What are the major features of MIDI 2 over MIDI 1?

Does MIDI 2 have broad vendor buy-in? We all know about Microsoft's history here.

Is MIDI 2 a good thing overall?
Not all funding is creating equal or share the same expectations. Borrowing money from a bank to open a bakery or taking an investment from friends and family to cover the initial startup costs is very different from raising venture capital money. The growth and return on investment expectations are wildly different.
Are they in a union? I know most of the industry is unionized but I've never heard of vfx having its own or being part of one of the others.
I mean, they could be a robot, or a car, or a semi truck, or a boom box…

That’s flexibility.
"Plastic" is not actually a useful or meaningful term. E.g. if scientists made perfect artificial skin that was atom for atom identical to your skin it would be mostly made of plastic.

Not all "plastics" cause harm (at least, not any more than the skin you shed every day).
I don't use any public cloud, so they can scan to their heart's content in their cloud for whatever they want.

As long as they keep their grubby paws off the device we're all good.
I'm totally onboard with not providing new packages for an EOL OS, but trying to memoryhole the old ones is horrific. Imagine if everything deleted itself the day it went EOL.
Almost every country with significant capital controls are ones you likely wouldn't want to voluntarily move to.

If you want to spy on your kids then install software and do it. I don't think normalizing corporations spying on kids is a great idea. Sure they do it, but normalizing it only makes it worse and more acceptable.
Yes, this matches what I heard and saw when hanging around the designers I mentioned.

BTW, quoting from the penultimate panel of that excellent Oatmeal piece (which drives home just how similar are the experiences of designers and programmers):

> You are no longer a web designer. You are now a mouse cursor inside a graphics program which the client can control by speaking, emailing and instant messaging.

This gains a new meaning, or at least becomes an interesting parallel, with LLMs in the picture. Many of us - myself included - already use GPT-4 as, paraphrasing, "a keyboard inside an editor program, which you can control by instant messaging". Ignoring that diffusion models can spit out parts of the design wholesale, someone is bound to eventually hook GPT-4 up to Photoshop or Gimp and get a graphics program you can drive by texting it.

... just remembered, I think someone already did that to Blender, made easy thanks to Blender being able to eat Python code and spit out 3D graphics.

Nobody who gets high off of libertarian laissez-faire idealism and the aphrodisiac of "move fast and break things" should feel they deserve to complain. There is no profit, and there is no one willing or able to take up their mantle. Obvious result is obvious.

Ah thanks! Yes I think that was it.
Detecting disconnections is never an easy problem to solve because you need to account for false positives like dead battery or lack of service. The battery could be dead for an entire night while someone sleeps. But it would only take twenty minutes to remove the MDM profile, exfiltrate company data, and then restore the profile.

A good point. For completeness though, I think that the way many modern embedded devices accept updates (arguably) skirts around the GPLv2 requirements. For instance many devices will only accept signed updates, or will only accept updates from a particular https server. The GPLv3 is much more explicit about these matters.
> And I like how you include the nutrition information!

Or rather attempt to? https://www.reciped.io/ingredients/eggs/ says "water 0g energy 0kJ protein 0g fat 0g" which I find just incredibly suspicious. Chasing their citation and then picking the first result for egg ( https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/747997/n... ) says "water 86.3g protein 10.7g", doesn't list a fat, and the energy is in kcal not kJ but is not zero either way
Cardboard is biodegradable, but not air/water tight. So not useful for most food. You would still need something like plastics.
Birth rate limitation won't work. Even if no more humans are born from today, we still have like 4 billion under the age of 21 that are going to be around for a while and plenty above that age who intend to stick around for many decades.
I've crossed the country from Montréal to British Columbia on wheels three times.

The farmland you're speaking of is still relatively expensive, there isn't much economic activity other than industrial farming (do you have access to several million $ for machinery and land?) in those areas to sustain a life, and it's still frozen 6 months a year. It's also owned by someone and developing it into endless suburban sprawl hurts our already limited food production (which is strategically essential when we consider the geopolitical instability our world is facing). Crown land is for the most part either Tundra, Canadian shield or west coast mountains that is even more difficult to live on than the farm land near the US border.
You can also eliminate the constant in some of the integral formulas by using đx instead of dx. I'm surprised the author does not propose this.

