Timelines: An Evolution in Stream Processing Abstraction

I bring up Bitwig because it was originally made as a touch-enabled DAW. I daily-drive it on a laptop with a touchscreen, and used to even have it configured to run on my Surface Pro. Despite all this, the touchscreen was never really intended as a performance surface. If you look at how Bitwig (or even the new Logic) is designed, this is obvious: the portion of the screen reserved for performance is minuscule. Touchscreen devices are outclassed in expression by cheap XY pads with aftertouch sensitivity. Everyone, Apple included, knows people are not going to use this as a touchscreen MPC. Akai's touchscreen MPC does not rely on a touchscreen for expression.

Yeah. The ability of journalists to ignore the most obvious questions is baffling.
It's a hit piece aimed at the journalism, scholarship, and marketing that elevates the results of random number generators into life principles and universal truths. The people who wrote fawning pieces about Hsieh, SBF, or the invasion of Iraq are still telling you how to think.

Hsieh was just a tragic addict/mentally ill person, a dime a dozen, only interesting because he was wealthy. There's no need to take him down. He's down.
You need to define "true understanding" in some concrete, measurable way, or accept that you're just using it to avoid thinking clearly about AI capabilities.

> unhealthy self image/comparison to others

Is it such a bad thing that they compare themselves to their peers?

In 2018 "obesity prevalence was [...] 21.2% among 12- to 19-year-olds." [1] according to the CDC. That's one out of 5 being obese, not just overweight. And it has more than tripled since the 70's [2]. I have to wonder if it's related. A lot of teenagers are bombarded with images of their peers' perfectly healthy bodies that, quite simply, won't match what they see in the mirror. The solution? Ban mirrors.

I honestly don't understand responses like this. We're presented with systemic issues, and your "solution" is just "personal responsibility"? Something which has demonstrably failed and lead us to the situation we're in today? Do you often think that doing more of the same thing will lead to different results?

Since we're in a technology forum. Let's say you're a product owner and your app is suffering from severe performance issues. Would a "solution" of telling the developers of the app "just write code more efficiently! Use Google if you have to!" be acceptable to you? Do you think it would produce the results you want?

Personal politics, IMO, is not a good reason to avoid living in certain areas. I'm a liberal-leaning moderate but many of my favorite people (friends and family) are conservative, and many of my hobbies tend to be populated mainly by the conservative demographic. You'll always find people here and there who won't give you the time of day if you're not on Team Blue or Team Red, but my take on it is, if I can't make friends with people who hold beliefs different from my own, then maybe I'm the asshole.

That said, if it really matters that much to you, you'll find plenty of swing states with mid-sized cities in the Midwest. Upsides are low cost of living, 20 minutes from the center of the city to cornfields. Downsides are you can't go too far north if you don't like cold winters.

No area is thriving right now thanks to the recession, but it sounds like you are aiming for remote work anyway, so why does that matter? If I were in your shoes, I would pick a place that has the geography, climate, and cost of living I am looking for and not worry so much about the politics and economic prospects of the area.
My thoughts are if the Court thinks local zoning isn't a taking, it may also think Congress isn't empowered to intervene either. (Of course, the elephant in the room is it seems Congress would be unlikely to pass something like this unless it's rolled up into something else.
And, interestingly enough, an increasing number of people have moved to NYC to work remotely from here. Living in NYC is a legitimate attraction in its own right, and is appealing to a lot of people even if they're not working here.

I don't understand the obsession with LaTeX. Nobody realistically would care if you coded your resume in LaTeX because it's such a small "project" (a la "hello world") and there's nearly no real-world applications for that. Word templates work just fine and can be exported to PDF when needed.

> Not sure a larger fairing would be compatible with the current tower.

I'd imagine that a hammerhead fairing would mean an expended 2nd stage. There's just too much custom work that would have to be done (for example with the heat shield) to really make it work.

But if the cost is reasonable (I'm guessing ~$25 million for an upper stage), that isn't a bad price to pay to get access to a 12m fairing.
Well that's horrifying
That doesn't make sense from a physics perspective.

MRI machines operate by creating intense magnetic fields. In order to create those magnetic fields, you need superconductors, otherwise the magnets would burn up. Thus the liquid helium.

To make this accessible to the hobbyist, you need a revolution in physics, not informatics or engineering. Not saying that it's impossible, but if someone does develop room temperature superconductors, we're going to be talking about a lot more exciting things than handheld MRI machines.

Doesn't apply to this project, but that can be also read as "it has taken on a class of bugs it wouldn't have been exposed in a GC language, with little benefit."

