An often overlooked framework used by NASA among others is Kedro https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro. Kedro is probably the simplest set of abstractions for building pipelines but it doesn't attempt to kill Airflow. It even has an Airflow plugin that allows it to be used as a DSL for building Airflow pipelines or plug into whichever production orchestration system is needed.
I would wager it's much less.

This is only a problem for certain blue checks.

The problem is thus amplified because these big dawgs are moaning about it.

Forgive me for not caring.

This is like King Charles the 3rd complaining about his dripping pen (true current news story). I'm sure it incredibly annoying to him but to the rest of people it's laughable.

I'll accept that it's a problem for followers of these big dawgs.

But maybe there's a lesson in there somewhere.......
You just compared two of the most expensive cities in the world against two entire states.
San Francisco has a limited area that is already fairly built-up. To increase the housing supply, the city can't just build anything, it has to build in a way that increases the density of housing. For example if you build four story building where every floor is just one unit, you haven't done much - and San Francisco's high housing costs and appeal to the very wealthy makes such luxury condo development very appealing to private developers. Moreover, developers see the large picture and see that if the housing shortage was actually solved they'd lose the premium they now get so this gives them a further incentive to not actually increase total density by much.
The root cause is demand > supply. But the important part is supply not demand.

Austin is liberal like SF and is known for restricting housing supply.

2.3 million people live in Houston, and only a million live in Austin yet Houston is far cheaper to live in than Austin.

Twitter is unusable unless you are using a third-party client (which they don't give full access to). I sometimes tweet into the void about issues but rarely read twitter anymore except during something like an Apple event when I want to see what a handful of people are saying.

Scrolling through my main feed (on the official web/client) is utter garbage. Sponsored-this, suggested-that, your-friend-liked, your-friend-also-follows, etc. Kill me. I want to read tweets from the specific people I follow, I don't need suggestions, I don't need the algorithm, I sure as hell don't care about followers-of-followers-type shit. The notifications I get from Twitter are also terrible, like I've given Twitter more than enough info over the last decade+ that it shouldn't be showing me certain suggested tweets (or whatever they call that block of random tweets they inject under a tweet I'm looking at).

Twitter, like most large tech companies, astounds me. I literally have no clue what their thousands of employees/"engineers" do everyday. I work at a tiny company (<15 total, 6 developers) and it feels like we make way more forward progress in a month than twitter has in the last decade. For over 6 months they completely broke their browser notifications because someone renamed their Twitter account to "tweet" and so browser notifications would open that user's account instead of the tweet it was being linked to (the URL the browser would open would be something like /tweet?id=XXXXXXXX). It's fucking ametuer hour over there and they are wasting their time on adding things like podcasts to Twitter? They doesn't deserve to succeed.
>2. However, once an account gets the blue check, the owner is free to change the profile pic and display name, and the blue check doesn't go away.

I know people want to preserve the "San Francisco-iness" of SF, but the irony of refusing to upzone is that it makes the entire city feel more inhumane and artificial.

We don't do a good enough job on messaging that upzoning will actually do more to preserve your neighborhood than outright bans. If you actually upzone urban core areas, there will be less traffic and pressure on outlying areas.

(I think) They're not saying FLAC is pointless, just that 32 bit audio is. Even music producers record and export at 24bit, 32/64bit is only used for the effects and mixing (because compounding quantization noise and rounding errors is very real).

You can't find 32 bit PCM music anywhere, even hifi DVD audio is 24bit/96khz.

If it was legal it would be very widespread and you're lying to yourself if you say otherwise.
I see it similarly in Germany. More social housing build by the government is needed to enable people with lower income living there.

We did that less and less in Germany and now we pay the price. Higher rents and less room to live in.
Is it? What is your reasoning? And why would you pick 32-bit, instead of 24-bit or 64-bit or something else?

Actual audio equipment has a noise floor. The encoding depth you use also has a noise floor. If the noise floor of the encoding is far below the noise floor of the signal, then it won't be perceptible.

