That would require decrypting connections to HTTPS websites and would require deploying a root certificate to all client devices on the network, which is probably more complicated than installing a browser extension.
Very cool! We need to normalize powerful capabilities like this in simplified interpreted language form for the next generation of programmers.
He's certainly a hype man, and I admire that in him.

The first question was "You’d played bass guitar for years before you’d met Mike. Was he the inspiration for you to decide to explore acoustic bass?" so how is it a revelation that "Penn has always played bass?"
Electronic Arts!

Was told exactly the same, verbatim, followed by "besides you won't have time to work on them anyways".
Show me the UI for telling a specific application to redirect its audio output to a specific device automatically.
Show me the UI where I plug in a specific device it switches a specific applications (not all) default automatically to the new device.
Show me it's headphone EQ.
Show me per-app headphone EQ.
Show me per app EQ settings.
Show me the built in 3D/spatial audio for headphones

Then show me the config file you had to edit to set all of this up. And show me how clean and attractive the UI doing all this is. Then show me it in Pipewire because I don't care about Pulseaudio anyway and would never use that in 2023 with my need for low latency due to my DAW/equipment.
Then, in Pipewire, show me how to all this without using Wireplumber or Mixx.

I didn't say you couldn't do things in XYZ. I said the configuration of doing so sucks compared to doing it in another app. Soundsource was just an example. I don't know why you care so much. I could've said Pixelmator (GIMP?) or 30 other apps.

PS: "For all the talk, it should be trivial for you to make me look foolish right now. Like, so easy, right?"

You're this heated up because I like an OSX app more than Linux options? You're acting like I personally care about "winning" this argument. Even if it has these features I still wouldn't use the app. Aesthetics and ease of use is important to my day to day machine. Win the "argument" all you want.
Safari still has a limited implementation of Manifest v3, so that might affect the timeline. E.g. declarativeNetRequest API, which all adblockers use heavily, is missing very important functionality like redirects.

If this extension doesn't use the missing features then porting is as simple as running a single command to generate an Xcode project and then building the extension executable.

There's a great story from Vassar Clements:

C: Do you have any fond memories of playing with Jerry Garcia from years past?

V: A lot of them. He was a guy who just loved to play, so that just fits in with the rest of us musicians. He wanted to play all the time and so did we. We became friends before I ever knew who he was really. Me and Jerry Garcia as a person became friends before I knew who he was playing with. We made our way out to San Francisco and then I saw this billboard sign that looked like Jerry. I said, “hey Jerry, that looks like you,” and everybody started laughin’. They didn’t know that I didn’t know who he was. They got a kick out of that. That’s one of the funniest things that happened. We had a lot of fun, a lot of fun.

> "My inference was that he was getting nervous that Starlink's involvement was increasingly seen in Russia as enabling the Ukrainian war effort, and was looking for a way to placate Russian concerns," the former US official added.

> Satellite terminals donated by Mr Musk's SpaceX, as well as the US government and private donors, have become vital to Ukrainian military communications.

Talk about having one foot in both pools.

> Aides to Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky have previously attempted to ease Mr Musk's concerns by telling him the system is "about defence, advancement, and survival", a source told The Telegraph.

Sorries me that this even needs explanation.
I used to think there was something wrong with _two_ of my Plasma installs because everything felt generally sluggish. It wasn't unusably slow, just enough to notice it.

Turns out it's because the animation speed was so low (default). I doubled it and everything feels 1,000x better.
How many people actually extend the lifetime of their phone via custom firmware?
I imagine most people with old phones simply continue using their devices after support ends.
I can relate to Mr. Mead's experience of walking empty streets. I'm in a rural area now (much like where I grew up), but when I lived in cities the evenings in residential neighborhoods were often devoid of people, and whenever I visit cities now and go walking I don't meet many people except for on designed shared-use paths, depending on time of day.

I try to walk twice a day for about thirty minutes (even when I was spending hours a day playing video games I made time to at least walk), and I can count on two hands the number of times I've encountered another walking person over the past few years I've lived where I am now, orders of magnitude fewer than the number of drivers.

I like the loneliness, and it's also sad to think of all the people, of all ages, cloistered inside.
Long time, big user of Namecheap here.

I'm so confused about Spaceship.

