> whilst practically speaking often true, this is actually not the case. w.r.t. AAX: during parameter automation events that involve a continuous change (e.g., a linear increase in gain), the process block size is reduced to 64 samples (if i recall correctly), and parameters are interpolated by the host and fed into the processor as fixed values for that time period. it means that it's not possible to answer the question: "at sample n, what is the value of this parameter?"

This is correct if you implement parameter events naively (i.e. following the documentation!), but there's a way around it to get per-sample events. The unfortunate thing here is that it's not possible to talk about the protocol openly, AND a lot of devs use JUCE (or whatever wrapper) which doesn't support AAX's capabilities in this area.

The bigger issue here is that VST3 doesn't pass MIDI events (CC/RPN/NRPN) directly to/through the plugin, which is a major hassle if you're doing anything that heavily relies on those facilities like scripters for orchestral plugins.
The master/main shift was fueled by political correctness. If “master” wasn't a synonym of a word associated with slavery, it would've never happened.
Bureaucracy, managerial or otherwise, is ossification of a system. Is that a problem? Only when the system itself exhibits even minor problems. With rigid bureaucracy in place, corrections to those problems become major tasks, requiring changes to the bureaucratic structures surrounding them.

Frankly, I'm more concerned with mass-marketed ideologies, with people conflating their own identities with something advertised to them. Especially post-WWII, we've rigid, often diametrically opposed, ideologies stopping societal corrections more than bureaucracy could hope to.

Both of those traits exist in capitalism and socialism. I think capitalism has the incentives (and inherent competition) in place to really refine marketing better, though. Maybe that's why it seems to be a bigger problem in a capitalist country.
Unfortunately the US doesn't work on that legal standard, though I think that's a nice approach.

In practice, almost no third parties submit prior art, which is a lot simpler than submitting solutions. So I doubt people will submit any significant amount of solutions.
> Like before you basically had to "somehow magically know" who could do an abortion

There is nothing magical about this. There are lists for this, from official sites, from NGOs, from health centers. The major difference this law made, was that you were only allowed to passively inform about this stuff. Now it will be allowed to be more actively.
Popping the Crypto Bubble
I recommend you create aliases. I've got a 'git-squash' 'git-back' and 'git-update' aliases created, I almost forget they are not part of core git. Combined with scm-breeze that allows files and branches to be referenced with numbers... it's really fast and powerful
>This is also why Reddit rarely lets posters link to original content sources like YouTube, IG, and TikTok on major subs any more.

A lot of content creators spam Reddit to get clicks and eyeballs (obviously). Some subreddits have nearly become 100% YouTube threads. As a result some subs/admins have started to craft tighter requirements for the links posted to bring some sort of balance back to the content.
You could do something like this:

plus_one(x::Number) = x + 1
function plus_one(x)
@warn "untested type usage of plus_one"
x + 1
end

That's cumbersome, but a macro could make it less annoying.
So, it would be interesting to compare these tools to others that may be better known. How is 'dnsping' any better than 'dig'? How is 'dnstraceroute' any better than other traceroute solutions? How is 'dnseval' any better than just a simple bash script wrapped around 'dig'?
The important area is paying customers.

All the things you mention are only nice to haves.

Because money from customers allows for inefficiencies.

Good luck.
I didn’t even know about some of the things that the author went over in this article, but it’s undeniable that power-mad mods have ruined anything I ever enjoyed about Reddit over the past ten years. And that there seem to no longer be many interesting voices or fair debate on the site. I found myself logging in less and less over the past four years and when I do, I recognize it less and less also. It just isn’t Reddit at all these days, no matter what logo is on it

It truly is bizarre - I've driven a lot of cars lately and this exact BMW shifter took the cake of the most unintutitive and annoying to use by far. (And it's not even the most dumbass UX decision in that BMW by far.)
Google News has become completely worthless for me.

It takes my YouTube usage and promotes news stories based on that.

But that makes absolutely no sense. I go to YouTube to relax and/or look at things that are not so important. Sudoku solving, gaming news, and/or chess stuff.

