Ah, I finally found what you're talking about. This thing has multiple elements called Properties. There is a Properties tab above the left pane. When a measure is selected, a Measure item appears there: a trash button to delete selected measures and a button to insert measures.

You're talking about a right click context menu which has a Measure Properties command. That indeed opens behind the main window. (Is this using GTK+? I regularly see this issue in GTK+ programs on Windows like GIMP; it's been there for at least 15 years.)

I see that I can set the actual time of a measure to, say 1/4 which creates a one beat pickup measure if it's the first measure.
I did!

But... the async code seems to cause a lot of dead connections, which seem to prevent any new ones.
ISP's are already a disaster for consumers, with their totally deceptive pricing and invented fees.

Any new entrant can only increase competition and drive down prices.

Amazon as an ISP would be amazing for me. There's only one ISP that serves my neighborhood already, so any additional one would be a godsend.

If it's between no new ISP and a new Amazon ISP, I'll take Amazon any day of the week.
You’re deliberately ignoring my point and then throwing in an ad hominem for good measure. It has nothing to do with free or non free.

I ran a Java enterprise company for twenty years. I looked at AOT on multiple occasions, starting with gcj 20 years ago, and most recently, GraalVM. There were plenty of commercial compilers in between.

If there had been a non free AOT compiler that didn’t come with a bunch of compatibility and licensing complexities we would certainly have considered it. Just like we bought non free IDEs.

But such a tool didn’t exist. The cost in missing features and added complexity was always much greater than the sticker price.

Java AOT is an afterthought, it is not at all comparable with Go AOT, which is a core feature of Go, expressed for example in the Go team’s explicitly designing the language itself to support fast compilation.

There are plenty of conversations to be had where we can compare the two languages, Go will not always win those discussions, but one of the inarguable features of Go is that it is AOT from the ground up, and that is a feature that’s really valuable to me.
currently using a bunch of helper files for this... but this does sound like the sensible next step!

> The hardest part about entering the fediverse is joining an instance [of Mastodon].

In the fediverse, organizations shouldn't have to homestead on someone else's Mastodon instance. But unfortunately, self-hosting Mastodon at anything more than "toy" scale is incredibly onerous.

On the bright side, a vendor recently posted about their proprietary Mastodon clone operating at 100 the efficiency of Mastodon, so happily this doesn't appear to be an intrinsic problem with ActivityPub. Let's hope there are better open-source solutions soon.

> So why make the effort? Because the fediverse, like open source, is a movement.

Statements like this make me very sad about the probable future of the fediverse. Nobody cares about "movements" other than zealots. In order to succeed, federated services must be better and at least as convenient as centralized alternatives.
SSRIs are popular because they are effective and safer than older antidepressants. And what depression interventions are incompatible with SSRIs but other drugs not understood completely also?

What should SSRIs be called if the SSRI part is how they work indirectly? What would you call them now? And SNRIs? And MAOIs?
This cannot be the "the first time such rock-and-roll acoustic engineering has been employed in a church" if it is referring to digital delays. The other weekend I visited a gospel church which used maybe ten dbx DriveRacks, along with the finest mixing console I have ever seen in a house of worship, a top-line analog Soundcraft. The use of a horizontal line array sounds unique to me! James B. Lansing of JBL did a lot of this work long before DSPs became economical, using huge, carefully-engineered tractrix horns. A brilliant and tragically-ended life who contributed enormously to loudspeaker engineering.

Banning lobbying is banning free speech. Anyone should be able to lobby the government.
Sorry, but I don't understand your question.
Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T, etc should not exist. They are rent-seekers.

The people in the US who have the best Internet access are those where the service is provided by municipal broadband (eg [1]). You will never fix these big national ISPs because they exist solely to maximize shareholder profit while providing the least service possible at the highest price they can get away with while lobbying to change laws to benefit them and lock in their monopolies (eg to make municipal broadband illegal).

As an aside, these national ISPs exemplify capitalism. Municipal broadband, by definition, follows socialistic principles (where the municipality and, by extension, its residents own the means of production).

