I often see a Notification that says something like you are now using iCloud Private Relay, but no persistent indication when I’m not. Seems like an icon similar to Wi-Fi, cell or vpn should be to the right of the notch to make it easier to see status.

When it is running I don’t notice additional latency of two extra hops, and that’s in conjunction with 1Blocker filtering traffic too.

It would be awesome to see some more scientific analysis… or metrics. I’m sure lots of people are using VPN (for work) possibly with Private Relay & a blocker (or too).

Because 12C ~ 21F there are some convenient temperatures to interpolate between.

of course 0C = 32F and -40C = -40F
but also (within a degree F):

04C = 40F
16C = 61F
28C = 82F
40C = 104F

note that the last two digits are always reversed.

below 0C they get less useful

-08C = 18F
-19C =-1.9F
-31C = -23F

It looks like a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier. So it's the power source.
I can guarantee that the vast majority of implementation time was more likely due to verification and auditing of the solution, rather than the solution itself.

Yet, you’ve taken this as a chance to demean an entire thread rather than engage in good faith and explore that difference of opinion.

+1 to inoreader. Happy paying customer. Killer features were a) being able to follow the one or two private twitters I wanted without being forced to be signed in, b) being able to "filter" said twitter feeds to just 'images' and 'no reblogs' - perfect for following artists who draw cool stuff but filtering out meaningless text posts.

There's the story of the guy, he was in GQ I think, who was answering questions like "What is't like to:" "Get ejected from a fighter jet?"

Scary shit, his flying machine was starting to do its real job which is of being a suicide machine, so he had to bail. The guy think he was an airman, became an inch shorter.

EDIT: I would say instead of "real job" I would say "original job." Early aviation was full of deaths. First the guys jumping off the Eiffel tower with wings, splat. Then the famous German glider Otto Lilienthal, splat. Then more experiments, then eventually the Wright Brothers, who said "how do we fly without going splat?" Their invention was how to control the machine, wing warping. Others already could power it, just not control it. And they both lived in fear of splat, that's why they refused to fly on the same flying machine.
This reads like an old school Casey Neistat documentary [1]

I’ve been getting into old (1600s-1900s) science books lately. Many are out of print and either difficult or extremely expensive to get a physical copy of.

Gutenberg and LibGen have been absolutely indispensable.

Gutenbergs copy of The Skeptical Chymist is fantastic.

Bonus points that both platforms make it extremely easy to push a pdf directly to my remarkable tablet.

Then your only choice is self hosting because the provider can, and will, enforce any rules that they deem necessary even if they don't put it in the ToS explicitly (usually hidden behind "ToS can change at any time" clause). I've given the Cloudflare/Nazi case as an example.
But do they think the police should be more involved in exactly the same way they are now?

Either way, that angle is certainly missing from the single question cited above.

“Finished product” games make most their money at the beginning of their life then peter out into a long tail of revenue that drips in slowly day by day, until it stops altogether or becomes negligible. This game dev has likely made as much as he will make from his game and it’s time to put it out to pasture and build a new game.
For me it's got very limited use, if at all. My primary browser is Firefox with ublock, multi-containers etc. but Private Relay won't work with it. Also, my home network has a Pi-Hole and I have to manually change my DNS to a public one if I want to enable Private Relay. So for a privacy use case, with browser fingerprinting and all, there's the tradeoff that you can hide your IP but have to give up on the Pi-Hole protection. All ads start showing up in Safari. I'd rather go with a VPN that tunnels all computer traffic except DNS. FWIW, this is my poor man's VPN with a free Google Cloud micro instance used as a socks proxy with Firefox:

I seriously doubt they "can't find workers." I have a friend who works at a rural Tim Hortons and he described to me the massive stack of applications he spotted as "thicker than the phone book. Like two new packs of printer paper." Despite multiple interviews per week nobody gets hired.
They've been on a skeleton crew since last summer.
I think it's a total crock that they can't find anyone. More like they can't find anyone good enough, and good enough means willing/able to do 4x more work than anybody with the same job had to do previously.
I want to start my own million dollar paranormal challenge, but it's for anyone who can prove a non striking non startup company has suffered due to not being able to find workers. I don't think it's happened a single time since 9/11.

I bet you had hope that your fighting would be worth it. What the GP is saying that if you don’t have hope then you have no incentive to work hard, because the lack of hope literally means that you don’t believe there’s a realistic chance it will lead to success. You need that belief to get going and to keep going.
I was under the impression that they only requested an ID and a mean of payment, but after verification you are right, a proof of residency is also required for postpaid plans.

If you know someone in France, you may ask them to make a "solemn declaration" that you live at their address; then you only need provide their own proof of residency (people living with their parents routinely do so).