I used to go to Google News to have an understanding of what’s happening in the world. But now my Google News feed is overridden by stories about the same things I see on YouTube.

Outside the main 2-3 stories of the day (which is invariably the top political news from the U.S. which one already knows about through the zeitgeist) everything else is personalized stories and hardly News.
> Erlang messages have a semantic as-if there are copied. (Because that's the only way to do it over a network, and Erlang wants to be agnostic over whether two 'processes' are on the same machine or not.)

I think that approach could be called pessimization. The assumption that some components are on the same machine, or better yet the same address space, unlocks some significant optimizations. Sometimes you can be sure that a particular system won't need to scale beyond one machine. And of course, the more efficient the implementation is, the bigger a system can get without having to scale beyond one machine. (Aside: I was reading earlier today about how Uber heavily uses microservices. I wonder if Uber could be a monolith running on one machine given the right architecture and implementation.)
The point was, at such a developmental stage, large portion of population wouldn't be capable of automating stuff, so keeping people busy and alive would be better than starve them with nothing to do.
Not debating the legality of gambling/crypto.

Just pointing out that "things that make money" can be a fairly low bar.
I would argue it's impossible to know what you really changed without the integration tests.

But also, why is it any different why are changes at a repo level all that much easier to track than, say, inspecting changed files and running tests according to what changed?

Pacman: Attacking Appple M1 Pointer Authentication with Speculative Execution

I live in NYC and was first-hand there for the BLM protests. Can attest that they were almost unilaterally peaceful from my anecdotal experience. The police were extreme in their responses. I was at Un Sq and ppl in the streets were just chanting "no justice, no peace" (but peacefully doing so, I suppose a bit of irony), and suddenly the police yelled out to disperse. I was off the to the side just to observe a moment of history, and watched ppl obey that order, yet personally got rammed by a police shield and hit with a baton because it just takes a crowd a certain amount of time to move. I was livid and saw police barbarity in action.

There certainly were bad actors. I saw a police van lit on fire. But from what I read in the papers, these were prosecuted and out of staters coming to NY to basically get their rocks off. The overall movement was peaceful.
I don't see how your suggestion helps in the "I changed standard library and there are 10000 downstream test to rerun" use case, which is what they blogged about.

You either:

* Just don't test such changes at change time, break down and push the testing effort to downstream projects in disguise of "dependency management".

* Structure your engineering effort to avoid such changes, for example avoid having a base library shared between teams.

Neither is ideal for a corporation environment, because both harms velocity. We accept these in the "open source world" because we don't have better options, but the same does not hold for corps.
Show HN: Simple games ported to Scala 3 – Try them in the browser
Hi everybody, I just ported some 2018-scalajs games to Scala 3, it is amazing that such 8-year old code base required less than an hour to get all the games working in Scala 3.

I encourage you to try Scala.js/Scala3 which work really nice.
Well, Reddit is hugely popular and its userbase is many times higher than here, not that that's necessarily a good thing. So it stands to reason that more exposure to posts leads to more people wanting to share their new discoveries and coming here with a "filtered" set of links.
Google is so big now that handling each and everyone of its properties is likely to have not one, not two, but multiple conflicts of interest.

I'm not a big fan of his so I'm not sure, I just remember him saying responsibility is a prerequisite to a meaningful life.
I actually don’t believe the “start of life” is decisive or especially relevant. First and foremost I think the constitution and bill of rights give you a right to security of your person which extends to terminating an unwanted pregnancy. The state forcing you to carry to term is a violation of that right. I believe the right of the mother supersedes other rights here because there is only one way to exercise that right, and because self ownership is so core to our constitutional rights.

If you favor originalism, the the 9th amendment guarantees unenumerated rights which were deep rooted at the founding. Abortion before “quickening” was legal in all 13 states at the signing and had been part of common law for hundreds of years, so the 9th applies. The 14th amendment should apply that to the states, and the argument some originalists make about resetting the clock seems dumb to me.

