You also have to specifically like the organ. I grew up with an electric one in my home (two ranks and a pedal board) but spent all my time on the piano instead.

Kinda wish I had given it a better chance now. They are cool instruments and the experience would have been good as I have since fallen into synths, which play similarly.
The Launch of PyPI Malware Reporting and Response Project
The protest was cleared out physically with some ruckus, with around 200 people arrested in the final weekend after the emergency orders.

The degree to which the protest was actually some coordinated plot of a small group vs. distributed manifestation of many different and not so organized groups is undetermined, as far as I know? So I'm not sure how much locking down the bank accounts of a couple dozen major players was actually responsible for clearing them out, as opposed to the police arresting those who were still there and towing their vehicles.
Corn is not for humans, as it is a cultivated type of grass, like all (pseudo-)grains.

Fruit, tender green leaves and bugs are our food; by the following reasons:

* they existed before humans developed (not a plant cultivated by humans)

* we can gather them without the use of tools (all animals can find their food without needing technology)

* we can digest it without technology (yes cooking grains is using technology)

* they taste and look great in natural form (ever saw a runover bird: did it look attractive? no? then its not your food)

Just some food (lol) for thought
And I bet in ~50% of situations they'll turn into $3500 eye masks.
Macron's minister of the interior, Gérald Darmanin, described Le Pen as "too soft".
France is not a bi-party system, Macron is not progressive.
Given his past and present moves ( not what he says publicly ), calling him an "empty soul" are pretty kind words.

Also, the playing dumb card and the "I'm just a tech bro full of innocent dreams" story has already been done to death by the bros from the previous cycle ( think Zuckerberg and his peers ).

It's a scumbag move that most of his peers actually do too and it should at least be publicized and called out.
You can improve all of these. Why aren’t you?

e.g instead of complaining about outdated runbooks, you can just update them.
Ok...Would love to know more about what is out there. The problem with current alerting solutions like PagerDuty, they are every extensive in terms of what they offer (scheduling, reliability, etc) but not quite tailored towards needs of on-call engineer to easily tag something or for management to get a view which alerts/incidents need attention.

Even xMatter which my wife's team use but never login as it crashes frequently and prefer to debug through logs :P
To be fair. This is the first recorded use of the word inter-net.

I've experienced the Ballmer Peak most often when gaming. I'm a good player most of the time in most games, but if I hit just the right amount of intoxication I reach a whole other level. It's like being in a flow state for head shots. I'm guessing the mechanism is tamping down on anxiety and second guessing which happens. Since I've played these sorts of games for the last 20+ years, the reflexes take over and I'm thinking a lot less. The drop off post-peak is steep though.
A bit off topic, but if you are into this kind of literature i can really recomend Sigmund Freud.

"Die Traumdeutung" (Interpretation of dreams) is one of the best books I've read. Its really philosophical masterpiece. I mean the ~500 site book, not the small one.
Ironically, it was exactly the worst teams that mouthed the nonsense and claptrap behind Agile, the Cult™.

The teams that were agile didn't do any of that crap, never mind mouth it. We were busy getting stuff done.

In fact, in one instance we had two of these teams right next to each other. The one that did all the claptrap of The Agile Cult™ right, the standups and whathaveyounot, and got cancelled, because they couldn't deliver (the software was still needed so the effort was rebooted).

The other did no standups, no biweekly sprints, no retrospectives, no planning game, no story points, no epics or whatever. But we did do the technical practices such as TDD, YAGNI, DTSTTCPW etc. And we accomplished something that people, including many on the team, did not consider possible. And with a team that of people that were mostly not considered very good.

And one of the best teams actually predated the Agile Manifesto by quite a number of years, and even XP was only publicised afterwards. When XP came out, there was a lot of recognition, a lot of what we were doing was XP. And there were definitely things we were doing differently, because our situations were not the same.
Akrasia is like anxiety. It's not that I don't have it. It's just that I would debug quickly (and after some time it happens somewhat automatically). So 80% of time I indeed won't do the task that's been waiting for long. But I'm not anxious about it. I just realize that this isn't what I want to do right now.

