Yes, the new analogue music stuff being produced now is really amazing. For instance, the tracking (ability to produce the correct pitch) on some of the newer eurorack oscillators is amazing across many octaves.

Also, everything analogue feels so snappy, compared to doing stuff in “the box”. On a computer, the audio must be buffered whenever transferred between components, and this really adds up to noticeable latency when doing real time stuff.

Of course, there is stuff which is not feasible to do in analogue. Spring reverbs are cool, but it is far from digital reverbs like the Valhalla shimmer.

(Speaking of telephones, I really miss the times when the phones did not have all this latency. It feels like speaking in a walkie-talkie some times.)
It doesn't work well with extremely large files. That was one of the good things about TextWrangler.
+1.
There's no way one can build a fully digital audio system; the signal is analog when it is produced and is going to return analog before reaching our ears.
Also I don't see analog/digital as mutually exclusive; they're two worlds that very often work together benefiting from the technology of their time; digital chips displaced very soon analog ones in calculators because we didn't and still don't have the technology for example to build ideal or very close to ideal opamps and other parts, but should we one day reach that point, it would be a game changer: as an example, the number of transistors needed for calculating a square root in a couple opamps would then be two orders of magnitude smaller than the simplest processor, not to mention no digital quantization, no clock needed, virtually no delay and way less power consumption.
I'm not saying that we could build a analog computer running Doom, in all honesty I can't even imagine how it could do that without involving something digital, but maybe swapping more elements of a digital system with analog ones might be doable one day to get the best of both worlds.
Other replies already addressed the screen time/hanging out together aspect, so I will comment on being unsupervised.

I was a kid on the early-ish internet and I was free to "surf the interwebs" unsupervised. The internet is not the same anymore but I think the general rules still apply. This was a very valuable learning experience for me.

Based on my own experience (anecdata, I know) what I found really helped me is grownups around me explaining things clearly and hammering a few facts into my brain:

1. Don't put anything about your real self on the internet (this is increasingly harder due to social media, I'm glad I was just on IRC back in the day).

1a. What goes in the internet will stay in the internet forever. Mind the info you get out there, even if it's supposed to be a private message. Leaks happen.

1b. Encourage them not to use their real name and address, to be pseudonymous at the least (or better, completely anonymous). Help them set up accounts that don't link to their identity (specially email which is the center of your online identity nowadays).

2. Not everyone on the internet is who they say they are. On the internet nobody knows you're a dog.

2a. Be clear on what grooming and pedos are and that they're out there to catch you off-guard.

2b. Show them what spam, scams, malicious sites, phishing, etc. look like and how to prevent damage.

3. No matter what happens or how deep in shit they are they can come to you for help. You won't approve the ugly things they do, but you will forgive them and help them clean up the mess. If in doubt, come get help. The earlier you ask for help, the faster the cleanup.

Make all of this real by showing them what could happen. Show them real cases (there's plenty on the news) and the consequences. Show them how easy it is to trick the other side of the conversation. E.g. it was eye-opening for me to watch a friend of my brother pretend he was an MD from a completely different city on the IRC. He was just a horny teen looking to meet women. He often joked about how we were probably chatting with other men lying about their identity too.

Once your kids are old enough to understand this then they can go on the internet 100% unsupervised (it was around 8-9 y/o for me but everyone is different).

This will take a while given your kids' age, but we all know time flies. Better get them ready before the time comes!

Isn't the main hindrance the cost and speed of development: You can buy an off the shelf digital FPGA/CPU chip/board and get one of a thousand software engineers to start building a prototype tomorrow.

An analogue solution is a much costlier and time consuming solution.
Not really.

It will never be over, but digital eats analog a bit more each day.

> But the point of the arena allocator is to make allocations and deallocatins very fast... Doing it on an Arena would save a lot of computation that would be required in a typical heap allocator.

Relative to a completely naive allocator yes, but relative to any other kind of pooling (e.g. Go's internal small object pools, or a `sync.Pool`, or just a `make([]T, 1000)`) the advantage of a bump allocator is marginal without the ability to avoid the mark overhead and actually throw it all out at once.

SAT/SMT solving is indeed a much more structured approach and I agree that the analogy does not work too well for the backtracking part. I think that it rather applies to the well-established incorporation of "restarts" of the search. Even thogh SAT/SMT solving is deterministic it still tries to avoid local maxima via such pseudo-random heuristics.

> Blatant self-promotion manages to cause a visceral reaction in me

Your visceral reaction is because you are not the intended audience for a piece of marketing.
For example, music that’s noise to me may be melody to someone else.

We have had so many instances of being exposed to marketing not intended for us that we (a) don’t want to perpetuate the cycle by marketing ourselves (b) don’t even recognize good marketing any more.

The reason for this is that in the internet age, we’re in an always-on marketplace. Being from India, the internet age feels like being in an tourist trap indian bazaar where someone is always trying to sell you something.

This causes you to have your guard up until you can escape to the safety of your hotel room…and that is exhausting.

The answer is to not participate in the tourist trap market. Build your own market (figuratively) by doing your marketing your way and hope people/buyers find you.

If you have never needed to find out why a particular piece of code is the way it is, then you have been very lucky to work in very clean code bases. In my own experience, this has been an infrequent but inevitable part of work - maybe once a month or so, I have had to understand whether a particular piece of code, that seems wrong, had a good reason for existing or not.

Sometimes it turned out to be a mistake in the original commit, or working around a limitation that no longer exists, other times it has saved me from re-introducing a bug that someone had spent effort fixing.