Tourist and prepaid SIM cards are still exempted and, depending on your case, can prove quite interesting.

Bit of relevant trivia - in a number of languages other than English, "canoe" means both the style of boat we call a canoe in English and the thing we call a kayak. To distinguish the two, the one we call simply a "canoe" is called in those languages a "Canadian canoe" or "Canadian" for short.
This is only plausible for humans in tropical areas. It does not stand to reason for humans north of (conservatively), say, 40º. Even in humans in areas with calorically significant quantities of carbohydrates available, fossil records suggest they probably preferentially ate ruminants, same as anyone else.

It might be some ease of programming things. I remember owning a few K1000 family synths (which are close relatives) and while they sounded great, found it very hard to step very far outside the presets with the built-in UI.
Looks like a lot of great work went into this.
But I'm not sure I want to see CLI applications continue going down this path. Maybe I'm missing the point of this, but I like my terminal applications simple, small and easy to drop into the rest of the shell ecosystem. This means applictions willing to accept input from either the keyboard interactively or from a stdin input stream of bytes and lines. Output should be a simple, structured, human readable and machine consumable format for easy drop into pipelines and shells scripts.

I'm not much of a musician, but all the explanations about why the major scale is the way is, or octave equivalence, etc. always sound suspiciously similar to the good old "nature abhors a vacuum" [1] to me.

I agree retrenching pluralism is necessary, but it's a long road to hoe. I've been reflecting lately on my day to day, how even before the pandemic I never knew my neighbors or anyone in my neighborhood, had a low-key resentment towards any forced or incidental social interaction where I'm not 100% in control of my experience, sometimes I load up HN and high-road people for an hour or two or some online dating app, blah.

It's like, no wonder things are depressing, and I'm super privileged. Mostly what I'm running up against is existential and abstract. It's hard for me to even imagine working gig jobs or being back in tech support.

Maybe this is just rehashing what you're saying, but I find modern life intensely dehumanizing. There's so much space between us--on purpose--that we're just adrift.

My brother and I were talking with an older guy a couple years ago, and he pinned the blame for this on garages. Time was you parked in your driveway and had a neighbor interaction, but with the garage, you just slipped in and no interaction. Was it always an awesome neighbor interaction? Definitely not, but it had a cohering effect. I think he's wrong in the micro, but it does to me ring true in the macro, where we have so much more control over our interactions that we just don't get the incidental mixing. Then again lots of people in our society have tons of unwanted interactions (e.g. women) so dunno if this is at all right.

IDK this was weirdly personal and whiny, but I don't know how else to really get at what I've been thinking for a while.
> Say it with me: right tool for the right job. Not every language should try to solve every problem. And not every problem is nicely solvable in every language. By your definitions any language other than what, C and js is "unpopular" and "Rejected by the industry" ?

I literally claimed otherwise, elsethread

> It's a reflection of what the programmers want. Apparently they wanted syntax with braces and semicolons.

Javascript, C, C++, C#, Python and Java have seen and are still seeing heavy use in the industry. Go has gotten traction too, now.

Any language that can be seen on a common metric to be more than low single-digits (and, in some cases, fractions) of a percentage can be safely said to be "used in industry". I cannot think of any survey amongst programmers which shows Haskell usage outside of 1%-3%.
It's true in almost all commercial transactions. A price is a message communicating the value of the thing to potential buyers. Also, value is subjective.

Anecdote: I used to work for a large software company. A long time ago they had a product which had a competitive feature set to the industry leaders in the space, but was a poor seller. It turns out that the price was so low (<10% of the market leader) that potential customers assumed that it was not a serious competitor. Raising the price significantly boosted sales.

Years ago I owned a boat. Everything for boats is more expensive than equivalent non-marine items. At first I thought that was because designing things for marine environments required better materials and engineering. Then I realized that most people who own boats are at least moderately well-off, and that the price was what they were willing to pay, not what it cost to manufacture. This taught me that if I ever start a business, I will target rich people.
It is much less of a focus now, but I for a long time I wanted to have a business that made me a lot of money. I always focused on trying to make useful stuff, but I sure did wonder about making decent stuff and throwing in a bunch of marketing to charge 10X the normal price! It is one interesting strategy. But then I learned business is SUPER hard (especially starting from zero) and I make great money doing engineering!
Thank you. You also made me realize that it's better to tune open strings for avoiding intonation shifts by the pressing force.
Cool, hadn’t seen that. Li is open source, so it should be possible to see how it works. I wonder how exploitable that compensation might be? I.e. build a client that pretends to be on a crappy network, to give yourself an extra few ms per move?
Yes, of course. I've tuned pianos, so I'm not disagreeing with that.