Why would I use Spaceship over Namecheap, and vice-versa?
As a man I disagree.
Pretty easy to find by Googling. Here's one: https://www.jaci-inpractice.org/article/S2213-2198(19)31018-...
Music is very important to me, I listen to a ton of it, and I build up quite a collection. But then I get rid of the collection periodically. I don't want permanence anymore. Tried it for decades, and I'm over it.

There are drawbacks to any collection method, physical or digital, and at some point those drawbacks start to wear on me and I start to loathe the collection process. After enough loathing, I get rid of it. Or if transferring it between computers or apartments is more work than I'm willing to put in, I get rid of it.

Sure I've had to buy the same album two or three times on occasion, but not nearly as often as you might suspect (especially now that streaming services are a part of my listening habits). I'm much happier now that I'm not meticulously collecting and worrying about backups and such. I have an ever growing MP3 collection which is mostly stuff from bandcamp (and other artist-friendly digital sellers) and some ripped CDs. But I don't back it up, and I won't transfer it to my next computer (though most of the digital purchases are re-downloadable, at least for now). I stopped completely with physical media after living in a few very small apartments, and since I no longer have a turntable or CD player (or a CD drive, for that matter). So I just do streaming services or local MP3s (not meticulously organized -- I can just search the HD). It's not perfect, but neither were all the other methods I've tried (which include many of the systems people have suggested in the comments here), and this is far less work for effectively the same result.

If anyone's feeling collector-burnout, I highly recommend just getting rid of your collection (throw or give away, don't try to sell the sell-able stuff) and starting again simply.
This is correct, and in this case, the E E is for EarthEcho.
Oh wow there’s a loooootta stuff in here.

Great to see all the Bill Monroe bootlegs.

Definitely gonna give a few of these Bill Keith live shows a spin. Keith was a genius of the banjo and is criminally underappreciated.

I don’t think there’d be a Bela Fleck without Bill Keith.
Found the video where Russ says he was making around $100k per month before any label involvement: https://youtu.be/OebNTkTfzHU. I know this is the land of “that’s just survivorship bias!” And I certainly agree that luck and timing plays a massive role in billionaire level startup success, but this guy in particular is a few orders of magnitude of success below that (even if he’s still an outlier). I’m sure he still benefited from luck and timing, but he also was methodical about creating music non-stop, getting better at production, rapping, and writing, and marketing himself. My point being show me someone who has worked as hard and as smart as he has, who picked a niche of music that has large audiences (aka high Total Addressable Market), and who released as much content as him, and I will show you someone who is having non-trivial streaming success - again maybe not $1M+ annually - but something material beyond just scraping by. That doesn’t mean Big Tech is absolved of sin in how it distributes profits or exerts monopoly control or whatever, but I think we often overlook the opportunities these networks have provided for people that would otherwise live in obscurity with no audience whatsoever.
Yes, that's what people mean.

Browser zoom cannot be overridden.
I like it so far!
Unpopular take.

Wouldn't it be more ethical to not visit ad supported websites in the first place? Instead of removing the source of their income while still consuming their content?

Someone should make an extension "SiteBlock Origin": Everytime it detects the presence of an ad, the whole website gets blocked, not just the ad. That would be ethically consistent.
This is all live bootlegs, and Sturgill (sadly) never toured those albums.

His songs slam. Trying to put together a bluegrass tribute set of his music for early next year.
The example here is misformatted:

Despite us wanting to muse about cats being outdoors as cute, they are the #1 human introduced predator of birds, and general outside pests. Their feces get other animals sick, and they effortlessly destroy months of nature's progress just roaming.

Inside cats are pets. Outside cats are pests.
Interesting, isn't it? I'm sure it has some legal or PR reason or something but IMHO the more important part is about acknowledging the problem: The current copyright system doesn't work and something is needed to compensate for the work.

The internet has shaken the system but the content producers were able to adapt, albeit resulting in lower quality content.

However with the raise of AI, the thing completely shattered. Previously, someone reading the content and telling it to others wasn't a problem that breaks the compensation scheme for content producers but with ChatGPT and similar we have a situation where this "person" can tall about it to literally everyone. Some new compensation scheme is needed and OpenAI is probably trying o act as the "nice guy" to prevent the urgent need of a scheme that might limit their ability to consume other people's content.
I use Ultrasonic as well, but I've found Symfonium to be much more stable, especially wrt Android Auto and Chromecasts.

