I mean, right now the current state is effectively an undiscoverable control language, with somewhat flexibility but generally fails/unreliable unless you restrict yourself to very specific language — language that differs based on the task executed, often with similar but different specific formats required to do similar actions

I’d argue that if the current state is at all acceptable, then a consistent, teachable and specific language format would be an improvement in every way — and you can have an “actual” feedback loop because there’s a much more limited set of valid inputs, so your errors can be much more precise (and made human-friendly, without, I think, made merely programmer-friendly).

As it stands, I’ve never managed a dialogue with Siri/Alexa; it either ingests my input correctly, rejects it as an invalid action, does something completely wrong, or produces a “could not understand.. did you mean <gibberish>?”.

Having the smart-ai dialogue would be great if I could have it, but for the last decade that simply isn’t a thing that occurs. Perhaps with GPT and it’s peers, but afaik GPT doesn’t have a response->object model that could be actioned on, so the conversation would sound smoother but be just as incompetent at actually understanding whatever you’re looking to do. I think this is basically the “sufficiently smart compiler” problem, that never comes to fruition in practice
The iPad Pro has 4 speakers.

You seem so matter of fact with your opinion.

How big is the classroom in your mind?

Video conferencing units like you bring up most of the time need separate drivers, or an app to connect.

Should I have all these different teleconferencing apps on my iPad in case I show up to a client that uses xyz model?

What happened to apple’s “it just works”
I didn’t have a phone until college but I still didn’t pay attention in class in high school. It seems like a fantasy to think that if not for smartphones students would be happily sitting quietly listening to teachers, then go home and studiously do their homework. That’s just never been the case at any point in history.
I don't think the concern is that the subscription doesn't bring value. Just that it builds no equity. Once the renting agreement ends, you lose all the access you once had, not just access to future things to come.

(edit: I don't know if this is actually true of Final Cut Pro's model)
But still, it's not a thing that should be used in most classes, and it doesn't belong there. Even back in time when "snake" was the best mobile "app" around (so old nokia times), if a student used a phone in class, the teacher would take it away, and a parent would have to come and pick it up in school.
> The current regime would have us paying royalties to the dynasty of the guy that came up with the wheel.

Even worse than that. They want us to pay royalties to the person who has a piece of paper saying they own the idea of a wheel.
They are generally. But it's hard to enforce particularly when the parents back the kids. The idea of their child not having a phone at-hand 24/7 so they can be surveilled is quite intolerable to some parents.

The kids who first had iPhones in their teens or even tweens are now having kids. Many have been smartphone addicts themselves the last ten years or so. As an older millenial, my friends consider it unusual and unwise behaviour, a sign of my general eccentricity, that I sometimes leave the house with no electronics. How many adults experience discomfort when separated from their phone for more than a couple hours? They're in denial of their own addiction often, why would they see their child's?
Fewer bombings than I remember. -- I wonder if it is because bombs make a big splash, lot of flash for the news. The US kills many more people with guns, but it's so passé, old news, let them die. But a bomb, that gets people outraged, 'we have to do something'. Wonder if there is a racist component, bombs are something 'poor countries' use (brown/terrorist). But Killing with Guns is just a God Given right (white), "I should be free to kill".
Because you need a ridiculously complex type system to model JS's behavior and then in the end don't even get soundness for all your trouble?

I know this comes across as really hostile but I just feel very burned by TS's promises and hype. You can work in it more confidently than JS I think but a lot of that is due to the tooling. In exchange you massively increase the required knowledge and mental modeling to keep track of what's going on and why. I used to be all about it but now after using it in a few big projects I've lost the enthusiasm.

Someone on here once described it in an excellent way, saying it's great for working out "type puzzles," which smart engineers tend to experience as important and productive. But the actual practical benefits in "the real world" as you say I'm becoming less and less convinced of.
I guess it would be characterized by someone noticing water seeping into their house in the dead of night and then going back to sleep instead of trying to stem the flow.

There is a whole audio plugin ecosystem on iOS (AUv3), but I think your point still stands.

Anecdotally, I use my iPad for music production, but it’s a very different kind of context and process from what I do on my Mac. On the laptop, I’m typically producing full tracks in Ableton Live, while on my iPad, it’s more “jamming” in apps like Drambo or AUM, something closer in spirit to a “DAWless” hardware setup.

Logic Pro on iOS doesn’t hold any appeal for me as that’s just not the kind of workflow I value the iPad for.

GitHub outages aren't nearly long or often enough to consider this. Git is distributed, just keep working locally until GitHub is back up. GitHub outages are nowhere near the threshold of pain I'd require to introduce a second Git hosting provider to the mix.

Really, GitHub outages barely hurt at all. It's not like an AWS or Cloudflare outage which is more likely to be a production disaster. Every outage a bunch of people on HN start screaming about owning their own on-prem destiny or wondering why we're still on GitHub. Nothing changes because it's not nearly as bad as those people are making it out to be. Life is all about tradeoffs.