Or even worse, if the app needs to use unsafe, you'd be surprised how many Rust engineers think unsafe somehow "encapsulates" memory bugs inside the block itself. Which is not true. Using unsafe can cause memory issues that bubble up the call stack.

I've also tried to get my RDA of Vitamin D every day. Often I get it from fortified (coconut) milk and a multi-vitamin. But I prefer to include fish. I'm particularly fond of canned sardines [1] because they're a long-shelf-life pantry item, they're a relatively inexpensive protein, they have lots of omega-3s and fit my low-carb diet, and (unlike tuna) they're low enough on the food chain that you can eat them daily without excess heavy metal intake, and iiuc they're a more sustainable fish option. I think sardines have a bad reputation for taste because people lump them in with anchovies, which can be incredibly salty and fishy. I find sardines to be much more mild and versatile. I find they taste best alongside acids (lemon juice, vinegar, tomato) and maybe creamy fats (avocado/guac, cream cheese). You can add them to salad, toast, pasta, pizza, or even just inside a bell pepper.

Here's a good simple recipe for someone trying sardines for the first time: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/sherried-sar...

> I've been more interested in scuba diving recently because of some of the awesome stories my friends have told me.

By the Thursday of our honeymoon cruise, I was ready to go scuba diving (we were in Grand Cayman) and my wife was ready for a spa day. We each enjoyed our days and telling each other about them, but she's still envious and wishes she'd come along to see the large groupers hanging out with their jaws open getting their teeth cleaned by shrimp (like the cartoon shrimp in 'Finding Nemo.')

Note: the primary purpose of this post is to get you to spend a lot of money on scuba certification and gear, prompted by the belief that it's worth it!
As an occasionally crazy person myself, I agree. Tried living without electricity for a few weeks in 2020, everything felt much more sharp and visceral.

Feels like modern tech has a numbing, coddling effect. You can explain it however you want, but I experienced the same thing as this guy, that electricity "middlemans" my life force, trading the high and lows for predictability, BNW Soma-style.
I had a similar experienced as a kid in the 2000s, though not quite as strict as yours.

My group of school friends would talk in person at school and then hop on a Call of Duty lobby when they got home, or chat on Facebook/SMS. Without internet or a cell phone, I was only present for a small portion of the their conversations and activities. Someone might post something funny or shocking on Facebook and everyone would be talking about it at school the next day. Sometimes people would continue a conversation that had started online the night before, and I had to either sit quietly or ask someone to fill me in (with mixed results). The result of all this is that I never quite formed bonds with that group, I was always on the periphery, the guy who hung out with them at school.

I assume all of that is more intense today than it was circa 2010.

The "keep your kids off social media" advice only works if a lot of other parents do the same, and if you live in an area where kids can easily visit each other in person.
How does this handle latency of data transfer? I have worked with professional musicians and the delay of even 10ms across the stage annoys them.

I am trying to envision how syncing DAW's through the network could possibly avoid what easily amounts to more than 20ms of delay back and forth between devices.

Is this just not an issue for digital music production? It's a massive issue for live music and in-ear-monitors on stage.
When did I say the US has taken 100% perfect actions? Also Abu Ghraib wasn't anything close to a high level decision.

The fact that if you ask probably >85% of voting Americans if the Iraq War was a good decision -- they would say no. And they vote with that moving forward.

It's an imperfect system that is still the best available.

Yet you bring forth these US atrocities in war, while Saddam himself killed 10's of thousands of innocents with gas etc. Directed from the top.

That's the kind of stuff that would happen in a power vacuum where your autocrats take control.
That still requires every app to have a bespoke updater. You just pushed the invocation to the OS.

A better solution would be for the system package manager to allow programs to add their own update servers. Assuming the developers package their programs the same way the system does, this allows you to use the exact same update logic.

Most linuxes allow this. Add a third party repository to you sources, and you can update their software with the rest of your system.

Ideally, you would have a more locked down version, where you can restrict the permissions of a given repository; although I'm not aware of anyone that has done that yet

If your primary care provider won't do at least one vitamin-d test per year, and then periodic tests once a deficiency is identified, you should get a new primary care provider.

If that's not an option, non-prescription at-home tests are available in the US for as low as $49.

I don't know about monthly, I think a 60-day followup after treatment in order to titrate your supplementation might be best (it takes time for supplementation to work), but at-home tests are an option if your provider is for some inexplicable reason, reluctant.

