I very much appreciate that your design incorporates the ability to use them wired as well.

While I’m out/in transit, of course there’s nothing particularly terrible about Bluetooth.

When I’m at home, however - I produce music a lot more than I consume it.

I also mainly consume music at home on my record players anyway, which obviously I don’t use Bluetooth for.

As any audio producer will tell you; the latency introduced be even the newest Bluetooth standards makes producing music in a DAW a frustrating experience at best.

I love the ‘best of both worlds’ headphones with optional latency-free wired support. I can take them on the go and use Bluetooth on the bus, I can connect a wire at home; and produce in bliss.

I would absolutely love to create my own headphones from the ground up sometime, choosing my drivers and cushioning carefully, and ideally modelling/3D printing my custom design, based on taking measurements of the shape of my head and size of my ears. (I prefer over the head headphones as even the most comfortable buds tend to hurt my ears after a short while.)

Sounds like a fun summer project sometime. :)
> "He was the victim of Nissan executives who didn't like having a gaijin be their boss:" Prove it.

Oh, sure. Like underhanded whisper campaigns and unspoken agreements are susceptible to "proof."
The US has a lower prosecution rate because they “shoot first and ask questions later.” That is, prosecutors are more aggressive in just trying to blame someone… anyone… whether guilty or not by using plea deals. Of course conviction rate suffers because there is such a high percentage of false accusations that refuse plea bargains.

So you completely missed the case that Japan’s conviction rate is high because they may only prosecute people when there is actual evidence.

Hey, thanks so much! This is really good info. Any thoughts on Daly City?

Also which area would you say is a good balance between the crime and things to do? All I've got is a pet, couple laptops and monitors.
Using a WASI runtime in Go you can run any code compiled to WASM. That also means you can wrap a C (or other) library compiled to WASM into a Go library.
> If the pain falls on others, will they still learn?

I think that depends on the seniority of the individual/team. In my experience, of course one can still learn.

To give you a real example: years ago one of our systems went down on a Sunday morning and our team had no oncall people. The infrastructure team was the one who fixed the issue (don't remember the exact underlaying issue, but it did make clear one aspect of our service we didn't properly: signal handling). Next morning the team wrote down a Jira issue to improve the way we handle signals. Ticket got prioritized very high and was fixed the very same day.

Now, what would have happened if the issue that Sunday morning was due to a bug in the software our team wrote? The same thing. The difference is that infra team would have no clue on how to fix the thing and would have to revert the service to a previous stable version. Would the business be fine with it? In our case, yeah. As a matter of fact, they didn't want to spend the extra money hiring ops people for each team to be on call. You see, if the business really cared, they would immediately have hired a software engineer willing to be on call... They just didn't care that much (and they couldn't force the current team to be oncall because our contracts didn't specify so and the average age in our team was around 35, and nobody wanted to be on call).
"Identity theft" as a term has always struck me as a terrible description of what is happening. A bank falsely reporting to a credit agency that I am a debtor (when a criminal hands over some exclusively public information about me to get credit) seems like a slam-dunk definition of defamation. It meets the 4-part definition I'm aware of with (1) statement of fact (2) made to a 3rd party that (3) harms the reputation of the plaintiff while (4) acting negligently. (4) is of course the hardest to prove, but surely if all the information a bank asks to verify identity is in the public domain, that seems pretty clear to me.
getenv() is just a sample. But even with it... it puts some limitation on potential API implementation and overall system performance. E.g. const char* user_password() cannot store the data anywhere, right? All that...

> The most comfortable way to do a C API is to make the caller allocate space for return values

That's even worse. How will caller know size of the buffer upfront?

With the callback approach that is trivial - you get the size on call - no need to call the API function twice - for size of the buffer and then for real copy.

Good old tower pcs, two of them under my desk. An old i7 with 32 gib ram running linux that is my primary workstation. An i9 with 64 gib ram running windows, that is dedicated to playing games.

> Russia has now become a fascist state, bent on neo-colonial conquest of everything post-Soviet and post-Russian Empire. Russian population, in substantial numbers, supports this fascism and this neo-colonialism.

I thought 1) Most Russians were against the war (“special operation”), and 2) that Russia is losing this war badly and with the new rocket equipment supplied to Ukraine that they’ll be pushed back, etc.

