This is truly a wonderful project. I am expecting more and more apps like this using web audio.

It's also great to see a lot of interest on music making!

BTW, here is a collaborative live coding language/environment I am developing:

You can learn synth and sequencer with examples, similar to this project, yet in a code-based/non-GUI manner.
> It may sound stupid, but you can't have unhandled exceptions if you don't have exceptions...

> panic!() exists in Rust, but that's not how recoverable errors are handled.

This is the worst argument in the whole article, and this is the worst part of the language. Everyone says it's not like exceptions, but in fact it is much worse. Panic is stringly typed and you can catch_unwind it, just like with try/catch in any other language. And the actual worst part of it, you will never know if a panic can occur in any of the underlying functions until it is too late. Developers be damned if they want to choose different behaviour other than crashing the whole program.

Either double down on using the standard error handling everywhere, or put something like "throws panic" in the function signature (ala Java checked exceptions). Many parts of the language has strict checks for everything, why does panic has to be an outlier?
It all depends on the what is the shortest path to ground.

Ground is also a relative term for a lightning strike.

When lightning hits the ground, a potential field emanates from that point. The further out the closer to 0V the potential difference is.

As such it depends on where the strike is in comparison to the house, your wiring, where your house is grounded etc.

For example, if the grounding point on your house is very close to the strike, your house ground will be raised to the voltage of that point away from the stike.

The path to 0V may be through your active wiring, your powesupply, the house frame or the water pipes.

So yeah, hope that helps

Seriously?
The signature for dgemm is

void cblas_dgemm(const CBLAS_LAYOUT layout, const CBLAS_TRANSPOSE TransA,
const CBLAS_TRANSPOSE TransB, const CBLAS_INT M, const CBLAS_INT N,
const CBLAS_INT K, const double alpha, const double *A,
const CBLAS_INT lda, const double *B, const CBLAS_INT ldb,
const double beta, double *C, const CBLAS_INT ldc)

Maybe you have a loads of free time, but I don't want to memorize that function signature when I could just type A @ B.

Defecting outside of a toilet is one thing. Defecating on the middle of a sidewalk is a different thing altogether. It is possible to defecate on a piece of waste paper and throw it away in the nearest garbage. People do it all the time.

I think you underestimate how much things have changed to make that claim: it wasn't until 1996 that the majority of Americans approved of interracial marriage. Below 20% of Americans approved of it when the Star Trek kiss aired.

A larger percentage of Republicans support transgender rights today than Americans supported interracial marriage when in 1969. More Americans support transgender rights today than supported it 20 years after the Trek kiss aired.
Kids these days. If they’re not addicted to novelty and the social media algorithm, they’re freebasing historical preservation. I’m honestly not sure how you square the circle between obviously consumerist trends like fast fashion and mass-produced “collectibles” with fetishization of preservation and franchise-based popular culture. It kind of seems like different people like different stuff?

Of course if you’re talking about architecture, there’s lots of fetishization of the not-very-old stuff from last century, because They don’t want you to know that we lost the building techniques of the Tartarian Empire. Or something.
My income is in yen and this makes me sad lol
You’re assuming that the people who buy house in an area work in the area. People who are able to work remotely statistically have jobs that pay more. They can live anywhere. A $700K house is a steal for even a mid level person working at BigTech who use to live on the west coast.
this is a new version of spying on the number of cars parked in some parking lot each day. "Retail location insights" and other vague, broad euphemisms are used to describe round-trip recordings of massive numbers of "consumers." factual corrections welcome
Oh, wow! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll take a look and try to get that cleaned up.

We don't have a lot of shops with electronics at the moment, so a query for "router" would be light anyway, but these particular results are not useful at all.
Ah, I wondered when exactly Netflix original content changed to "mountain of trash".

GH no longer uses RDS. They had some services which relied on that maybe 3 years ago. Migrations were performed with gh-ost, but if not running replicas (RDS was not) it would downgrade to mysql binaries

GH is migrating from gh-ost in general, as it’s not even used in the enterprise products (though GitHub.com relies on it, the next iteration will phase it out)

Cheap and easy credit has driven house prices up with people continuing to pay very large sums only because they anticipate capital gains. Many buyers just want a home but wouldn't pay these prices if capital gains were out of the question.

If we reach debt saturation due to higher interest rates or some other economic shock then capital gains are not so certain. In that situation it would be a wondrous trick for prices to somehow 'levitate' and not fall.

With investors and home buyers no longer anticipating capital gains - even anticipating falls - what sets the price?

I would say two things. For investors, the income potential of the asset - in this case rent. For home buyers, the cost of servicing a loan relative to the cost of renting (with a markup to account for the additional benefits of ownership over renting).

What are interest rates now? What were they two years ago (pre-covid)? Price falls are likely to take us back to where we were when we had similar interest rates, perhaps further if sentiment shifts enough.

In NZ this is playing out now. 20% down in Auckland city already. That happened within a few months of the peak. 30% would take us to pre-covid prices, but interest rates are likely to reach higher levels than they were then. How long they stay elevated is the million dollar question. Regardless, I think we'll see falls somewhere between 30-50% in NZ in an astonishingly short amount of time. Ireland saw -50% over five years, but that was with the support of global QE and falling rates.