I used to have absence seisures, until today I thought it's nothing to worry about (well, I still think there is nothing to worry about since I sometimes experience 'normal' absence seisures). From that experience I can say, in my case, this has nothing to do with spacing out when processing some problem. When I have absence seisure my brain is basically doing nothing, I fly away for couple of seconds until I realise what happens and then I'm back again.
I got curious and found the author's dissertation with even more details about Shahrinaw, including more images, scenes from old Iranian films, letters, and more.

I have a lot off issues with the adaptation, but I was ready to put them aside and enjoy the show. However I felt that to much weight had been put on Vicious/Julia. AFAIR background story in the original had a slow build up. Something from the past looming in the darkness. With low budget it looked ridiculous.

It is hard. For example I'm not exactly Tarantino fan, but I recognize his stylistic approach and find it good. If someone would like to copy Tarantino they could easily arrive at a mediocre straight to DVD B movie. The difference is hard to describe. I feel it was the same with Cowboy Bebop.

In my city in Poland (one of the most destitute ones in the country), until very recently, there used to be regular coal train robberies. On segments of the track where trains were moving really slow (like 20-30 km/h), the thieves would jump on the coal wagon and open it up on the side. All the coal would spill along the side of the tracks for the next dozens of meters, and the thieves would prompty load it up on a cargo truck and go away. With recent huge coal price hikes caused by Russian aggression, I suspect this practice might come back.
It's somewhat odd that the article addresses slavery without mentioning that Mansa Musa owned many thousands of slaves and that slavery was prevalent in West and Central Africa during the Medieval, pre-Colonial period.

a few pro tips from me with two kids now 12F and 14M.

Subscribe to youtube premium. you do NOT want those adverts on your kids devices.
get them an account each (lie about what their ages are), periodically log in to your kids accounts and look at their watch history and deal with as desired. But more importantly subscribe to the channels you feel they should be seeing and unsubscribe what they should not.
You can do this quietly for years and they wont have any idea... its helpful to guide their viewing.

one issue here is youtube shorts.. its viral trash like tiktok and gods dammit I wish I could ban my daughter from it. there is just no way to block it.

Keep computers in the "family area" not in their bedrooms.

keep phones and tablets etc in the family area not in bedrooms

put a pihole in your home network, its free, and very simple to setup on a rPi or synology nas or pretty much anything.

Setup a minecraft server for kids old enough for it. host it yourself and if you can let their friends play on it.

Teach them to lie on the internet. they should not be using their real names and addresses.

teach them to use a PW manager.

Dont allow consoles.
Consoles are zombie inducing machines. They want to play games then its computers all the way because computers are multifaceted tools not just dedicated gaming machines. you never know what they will self educate themselves on a computer. on a console they only have one choice... play games.

My son has taught himself C# programing in Unity just by watching youtube videos and self exploration. its a marvel to see him accelerate his learning way past what the school can teach him at the moment.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, the "patriarchy" is female.

I switched to a 4 day work week 10 years ago, unrelated to children (we don't have them). On the 5th day I work on my personal projects. To this day I have to "explain" it, even to friends and family. Even though I make plenty in those 4 days and we have everything we need and more.

Meanwhile, the vast majority of women here work part-time even before having children. No questions asked.

The male purpose is clear, and we should stop pretending otherwise.
Whilst analoge has some area's in which is shines, the real technology that I'd love to be leaned upon more is synchronized circuits/CPU designs. Would enable all the clock frequencies and save so much power utilisation as no need to have step clock frequency logic to bodge that workaround with asynchronized circuits as we have in our CPU's today.

Alas design tooling and skillsets hold this back, way easier to do an async design as well. FPGA's has an era (to some degree they still do) in which tooling held them back and whilst that has improved, highlights how software and hardware become intwined.

Which leads back to analog designs for problems, in which many cases the hardware is the software, so the whole time to develop is not just getting the hardware out the door, it is nailing the software per say as well at the same time. Then you are looking at hardware akin to an ASIC in which it is dedicated to the task it does and nothing else.

One thing though - the term BUG originated from the analog era in which an insect(aka bug) would become logged in the mechanism and cause errors, so a bug in a cog would change timmings or jam things up being one example.
Thats just thinking. It is easy to think when you aren’t processing everything around you. I don’t think people are having coherent thoughts during an Absence Seizure. If it is happening like 50 times a day, then see a doctor but probably not worth worrying about. I would recommend you don’t look up any health related articles if you are having minor symptoms of anything or you will become a hypochondriac. I had a very bad year of constant health anxiety and it almost ruined my life.

Yeah the Shahs rule was a paradise for regular people...
I know nothing about analog computing. Is it possible to “program” an analog computer as one does with a digital computer? For example, can a compiler be made so that an recognizable programming language can be used to control an analog computer? Or is the “programming” done at the hardware configuration level?
I've also seen this mentioned on Reddit and unfortunately it seems to be accurate (the site you link to looks a bit sketchy though).

The couple of songs that are more copies/ripoffs than just "influenced by" do irk me, but from what I saw last time I looked into this none of my favourites were straight ripoffs.
It probably will after a very serious solar flare ;p
> Git commit messages and changelogs do not have the same target audience. [...] Some people dislike merge commits. [...] If that bothers you, you can always ask contributors to rebase before merging.

I think that squashing and merging, much like commit messages and changelogs, also have different target audiences.

If there are contributors to the project who aren't proficient with git, asking them to rebase would be a huge obstacle for them and create a much worse mess. Squashing simplifies their workflow and allows any mistakes (e.g. checking in the database, accidental merges from the wrong branch, etc.) to be cleaned up and kept out of the permanent history.
The regulation was long overdue.
A red light district is for sex work. Sex trafficking and sex work can be distinguished (i.e. one can have sex work without sex trafficking).
