Why do you strawman my argument?

The issue with combining sounds in the mix is the issues add up in a super-linear way.
Because of that you could even say that modern music producers tend to care too much about perfect sounds.

The Beatles did not have the same production requirement modern music have since there is high-fidelity equipment. The music industry as a whole changed a lot.
Modern music production have multiple passes just to clean up one "perfect vocal take", like de-essing, breath removal, etc. This is insanely more advanced than what was the standard in the 60s. I'm not saying it's better either.

>What’s the symbolic representation that captures the tone of every bend in a Hendrix solo?

That's not how music works. You refer to the score, and the precise way you bend your tones is up to your interpretation. Even if you wanted to copy one-to-one Hendrix, you'd copy the style, not one performance exactly, so capturing every little bend does not really matter.

Which could be an AI project: Hendrixify a guitar track.
Good point. In this case we had a misapplied "dual-track agile" structure, which in theory means the whole organization is "doing agile", but since the feedback loop is super long, it's indeed just waterfall-with-extra-steps.

This is not the first time I see this happening. Product Managers love it. IMO it is classic micromanagement. Product Managers want more control of the process than is afforded by a "self managing agile team", so the only chance of control is achieved by isolating team communication and having "small" deliverables that they have full control over. IMO that's alright, but it's waterfall. You can't expect the advantages of an agile process to apply to this.
That is painfully close to being true, and truth is, no one wants to maintain code.
Tech recyclers absolutely do. It's pretty much their entire business model to turn disposed devices into something they can resell.
Because the actually valuable content (the data) is protected, while the disposable part (the hardware) is taken. If you have a responsible backup habit, disaster recovery is as simple as restoring another device. FDE gives you permission to shrug-off lost devices and data, something an unencrypted laptop can't quite offer.
Is this project abandoned? The readme hasn't been updated since Freenode went bust and there's issues piling up.
I've ridden my bicycle on 4 continents clocking up over 35,000 km. OsmAnd was my primary navigation app except for the 6,000 km in China where I used Baidu maps.

So I'm really excited about the app being more responsive on my next tour.

I recorded my tours with OsmAnd and then (after some post processing) created maps like this:

IIRC the previous Vice article mostly mentioned things like school bulk-selling devices, without doing the legwork of disassociating / resetting devices out of MDM. At no point is the goal to force the destruction of the device.

When you buy an Apple computer as a company you should enroll it with MDM.

MDM bypasses this issue completely, you can remotely wipe and re-use a computer if it's signed to a companies MDM.
Fortunately, we now have The Peripheral on Amazon. But it's a shame to lose the final season of WestWorld.
Small side project, meaning anything that's fine with occasional downtime.

You should run at least 2 servers for redundancy, regardless of size. You just can't lean on a single server, even if you can squeeze thousands of RPS out of it (big doubt).

It will inevitably fail, and you will have downtime.
I'm surprised "Next with Postgres" is under "Old School" here.

Building an MVP to me means you are building a Proof of Concept (POC) for investors to see the value in your product. Using something that has a proven and lengthy track record and plethora of industry resources in the market feels like the right approach.

Depends on resources too... If you have separate resources for FE and BE. Probably still go Rails for BE. The upsides to Rails is productivity and job market. I'd track metrics that would help you keep an eye on application performance where it matters and iterate on those areas post-MVP.

For the FE I'd go NextJS... You can use it as just React or actually use all of the pieces to it where necessary. You can host it on a server or toss it on Vercel or Netlify to have less worries until you outgrow those (if ever).

For the database I'd probably use something that works well with Prisma JS for productivity, PostgreSQL or MySQL.

I'd stick to TypeScript for that productivity too. The iteration speed is a brain dead reason to use it.

If you can make the BE and FE with the same team and use all TypeScript... I'd use NextJS + Prisma JS + tRPC. tRPC would give a huge productivity boost because of its TS integration into your project. You just need someone senior enough to establish guard rails like the boilerplate, linter, and other guard rails to keep more junior developers on track and productive.

