I love apps like this, but every time I see one I lament that Zoom doesn’t provide audio streams in distinct channels. Every “conversational intelligence” Zoom app seems to be forced to use speaker segmentation to identify who’s talking. I wish they had the voice version of “Jane is typing…” like text chat applications.

Edit: I recognize those apps are different from yours, which is local-only, and just monitors whether YOU are speaking without plotting others’ speaking time.
Its an american city thing really. The same thing would happen when I live in big cities on the west coast and in smaller cities in the midwest too. In the midwest was where my friend got a window smashed for their micro usb cable that couldn't have been more than $2.
Hmmm...

Is that really so?

Sounds like pizzas where you can put things on it for additional price. Or when you buy house or car and pay extra for each little thing.

I agree that in modern games its way more intusive then it needs to be.
You can increase density.
>> You try prototyping an experimental cutting-edge technology in the middle of a corn field 2 hours from the nearest Home Depot or metal fabricator.

To be honest, to me it sounds like a dream job.
They are both new. So, this may be a one time thing due to tooling changes or whatever. Too early to jump to conclusions.
In case you don't intend distrohopping you use this for being "an open-source enterprise operating system designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux®."

So its actually for people trying to replace CentOS which RedHat decided to drop :)
> Sometimes it’s mashing two previously unrelated ‘words’ together (aka the tons of compound characters in Chinese), other times it’s coming up with something completely new.

That's not how it works. Most Chinese characters stem from a character C having a pronunciation A referring to a meaning M being used to note another word of meaning M' with same pronunciation A (sometimes slightly different A'). This of course doesn't scale really well, hence the existence of determiners in logographic scripts, which are words used without their pronunciations placed before or after another to give a semantic clue. The innovation of Chinese (which I think is why it's still an efficient script today) was to incorporate the determiner in the character itself to give birth to a character C' where a part refer to the pronunciation and another acts as the determiner, instead of padding the main text with (a lot of) determiners.
It's a server distro (unlike Mint) in the Red Hat family (unlike Ubuntu). As a server-oriented distribution it has options for installing with a bare minimum of packages, including no GUI, and typically has longer support cycles. As a Red Hat derivative, it generally features more recent versions of core Linux userland things like systemd, since Red Hat employs a lot of the developers of those features. In comparison to Ubuntu it also has far less snap packages, which some people like because snaps have various problems in their current implementation.

The target audience is people who used to use Centos, before Red Hat ended Centos 8 years early and moved it to a rolling release schedule. Its primary competitors in the server-focused Red Hat derivatives are Red Hat Enterprise Linux itself, which is paid; Centos Stream, which is rolling release; or Alma Linux, which is, currently, basically the same distro due to how recent the Centos debacle was, but could diverge in the future.
Jo Jorgensen, who ended up being the Libertarian presidential candidate in 2020, was accused of being given more time and more opportunities to speak by another candidate during the libertarian party debates.

It was hilarious when he was told by the moderator that no, Jo had used the least time. She’d make a good point, then stop talking. No bloviating like the men.
East Harlem is a relatively small neighborhood, the Bronx is an entire borough. There are parts of the Bronx that are both significantly more and less dangerous than East Harlem (Mott Haven and Riverdale come to mind, respectively).
I’m pretty sure all the Apple devices listed support Bootcamp. So it wouldn’t be all that difficult to load another OS on it.
>It sounds more like Rust gave you that choice

Yes, but there's also a reason why the Rust -> JS route never took off.

Wasm is positioning itself as the common runtime for a lot of frontends (term borrowed from LLVM). You could see it as some sort of spiritual successor to the JVM, and it may actually accomplish the goal of "Write once, run anywhere" to a much greater extent.

(Btw, I am not criticizing Java here, I've worked with it and the JVM and other derivative languages for almost a decade and they all are quite valuable tools!)
Land value tax reduces the cost of the land needed for housing since it incentivizes density. Building taller means each person lives on less land.
In the article I linked, it says "The study found COVID-19 caused roughly 700,000 deaths between March 2020 and October 2021. The pandemic disease trailed only heart disease and cancer, which caused roughly 2.15 million collectively in that time frame." Clicking into the cited study, it links to this table with the raw numbers for each age group... no one's trying to hide something or mislead you.