There's several other open source Android apps as well. I've been testing out as many apps as I can find and documenting the features of each in this spreadsheet[0]. It's a bit out of date, and there's one or two more apps to add, but you get the gist

Man, Vassar was one of the true player’s players. Totally self taught, mostly by ear, and could spin circles around most of the Nashville cats.

Love Redneck Jazz, and his playing on Bela Fleck’s Bluegrass Sessions Vol 2. “Valley of the Rogue” is such a dope tune.

futures contracts work somewhat well for farmers. There's a level of certainty provided and they are reducing their risk so that a low price at the end of the season doesn't ruin them (however they also don't profit from a higher price). As a farmer i would likely prefer to sell a certain percentage of my goods with a futures contract so that i can have less risk of financial ruin.
Do you have a citation for this? My historical understanding was that throughout the late 18th, 19th and very early 20th centuries the Industrial Revolution and urbanization made it a financial necessity for (non-farming) women to work outside of the home. Then, the enormous wealth gains in the early to mid-20th century made it possible for many to stop working or never join the workforce at all, and they took up that opportunity. I would be interested in reading more.

Looking at the labor force participation rate for women, since 1950 it's gone from 1/3 to 2/3.
Steep? .com used to be $100 for two years. That was the registrar price. It's cheap now to me.
I think I just realized why an org I worked for would never hire a consultancy to do that: our peer organizations would find that we're much smaller than we should be.

> or find developers to work in the system

It's an interesting issue, personally I wouldn't look at someones employment history, and working with legacy tools/environments, as a black mark, but it could be indicative of someone who simply refuses to move to new technology.

I've also hired some younger people who were actually interested in picking it up because they were keen to learn anything they could, and you can learn plenty from Delphi despite it's warts.

Over time I've described myself as suffering a kind Stockholm Syndrome w/ Delphi now, and some of the guys on my team have flat out refused to learn it for maintaining some of our systems.
It's important to me because if the pattern was actually useful then we should be able to use it anywhere and talk about it. It seems obvious that the pipe "workflow" pattern as they call it isn't the end-all for program composition - so how can we fix and expand it? It seems fixable.

Another context question: How would you define a monad in Microsoft Excel? For context, that is my favorite programming language. It seems perfectly capable at doing strong monad composition better than a Linux shell.

I just want monads be real and tangible! Examples in reality instead of Math.
I disagree merely with it being a weird or wrong expectation in many cases, not that it is bad policy.
Tax policies which favour investment in property encourage those with funds to buy and lease homes to those who (now) can't afford to buy and will instead spend years funneling their minimal wealth into the pockets of the already-wealthy. Not rigged though. /s

Western medicine essentially requires published scientific studies done in a way that minimizes variables and generates strong confidence.

There are a lot of room for things that work, but cannot meet the control or confidence guarantees of official medicine. The problem is that grey area leaves room for (1) really bad treatments (2) idiocracy in attempting to solve serious issues with useless techniques.
It provides a perverse incentive for those running prisons (usually the government but also private owners) to put more people in prison for their slave labor.
Visiting is one thing. Living there is something different.
This is really neat, there are some really cool, low cost integrated packages for ToF sensors (not what the article was talking about though). ST makes a bunch of them and they are surprisingly small.
I have got my right lung busted by a sub-woofer at the techno rave party in 2011. Still hurts from time to time as there are some wierd scars left inside.

I think the concert\rave\nightclub sound levels should be revised globally. It is so stupid to blast mostly shitty music that loud. It will not make it better...
I'm unsure of how it exactly differs and whether there are features missing. I will admit that if I were to install uBOL today, I would be worried that it would be less capable and my browsing experience less-safe.
I think this was being done to the earlier versions of the system, before the GC described in the paper was implemented.

I went through the full deal with an algorithmic trading firm. I blazed through the interviews and given the history I have in finance was able to finish a large on-site assignment with an hour to spare. I was told that I was the first to ever finish it. Second to last step was submitting an official college transcript as part of their background check process. Last step was talking to the CEO.

