WebRTC makes this possible, but server implementations are quite difficult to set up. I recommend you check out Pion (Golang) as a good implementation that's also easy to deploy and integrate with Node (presumably your game server is implemented in JS).
If you want go, there is a magic-wormhole implementation called wormhole-william [1].

Yeah but prices are still at very low interest rate levels and not at 8% interest rate level
That's all financed and even more sensitive to the rate increases than buyers who want to live there
Part of the problem is that both parties have ended up making our tax code so convoluted as sops to their own special interest groups. Group A needs a tax break for this! Group B for that! And so if you have a bog-standard boring return, fine, but if your financial situation ends up in certain buckets such as renting out property, getting RSUs, etc., then sometimes it's cheaper to hire an accountant than leave money on the table not understanding your deductions.

And then people in less-complicated situations get intimidated and think they need tax-prep software. Or they're lazy like me and use TurboTax so they can click through everything in an hour and be done with it.
Norwegian here, and I feel the same as Toutouxc.

I can imagine the year as a circle, since we’ve had circles like that in school.

But there’s not generally any figure that pops into my head when I think about it.

I can relate to the complicated pictures some have though. It feels like different parts of the year have different sizes and angles to them, so could probably draw a shape that feels right to me

In the 8 years since I lived in the United States my income taxes in other countries have been almost unbelievably easy. Typically I look at the calculated amount provided by a government website, compare it to what I think it should be if there is done discrepancy, upload some receipts or whatever for deductions, then click submit.

It is beyond me why the experience should be any how different in the United States. And don't tell me, oh but there's 50 States which makes it complicated. I've lived in 5 countries in those years, four of which I had to pay taxes and every one was this easy.
I mean, isn't it? Try as I might, I've yet to find any explanation about what theory of money they operate on. I've began to suspect the issue isn't a poor ability to research on my part.
>it didn't have an MMU

It didn't, but the real issue wasn't that it didn't have one.

It was that it didn't support one. Specifically, the stack frame the 68000 pushes on bus error lacks the information to allow recovery (retrying).

68010 solved this. Many UNIX workstations are based on the 010, some use Motorola's MMU chip, most use custom designs.

You want the binomial distribution.

("B") for LibreOffice Calc.) 1/2^40 doesn't come into it. There are 67 relevant employees.

Given that 50% of all employees were laid off, what were the odds of at least 40 employees out of 67 randomly-selected employees getting laid off?

=B(67;0.5;40;67)
> 0.07103569

[This is the LibreOffice formula: "in 67 trials which each have a 0.5 chance of success, what is the probability of seeing between 40 and 67 successes?"]

One-tailed p-value of 0.07, two-tailed p-value of 0.14. So the odds are about 1 in 7, or 1 in 14.

You might want to ask yourself "Do I really believe that, if I thought I might be about to get fired, that would have no influence on whether I tried to join a union?" [Answering this question in the negative means you can justify using the one-tailed p-value, but it also means the odds of getting fired should be substantially above 50%.]

Note also that this number shifts substantially as you move the odds of getting laid off away from 50%. At 53%, you have a one-tailed value of 16.44%. At 47%, it's 2.5%.
This should be wildly illegal.

A circle? What? I always thought of the year as a sloppy ellipsis, with a positive gradient from 01-10 and a negative gradient from 11-12. The connection to the next year isn't a solid line but a dotted one.
Also, in my imagination there is a third dimension, which means that the ellipsis doesn't connect to its starting point, but spirals upwards.
It'll just happen again anyway, it's not like this is their first blunder like this.
Yes. They acquired the company for no logical reason, did nothing with it, and then dumped it rather than spin it out because they don't care and want their money back.

Individual home owners and business interests have a vested interest in maintaining a very tight grip on the status quo with regard to zoning, which is the primary tool for driving housing reform.

They will continue to do everything in their power to prevent the construction of affordable housing, because it will destroy their current real estate investments.

