I don't think people pay attention to that usually. I don't care what whoever created PR called their branch.
Funny that this is top of HN right. Spent a ton of time in this repo lately trying to understand how modems work. Fascinating how we can use waves to send data (audio or rf). So much of the world relies on these modulation/demodulation approaches.

Also, it was only a few days ago I finally learned that modem is short for MOdulator DEModulator. My mind was blown.
A post about an editor should not uncapitalize her last name. Just not respectful. ;)
I don’t want it so available that everyone feels they have to use it to keep up with their coworkers
I have been holding NFLX & TSLA for the last 10 years. Every time, the stocks reached all time high, i became greedy and changed my target date to sell.

Now NFLX is down crazily and waiting for TSLA to split again. 10000% gains and I will sell it.
If that's true, then collaborative programming will leave the teams empty: it is such a gigantic waste of time that those who can will vote with their feet too.

One of the many problems with that approach is that any service on your machine with network access can now impersonate you, the classic example being malicious JavaScript.
I was reading the article incredulously, wondering how they kept going back and forth between pong and Quake, as if no game between had ever had a character jump before, in complete disbelief that the writer seemed totally unaware of the concept of a 2D platform game.
It’s not quite the same kind of withdrawal.

I routinely take weeks long breaks from Adderall and while I am a bit more tired and definitely less productive, it’s not like you get physically ill.

There really isn’t much in the way of withdrawal and anecdotally, what symptoms there may be don’t last longer than two weeks.
Been tinkering with Matrix homeservers and wanted to share my thoughts. Also there's an example for Nginx config if someone is stuck in a similar issue.
No they already have farbfeld which is superior because it is not tied to a specific compression algorithm.
NP/PA programs have entry requirements of 80-90% A’s (3.7 avg), GRE, 1000+ patient care hours and like 4% acceptance rates…
It’s difficult because the minimum effective dose is quite subjective. My doctor even suggested my continuing to increase my dose without prompting, but I’ve paused at 15.

The pitfalls are real but personally, being 3-4 months in, it’s been such a game changer in my temperament and quality of life.
I switched from VS Code to Vim and just forced myself to go cold turkey. Turned off the mouse and arrow keys to enforce using the home row as much as possible. It was a painful month. I started with a pretty IDE-like config (I think it was called vim-ide or something like that) so it was similar enough to the functionality I was used to in VS Code. After about six months, things were basically second nature and I had a better grasp on what I needed, so I stripped a ton out and slimmed the config down a lot.

A huge advantage of vim (and emacs too) is it's so easy to extend, and I have macros and sessions and keyboard shortcuts that save me a lot of time and repetition. The initial month sucked, sure, but once I got used to the idea of modes and the keyboard shortcuts became muscle memory, I started to really see why people love it. I don't think I would ever go back to VS Code.

For reference, I work in Ruby, JS/React, and C# mostly.
Lifelong songwriter, got a free copy of Acid with the purchase of a CD burner circa 2000, moved to Cubase for the VSTs and cause it could be pirated, been on Cubase ever since but have migrated from VST to analog synth hardware.

This reads like "Poland is so great, I chose to live elsewhere"

You could've studied and worked in Belgium/Netherlands/Finland and many other countries much richer than Poland even with the Iron Curtain in place.

Millions of people did just that.
Yup, some of the best music albums ever made were done with amphetamines. It seems to enhance a lot of things.
Maybe the resume credibility is not what it was once perceived to be. I also find it hard to take Facebook AI seriously and have no reason as of yet to believe it won’t be used for low brow reasons like increasing user addiction to their apps, censorship of user opinions, or increasing advertising engagement. In fact, I am skeptical of AI and ML in general for its effectiveness, purpose, and applications.
Yanukovych won the democratic elections. His Party of Regions was the biggest at the time. He made some unpopular decisions, well within his constitutional rights, and then an armed, violent mob started occupying a part of the capital, a mob that enjoyed all the rhetorical (and, I read on the Wiki, financial) support of foreign officials, up to the point of using foreign embassy as a field hospital. Yanukovych first tried to use force[1] to take care of the situation, which failed. Before fleeing the country, though, he repeatedly tried to strike some kind of deal with the protesters, offering talks and concessions to the other side, including holding new elections in about a month. The opposition leaders took up his offers, only to be ignored by the mob, which demanded removing Yanukovych from office effective immediately. Meanwhile, democratically elected local government of Crimea repeatedly warned that, shall Yanukovych be forced out of office illegally, Crimea will consider seceding. We know how that played out.

