That looks seriously impressive. I've tested it with only two (stereo) tracks and one plugin. First impressions.

* Smooth and fast.

* 160MB disk space, and 100MB RAM on startup isn't lightweight in my book, though.

* The plugin selection window is unwieldy. I tested it on an (audio-wise) clean macOS system, and the list of Apple plugins was already almost impossible to navigate. On my personal laptop, I've got hundreds of plugins more. A search/filter function would be most welcome.

* I wouldn't call it an audio editor, as I don't seem to be able to edit the actual wave. Or are you still planning to add that? I don't have a good alternative description handy, though. DAW, perhaps?

* Vertical zoom would be nice too.

* There seems to be always one tracked armed. That's going to cause accidental overwrites, which won't be noticed until it's too late. I see it's easy to remove recordings, but people in a hurry won't notice until after bouncing.

* Joining/grouping clips is needed.

Excellent work.
The photo on his Twitter account has one of the websites listed in his HN profile (Crossies) in the background, so I'm assuming that's him.
I once built a system for a government client. They were terrified of it crashing under heavy load, so the contract required that the site handle a load of 400,000 simultaneous requests, and also that we demonstrate (through a 3rd party load testing company) that it could handle the load.

Building it to handle the load was actually really easy (the architecture naturally handled many simultaneous requests easily), but testing it was very expensive, because it also involved making external requests we had to pay for.

When the site finally launched, it did indeed get "a lot" of traffic. At its absolute peak, it hit around 20 requests per second.

Sigh.

Wanted to say the same! Standard handler signature is quite helpful.
Russia is implicit in this list, but we need more data. Could be a boycott to keep the current government occupied and not focused on Ucranie or to promote their demise, but could have a simpler explanation also. By now the main categories are industrial dumping or foreign boycott. I don't believe in the climate change/bad luck theory.

The presence of salts is particularly interesting in its three possible ways to end there. Either:

1) Salt was dumped directly in the river by criminals or ...

2) Salt was a by-product of the toxic interacting with the river (Who has access to a lot o mercury salts? We have chemistry experts in HN, maybe some of them could enlight us about some possible chemical paths that release mercury and salt?) or ...

3) Salt (Iodine??) was a second dump aiming to fix the disaster and neutralize the poison after the fishes were killed. Maybe by the government, maybe by the perpetrators.

Many fishes can stand salt for hours or days using their liver to detox, time enough to quit the area. We used salt and freshwater baths routinely to treat our ill freshwater and marine fishes. If is progressive they survive. Carps can stand low quality waters.

The parasites could provide an answer. I would suggest to take a look to them.
That there exist additional attack vectors is not an argument to ignore one which is simple and requires no user interaction to pull off.

Yes, I'm sure that for HN bandwidth is one of the most important factors. For myself it's almost an afterthought. And bandwidth is a critical fulcrum for cloud pricing comparisons.

A hijacked session is bad, but nowadays not nearly as bad as a leaked password:

- Sessions can be linked to a user's location and/or browser finger print

- Sessions are short(er) lived

- Sessions can easily get invalidated (e.g. device wide logout)

- Almost all critical actions are behind additional security (e.g. can't change password without 2FA or change billing information without confirming password and/or 2FA in order to apply changes, etc.)

- Sessions are not shared across properties, whereas many users share their password across multiple internet sites/properties

Yes, running you own git is fine.

A suggestion is to install Gitolite[1] and let that manage the repositories for you.

for the life of me, I can't figure why people care about multimillionaires playing games with other multimillionaires, in teams owned by billionairs.

How to people get excited by that? Why does anyone care, let alone get emotional if some millionaire playing a game paid by a billionaire, should come or go?

Weird.

This doesn’t look all that impressive to me.

One of the greatest things about the standard library HTTP handlers is that you have an io.Writer that you can do whatever you want with.

It looks like this library removes the flexibility of that and instead provides a worse API to the user.

I feel like they could still have a good module here if the performance gains are independent of the actual handler API.

I don’t want “frameworks”, I want composable modules that I can mix and match. Things should be small and simple.
> AI isn't locked in a room.

