Chat gpt can already parrot back some idea to you in the written "voice" of any famous historical figure you care to name, and remembers context from earlier in your session to inform its written inflection as well. Presumably this implies we have "line of sight" to doing something analogous in the audio space, at least in this generation. Certainly if you fed a whole book into chat gpt that it had never read before and asked it to describe the intonation of a character's voice it would have some level of accuracy (e.g. "husky" vs "meek") so I think we would want to do something similar for the AI reading. It could also probably pick up on context in what it's reading and read it with emotion.
> Cross platform integrations

Even just on Linux, there are multiple platforms. The big ones are KDE and Gnome. If you want to write the best possible native Linux application, you have to pick one of these and right off the bat you are losing about half of the potential Linux desktops.

I wish KDE and Gnome would merge. I don't really care which one would dominate because (IMHO) they are both excellent. Both give me icons I can double click on to launch an application and that's most of what I need from my desktop environment.

The biggest is that they are trying to maximize revenue/profits. In controlling the flow of information to people they are in better control of that. A lot has been studied about this.

I didn't realize there were other motivations until FB started to publish studies they carried out on people. Some of those (which they published awhile ago) were around the manipulation of users emotions and their ability to target voting groups (to increase people going to vote in target groups) around elections.

In DJGPP, you can use uclock() to get a sort of high precision timer, at least much higher precision than the 18.2Hz timer usually employed in DOS apps.

As for audio, I'm afraid I have no suggestions. My memory is blurry, likely because audio programming in DOS was very not good.

> I’m not okay with any amount of time. I think copyright should be abolished straight up.

Well in that case, see Chesterton’s Fence. Do you know why copyright exists? Do you understand the problem that the law was created to solve? What was the problem, can you summarize it? You don’t get to abolish copyright until you actually understand the history that got us here. You haven’t yet managed to acknowledge that some copying is bad, bad for the economy and bad for incentivizing creators. Some copying is done without any intent to add value, it is done purely for private financial gain. Your argument and stated opinions are not addressing the problem of people who seek to simply take value from creators. You’ll need to make a case for why people should be able to straight up steal and sell others’ work if you want to say copyright should be abolished, and you haven’t even begun to justify that position here.

As creator and author, as part-time musician, part-time artist, and full time writer of software, I’m glad copyright exists. I’ve already had cases in my life where people wanted to take my work for free and use it for their own profits. I’d be okay with some reduction in copyright term length, but I’m glad that people who just want to pirate stuff while hypocritically raging about corporate greed online don’t make the laws.
I think it'd be hard for that to work out. The incentive would be to underpay/underhire technical staff, and you'd probably have a much inferior app/dispatch experience, which customers wouldn't tolerate.
It's just clearly not a $250M bond. Almost nothing to do with SBF himself. I mean, also, fuck the guy, but the prosecutors claiming this is a 250M bond are just being absurd. This is a $4M bond, or maybe up to $12M depending on the assets pledged by the lesser guarantors. It's a far cry from $250M claimed by the prosecution.
He has a constitutional protection from cruel and unusual punishment. If there's no reason to believe he's dangerous to society, and he's presumed innocent, and we can use a bond to ensure he'll appear, then there's no reason to hold him.
What?(!)

The guy stole billions from average people AND big time investors (he pissed on both buckets), he then proceeded to make such dumb mistakes that make him seem like it has a borderline mental issue, he also happens to be an absolute zero for charisma. How do you expect someone to sympathize with him, honestly?

Do you normally use "fuck you" in conversations in anything other than a light-hearted way? I just read the guidelines and they describe my preferred communication pattern. I said my friends express emotions in their argument, and now I've learned to, but personal attacks and assuming bad faith are going to just cause me to block someone, as I don't see how the conversation could be productive at that point. The couple times I tried to escalate to match that sort of argument it did go well though. I guess that is just the communication style of some? I don't like it, makes want to hit people. Only done that once at work, and luckily they tried first so they weren't safe to report it.
In another life I was a practicing Catholic and if you haven't, the book of Revelation is an actually interesting sci-fi post-apocolyptic fan fic, especially the dramatized renditions like the Left Behind book series (movies are terrible).

Revelation describes the anti-christ in a similar fashion. Is the Pope implying Lucifer has returned? I wonder if the Vatican even takes Revelation as true dogma in practice too, since it is somewhat off-the-wall.
> Musk thinks it's his job to influence public discourse.

To be fair, that is not what he thinks. He is after truth/facts in public discourse without undue political influence from any political camp or government agency. The reason Democrats are rattled about this is the fact that the left has behaved badly in this regard. It is the reason for which this comment will be mercilessly downvoted and flagged. The truth, sometimes, hurts. And yet, it is the truth.

My standard suggestion for anyone who can remain neutral and open-minded is to imagine the opposite scenario. In this case a Twitter and media dominated by right wing politics and influence, from every single employee all the way up to government and universities. That scenario would be just as horrific and undesirable as the current status quo. It is in everyone’s interest that the masses not be subjected to undue influence by any political party, not one.

That’s what Musk wants. The fact that he is being vilified is a sad reflection of a simple reality: In politics those purporting to be one thing are often the opposite. People say they are for tolerance, equity, inclusion, fairness, open-mindedness, access, etc., and yet, in real life that’s a lie. The minute someone challenges their ability to own the means of communication and messaging none of those things matter. Remarkable.

I certainly get a lot less blue screens and lockups than I did in the past, and the OS shuts down locked-up apps more quickly.

Group policies have replaced the registry for advanced configuration of the OS. The only time I’ve needed to change the registry is for dealing with poorly written, old drivers, which are becoming more rare as Microsoft’s standards for getting a driver signed are becoming more stringent.

