Boards of Canada came to their sound because in their youth, the brothers had to move to Canada for a time. Even though it was only a couple of years their experience made an indelible mark on them—particularly school days watching old National Film Board of Canada tapes on worn VCR heads.

When they moved back to Scotland and started their music they started incorporating both the machinery and the sounds from the tapes in their compositions. And they could play their compositions live. It was quite the rig.

It’s not just entertainment. It’s communicating a very specific feeling and perspective. Keep learning and create, don’t be satisfied with just copying.

The biggest difference here is in the doing. You have to grow into one mode over time and energy spent, the other is immediate gratification with minimal personal energy.

Everything valuable comes during the course of that process of growing and committing energy. And it’s so good. Don’t deny yourself.
Right - that’s impressive
> its almost total absence of practical examples for using what was being taught was a huge damper on my interest in it, for example

Ag yes, notably, I just could not care about calculus when I was in high school. I understood it had practical users, but at the time it just seemed far away from me I couldn’t bring myself to care. Flash forward years later and I find myself interested in problems where that knowledge might have actually been useful.
Yes, I think that env vars are superior to a file or CLI args. One advantage is that you can pass secrets without persisting in a file or making them visible to other processes through CLI args.
Yes, which is why the radiation limits for cell phones was set to 10x lower than the lowest amount that might be theoretically even slightly harmful.

Now one testing lab in France says that one particular phone is slightly (less than 10%) higher than those already very conservative, cautious limits.

Most likely scenario: the testing lab used the wrong methodology. This is what happened in France many times previously.

Also possible: the testing lab is right, some phones are slightly out of compliance. They're still safe. The radiation levels are still way below levels that are even theoretically harmful.
That kind of innate skeptism is good science though.
I really appreciate this reply, it doesn't help either of us to know we aren't alone in this experience but I appreciate the effort it takes to be honest and open about struggles like this.

I still want to code, or at least part of me still thinks it can be an enjoyable thing whether I am paid to do it or not. Its not the work that's the problem, it's the people and how they treat me. You cannot convince someone to "fix" a problem when their salary depends on them being blissfully unaware.

You don't need LOFAR scale aperture to receive solar radio bursts. I literally do it with a ~meter size antenna sitting outside on my porch. Seeing the frequency drift in solar radio bursts is quite easy all things considered. The lowest hanging fruit there is.

As for the fine timescale structure of solar radio bursts, depending on frquency, and for this you're probably wanting to cover all of l-band and up, you only need about a meter^2 of aperture. And to see the fine-structure you only need a fast enough receiver with wide bandwidth. That's a few hundred to a thousand bucks. And you definitely don't need to do any sort of imaging or array stuff. All you need is a single receiver and to look at the spectrogram with a time precision of milliseconds. It is very amateur accessible despite the fact that even the largest, most complex, radio telescopes are looking at it too.

> Another common criticism of Lua is that it lacks arity checks; that is, if you call a function without enough arguments, it will simply proceed instead of indicating an error. Fennel allows you to write functions that work this way (fn) when it's needed for speed, but it also lets you write functions which check for the arguments they expect using lambda.

I don't understand this; why is this a speed consideration?

A bridge gets passengers off the other side of the train to the escalators on the next platform over (I think), which could double or more-than-double the egress throughout. (More-than-double because, at least with some gates or careful monitoring, you don’t actually need the passengers off the platform to move the train - you just need the passengers off the train. Similarly, to board the train, the passengers could already be on the platform when the train arrives, allowing all cars to board simultaneously. (Of course, this isn’t terribly helpful for train cadence — you can’t board the next train until those passengers get to the platform.) As currently configured, unlike most sensible train stations, a train full of passengers can’t fit on the platform.)

Sorry, I don't understand the question. "In which paper" presumably doesn't refer to an academic paper?
One reason to place static files and cgi-bin executables in /var/www instead of /home/user homedir is: /var/www it's already labeled httpd_sys_content_t or httpd_sys_script_exec_t or instead of user_home_t (so that you don't need to `setsebool httpd_enable_homedirs on` for all users and `chcon httpd_user_content_t` if it's not necessary).