When you look at akrasia, the problem is not that you are not doing something. It's this painful cognitive dissonance. Unresolved conflict in your narration. Both doing the thing is fine and not doing it is fine. But suffering by doing it while telling your self you don't want to do it or not doing it while telling yourself that you do is completely avoidable.

And yeah, I agree about different experiences. Which makes communication funny - same words but two very different contexts and interpreters. Which is why I'm so verbose about the thing I was describing.
I think it's not that people want a forum and choose Discord to host it.

Instead it's that people have a Discord for hosting community discussion (like one would have an irc), and they add channels like "q&a" or "show and tell". These channels are much more topic based than normal channels, and topics collide or get lost in the noise.

I do think public indexability is a big problem. I've seen a couple api based bridges that have surface, which are great. Discord's change to how names work smells strongly of a move to being more aligned to a social network, so perhaps they're already working towards doing this properly. It's a natural evolution from chat to forum channels to public indexed forums, but not one that was immediately obvious when discord started as a game with your friends product.

Now that I'm typing this out, I just realized that "subreddit" style channels in discord make a lot of sense, where you can get an aggregated view across all of the "subreddits" in the servers you're in.
> This is completely beyond anything I was capable of at 6.

I let my 4 year old play a competitive FPS that I also play, and that is mostly played by adults. He loves it. The game sometimes has in-game 1v1 events, and I cannot describe how proud I am when he wins 1v1s vs. adults. He can't even read yet.
These US universities are systematically racist in their admission practices. The university administration openly admit this too. What I mean is the racism accusation is a total charade as long as the majority of those purporting to call attention to the problem in one place are actually in support in another. None of the authors have protested the systematic racism in the institution they work for. None of them have resigned in protest to support all the Asian students that are discriminated against. They're completely silent on the issue. The study you linked has nothing to do with Stanford's discrimination against students either.

I'm not American but if I understand it correctly their supreme court might soon force the universities to end racial discrimination. Which will also mean that it's sadly unlikely the majority of students and staff will ever come to their own conclusion about how and why racism is categorically wrong. They really should know better.

For years there was a viewpoint commonly expressed that the prohibition on drugs was more harmful than the drugs themselves and that might have been true.

Since the post-2000 opioid epidemic and the proliferation of Fentanyl it seems the danger has increased. In Ithaca we are seeing people go to the needle exchange, shoot up right there, and then drop down with an overdose a block or two away on a regular basis. Fortunately there is a lot of narcan and people who know how to use it in that area.

It's scary.

I think we're also going to see concern increasing about behavioral addiction, particularly with gambling. Other parts of the anglosphere were quicker to make sports betting ubiquitous and there is a movement to curtail or eliminate the advertising thereof because it rapidly progresses to seeing nothing but gambling ads for the whole break.
You're getting downvoted, but I think low text density contributes to the low quality of conversation. I've commonly witnessed conversations that were going around in circles, with people just tuning in and re-asking questions that were already asked and answered in the same conversation two or three page scrolls up.

If it's not on the bottom screenful of text in a channel it might as well not exist on Discord. Which is funny, because one thing that people really like to bring up when comparing IRC to Discord is its lack of persistent history. It turns it doesn't make much practical difference.
> VR glasses have not yet gained mainstream acceptance among the general population in the way that phones had achieved before the iPhone.

The same could be said about the iPad and Apple Watch, no? Tablets and smart watches weren't popular before their introduction. With that said, I don't think the skepticism is unwarranted. Just because Apple has been successful in introducing new product categories in the past doesn't inherently mean that they will be this time.

Of course they should do this. It has worked well for Microsoft.

But that's bad news. Schools ought to avoid trapping themselves and their students into closed solutions, and teach use open source products instead, like penpot [1].

It might be a sign that Figma is afread of alternative solutions by the way.

Immersive movies are gimmicky. When you add all of the things that make it an enjoyable experience it just becomes a video game. If you don’t then it’s just a theme park ride where you’re sitting in a cart being wheeled around while things happen around you.