Now, I flunked out of college, but I spent 7 years on Wall St., and 12 years with MAGMA firms. College was over 20 years ago. I made this clear up front and the recruiter told me it wasn't a problem.

The call with the CEO was two hours of "why did you get a C in Martian and Lunar Geology?" and "Why did you get an F in Intro to Viticulture and Enology?" After that I get the offer (it was all cash and about $150k more than my current role even with equity factored in). I refused and told the recruiter that it was because I was drug through the coals like that. The recruiter's response was "yeah, I know, we keep asking him not to do that."

They called every couple years asking me to reconsider. Always a new recruiter. And every time I told them exactly why I refused and asked if that policy had changed. Every time I was told it hadn't and the call ended.
that you have to do it at all is evidence that its recreating images from its training set and there could be potential copyright issues.
The comment I replied to specified ISO 8601. The Gregorian constraint is a given.

I put in a whole clause in my original comment to preempt this flavor of pedantic sniping that involves applying double standards. And yet here we are.
>>>...a large number of suits were filed with a shotgun approach. The only way you can sift through this from first principles is to read the legal briefs that were actually filed.

True and I think that's a good observation.

My takeaway from it was they were looking to get a trial and up against a fast approaching statue of limitations. I also think the fraud they claimed was very novel for a case. What evidence would a person need to bring forward to meet the criteria for standing in a federal election> I still don't know even though most of these cases were dropped for it.

A lot of the sound bites in the press focused on what I thought was frivolous political points on both sides so I think the answer is like many of the issues we are facing these days, in the middle.

However, I do believe giving Trump a day in court and having faith in the system would be overall the best to move the country forward. Maybe he is allowed to bring forward some evidence in his criminal trials for why he believed there was fraud? We shall see.
I'll use it on my drive home.

I love this! This is a 1000x more valuable than what the babysitter er teacher was going to teach them. How do snap decisions affect outcomes? When is it good and when is more valuable to take a step back. I love it. Fail fast and hard young folk, come out better after.
This is me playing a keyboard with a "Janko" chromatic layout: https://youtu.be/82xaEGgiiRs

I gave it a shot but found it difficult to unlearn a decade of traditional piano training. Also, unlike typing in Dvorak, you can't just use software to change the layouts of existing instruments. That said, if anyone knows where to find a high-quality piano with a chromatic layout, I'd love play it!

Safari already has a long list of content blockers which blocks ads by supplying a list of urls to the browser. I use Ka Block! for iOS and it works well enough.
TL;DR is that the answer to the question is, "because that's their job". And, you know, I'm very glad we have people whose job it is to do this, and I hope it's happening also for influenza and RSV and monkeypox and lots of other viruses. But unless you're just into virology, there's not much news here. From the article:

“I don’t think anybody needs to be alarmed by this,” stresses Bloom. “The most likely scenario is that this variant fizzles out, and in a month, nobody other than people like me even remember that it existed.”
If only they had hired the expertise of someone that posts on Hacker News all day!
I ran without an adblocker for a long time with a similar sort of reasoning. What got me to finally install an adblocker is an increase in malvertising. Going to legitimate sites with third party ads resulted in drive by downloads, fake update warnings, fake AV warnings, attempts to get you to install shady extensions, etc. I disable the adblocker for websites that use better ad sourcing methods.

Some interesting examples predating the 1950s:

In the far-future world of The Machine Stops (1909), the Earth's surface is uninhabitable and respirators are required to even breathe outside. I don't think it's explained why, but it's hard not to connect it with The Machine, and the general apathy the population displays towards the natural world.

The there's The Man Who Awoke (1933) which I have not read but from Wikipedia seems like a very clear cut example: "a man who awakes from suspended animation in various future eras and learns about the destruction to the Earth's climate, caused by overuse of fossil fuels, global warming, and deforestation. People of the future refer to 20th century humans as "the wasters"."

I suspect the concept of anthropogenic climate change, accidental or deliberate, is probably about as old as sci-fi - the concerns would have become apparent as soon as the industrial revolution started visibly wrecking the environment.
Thought this was great - especially being so up front about the value of distribution.

I wrote a post about the very same meetup, but note distribution is not one of our "why open source" answers https://www.medplum.com/blog/yc-oss-faq - perhaps we are alone in this regard
