Singing.

I was part of a choir in high school and early college, but never managed to get good at this, even though I knew well how skilled singing should sound.

More than a decade later, when I was really exhausted after tending to my infant child I let out a sigh of the same type that we did as exercise back in the choir("Aaaaaaaah"). To my surprise it was almost effortless despite making quite the sound due to it being more or less at the resonance frequency of the bones in my skull.

And then it dawned on me. It's essentially turning yourself into an elaborate fart pillow.

Of course there's much more to that in things like posture and the mentioned resonance, but I had that covered from years of training. The only piece missing was using the diaphragm correctly.

Now I sing daily and while my range is pretty average, I don't strain myself any more and can do it for hours. Also the tone is just so much better now.
You need outgoing 80/443 to regularly update. Blocking other ports doesn’t help much, since, they could get out through 80/443.

If the incoming connection is limited to VPN, that’s as good as it gets. You have equal or less security when you login to your bank.
I'm surprised the smallest listed size is 296 KiB. To me this is very large, especially only for a website's HTML.

If I were making a similar list, I would use it to compare modern sizes versus what sizes could be (e.g. on older computers or embedded systems).
Yes of course: when the exchange doesn't make you better off, you don't make the trade. And the Great Resignation is a sign that plenty of workers are looking for better exchanges than they had been getting.

That changes nothing about my point though--if your employer was getting exactly the value they were paying you, they would be indifferent to keeping you employed. And vice-versa.

FYI, you have it backwards. The parent said Munger was deserving.

> I doubt it.

Exceptionally bright people exist. Had Munger not gone to HLS immediately or at all, I wouldn't bet against him doing exceptionally well (still top 1% of 1% of business outcomes).
What?! You can’t import/export between them?

That’s what I did when I left LastPass for 1Password, was fairly straight forward from what I remember.
Do you think trading stocks should be illegal as well?
I would never rebase at the command line and avoid rebasing generally to the chagrin of team mates. A merge retains the information to reconstruct the rebase anyway so might as well use the simpler option. Unless there are a lot of commits such that in aggregate they conflict but individually they apply smoothly.
There are not too many types to begin with. Ints and floats and that's pretty much it.

In Element Web for example, if I search for my username, all I get are the results in which my nickname is mentioned instead of also including messages sent by me.
Citizen has a movement where they throw all the tech they have at it to guarantee 1 second per year accuracy. I remember things like quartz crystals have aging effects, so they used pre-aged crystals - little details like that. It even has an anti backlash mechanism on the second hand so that it ticks perfectly with no visible wobble. It probably doesn't make sense when it would be much cheaper to just use an external radio/GPS time source, but as a watch company, it makes a statement about their craft.

There are other high-accuracy watches (it's mostly a Japanese market thing), and I believe +/- 10 seconds a year is considered fairly pedestrian in that world.
> "artisanal" thing is mostly hype.

I strongly disagree. Food manufacturing is a process with a massive amount of variables, which we can neither model nor control for in a factory.

Every batch of supplies is slightly different. The flavor trends vary by season, and even in the most controlled environment, things go wrong. Additionally, cooking/food manufacturing often involves extra 'learned' steps that aren't properly documented or understood.

It is not that cooking/food-manufacturing can't be automated. But perfect automation of it requires so many sensors, so much multivariate optimization, incredible amount of manual verification and so much modelling.... that it quickly becomes cheaper to just have manual labor balance those all by feel. As someone who worked in highly automated manufacturing lines, the machines we work with all are all faulty in their own little ways. Being able to have an intuition for what just-right looks like and being able to reproduce it manually, has continued to be a difficult problem for all manufacturers. This is doubly true with food, where the scientific processes for certain things are still unknown.

I have tried aged American Parmesan cheese blocks and they are objectively worse. Barbeque seems like the most automatable process, yet nothing comes close to a a real pitmaster's brisket. Sometimes the main task of food preservation is simply keen inspection & disposal of bad batches, which remains economically un-automatable.

