I'd want to see a guarantee of "We will either keep running the servers forever, maintaining all current features, or we will opensource all the server side code, so you or someone else can keep running it".

I'd want the code handed over to a third party to guarantee this (so the company can't walk back on their promise).
Alacritty is basically as minimal a terminal emulator as you're going to get, wezterm is the polar opposite end of the spectrum. Kitty is in the middle, the main thing that wezterm has that kitty doesn't that I'm aware of is the daemon process that allows you to disconnect/reconnect to sessions which is what allows wezterm to function as a tmux replacement (vs kitty can't replace that aspect of tmux). Compared to alacritty, it has multiplexing, ssh sessions (new tabs/panes opened in that session are opened in the context of the remote host without requiring additional authentication), incredibly flexible configuration via lua, etc. And as far as size goes, kitty and wezterm are written in different languages so comparing them directly is not so simple.

I'm currently a grad student getting a STEM degree. Most of my friends are also in the STEM circle, and this is nice on a technical level, but I am no one else seems to take an interest in books, film, art, etc. Not to sound like every self-help book, but I do enjoy living holistically and balancing creative and technical disciplines. How do I go about meeting people with potentially extremely different mindsets and values from my STEM friends?

I've been wondering why dishwasher makers don't include a "clean indicator" with a reset button. Automatically set the "green LED means clean" light when a wash cycle completes, pushing the light turns it off, make it obvious enough and you'll likely get 99% compliance.
Whole-house heating with resistive electric heating is going to get expensive, quickly. If they're serious about installing these in cold weather climates, they should have more information about the cut over temperature and the efficiency of the heat pumps at those temperatures.

Just for context, my heat pumps cut over around 40-45 degrees to gas-based heat.
Rexx was pretty cool at the time, used it both MVS and OS/2. Wrote a ton of automation with it, ISPF interfaces that pretty much ran a dozen mainframes with barely any operator input. Way back in the day you had computer operators who sat in front of consoles monitoring messages (aka. logs msgs today) and they had to reply to keep things running 24x7. I was like skynet, made their jobs easy. Rexx was also behind a whole pager messaging system I wrote when JCL jobs failed, in a batch processing world you can't suffer problems and delays. This was at a major telecom company.

Another day, another language, fun times.
By retransmitting. Packet loss causes stalls and if there's insufficient buffering, that's an audio glitch.

A patch cable or its connectors would need to be in a dreadful state to get packet loss though, i.e. physically damaged or defective.
Did you even watch the video? There were no ads in it, and the part where he warns his viewers that he will never ask them for money is the whole thing he's talking about, that scammer bots are impersonating him in his comments and trying to trick his viewers.

Speaking of Audiophile superstitions, I do wonder what the point of fully-diminished returns is. I don't mean the flat-earth level stuff. I mean standard audiophile discourse.

Can humans tell the difference between a laptop DAC & an external DAC. Do expensive amplifiers have noticeably lower white-noise than the standard amp? Do high-impedance headphones actually achieve anything ? Do frequency response graphs mean anything if you can digitally EQ & is digital-EQ fully lossless ? Are planar magnetic headphones a scam ? Is FLAC practically overkill for a human ?

I think I can tell the difference between a 100$ and $400 audiophile headphones. Amplifiers are more straight forward, because it is simply a loudness thing. And at high-enough volumes, I can still hear some white-noise on high-gain settings. But I am less sure about the other questions.

Audio and Game devs: Need to port my custom malloc and ring buffer code to get rid of those malloc pauses

JavaScript devs: Foolish audiophiles think they can hear when someone calls malloc!

Mis-diagnosing a problem doesn't mean there isn't a problem. If you call memcp in a way that calls malloc, and your app has been running a while or your system doesn't have a lot of free memory, you're going to get pauses while malloc looks for a free address block. If that pause takes too long, your audio buffer will stall and cause a harsh crackle. People will hear that differently, and explain the problem in different ways.

TL;DR: audio and game programming sucks, and if you allocate heap memory people will actually notice.

In the extreme:

Imagine my surprise when the customers chief software engineer said "Of course it leaks". He went on to point out that they had calculated the amount of memory the application would leak in the total possible flight time for the missile and then doubled that number. They added this much additional memory to the hardware to "support" the leaks.

Pyscript is a reasonably popular client side Python in the Browser solution so wondering how your positioned with regards to them ?
you got to hand it to them for the creative ways of the con. i for one would never imagined to have included an anti-virus scanner in a cable meant for audio/video data...wait, AV, hmmm...
Prices fluctuate.
Presumably the CPU performing memcpy is sharing power with the DAC and amplifier, assuming a device that does all these things. It's not hard to imagine there being an influence, like an analog version of timing-based bit-snooping.

