly deleting files that were added manually without being purchased through the store. Don't know if that's a real thing or not but storage is so cheap it doesn't really matter.
But one does not need citizenship to explode a bomb. How is the law going to help here?
Stop, just stop this nonsense! you know you are using strawman arguments to justify oppresion based on ethnicity, religion or whatever else in the 21st century for crying out loud. How is this supposed to be a well behaved representation of "democracy"? it clearly is not!
In 1994, the bathrooms were still open, and cleaning the bathroom was the worst job you could be assigned.
It will not happen as long as there exists a strong pro-Israel lobby in the US.

Israel passed on confidential US military technology to China and abstained in the Security Council resolution against Russia. That's not the behaviour of a strong ally.
I'm not sure Aseprite is an example to follow - just as they made this license change, a fork of the previous license - LibreSprite - has popped up. It lacks a lot of the features and bugfixes of Aseprite, but hey it's free, and many open source enthusiasts view it as the morally superior version.

This simultaneously shows the weakness of the open-source development model - a non-monetizable passion project can rarely match the quality of something with full-time devs behind it, and probably isn't something that the Aseprite dev(s) are happy about - it sucks to compete against your own product sold for $0.
Doesn't this need a (1999) at the end? This is from before C++11.
This is silly. I want a self-driving car that drives me 95% of the way to the mountains, but allows me to take control on the dirt road that is the last 1-3 miles to the trailhead.
I was taught never to trust eye contact either. They could be looking past you and motorcycle profiles are very low. I'm looking for a stationary front wheel hub. Any movement merits a reaction.

Having an indicator that the car "sees" you would be very interesting.
This is not representattive of modern Java, which has much better APIs. Since Java 11:

public HttpResponse<String> fetch(String url) {
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder(URI.create(url)).build();
return client.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());
}
I just have a custom locale for any UNIX-like systems I use. American English, UTF-8, 24-hour time, RFC-3339 dates, SI units, '.' decimal point, '_' thousands separator. I call it en_ENG, for the fictional land of Engineeristan.
'Israel is slowly losing its support' is a bit of a retelling... even in light of recent public and viral pro-Palestine support, Israel continues to maintain favorability among elected officials and people in America- in fact, favorability toward Israel has only increased since 2019[0]. And policies favoring Israel is not isolated to a federal level; many U.S. states force educators to sign agreements to not criticize Israel.[1] Indeed, I see Americans turn a blind eye to the horrors faced by Palestinians regardless of how many public figures correctly refer to Israel's actions as running the world's largest open-air prison.

Nothing unusual about that. Many states have official religions (like the UK). And pretty much all of Israel's neighbors in the Middle East have official religions.
As I am fond of saying these days: the key fingerprint is the identity. The TLS public key infrastructure (PKI) exists to map an alphanumeric string (domain) to a particular key fingerprint. So for critical stuff involving, say, executable cryptographic code, it would be good if there was a way to specify the fingerprint as well as the domain to the browser in the provided link. Completely inflexible, but that is what you want in this case.

The PKI is great, but there are times when you really don't want to have to trust a third party...
but you got to realise the problem when monetizing off the products of other companies. when it isn't at the detriment of other companies usually everything goes well, but in this case expect to be distracted once more when this service suddenly terminates.
use ublock rules, there is a better chance those will never be taken away from you.
I work on this tool (but I'm not the original author), feel free to ask me questions.
Barrier looks great, but does anyone know why KVM switches with DisplayPort or HDMI are so outrageously expensive? It should just be a switch, no complex electronics, so I truly can't figure out why any KVM should cost more than say $30-50 US.

I suspect DRM or patents for rent seekers are involved somehow. Or maybe they're playing on the naivety of the business community towards this stuff. I'd sure like to know, and also if there are any low-cost or open source KVMs available.

Would you please edit swipes and personal attacks from your comments here? You've been doing it regularly, unfortunately. This is badly against the site guidelines because it poisons the community and undermines everything we're trying for here. Therefore we ban accounts that won't stop doing it. I don't want to ban you, so please stop doing it.

Of course I understand that emotions are justifiably high given the situation. But that makes it more important to follow the rules, not less. It won't do anyone any good if this place burns down.