EDIT: Of course we just don't know what central banks and politicians will cook up to try to kick this one down the road again. Thankfully, the correction looks almost inevitable this time. Perhaps inflation is the answer - as unpalatable as it is?
I made a fun chart tracing energy from the Big Bang to modern primary sources in Mermaid JS because it was so fun and easy. [1]

Then a guy on twitter and his son remixed it graphically into something truly artistic. [2]

I thank Mermaid for the overall experience b/c it let somewhat complex concepts be shown so clearly that they could be immediately understood.

The root cause issue is that there is zero criminal consequence to selling drugs in the TL. I mean, it's an open air drug market, and any attempt to change that would likely be met with protests for the usual various reasons.

It didn't get worse because you can't see it. The value of Whatsapp is in the metadata. Not the UI/ UX.

A bank used to keep your personal financial information as private. Now post-acquisition, the bank starts selling your personal financial information to insurance companies. To you, as an account holder, you don't know the difference because its all hidden away from you.

Maybe you don't care because the bank hasn't increased your fees, but other people you don't know can now buy your data and target you. Here's how data brokers work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqn3gR1WTcA

As a customer and tax payer, Aust Post gets top marks for actually contacting me after I submitted a message about not being able to login, then passing it on to an IT person who rang me a couple of days later to say it was fixed.

The vast majority of companies who promise to get back to me never do, yet Aust Post called me twice to investigate and resolve.
It is also a vicious cycle. If you want to hire construction workers in a place like Seattle, you have to pay them enough so they can live in the area.
If you're already working as an engr/scientist, the best motivation for a graduate degree would be to contribute something 'new' to the field and/or expand your skills so you get better at the job you're already doing. A grad degree may or may not result in more opportunities or better pay - and if these last two are your motivation, you probably shouldn't get a grad degree in CS. Getting ahead or earning more has very little to do with your IQ and probably a lot more to do with your EQ... I've seen brilliant folk get masters and PhD even in CS, an MBA, even JD... only to end up disenchanted because they start out with the wrong motivation and the outcome doesn't match their expectations.

Examining your motivations is not easy and should be done with someone that knows you well, isn't family and can offer objective/'cold' advice. If they fail to dissuade you w/some real life experiences and you are still fired up, then you should probably go for. it.

TLDR do not embark on a major undertaking without due process (or self process, as it may be).

GraphQL Is a Trap
I think this is all a bit harsh. Compared to having to front up to the tax office or Centrelink or (in NSW) the RTA to do things, MyGov and the Service NSW system are a modern miracle.

You can quibble over what needs cutting/pasting or whatever on the ATO forms but the system it replaced (the execrable desktop app), the ATO MyGov interface is so far ahead it isn't even funny.

However, I've never had to deal with their helpdesk.
Inflation might be lower,

>but also there would be more homeless,

Would there? You don't know that with spending less money on basics, people would be freed up and less tight on charitable care for the homeless, or at least more individually involved, which brings accountability to orgs providing homeless services.

> more bankruptcy,

Bankruptcy is a good thing. When you finish bankruptcy proceedings you are absolved of debt and your life immediately gets less stressful. The risk should 100% be on the lender, they are the ones who tried to get free money. Perhaps we should not have so many bad loans and a correction is due.

> more unemployed.

Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad thing. It's not hard to argue that as a society we are overworked. Would it be so bad if more people could have natural access to 4-day workweeks, if fathers or mothers could afford to stay at home and care for the kids while their spouse or whatever, polycule coop, goes off to bring home the bacon?

Your assertion encodes some assumptions, which ultimately, are responsible for the degraded relative quality of life in the lower classes of western nations (to include "socialist" countries which also have seen rising wage gaps in spite of their social programmes -- but they all have in common adherence to contemporary macro theory)
If we ignore the word majority (since that will vary by jurisdiction I'm sure) and say that homeowners are more likely to vote and pay particular attention to issues that affect their home's price then this recent paper does provide some support: https://www.andrewbenjaminhall.com/homeowner.pdf

I'll say from personal experience, it does change your perspective. If a sewage treatment plant moves in next door, I can't move like a renter can. It's a feeling of real vulnerability that I didn't fully understand until I felt it.
I had seen some reports that it was a majority. Looking again, I'm seeing more like 30-40% for alcohol and 10-30% for drug abuse. It is very common by almost all accounts.

I am not squeamish about pointing out the nature of self-destructive behavior. I don't think it does anyone any favors to ignore things because we are uncomfortable with perceived implications. We can sympathize with drug abusers and their circumstances while recognizing that they are behaving in a self-destructive and often other-destructive way.

Non-essential surgeries tend to have longer wait times (such as hip replacements in elderly people), but conversely, essential care is accessible to everyone at no cost and in a timely manner.