At the same time, I venture to say none of these folk could pass a double-blind test with much better than random chance. There's not much else to say. Demo that and color me surprised.
Not a lot of upside, but on the other hand you don't have to deal with all the hassle to switch banks. Even as a private person, I don't relish the idea of switching my bank. I have quite a number of autopayments set up. My salary also goes automatically in my bank account. If I switch it would take me days to set up everything again. I imagine a small/medium company would go through this, but times 100. If you are short on manpower (and who isn't nowadays?), then you have better things to do.
I believe one of the difficult parts of these bot posts is:

- there isn't a lot of $$$ in squashing them, since it lowers engagement numbers (engagement inflated by bots is still engagement)

- the cost of hammering down on a real user is high in terms of PR, moreso than the cost of letting a bot continue running

- no one's making them and they have no real competitors in this space, so what does it matter? where are YouTube's customers gonna go?
They still have duration risk.

I understand the concern around lock in. There is a technical hurdle to optimized thermostat <--> variable speed heat pump interop. You have to turn the temperature error between setpoint and actual temperature into a compressor speed command and also factor in behavior such as defrost, compressor cycling limits, etc. So you have to have a communicating thermostat to fully utilize the efficiency of these variable speed heat pump systems, not just a collection of analog on/off wires.
If you wanted to buy that same house, your mortgage would be about $2200/mo, PLUS property taxes. And in the first ten years of the mortgage, it's almost all interest. So instead of a landlord you're paying the bank to rent your property from them, but now you have to maintain it.

And repairs almost never increase the value of your property -- usually they just return it to expected value. When you sell a house, it's assumed that the plumbing and electrical work, and that's baked into the price. If they don't work, you have to make them work.

The only upside is that you get to keep the appreciation in the land value.

Basically, in the most expensive markets, financially it almost always makes sense to rent instead of own, assuming you invest the money you save by renting. Owning makes sense for non-financial reasons, like having more control over your living environment and a sense of place.
I very much get the vibe of a Kickstarter campaign. Is YC advising its startups to go that route more and more now that the VC money has dried up?
I tried like hell to install an air-to-water heat pump instead of a replacement gas boiler and it didn't make anything close to economic sense to do so.

What do I want from a heat-pump:

I want it to work with a contact-closure (TT/XX) input to call for heat/cooling. Sure, if you have a fancy thermostat that works better, I'm going to read the brochure, but I'm not buying it if I find out it won't work with just a dry contact input.

I want it to use parts that are in stock at my local HVAC supply house. I don't want to be without heat for 3+ days while some obscure custom part is shipped in from someplace across the country.

I want it to have an open interface to extract data (similar to the open interface of a dry-contact closure) about run-time, performance, etc. (I will, however, buy it without this.)

I want it to be sold/serviced by multiple competing suppliers in my area. (This is what ultimately undid the chance to install an A2W heat pump: only one company was in the business of supplying them and they priced it accordingly.)

For a mini-split system, I want to be able to run the refrigerant and condensate lines inside the building so I don't have hideous lineset covers festooning my house.

I'm happy to chat more as a homeowner interested in the space (but with a 6 month old Bosch boiler on the wall and possibly interested in the minisplit for shoulder season heating and summer cooling).

You can see some comparative data in this thread [0] (the author is also worth a follow). It looks like SVB was mostly an outlier but there are a few other banks with possibly similar issues.

My understanding is that the FED also announced they will loan money to banks that need to cover a shortfall due to haircuts to bond values caused by rate hikes, but that's just according to a tweet [1] from Thomas Massie an hour ago. I don't know the details of that arrangement.

I really only have two issues with HelloFresh. The first is their claim that they're more environmentally friendly than cooking at home is disingenuous at best.

The second isn't really a fault with HelloFresh (and similar), but an incompatibility with my own preferences. I prefer to get my food as locally as possible, and these meal services preclude doing that.

Also, these services are (IMO) outrageously expensive.

Not to mention the fact that sometimes bits are not bits, for example see undefined values in optimizing compilers can act as if they have multiple bit representations at the same time. I can kind of see how a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing here, I don't think that the guy who said that is necessarily stupid. Certainly not flat earth level.
The software is there. Difficult to detect hardware is not (excluding low-bandwidth devices a la the Carlsen vs Niemann scandal)

I can chime in on this one. I used to be like OP: Not an audiophile, but someone who can appreciate the difference between a $1000 setup and a $100 setup. Once I got married, and someone with better interior decorating taste started having a vote on home decor, that appreciation had to go out the window. Nobody with any taste wants floor-standing big ugly black boxes positioned at the "Optimal" listening positions in the living room. Do an image search for "high end speakers". Yuck.
This kind of makes me sad. I feel like this is a terrible trend that is/has basically ruined gaming.