Here's the bit of the article they put in the middle after all the outrage:

> "On Monday, October 16, 2023 over half of Bandcamp was laid off as a result of Epic Games’ divestiture to Songtradr,” Bandcamp United said in a statement. “Of those laid off, 40 were in the union bargaining unit out of a total 67 members. None of the eight (8) democratically elected bargaining team members received a job offer."

I can't be bothered to work out the odds on that happening randomly but by intuition is that it's not super unlikely. Especially when you consider that the kinds of people who have time to lead a union are likely to be the kinds of people without important jobs.

Also can't they just elect new leaders?

The meeting does sound suss though.
They always say nothing will change. It's the surest indication that there will be changes.

Maybe, I don't think so.

The first time I heard goa trance it was in 90s, Astral Projection. It was too weird for me. I couldn't stand it!

Then in the early 00s I got introduced to psytrance. I started listening to it. Then I refound my love for goa trance (see my other post for examples) and I fell in love. It was an exciting time for me. I fell in love with two women, I used my first time MDMA and mushrooms later on, all of this while I learned to know this fantastic genre.

One could argue it was related to my first listening of AP. But I don't think I heard MWNN before, and I instantly loved it, and he has a very distinctive style. If you take Shakta, he's also made psytance, same with Miranda, MWNN, AP, etc etc but I don't like it.

Also, back in the 90s I listened to a lot of progressive trance as well (the usual names: Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk, stuff mixed by Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, etc etc). How would you explain that?

Plus I like a lot more electronic music, mostly (but not solely) from 90s. I even like some psydub/psybient. But psytance? Nope. Well, barely.
I've worked in software and I've flown jets off an aircraft carrier. Egos are not an unfamiliar concept. And while there are "A" players, there are also arrogant prima donnas who think they're "A" players, which is why I'm skeptical of sentences like this.

In my previous life, there were plenty of people who could water your eyes in the jet, but who couldn't mentor or bring along new folks to save their lives. Which made them useless in the long term because they couldn't train their replacement.

The real gold are the "A" players who can mentor "B" players into becoming "A" players. Because in any field, there are three kinds of people. The natural freaks of nature who need no help, the vast middle, and the incompetent who shouldn't be there. Organizations who crush it understand that they need the best team players out of Group 1 to mentor the crap out of as much of Group 2 as they can, and they only need to fire Group 3. But the prima donnas of Group 1 make it sound like they can carry an organization . . . and they largely can't.
And yet the longest and most passionate threads on HN are on crypto topics. Even Rust doesn't come close.
Our body of knowledge derives from intimate familiarity with an environment that is rare in the universe. The extremes here do not compare at all to cosmological extremes. It's not surprising that our chemistry is quite sophisticated and nuanced when the elements involved are abundant here and the temperatures involved are within a range easily achievable here and the gravity is more or less 1G and there is atmospheric pressure and the ambient magnetic field is inside a certain range and the time intervals involved are observable within a human attention span.

I think we make a mistake by universalizing our perspective, so to speak. We define life by what we see around us and then assert, correctly and unassailably, that life must be made of the chemistry that we ourselves are made of, without generally understanding that the definitions are circular.
Oh, right, I'll fix that - thanks for pointing it out.

> What are some well-known distributions that appear to have outliers? A log-normal distribution maybe?

All of them. Which is why outside of a handful of contexts, the consensus in statistical modeling nowadays seems to be not to worry about outliers unless the values are completely unreasonable or there are a suspicious amount of them.

As to your bootstrapping idea, why not bootstrap the entire distribution, why only the tails? If you only bootstrap the tails but allow draws from the entire empirical distribution then you are changing the underlying distribution.