Was Yanukovych Russian puppet? Sure. Was he democratically elected president? Yes. Was he and his political circle corrupt? You bet. Was it strange at the time in Ukraine? Not at all. Were there masses of people who demanded his deposition? Obviously. Were there masses of people who opposed the perceived coup d'etat? Yes, there were.

There seem to be deeply rooted divisions in Ukrainian society and perhaps something like the Euromaidan was inevitable. Maybe Ukraine is better off afterwards, I don't know. What I do know, though, is that your comment here is part of the problem, not the solution. Foregoing the nuance, forgetting to consider narratives other than your own, and above all else - giving in to emotionally loaded arguments instead of rationally assessing long-term effects of what happened is exactly what caused the current situation.

[1] EDIT: yes, by firing live ammo at the crowd, which in itself is nothing strange. The guns and live rounds did not magically appear out of thin air - they were entrusted to the police to defend the state from perceived threats. Euromaidan protesters were perceived as a threat. They were aware they were perceived as such. They could have gone home, but chose not to. The effect was 20 dead and many more wounded. All deaths should be mourned, but it's unfair to blame them on just one side while both sides contributed to escalating the tensions.
World Building Through Fictional Languages
I've used Reason since 2001. For a while I had a desktop PC for DAW stuff, and I mostly ran Cubase w Reason w Motu 828 MK2. Cubase + windows bugs drove me crazy. Once Reason supported audio I ditched Cubase and went onto Mac OS. I would highly recommend Reason as I think they have the best overall offering plus the quality is amazing - almost never encountered a bug or issue when using it. There are a lot of options these days so it kinda depends on what you want to do.
No. I just think there might be a nugget of merit to this idea.

“ChromeOS is getting better faster than iOS on iPad.” (2018)
> Decentralization Impossible to achieve, as shown by current crypto projects centering around certain (usually large) actors;

Comparing cryptocurrency with content in this way doesn't translate.

Cryptocurrency regardless of wallet/identity is fungible. Content isn't. So this point seems to be making the assumption that all the content is pooled and controlled by one voting pool, which I wouldn't take as a given.
They did the same after FDR in the USA to limit presidential term limits. It has become more and more clear that we need the same with more powerful federal positions like speaker of the house, leader of the senate, supreme court, etc. We need new blood every so often. I wish it was across the board but maybe we could start with these top positions and see how it goes. Clearly what we have is not working for the betterment of the general welfare, currently it's only for corporate welfare.
I guess the most notable thing would be the new kind of web browser I'm building. It's a rethink on how to browse the web, and while it's not going to be a 1:1 experience with existing browsers (no plugins for example), it's sufficiently capable of easing the navigation of many collections of browser windows.

Among the most interesting things has been the parallels to desktop OS design patterns, such as leveraging spatial awareness as a means of organization.

And if it actually clicks with people (still working on the demo), i'm going to make it social; in a github way, not an instagram way.
My 4 year old son Michal died 11 years ago and I still grieve him every day. It is deep in my bones, an abscess. As this beautiful and heavy article describes, the act of grieving became an addiction to me. I kept "breaking beautiful things" in my mind because living with the ghost child instead of the living world kept his memory closer and my hands less shaky. He was an addiction, I had rituals I had to do (watch old videos, peruse old photos) every day. Without these things, I felt like I was betraying him. I fantasized about digging up his bones a lot. All a ruse, a cycle in my own mind, designed to soothe an addict haunted by his ghost child. A divorce and lots of personal writing and tears (and so many years) later, I am in a healthier place. But "grief is what love looks like when they're gone" is a simple and poignant way to put it: I will always be haunted, and I will always love the haunt, but I cannot be owned by him like I was for so many years. When he comes to haunt me, I welcome it. But unlike before, I don't smother him. Now I let him float away too.