I use this! Intermittently, mostly when I'm moving to a new location, or for family events. But it's great otherwise. Even just using it as a "news feed", scrolling through a list of people you care about and reminiscing about the times you had is a wonderful way to pass time.
The analogy is people who blame other's reactions to them on the people themselves instead seriously contending with the claim and at least looking inward.

Anyway, that was a bit off my point which I admit. The main point I am making is "irreverent" is more descriptive than "politically incorrect." Politically incorrect would be something not culturally sensitive or offensive to people with certain politics. He didn't make that sort of gesture, he just was crude about his own customers which is mean sure but also pretty unwise just from a PR perspective.

Why do you need to start with while (0); ?
True, but I will always refuse to work with it, there's no amount of money you can pay me in to work with Java.

I get that it became the labour programming language, but I would expect people on HN to be in it for the love of computer science. I really don't think there's pleasure in writing Java.
I've been using a Copilot for a while. It's neat, saves me some typing sometimes, but it's not even remotely close to doing even a small portion of my work for me.

That's the problem... Advertisers seeking easily "malleable" actors to shill their products... People who they can also underpay and over-contract. Social media is a gold mine for exploiting people who need opportunity... Especially young people.

They're unionizing Starbucks, but it might be wiser/better to unionize social media creators before it's too late.
curious what you think the "right policies" are; the vast majority of high crime areas are republican controlled, so it can't be that.

That's really unlikely, given it's all just digital and electricity. Ignoring that our pseudo-global society will have collapsed long before that and ignoring that the digital era unlikely lasts that long ...

... assuming humanity actually keeps going as it is ...

... there is no way people in 300 years will be able to read any device from today. Hell, the CD-ROM is dying and that's young.

That's a pretty broad assessment.

It's not without its flaws, but Singapore has an extremely effective public housing program run by the government's Housing & Development Board (HDB) where 89.9% of Singaporeans are homeowners.

The "just build more" supply argument doesn't hold water when you have an unlimited source of demand from institutional investors and speculators that use housing as a place to park their money.
> If we can't make the cars just as smart as an alert and capable driver, then maybe we need to meet halfway and make the roads a littler "dumber" (simpler) to accommodate the robots.

This aspect of FSD has always fascinated me and I'm a little surprised it doesn't get more discussion. Meeting halfway. At what point could/would/should FSD influence the environment around it?

For example - a poorly painted road sign*. Tesla/Waymo could say "We cannot support L5 FSD on this road until you fix this sign." If it meant a step forward in autonomy, Tesla/Waymo could even offer to share the cost of that improvement!

There are a million reasons why implementation of that would be problematic. Costs and incentives would be all over the place. But I am more interested in the framing: The machines are the ones that need to adapt. Which is essentially hoping for continued hardware improvements or a spaghetti mess of if/else statements. ie "do this weird thing if you see this other weird thing in front of you". Can we get rid of the weird thing and avoid the engineering challenge altogether?

* Yes, this is an overly simple example. Some environment changes could be so large that they would require a full redesign of a city/buildings/traffic patterns. But surely there are classes of improvements where some are easier than others.
This used to be a hot topic a few years ago. When will it be actually ready?
I meant 20 bucks and the only HSISP in my area is Xfinity and it's over $120 a month.

But regardless, for my kids, it's not about the money. It's about responsibility and opening their eyes to the reality that every where they go they will be paying for things, and they only come to them when they work for them. And the day the come to me and tell me they are going to move out. I'd take em to the bank and give them all the money back.
I don't think that not having a physical key on the keyboard has ever stopped anybody from inputing unicode symbols.
Ah. I see. I'll stop parroting that line now that I understand the impact better. I still think it is shitty of rich people to do that, however.
If you're asking an expert in the area of what the topic is about, or stakeholders, or those that maybe have that topic in their circle of competence, then why would it be considered bullying? You'd expect them to have an opinion or some sort of feedback.

If you're asking someone who has literally nothing to do with that area of your work then, that's just kind of a weird situation. The key is tying the question to the area that is impacted by the person you're asking. It could be an open ended question and not even super specific.
Will there be a DOM api for wasm?
I think WASM is ready for production use. Emscripten does produce big blobs of JavaScript. If it bothers you it's possible to do WASM without Emscripten. If your embedded code doesn't use a lot of libc then it might actually work for you. https://surma.dev/things/c-to-webassembly/

The big gotcha used to be debugging but Chrome dev tools actually has DWARF support now. Of course as an embedded developer you're probably already used to poor debugging support.
Nevertheless it is not about "a ban on all Google products".

