This comment is wrong and I'm negatively surprised it made it to the top, since I would have believed HN had a more discriminating approach.

The comment mirrors a very similar argument made against climate change: Since we can't simulate it accurately, we say the entire simulation is useless (" whether such simulations can at all provide deeper general insights into the topic than what we already vaguely suspect").

The key benefit of such simulations is not always scientific insight, but making the problem and its urgency palpable for the non-expert.

You "vaguely" suspect the problem, but that is not enough to make you go out and do something against it. You need to fully understand it to get the motivation to act in some way (write to your local politician, set up a fundraiser against nuclear proliferation etc.).

DebConf does host their own HLS streams. (They use video.js, which was started by the cofounders of my former employer Mux; I'm pretty familiar with it.)

I don't intend to suggest that it's impossible by any means; I've done it recently for a project of my own. But it's work, and it's expensive work, and it becomes a question of quality of experience. They make compromises to do their own hosting; bandwidth is always a little bit scarce and DebConf's live streams are 2Mbps @ 720p as a max rendition. For their audience, that might be fine. For others, it's not, and a good way to drive viewers away. I don't have an intuition as to whether the EFF's target audience feels that way, but their overlap with the free-software set isn't complete and wanting their live streams to look roughly competitive with everybody else's isn't unreasonable; how you look and the reliability/QoE of your stream does impact credibility.

The second tine of the fork is user accessibility. "It's just Twitch, everybody uses this" is a powerful argument for that accessibility if, unlike DebConf, you can't reasonably expect everybody to read a man page if there are problems.

How does this differ from data catalogs like datahub or amundsen? I'm looking to setup a data catalog at my work and currently I'm looking at datahub and amundsen. I'm leaning towards datahub simply because it doesn't require neo4j, which we don't have any other use for.

Not quite.

You would have to adjust for the default units in Tailwind for the padding and margin: "padding: 0.5rem, margin: 0.5rem"

In practice, GP wouldn't use "border-red", they'd use a shade of red (border-red-100, border-red-200, etc). The higher the number, the darker the shade.

These defaults are an underrated feature. The defaults for spacing ensure things look cohesive, and the defaults for color are supposed to harmonize well. They're informed by the book Refactoring UI [https://www.refactoringui.com] to ensure your design has structure. They're designed to make it easy to adjust parts of your design, without guessing, when things look "off".

> an older designer should have a rolladex full of people who they worked below, beside, and above over the course of their career

As a non-traditional professional in a lot of ways, I've found these kinds of assumptions at the core of a lot of discrimination (age and otherwise). A person should be judged based on their skills/value, not based on where someone thinks they "should" be in their life based on stereotypes and bias.

Expecting a person to be a certain way due to their age is harmful to them.

Its unfortunately unsurprising as the US is not great, and yet better than many alternatives

We're going to keep seeing this as previously homogenous - mostly white - countries keep dealing with immigration. The post/tweet Kat shares about 'assumed homogeneity when building a liberal society' is an attitude common throughout the nordic and baltic states

Industrialized nations that have relied on continuous GDP growth need immigration and yet socially, look to keep it at arms length. Often they embrace a phenotypical definition of belonging. These countries are just starting to make a journey like the US or the UK which represent two different trajectories and mythologies of state building and identity.

I'm O-positive, and I tend to barely ever get bitten by mosquitos when I'm in a group (but if I'm outside alone sometimes I'll get a bite or two). The only theory that I've ever had was that I sweat an exceptional amount when even feeling slightly warm, and given that mosquitos tend to be out in warmer weather, I've wondered if my odor discourages them if better smelling targets are available
> isn't there a scenario where Russia winning

No. Hell no. Russia is run by a mafia. The safest for the world is Russia to lose decisively and then to remain a pariah until they demilitarize and denuclearize.

They will take a victory, or even an armistice, as an opportunity to retool and try again.

> In fact, the term itself makes no sense, all color spaces are defined in terms of linear intensity.

What do you mean, and why do you think this? The definition of the term “nonlinear color space” is one that has a nonlinear transfer function. What does it mean to say that all color spaces are defined in terms of linear intensity, exactly? (And in that case, what would a non-linear value be?)
That looks like a deliberate use of "The Rings of Power" in the title, when as far as I know Tolkien never wrote anything with that title. The article doesn't point exactly which parts are "The Rings of Power" that Tolkien wrote, yet a big part of it is about the Amazon show (of that exact title), and comparing the inspiration of the book to the inspiration of the show. So, my only conclusion is that this is deliberate misdirection to make it sound like Tolkien actually wrote the Amazon show in some way.

I think the opposite is true. It really seems like the show runners and writers at Amazon really, really dislike Tolkien. They don't like him, or his stories, so they decided to change it substantially, and anyone who is familiar with the stories (as many are, since the whole point of buying the IP is that there is an existing fanbase) can immediately feel on the first episode.