So which is it?
It's not about the particular intepreter or specific precedence design, it's about the tendecies described: what kind of stuff he often appears to like and/or produce.

So you've two competing losses: transformers and voltage drops over long DC circuits.

When I was last looking into this myself -- and lamenting you couldn't find PoE LED lights for love or money -- it sounded like (IANAEE) voltage drops start becoming a thing you have to care about around 50 or 100 feet, depending on the gauge; wiring a house with DC isn't impossible but it might require a little bit of care or some thought.
I have used the technique described by M. Feathers as "Characterization tests", in his book "Working Effectively with Legacy Code", with good success.
The issue with this season is that while the comics are beloved, the first book is quite weak; Gaiman was still finding his voice, still experimenting with what the books were going to be, and constrained by editorial requirements from DC. The first several issues are full of cringey tie-ins to other DC IP, and the horror elements are forced (The Sandman is not a horror comic series).

If you're not a Sandman stan, my advice is to watch episode 1, and then episode 5, skipping 2-4. The first actually-good episode is 6; the Hob Gadling stuff is sort of emblematic of the the comic grows into, so if you like it, you'll like the rest of it.

If you are a Sandman stan, something to note is that they seem to have deliberately severed it from the DC Universe. I'm surprised at how many elements of the first and second book turn out to be been DC tie-ins; for instance, Hector and Lyta Hall in Dolls House were I guess defined by other DC comics? Anyways, they've gone out of their way to cut all that stuff out the series.

I think most of the changes are for the better.

I think the series is fine.

I was way, way into Sandman when I was younger.

This show isn't in my Top N list. I'm curious to see if it gets renewed.

By comparison, the HBO Watchmen series is not only one of the best comic book adaptations of all time, but also one of my favorite TV series of the last 10 years.

I'm not necessarily saying they're wrong, only that they're not a reliable source for that information.

Perhaps not burger and nuggets, since those are heavily processed and seasoned anyway, but try to give them a plant based steak or ribs and I doubt anyone would fail to tell the difference.

This is more complicated. USA after WW2 wanted to dismantle colonial powers and reduce military of European countries. USA become hegemony and as such It needed to take responsibility. Today the world is becoming multipolar and US already tried to reduce involvement in Europe security by both Trump and Biden. Unfortunately German become old and greedy, France care more about African post colonies than Eastern Europe and UK decided that is not part of Europe.

Ischemia results in significant pathology to all organ systems. A few examples: ischemic infarction of brain tissue is what causes stroke.

> As far as I know the protection against "taking a jet and crashing it into a building" is a squadron of fighter jets that are quickly dispatched to (if necessary) shoot down any plane on a risky path.

It's 16 miles from JFK airport to Manhattan. A jet plane can fly this distance in less than 5 minutes at sea level, within a normal flight envelope.

There's latency recognizing from the ground that an airliner needs to be intercepted, launching alert fighters, and getting authorization to shoot down.

Trust is involved in allowing a big container to be loaded on a plane.

Japanese ferment their soybeans when eaten as food - this fermentation chemically changes it.

However, I was referring to the soybean oil.

Soybean oil is not used in cooking inside the Japanese home, but used for fast food/restaurant cooking.

https://www.world-grain.com/articles/16740-soybean-oil-deman...

Next time you get virtually any salad dressing or even a non-sriracha hot sauce such as that served in little packets from e.g. Wendy's or McDonald's, you will find soybean oil as one of the ingredients.

Soybean oil is nearly impossible to avoid if you are eating out; and it is found in a lot of other foods such as salad dressing, etc. I would encourage you on your next trip to supermarket to make note of how many processed foods contain soybean oil. Only good quality olive oil is free from PUFAs among the various vegetable oils.

I don't get the positive reactions. This sounds like: let's do to scientific publishing what social media have done to society. And that's make it worse. For fistful of dollars.

- Academics advance based on your publication score. They will avoid your platform if it doesn't help them get grants or tenure. If they've got it, they will avoid it even more.

- Only a few people will put time in reviewing and handing out points, where unfortunately reviewing means: three seconds of scanning and gut feeling. You won't be able to keep even the most blatantly fraudulent papers out.

- There will be a few good articles that score well, and you'll defend your platform by pointing that out, but below that there will be a mass of highly rated papers that don't deserve it. They'll be there because a group with an agenda put them there, or because groups actively keep papers of "competitors" down.