So here are two very reasonable paths to the right that don’t involve the question about when laws start or some vague notion to the right to privacy. I think you need to have both an activist reading of constitutional law and a disregard for security of ones person to sidestep both arguments.
Young people are opting out because they’ve seen what the deal looks like and say “nah, I can do better” by doing less, or nothing at all (China’s “lie flat/tang ping” movement and similar elsewhere).

You can’t make unnecessary/unenjoyable responsibility desirable to people who see through it.
On top of that: anonymity should not be required to explore controversy at all. That’s the chilling effect. The issue is that as a society we have failed royally to internalize tolerating freedom of expression. Instead we choose to censor and silence people who wish to explore controversy even though we have laws in place that protect one’s freedom to express themselves however they desire without damaging recourse to their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Anonymity is certainly a tool that can be used in dire situations when there are real credible threats and the stakes are high. However it takes a certain type of courage to express oneself freely which would be really nice to see in the majority of all other situations. Instead of exploring controversy anonymously, we should aim as a society to explore it normally and simply build up the intellectual maturity and capacity to tolerate controversy like adults and not children…
> merely how they do be

Going on a tangent here but I've started seeing more "do be" used lately. However, it doesn't seem right for some reason I can't pinpoint (English is not my first language).

Is it from a dialect?
This and the W6H are what I tell any new developer to include when briefing their efforts to clients or management.

The W6H overlaps the Heilmeier Catechism some:

- Who: Who will perform the work?
- What: What work will be performed?
- Where: Where will the work be performed? Is the env. suitable or are purchases needed? If purchases, what?
- Why: Why are you/we the people to perform this work? Why does this work need to be performed? Why are we not using an off-the-shelf solution (this is where you can present an Analysis of Alternatives and/or Gap Analysis)?
- When: When will the work start? When is it expected to end? When is it needed and what is it needed by?
- Which: Which customer are you performing the work for?
- How: What are your planned methods, at a highlevel, and reasoning behind those choices?

The original source for the above is Aristotle, but thanks to Wikipedia [1] I've always thought the way I use them to more match Hermagoras of Temnos, as quoted in pseudo-Augustine's De Rhetorica[2]:

Damn, I forgot about games, too.

I play only occasionally, and never the competitive sorts. I play CoD, Factorio, Age of Empires, etc. Played some Vice City, GTA-V back in the day.

In VC, GTA-V, I could never remember even the most common roads.

I always found myself looking at the map at the corner much more than the main screen when I needed to get anywhere.

If I played the competitive sorts, maybe I would discovered that I suck at those, too.

But when navigating IRL, I am a responsible driver, an alert "walker". Yet I never comprehend directions.

In the city, I always end up using the longer route than the shorter one, through more common and active places, because I know them more. I end up using the longer route most of the time. I have some "anchor points" in the city, and I always navigate through them, because I know those routes more. I don't risk other routes.

Today, I could not even recognize the route I just went through- when making the return trip (two hours stay). I had to ask around for directions. (Not my city)

Yet, besides this, my life is totally normal. Weird.
I also wish more studies would be done on aluminum as an antiperspirant in deodorant. We already know that aluminum is not good for humans. As new information comes to light in science, as it has with sunscreens, it seems prudent to do reviews.
This one provides manu-matic mode, which you can operate without looking at buttons. Not sure if this is a requirement for a new car though.
> Monarchy.

You don't seem to know what a monarch is. You're ranting about a French regulator; you don't seem to be aware that the French got rid of their monarchy before the American colonies did.

> if you clowns think discourse that defends assholery from the bureaucracy wins you any favors or makes Europeans lives any better, you more stupid than I’m giving you credit for here.

The value of your "credit" diminishes with each post you make. Apparently your view is that "Anyone with half a brain will be aghast at what is happening is the EU"; well, either Europeans are, in fact, aghast, or you're really referring to your own "countrymen", which I suspect is a rather small clique of USAian tech bros.

Have a chill-pill, dude. GDPR is European law, for Europeans. You don't have to come to Europe, and you don't have to trade here. If you stick to jurisdictions that don't, in your view, involve assholery, then everything's copacetic for everyone, right?

