Universal Audio recently released some really nice made-in-taiwan desktop interfaces in the same price range as the Scarletts. I have scarletts on my rackmount setup, UA Volt on my desk.

UA's software is atrocious though. Their spyware DRM crashes any windows VM I try to install it on.

Scarlett's software is relatively good by comparison, although you have to start their server by hand from the terminal if you don't want it running all the time.

In my experience working in front-line jobs, this is very typical even in non-union shops. All this appears to do is prevent retaliation against specific employees by setting up an objective pay scale for each store.
How about the case when an individual wants to do it without any compensation?

I tried looking for the webasm version of ECL, but couldn't find it. The official ECL homepage doesn't mention a wasm target. Do you have a link maybe?
Also possible the typeface is compatible with the readers and the content they regularly consume.

The problem is that for it to actually work you will need to take control away from the users over all their computing devices. Otherwise they can simply circumvent it.

It would mean a model as closed as iOS, but for all mobiles and desktop platforms.

I will personally never let that happen. This is way too draconian a measure to solve a problem that will not go away anyway. The predators will just go offline again or find workarounds, while it will be severely restricting all citizens in their computing freedom.

What online child predators?

I was a child before the internet and was used for pedo hunts before the internet, usually having to try on underwear in the UK store Littlewoods, the number of adults that attracted, who struck up conversations with my state employed masonic parents was quite astounding!

Ergo, I think parents should be put under the spotlight!
The fallacy HERE is "individual preferences accurately reflect collective good."

Again, there's no clear-cut answer at any given time whether or not "this particular possibly-restrictive regulation is good for everyone." Sometimes it is, sometimes it ain't. That's what you use democracy/government for, to figure these things out.
If $Duration is months, the company just waits that long and closes it anyway. If it's longer then store closures have to be top secret fly by night activities or the employees file for a union just to delay it for years, and then nobody gets any notice they're about to be unemployed and employers start closing marginal stores or not opening them because of the huge cost of getting stuck in that situation.
Probably very subjective. I, for one, am still using Courier New as my main monospace font, especially for code, and actually prefer having typewriter-y "serifs". No other serif-y monospace I've found fitted.

I don't mind Consolas, and I like what is author using now (DejaVu Sans Mono), but their stance about varying reading experience depending on the OS makes me really, really devastated, because it just reflects a sad state of IT literacy and general adoption of basic philosophy of the web, which was built on premise that how content looks like depends both on author and user (through user agent) and fact that generic font family looks ugly is in other words defaults are bad combined with users have a bad taste and set bad default values.

As was said, we are supposed to express our preferences in (through) our (user) agent's preferences.

Most probably your browser will use four distinct fonts on this page, *all* of them (and more) you can define in your browser's or operating system's settings:

It's sad that it is not a general knowledge.

U.S. adversaries were not engaged in a campaign resulting in Havana syndrome
Cases of what has become known as "Havana Syndrome" were unlikely to have been caused by a foreign adversary or some type of directed energy weapon, according to US intelligence. The new analysis does not pinpoint a cause for the reported illnesses but points to possible environmental factors and preexisting medical conditions in many cases.
It’s mind blowing how many of these takes ignore national intelligence/security. As if NSA spying on Americans is seriously the same as the Chinese government spying on Americans.

Enacting data privacy laws is touted as a solution. Is it even technically possible to prevent data collection? Otherwise that will just handicap X’s national security while other countries collect data.

Additionally, there’s enormous opportunity costs associated with importing foreign software services. Why isn’t there 10s of great search engines? Because Google is imported with little-no tariffs to many countries, removing the need for local search services. Same with TikTok. An American company could pop up to fulfill that need.

The US should just tax Bytedance for operating in the USA. As should Canada, UK, etc tax Google. Maybe Michigan should tax california software services too. We’d see a lot more privacy and a lot more diversified technology culture if this happened more.