Humans aren't in a locked room either. Unless you put them there. Same for AI.

To say the same thing with less snark: in the future there might be a market for AIs trained on 'clean room' data.
The "north up" tip I heard from Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, it makes a lot of sense, if you're going south and the road ahead is closed, and you go for a detour, you know you need to be going south, but if the map keeps spinning around, after several turns you'd (or I would) lose track which direction you're going and which direction the navigation system is trying to take you (in a lot of cases it would be trying to take you back to the original route, although it's closed).
We have a Vitamix at home, in use every morning. After nearly 7 years, the blade block started to leak. They sent a new one. It was very interesting to see how they improved the design of the block in between.

As I said somewhere else, first buy cheap, if it fails you know better what you really need and can buy the right expensive stuff. If it does not fail, enjoy your luck.
I grew up in a college town and I can highly recommend. I grew up with kids of professors and because of that (and, of course, my own parents) had a great academic environment. Schools in college towns often punch above their weight.

Another benefit is access to cultural benefits that wouldn’t normally be available, like great libraries and concerts and orchestras (often free). Check out Pullman, WA as another example.
Or running your business at WeWork locations.

Enterprise public cloud like AWS really doesn't make financial sense for most large enterprises or small organisations. If you have enough scale there's no need to pay the premium. If you don't need the flexibility you don't need to pay the premium. Only those in are stuck in the middle or have use cases that need extreme 'elasticitiy' or 'agility' really benefit from using this model.
> It's a bit of a shame the author didn't dig more into it, I am pretty sure MoltenVk gives you a reasonably up-to-date Vulkan on Mac, and I've seen progress lately on zink-over-MoltenVk, which should enable OpenGL 4.6 on macos.

Whilst true I don't think there's any way to use that to get better graphics support in a Linux VM - for that you're going to be at the mercy of either VMWare or Parallels. QEMU doesn't do 3D acceleration on macOS hosts AFAIK.
This type of security is bad. Either something should be possible, and easy for anyone to do... Or it should not be possible, and protected by real cryptography.

That the translators "never saw a dime" isn't accurate. A large corpus of parallel texts is supplied by the EU, which pays its translators and then publishes the documents for free.

So you think this isn't the case with home users? Maybe I still misunderstand the point that is being made here, but from my perspective it's only a matter of time until my encrypted password store gets exposed to the local attacker (as soon as I unlock it).

I used to be of the same opinion but after writing a lot of Go web services I don’t agree anymore. Go’s HTTP interface is a bit weird and while I am sure there is a reason for all the strange choices, for average non-performance critical code I just want interfaces that are easy to use. For example: only being able to ready to body once, not being able to get the status code that was set, …

Deviating from the standard allows you to tackle these ‘problems’. In the end I think there is room for multiple frameworks/libs for different styles and purposes.
Here in Budapest (Hungary) it varies what each company requires, but the general behavior was (before COVID) that developers show up at the meetings and do whatever between. 1-2 hour lunch breaks were common. Folks who smoke spent also at least a hour per day AFK. After lunch getting a coffee easily used to take at least half an hour, etc.

For example at EPAM (big outsourcing company, badge tracked time spent in the building) and at LogMeIn as long as the sprints were "green" everything was fine.
I believe they are referring to the tsunami that follows the earthquake, based on evidence from before the Europeans colonized the continent.

I'm aware of the chances of hurricane. However, I came from the Santa Cruz mountains, where I could have woken up minutes before my death due to wind driven fires, which PG&E loves to start. https://www.businessinsider.com/pge-caused-california-wildfi...

A house is just a bunch of stuff, and I have insurance up to the gills. I won't be in the house when the hurricane hits (hurricanes give you hours or days of warning, a wind driven fire might not give you any, an earthquake doesn't give you any), and I sleep a lot better knowing my kids won't burn in their beds.
I think a lot of users would be fine with apps being fully silo'ed from eachother with the exception of being able to copy and paste between them, and have 'File Open' dialog boxes able to access files from anywhere.