Movies in VR are enjoyable when the effort is put into the theatre experience surrounding the movie and the social experience of watching a movie with other people sitting next to you.

Because their hit ratio is still positive? I mean, the iPod Hifi was a dud, so I know Apple isn't perfect.

But even taking your point about no one has figured it out yet, why go to a place of "it's gonna suck" before actually trying the thing? The specifics aren't known yet by anyone not under NDA, so why speculate something will be bad, as the author did?

Yes, why not?

You don't have to understand all of it but if you can't be bothered to get the gist of this maybe computers aren't for you?

Show HN: Godspeed, a fast, 100% keyboard oriented todo manager
Hi everybody, today I'm launching a public beta for an app I've spent the last year working on: Godspeed, a todo manager for the Mac.

My goal with Godspeed was to make every single action doable with just your keyboard, and to have those actions respond instantly. Like Superhuman for your todo list.

(I'm so serious about keyboard accessibility that I built "hardcore mode", an option that completely disables the mouse to help break the habit of reaching for it.)

I built Godspeed for myself and have been using it daily for about six months now. Before that I used org-mode in Emacs (hence the keyboard obsession) and OmniFocus. I loved how keyboard oriented org-mode was, but it didn't play well with non-text-based things like attachments. And it was slow. OmniFocus had much better native and cross-platform support, but had poor hotkey support. And it was slow.

So Godspeed is my answer to the weak points of both.

A few of my friends have started using it in the past couple months and their feedback has been incredibly valuable. So I've decided to open up access to more folks for a public beta. Access is free during the beta, but if all goes well I do eventually intend to offer subscription and one-time purchase options.

Thanks for checking it out, I'd appreciate any feedback you have!

> There is a long queue of people lining up to criticise him, but nobody has successfully cobbled together an alternative to the FSF.

This isn't true. I have actually seen several non-FSF/OSI attempts at licenses in the recent past, most notably License Zero with its Prosperity and Parity licenses, as well as alternative licenses like the Server Side Public License and Business Source License.

The trouble is that attempting to learn from the lessons of past licenses tends to draw a lot of dogmatic outrage because said licenses either don't conform to the open source definition or four freedoms - or at least, not in the opinion of the OSI or FSF.

If developers are unwilling to think outside those boxes en masse, then we are in effect "stuck" with the existing power structures. And that power structure is what led to things like the wide preference of permissive licenses and promoting and prioritizing the GPLv3 over the AGPLv3.

"Healthcare" to a teen on the fence might mean EXACTLY looking for an agency that can help them deliver and give the baby up for adoption.

Are you arguing that clinics don't provide services that help women deliver babies or guide them through adoption? That's ridiculous. My two children are proof that doctors aren't going around fighting against women giving birth.

Your feeling represents one extreme, which is that hindsight proved Apple was right and critics were wrong, and that history will repeat.

The other extreme is expecting history to repeat by demonstrating that people have consistently over estimated the probability of success in the VR space.

I don't know which is right, but my gut says that VR is not something that will go mainstream in its current form (HMD). It's too 'bluetooth earpiece', and doesn't match the prestige image that is particularly strong in people that favor Apple products. Notice that I am not criticizing anything technical with AVR, which I think is a peripheral issue.
I think number 3 and 4 are bad advices.

Here is my reasoning:

3) Selling to businesses can be tough because you can't automate all tasks. For a one-person business, the key is to automate as much as possible.

4) Small businesses shouldn't worry about competition. In fact, big markets are great for small businesses because they offer a vast range of customer needs. Not everyone wants the same set of features in a product. So, you can create a version of an existing product, but with fewer features. You can even advertise it as being simpler. Alternatively, you could tailor your product to suit specific uses better.

I’m not sure about 1) - scaling is easy for certain type of apps and services. It really depends.
What about tackling a large-ish market but competing on price? As a small bootstrapped business, depending on the cost of the product, you just don't have too many costs.

Small companies/single founders have much smaller overhead: there's no 50 person costly dev team on your payroll. So you get to offer a subset of the main competitor's product at a much lower price and still have high margin.