> Hartmann either does not understand encryption, or client-based content scanning. There's a good chance Hartmann doesn't understand either :-(

I think that is debatable and depends on your viewpoint. If you only look at the technical process of end-to-end encryption it is, indeed, not weakend by client-side scanning since that happens prior to the encryption. If you, however look at it from the perspective of the use case (sending information privately without information leakage) it is weakened. Client-side scanning only makes sense if, in case of a match, some authority is informed. This is by definition information leakage. On a first glance it looks like a ok compromise in the case of CSAM but if the technology is in place it can only go downhill from there and the next step is usually terrorism followed by capital crimes. The later two categories can be abused depending on the definition which heavily differs depending on which European country we are talking about. Also if the technology is forced in place by the European market, there is very little that stops other less liberal countries to use the same technology against whatever they don't like. So it's the usual slippery slope argument with the additional caveat that a lot of child protection agencies are not convinced that it would make an important difference and that the resources should be allocated elsewhere.

The people who did this will mess up FP or any other paradigm too. I think OOP was a huge step forward but like with everything in software design, you have to have good taste and recognize when something you do is going off the rails. There is no paradigm that will save you from clueless people or ideologues.
I suppose we can all keep posting "I'm right", "No, I'm right"!

I believe people have in fact been routinely living in groups of far more than 30 people for tens of thousands of years (in some but not all places/times over that span, sure), it's a misconception to think this is new or unusual for humans.

Why would you allow a mechanism where the State dictates ownership over your body?

I can understand feeling a bit uncomfortable at this whole thing. It's a bad situation all-around to think of somebody dying younger than they should and even leaving a family behind. But if you're going to die no matter what and want the best thing for your surviving family, which of these things would you rather leave them?

> $0 and a pile of funeral expenses and little hope for the future

> Many dollars, more options in life, and having the family have the knowledge that their parent gave everything they had to care for them

If I was faced with that choice in a situation of poverty, I'd rather at least have this as a choice. Why is it better for a desperate family who just lost the family breadwinner to have $0 rather than many dollars?
This is the old Joseph Weizenbaum observation that the computer is a "solution looking for a problem," which, now that you mention it, I think can be applied to the entire tech industry.
Not as rare as you might think. EMDR is not widely accepted or recommended as treatment for persistent/long term complex trauma, when it is, such treatments are modified to fit a broader treatment regimen. Even then, it continues to be a controversial form of treatment for trauma.

This isn’t to say that people should not consider EMDR, but if they do, don’t just seek out an EMDR practitioner and expect a quick fix, but ensure the practitioner is trauma-aware and skilled in adapting treatment to the specific needs of patients with trauma histories, and it’s part of a broader treatment plan.
Since they wrote literally "think of the children" I think it's pretty safe to assume they're sarcastic.
I was thinking exactly this.

It’s not surprised it would be abandoned, but the story makes it sound like it was suddenly abandoned.

While at first seemingly depressing, I find the concept actually quite comforting.
Regardless if "free will" exists or not, it seems quite obvious to me that none of us chose our genetics nor the environment we grew up in (or to even be born at all). These two things dictate our entire lives. If that is the case it makes very little sense to carry guilt, regret, remorse and all kinds of negative baggage we hold on to.

The all-aluminum UA volts are made in TW, aluminum-wood models are made in CN, FYI. The Volt 1 and Volt 4 are a good deal.

Yes! Most conversation is not about fact-finding, but about the conversation itself.

Comparing a situation where facts serve as a conduit for further discussion, and people weighing in to try to establish something, versus a situation where someone looks at their phone, finds the answer, and effectively ends this conversation topic, I vastly prefer the former.

It's similar to experiencing a movie and being surprised by the twist, versus reading what the twist is. The journey is more important than the result.
> ...today’s systems can do vision from cameras fairly well and are only improving over time.

When we replace Roombas with Moravec-class androids that perform common domestic chores, then I think we'll really be tackling the paradox. Right now I am guessing we're at the approximate equivalent of perhaps say, just before the early Cambrian Period, when vision systems started to show up in the fossil record.

So I'm hoping for an exponential development explosion that delivers androids that do laundry (sort, wash, fold, put up, identify for recycling), clean and prep food ingredients, dust/vacuum/mop/cleaning in general, return items to their places, make beds, take out and return rubbish and recycling bags and bins, etc. Even with a developed world income well above the 90th percentile, I cannot cost justify spending ~$0.5-1.0K USD for small slices of each of these capabilities with specialized equipment to automate them, which seems to be about the threshhold they're introduced at.