Every other kind of interaction between seperate applications can be blocked without breaking much functionality. And you can limit breakage further by running all 'legacy' applications in the same silo, and only running new applications disconnected from eachother.
> And models often aren't sold long enough

This is so annoying. There are pointless model churn for everything. You can't keep up and get a understanding of what is quality or not becouse when a device has been on the market for a while and you can know if it last it is out of production.

Very, very few people understand what a CPU truly does. We all have differing understandings, yours probably about like mine, if not better.

Once you feel you understand perfectly how it works, Keller comes along and says that you can run the same program 100 times, and it'll never execute the same way twice.

Anymore, I just treat it like a black box I'm glad to not have to bargain with.
The “examples” appear to be the complete output, i.e., are actually full copies of all the essays. That's probably not a great idea given that there's no explicit license on the source material, that he's said elsewhere he'd prefer people link rather than rehost, and has a book of many of the essays who's publisher may or may not have purchased the distribution rights.
A typesystem is also much better than me at figuring out what could go wrong with some code. I used to be better at spotting mistakes and writing dynamic code, but ever since I started relying on typesystems I think I got a little worse at it. At least I definitely don't have as much patience dealing with dynamic code anymore.

Maybe typesystems negatively impacted my ability to reason about dynamic code? (I'm actually a bit torn on this)

I only tried WK briefly, but I found it mystifying - the whole system where reading a word gets decomposed into a multi-step process (kanji -> radicals -> names for radicals -> mnemonic linking radical names into character meaning -> character meanings -> word meaning).

I mean - if one's goal is to reach fluency, then eventually one will need to discard all those intermediate steps, right? But the app didn't feel to me like it was headed in that direction. To be honest it felt less like an app for memorizing Japanese words, and more like an app for memorizing radical names and mnemonics linking those names to character meanings (i.e. stuff that the WK authors made up). I am way off?

> for a small, minor thing like sloping the floor properly, it's a small mistake that won't really cost.

I've actually met such a guy 20+ years ago, who didn't know slopes were a thing. He is from rural areas with extreme poverty, never had a shower room in his life really, came to cities for labor work regardless. I explained the idea of slopes to him, so he gladly spent the next few hours removed the tiles and made improvements. The new tiles are cut & adjusted like really ugly, but better than no slopes. I guess it's his first slope.
I usually wait 5 years. If the tech is still there (and it's stable) and devs are using it, then I start learning it.

> The real question is how you decide where to invest your time/energy next?

Just learn whatever you think it's fun. It's not that you are going to learn 1 single tech in a whole... decade? I usually spent around 3 months with new tech. That's like 3 or 4 new techs per year, so don't worry about picking up something you like that is not that much relevant in the industry. Also, playing around with something for 3 months is enough for applying to jobs that require such tech (only if you have solid fundamentals, otherwise work on them!)

Surely this is just 'thinking', instead of acting on impulse or gut-feel.

Second-order thinking is thinking about thinking. eg, If we have a decision to make, first order thinking is analyzing the situation and making the decision. Second order thinking is deciding how to go about analyzing the situation, how to arrive at a decision, how to measure the outcome, etc.
> A lot of extraordinary things in life are the result of things that are first-order negative, second order positive.

These are the hard cases. It's easy to consider second order effects if you have your solution, you just have to do it. Solutions often come way easier if the first order effects are positive. But if they are negative you are much less likely to even entertain that solution. Even if the higher order effects positives far outweigh the first order negatives.

>My bicycle light begs to differ. It’s a standard 18650 cell with a protection PCB slapped on top, and both poles on the same end of the battery.

Huh? You seem to be contradicting yourself: you say it's a standard 18650 cell. That's not something custom, that's something you can buy from an electronics supplier quite easily. And no, having both poles on the same end isn't something custom either, that's just a variant you can buy. You should be able to find this exact part on digikey.com.

>This is exotic enough that replacements are very hard to find.

If you can buy something on digikey.com, it's not "exotic". They even ship small orders by USPS for cheap. It might be "exotic" to a typical consumer, but those people don't know how to use a soldering iron.
