This highlights a big problem in the world of music and audio software: everyone likes the idea of standards, just so long as they control the standard. And while this problem no doubt exists in other domains, it's painfully apparent in music and audio applications because the market is too small.

Clap won't succeed longterm because of many of the factors outlined in so many of these posts. Notably, Apple aren't going to support it in Logic because Audio Units work just fine, and AUv3 spans both iDevice and Mac markets. Steinberg almost certainly won't support it; they aren't even allowing VST 2.4 plug-ins to run in the Apple Silicon version of Cubase -- and this isn't for technical reasons. Ironically, Steinberg have been trying to push VST 3 since the release of Cubase v4.1 back in 2006, and it's still a giant pain 16 years later. If you look back at VST 1/2, part of the allure was the simplicity of the API; VST 3 tried to change the game too much towards MVC given that it looked at the time you might want to run the processing part of the plug-in on a different system than the user interface part.

Pro Tools doesn't get a mention in this thread, for the most part, but for better or worse it remains something of standard in audio post-production in the US. AAX isn't a bad re-imagining of what what RTAS/TDM-based plug-ins pre v10, and Avid aren't going to relinquish any control to third parties. Not least because the need for AAX (such as it is) resolves around support for the company's hardware control surfaces. EuCon was originally envisaged as an agnostic hardware controller protocol by Euphonix, but Avid purchased Euphonix, released the S6 and associated controllers and made EuControl into something of a tolerated illegitimate child.

Plug-in developers will have to follow the money, and I would to see the results of a survey correlating money spent on plug-ins based on the main host software used. My guess is that Pro Tools AAX on the Mac probably is the most lucrative, followed by Cubase and Logic. Depressing, but for all the moaning musicians tend to indulge in regarding fair compensation against any company they feel exploited by, there's a reason why music and audio applications and plug-ins remain the most heavily copy-protected software.

I don't know of anyone who's ever ditched their host application because of a plug-in format, and I highly doubt the CLAP is going to harm Apple, Steinberg, and Avid in the longterm.

git status scales with the number of files in the repo. Ask HN - Are there any common git operations that scale with the number of commits?
Just booked a cautionary flight on new airline called Breeze, nonstop LAX > WHITE Plains, bypassing the major NY airports and impressive bridge tolls in an A-221 configured with 5 seat rows where the middle seat is innovatively wider than the rest, at a very competitive coach fare even after the upsells.
A first passage with a new airline is always a leap of faith but my first translantic flight back in 1971 was a venerable, loud and smoky 707, so the long-haul single aisle flight doesn't faze me like it does the younger travellers.

So I guess I was ahead of you. When I asked why something with no use other can facilitating transactions should have value, a friend explained to me "it's like dollar, right? To transact with it you have to obtain it, and that creates demand. Then Bitcoin is finite, and these two facts give it its value". To that I responded "so what's preventing someone from creating bitcoin2, bitcoin3, etc. Nothing, so the supply isn't really finite, and so it should have no value". And so I decided I was out, long before Litecoin came along :-)

I was quite young at the time, but I've since learned that just because something has no value, doesn't mean you can't make money trading it.

This can get quite slow, and on larger projects you have to expend a lot of effort to keep build times reasonable.

Also, if you're serving a library for public consumption, you generally don't want to add the burden of extra build steps for the user to follow before they can use it. If it can all be automated to the point of invisibility to the user that's fine, but often it can't.
Planes crash very, very rarely nowadays. Two crashes overseas (correctly) grounded all planes of the type for years. Russia shot one down a couple of years back. A crazy deliberately crashed another in the Indian Ocean.

It is many, many times safer to fly than to drive the same distance. This is almost miraculous. It is also almost miraculous that the measures to make it so safe do not make flying enormously more expensive than it is.

> I really dislike anti-web3 sentiment from nontechnical people, but I love hearing it from technical people in the field. Why is that?

You like the idea that you're a contrarian.
You shouldn't be forced to work with racists and sexists, it's your right to demand such people be removed from the company.

The thing is today we know race is pseudoscience and doesn't actually exist. It's an outdated idea that's been proven completely wrong by advances in genome sequencing. The problem is many do not understand this because they don't understand nor care about science, they care more about feelings. That shouldn't be your problem though, because ultimately a racially and sexually charged atmosphere at work creates a toxic environment that makes it hard to work and may even affect your mental health. No one can be forced to tolerate that.

Of course being racist and sexist isn't illegal per se, but companies can use this as grounds for termination. As they should where coworkers are harassed.

Never thought I’d see a self-aware wolf in a technical discussion.
Why are you all of a suddenly replying to a super-deep thread? Is pfdietz your alt? Regardless if you're asking about the technical shortcomings of ammonia and cryogenic air storage I'm happy the enlighten:

Ammonia storage would first require a source of hydrogen. Currently almost all hydrogen is produced through steam reformation which releases carbon dioxide. So this has to be replaced with electrolysis, which is more energy intensive and has issues with corrosion of electrodes. Then there's the issue of heating up this hydrogen and nitrogen to ~400C and compressing it to fix the nitrogen into ammonia. Currently this is done through combustion of fossil fuels. That too needs to be replaced with an electric source. All these changes drastically increases the cost of producing ammonia over existing processes.