Hi!

Wanted to share this little stupid extension I have created.

Mainly saves me time and motivation for my open source project, because
I have enough wrangling with Git at work :)
I would like to participate.
I think this is actually because esbuild doesn’t support everything needed in their production bundle (well controlled/grouped bundles) while it’s excellent for dev where there’s no such need.

I can’t remember where I read it, I think it’s in the official docs.

Exactly. For example, I care about pictures and emojis but not groups. And groups crucially is the one thing that (from what I hear) is extremely non-trivial to do well alongside with E2E encryption. So nothing "basic" about it, it turns out.
The bad fonts can be tweaked ever so slightly to remain eminently familiar and inviting, but slightly adjusted in positive ways.

It could be kerning, leading, default font size, all come together in very powerful ways before finding a very specific font to enhance the brand experience.

If we look at HN, the window we type a comment into continues to use a font when writing that can help induce more awareness of writing. Maybe it would be slightly different if it was a blinking square cursor. Or a slightly taller box.

"Classes are much harder to reason about than other type systems."

Strange, I find classes intuitive. Objects lend themselves to physical system analogues; making objects easier to reason about in complex systems. The paradigm specifically helps me build light mental models which in turn helps me retain the associated codebase.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

“ OO says implicitly says "objects are always worth the cost" and I just haven't found that to be true.”

It doesn’t always say that. That’s an interpretation only some ideologues have. Any paradigm will fall apart when overused. Software is still an art where you have to have taste to choose between several options.
I just use it for normal note-taking. I don’t think anything about their security model is extreme, it should be standard to use ZKK for encryption when cloud syncing.

If I didn’t need cloud syncing between devices I would have stuck to vim and a local git repo.
Two in an improvement.

With only one you can be in one of 3 states:

S1. The sensor is returning correct readings.

S2. The sensor is returning readings but they are not correct.

S3. The sensor is not returning readings.

To the pilot (or automation) using the sensor there are only two states:

U1 = S1 + S2.
U2 = S3.

With two you can be in 7 states.

S1. Both sensors are returning correct readings.

S2. Both sensors are returning the same incorrect readings.

S3. One sensor is returning correct readings and one sensor is returning incorrect readings.

S4. Both sensors are returning incorrect readings which do not match.

S5. One sensor is returning correct readings and one is not returning readings.

S6. One sensor is returning incorrect readings and one is not returning readings.

S7. Neither sensor is returning readings.

The states the pilot (or automation) sees are

U1 = S1 + S2
U2 = S3 + S4
U3 = S5 + S6
U4 = S7

This is an improvement. If you get readings that agree (U1) or just one reading (U3) you can be more confident that the reading is correct than in the case of only one sensor.

Here are some numbers.

If the sensor works fine 98% of the time, but 1% of fails in a way that gives false readings, and 1% of the time fails in a way that gives no readings, then when the pilot gets a reading on the single sensor plane there is a 98.99% chance it is right.

On the two sensor plane when the pilot gets a reading that is the same on both sensors there is a 99.99% chance that reading is right. If the pilot only gets a reading from one sensor then it is the same as the single sensor plane case, 98.99%.

Overall, on the two sensor plane if the pilot checks the sensors and accepts the result when the two sensors agree on a reading or when only one sensor gives a reading, they will be getting a correct result 99.97% of the time.

https://londonist.com/2016/06/why-does-apsley-house-have-the...

It looks from Wikipedia that that's a popular name rather than official one.

The house was given the popular nickname of Number One, London, since it was the first house passed by visitors who travelled from the countryside after the toll gates at Knightsbridge.[3] It was originally part of a contiguous line of great houses on Piccadilly, demolished to widen Park Lane: its official address remains 149 Piccadilly, W1J 7NT.[4]

However, if you posted a letter it would probably get there if the Post Office were determined enough.
You definitely misunderstand. USB-C now provides upwards of 5A at 48V. 500mA can be carried down a 24 gauge wire, but 5A needs something more like 14 gauge. How do you protect a user from using the wrong cable? Answer—you put a microchip in the cable so it can be identified.
