Television has been in a race to the bottom for almost a century. Profitability is the optimization target not viewer edification or self-reported satisfaction. The fragmentation of the media market means viewers filling out the long tail. Way back when there were three channels and broadcasts ended at midnight. Now niches are filled with YouTube channels that can have as few as a dozen views.

The business model of monthly subscriptions incentivizes maintaining just enough quality and content updates to keep people from cancelling. Like World of Warcraft.

> if you build dangerous roads everywhere and lots of kids die in car accidents, maybe something could be done about the roads, not the free roaming kids.

That is accepted that pedestrians need to behave so that cars can drive around at relatively high speeds in very public and shared spaces is an unbelievable accomplishment by the automobile industry.

Go ask a CFA and they’ll tell you that buying stocks in these companies is not investing, but speculating. Nothing in these company’s fundamentals warrants any investment. If you buy a stock based on the idea that someone will buy it at a higher price without considering it’s intrinsic value, it’s speculating.

I think people from coastal California, such as the couple featured in the article, take for granted the spontaneous joy when random friends and family pop into the city, because of a work trip for example, and try to meet up. And then proceed to have a deep meaningful conversation in your native language where you get each other's references, figures of speech, jokes, and are generally on the same wavelength.

It seems shortsighted to move to tiny coastal city in Europe that you can probably see in a weekend visit, where you rarely get to express yourself in your own language, spending years constantly frustrating and annoying people when speaking their language, having no cultural attachment, possibly destroying your career, and the sinking feeling that you may never see most of your friends and family again let alone that exciting spontaneous visit.

I thought it was because you could get a place on the beach at a considerably lower price than California but the city mentioned, Cascais, seems similarly priced. The lower crime rate is a compelling reason to move but still seems insufficient.

One monitor off of the dock, and one direct attached?

Maybe this is due to slight variance in startup time (wake from sleep) of the monitors. And also, maybe Mac is sensitive to that order.

Try plugging one in, wait for it to display desktop, then plug the other. I bet you get 100% consistency then.

An issue in writing a thoroughly helpful response, is that successful APL and K implementations are usually applied in a largely corporate and proprietary context.

I lack a list of applications to link which you could look at.

However I'd still say APL/J/K applications require vastly less resource, and initial investment than most tools whilst providing on-par or greater computational power.

I keep thinking of going back to a flip phone. Man I miss that little phone. Wish there were something non-Apple to replace it with.

Having worked on Audio Codecs and even though my livelihood depends on it, I would like to say 3.5mm jacks suck! You need to figure out how much resistive and how much capacitive load any headphone has. You need to detect if it has mic, if it does is it US or China standard. Need to make sure that the DAC and amplifier don’t consume too much power yet have a good dynamic range for arbitrary cable length. Let the phone send digital audio data along with power using USB-C and have the earpieces play the audio, it’d be much simpler IMO

Ask HN: Is it true that any community that grows big enough, gets ruined?
Have you ever seen an example where anything became better than before when it grew big. There is almost a law that a company, a group, a community, a game or anything once it grows past its core audience it just gets ruined.

I have seen a game with millions of players become crappy once they became mainstream and started to attract very young and very old. Suddenly all jokes were inappropriate and game themes were too family friendly.

I have seen fb go from a place of being basically school wide chat to family announcements forum.

I have seen restaurants go from personalized/affordable service, to multi-store chain food that is barely edible and more expensive.

I have seen small startup where everyone enjoyed working and build dreams to become required corporate happy hours.

Take YC, I have heard from many founders it's not what it used to be...

On that note, I am glad that HN is still a niche community and hope stays that way, and UI becomes even more crappy so people from other cultures and walks of life don't start joining in. There are negatives to this, but not huge because there are other platforms for general population. (Imagine a forum for doctors to discuss new treatments and everyone can join in, soon it'd be r/AskDoc and of almost no value to actual doctors).
It’s not just financial advice, betting on crypto without understanding what it means is basically gambling, except the person might not be aware. If you are a specialist in a field, wouldn’t you advise them about the technical details of what they are doing?
Netflix absolutely needs to stop cancelling abruptly.