I alway liked RSS readers and look forward to a renaissance, but the idea Twitter no longer has utility is absurd.
> Spinner vs progress bar is not short vs long operation, it's non-progressive vs progressive operation…

Spinners are typically used for "indeterminate" operations while progress bars are typically used for "determinate" operations¹.

"Progressive" is a less useful adjective here because indeterminate operations progress too, and it's just that their total duration can't be usefully estimated.

And as you note these aren't hard-and-fast rules, and a spinner is generally a perfectly fine choice for short determinate operations.

¹ Progress bar controls typically have an indeterminate flavor too, and these can be mixed. For example, you'll typically see an indeterminate form of a progress bar until a total duration can be estimated, at which point the progress bar will change to its determinate form.
I do love me some RSS. I started using RSS seriously 2 years ago, and last year, I forked Bubo RSS[1] to have my own RSS reader[2]. It's just a static site that is built every hour using Github Actions (although you can easily turn this into a cron job on your Raspberry Pi or whatever).

I liked the result so much, I ended up doing something similar using RSS feeds to a build page with all my of Youtube subscriptions[3].

In 2007 the state of playback was pitiful. Of course the authors guild saw the trend lines, but even in 2022, we know Siri/Alexa don't sound human at all (my pre-teens make fun of them).

This reminds me of the joke about an economist not picking up a hundred dollar bill on the ground because "if there were really $100 on the ground, somebody would have already taken it".

Not every system is in an optimal state, and sometimes things do actually get worse. To pick a random example, everything used to be on Netflix, now everything is split up among 50 different streaming services that all cost $15/month. If we rewound things back to before streaming fragmentation, I would expect a replay of what happened, but you can't use that as evidence that "I guess people just like it better this way". To conclude that requires a base assumption that American capitalism always produces an optimal state, which is just obviously wrong.

I don't think you're necessarily wrong about Lyft and Uber, but I don't agree with your principle that if you can't figure out why things have gotten worse, then you must be wrong and they're actually better for most people.

Confession time: I came to this thread to Ctrl-F for "Rust" to find the Rust-C fisticuffs. And this answer is like what I would expect if I said "ChatGPT, write me a reddit-style Rust defense that would rustle some jimmies."

I'm about equally capable at both Rust and C - I could pass a 1st year undergrad CS course using either, but I'm no better than that.

I know C has its place - its marketshare of embedded devices and gamedev is huuuge - and Rust... may eventually reach a similar place of importance, but isn't there yet.

I also know the very best C and Rust devs are pretty much geniuses - Ph.D. level understanding of math, that kind of thing - and would squash me in any type of fair competition.

Maybe in the year 2050, an attitude of condescending acceptance towards C might be appropriate. And also... maybe not, because C might not slip. Who knows?

And really, beyond this pretty crude but accurate-ish description, I think we're getting into unnecessary hair-splitting, among people who don't work with either and wouldn't understand the tradeoffs anyway.

That is really the crux of the matter, and where people are (reasonably) disagreeing with you. Does a $4M bond (from his parents' assets, not his) and a $246M IOU really ensure SBF will show up in court rather than fleeing?
Policing jargon is also a marker of being in the "in" crowd, at least, a different one.

I disagree pretty strongly that tact is a form of dishonesty. Being tactful does not mean dancing around the issue or feeding someone a line of bullshit. It simply means communicating in a way that's less likely to make someone defensive. Tact is orthogonal to clarity or directness. The fact that people may dance around difficult conversations because they already know how it will be received is neither here nor there.

WRT to using passion and emotion to win an argument, I'm not so sure. I tend towards the passionate side, and while it served me well in startups and smaller groups where I had a strong reputation for competence and putting in the work. But as I moved into more senior rolls at bigger tech companies, where I need to collaborate with a broader set of people who I don't know closely, I had to tone it down to be effective. What style is most effective? Essentially it boils down to one thing: know your audience.
Pathetic to have different political opinions? Is that where some of us has landed. Anyone speaking against my own views are pathetic worthless and worthy of scorn? Then you wonder why society has divided into culture wars and why so much hate exists in the world.

Went to bachelor party in North Beach. When it came time to go home we approached a cab driver that had been waiting curb side for around the 10 minutes we had stood there and talked. He said he already had a fare. We offered him more money and off we went. That was the cabby's version of demand pricing.

Personally I like that Lyft/Uber can tell me how much it will cost before I get in the car. Cabs can rarely do that and I have taken complete tours of cities at times when a more straight forward route existed.

> If you have any untested code and need to make changes that affect it, you are incredibly screwed

But you aren't. If your software isn't landing airplanes, you shouldn't treat all bugs as critical. Build safety nets, not guard rails.

Python might have 10% more non-critical bugs, but also allows you to ship 5x faster. That's a great tradeoff for vast majority of projects.

> Unit tests and linting are palpable interruptions.

I do believe some teams have this problem, but mine never had. To me it's a signal of many tangential issues (bloated codebases, obsession with unit testing). I don't believe it's a language-specific problem. Also, you should just lint-on-save anyway, slow linting in CI is a minor nuisance.

> Speaking of performance, we were excited to discover ruff on HN a few days ago, which advertises a >100x speedup over flake8 -- it's written in Rust, flake8 is written in Python.

In order to create a better flake8, you have to create flake8 first. The reason flake8 exists in the first place might be that it was easier to create in Python. First succeed, then optimize, not vise versa. Also flake8 is a CPU-intensive command line tool, not your typical environment for Python.

> Apparently most people who don't believe that have jumped ship to other languages, making the problem worse than ever