At my son's school, they all have to put the phones in the 'phone hotel' at the beginning of the day and pick them up at the end. Sorta worked, until the kids all just started bringing in old phones to drop in the phone hotel and keep their actual phones with them. That and the Apple watches and chromebooks mean pretty much no kid has any trouble doing whatever they want even without their phones.

> It needs to have open and comprehensive plugin support

iOS has a thriving plugin scene, using the AUv3 (Audio Unit) format. Search the App Store for "AUv3" and check out the huge range of synths, effects, etc. In addition to smaller devs, there are some big players who have ported their flagship plugins (FabFilter, Eventide etc.)

> The workflow for uploading and exporting content needs to be seamless, and the iPad OS is still limited in this regard

It is much better since Files was added to iOS, though still a bit clunky. Their page (https://www.apple.com/logic-pro-for-ipad/) advertises "roundtrip compatibility" so hopefully they've made this easy

> Screen size and real estate are still a concern

Definitely a valid point, maybe this is the catalyst for a 15" iPad!

> Ready-to-use ecosystems for operating with the iPad, such as interfaces, audio monitors, etc., need to be developed.

Any class-compliant USB device will work with an iPad (or iPhone), so most audio interfaces, MIDI keyboards, etc. should be good to go. It only won't work if it requires a custom driver

My wife's had parents call their kids in class. Just to, like, chat.
When phone addiction gets brought up, someone usually says that phones just serve the same function newspapers used to. I don't remember being in high school and everyone in class was reading the newspaper instead of paying attention to the teacher. Or that they would carry a spare newspaper in case one of their newspapers was confiscated.
I suspect that having visited one of those places could be considered proof of wrongdoing in a legal proceeding.

I’m not sure that visits are sufficient to lead to incrimination now, but it might be soon — enough that those visits should be considered “sensitive” by any commonly understood acception of the word.
If it's something like a resource locator or questionnaire, then doing the processing locally in JS is in fact better for privacy than sending personal data over the network. It's nice when websites work without JS but you are a deeply unserious engineer if you think that there are no tradeoffs involved.

A relative of mine, Substitute-teacher (usually inner city), brings a "mesh pocket shoe hanger" to each classroom. During roll call, each kid must show the phone is off, and she hand writes (in cursive) the child's name on a piece of masking tape across the screen and back, while noting which kids phone was put in which pocket. The kids are allowed to have their phone back at the dismissal bell, and not a second earlier. She allows the kids to send a text to their parents letting them know their phone will be off for the day, and if an email list is provided, also informs parents that any emergencies should be directed at her phone or the school office.

Obviously this creates quite a reputation with kids and school administrators... but what is a surprising is the occasional protest from parents wanting to talk to their kids all day. Her stance is "take it or leave it, I'm not changing", and she doesn't always get invited back by certain schools.
Reminds me of a rat study that I forget the details on, but essentially they gave cocaine to rats in a sterile basic cage, and they went ham

Then years later, a researcher refuted the claim of the original landmark study (regarding addition), by giving the rats a sanctuary with other rats, area to roam, basically a mini park, I believe the rats either didn’t take the cocaine, or did it once and didn’t like it after.

Addition isn’t in a vacuum. Anything can be addicting. It’s the environment that matters as well.

Soldiers coming back from Vietnam were doing opium like mad, to a point where the US government was preparing for an opioid epidemic (ironic now), then found that rates of opium addiction were FAR below than perceived, most likely cause the soldiers weren’t fighting in a terrifying jungle 1000’s of miles away in a war forced upon them that was a losing battle.
GIT is actually a great protocol for keeping distributed copies of code. You can pretty easily with bash cycle through a list of backup urls for a git repo, looking for updates.
This is basic vocabulary. “Violence” is a word that encompasses a range of actions. “Fascism” is a word that refers to a specific political ideology combining various elements.
Don't worry. I've seen lot of school administration treat students as things to be controlled, not people.
with a 4/4 (which is most of music is these days) there's only so much slicing you can do to have relative times between notes differ.

There are also a number of things that change the expression but not the melody. eg Hallelujah vs Zombie:

- have different melodies but use the same chords

- can be sliced and diced both with various rests and palm mutes and arpeggios and strumming yet still have them individually identifiable (and sometimes very close, possibly even overlapping in some sections, but that's perfectly normal and how one does a good mashup)

Even the time signature doesn't mean much, one could play Zombie on a blues shuffle and it would still be distinctively Zombie-esque.

Throw in music theory and keys and I IV V and chords and whatnot which I still don't master but I get the idea, it severely reduces what one ought to do to compose something enjoyable.

With that you can mathematically reduce you problem space to some extent.

In any case it's all completely moot because fundamentally the creation process is a) ingest ideas, b) digest, c) excrete ideas, which ultimately come from a mixture of a). Everything new looks like something else to some extent, and there's a fundamental reason why artists are told (or themselves tell) they're "influenced by" this or that other artist.