I feel that the combination of these frameworks will give you the right mix of quality and iteration speed without sacrificing one or the other. Also, great hire-ability. Though, all of this depends on if you actually need a DB and a backend, or even a frontend for what could suffice as an MVP.

Just some thoughts...
I'll also add that, as someone with a tricky back, working (on personal projects at the time) via headset while lying on one's back is both possible and reasonably effective.

Another that I'll add is that I'm nearsighted and everything on the headset display is always in focus for me without my glasses.
And I've setup everything from scratch. There is no software on there that I wouldn't install on my personal machine. If anyone wanted access to it they'd have to ask me for a password noone else knows.

Yes, it is perfectly reasonable and in many cases prudent to not use your companies laptop for home-use. So you may chose not to do it.

That the company would own everything you did on it is still completely unreasonable.
this is all true for the producers/sellers of the nootropic, but what about anyone else?

The passwordless experience you deserve
I create this account to answer. Yes. In 2010 Aprox i was at charge of a team of four junior programmers and a female documentator. The business was related to Mexican IRS things, mangaing sensitive information. I create am open forum MYBB for all of them and a CATEGORY with my team name, and a forum for each one. Example : Junior 1 forum, he can see and create, but not edit passing x time. He cant see the junior 2,3 or 4 forum. For me and upper management was transparent. I can see the individual forums and general, and documentation was in another subforum.

I ask all the people to say daily what they do (general manner), biggest problem, and biggest acheivement. If they had problem with sales asking suare circles, they put as a problem, if they have problem with internet put there, if they need ask for a schedule change to go to baby, bank , Mexican IRS or similar they do there.

Other forums in the category include tips, code, snippets, rules, etc. Was a complet success. We got a surprise inspection from partners and customers and pass all the security , traceability, scrum and agiles controls. This last aprox two whole years.

Two months later i was demoted/changed to other area of API and special projects because i refuse to obbey against the law / Mexican IRS orders, and internal desorganization. They do the order to not use more, but not erase. Aprox six months later, planning my exit of the business, i ask public in mails permissions to erase all the repositories / forums / database of that era, because have sensible information, that was true. i get authorization and erase all.

The better part was two weeks later we receive a surprise inspection and get 0/10, yes, zero. The people in my old position was a friend of a founder and use the time playing electric guitar in the office. I leave when they ask me to fix all the mess of three years, without power, all responsability, for the same money, but too they ask me for erase all the referential integrity. I quit because in an IRS related business, was suicidal.

But yes, the forum appl yvery well but need take time to proper put levels of visbility and edition.
The latest Tofino 3 is... quite something to look at. Might actually take the cake for largest MCM and largest BGA package at over 10k pins. The POWER5 MCM is a similar size but has much fewer contacts.
Generally speaking, this works to unlock one off devices (and not mdm) but if you went to them with bulk serials to unlock they would tell you to go away. The scale recyclers operate at this does not work.

Apple is a public company, and public companies are accountable to shareholders, not customers. Shareholders want it to be worth their while, so yes it's about the money. It is possible to do what's best for both, and Apple still does that plenty, but the customer of today isn't the customer of the Apple you're describing. I wish they focused more on the Mac line, and the M1 and M2 are returns to that, but Apple's making money off iPhones, not Macs.

Not at all. The google mothership wants to keep you within the play store's walled garden.

I have an F-Droid question.

The only way to download F-Droid (as far as I know) is to download the apk directly from their site: https://f-droid.org/. This means having to side-load the app. Of course doing that means I would want to do my due diligence and verify the download using the PGP Signature they provide. My question is how do I verify a PGP signature completely on my phone?

I do know how to verify it on my laptop, and then I could send it to myself or install it using adb. But I'm hoping there's a way to do this without having to involve a laptop.
Java is a language which is completely free to use.
Your sort of correct. Lots of drugs like plaquninal are immune modifiers not suppressant.

However shoving large amounts of sugar and basically everything in the American diet is a great way to get the immune system to decide that everything in body is the enemy.
It's not faulty logic at all. Scientists have known for a while that your ability to experience pleasure is a result of certain biological processes.