They must use their internal metrics to decide that a show isnt attracting a critical mass fast enough, then they cancel. I know there sometimes are other reasons due to increased costs of actors for following seasons etc but...

I have avoided almost every show that Netflix canceled abruptly without a conclusive ending.

I don't watch a lot (time constraints) so I check carefully before I choose to watch a new show. Netflix is full of shows I would have watched if they hadn't cancelled them. Their current strategy is ' leave a sour taste on enthusiast forums everywhere ' informing people like me to not waste my time.

I'm a year or 3 behind others in my viewing schedule and I know many in the same boat.

As someone who grew up reading Robert Jordan or watched Breaking Bad from the first season, you learn to wait for some shows or products to be complete before engaging.

There's a big, but disappearing, middle ground between "urban city center" and "suburban housing development."

Single-use zoning laws are a big part of why we have this model where everyone living in a house needs to drive just to get to the corner store, and everyone who can walk anywhere is living in a small apartment in an expensive city.

I grew up in two different suburban small towns, where we were each just a couple blocks from the corner store, the laundromat, and the local library. I could walk to my friends' houses to hang out, ride my bike around, and pick up a pizza for $5 to share with my friends.

It wasn't glamorous or fashionable like city life, and it wasn't as sterile as a housing development, but it was a good place to grow up.
it's fine to speculate, as long as the person doing the speculating knows what they're doing. The only problem happens when you speculate, but think you're investing.
Parallel yes, as other people mentioned, this is almost the entire point of using FPGAs. Regarding Asynchronous, it depends on what you mean. Xilinx(AMD)/Altera(Intel) FPGAs are designed from bottom up to be synchronously clocked. The fabric and tools are designed to use synchronous pipeline registers everywhere to minimize combinatorial logic and increase throughput. You might want to have a design with multiple asynchronous clock domains, but this increases complexity and requires care whenever you want to jump between clock domains. Trying to force asynchronous design into an FPGA seems counter productive. What would be the advantage of asynchronous design?
True, I assume OP's sister is an adult. If OP's sister did not consult him, it's probably because she didn't want to hear his advice. “computer guy” != financial advisor.

That might be the difference, nobody (that I've met) in the US would count a public holiday in PTO time.

Google's not super exceptional in this matter (that's mostly their pay/on-site experience). I have 4 weeks (20 days) at the moment, and have for a few years, along with 8 paid holidays (28 days total). Next year I get a fifth week (33 days with holidays). I don't work at a FAANG/MANGA company, but just some random company in the Mid-West.

But I've also worked service jobs before with 0 paid days. Holidays were mandatory work days because everyone who did have decent jobs were off and wanted to eat at a restaurant. The talk about the bottom in the US being below elsewhere isn't a myth. The US doesn't like putting floors on matters this side of the 60s.
Time to type in my undergraduate thesis from 1986, in which I used BBC Basic to do information theoretic analysis of DNA sequences [0]. I used to go and get dinner while the few-hundred-line program would run. Presumably now it would finish before I finished lifting my finger off the enter key.

Not just congenital disorders, but mental health disorders as well. It's been known for a while that paternal age is a risk factor for schizophrenia.

Interesting. I'll look into it and see whether it's possible.

While my highly-tuned Wifi 6 setup at home is honestly quite excellent (even for my competitive FPS gaming needs, and even wireless VR has been brilliant), it would be nice to ditch it for higher reliability.

Problem is, I'm pretty sure my rental has a single coax socket for cable TV (which is used for my NBN internet connection now). I'll have a look though!
I'm sorry if my word order affected your understanding of what I meant, but I don't believe a usbc-female to aux male cable exists. If it does, it's certainly not common enough to warrant correction.
Mmmmmm, MS Teams... Don't get me started. Try pasting a code snippet into MS Teams, it will happily remove all the indentation - even if you paste it in a code block! Extra good luck with yaml.

_Why_ is that the American colonists were very familiar with life in contemporary England, which had recently had a civil war over (among other things) religious freedom; the Pilgrims were mostly people who had fled England because of religious persecution. I believe you were risking a charge of treason to run your mouth about the King or members of the royal family. I guess I just assumed that the framers wanted to try and design a government where that wouldn't easily happen.