So you choose to put your noise floor at some amount below the existing noise floor. Not infinitely below, because that would require infinite bits. This is the reasoning you'd use for 24-bit audio, which has a very comfortable noise floor of -144 dB, which leaves a large margin even for extreme low-noise professional equipment (you might see -120 dB ish for extremely good equipment).

At 24-bit, even passive components like transformers and resistors are contributing measurable amounts of noise.

The reason you might pick 32-bit in practice is so that you can have lots of headroom for some DSP algorithm, or do lots of sums of different signals without accumulating quantization error. The final "archive" file will still have worse than 24-bit precision.
I love Google Photos. It syncs quickly for me and I think the UI is fast and easy to use.
People often make the mistake of focusing on the long tail of market failures with the intent of more government intervention to fix them, without thinking about the 98% of times that markets deliver additional wealth to everyone involved.
These girls are going to be real put out once they hit Tag The Sponsor. That shits forever.
I could see it as part of a pipeline/workflow where having that dynamic range lets you not worry about losing meaningful information through everything, even if you're going to compress it and take it back to 16bit cd quality at the end. Being able to losslessly store the results of each step in a FLAC file should be better than raw data since it'll be compressed and easier to manage then. That said, at the edges of that I totally agree even 24-bit can be questionable there since a lot of the analog side doesn't have a noise floor that would let it be meaningfully used.
And other people want to expand development so that people of all socioeconomic classes can live there not just the ultra-rich.

> Choosing to communicate on a private platform such as Discord, rather than something public like Twitter or Reddits is exercising that responsibility.

I find it difficult to believe that people choose Discord over eg Reddit because they value privacy - you can create a private subreddit much more easily than you can create a new Discord instance. People choose Discord because they want live chat that works.

Anyone who is consciously choosing Discord for privacy reasons shouldn’t have a problem policing themselves when it comes to public vs. private channels, no?
Roughly a third of the country knows it was stolen. The rest either approve, but lie, or weren’t paying attention.
I find your notion that dating 'should be worse' implies dating as a zero-sum game where conditions for one demographic improving necessitates the loss of another group. I disagree with that premise, and none of the 'dissatisfying' parts of dating that I'd say men uniquely experience are necessarily at the benefit of women or some other demographic. And finally I'd not say that the growth of sugar baby style relationships or OnlyFans is primarily at the detriment of men, I'd say it's less than ideal for any gender or group involved. But not really interested in further discussion as it seems like you're more interested in identity politics or looking at things through demographics.
There's a downside to making it easy to report content. You just end up with a bunch of useless reports.

"Essentially" is essentially dishonest here. The top post says:

1. HN is not the best venue to get help for this.

2. The answers that you have gotten so far are mostly bad.

3. Printer drivers in Linux almost never involve a custom kernel driver.

4. The Arch Linux forums would be better for this question.

5. Running the 32 bit driver might be easier than writing a 64 bit driver.

6. You might need some packaging help to run the 32 bit driver on a 64 bit system.

7. This would probably only be a worthwhile project only if you were trying to learn, because there are easier ways to get the printer to work.

8. What's coming over the wire will probably be proprietary and obfuscated.

9. Figuring out Canon's format with wireshark output will be very difficult, even for someone with experience at writing drivers.

It also inspired a comment from jrockway that offers additional practical, experienced advice.

Oh it feels great to learn I'm not alone in this problem. I completely agree with everything noted here.

The current interface provided for removing the artifacts on GitLab just does not work. There is no feedback; no confirmation. We just uncheck a box and just cross our fingers since there is no other step noted.

Even with the new guidance provided, it's still additional jumps through other codebases just to see if it works. I'm now worried that if I go through this new process, I'll end up right back at the same issue.
> then now we have at least a million more people that can afford to live in a city close to their work, instead of being forced out.