If we were to truly strictly enforce copyright nothing would ever get created anymore. So I don't know if copyright itself is right or wrong, but I feel copyright enforcement is truly fucked up these days (and not just in music)

As a beginner composing in my living room I'm truly scared (on top of fear of inadequacy) to push something out there I put my heart and soul into and get sued to oblivion (or at the very least have it destroyed and claimed by some entity that is not even involved in creation)

It was literally conceived as an economic system between socialism and capitalism. I think your interpretation is simply incorrect.

Now you’re putting words in my mouth and appearing dense. I never said it was the _same_ as a laptop. I said it’s used similarly.

I have never once seen someone being “creative” on their iPad in a public setting. If you are correct and that is the use case for the masses we should see it being used as such everywhere. It is not.
"Arguing with the type checker" is definitely a step in the feedback loop of all typed languages, but in my experience with TS you spend a lot more time on this step compared to others.

I have the same workflow as you, using Drambo or AUM, but I do love the idea of being able to "finish" a track on the iPad. Granted the laptop will probably always be more powerful and perhaps a better interface for precision editing, but to be able to do it all on the go on one very portable device would be pretty cool IMO.
In the North American context, "maternity care" would probably be understood as midwifery, which is not Planned Parenthood's main vocation.

That said, you're correct that Planned Parenthood offers many more services than just abortion, but the category they'd be in is "sexual and reproductive healthcare," not "maternity care."

Many advocates are pushing for "abortion forward" language to de-stigmatize the procedure, and (at least in Canada) some clinics are opting for less euphemistic names.[0]

From the article, it reads to me that this was easy to detect because both forms of automation were used together.

Boomy is a company that lets users easily create AI generated music. Boomy registered with Spotify as a music label. Boomy users can release their songs on Spotify and get an 80% cut of the ad revenue that Spotify pays to Boomy. Spotify knows Boomy's business model and didn't take action when they were just letting people create and release AI generated music under their own names.

It looks like a bunch of Boomy users were publishing to Spotify, then creating a bunch of free ad-based accounts to automatically listen to their own tracks 24/7 and get their cut of the ad revenue. I did some casual searching on TikTok and Youtube videos about how to make money with Boomy and Spotify, and there are tons of videos telling you how to do this. It's tricky because Boomy isn't technically responsible for the clickfraud, but they do enable it to such an extent that 7% of their catalog was apparently used in this way.

As developers of professional audio plugins this is very exciting for us. The horsepower is there and the touch interface allows for some really cool possibilities. We already enjoy using AUM and Cubasis, but will be very interested to see if support for pro hardware improves now on iPad.
I think it's an apt analogy.
Google operates in the US, and therefore any data that it holds (in clear) can be subpoenaed. If a judge in, say, Alabama signs a warrant, Google has very little leeway to refuse to hand over evidence that your phone was in that parking lot.
I think Clojure has benefited from matching being kept out of the built-in stdlib. https://github.com/clojure/core.match is a plug-in and as a result we've had lots of cool data traversal/matching DSLs come around and evolved user communities with time such as Meander and Datascript not to mention the parsing applications of the schema systems (spec & malli).
they don't have the option to do anything better, they should be outside socializing and/or exercising for at least half their day if that's what they want to do. but NO, class and indoctrination is more important.

The US military protects the US; if the US dropped the dollar for any other currency, be that bitcoins or the Euro or gold or antimatter, the military in particular would still have to burn exactly as much energy.

Conversely, bitcoin and other similar cryptocurrencies, whichever collective burns more than half of all computational resources, gets to wage economic war on anyone else.

By extension this also includes them getting the ability to undo transactions they don't like, which is actually a genuinely useful thing, despite being used as totemic example by pro-crypto people against fiat currencies.

But there is no upper bound to this connected to any underlying asset, so a K2 Dyson swarm does exactly the same number of BTC transactions as the current network, and that number isn't enough for even just the daily fast food purchases in Berlin.

Conversely, the US military cost is basically "how much do we want to spend to defend our country and way of life?" to which the answer is "lots, but not too much".

Yeah, it's not 1998 anymore. Taking away Snake is not the same as taking away a student's entire social network. It's a hard problem, certainly, and we need to find solutions for it. But the situation has changed and the old solutions aren't acceptable anymore.
This is true, but the same argument could be made for "magic" crystals and homeopathy. People wanted an "easy" cure and some companies got rich meeting that need. Similar to homeopathy, to me the overly simplified and locked down computing experiences point to a regulatory failure - but admittedly the harms are much harder to pin down. At a minimum something like "right to repair" or a "right to open digital locks" on your own devices would be nice.

just at face value though, the inefficiency of thermal transfer would make a sufficient buffer to prevent the freezer from taking too much load from the volume of water.

25' of copper would not be nearly enough to do the whole job but it would lower the temp some, and over time it would lower the temperature relatively safely ( safe against freezing the lines ) and likely consistently unless the tub is continuously filled with mammals or in sunlight or sunlight-warmed air.