Sometimes people are apprehensive to say that they don't know. They will start searching, trying to figure out if they should know, if they forgot something, etc. Plus, sometimes it takes other person's involvement (so we are on the same page) to get the right answer.
Good. Blocking ads is essential for...

security reasons: to prevent malware from being installed via rogue ads;

for privacy reasons: to reduce being tracked by corporations;

and for mental health reasons: to reduce being bombarded with injunctions to buy things.
This equally applies to “internet”. Agree, lots of fraud. Scams. Tricks traps and hacks.

But there is something you are missing here. Bitcoin is mined using specialty hardware, it has no impact on consumer electronics. A lot of these concerns are leveled at ethereum. Bitcoin should be thought of as a fundamental value exchange protocol for the internet. We don’t blame TCP/IP for internet scams.
+1 for ZAMM reference.
The author wrote a similar piece which was also featured here on HN [0], and is also worth a read for Dostoyevsky fans. The full series called Eat Your Words is located here [1], where the author "cooks up recipes drawn from the works of various writers."

This presents an interesting ethical case. The Geneva Conventions seem intuitively correct here -- a POW should not be submitted to spectacle. It's too easy for them to be coerced.

But that was made on the assumption that the war itself was being prosecuted under those conventions. The idea that a solider might genuinely want to denounce his superiors and declare the war illegal... I just don't think that occurred to them.

There's no really good way to determine whether that's the case here, not without a fuller inquiry that will at best happen after the fact. And maybe that's the best you can hope for: to have accusations of rule-breaking settled later since you can't really apply interventions at the time. If these soldiers are doing this of their own volition, then the rule hasn't been violated. If they are... then we're all in a lot of trouble since it will get progressively worse.
Qt is at Qt6 now, haha.
I played with Rebirth on and off pretty much since it's been around and my opinion is that its sound is an homage to the real 303, at best. The spirit is certainly there but it's hard to make Rebirth sound exactly like a real 303 or hardware clones. I haven't played with any of the newer (as in, made in the last 15 years or so) 303 software implementations but I would suspect most of them are more faithful recreations.
I think I know why you are being downvoted, but I just wanted to chime in and say that I get exactly where you are coming from. On certain days, I cannot shake a similar thought from my mind as well.

Today though, I'd recommend skimming through uBlock Origin's Github readme: https://github.com/gorhill.
Note the "Free. Open source. For users by users. No donations sought." in the About section. Our industry reflects our collective condition: some good, some bad, and some in between. The oft used Mr. Rogers quote about "look for the helpers" seems particularly appropriate for uBlock Origin and its creator (and maintainers :)).

P.S. In case this comes across as a lecture, I assure you that this was just as much for myself as a reminder, as it was for the community here :).
> I'd feel safe if an executive who OKs a software update that kills someone risks significant jail time. If that means no self driving cars for 20 more years then I am totally fine with that.

The status quo is 139 people dying every day in the US in traffic accidents.

If we replaced all cars with self-driving ones, an executive could approve a software update every single day that kills only 100 and it could very well still be a net benefit to society.

These discussions always seem to implicitly presume that we're currently at zero deaths. We're not--we just don't hear about them. Every year we delay self driving cars is more people dying, not fewer.
You're absolutely correct it is hypocritical. I can't in good faith argue it isn't. But I still think opposing Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the right thing to do. I'll take hypocrisy over doing nothing in this case.
There are UN conventions[1][2] on statelessness that do require the bound parties to provide citizenship under very narrow conditions, essentially to avoid a stateless person. IANAL so I don't know if they apply in this type of example.

There is no amount of attention that it is "proper" to pay someone who interrupts you while working. Any such attention is a favor, a gift.

If you want to create a venue where attention is obligatory, schedule a meeting. Then we can also have a look at the meeting agenda relative to is duration and our total meeting load, and make reasonable tradeoffs.
> CMOS camera chips with pixel pitches of just 0.56 micrometers

Wow. For comparison the latest Leica M11 with a full frame sensor with 60.3MPX has a pixel pitch of 3.76 μm.