The quote they use is "We found no impact of vaccination status, viral variant, age, sex, or presence of co-morbidities." Specifically, in the section "Exhaled SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels increased with self-reported symptom severity," they say that they found folks with reported severe symptoms were higher than the others. However, it is worded and presented such that really only "severe" was higher. Indeed, figure 3c shows that vaccinated individuals have similar spikes as otherwise. (The CI is actually higher and wider on the chart for vaccinated?) That chart also highlights that people reporting "none" exhale more than people that report "some" and has peaks as high as those that say severe. Really, the "severe" just shows that at that level it is harder to ignore for anyone. (The min is higher.)

Now, the section "Vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals exhaled similar levels of SARS-CoV-2 RNA," calls out the actual high data points for unvaccinated as being actually higher, with a max of 876 to 549. Though, again, it shows the CI is wider for vaccinated.

Again, I'm mostly willing to get behind the claim that vaccinated people shed less. But that isn't strongly supported by the data. The data does support that super spreaders of 500+ exhaled breaths are unvaccinated.

So, if you want to limit the claim to "vaccinated people are kept from severe symptoms," I feel that is mostly known and agreed with today. If you try to move the claim to "vaccinated shed less than unvaccinated," the data clearly indicates that is not supported. Again the 95% CI is higher for vaccinated individuals on this study.

> Unity run like smoldering hot garbage on my brand new AMD AM5 build

This is actually a big problem with games made with Unity. The cheapest license requires you to show the Unity splash screen. The next license up (Pro) allows you to remove this splash screen. As you can imagine, devs using the cheapest license also tend to be lower skilled or new devs and make heavy use of the asset store's free assets. The result is that when you see the Unity splash screen you are likely playing a poorly made game. And when you are playing a Unity game that is made by a professional game studio, you don't know you are playing a Unity game.

This isn't to say all devs using the personal license write bad software, but they do tend to correlate.

I would have assumed (naively?) that they could just copy their uninstaller into a temp folder and run it from there, and just rely on the OS to nuke it in due time, but as a consumer I appreciate the thoroughness of an uninstaller that leaves no trace.
Show HN: Autonomous Cloud for Serverless and AI Infra. Leaping Beyond K8s
For the last 3 years, I have been working on a way to solve inefficiencies in software infrastructure. Introducing Taubyte.

What is Taubyte?
Taubyte is an open-source, autonomous cloud platform focusing on serverless and AI infrastructure. Designed to be edge-native and GitOps-centric, Taubyte aims to democratize cloud computing and reduce ops overhead.

Why Choose Taubyte? The Future is Autonomous!

- Ready-to-Go Platform: Unlike Kubernetes, which often requires additional products, Taubyte delivers a fully-functional cloud network out-of-the-box.

- Low to No Ops: Taubyte's autonomous nature eliminates the need for constant operational maintenance. Taubyte's self-governing system literally runs itself!

- Horizontal Scaling: Built-in support for horizontal scaling, no additional configurations needed.

- Serverless Focus: While Kubernetes can support serverless via add-ons, Taubyte is natively designed for serverless computing.

Repos and Tools:

- Tau (github.com/taubyte/tau): Deploy on servers to form a Cloud Network—a connected ensemble of Taubyte nodes identified by an FQDN.

- Dreamland (github.com/taubyte/dreamland): Use on your PC/laptop for E2E testing and local cloud simulation.

The fact that Godot Foundation doesn't/can't provide certification or support for console integration is not the same thing as "Godot can't be used for console development", let alone "Godot can't be used for console development[...] due to open source licensing issues". It's not (A)GPLv3.

Godot is MIT licensed. Godot can be used for console development—just like _any_ other piece of MIT-licensed code you want to build your game with. It's just that doing so is (read: remains) an undertaking that you have to deal with on your own, since Godot Foundation doesn't offer anything besides the Godot engine source code under compatible license terms. There's nothing particular about Godot or its license here.

