The commenter suggested not only FLAC but also Opus, which is a lossy codec that compresses better than MP3. So you could save some disk space.

But generally I agree with you, if you're happy with how your setup works and sounds, MP3 is no great sin.

As for what the commenter said, firstly, MP3 was synonymous with digital music in most of our minds for so long; second, even if modern equipment handles all the better codecs, a lot of us still have memories of times it didn't in the past. Third, I think some of the tooling around metadata is not as developed or ubiquitous for, say, an ogg container. There are ogg comments, but ID3 is better supported.
That’s not making the argument any less terrifying. You see that, right?
That's an interesting development, thank you.

Exactly, it's not like the culture/pay/environment really changed. Apple's really quite an old school place to work (like you pay for lunch?!?). Also, it's so huge that there are radically different parts of it (even just retail vs hardware vs software vs ID).

Turbulence happens, and it’s often not possible to see it coming. Air is transparent after all. I’ve never been on a flight in the US where the preflight safety briefing didn’t say that seat belts should remain fastened when you’re in your seat. But I’ve also never been on one where i haven’t observed people being pretty damn casual about it when we’re at cruise. It is probably time to specifically add something about turbulence to the briefing requirements.
Europe is definitely heavier on environmental design to enforce behaviours rather than signs, as nobody will obey a sign if they can get away with it.

I think "they told me to do it" is perfectly reasonable defence in this case.

If your employer tells you to build a knife why would you be held responsible for him stabbing someone or themselves? Even if they bragged to you that exactly what they are going to do.

Nice work! Bookmarked. Any plans to add openssl tools? I keep finding myself needing to convert x509 certs to text, and of course there is the never ending question of how do I generate my own SSL certificates. I guess it would be awesome if many of the most frequent questions on StackOverflow had a "kody tool" answer. I'm saying this because I think many conceivably could.
That’s like saying that the reason people litter is because it’s 100 times easier to throw shit out of their window than to walk to the nearest can.

Maybe there's a "HN User" stamp on your ad profile?

Jokes aside, if you do your data request from FB you should see your advertising selectors come back. Before I deleted my account, FB thought I was a 17 year old girl interested in boy bands and makeup.
There was a front page of HN post just a few days ago about a college student developing exactly that tool. As you can imagine it’s a hard problem but there is absolutely going to be value in it.

Pretty sure PATH was doing something similar even in 2015 - 2017.

I remember multiple times being annoyed by a short train that would block a station for 10 minutes in the late morning. Police would get off, go upstairs, then come back with presumably money. Maybe I was mistaken why they were there but that was always my impression.

I am sort of surprised they stopped picking up cash this way since it always struck me as smart because no one could necessarily know when they were coming, could vary pick up times, advantage of grabbing money and disappearing into the tunnel.

Meaning is ambiguous and finding it is intrinsic to the human condition. Meaning is getting harder to find, certainly, but it can still be found. What we are moving towards is a deterioration of fulfilling experiences as our social world is corroded by the modern internet.
You are missing my point. If being unable to divide space and time over and over again is the true and only resolution to the paradox, then in a hypothetical world where you can divide space and time indefinitely, the paradox would not be resolved. So I ask, are you willing to argue that if our spacetime was Euclidean, then we could not move? I would find that claim absurd, after all classical mechanics describes motion in Euclidean space. Is classical mechanics nonsense because it describes motion in a space where motion is not possible?
You can see air moving if opaque particles (eg. a cloud) are in the moving stream of air. Otherwise you don’t see anything.
The bit where he references Sydney Chapman's obscure theory as being of critical importance and then doesn't actually tell you what it actually stated is even more annoying.

This paper - funnily enough written by the article author - does attempt to tell you what Chapman argued.
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1125543#....

Assuming his paraphrase is accurate, Chapman argued that workers would act against their interests by picking higher pay over shorter hours, and employers would respond in kind by poaching employees from rivals by offering higher salaries for longer hours. It's also implied that this is somehow also against the corporation's long term interest but without a proper explanation of why; but perhaps the original writing offered a less muddled concept of the "optimal" amount of working hours (for whom, on what basis?) than the paraphrase.

That provides some theoretical justification for state limits on reducing working hours in the interests of preserving employee health, something which happened in many industries a year after Chapman made his argument (a bunch of industries where people worked an average of 57 hours saw a mandatory 48 hour maximum working week; though I suspect arguments that UK mining and manufacturing workers didn't have much choice over schedules was a larger factor in that decision than the assumption they were working those hours out of greed)

But I'm not sure this theory which doesn't have a whole lot of empirical support particularly conflicts with what mainstream economists believe[1] or gives us any reason to support the author's contention that the "optimal" maximum working week is 35 hours.