The real problem is that US data protection is non-existant.

Exactly. The bike lane network plan in LA county has been on the books for 10 years now and its still a patchwork mess in the second largest city in this country where you could realistically bike to work every day of the year. There is no hope elsewhere for change. If you don't already have it you won't ever have it or you will be beating sand until you die fighting for a mile of bike lane or a single train line that waits at red lights.

I use Firefox with containers on my laptop for my day-to-day, and occasionally use Chrome for dev, testing, or if I just can't load a page right.
That could mean that the clone3 system call fails with EPERM instead of ENOSYS. Suppressing system call implementations with ENOSYS is generally safer because it just looks like an older kernel, while EPERM is an regular error code for some system calls.

Put differently, ENOSYS tells userspace that the system call isn't implemented and you need use some fallback code. EPERM means that the operation was denied by policy. But in that case, it might not be a good idea to approximate it by using different system calls because it might circumvent the intended security policy.
Ask HN: Should I accept this project management role?
For the last two years I have been a DevOps and AWS cloud architect at a FinTech startup in Europe.

I have just been offered to take on a project which would consist on transferring ~300M EUR worth of customers from a partner to our company as a Project Manager.

Previously to being a DevOps, I was a Cybersecurity consultant for a Big4 company for two years.

As I am still 27 years old and I have always having dreamt of joining a FAANG company and/or starting my very own startup, I am unsure whether this opportunity (which looks like being a project coordinator) would be positive to my CV in the tech world especially in non-european countries such as the USA. Although I have the feeling that I'd love the job, I am afraid this would be the "beginning of the end" for a short tech career.

How did you guys face this kind of situation? What would you do?

Thanks for your feedback
I do too some days. I keep meaning to do a deep dive into MonoGame to see where it is today and where it may be going.

And I bet the upper management liquidated a bunch of stock between that commitment and quarterly results. My last company was acquired by a company that did a similar pump and dump but used the pump to buy my company followed quickly by all our "new" upper management cashing out. My 14K in stock was worth <300 when I left the company. I still don't understand how no one sued or jailed for that fiasco.
It's funny that I have seen several anti A/C articles and several pro Heat Pump articles in recent times, do you think they know these are the same things in reverse? At least A/C is often used in sunny locales were solar can be used effectively.
6-12 people isn't a meeting, it's a presentation. At that size not everyone can contribute and most people probably don't need to be there. Meetings of that size are generally either "update the boss" meetings where everyone goes one by one and says what they have been doing. These are a terrible waste of everybody's time, EXCEPT for the boss and so can sometimes be justified. Or they are presentations from one person to the group. If you find there is no interaction or feedback from the rest of the people in your presentation, it is probably either a bad presentation or you are presenting to people who don't want or need to be there.

The Paris example is somewhat skewed, though, because Paris proper is comparatively tiny – just 105 km² and 2.1 million inhabitants. Compared to London it's basically just Zone 1 and a few bits (definitively less than half) of Zone 2.

Having said that, yes, it could still well be (too lazy to figure it out properly) that inside this city core the Paris Metro is still more dense than the Underground in London – but on the other hand beyond that, where the vast majority of inhabitants of the whole urban agglomeration of Paris live, you have similar problems regarding radial travel as elsewhere:

Godot's default language is GDscript, which is similar to Python. I'd highly recommend that to new people switching to Godot. I think C# is just cruft for people coming from Unity and stuck in old habits/frameworks.
Automating the easy parts does give you more time to work on hard things, though.
I had a Smart thermostat for a while, but removed it because it was costing me extra energy.

My boiler is more efficient if it runs at low. But with the thermostat allowing the house too cool off, the boiler had to run at high to warm up the house in time. (I don't remember the exact number it's something like 98% vs 80% efficient.)

This ended up using more energy, than leaving it to run at the lowest possible output temperature the entire day.

When I googled this I found that Energy Star does not consider smart thermostats to be energy saving.