The way I see it, making a game is art. I want to make games to express my ideas, and my feelings, and I want to do the best I can to convey those feelings and ideas in my games. The moment you start seeking player feedback for your game you are no longer making art, you making a product. I suppose that is all well and good if your goal is only to make money (although I highly suspect that this often has unintended and sometimes opposite affect).

Seeking player feedback is like Michelangelo asking random people on the street how he should have carved the statute of David.

This is my art, this isn't a collaboration, I don't have any desire at all to sink, time, effort, and talent into someone else's ideas, especially when they aren't willing to sink any time or effort to do it themselves, they just want to sit back and call the shots without having any skin in the game at all.

This seems like a loose/loose situation to me, the game often ends being worse in the end, and the artist becomes a cog/slave to the masses (who often don't have the foggiest clue of what they really want, or what makes a good game, because they aren't putting real time and thought into how the mechanics will interact, what is technically easy or hard, they just trow out "It would better if it did x, y,z").
Powell completed his JD in 1979 but then started working in investment banking by '84 and stayed in various finance jobs including under-secretary of finance from then to now. So he has the relevant experience. I doubt a business degree rather than a JD from the seventies would make any difference today.
How are credit unions different in that case?
They can hypothetically be packed closer together, however:

- What level of reliability is actually feasible for such a scheme? If you don’t have 5 9s, are you going to be causing catastrophic accidents? Is that level even enough? Even with near instantaneous reaction times and perfect judgement vs humans, you’re still limited by basic physics/stopping distance.

- cars still take up physical space, no matter how close the cars get you eventually run into a flow rate problem. With the addition of self driving cars deadheading to pickups, you’ll also have added traffic volumes from entirely empty vehicles.
I don't think that's true either, because most people I know (even ones who don't have tons of disposable income) have invested in some form of speaker system or headphones. I don't know anybody who just listens to music from their phone speakers.

I doubt that $40 billion of AirPods would be sold every year if most people didn't care about audio quality to some extent.

I was using free and paid assets to make the game. I think part of it is that the game I was making just wasn't very fun. For my next game I'm focusing on making the game fun first before worrying about the assets. I may continue on the action RPG, but idk. So much of making a game is the actual graphics, and even some features in games are graphical features, so I'm unsure where to go from here.

Not sure if you are serious, but that is a flawed understanding of floating point. 0.1+0.2 being slightly off of 0.3 is a floating point issue, but will be exactly the same on any normal FPU. The bits are still just bits. I literally work on floating point stuff.

Outside the box thinking is great, but being bounded a bit is essential.
> It means better lives for all of us benefiting from innovations that happen there. You no longer need to farm in freezing weather when your John Deere tractor can drive itself

That's not done out of charity, it's done for profit. And when they're good enough they won't need the farmer. Forget about the grand grand children, what opportunities will the government provide for him when when he's no longer needed?

It's all about solidarity when the VCs are hurting, but what about poorly educated in the middle of nowhere?

It should be the same for everyone: you make your own choices, and if that has bad consequences you should suffer them alone. VCs don't share profits when things are good because stocks aren't taxed.
As a wood wind player primarily in B-flat, I've just taken it as norm to take the C programs and slow them down slightly. My E-flat stuff just never has sounded right speeding up the C programs. I'll have to try the D programs to see if it'll sound closer since it won't need as much pitch correction.
Why not take an undergrad class in some of those?

Relocating them will actually break things in many cases, especially when native code is involved.
I use a RME DAC in my setup, and one of the things I like about it is the Bit Test feature. RME supply the WAV bit test files on their site. I've converted them to FLAC. The DAC shows up a message on the LCD when the bit test (played on repeat) is matched perfectly. So no stuck bits, missing bits, bit flips.. just the correct sequence repeated over and over again.

My FLAC files live on a SSD attached to a Raspberry Pi that serves them up over NFS. The data passes through three gigabit switches before arriving at another Raspberry Pi running Volumio, which is connected to my DAC.

There's enough there to keep an audiophile awake at night, but the bit tests have passed perfectly whenever I've run them. No expensive cables, linear mode power supplies, or audiophile switches would make the tests pass any better.
I had hoped that my last sentence made it clear that this was all meant to be the same kind of engagement with the ridiculous premise that occurred in the linked article, but you seemed to take it earnestly.

That’s not true though. The company knew exactly what they were doing and still they went ahead and doubled down on it.

Excerpt from article:
“Our investigation found Packers Sanitation Services’ systems flagged some young workers as minors, but the company ignored the flags.