Artisanal products aren't always better (sometimes you need steel extruded dried spaghetti & dusty parmesan), but they are often different & hard to reproduce with a machine.
I believe Bun is meant to replace Node. Could be wrong though, I am not a Javascript understander by any stretch of the imagination.
The salty posts about his hosting provider are confusing to me. He is paying $55/month and is expecting aid in forensics and audits? Is that normal for a low cost provider?

Edit: Also it sounds like he didn't immediately shut down the server after the first hack? That is completely insane. I understand you want to investigate but you are leaving yourself wide open leaving the system running. It's been compromised. End of story.

“Targeted attack” can mean many things. If you have control over wast sums of hard to trace treasure a determined attacker might just kidnap you and/or your loved ones, and win your cooperation using threats of violence.

Your suggested safety precaution is a sensible start, but far from enough if you have a lot of bitcoin.

The bottom end of the housing market is usually junk or otherwise tied up legally. Just because you get hits, doesn't mean that's a viable option.

I just did a housing search recently and found this out the hard way.

Look at the median for an area and then figure that you can go 10-20% below that for a "fixer upper". Even that isn't an option if you don't have DIY skills.

I don’t like this notion that good conversation must somehow be dishonest. To my mind, the key is being sympathetic to your interlocutors—sympathetic in the old sense, meaning understanding and sharing their emotions.

Great points.

I’m not sure about saying ‘that’s really funny’ when someone tells a crap joke though. At least where I live in the UK, that comment would come off as insincere and be quite distancing - better to just smile or tease them gently
Growing up this was a big realization for me the other way. I was raised by evangelicals in Kansas, including going to a mennonite school for most of my education. As a teenager I realized how at my school, at my church, at basically everything in my family's shared life, there was not a single person with brown skin. Not even one. And worse, no one had real awareness of this, and would not understand how it could be any sort of problem if you brought it up. To them it was just the natural order of the universe that their world was purely white people.

There's plenty of evangelicals of every race, but overall the communities are very segregated. It was clear no matter their professed faith, in practice the community I grew up in was hostile to PoC.

Back in the day, kit radios were about as advanced as you could get with DIY electronics. You can still buy kit ham radios but the advancements that have been made in what is available for hackers is enormous. A full fleged computer the size of a deck of cards is amazing. This guy built an incredibly complex security system using off the shelf components that could have easily required zero soldering had he only used wireless sensors. His design is maybe a little over engineered (tamper switches on junction boxes?) and is probably much better than what any residential alarm company could offer.
There is a recommendation from one Ukrainian doctor on Youtube to take senolytics for a 1 week per month rather than continuously, because apparently it takes ~20 days for a new generation of senescent cells to form. But David Sinclair, as evident from his Lifespan podcast, seemed to take a couple of senotylics on a more continuous basis, for months probably.
Indeed. I'm from Indiana, our 4th grade had lots of Indiana history, and talked about the mound builders a lot. We have a small one uphill from our local YMCA. We talked about the local mounds regulary, from here to St. Louis. Seems to be almost a weird sense of local pride.
Technically, it's more like "treat it like any non-fungible asset".

Plenty of "normal people" use combinations of physical security to protect their assets. Safes, deposit boxes, tamper proof materials etc.
I’m struggling to understand it. I hate crypto but I thought the ease of spinning up new wallets was a benefit. With that amount of money and the knowledge I was being targeted, I’d have hundreds of cold and hot wallets to distribute the attack surface. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding crypto or the situation.
It's hard to have a truly controlled experiment though. The result will be valid for that farm, on that year - but next year the conditions will be different, etc.
Yeah shared storage is still going to be the hard part of home lab HA. Either you make a NAS with RAID or you use something redundant like Juicefs or Ceph split among your k8s nodes. Any better ideas?
Domain-driven or data-driven (not sure which).
Oh I understood your comment perfectly. Sorry if mine didn't reflect that.