From the documentation you yourself linked to:

In many (most?) developed countries, major media sources like newspapers and TV channels are each aligned with a specific political party or a specific political wing. So, their reportage is done through that political lens, and people have historically bought that newspaper because they want issues reported through that lens. It is mainly in American fora where people have this belief that news sources should be neutral.

The past three years I take a 30-180sec cold shower ~every morning to fully wake up (often my only shower, no soap to keep my skin oils, unless I get dirty). If I have to pick, I'll go with the cold shower rather than a twenty-minute walk unless I'm really feeling jittery-unexercised. I don't drink coffee anymore except a half cup now and then because it's such a treat (same with beer; a sip from my wife's pint is enough, if/when she'll share).

> But long trains are definitely more efficient, especially when they only have one type of cargo and all the cars are going to the same place. For one thing, the short trains need a lot more conductors and engineers than the single long train does.

I’ll believe this when I see a real analysis, and only when I see a real analysis.

A long train is huge, and revenue per long train net of fuel seems likely to be quite high. Notably, I expect it to be dramatically higher than the cost of even the number of conductors and engineers needed to run several short trains. (Conductors and engineers are not well paid.)

The tradeoff is that a long train fails if any of the cars fails, so the actual availability of a long train falls exponentially with length. (Which is “mitigated” by what appear to be rather poor, perhaps intentionally poor, inspection practices on the parts of the rail companies, thus allowing long trains with malfunctioning cars to continue to operate.)

I would expect shorter trains to be more economical with all costs considered, especially if signaling and safety systems were upgraded to allow more efficient scheduling.
BlackBerry Movie: How Much Does Historic Accuracy Matter?
That isn't my experience at all. MySQL wins at serving a large number of very simple SELECT queries and plain bulk INSERTs.

But Postgres wins hands down once the queries get slightly more complex, for larger numbers of concurrent UPDATEs, and kicks the pants off MySQL with a RETURNING clause where you don't have to perform a followup SELECT after each write, especially to get the new ID. (Necessary for writable CTEs and explains why MySQL doesn't support them.)

And don't get me started on MySQL's lack of range types and their associated indexes. Exclusion constraints can be a godsend to data validity.

MySQL has improved greatly since 8.x, but it's still very far behind the capabilities of Postgres, MS SQL Server, DB2, and Oracle.

MySQL does simple things fast though not as fast as SQLite. It's getting squeezed on the high end by all the other big SQL vendors and squeezed on the low end by SQLite. It lives in a functionality gap that keeps getting narrower and narrower.
Excellent ruling. The next question in my mind is whether incorporating private standards into legislation without compensation violates the the takings clause of the constitution.

It is well established that this clause applies to intangible property such as copyright. Furthermore I disagree with some aspects of the courts assessment regarding the purpose and impact to revenue. On the first point, there is a large overlap between people who need to know the legal requirements for building and those who want to know best practices - the later is nearly a subset of the former, especially once these best practices become the law. Furthermore, the distribution of incorporated standards has historically been a legal gray area at best. Just because there was little evidence of lost revenue in the past doesn't mean there won't be significant lost revenue after it becomes unambiguously legal.
Is the behavior that a running .js script is fully loaded into memory and the file doesn't need to exist documented, supported behavior?

What if, hypothetically, the system was suspended in the middle of script execution, and the resume function was designed to reload the script from disk?

It just feels like a different hack to me.

Also - trying 20 times and pausing 500 ms seems wasteful. What are the chances that it's going to succeed a subsequent try if it fails the first try? Why not catch the error message and only retry for errors that have a plausible chance of succeeding if you retry?

I'm not an expert, but my understanding is the Lua has a very limited grammar that is specifically designed to be parsed in a single pass. This precluded Lua from performing arity checks on function calls.

Fennel does support arity checks but it comes with a runtime cost since it's implemented as a separate Lua call after being transpiled from Fennel.