It's something I've thought of: many companies I've worked for over the years bought expensive products that weren't necessarily too complicated or crucial, just did things we didn't want to do divert resources to do in-house.

Yet the costs ballooned (usually $ per/user) and we kept those subscriptions for a while up until we figured a cheaper alternative. If the costs had not increased so much there'd be nothing to move off of, we'd have been happy forking over money.
"To cancel Prime, consumers had to... locate the "manage membership" page and press a button labeled "End Membership"... then move through multiple steps."

the horror! pressing an "end membership button"? moving through multiple steps??

i've cancelled a prime membership before. it's not that bad. why are we making consumer protection into a joke with this nonsense. feels like FTC is looking for any chance to go after a bigcorp that plays well in news headlines.
One thing that I’ve not seen any traditional forum software do particularly well is search. For some reason, forum search sucks to the point that if the forum is visible when logged out you’re better off doing a “<query> site:forums.foobar.baz” search with Google.

Your average user doesn’t know about that type of Google search though, and so I suspect that many people find it more difficult to surface information with traditional forums than they do with Discord (where at worst, they can ask a question and get a near-immediate answer).
National security is used like a cheat code to terminate dissenting thoughts.

IRC was way better (and you had your choice of client) for programming communities.

Discord excels in combining the call/video/screenshare/slack-ish/game experience all in one.

I think your numbers are off. That's quite heavy.
I also like UUIDv8. It's broadly similar to v7 but the vendor is free to define how the timestamps are represented, how many bits to split between timestamps/randomness, define own packing, etc.

So we've started making UUIDs that encode the current ISO8601 date+time in a human-readable format:

YYYYMMDD-HHMM-VRRR-RRRR-RRRRRRRRR

This is especially useful for things you have few of (no more than a couple per minute), that you regularly need to cross-reference with other systems (e.g. files on S3).
I think of this more as a consultant-type arrangement.

You are not an "employee" because you can at-will change your asking price, take on other jobs, flex your hours, and work from wherever you like.

An employee has none of those, while consultants have a bit more of those, and a B2B business probably has the most.
Based on what they have said in interviews, I have a feeling that is exactly what they are doing.

My guess is that they combine a number of signals to do the tracking, and when those signals start to disagree too much they've prioritized some signals over others. That could include things like how your eyes are tracking and other physiological signals, not just the accelerometer and various cameras.

Ha! I didn't actually do that pun on purpose. Does work, though.

With a controller, though, you don't have to lose contact with the buttons for activation. Even with a keyboard, where you do lose contact, you feel for the activation of the buttons to do so.

More immediately, though, you also have more fingers for rapid fire activation. Some silly math, but if you type upwards of 70wpm, that puts you at about 400 button presses per minute. Not sure how easily that would translate to gestures, as far as speed is concerned.
I don't agree at all with the fact that productivity is that far ahead on svelte - much of the react productivity lift is with the extensive support from other libraries and platforms.

The point about it being more efficient in terms of performance certainly rings true but to claim that it's 2x as productive (twice as fast to get something out in svelte) than react, to the extent you've graphed it in the introduction, is a fabrication. I've seen 2 year old actively-developed svelte projects with so much shimming baked in to support common components that the dev teams essentially have their own toolkits just to work with it. That is not what I would consider 2x as productive. It is an age-old paradigm of "less features = quicker" that at some level of required complexity does invert.

It's not a static "this is universally faster" equation.
I listened to 40 hours of Moby Dick on a series of long road trips and couldn't wait to start each one, just me and Melville for a few hours every day.

On a business level, Critical Chain (Goldratt) and the Phoenix Project (Kim, Spafford, Behr) were necessary eye-openers once I got into top management.
The bad user experience calling these call centers is a cost saving measure. Yes a large percentage will suffer your customer service lines, but it's all about that small percentage that gives up. Huge cost savings.

You can sew this exact same scenario play out by interacting with the "safety net". Long arduous processes meant to weed out some small percentage of callers/applicants.