"Recent findings in the field of neuroscience have, however, demonstrated that a single functional circuit, incorporated inside the broader dopaminergic mesocorticolimbic system, seems to be involved in the various experiences of pleasure"

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2018.0035...

Going back to your accusation of "faulty logic": an interruption in the ability to experience pleasure, which is established to be controlled by biological processes, having a basis in a biological process would be deductively valid logic. Anhedonia is an inability to experience pleasure.

"Warning: This app may track your GPS position" or similar. Not totally unexpected of a maps app.
So, this is the problem, you can easily say something is sufficient but it might not be neccessary, or vice versa, implying the converse is often not true. It's does seem silly, but you're right a lot of conservative hackers are anti-systemd, but the converse really isn't true, I don't even think it's like "here are some exceptions" rather than most of the anti-systemd crowd are not reactionaries.

Also, "conservatism" meaning "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is NOT equivalent to political conservatism at all. Conservatives all the time advocate for changes that contradict tradition all the time. Just look at the zoning debates in the US, none of the "keeping X neighborhood sfh" people who argue for it because of "preservation" want to minimize parking to the point they can't fit their f-150s anymore, which dwarf the trucks of the 50s. It has a veneer of "respecting tradition" but they don't really care about tradition in the strict sense. It's like most political ideologies, it centers on a set of values and ideas with justifications that come later.

The left really is the same honestly. While "progressivism" has a nice summary as being "for political change" in some respects, they too respect tradition and history when it fits their aims. It's more correct to say that the sides really have a set of values and ideas that are central, without some overarching central tenet or explanation.
Google really has to fix the interface for Youtube Shorts. I've struggled to watch video on it on my iPad, and on both of my laptops, and now a desktop "gaming computer" that has a Ryzen 9 7950X processor. I learned early on not to click on those "clickbait" videos not because they are trashy but because they don't play or take a lot of futzing with the UI to play.

How it is Google can't replicate the very simple UI of TikTok is beyond me but maybe it has something to do with those layoffs.

I saw someone on Tiktok complaining about this and they said that the laptops came from a company.

But the iCloud lock very clearly showed an @outlook.com email address, which would be absolutely bizarre for a company that's recycling a bundle of 50 or so laptops.

Proof that accessibility and usability are entirely orthogonal.

For screen reader users only, this provides them with the information that activating this link will open or close a menu.

Screen reader users do not need to open or close menus. Menus do not take up space or sit in front of other content. Closing a menu offers no usability benefit to a screen reader user.

All they need is the options to be present under a navigable heading that they can skip to when they need to access those options.

Meanwhile, non screen reader users are forced to guess what will be behind the ≡ button this time.
If you support either popular option for political parties in the United States, you're already trusting them with access to various parts of your private data. That is simply unavoidable in the modern world, unless you never use anything but cash, never connect to the internet other than through Tails on a burner PC, and never make use of any government services whatsoever. Paying taxes? They've got your info. Got a drivers license? They've got your info.

If you don't think both the Democrats and Republicans would love nothing more than a few easily-squeezable companies being the clearinghouse for everyone's data, then you're exhibiting some quite hard cognitive dissonance. There are already companies in existence with the sole focus being to funnel your data to anyone who asks, including the government.
For my own (PC) machines, I don't run any sort of AV or anti-malware. For everyone else in my family, they run Defender and an anti-malware tool.
Part of my job is developing apps on the Quest 2. As a headset, it's bargain basement tier. The absolute minimum hardware you can get away with, plus some clever position tracking software. Everyone else does it better, at three times the price.

It's the first consumer level headset at an acceptable cost/performance point. Nothing about it is particularly good, merely acceptable. And I'm pretty sure they're being sold below cost, FB is subsidizing them, hoping to sell you more ads in VR.
I don't see how popping an eFuse would really prevent anything. Even if logging in triggered some sort of key generation for remote bricking that was tied to the phone's password, at the end of the day Apple still controls everything. You'd still have to trust that they wouldn't just silently push out an update that replaces the key, because they'd have to have the ability to replace the key anyway.