I’m curious about the ISO sensitivity but, since this sensor will use a lot of “computational photography”, like any modern smartphone, the ISO/light sensitivity should be less important than the power of the chip matched to this CMOS.
Do you have any evidence that the biolabs in Ukraine were performing research that was oriented towards being usable as a weapon?

Like what exactly is the claim here about that those labs were doing?

Or do you just think any biolab should automatically be assumed to be working on bioweapons? (And that we should ban all biolabs worldwide I guess?)
Have been using hardware KVM switches (HDMI/USB) from Belkin and some unknown brands from AliExpress since years. I don't remember the price exactly, but it was way under $100. I even contacted the Chinese manufacturer to change the PCB for me (I wanted the ports repositioned) and they did a very good and quick job for under $300. I'm talking dual computers in this case, not more.

Serious question coming from a place of relative ignorance- are Jewish people today more persecuted in western democracies like the US than in Israel? There are certainly attacks, but I don't know how that compares to the sustained state of quasi-war that Israel exists in.

> Laws like these lower the probability of Jews becoming a minority in Israel. Do you think the probability of them becoming a minority is zero? And the probability of them being persecuted provided they become a minority is zero? Unless you think both probabilities are very low you must understand their concerns.

I think I understand their concerns but worry that this creates a new persecuted minority by race, ensuring Jewish security by persecuting native Arabic peoples. This is maybe an overly American lense, but "never again" to me means that we should have stringent minority protections above just "never again" for the Jewish people .
Ah to be young and enthusiastic. FYI “retail investor” is a derogatory term you should probably avoid using.
I'm guessing you're fine with the several de facto Arab Islamic states out there.
Ha! Coincides with me starting to buy CDs again, so I guess I'm not the rebel I thought I was.

I was buying albums as FLAC, when I realised; "wait a minute, what the heck am I doing?! This is more expensive than buying a CD which I can rip myself to FLAC anyway". So I did _a lot_ of research on the best medium to buy music in for sound quality (surprise; it's not vinyl), and I'm rebuilding my collection. Listening to albums is fun again :)
> Making Russia look bad is in Ukraine's best interest.

Yes. And Ukraine has been doing that by releasing videos like this: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/drone-russia...

Ukraine can make Russia look bad by killing Russian troops (which also has the side-effect by making those troops run away, offering more security to Ukrainian cities).

Explain to me how killing people in Belarus helps Ukraine, more so than killing the Russian invaders and further demonstrating the corruption and incompetence of Russian troops.

--------

We know why Russia would want to attack Belarus. Belarus originally promised to attack Ukraine, but has been holding back for some reason. Russia has clearly decided it needs to "encourage" Belarus into attacking Ukraine.

Ukraine, who already has a significant number of Russian troops to deal with, has no desire for Belarus to join the fight.
That's an overreaction, the simpler solution is to outlaw anything less than level 4 self-driving (or at least ban level 3 and only allow level 1 and 2 stuff until 4 is achieved), and make the liability on the auto manufacturer clear in the law.
It depends on the city/area. In some places it's allowed, in others it is not.
I think we used to have principles. Not anymore. Only rules for special class of events or people.
> where is the line that makes it not okay to deal drugs or sell illegal financial products in the hopes they might be legalised later?

Nowhere. It’s a gamble. Vietnam War draft dodgers didn’t know they would be pardoned, but did it anyway. Normal people hated taxi companies and their dirty cars and “credit card reader doesn’t work” bullshit. Uber made the right call that they would get support.

If you like currently illegal drugs, you might think that crypto is the path forward, but money launderers are scamming the system and these laws to fight them are well supported and push against the crypto tide. It’s a gamble.
The vehicle this article is talking about is already designed this way. Most systems operate entirely read-only after boot and there are independent fallback systems for critical components.
Love curl converter!

They even have some resources to let you turn into python, go, and a few other languages.
Why TypeScript for Infrastructure?
This is my thought too. By the time SD cards were cheap and ubiquitous, digital music already had a huge foothold, and has the convenience of not worrying about losing the SD card.
Solution: don’t play games or use any app where the business model isn’t “I give you money and you give me goods and services”.