Are you going to admonish the parent for contravening the flamebait and "ideological battle" guidelines? Treat the cause not the symptom!
It seems counter intuitive but direct customer facing roles that actually involve solving customer problems- not programming problems- can be very beneficial for personal learning and growth and for a technical person's development in a business. When the business is in a growth space and can bring new customers on board, where it is possible within the context of the business to actually solve customer problems that one is directly interfacing with- sometimes with programming/feature engineering, sometimes with other approaches- and where the environment and culture are at least not negative, and are supportive of creative problem solving and customer-oriented solutions- this can be an opportunity. All successful startups always have technical people interfacing with customers at some stage in their growth- though of course failed startups do as well. The need for specialists comes later.

You'll have to make your own mind up about whether the environment is conducive to learning and growth even if it wasn't what you were expecting but the simple fact that you are customer facing is not in itself a problem.

Judging from the table of contents, he probably could have dropped the "probabilistic" from the title and just called it "machine learning".
"Communism" is a loaded term which means different things to different people, but if you mean the word as Soviet Marxism or Marxism-Leninism then it is an orthodoxy of political and economic thought with some very specific precepts, some of which do not really emphasise democracy.

This guy is crazy to write an opinion article without examples (only the opinions) and without expertise or understanding of the history, the current solutions, and their differences.

React is bad is youre bad. Its much more fundamental than other frameworks. It also paradigms shifts from imperative to (more) functional. So if you are not comfortable with closures and side effects (like the author), you will get lost.

None of the pattern from any framework is new. Theres only so many ways to design systems, you either use callbacks, observers, or events. All have their pros and cons (where imo observers and events are inferior due to their quick branching factor in larger codebases). React gives the option to use any of these.
It's very likely there will be some customers not running HANA shops.

But anyways, whomever buys them, it probably has a small overlap with the average HN reader. So it's meant as an illustrative example in a familiar context.

EDIT: Then again it's possible someone might buy it for personal use, e.g. if someone has multiple terabytes of spreadsheets that they need to work on simultaneously.
how is the transition from aurelia 1 to 2?

my app has actually very little aurelia specific code so i expect this should not be to hard. if only i can find an aurelia 2 equivalent of this version that works without any build system: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36971080
For anyone else who was puzzled at this result (rather than 1/3): The above algorithm is finding something with the relative error of at most .005 times the input value 0.33. 1/3 is the best value for the absolute error of at most .005.
As added context for other folks considering whether or not to apply, in my case Rachel replied back adding: "I think we're looking for folks with more small team experience, specifically evidence of loving & thriving in a fast-paced startup with ambiguous problem solving challenges and lots of ownership."

I'm not entirely sure what that means (I applied with startup experience at a ~100 headcount company), but it might indicate preference is for folks coming from a sub-100 headcount stage of startups.
Why do you think Perl is abstraction-heavy?
Yes, those sites are all downweighted. Whether they count as "major media" or not, they're classified the same way by HN's software, for more or less the same reason: they produce a lot of derivative and/or sensational and/or otherwise not-great-for-HN content, and they also produce substantive articles that are good for HN.
some comments here, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32630740
Wasn't Musk's Twitter caught blacklisting comments regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine? Sounds awfully hypocritical to defend the right to post unfiltered Russian propaganda while at the same time blacklist comments from Russia's invasion and ongoing genocide of the ukranian people.

Let's not continue this cargo cult mumbo jumbo.

Terraform is literally a program that looks at a declarative configuration file, looks at a state file, queries some APIs, and then submits some API calls. That is all it does.

There is no "infrastructure", or "config", or "cloud". It's literally just calling HTTPS APIs, the same way it would call a system call or a library function. Call function, pass input, receive output.

There is no magic sauce. There is no difference between it and any other tool that has a declarative configuration, a state, and operations to try to change things to match a desired state.

It's all configuration management. The words "infra", "orchestration", "cloud", etc is marketing bullshit. It's all just software.
I have to admit my negativity, sorry. I feel tired.

It's a good opportunity, of course, but it will absolutely be necessary to succeed in changing the balance of power.

I appreciate the logic of personal progression regardless of the outcome for the company. Have you experienced this?
Hey HN!