However, some constants will still remain. Most conspicuously, the 2π constant in the very definiton of the Fourier transform. I once took a personal crusade to eliminate all such constants in the elementary Fourier formulas (plancherel-parseval, convolution theorems, commutation with derivatives), and it turns out to be possible by using the Lebesgue measure divided by sqrt(2π) in all the integrals. Thus it may seem that defining đx=dx/sqrt(2π) can be a better choice.
fair points. Hopefully the investigation will nail the actual cause down.

We need flexibility - there's no one size fits all here. Workplaces also need to cater for different needs and be appealing enough to make it worth going there. I've analyzed the results of a study on this last week: https://leadership.garden/back-to-the-office/

Totally agree with you. I've found this very surprising too. (Perhaps I was naive).

Edit: The {at the time of writing} downvotes of your comment kind of further illustrates your point, sadly.
I have a different reading of GP. It’s not that being an adult involves pain, but that growing up almost certainly involves pain; changes, uncertainty, giving up stuff, all of this causes pain.

And I certainly agree that people seem to be afraid of growing up. Last time I met with my friends from college for a trip, I enjoyed the first few days, yet I became unnerved by the idea that they seem frozen in time. And I don’t think I’m being judgmental of they having a good time, because they didn’t seemed to be having a good time. Most of the talks were about them having problems to keep doing the same things as 15 years ago, dealing with the consequence of trying to do the same things and overall misery about the fact that they are not in their 20s anymore. I mean and don’t say that they need to grow up, have kids and “act like adults” but they definitely seemed to just refuse change. If this is what people mean when they talk about the infantilism in current generation, I agree with them and also find it worrisome.
Yup. When I was deep in the VC-fueled startup game, tech press did not want to write about us at all, unless there was also some kind of funding news included, too.. (I interpreted this as the writers knowing their readers... and only stories with funding announcements got the clicks...) So guess what happened? We would raise money, then not talk about it for up to 6 months until we also had some new feature or product to launch.

If people started clicking more on tech stories that didn't have funding announcements, maybe the cycle would change... But it feels like we're in some kind of Prisoner's Dilemma game now. Those stories don't written, so they don't get the clicks, so they don't get written...
Norway is part of the EEA which means that there is free movement of people and capital. Therefore it is impossible for them to prevent people leaving to other EEA countries. Changing the EEAs 4 freedoms is unlikely.
Bugs mean the software's behaviour is outside what was specified, but for security we're allowed to depend on any aspect of the specified behaviour. So, all bugs are security bugs.

Some bugs aren't as important as others, but they're all just bugs.

It says it's GPL. So yes you can use it in a commercial project as long as it is also GPL. Also, any license that restricts commercial use is neither Open Source as defined by the OSI, nor is it Free Software as defined by the FSF.
That's an interesting point. My partner and I went back and forth on pricing before we settled on $.99. That seemed to be the price that these types of narrowly-scoped, casual games go for. It's certainly possible that we got that wrong, as we are not experts at this kind of thing.

I second this for anything you put on the web. I opened the webapp I work on with a screen reader, and it was an incredibly valuable experience. You get to see your site from a different perspective, and various issues stand out like a sore thumb, and I honestly found fixing the accessibility issues extremely satisfying.

The is/ought distinction is merely linguistic. It's true: you can't derive an ought statement from an is statement.

Consider your statement "I ought to like chocolate ice cream". That is an ambiguous claim, which I can try to interpret in one of two possible ways:

1. "I value that I like chocolate ice cream". If you were a rational agent, this would be an infinite regression, of course you like that your utility function is your utility function, and that liking goes on forever. It's interesting that humans, which are not rational, can also have thoughts about not liking that they enjoy certain things.

2. "It is good that I like chocolate ice cream". Good for who/what? there needs to be something that values that you like chocolate ice cream. "My friend values that I like ice cream" is not ambiguous, and firmly in factual territory again. Your friend is the valuer/agent with preferences. People hate the ambiguity and want to say the valuer is the universe or God or something else. But it's just an under-specified statement about whether one agent likes another agents preferences.