If you don't trust Apple to not remotely brick your iPhone, don't buy an iPhone.
This is exceptionally poor legal advice.

Non-competes are legit if they are narrowly limited in time and scope. It's perfectly fine for a company to demand that if they hand over their proprietary know-how to you, know-how that has cost them years to acquire, you won't take it to the competitor across the street. And no, an NDA is not enough to protect them. They own this information, not you, and no, you can't take it.

NDAs are legit for obvious reasons.

Work-for-hire clauses are absolutely required. If a company is paying you, they own what you create on company time and company equipment. No, you can't take it and sell it elsewhere. It's perfectly fine for you to resist signing a clause that says they own what you create offsite (so long as it's not related to your day job), but a company cannot continue to operate if employees can take what the company paid for.
Along this line, I find their cancellation of the Oregon lab and Haifa dev center to be concerning. Sure, in the short term that stuff eats money. In the long term it means you stay relevant.
Ah, I see. Some quick internet searching shows that from time to time (rarely), NYSE operates the Cermak site as the primary site for at least part of their operations - for up to a week at a time.

> 3rd party libs

A lot of this is the inertia I alluded to. There's no reason this couldn't all be written in C#. Kind of like the C++/Rust debate.
I agree. My contract says that my employer can choose to enforce a non-compete for 12 months after I leave, but if they do, they have to pay me during that time. It creates a strong incentive for them to not abuse the non-compete.
It's ugly as hell though. The person might like learning but I wouldn't think they liked aesthetics or elegance.
Owners need to unlink their device before sale, and buyers need to verify that before purchase. This is not Apple's problem to serve.
> These 2 books largely tie the Frank Herbert Dune universe with the B. Herbert/K. Anderson Dune universe. And that seemed quite forced to me and, cynically, felt like an attempt to force you to read their Dune prequel trilogy

I really like the Frank Herbert books. They are on my favorites shelf. The sequel/prequel books were just ok, and felt like they were trying to fill in details that were left to the reader by Frank Herbert. By filling in the details, I'm sure the thought was we are completing the story... but that story was already told.
This seems like a good alternative to Ngrok if you need to be able to share a temporary server with someone else.

What I've been doing for my own work, in the case that I need to access a server from one device on another, is to use Yggdrasil.

https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/

Yggdrasil is essentially a p2p VPN where peers have IPv6 addresses that are declared by their public/private keys. I set up a dedicated peer as a nano EC2 instance in AWS so that my devices can reach each other no matter where they're located or what sort of firewall they're behind. My EC2 instance also provides a nameserver for my Yggdrasil peers.

I know it's not exactly the same as Ngrok, but I've found it really useful for development purposes and simply for the purpose of being able to control my devices. My phone, both my Macbooks, Raspberry Pi, and even my car stereo are peers on my Yggdrasil network. The downside is sharing with a 3rd party means they need to install Yggrasil, that is unless you set up a public web server to act as a "tunnel" to the web servers in your network.

Before someone mentions security, not all of my devices are connected all the time (e.g. my phone), and my EC2 peer whitelists which peers can connect.
Our uni taught us Haskell, Prolog, C and Java. All very intensive. First it was C, then Haskell & Prolog and then Java. When I came out of uni, I wanted to use Prolog & Haskell for everything, but jobs were only in Java and C.

> non-competes are fine if they are narrowly focused, fair, and your compensation is sufficient to make it worth the restrictions

Yes! This is a particularly true for most software engineers. I have a friend who is a doctor whose contract says that if quits, he can't practice medicine within a 30-mile radius for 12 months. His only option would be to move to a different area, take a job with a horrible commute for a year or to wait it out. On the other hand, as a software engineer, I've never been in a situation where my thought is to move to a direct competitor. My skillset is broadly applicable to many industries, and it wouldn't be strange to do one gig for Home Depot, the next one at Google, followed by a role at Tesla.

Why do you think anyone here is talking about decrypting your data? What's being discussed is wiping the devices and making them usable by someone else.
If they are stolen, good.

It will prevent further theft if nobody made any profit.
Gosh I've seen that so many times before and yet never really looked at it until now.