We are exited to Introduce Arclite Pro: the next-generation archiver for macOS.

With Arclite Pro you can effortlessly explore archive contents without the need for extraction, enabling a convenient overview of stored files and structure. Quickly preview files using Quick Look, share them directly from the archive, or drag and drop them wherever you desire.

Search for specific files directly within the archive or delve deeper into the contents by exploring the inner folders. Share files directly from the archive, simplifying the sharing process by avoiding the necessity to first extract the files.

With just a few clicks, you can effortlessly create a new archive. All it takes is a quick drag-and-drop of your files and a hassle-free organization into folders, all conveniently managed within a new window.

Add files or simply drag and drop them into existing archives, create new folders, and directly organize files within the archive. Easily delete, rename, and move files within the archive, simplifying the way you manage your content and keep things organized.

We still have a long roadmap ahead of us towards the goal of making Arclite Pro the Finder for archives, and we would love to hear your feedback!
Can’t find any information on this anywhere else.

Huh, thats the one I ended up grabbing on a whim for my parents from officemax when their old one kept giving them problems. They have not complained to me about it since, in comparison to the previous 3 printers we tried.
I read their post and honestly it’s not really that much different than just materialized views in a regular database plus async jobs to do the long running tasks.

It’s a ridiculous amount of fluff to describe that. Not to mention it’s proprietary and only supports the JVM and doesn’t integrate with the tons of tooling designed about RDBMS unless you stream everything to them, defeating the purpose.

What really irks me is that they go on and on bragging about the low LoC count and literally show nothing complete. They should’ve held on this post and released it simultaneously with the code.

When you're a startup and Microsoft has a 49% multi-billion dollar investment in you, they have operational say. I understand what you mean, but in reality their opinion and continued approval will have a lot of weight, even for OpenAI.
As a user and collaborator of TACOS, agreed that it could open up opportunities. Though I echo trade-offs (as in other replies) that it could start a civil war that makes it difficult for end users and collaborators -- reminds me of Python2 -> 3, Presto/Trino, and many other stories. Pledging resources is a great approach.
I could not scan on a free, used, MFP in the 1990's because it needed ink. Buying ink seemed dumb because the print heads were ruined, and they cost more than a new printer.

I am glad to see this news story. It means the pendulum is swinging back towards stopping predatory marketing practices.
Probably because many wealthy people pride themselves in not printing anything themselves, so the problem stops being noticed
And that cost is so high that over the ~25Y+* that I have been running my own sites I have not had UGC on any of them, other then a very brief experiment, which showed me what utter relentless turds the bad actors can be.

Operators of public sites should NOT have to pay that tax. So you are best are not fully aware of the actual cost, IMHO.

Congrats to HN for striking a reasonable pragmatic balance.

> Why are monopolies suddenly people?

Who else besides people would control a monopoly?
Giving away most of your product for free and selling commercial services on top when it's very easy to compete with you on that front is.... well it's not a sustainable business model.

It would be troublesome if any of the vendors at $work past or present went bankrupt, this is the nature of having external vendors. I am not particularly concerned.

I was not the biggest fan of Terraform in the first place, I don't like some of the language choices, but it works better than anything else that exists out there.
Depending on how it is aimed... straight in that would be messy.
Rubin is good at schmoozing with big name athletes and power players in the sports world. If you can do that long enough to get some exclusivity agreements, then you're golden because no one else can make the "official" merchandise of NBA or whatever
Yeah, every car other than the Camaro I've owned has had a donut spare tire. I forgot to address that my original comment.

The challenge with a donut on my car is trying to fit over/around the brake calipers associated hardware.

I've been lucky so far: in the 13 years I've own the car, I've had only one slow leak due to a nail. I haven't needed a spare yet.
I would rather make the trek to my local FedEx to do my twice-yearly printing and pay exorbitant prices per page than have a ticking time-bomb take up space in my house.

Ok I'll be the odd person out and say this is actually sort of reasonable. I only know this because I've worked on large batch billing systems before. (Yes on a mainframe too. Gen-Z check your iWatch for a pulse).