What if procastrination is recursive, you never exit it, and when you get back to work that's procastrinating away from your previous task. Your own company should ask you to work on project A instead of project B, so what you call "work" is a higher level of procastrination, that goes up to the whole objectives vs actual tasks of humankind. Procastrinate about it!
Can't wait for the corresponding report on employers that have decided to "coast" with their salary adjustments and not just hand out free money to everybody. /s

Of course that sounds silly - just as silly as this pearl-clutching from bosses at the thought that people might "only" do their jobs...
Yes, there is a process and you wouldn't have been able to kill them yourself. If you wanted to kill a gay person, you would have had to collect evidence of them having gay sex and then present that to the court so that the court can kill them for you.

It was gaming, specifically Half Life, Quake, and Unreal that really gripped me in my young years and fascinated me. I attribute my love for software those wonderful years!
I agree, this place has turned to trash.
The limitations of this theory are playing out in the Bay Area (where enforcement is so lax drugs are in effect decriminalized) in real time. There are absolutely large negative externalities from drug addiction, independent of the enforcement regime.
Instagram is Meta, but the point still stands that you can't count on 'em.

My long term goal is indeed to stop relying on the MAANG and publish first to my own site. I'm not really that interested in building a following. I have a small audience of friends who like to see what I'm up to and I genuinely like it that way.

The major barrier is wanting to set it up in my free time since it's like doing work.
Tech is very cargo cultish, which comes from having a young average age, and a strong survivorship bias in the media. Remember the Google brainteasers? Fizzbuzz? "Culture fit"?

Tech companies have the lowest infrastructure costs of any industry, and so they have no place to hang their risk aversive paranoia except on personnel (the safer you are, the more trivial the things you fear).

There's nothing logical about it, but since they have to fear something, it'll be whatever some douchebag with a following puts in their next "XYZ considered harmful" blog post.
I've used this kernel on some products and would recommend staying away when possible because you're kind of stuck in a corner wrt to feature and security updates.

Most of Xilinx's SoCs are very close to working on mainline kernels out of the box. You'll need to build/patch some advanced FPGA features, but with nothing more then a kernel config you'll have a functioning Linux system.

IMHO, putting in the work to use a mainline kernel (and Yocto in place of petalinux) is well worth it in the long run for real products.

Xilinx is to be commended for their efforts to mainline many features.

Petalinux and linux-xlnx are ultimately early dev and platform demonstration tools. They provide many features, but are lacking polish and stability needed for real products.

> (1) insightful that upon terminating a subscription the data is no longer accessible

This doesn’t seem to be true.

> (2) that $9/month could be seen as a lot to many people

This is a fairly worthless piece of information in this context. Do we really need a “check your privilege!” comment every time we discuss a product?

> (3) it did not come off as overly negative, especially compared to some comment sections on controversial topics

Complaining about privilege in this context seems overly negative.
And the inverse, many clients need to install proprietary closed source hardware (within their network) to interact with the institutions.
China has a big stake in independent and stable Kazakhstan that will resist islamists and participate in the Silk Road initiatives, which should be your insurance policy against Russian invasion. There were rumors that it was reaction of China that forced Russian peacekeepers to go home on time after the recent coup attempt. Let’s hope that Tokaev will show the third way to former Soviet republics and will keep all the foreign powers away, while making necessary reforms.

Such aggressive ad hominem attacks are not warranted, you want to dispute my position then have some class, its ok if you don't know how radio receivers work.
Totally agree. Half Life also had Tau/Gauss jumping. Movement dynamics by comparison nowadays are way more restricted, scripted, and generally "easier" but less rewarding. Nothing quite as thrilling as timing a perfect conc nade jump to launch yourself across the map deep into the teams flag room :)
I'm starting with FL Studio and Windows, no issues so far (so far = for some months haha).
There was a conspiracy in all cases.