I live in Canada, and recently had appendicitis. My appendix was removed less than 24 hours after symptoms began, and 10-12 hours after I arrived at the hospital. I walked in to the ER (after a very painful car ride), they asked me some questions and gave them my health card, they said how much, I said 7, they did blood tests and I had a CT scan, I waited a few hours, and then I was wheeled up to the operating room, after which I spent the night in the hospital and discharged the following morning. Not once did the question of insurance or payment come up, and I even had a private room after the surgery.

With regard to supply-chain attacks, since the TPMs are manufactured in China, they can just make a perfectly "genuine" TPM with a valid, signed key which has their backdoor. The attestation process protects DRM users (media companies) from device owners. It doesn't protect device owners from TPM manufacturers.

US immigration is cratering, it's a national crisis nobody cares about.

The supply constraint is old but its not why housing is high - housing prices are high even in places where there is a lot of construction. Monetary policy explains it a lot better, and it predicts that at some point the trend will reverse.
Only if this violates those laws.
Now I'll think twice before getting near another banana . . . :).
i'm not familiar with any law that forbids the government from using information that has been legally gathered just because they're the government. it may be illegal for the government to track or collect data on you while you use certain government-provided services, but that's not what's happening here.

if it's illegal to collect the information, then it's definitely illegal for the government to use it. but this information appears to be collected in a legal manner.

whether it should be legal is another matter entirely, but wishing doesn't make it so.
Ooh, new design?

Inaccurate if not misleading. The Liberal party are firm believers that private companies do everything better than Government. Pretty much the UK conservative party in function and form
It's also not 100% remote, as they require at least 1 on-campus class.
OTOH not everyone is crazy and not everyone is participating in this market. The only people playing are those who can afford to pay at these prices. Huge numbers of people are sidelined and can't afford to even put in an offer. IMO either those people on the sidelines manage to save or generate enough to jump into play or prices fall to meet the buyers when there are simply no more high income people who can pay those prices within a given local market, since high income people are ultimately a finite entity given how there are a few and finite amount of high income jobs in a given market to support these payments. Even with remote work shifting that regional effect some, I can't imagine there are enough people migrating to cause crazy long term effects outside of already supply constrained popular places (like Tahoe/other skiing etc).
I created this account for a specific question because the subject is something I'm thinking of right now. My question is:

How much time do you invest every day on this degree?

I dropped out of my MS degree 20 years ago and would love to do that again, but I feel like I would only have (at most) 1 hour a day to work on it due to all my work and family commitments. I could squeeze an additional hour at work to learn but that's about it.

> Python and Ruby have, I think, reasonably chosen to have slower simpler implementations so that they are able to nimbly respond to user needs and evolve the language without needing massive funding from giant corporations in order to support an implementation. (See also: JavaScript)

I'm not really sure I buy that argument for why JavaScript evolved slowly for a while. It seems more likely to me that it was due to the combination of basically being required to be 100% backwards compatible (no one making a browser wants to be the only one who doesn't work for a certain website), having no single canonical implementation (which means that all the common browsers would have to agree on a spec for something to be added or changed), and not really being used in the server context widely before Node. Python and Ruby both sacrificed backwards compatibility at times in their history, and both had one central implementation which others tended to draw from, so it was easier to get changes made.
Yes, and that’s even more of a reason to be putting extra money into the market if you have a ten year+ time horizon.
More and more Americans have been finding out how poor they are or are getting (relatively) in recent decades.
panic! and unwrap are more like assertions about program invariants, but of course this can be abused.

Exactly right. I would be much happier if the prices of the houses and properties around me didn't go up so much out of proportion to everything else.
Housing definitely is sticker than stocks - but that is a sleigh of hand. Buyers unwilling to lower prices are taking themselves off the market, not sustaining the market price.

Volume would go down, and whatever is sold will be done at a much lower market price.

Argentina had a RE bubble in 2017, and property prices dropped 40% since. It has happened, it is happening, and it will happen again.

What is this Facebook post with 1.1M comments?
I've noticed now several random pages on Facebook that have been offering some BIG PRIZE to a random person who comments.

All of the comments get followed up with a request to "sign up" at the top of the page.

It looks like all of these end up referencing a form on the submitentrys.com domain.

Giving a way a car or a trip to some exotic location has to have some catch.

For the truck page, it looks like the admins are in China and the US. One admin did not have a location to report (concerning).

Is this a new variation of how international data mining organizations get people in the US to give up their personal social data by signing up with these pages?

We know the fallout from the Russian orgs getting data from social media on US adults, but is this a new version post-Facebook's crack down on data access?
This seems to be awful trend in general. I often like to see the credits usually for song credits and most of the time they seem to get interrupted by this insistence on launching the next show. You see something similar now with youtube, where before the videos ends the real estate on the screen for the last 10 seconds becomes filled with suggestions for what to watch next. Often to the detriment of some important visual that's still on the screen. It's almost like there's a genuine fear that someone stopping to concentrate on the present represents a serious threat to their engagement metrics. I can say that I end up consuming less of all this stuff as a result of the frustration.
Recycling laws changed and plastic bags ceased to be readily available. It's not a change in prosecution that happened, it's a change in the availability of the disposal mechanism.