Come on now. It is clear what you believe, and it's fine that you believe it. I'm just personally tired of reading people whack Twitter, Facebook, etc. with a stick that doesn't exist. When we pass laws or ratify amendments requiring the Twitters of the world to platform everyone, the people crying about free speech on Twitter will have a legitimate gripe. Until then, they just won't.

Update: here are my complete notes on migrating.

https://gist.github.com/ianchesal/5c96c566ab99b60c2c557711fa...

I thought they were in the other comment. The migration is pretty simple now that heroku only hosts the static part of the site and the data is in Atlas.
Wireless network links should be exclusively the domain of nomadic, temporary or sacrificial endpoints.

If the device is expected to be used in a fixed spacial or temporal manner, or you care about the data conveyed across the link, constrain its path as much as possible with a waveguide.

> Can’t do two video outs on one usbc.

He means TB3, which has a DP signal inside it.

Sure you can. you need some device (dock) on the usbc, that can split off the 2nd signal. However, what you can't do is 3 video outs (MST). PC can do that. Of course there's only so much bandwidth so I suppose that's why Mac has decided this isn't worth supporting.

Well, there used to be a MBA and MB (not P) that only had USBC and not TB3. Sure, on those you could only get 1 video out per port. I'm guessing this is again a decision about bandwidth limitation.

> Can’t have a window stretch across multiple monitors.

You can, it's just not the default. I think that was a misfeature and I like the constraint personally. I don't think I've been reality distorted, I think I do really like it. Yes, I like it. Srsly, I usually have some kind of dashboard, doc reference, chats and what not, over there. When I slide a window over on the main monitor, to get more space on some primary app, I don't want that space release to cause me to shuffle a window over there, like a domino effect. It's a good thing that windows stay only on one monitor. As well, it becomes clear which screen owns the menu bar when that app is active. (No comment on whether global menu bar is a good thing.)

System Preferences > Mission Control > Displays have separate Spaces

is the setting to change this behavior.

> menu bar disappears when you have firefox full screen on another monitor

Sounds like a firefox bug. I guess it's still fair game for this web page.
Flatpak's sandbox is pretty weak and there are many subtle loopholes that allow for trivial escapes. Relying on it as a security measure is not a great idea.

An example of such a thing, that is related to this thread, is the X11 socket being accessible even when the directory it appears to be contained in isn't bind mounted into the flakpak sandbox's mount namespace. This is because regular file system permissions do not apply to abstract sockets (which X11 can and does listen with).

I think unsharing the network namespace would fix this, and configuring X11 to not listen with any abstract sockets might be possible, but this is just one of many examples of trivial sandbox escapes that most people would never even consider.

The best bet to isolate untrusted software is to run it under a different UID (less safe) or inside of a VM (probably very safe).

Not sure if you're joking but I bought a media player and a point-and-shoot camera within the past few years. I wanted to reduce the influence of a smartphone on my life.

They're both next level when compared the the capabilities of a smartphone. The camera has Zeiss lenses, has amazing optical zoom, all kinds of manual and automatic modes, and takes far better night shots than any phone. The media player's battery lasts weeks, plays every file type, and has actual hardware playback buttons and a volume knob. Oh, and it drives all kinds of nice headphones perfectly well.

And neither of these devices interrupts me with notifications or demands any amount of my attention.

I don't think I'll get another smartphone until I absolutely have no choice. It's better for my mental health anyway to not have some magic device that I rely on for everything and I can't stop pulling out of my pocket whenever my brain needs stimulation.
> you could learn the syntax in order to make a more informed assessment

I'm fairly sure my assessment wouldn't change even if I did learn the syntax. It would still read like noise. The only difference would be that I could understand the noise.

I've read and worked on enough super-terse code in other languages to feel confident in that.

> Do also seek out geocar’s posts. They are well written and to my mind convincing.

I guess it comes down to how ones brain is wired then. For example, I have the exact opposite reaction to multiple pages of code vs terse one-liners compared to geocar[1]. I don't have trouble remembering what range() does because it says so right on the tin, unlike for example + in k (addition or, surprise, transpose).