[1]few economists will argue for the benefits of a 57 hour work week, and other theories in labour economics acknowledge certain scenarios in which workers will become overly fixated on the size of their pay package over longer term considerations
As an autistic person, this reads as "stimming". Sometimes your brain wants a little more sensory input, or a specific set of known and comforting inputs. There's a lot of situations that trigger stimming behaviors, notably stress or intense focus. I like to think about it as having something to ignore. Sort of like having the right music when you're in the flow, it feeds the part of your brain that filters out unnecessary sensory information. Otherwise it gets bored and starts messing with what you're trying to actively do.

Let me be clear: these behaviors are only bad insofar as they cause you distress. If you simply stop all of these behaviors, you'll probably not like the result.

What you should focus on is replacing destructive behaviors with less destructive ones. It's not terribly difficult, just reshaping an old habit.

First, find something that feels similar, maybe rubbing your knuckles down your arm, or pinching your leg. Doesn't really matter much what it is so long as you're comfortable with it. Every time you catch yourself pulling your hair, immediately move to the other stim. Don't stop to repremand yourself or think too hard about it, just build the link between behavior A and B. After a few weeks, focus on the feeling you get right before you pull your hair. Identify that, and try to link that to your second stim instead of pulling your hair. This will be difficult at first, but once you train yourself to associate the trigger with the new stim, it gets easy. After that, you just have to monitor yourself and keep reinforcing the new habit until it sticks.

In the long term, I suggest you focus on the sensation you get right before you pull your hair or bite your lips. This psychological trigger is associated with some physical or emotional state. Identify the trigger, then you can start to figure out what state it's representing. From there you can explore what in your environment is causing this state, maybe it's an external stressor that you can manage. Maybe it's associated with boredom or internal stress. You might find interesting answers down that rabbit hole.
Spring dev is creating Mona for Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@MonaApp

It is supposed to be available for iOS, iPadOS and macOS.
AppImage is just a handy single-file solution for the very standard "tarball of executable + dependencies" which is good enough for such complex projects as Firefox and Blender. You don't need to integrate with the OS, and you don't need to put everything in a container either. Just include all the binaries and libraries you need, and make sure everything looks in the correct path. That's it.
Try planning your time down to the 1/2 hour for the day. If you allocate YT in there then fine. If you don't also fine. But you know exactly how much you've budgeted and what your sacrificing if you break your plan.

You don't have that choice if you're building a service that relies on having a mobile app. You are required to have presence on iOS if you want any semblance of success.

> mess with our culture

What did they change/do? If I may ask
Securely multiplexing the hardware resources of a computer is the job of an Operating System, not applications. There is no effective security implemented in our operating systems as they are currently offered. There hasn't been since IBM XT machines with dual floppy disks and MS-DOS.

I can hand a stranger $5 without having to trust them with access to my wallet.

I doubt anyone, other than Jart*, can show me how a user can hand a document to a program they don't trust, without risking all of their stuff (and the OS) in Windows, Linux, Mac that is just as transparent and easy.

You want programmers to spend time and effort routing around missing security infrastructure, which is always going to be futile, and they know it instinctively.

*Because running a Linux executable in a browser offers a path towards LPE (Least Privilege Execution)
I think of it exactly the opposite way. Containers show that an extremely high degree of compatibility has been achieved. Think about it, you can run new software, on an unrelated distro, even a newer distro that wasn’t planned when the host distro was created, because they all conform to the Linux ABI.

You'll need the App Store if you want it on iPhone, which means you need to pay the subscription.

I'm not going to sit around all day and play pity-party with you about impoverished developers. I've known my fair share too, and I might even be one depending on your definition of poor living conditions. The point is simple: Apple stops people from doing arbitrary stuff for no reason. Perhaps you don't care; I'm not arguing that. Maybe it doesn't stop people from getting rich; obviously, money is still made. Regardless, everyone knows their deal stinks like shit - the cat's out of the bag. Apple bought themselves a couple months with the 15% punch-line, but the laughing stops next year.

This isn't controversial or high-concept stuff. You should be able to freely install stuff on your iPhone even if you don't personally intend to. It seems like by-and-large, the democratic world agrees.
Perhaps backup was the wrong word, what I meant is more like "baseline". Renewables can be scaled up and down much easier than nuclear, so the nuclear power output should be about constant, with wind turbine being stopped to prevent overgeneration.