> I'm arguing that according to common sense, he is guilty of corruption.

And I argue that it's a good thing that _common sense_ is not a criterion for convicting someone - in theory. Which clearly you agree with.

> But I also said why vote for someone who's implicated in so many corruption scandals? The pile of evidence is astounding.

Is it really? Evidence that implicates him as a person, showing that he used his political influence for personal gain? Evidence other than people who had already been convicted themselves and were facing an option of either saying what the courts wanted to hear and get lenience, or facing life or near-life sentences? (Not in the technical sense, since Brazil doesn't have life sentences, but for all practical purposes yes)

Evidence other than unsigned contracts? A visit to a flat that was actually sold to a third party, not involved in any of this? Evidence other than a paddleboat in a country house of a friend of his family? Evidence other than words like "I don't have proof but I have the conviction" from the judge who condemned him?

Real evidence that would justify putting him in prison?

Note that I'm not saying he hasn't committed any crimes but what I do know is that other than through a lot of undue process and fabrications they managed to condemn him.

I believe in fair justice, and the only logical conclusion from these processes is that he is innocent. They turned his life around for years and still had to resort to a process fraught with illegalities and wrongdoing to condemn him. That's not fair, and in fact it's downright criminal, so he's not guilty. Since he's innocent until proven guilty, which he wasn't, the only possible conclusion is his innocence.

In any case, according to _common sense_ he should be in office. That's what elections are for. Which he now is and, in my opinion, both Brazil and the rest of the world are better off for it. You're very welcome to disagree, of course.
Is there a way to make sure the output is playable? Playing this looks like a bit of a stretch: https://i.imgur.com/pFC7tAr.png
> That’s common to all typed languages

It isn't. Haskell, for example, has a type system expressive enough to encode concepts such as "a function which takes an array of elements of any type (fixed at compile time) and another function which operates on elements of the type that array is composed of and returns an array of elements of that unnamed type" and it has a type system with fewer holes than any Algol-derived language's (Ada, C, Pascal) type system has.
And even after being hacked once due to !!! physical access to the servers !!! he was still looking for an "accessible" dedicated server instead of a trusted service or self hosting somewhere he could keep safe. He had more than 200 bitcoins. People are weird.

- Start a personal blog about software engineering principles

- Have some good code on GitHub

- Prefer working on-site if you can. Working remote is great once you have learned how to learn

Good luck with your search.
I had been wearing the F105W for about two decades and then decided that I want an upgrade. I tried to get as much value for my money and ended up buying the LCW-M100TSE-1AER from Casio's Lineage collection for 240€. Features are

- Titanium casing and strap

- sapphire crystal glass

- Wave ceptor (radio signal receiver)

- Solar cell

- Light (not great, but usable)

If Casio combined these features in a classic looking LCD watch that does not cost a fortune, I would not only buy one, but three of them. I know, there is the MRG-B5000D-1, but with a price tag of 3500€, which is more than then times the price of my watch with fewer features (no waveceptor) this is a bit expensive IMO.

toxic positivity

Positively toxic echo chambers. I think you summed it up perfectly. I've seen what you described occur in the past on other chat platforms and forums. Mostly forums. People that think alike get some high rank and access to private sub-forums and people that have thoughts not aligned with the tribe start to think the forum is no longer being used. Not sure how that would translate into the Mastodon platform.
Does it generate human playable arrangements? I don't even know what that means, but I assume there's some max width fingers can travel or have pressed down at the same time. This is an awesome thing and I can't wait to play with its output in my daws.

This is continued proof to me that the future is art on demand that is instantly created and shared and does not need to be captured in a static form like a youtube video.

I took a few years off mid-career to try teaching mathematics, but couldn’t make it work.

How I got back on the dev track:

1. I picked up any gigs I could from craigslist, just to be able to get a recent job from someone who would give me a reference.