Cryogenic storage is essentially producing liquid nitrogen by refrigerating air, and then hearing the nitrogen to create a pressure gradient to drive a heat engine. Cooling the air is a huge energy sink, and releasing the energy often has to be coupled with a heat source in order transition the liquid nitrogen to a gas. It's actually using the heat gradient of the ambient air and the liquid nitrogen to drive the heat engine, and that ambient air often doesn't have the required energy density to produce more than a few dozen megawatts. Existing prototypes often scavenge waste heat from a fossil fuel power plant. But again, not an option if you plan to eliminate fossil fuels.

Ah, I didn't know it's called whale song, but yes that's what I mean. Low power setting might be correct, I think you hear that typically in approach phase. I have been flying with many types planes from Vickers propeller, Caravelle, 727, L-1011, 717 and its predecessors to 747-8, A350, Dreamliner, but I never remember hearing a sound making me feel so uncomfortable. Despite the fact that the old ones were uncomfortably loud. After over 40 years of flying I nearly thought, now I can understand people suffering from flying anxiety.

Don't remember hearing it on a A320 neo, but I guess they come with 2 engine options?

Ask HN: Startup CEOs, how do you currently get insights from your accounts?
I'm reaching out to startup CEOs to test a product proposition and I was wondering if I could help here on hacker news.

I second that. Sweetwater has been a great source for learning about audio equipment.

I love the trend I see from YouTube channels by creative tools vendors. They want to sell their products, so they reach out by providing useful educational material. I've learned a lot from them, as they helped inform my purchases.
I was responding purely to your point about working conditions.

It took me a while to find out what Canva actually does, but from https://www.canva.com it appears they are an online design / collab tool.

To be fair, that could mean a _lot_ of functionality and code providing a rich, SPA, JS heavy experience. Modern JS frameworks aren't exactly known for being concise.

But still, 60 million lines of code and half a million files is a sure sign that someone said at one point "sure, we can throw all these generated files into git!". Didn't someone on the team say "hey, it takes 10 seconds to run git status, can we move this junk out and do this another way??"

Given that 70% of their repo is generated files, that discussion and the tradeoffs involved don't get nearly enough attention from OP.

Isn't that how most societies have effectively been run for thousands of years? I'm not saying it's the best we can do, but it in terms of societal outcomes it can't be much worse than the current dating scene.
> It's still surprising to have any generated things there. E.g. you could make the same case for keeping built binaries in Git as well.

This is not surprising at all. In fact, it's quite standard to commit string translations. Just because you can run the code generation/string replacement step as part of the build that does not mean it's a good idea to generate everything from scratch at every single build.

String translations hardly change once they are introduced, running the build step takes significant amounts of time, and if anything fails then your product can break in critical and hard to notice ways.
The Chinese nukes will be mothballed long short of their design life, just because they will be unable to compete on cost.

That will save us from an absolute rash of accidents as habitually corrupt administration fails to operate at necessary standards. With some luck, most of those planned will be cancelled before completion as their operating cost is recognized as already undercut.
One step further: Options are just a way for companies to get out of paying you a salary. (I got them from Microsoft, and from Intel before they were offered to all employees.)

Options = salary

In other words: exercise them as SOON as they vest. I had two financial planners tell me that over 15 years (I fired the first one), and both were 100% correct in hindsight.

> If you value options at $0 - just join FAANG and never join a startup.

Basically, yes.

Most (large majority) of startups can't pay market rate salaries. So if you value options literally at $0, then a startup is only an underpaid overworked job, so skip it.

So to even consider a startup job, you need to mentally give some expected value (probability * value) to those options. The probability is going to be very low, so the potential value needs to be high, i.e. don't join without a significant option grant.
Even if you magically knew which startups could be viable 8 years down the road, there's tons of factors completely outside your control that could tank a startup in an instant; e.g. covid, a world war, regulation, etc.

That "carpool as a service" startup might have had a great business strategy up until a pandemic showed up. And if you're spending 8-10 years waiting for a payoff, you only get ~3 shots to pick correctly.
All failures of nukes thus far have been direct consequences of inadequately competent and scrupulous administration.

Administration and adherence to standards of excellence are not improving.

We stand on the shoulders of giants. It seems foolish not to learn from their experience. What took them decades to learn through trial and error can be read in days.

That isn’t to discount action. Reading books alone won’t make a person successful, but taking some time to read and then put the lessons into practice can greatly increase a persons chances of success and speed reaching the goal.

Bill Gates basically created the idea of a software company and has been hugely successful. He is a big reader, has a blog dedicated to the books he is reading, and gives yearly recommendations of the best books he’s read from the past year. He reads a few hours each day and takes a vacation each year to just get away, read, and think. I’m pretty sure he did this while he was still at Microsoft as well.
A relevant piece of information that could be attached to the San Onofre reactor argument is that we are talking about a 1st generation reactor, from the late 60’s.