I suspect the same will be true of A/C - letting the heat pump run at very low all day will save more energy than high speed to quickly cool the house.
No it's not comparable to that. Adding things to the pizza/car is a decision you make prior to using/consuming the good. I have no problem with games doing the equivalent. E.g. you purchase any DLC or costumes or cosmetics or whatever BEFORE starting the game. The evil part is making monetization part of the game. I would also find it evil for a car to suggest "Buy the vacation increased range package for 49.99$ and have 50 extra kilometers of range for the next 2 weeks", while you car battery is at 10%.
I always thought that combdb2 looked really awesome from a design / features perspective. I wonder why it didn't get as much attention as the other databases out there.

My personal perspective growing up in Sweden is basically that there are thousands of trees per capita and the tragedy is that forests are slowly taking over old farmland. In the northern half of the country you can’t grow wheat due to the short season. It’s wildly different from the more densely populated parts of Europe, but in Russia and Canada there are probably tons of similar areas with spruce and pine forests the size of small countries have always grown, and where the climate is perfect for forests and bad for food crops.
I don’t think there is ever a demand for forest byproducts where it would be profitable to grow trees where corn or wheat could be grown instead.

This might have been true 25 years ago, but all of South and East Harlem has been experiencing steady gentrification for the last decade. Most of that is coming from young families, from my experience living in South Harlem.

(There are lots of attractions to the neighborhood: old buildings, pretty side streets, good food, convenient access to museums, and one of the most reliable subway lines in the system.)
You have literally described how Tesla(and the other Musk companies) have made both an excellent and terrible product at the same time. A big chunk of the Musk skeptic community consist of experienced professionals from all the industries that Elon is involved in. They are constantly bashing his companies for not paying attention to what has already been accomplished. Musk has had many failures due to ignoring the previously made mistakes that people before him have already made.

For example: Fit and finish, organizing your production process so you are not forced to build $50k cars in a tent in the parking lot, following proven practices for service etc.

At the same time, teardowns of the cars are showing a lot of out of the box thinking that other incumbent automakers are not following. Things such as eliminating redundant systems with newer designs that can do multiple tasks, making parts modular enough such that you don't have to wait for a new model year to implement, the megacastings etc.

In the end, Tesla has only survived because they had enough capital to make these new ideas stick and now others are starting to have to copy his company's accomplishments. So maybe as long as you have enough capital, then it may be worth to "relearn" everything that everyone else has learned because it may lead to asking "why" on some of the old ways of doing things.
Thanks for asking for those clarifications,

I don't expect any of the UI work will ever be done in WASM (because it doesn't need to be shared with the embedded side of things). It is more porting standalone libraries that would be useful for both like file parsing and networking libraries. (In particular, the library I ported was a file parser).
Also FNA (https://fna-xna.github.io), which is aimed at 100% compatibility with existing XNA 4.0 code.

I have experience on Upwork both hiring and being hired. From hiring perspective, the person I interviewed was not the person who actually did the work. Being hired via Upwork, it was a challenge to even land an interview; I'd bid things and be in a pool among 10+ other people internationally with lower rates. I've worked in software in the US for over 10 years. The other aspect is that often those hiring on Upwork don't know what to look for, or have unrealistic expectations. I did find a few mutually successful gigs, but didn't make as much as I could have in industry. I decided that working for a normal company was more advantageous.
well, if your an investor during the growth phase of the last 10-15 years, you must think yourself like you got mad skills.
Not American, live in London. Not to get into a pissing contest, but I can go to Ridley Rd for a wet market and still have any amount of cultural stuff to do. SG does have the food, but it’s a company town entirely driven around (conspicuous…) consumption. Less shit Dubai.

All that said, I like spending a few days there - again, the food! - but I’d rather be in Bangkok or KL for longer, e.g.

As a thought experiment, if we want to use voluntary inaction to prevent bad ends, we have to go the distance. Standing alone won’t work , because companies can raise their rates until someone takes up the offer or they can lower their standards and pick up a dev without good prospects.

In order for this scheme to work, unions are needed. A professional union which like doctors associations would enforce ethical standards on its members and use collective bargaining to freeze malefactors out of the industry.

It wouldn’t be as good as how doctors have it, with legal weight and governmental recognition, but it would be enough.
Higher reward because the SPAC pays a lower price than the IPO price? That seems to be against the interests of the company and the current investors, who want to get as much as possible from public investors, so I'm skeptical.

Or higher reward because the eventual price would be higher after an SPAC acquisition? I don't see why that would be true a priori, so what's the evidence?