As far as I can tell, the only harm from supplementation comes when the typical adult consistently consumes doses so high as to be absurd (50,000+ IU daily for months) so I don't know why any medical professional would be hesitant to investigate such a common health issue with such an easy, inexpensive, and effective treatment.

Indeed. Some cars feel dangerous with lane assist when there's significant noise from repaving,sealing, etc to confuse the car and it's trying to correct nothing.

The man made fruit fly experiments are quite precisely the opposite of natural selection, which is what I'm looking for.

As for the birds, there was never observed a time when that genetic anomaly was not present, so no evolution has been observed. Regardless, it isn't the case that the species has bifurcated itself into two subspecies, rather there are 4 genders in the single species and each gender only mates with a particular partner gender.

How is this different from speciation? Easy: any organism can produce offspring of any gender, but they will all be the same species.

GitHub had ~$1b in revenues in 2022, but I have no doubt that it created many multiples of that in value among its 90m users and communities in the same period.

I would wager that the cumulative revenues of all third-party services (CircleCI, Sourcegraph etc.) that are part of the GitHub ecosystem also far exceed GitHub, value and revenues that would unlikely exist without GH (or be at an earlier phase of their evolution).

I'd even go so far as to say the value created by pull requests alone exceeds $1bln annually, for the many commercial and open source teams that use it to get work done.
Yeah, to add on to this, the article seems to imply a logical leap from

- "social media isn't as bad as bullying or having an unstable home"

to

- "social policy ought to focus on the home and school rather than social media"

But I don't think that follows at all. I don't think anyone disagrees that bullying is bad and stable homes are good. And I think that's always been a goal of child social policy. Social isolation caused by technology might have a weaker effect size, but it affects everyone, including adolescents in stable homes who aren't being bullied. It would be great if we had a lever to pull to get rid of bullying, but in the meantime if the goal is to increase child well-being we ought to act on social media.

Yeah. People who have bad trips are often in bad places at bad times to take such a powerful substance. Or, they have a lot of pent-up fear or anxiety that the LSD simply unmasks and smacks them with.

I've had a bad trip exactly once, and it was when I had no control over my surroundings and was in an inopportune spot at the wrong time. The times when I was in a controlled environment of my own design with zero distractions, extremely low probability of bad things happening, etc... it was great.

Do it in your own home, when you have a full day of time and zero obligations to anyone including yourself, and you're around as few people as possible.

> Debates raged in Tennessee around the same time about the state’s participation in the Affordable Care Act and the related expansion of Medicaid coverage. Had Trevor lived a thirty-nine-minute drive away in neighboring Kentucky, he might have topped the list of candidates for expensive medications called polymerase inhibitors, a lifesaving liver transplant, or other forms of treatment and support. Kentucky adopted the ACA and began the expansion in 2013, while Tennessee’s legislature repeatedly blocked Obama-era health care reforms.

> Even on death’s doorstep, Trevor was not angry. In fact, he staunchly supported the stance promoted by his elected officials. “Ain’t no way I would ever support Obamacare or sign up for it,” he told me. “I would rather die.” When I asked him why he felt this way even as he faced severe illness, he explained: “We don’t need any more government in our lives. And in any case, no way I want my tax dollars paying for Mexicans or welfare queens.”

> At the most basic level, Trevor died of the toxic effects of liver damage caused by hepatitis C. Yet Trevor’s deteriorating condition resulted also from the toxic effects of dogma. Dogma that told him that governmental assistance in any form was evil and not to be trusted, even when the assistance came in the form of federal contracts with private health insurance or pharmaceutical companies, or from expanded communal safety nets. Dogma that, as he made abundantly clear, aligned with beliefs about a racial hierarchy that overtly and implicitly aimed to keep white Americans hovering above Mexicans, welfare queens, and nonwhite others. Dogma suggesting to Trevor that minority groups received lavish benefits from the state, even though he himself lived and died on a low-income budget with state assistance. Trevor voiced a literal willingness to die for his place in this hierarchy, rather than participate in a system that might put him on the same plane as immigrants or racial minorities.

That may just be the difference in labeling it "climate change" instead of "global warming." Global warming describes an abnormal process, whereas climate change is something that empirically happens whether humans contribute to it or not. The climate changes (duh).

My issue with climate science, apart from it being more ideological than science when I studied it in college, is that we only ever talk about the last 100 or so years when we know so much more about Earth climate history from geological studies and their impact on prehistoric humans (paleoanthropology). Yet that history is left out. For example, we know that CO2 has been MUCH higher in the past due to increased volcanic activity.