They're going to have to do a lot of coping and begging. Why is anyone surprised that if you serve steaks at a vegetarian restaurant the customers will be unhappy? Either adapt Tolkien faithfully or create your own IP.
In india due to less resources for the poor compared to the rich, the government has 'reservations' for the economically weaker section, i.e. at least X percent of the students who will be given admission will be from economically weaker sections.

On the negative side, we also have reservations depending on your caste, so whether or not you get admission into a prestigious institute depends on your family history.

I have a similar encounter but with coding competitions like topcoder and codejam.

I had thought I was good. For some difficult problems, I couldn't even solve it after looking at the solution.. then, there were some people solving them within 20 minutes (including reading the question and coding up the correct solution).

That's when I've learned that there are people who are that good.

I know plenty of CSS, and the more I know, the gladder I am to use Tailwind to express it.

It's nice that some folks are using Tailwind to shortcut a need for more comprehensive learning, but let's not misrepresent that for one moment as being a fundamental purpose. The organising principle of Tailwind is to refactor styles at the abstraction level of on-page components, not supplying an off-the-shelf design system for front-end novices a la bootstrap/material design.

Yes. I'm just saying bringing up spies in this case is a distraction. Unless you have some compelling evidence to say it's spies, it's not spies. Your looking for the exotic when the mundane is far, far more likely.

> Jews and Asians are overrepresented because they give the hard signal. Some absurd double-digit number of Asian students at Harvard have a perfect SAT score.

That is why I included the SAT score in the table. Non-Jewish whites don't benefit from a higher score - they get admitted at approximately the same rates as Hispanic and Black students, despite 100-180 points higher mean SAT scores.

On the other hand, the smaller, 70 point lead of Asians gives a 6.6x higher admission rate, and the unknown lead of Jewish students a 12.8x higher admission rate. Strange, isn't it?

> the screen resolution is much better (I need lots of pixels for the larger fonts I increasingly need)

Xorg supports some scaling methods that macOS doesn't, which meansv you can scale fonts arbitrarily without a HiDPI screen. As someone with severe (but so far mostly correctable) vision problems (high myopia, mild astigmatism, small cataracts, some photophobia, moderate colorblindness) who has used recent MBPs, 1080p is still fine for me on Linux laptops. I don't find that vthe fancy Mac screens really add much in terms of readability, as nice as they are.
> a new not-sRGB-anymore color space that happens to have a compatible white point and RGB primaries.

Do you know if this new color space has an official name?

I work with it basically everyday via the three.js renderer internals and mostly see it refered to as simply "linear", but if more specificity is needed usually I see "linear sRGB". I think that's common even if it's not correct.

However as HDR color spaces take over from sRGB I expect it'll become more important to have a correct name for this color space. I have searched for one previously but haven't been able to come up with anything better than "linear sRGB".
Elon Musk could be reading this blogpost
No, that is incorrect. I think you're confused as to what "blocking syscall" means.

A blocking syscall doesn't always block, but it can always block because its interface is designed to block. Write(2) to a disk file can always block, 100% of the time. It is always considered a blocking syscall, even when it happens to not take very long due to cache optimizations.

Every single blocking syscall can sometimes return right away. This has no bearing on whether it is, or isn't, a potentially blocking call.

This is not an alternative to Max4Live. M4L's integration with Live goes way beyond what any JUCE-based plugin is going to be able to do.

This will be handy for some things that overlap with what M4L can do. But there's lots of things people do with M4L in Ableton Live that you will not be able to do with PlugData in any plugin host.

> Chemical analysis revealed that highly attractive people produce significantly more carboxylic acids in their skin emanations. Mutant mosquitoes lacking the chemosensory co-receptors Ir8a, Ir25a, or Ir76b were severely impaired in attraction to human scent, but retained the ability to differentiate highly and weakly attractive people. The link between elevated carboxylic acids in “mosquito-magnet” human skin odor and phenotypes of genetic mutations in carboxylic acid receptors suggests that such compounds contribute to differential mosquito attraction.

I wonder if diet has any impact on this. Anecdotally one of my childhood friends in boy scouts was a vegetarian and my goodness was he a mosquito magnet. I’ve always wondered if there was some relationship with what protein you eat and how attractive you are to these insects.

Edit: keep the anecdotes coming. I mean no judgement on any diet. I really just want to understand what makes these horrible insects bite people because, while I was born in Iowa, I spent most of my young adult life in Minnesota and wew that state has a lot of mosquitoes.
All of this is, in some sense, the entire point of PureData.
Is that all from one author ? If the results are submitted by multiple people I'd imagine it would be hard as not everyone have setup to measure power usage accurately.

When referring to "software" does this mean the software that is licensed at no cost to mobile carriers and consumers. Does it include open source software used by corporations for which there are no license fee payments.