I have a strong sense that you want to trade in Europe, without having to comply with European law. That's not going to work.
My thought was it should/could work like say with youtube:

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2807622?hl=en

https://donotpay.com/learn/youtube-dmca/

All that should apply to the patent office publishing material as much as anything else.
The main reason I was thinking of a fixed tool is it seems that it would be possible to have more precision with it. One example that I've been wanting to do for a while is make my own slide rules. For that you need to cut 1/4 inch boards (or plexiglass) into 3/4 inch wide (or so) strips, then make a tongue and groove cut.

What I came up with so far is an adjustable router table for a Dremel that you could use with a 1/16 inch engraving bit, designed for my 3D printer. Just finished making my most recent prototype, but need to rough cut the stock on a regular table saw to try it out.

My initial prototype design is here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5395048 however I've made a number of tweaks to it (things like getting the screw thread sizing dialed in to account for tolerances on my 3d printer, etc -- eventually I'll post a fully parameterized version that can be tweaked individually).

Right now it is designed to hold the Dremel in one hand, feed the work piece through the other. It has a primary pivot fence with 1/32 inch scale marks, and the second pivot fence can be attached to center a work piece (my current design eliminates this second fence and replaces it with a button that works just as good).

My next Dremel related 3d design will be a mounting system that attaches where the plastic screws are that holds the motor brushes in place, then I'll see if I can do a lathe, table saw, hand held circular saw, etc).
This is ultimately a concern borne out of consumerism and fashion and it's something that we don't talk about enough in the technology sector. Programmer's are just as much consumers as anybody else. The most popular tool isn't always the best one, but the one that was best marketed, and there's huge pressure to consume more and keep up with trends. This in addition to the surplus capital that has poured into the tech sector over the past decade is what explains the tool saturation you are experiencing.

My 2c, if you want to have a long and successful career, you will need to focus your attention on the problems you are trying to solve and not necessarily the tools. Just focusing on the actual business problems you are trying to solve will filter out a huge amount of copy-cat tools that are novel but aren't necessarily adding value.
Note that with the Julia differential equation solvers, you can, without rewriting your code, test it with SciPy's solvers, MATLAB's solvers, C solvers (CVODE), Fortran solvers (Hairer's, lsoda, etc.), and the pure Julia methods (of which there are many, and many different libraries). https://diffeq.sciml.ai/stable/solvers/ode_solve/ Even a few methods for quantum computers. This also includes methods with uncertainty quantification (Taylor methods with interval setups, probabilistic numerics). So no, you can run these kinds of checks without rewriting your model. (Of course, some of the solvers to check against will be really slow, but this is about correctness and the ability to easily check correctness)
My crotchety take on this is that basically anything worth consuming has remained that way excelusively by not being profitable.
Because I doubt many would. I think reaction would be "Sure, this is nice I guess."

But I don't think it is anything more than marketing on the side of GitHub. And I think what annoys people is when people seem to think it is more than that.
I should try to keep track of how often I use search engines. Because it certainly feels like I use them less and less.

I more or less know where to go for what I am looking for these days.

At the same time I get less and less interesting/useful results from Google.
Kagi & Brave’s new search engine look promising. And there are many other alternatives like Marginalia, Yacy, Swisscows, Ecosia, Bing, DDG, Mojeek, Qwant, Startpage, etc
Interesting. What do you mean?

I know they compete in AI research, but has (no longer quite so) OpenAI shown any sign of competing for Google's cash cows?
I think a more charitable interpretation is that the developers currently working on Rust GUI toolkits are still trying to figure out what a good Rust-native GUI looks like. I'm optimistic that the results will be worth the wait.
Did you read the part where I said: "when they are given the option and full power to do so."?

Microsoft, just like Apple, engaged in anti-competitive practices that prevented user choice.

The solution to both of these situations, is either the courts force apple to allow user choice, just like it forced Microsoft, or for new laws to be created to do something similar.
Seriously, congratulations on the offer.