Gary Marcus: We need a CERN type collaboration to achieve artificial general intelligence because private companies are incentivized to solve specific tasks that support their business model. Deep learning with ever larger data sets will not get us to AGI. For that we need other tools. Symbolic reasoning might be one. Right now, we don't know how to get to AGI and need a paradigm shift to understand it. That's going to take a lot of money and collaboration similar to the CERN project.

If you get meaning from using slide rules and riding horses, computers and cars really do strip the world of meaning.

Many people find meaning from other things, like personal connections, that are removed from work that can be accelerated with tools.
Perhaps we should give credit to what they were seeing then rather than remove credit to what we see today.
Since writing this, I have seen the trick - copy just the go.sum and go.mid files into an earlier layer, then get the deps, then copy all the other source code.
You have to actually want to quit, though. Increasing the friction for access is a gimmick at best. Right now you're in the self deception phase; you know it's bad and that you should quit, and intellectually you want to quit, but your lizard brain doesn't agree.

Look at how folks who successfully quit porn do it.

> a week or two before falling into old habits

You need to replace old habits with new habits.

Also, as a random aside, get your hormones checked. An imbalance of sex hormones can make things like concentration exceedingly difficult.

> any progress

You've fallen victim of the "fuck it"s. You assume if you fail you might as well not try. A habit is that behavior we return to, and this goes for things we don't habitually do, too. Just because you fuck up doesn't mean you should quit. That nagging voice in your head, the one that says "why even bother, you'll just screw up again" is a liar.

You must get up. You must try again. If you listen to that voice you won't even try. Don't believe the inner labeling of "I'm just a failure", if you believe that you'll be right.

They can.

Since there is no preexisting contract supporting the invoice, it will never be paid or have any other effect except to guarantee that they aren’t hired, but they can invoice all they want.

People are having an issue with him "not naming the issue" in the article, but for what it's worth, I understand why?

There is so so much in mainstream economics that "feels rooted in fact," aka, lies or more accurately, overly-relied-on-unprovable-theories, the work of trying to debunk them can make one forget which one you're talking about today.
Very true. One can copy the product/idea but cannot copy the process and distribution.
I don't disagree that given a high enough bitrate, MP3 will become transparent. More my point was why not use a more efficient codec (like opus) if you are trying to save bits (128kbps is transparent for stereo music vs the 200+kbps for lame extreme).

If you aren't trying to save bits, then why use a lossy codec at all?

That's more my point. MP3s will be smaller than flac, for sure, but opus or he-aac files can be even smaller (half the size or more).

Funny. I'm reading The Phoenix Project and just finished the about the CEO chewing out various employees. I keep thinking, responsiblity flows upstream, or should. Ultimately it is the CEO's job to put his people and the project in a position to suceed.

I successfully reduced time wasted on YouTube by making the website much less appealing. I unsubscribed from everything, emptied all of my playlists, unliked every video I liked, deleted my comments, and disabled my YouTube history. I also turned off ad blocking for YouTube.

Now the algorithm isn't targeting me enough to serve attention-grabbing content. And the time it takes to get gratification with pre-video ads has broken up my habit of clicking through videos.

It's interesting to note that YouTube is still surprisingly good at suggesting relevant content to me, even on the home page. But much, much worse now than how it used to be.

If there was some way to slow down the internet speed back to around 1mbps, I think that it would cure a lot of internet addiction without much effort from the addicted. The habit-forming craving -> action -> random reward/outcome loop has to happen quickly for the habit to be formed. If it becomes craving -> action ->1 0-20 second delay -> random outcome, I think the brain soon decides it's going to take too much effort and time (maybe hours) to get the favorable outcome, and other things are better for a dopamine boost - like exercise (10 minutes of work and then the dopamine rush is guaranteed).

The same thing worked for me with food - I ended my snacking habit by not keeping unhealthy food in the house. It is just too much effort to go to a convenience store (10 minutes) for a little 10-second dopamine boost.

The brain is good at this algebra. An outcome's correctly or incorrectly estimated value needs to be higher than the effort to get that outcome. Otherwise, the effort becomes unappealing.

Author here - there's definitely a lot about trucking that I didn't get to cover. E.g. growth in autonomous vehicles, the issues recruiting drivers, federal regulation, and the lasting impacts of unions.

That being said, human centered design probably doesn't work in trucking. The assumption here is that people within a certain role has a fixed set of pain points. The truth is that trucking is too wide to categorize in that way. E.g. I met dispatchers that had a really hard time finding loads, but others had a really hard time getting drivers to pay them. Every person's experience and pain points in trucking are all slightly different simply due to the nature of the industry.

I think there's certainly an education component to most trucking companies failing but the root of the problem is the design of the industry.