This is one of the most underrated aspects of the housing shortage. Some of the people harmed by the housing crunch are people paying significant portions of their income in the form of rents. But most are the people who aren't able to move to economically dynamic metros in the first place, and are thus relegated to living in a place with worse job prospects. The latter group has no voice in housing policy, and is effectively disenfranchised in housing politics despite feelings its effects.
No.

You just happen to be on a forum written in a Lisp that self-selects for Lisp aficionados and stories about Lisp. Hacker News isn't really a good signifier of trends at large.
It's very unlikely your audio interface can actually record at 32 bit resolution.

The Bay Area is extremely wealthy and on paper should be a pinnacle of human achievement.

Besides what the other comments are saying about residential water usage being a non factor, I'll just point out a competitor: Randstad. For those not aware, Randtad is the Amsterdam metro area.

Ranstad has as many people as the Bay Area in half the space, so double density (to your "the Bay Area is full" bit).

Except for techbros and probably a few other really small population groups, and unfortunately also except for the weather (the Bay Area has better weather), Randstad completely mops the floor with the Bay Area in terms of livability.
F5 is not to blame, they didn't change anything for the worse. The Plus-license is the problem where essential things like monitoring are behind a paywall. Back then this wasn't so important because you basically only had Apache and nginx.

I think I read two weeks ago what F5 was going to focus more on improving the open source version. Probably because the competition is getting harder and they're noticing it in a market share decline, but whichever the reason is, this was good to hear.

Also it was good to see it no longer being part of a Russian company, even though the devs and owners are good people. You never know how a government can enforce some problematic behavior, specially one which is known for liking to throw people out of high rise windows.

Escaping strings faster with AVX-512
You're absolutely right insofar as you're speaking about static audio that's already been produced and finished - there is almost no point in storing anything above 24-bit integer as far as dynamic range even for archival purposes.

However, there is a legitimate purpose behind having higher dynamic range for production purposes and sample sources. There are some recording sources that can actually produce 32-bit audio. Plus, you might want to do some processing on the sound that would end up affecting the dynamic range, or otherwise benefit from the increased resolution. One example is nonlinear processing that generates new musical information from the original signal - you can of course just reduce the gain after processing, but you are then sacrificing some of the resolution of the new combined signal, which itself could otherwise be used by further downstream processes. This all happens post-recording, but can still be musically important before getting to the finished product.

This is why DAWs work in 32-bit or 64-bit processing internally, and why many high-quality sample libraries will come in 32-bit, especially smaller one-shots. I often convert samples to .flac for space reasons, and have to either skip 32-bit .wavs or downsample them to 24.

Conclusions, from the end of the article:

> Sweden is not a clear-cut example for either the pro-restriction or anti-restriction side, but it does weigh against particularly painful restrictions, by showing how hard it is to definitively pin down a positive impact from them.

> Sweden does show that restrictions were not the primary factor in determining deaths rates.

> A first-line analysis suggests that restrictions had between zero impact, and a small positive impact, which would be a bit less small when viewed in proportion to the already-safe nordic environments.

> The extra restrictions imposed by Sweden’s neighbors probably fail a cost-benefit analysis, in that most people would have preferred to give up the days than deal with the extra restrictions. But people should come to their own conclusions on that.

Towards the end of the article some figures were presented showing how many days on average each person's life was extended due to restrictions in various countries, based upon the number of lives saved and the age of the people saved. The numbers ranged from two days for Norway to a couple weeks for Australia and New Zealand.

Not the person you're asking, but the culture around data representation strikes me as the biggest factor:

1. Only making valid states possible, to the greatest extent reasonably possible.

2. Treating error as regular data, not an afterthought - with language features to make that not too painful.

3. Not returning placeholder values (i.e. if you get back a parsed value from a parse function, it means it parsed correctly, not that either there's an error somewhere else or it parsed correctly).

Language features, in particular "enums" (aka algebraic data types, aka tagged unions), make this approach possible. You couldn't do it in go, for instance, even if there was a cultural decision to.