I have one ad supported app on my phone - the Overcast podcast player. That’s only because the author created his own non scummy ad network and I find ads on the podcast player that advertise other podcasts useful.

If I didn’t, I would pay him too to get rid of ads.
Yeah that's a pretty good HOV lane in my opinion (as a non city planner lol). Sometimes you still get two slowpokes side-by-side, but it's pretty rare.
I think you're completely correct, in a pedantic sense. However, heap object lifetimes aren't bound to control flow in quite the same way.
Maybe it’s hard to implement, but it’s implementation is a standard part of the curl tool:

$ curl —-libcurl curl.c ...
No. OSM can be used offline.
That's a great thought, I'm going to keep that one tucked away as a question in my back pocket.
This doesn't make it immune from criticism. What if the United States added "Caucasian state" to the constitution and started discriminating against other ethnicities. Would that be okay for you?
If you were aware of the intricacies of the jewish israeli law, you would understand that this ban is equivalent to defacto barring a ethnic minority from ever having the same civil liberties as a normal jewish born israeli. Theres no "misleading" around it.
Where is this built in ad blocker in Chrome? I have never seen this feature.
I'm assuming though this will be macOS only?

I ask because the best use I had for Synergy was around 20 years ago: one Linux desktop (my daily driver) and other ones for non Linux applications (or ones I didn't want to pollute my system with).

Over the years I've used it for Outlook (connecting to Exchange), Lotus Notes, Xcode, Adobe tools, etc.
If you have postman you can import curl commands and export them with a lot more options.

That being said turn off all tracking in postman. I got a creepy sales email once asking about my usage and they had a lot of details that made me feel creepy.
Yes from the 70's through the 90's it had huge popular support.
Not only on what it is but who it is. My boss? Absolutely. A colleague on my team? Maybe. Junior developer that can never seem to use google? Probably not. L1 or L2 support? Never, use the team's support email.
Yeah at least that's more clever and legitimately humorous.
Complying with sanctions and doing other deplatforming are different things. The first is compelled, the second the org's own choice.
Israelis are just being realists. If most of Israel was non-Jewish they'd be wiped off the map.

The amount of hate against Jews in this post is proof enough.
Is there a page that lets you buy things? I couldn’t find one on mobile
I didn't say anything about watching the screen; I mentioned time management as the issue. Yes, I can go back to what I was doing, only to be interrupted by another notification when you finally respond telling me what you need. But (a) that interrupts my workflow twice instead of just once, which is all that's needed, and (b) regardless of whether I'm watching the chat or returning back to work, it still takes longer to start helping you if I have to wait for you to tell me what you need help with.

I'm fine with a hello-only message if you're just chatting to talk, but at work, 90% of chat messages are for collaboration; I can't collaborate with you if you still haven't told me what you need collaboration on.
I almost posted earlier about the after-adjustments. I have 5 and 8-year installs, but I've never bothered to migrate across machines thinking it'd be too much of a hassle.
The one where he talks about managing your workspaces. It's a fairly recent one.
his sentence makes perfect sense if some of the parts of the world he has been to don't have them.

I'm a bit dissapointed it doesn't convert into raw curl module function calls in PHP.
Out of the 4 instruments that are still locked I'd reckon three would definitely be Jupiter 8, Juno, and TR-909. I can't confidently guess the last one though.

I'll try them later at home. Do you think they'll sound as good as the analog counterparts? Hahahaa
Tangentially related: New York is home to NYPA[1], the largest public power utility/authority in the United States. NYPA is entirely owned by the public, produces some of the cheapest (and greenest) power in the country, and is funded in perpetuity by bonds instead of taxes.

Edit: This bond announcement[2] document claims that NYPA provides over 25% of NY's electricity and owns over 30% of the physical delivery infrastructure in the state.

Seems like it should be pretty straightforward. curl_easy_init(), ..._setopt(), ..._perform(), ..._cleanup() covers the use cases I think.

libcurl only gets weird when you're threading multiple fetches or integrating with a GUI toolkit or something. Even then it's not hard at all to integrate with GTK unless you need absolute peak performance or are handling tens of thousands of simultaneous connections.