Your statement about "we ought to ___", cannot be well defined in all cases, because something could be good for one agent in the group, but bad for another. Any attempt to make a claim "good for the group" is no longer a statement about individual agents and their preferences. It's about something else, if it's coherent at all. Rarely does "good for the group" mean "good for all individuals in the group respectively", which is well defined.
I think I'm a fairly proficient English speaker. I know it should be pronounced sweet but I instinctively default to suit.

Destitute outcast dressed in rags. But he could afford to slather his canvases deep with that pricey oil paint. And don't get me started on storage space. Those paintings take up room.

Maybe he had a trustfund. Maybe he spent 99% on art supplies and 1% on potatoes. I dunno.
I'd love to have the same personal freedom as a billionaire. If a wealth tax is a means to accomplish that, then I'm willing to accept it.
Speaking from nearly total ignorance of Rust, I don't understand why things can't be hidden in a ton of wrappers and interfaces.
You’re assuming I own capital. I don’t.

Maybe you wouldn’t want to move to a country where the working class is in charge, as opposed to your own class. I don’t dispute that.

SWEs need to learn new tools all the time. This shouldn't be a concern. Besides, it's not like "the real world" only use a single tool. Each company has their own tweaks, even those using open source stuff.

Wikipedia calls it Jevons paradox:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
The article quotes the billionaire saying "My capital will continue to work in Norway". What evidence these people are taking their money out of Norwegian bank and depositing it elsewhere? Or is their wealth already offshore anyway and they are just shifting their personal chump change to Switzerland? I'm somewhat suspicious of libertarian neo-cons saying "Don't tax me Bro', it'll just hurt you."

I REALLY miss Phabricator, Scuba and (gasp) Tasks. Would love to have those back in industry. Far better than Github, Superset (?) and of course the dreadful Jira I have to use these days.
How exactly are parents putting the needs of their children over that of the rest of the population? Or are you saying that societies shouldn’t cater to children on any level beyond a minor inconvenience? Do the school buses making you have to stop driving your car bother you that much?

It's a weird feature I doubt anyone used.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201317

It's a service that existed three years before iCloud Photo syncing, being released in 2011 with iCloud in 2014. It's safe to say almost everyone uses iCloud.

It appears that it let you "stream" your photos to other devices without having to plug them in, but photos were only saved for 30 days if you didn't save them to local storage from the stream. So it wasn't really a storage product as much as a weird, convenient? way to move photos from an iPad to a Mac, for example.
You could also see it as reducing the amount of entities you have to trust. If everything is with Proton you only have to worry about their trustworthiness.
But but but everyone told me the whole "being unable to see a stopped vehicle" problem was because of radar! Tesla doesn't use radar anymore so why did it happen?

Meanwhile my VW with radar has no problem initiating emergency braking for a stopped object.

The Gambler Who Cracked the Horse-Racing Code (2018)
Don’t be sorry, I was already laughing at your “it’s obvious you’ve never worked on this issue” comment far before this, because I’m still not convinced you’re any more knowledgeable in this field.

I’m well aware people get upset when companies outside of their culture don’t follow said culture to a tee. However, we are talking of a US company censoring US presidential candidates in a way directly contradictory to the laws they abide by. This is local ideals being applied to a local business, so excuse me if I’m a little less than sympathetic to the plight of Google dealing with an “enraged” foreign user base when they can’t even please a local one.

Additionally, if your account is supposedly no longer active, due to an anti-censorship protest, why are you replying? And in a way that tries to sideline the problem of mass censorship by moving the problem to “but the people complain otherwise, they want this”?
> SpaceX is a large business with plenty of people who know better

Including the President and COO of SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell, an extremely qualified aerospace engineer who has run SpaceX for the past 15 years. She's been in the space industry since 1988, she knows what she's doing.

> you are in a low cost of living area (at least relative to your income) and have a big house?

Orthogonal to WFH conversation, are there even low COL areas left in the US that aren't complete and total sh*tholes?

In my state, houses that were selling for $150-200k pre-Covid in low COL areas are now going for 350-400k, and that's not even anywhere near urban centers, it's about 50-70 miles out in more rural areas.