In the US, nearly any given city, un-incorporated area, county, region, state, can assess a tax for services. These things are like fleas. They're hard to track down and full compliance is nearly impossible, and the if-ands-butts when they apply and when they come-go is an added challenge, especially if they apply like to persons visiting the area.

I'm guessing whats happening is most counties are like "our population is X" and you can estimate the tax billed owed on that, and that's good enough for government work. Customizing a billing system to individualize and print the $0.04 is an enormous expense for literally no benefit to the consumer.

Again, just a guess.

Now ISPs, many of them being entrenched monopolies, obviously hide behind their finances to rip consumers off. I'm not advocating for that. The real problem is a lot of these municipalities _invited_ the Comcasts of the world in at steep discounts, and now are crying that there is no competition (Because nobody else can compete profitably). That is another issue, but I don't think printing an extra $0.04 on your bill is going to make a lick of difference.

I would agree with what you said but there's no way of explaining how things are done or having better training on how to handle certain issues
I’m working on building a home and have been investigating this seriously. I want to put multiple POE outlets in every room, and running them to places that are common for automation (eg for cameras, motion sensors, control displays, etc). I wish I could get wired sensors for doors/windows but the pricing is honestly way higher than just Zigbee with a battery once for factor in wires in the walls and a centralized patch panel.

I never thought about converting POE to USBC-PD but that would be a great thing to add to the “office” and locations where someone may very occasionally want power for a laptop (eg near couch, beds)

I’m exclusively using “normal” 120v outlets that also have a 5v usb port on it, and placing extra where I can, which is less crazy but still practical.
Why should they welcome you in the house they use to LIVE in? As opposed a house they use to make money out of, without contributing anything to society, like landlords do?
It seems like HP have been using 'Envy' as a way to denote their mid-high end products. Never knew they used it with printers though, that does seem kinda odd. Who brags about having a high end printer?
Brother laserprinters only here: two at my wife's SME, one here at our home here, one at our vacation place but... As someone already commented they've also started playing nasty.

It's still probably going to take a few years before they reach HP level of suckage but apparently it's coming.
Fediblock is a co-ordinated scheme for ostracising people from the Fediverse if they hold certain views. Generally it works by announcing blocks via the hashtag #fediblock, but there are also catalogues of instances to be blocked en masse, and automation available. One example of a list:
https://joinfediverse.wiki/FediBlock

Some examples of reasons stated for blocking individual instances from the Fediverse:

* “libertarianism”

* “TERFism” (feminists that oppose modern trans ideology)

* “Trumpism” (blocking nearly half the American electorate based on their political views?)

* “free speech”

* “federate with evil instances”

Sounds sketchy, right?

At least Twitter 1.0 had concrete guidelines that it could use to justify its censorship.

As can be seen from the list above, Fediblock is highly partisan and arbitrary. An ideal tool for political weaponisation of the Fediverse.
HashiCorp has plenty of revenue and that revenue is growing fast. They are losing money, but that's to be expected during the high-growth phase of their lifecycle. If they are having trouble growing as fast as their investors want it to, changing their licensing is not the way to fix it. This change is unfortunate because it won't bring serious new revenue to the company but it is a major blow to the reputation they had built.
Same here. CHF 777 per year for my 25gbit internet and TV service [1] . Any extra fees from interconnects etc are already included.

Same goes for sales tax. It must be included in the price of the product when displaying the price. No surprises at the cash register.

Yes, it's a better model for developing backends in general. Our comparison against Mastodon's official implementation demonstrates this, being at least 44% less code.

It's the ability to avoid the impedance mismatches which dominate existing tooling that makes such a difference. With existing databases, including RDBMS's, you have to twist your application to fit their data models. The existence of things like ORMs help, but they add their own layers of complexity.

With Rama, you mold your indexes to exactly match your application's needs. And you're always just working with objects represented however you want, whether appending data to depots, processing data in ETLs, or storing data in PStates.

That computation and storage are integrated and colocated is another way that Rama simplifies application development and deployment.
What's the motivation to paint a picture of a scene in front of you when cameras exist?
In Australia all prices are written on the box. Do US quoted prices not include tax or something? How many additional fees are there?