- As said by others: the "average citizen" isn't part of this. Never has been, and doesn't need to. Open Access is for fellow scientists and very specialized citizens.

- "With over 10,000 academic journals, it’s impossible for the lay public to track which journals are reputable and which are not." That's not true. Most researchers only look in a small number of journals and can distinguish wheat from chaff. But you won't have 10k journals: you're aiming at millions of reviewers.

- Why use voting by god-knows-whom if you can use the same "trust" mechanism that's used today: citations? Because you'll only become a record keeper. There won't be a need to fund your system.

Be mad at McDonald’s. Be mad at Family Dollar. Be mad at bullies. And be made about fat pride too, that we as people have created the conditions that have been so toxic to some people that almost by necessity they inoculate themselves from horrible attitudes that have never helped them in the slightest.

I'm less worried about the investors than the management. I'm fairly certain that due to the hands off nature of most American's investment choices, there's likely a bit of Experian in every portfolio out there. The main concern is to clearly, unambiguously demonstrate that the operation of a business that creates a data liability for the public, and failing to secure the data or ensure it's accuracy, will not be tolerated.

Any management should be barred from management roles in similar ventures/verticals. The company assets should be liquidated, except for the data. That should be wiped. Their charter and documents of incorporation should be revoked.

Whether investors end up getting paid back out of liquidation is moot. I'm fairly sure the alleged value of the company was entirely tied up in it's data, which if wiped, just leaves their in house software/operational structure, which as previoudly established, should be considered toxic in and of itself due to not being fit for operating in a manner concommitant with the task at hand.

I feel for the employees, but there is a point where even you as an employee should be calling out management for not doing their job, and telling you to do yours poorly.

My patience with corporate actors has grown increasingly short at an astonishing rate.

I think you're missing the point of the analogy; it's not about assigning culpability for health problems, it's about illustrating the kind of comment that centers proximate causes when the surrounding discussion is about root causes.
Let's reverse that to cyclists getting 2 years for killing pedestrians in the UK.

I'm fed up of putting people who don't follow rules or wear helmets on a pedastle.

And yes, I know 2 people who's lives were saved by a helmet in a collision. But that doesn't change that these are in the minority and actually are safe cyclists.

Frankly why the stigma of public transport which I exclusively use exists astounds me but people probably "ass-ume" I drive a car daily.

Hate to break it to you, but starting your own contracting/consulting company means you are forever on-call. It just so happens that it's not called that explicitly, and the people you have to answer to are your customers (aka your bosses).

I'm having issues finding more literature pointing to the fact that more exposure to the sun would diminish the odds of getting skin cancer.

Interestingly enough I learned that darker skin tones, while still being susceptible to, are less likely to develop skin cancer [0]. The population in southern Patagonia is large made of Hispanic descent, in Southern Chile a large portion of the people are light skinned, in stark contrast with the aboriginal population that was massacred on both sides of Patagonia [1][2]. I guess you get what you bargained for.

Code is more of a pop-sci book. It's in-depth, but suitable for a motivated layperson. It covers a bit of information theoretic content on code (encoding) and the physical layer of digital logic, in particular. CS:APP is a programming textbook complete with programming exercises. They aren't directly comparable.

Ask HN: Career advice for a 17 year old Russian computer prodigy
I have a 17 year old Russian friend.
He seems to be some kind of prodigy when it comes to computers. He has been messing with computers and software for a long time. He is always mentioning some random project he is building in a new language, or some weird aspect of computing he is exploring. Hes made his own games, his own game engines, done stuff in assembly, C, C++, C#, python, javascript, etc. etc. all off his own bat.
Also he is very creative and makes art and music and weird 3d animations.

He's in what he calls college now, which is a sort of halfway between school and university, coming from his current college he can do a uni course in systems administration, afaik this is his only choice and the most computery uni course he can do.

My advice for him is basically...
1. Do some kind of computery uni course
2. Get a computery job in an EU country and go live there.

* What would your advice be?

* Can you go into any more detail than I have done?

* Are any of you Russian emigrants working in computing? What was your story?

Thanks!

The -option I'd say yes. Although this is vintage UNIX style behavior, in 2009, when Golang emerged, it should have picked GNU-style. No reason except idiosyncrasy or nostalgia to go with single dash.