2. Then I took any contracting job I could get, again, focusing on getting experience.

3. From there I was able to get a full time job and leverage myself over a couple job hops back to where I would have been had I not left programming for a few years. I think that something similar would work for bootstrapping a programming career out of being a hobby programmer.
> make sure they’re talking at least 1.5x as much as you

I completely agree, but be aware this can backfire. My wife said that on our first date, she felt she was at a job interview. I asked so many questions in order to keep her talking about herself (people love to talk about themselves). I guess it worked because we got married, but still, she did not feel entirely comfortable about that first date.

Maybe that’s why this article says keep it at 50/50, not 1.5x.

> we have nothing on the horizon which can replace the energy density of a barrel of oil

This is in the vicinity of a good point, but as written it's false. Uranium has oil's energy density beat by a wide margin. And (at least if we're looking at naturally-occurring isotope ratios) thorium is at least 30x more energy dense. (Hydrocarbons are very nice as energy storage, of course, and can be produced in a carbon-neutral way if you throw enough energy at the problem.)
Also don't forget that code (including the complexity you want to add to it) will probably have only something like an aggragate ~1/3 chance of still being used in a production scenario 5 years or so away anyway (for any number of reason, product change, feature removal, company bought / sold, the list goes on and on...) of course these numbers are anedotal but the point is it can be detrimental to think your code will run as is for the next million years, especially after the first draft

On what basis do you say this? Is it anything more than your gut feeling?

How much more training data do you think will be needed to bring about this 10x or 100x improvement? Do you have any expectations as to how it will be obtained?

The only mistakes experts made in the Challenger explosion was failing to draw pretty a enough picture to convince barely numerate management to stop the launch.
That could be it. I work outside of "tech" these days at smaller orgs that naturally attract people with significantly different personal motivations to those in the tech world.
And get annoyed as settings changes seem to get reverted arbitrarily for whatever reason. Most “normal” people would carry on, mumbling about how computers are weird and incomprehensible, but it is not really a good thing.

Also, a device’s settings that depend on the port to which it is connected is terrible UX.

Show HN: Isitongamepass.gg
Xbox Game Pass is pretty amazing. However, the official website to list games is horrible. It takes forever to load, it's hard to navigate, and weirdly difficult to just look up if a game you care about is available on Game Pass.

Enter https://isitongamepass.gg - a super fast site where you can look up the current Game Pass roster. My goals going into it were speed and easily accessible information. Each card has a game title, a poster image, and the set of platforms it's available on. If you click on a card, it opens up a details view that has links to the store page for the game as well as a description and availability details.

This is something I put together in my free time and is the first website I've built (although I'm a professional software engineer) so I have no doubt there are some bugs. If you run into something, please comment here or send me a DM. Same goes if you have ideas for improvements!

A couple other random things:

Why are some games listed twice?

There's a weird thing where some games have different store IDs on console vs PC. There's no good way I've found so far to combine these listings so they show up twice, once for the console version and once for the PC version.

Why .gg?

It turns out isitongamepass.com is an already owned domain with nothing on it. I briefly had the thought of making it isitongamepa.ss, but you can't really do this because of Nazis.

Things I'm thinking about for the future of this site
- More filters, specifically being able to filter by platform

- Improve search functionality

- Find ways to improve speed and responsiveness

Reducing body fat requires careful dieting and exercise. First, you need to be in a caloric deficit, which involves eating less calories than usual. Second, when you're in a caloric deficit, you'll lose both fat and muscle. Lifting weights becomes absolutely crucial, otherwise you will lose a lot of muscle.

Hill strides don't build strong legs. I did a lot of cycling in my youth, and I thought I had strong legs—since they seemed slightly larger than average—but I didn't. When I had to do something that required actual strength, such as kicking a ball, it turned out I was rubbish.
Ask HN: Are there any good open source text-to-speech tools?