A conspiracy does not need a conspiracy theorist to be a conspiracy.

However, when a conspiracy becomes public knowledge, my point is that it will contribute to that collective cultural thought that conspiracies happen, they're real, and so other conspiracies being claimed with less evidence could also be real.

My point is that real conspiracies - on being unearthed - fuels support for theories that have less evidence, because as the article we're discussing points out, the reason for conspiracy theories existing that have little evidence of existence has little to do with established facts, and more a sense of what "could" be true.
Video is massive. Uncompressed 1080p video at 60fps is 1Gb per second, compared to ~5mbps for compressed video. QOI is great for pictures where 3-5x compression is about as good as you can do, but video compression is about getting close to 500x compression.

I take it you've never worked on radio systems, radar systems, satellites, or avionics then. Or with engineers working on new systems designs and modeling. (And those are just the areas I've used or seen it used by non-academics from my own experience, not at all a comprehensive list) Matlab has lots of non-academic uses, and when someone claims it's only for academics it's usually a sign that they have never used it or only saw it in their freshman "programming for engineers" class or maybe numerical methods.
Would love this !
Oh wow, this is awesome!
As you can see by my username, this was influential enough to me as a kid that I named my online presence after it.
My whole 6th grade class got into it―particularly making Line-Rider-equse roller coasters with the beta version.

I think the only really effective existing technologies for "ingesting" disparate data are called "data scientist" and/or "software engineer".

As written using the word "data" the question doesn't really make sense to me because that implies structure.

But it implies that you want to aggregate data from multiple sources into something coherent.

If this is not the case, then you could consider something like a wiki. Or consider it anyway as a starting point. Or maybe Elasticsearch.

With the current information as specified, the exercise seems impossible and pointless.

As you said, more information is required. What specific data would be useful to which specific individuals in those organizations or external to them and how would they use that specific type of information? Start by detailing that and then figure out how to get there.

This sounds like an exercise created by a non-technical person who was not interested nor could understand the requirements. So you have to do requirements engineering and the primary risk for the project is the incompetence of the person who gave you the vague data aggregation task and their ability to waste your time.
Basically. Though I've seen worse on wsb. Some dude inherited 200k from his grandmother and lost it all. He had half of it in a single stock for some used car sales company. His logic? He liked them and got a good deal on his car from them (others pointed out that they actually have bad prices...)

I'm building a spiritual successor of the Base/FoxPro family of languages (https://tablam.org) that marry ML + relational + array paradigms with a bit of imperative support.

This is on Rust, and apart of the fancy buzzwords, what it set apart from many is that it (plan to!) be a better fit for business/data intensive applications.

Now I'm reworking the whole parsing so i can get great error messages like as Rust/Elm.

---

As long-term plans, I wish to be like FoxPro/Access and be a full-stack development environment, with nice RDBMS integration, and how know, maybe build a new kind of RDBMs.
Disagree. Jobs can definitely cause this.

I’ve worked at a bunch of shit workplaces. As soon as the work environment goes to hell - so does my personal life. Working 60+ hours/week, dealing with frustrating people for more than half of your waking life, etc. It isn’t as simple as checking in and out. Especially because checking in and out would get you fired and sent to the streets.
Putin’s Game Ends
Is it legislative debt if it is actively being used in a modern setting?

Not walking around with an ice cream cone in your back pocket is more what I think about when I think of legislative debt.
Yeah when you have some trend then it's worth seeking that, but right now the scaremongering over cellphones (especially 5G) helps no one.
I have at least a possible one. I bet there's a reasonable chance if we saw the output of the auto-generated transcript (which I'm sure is generated even if it not presented) we'd all be able to scan through it and then say "Oh, oh yeah, I bet this mis-transcribed phrase is what did it".

I don't favor the "protecting corporate interests" theory because of this: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=install+nextclo... Doesn't exactly look heavily censored to me.

The core problem remains what people have observed before, which is that Google, and the tech industry in general, seals people off from any support mechanism, other than "generate outrage on social media". Little by little, this becomes a bit more abusive every year.