UUIDv7 has been taking HN by storm for years now! When is it going to become a proper standard, and when are libraries and databases and all the rest going to natively support it?
Agreed, the amount of hatred and us vs them mentality between groups that is forming online is really saddening. Different groups have their preferred target- "immigrants," "boomers," "billionaires," etc. to justify dehumanizing people, and blaming them for things based on some arbitrary category, rather than judging people by their own actions, and having empathy for people even if they did something you don't like.

Rush was arrogant, and made some big mistakes, but I don't wish death on him or his passengers. I do hope this example will serve as a warning for engineers in the future to be less arrogant, and more safety conscious.

What exactly wealth they create and for whom? They're guilty of hyper-centralizing all services, assets, and resources. Your yacht will not fit in Lugano Lake, Mr. Viking. Try Marbella or Malaga, the places for Scandinavian success people.
Computers are the modern equivalent of "my papers" for historical reasons. British cops can't come in and rifle through your papers at home without a warrant, there is simply no reason they should be able to come in and rifle through your phone, computer, or anything else without a warrant. Are MPs completely daft? Do they all look to Xi and Putin as examples of "the way things should be" ?
Great idea! This is going to be so useful, and probably way better than Google alerts.
>Tesla on Autopilot is routinely fractions of seconds away from a crash should it malfunction.

Which is exactly why the "you should be paying attention and ready to take over" argument is horse shit. You physically CANNOT. The car will give no warning it's getting itself into a dangerous situation and then just give up.

The car lets jesus take the wheel, but seriously.

e^pi + 1 = 0, of course
The way I've heard those distinguished in spoken math is x + b^2 is said "x plus b squared" and (x + b)^2 is said "x plus b all squared. There's a similar approach for divide "x plus b over 8" vs "x plus b all over 8". That was often enough but if it wasn't you'd be reduced to pronouncing brackets.
Grease’s songs are not innocent, only Sandy’s songs are, the men’s songs all about what teenage boys want out of teenage girls. Some of the lyrics are even cringeworthy now.

From what I've heard on Darknet Diaries "wire fraud" and "mail fraud" seem to come up a lot in charges. "mail fraud" can be as little as putting something you're not allowed to mail into the mailbox or using a bogus return address. Pretending to not be yourself online can be "wire fraud" or accessing a computer or website you're not authorized to access (even if the website has trash security).
And yet, Rust is being taken seriously in many places where those languages have been unable to displace C. I wonder if it hadn't taken 15 years for a FOSS Ada compiler to become available, maybe it would have taken off.
Even though I don't really use it, this really frustrates me.

Apple is moving iCloud further into macOS and making the Mac more akin to an Apple Chromebook with every release. Time Machine gets little to no love, and users are getting steered ever more strongly towards backing up data onto iCloud.

Even buying an Apple device isn't really buying a device anymore. You're really buying a transferable lease for 6-7 years on a device that has a hard stop to go to landfill after that time due to software obsolescence by way of unpatched vulnerabilities.

I don't actually dislike Chromebooks at all, but this is saddening when you've bought a computer to use it as a computer and any sense of ownership or agency is quietly clawed away.
I honestly haven't seen much of that on HN at all.

There's really three things that make this a hugely curious story. One is that it's relatively unique. The same way that car crashes don't make the news but plane crashes do - effectively, this is to plane crashes, as plane crashes are to car crashes.

Next, it's frankly interesting from an engineering point of view. Especially as it doesn't need to be your wheelhouse to understand the enormity of 2.7 tons per square inch. It's On with an 'n' that's obviously enormous.

And thirdly, the fact that the CEO appears to have ignored the experts and YOLO'd it, is hugely vindicating to anyone who considers them an expert in their niche. That's the closest this gets to schadenfreude for me.

The only thing really interesting about the people inside, is that it removed said CEO from the story so he can't answer for himself.
I guess they must have pretty good data indicating that photo stream doesn't add any value. Yes, it is just another view on an existing data set, but if people used it I'm sure they wouldn't get rid of it. I can't imagine it's that expensive to run, unless the storage used for it falls outside of the icloud storage that they charge for.
The monitor mounts screwed directly into the hull seem a likely starting point for the failure.