I'm just struck by the zenlike simplicity of the original question, "What is a Major Chord?", compared to the random bits of technical jibber-jabber that would confuse the hell out of a poor soul who would dare to ask such a question, both in the linked blog post, and the discussion here.
I'm with you on onboarding in terms of docs and naming. The problem got worse before it started to get better with the pivot to a much improved shell experience, but we'll hopefully start to see improvement.

The Nix language, however, is about what it needs to be. I don't like it, mind you, but I think it strikes the right balance between config format and programming language. There are things I'd tweak, but it's pretty much what it needs to be. Any similarity to Haskell is mostly coincidental. Because of that, it's also not especially hard to learn. If you'd like to give Nix a shot, I think you'll find that it doesn't need to be your hobby to be useful quickly.
6+6 doesn’t make sense, though — there are 7 notes in any given diatonic scale. You could change the scales around so that they only have 6 notes, but then we’re discussing an entirely different system rather than just a different notation.

Anyway, you can count the intervals now. For example, I know that there are five half steps between F and A#. It is slightly annoying to keep the B and E exceptions in mind, but it’s definitely possible — most people just find it easier to use the sharps and flats as a shortcut.
Don't judge too quick. It may be expensive but it is well worth the price. Before using this cable, my amp sounded muffled, the violine's timbre was foggy and the bass wobbly.

Immediately after installing this master piece, it unleashed the beast. The bass was on spot and it was like a curtain of mud and fog was lifted.
Minimum wage hospitality workers appreciate your contribution.

It’s described in TFA, or at least the part relevant to the oysters:

> Every time it rains, hundreds of millions of gallons of untreated household wastewater pours right out into the harbor. And that shouldn’t be a thing.

The problem is that New York has an ancient combined stormwater+sewage system that is designed for the rainstorms of long ago, so regular flooding events overwhelm sewage and require these overflows in the harbor lest the pipes back up into houses and the street. Modern cities get around this by both reducing the amount of nonporous surfaces (and thus diverting less water into the system), or by separating stormwater drainage so that an overflow isn’t mixed with sewage.
> Haskell's slogan is "avoid success at all costs". Haskell isn't aiming for mass adoption. It wants to be a language for researching functional programming, it just so happens it's a useful language, and people write real software with it too.

This isn't well-known - read through this thread - their are many people in this thread who deny that Haskell usage in industry is insignificantly small.

This would not satisfy privacy maximalists because you can easily unmask users later.
The key word you’re missing in your interpretation of that quote is “requirement”. I may love hiking, but I am not in favor of requiring hiking for everyone.

>Do you have proof that there would be less of these without capitalism. If anything the homeless population has increased in the USA as the market has become more regulated, so I don't see the proof that more capitalism produces more homelessness.

In socialist countries (eg European ones, I have less familiarity with others) number of homeless people is lower, number of people without healthcare is also lower. I'm an example, when I was unemployed, living with my family, government paid for my healthcare. Stuff even people with private insurance might not have (in US). Also rises in number of homeless people correlated with decline in mental health services. Greyhound therapy?

>I think you should inform yourself a little bit more before claiming something and then coming empty handed when specific examples are asked. The capitalism you're thinking of exists mostly in your imagination if you can't provide examples.

First of, when talking about future, you just don't know what consequences our actions will have. As I said, I would like to see what socialism/capitalism hybrid(democracy controling capitalism, including German example, wiki link). That includes Nordic social democracies or European ones in general. So I mentioned example after saying that I don't know. You just ignored it, with a bonus of "forgetting" to copy-paste my full argument.
I think that mathematically equal temperament didn't come into use until the modern piano with an iron frame, though I don't know how pipe organs were tuned. At the time of Bach, a keyboard instrument would go out of tune quickly, so a musician had to be able to tune their own instrument quickly, before every performance. Modern piano tuning is a specialized skill.

Temperament methods evolved towards ever-better approximations of equal temperament. They all had names. Bach's "Well Tempered Klavier" was written for an instrument tuned in the Well temperament, and explored the unique tone quality of each key.

String and wind instruments can't be played in tune consistently enough to worry about temperament. And musicians will push notes slightly sharp or flat for emphasis. On the cello, I was taught to slightly stretch whole-step intervals, and squeeze half-step intervals together when playing scales. It made a major scale sound "more major" for instance. Every wind instrument has one or two notes that are known to be bad and must be corrected on the fly, though it's less noticeable on faster passages. The musicians play in tune by listening to one another.

Fretted instruments in Bach's time were an odd situation. Gut strings vary in density along their length, and go out of tune as they age. The viola da gamba had frets, but they were movable and required periodic adjustment.

Even the temperament on a modern steel-stringed guitar is approximate. The compensated bridge is an attempt to correct the scale, but it's not perfect. And it's not systematically tempered, as in, adjacent octaves are not in tune with one another.