There is money in surveillance, data collection and advertising. Are those practices synonymous with software.
VCV Rack is already open source. What would be the benefit of duplicating the 2000+ modules already present in Rack with PureData?
Definitely. And trade agreements will/do favor this alignment more than before

Still, the majority of educated labor flow is moving towards the US and China/Russia make it comparatively incredibly hard for immigrants to move btwn these locations. Moving between China and India would be difficult, whereas all of these countries generally can largely rely on English being their common language esp India and S Africa, where English is one of the national languages.

I think limited ability to share labor/culture/etc will limit this alternative western economy and the US has not abdicated its position yet`

If you're the best of the best in machine learning in China or India and are looking to make a move, or write a book...it'll likely be to the US and in English rather than to Brazil and in Portuguese.
This was a theme in the original article as well. This sense of not getting going because you might pick the wrong language.

This hesitation is likely because human languages are such a huge learning environment. Learning Spanish or Chinese is such a lot of work, and I don't know which would be more useful.

Good news though is that in programming, the language you learn doesn't matter. Because in programming moving between languages is trivial - the concepts underneath are 90% of the work, and are transferable. An expert in say c# could be proficient in say Rust in a matter of days.

So I get the "which language should I learn" question, but the truthful answer is that it doesn't matter.

For a reference, when at university, to prove the point, we implemented the same small program in 10 different languages in 10 days. Language is just syntax, which is trivial to assimilate. Programming happens first in the head, those techniques are the important things.
It’s difficult to accept the amorality of something you are interacting with, particularly if you are reacting to it. It forces accountability onto oneself which one often tries to avoid.

Think of it like a drug. It’s totally amoral, but it will take you to the end if you let it. Blaming the drug shifts accountability. Once you realize the drug is amoral and it is you who must stop, that’s when you take accountability.

The institution of the Media is amoral. If we sit here and say they do things for money is the same as saying such and such drug is addictive, or even more ridiculous, such and such drug has nicotine in it. Okay? It’s amoral.

Facing something amoral within yourself or outside of yourself is often unbelievable. You will always try to describe it or comprehend it, but the answer is simple and frightening.

The media actually hasn’t shifted from its virtues. We want them to be divorced from what they report and who they report it to. The amoral quality is of the essence to do it right. They should not care about right or wrong, just do, report. That same underlying trait is manifesting in another way, is all.

I doubt it. I stopped after about 15 years of double-spacing. The human brain is a lot more malleable than "common sense" would indicate. Single space is as natural to me as double spacing ever was.

How do you stop the measurement of impact from degenerating into exactly the same situation we have now? In fact, I’m pretty sure at many bigcos “impact” is already the official metric for promo.

The real thing you’re getting at is that people should only be paid and promoted for real work, and not for bullshit work, but that’s basically impossible to measure once organizations grow beyond a certain size.

Also, in orgs beyond a certain size, “holistic” peer review based evals make bullshit promo culture worse, not better. It basically ends up meaning how much people like you, and accelerates the shift toward a culture where people optimize for that instead of doing real work. And then you’re back at square one.
The screen size difference is more than enough to justify the price difference for art.
> PS: how something “sounds” is really difficult to say in a written medium. It might say more about the reader than the writer.

No, it’s not difficult. And not it’s not the reader. When multiple readers all agree about the same interpretation of the writer.
It might have been unintentional on the part of the writer, but that doesn’t make it “difficult”
Or the readers fault.
Google has most of my contacts and personal info because it has all of yours.
I think the nice thing is you’ve already taken the first step:

1) understand what is truly meaningful to you

In other words, on your death bed, did you do what you wanted to do?

Once you’ve figured that out, then you can start orienting your life towards those things.

Start with one small atomic change per week.

If you keep that up, imagine how great your life will be. Vs if not, where will you go to?

You have a son, so that motivation is there. Kids will test your patience, and patience defines parenting, just like commitment defines a relationship.

So you need to be at your best.

Changing your life for the better is one of the hardest things you can do, so start small, give yourself time, and celebrate each win.

I think in no time you can be ready to be feeling amazing and ready to be an amazing parent.
Reading this made me grin. Pocket Casts is one of the only applications that's survived me bouncing between iOS and Android and back again over the last who-knows-how-many years and I paid for their web player a long time ago, too. I've tried other players and none of them stick; the differences in affordances in something like Castro or Overcast send me back to Pocket Casts every time.

They seem to have had a rough time of it over the last few years, and seeing them end up at Automattic ("land of the misfit web toys") was nice. This is a cherry on top.
It's not that harder tests in general are more sensitive, it's just if your test score saturate at either endpoint, they are not sensitive at that endpoint

Unless the e-mail you send is either encrypted with something like PGP or whatever, or else you send it directly from your machine your friend's SMTP server, using TLS, then the operator of any SMTP forwarding host in between could have your e-mail, not to mention someone just snooping traffic.

Speaking of encrypted e-mail, if you send that to a gmail user, then Google only has the fact that that user received an e-mail of a certain size from you on a certain date. People who are paranoid about which data warehouse has their mail should be using encryption.