"And tax politics make strange bedfellows. Fighting alongside H&R Block and Intuit are anti-tax activist groups like Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform. H&R Block and Intuit love taxes—that’s how they make their money. Grover Norquist wants to cut taxes wherever possible. But on this issue, their interests are aligned. H&R Block and Intuit want to make it difficult for you to file on your own. The anti-tax activists think that if taxpaying is too easy, voters will be less likely to resist the federal government’s growth. Both want to make it as painful as possible for you to do your taxes yourself."

True, in a way it is just making the same mistakes of silencing unpopular opinions. I hope these Harvard students stayed way under their potential with a message like this at a time when Israel was invaded. It reflects badly on the education. This was a bit beyond bad taste.

Still, effort should be made to widen the discourse again, instead of reiterating bad ideas like "speech has consequences".
My first entry was like "Welcome to thunderrabbit's journal! Today is April 11, 1987 and I just had a fun experience that I want to remember..."

Journaling off and on since 1987, I have a few rules for myself when journaling:

1. Write the time, day of week, date, month, and year for every entry.

2. Don't worry about lapses in writing. Just write a new
entry when I can.

3. Allow my topics to be spontaneous. I sometimes have a structure I'd like to use, but allow freedom in any moment.

4. Relish mistakes, smears, stains on the paper by labeling them, e.g. "tea stain while studying with Akane" (real example!)

5. Just enjoy the process of writing.
As an HR would say, those people are "a bad cultural fit", which legitimately raises the probability of them being laid off to 100%. Simple.
> so they're going to raise ad-free tier prices until [the profit matches what is earned on ad-supported tiers]

That seems reasonable to me. I'm always willing to pay the advertising profits out of my own pocket to not see them. But I have started pirating more lately because:

1) Sometimes I just can't figure out which service a certain piece of content is found on.

2) I can't force high bitrate 4k HDR video on streaming platforms. It often knocks me down to 1080p or low bitrate fake "4K". This is despite having multi-gig Fiber. I have to pirate to ensure that I'm watching the best quality that my cheap $200 TV can provide, because Netflix/Disney/etc are too cheap to provide me the product I paid extra for (4K video).
Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter all use a monorepo too. It's not just Google.

Granted, Facebook have written their own VCS and Microsoft heavily modified Git to make it usable with monorepos (but only on Windows).

Unfortunately stock Git is bad at multirepos and monorepos. When you have "hundreds of people working full time on a project" scale, stock Git doesn't have a good answer.

Yes, you can refinance any time with nearly no cost. During covid years, a lot of homeowners refinanced multiple times, each time with a small bonus (under 3K) for refinancing.

What people don't understand though is interest payments are front-loaded. Most of the early payments will be almost all interest, and with frequent refinances most of them are paying interest all time time, extending mortgage by a few years. Most only think of cash flow and the payments appear lower, if you don't think about those extra years.

What extra odd things could they have done to DVDs that would make them harder to rip? I assume they wouldn't want to break compatibility with existing players.

Mainstream DVDs have pretty much always been a collection of .TS files on the disc, best ripped with specialized software. Things like VLC pull in those libraries upon install anyway. Also, I think you mean "rip" rather than "burn", if you mean to copy data from the disc to your machine.

From the perspective of a Bandcamp customer, does any of this actually affect their ability to browse, buy, and listen to music? "ruin" implies the quality degraded, while "nothing" implies a neutral progression.

The only degregation here is the layoffs from the torch passing, but I believe Bandcamp still has more employees now than they did before being acquired.

I believe that many people are starting to fear that their lower rate mortgage exceeds the value of their house. While, in the long run, they’ll likely be fine but the near term may be 10-15 years of stagnant or declining home values. It’s also looking like the Fed is very intent on keeping rates higher for longer, and/or possibly hiking them again, further increasing the burden on buyers. It’s not looking good for sellers or buyers for at least the next 18 months. I suspect a crash in the housing market will occur but we haven’t had enough time to see foreclosures pick up to start the cascade downward.
But that's the point - Delta (and others) aren't that much more. So people aren't paying a premium to avoid Southwest, because there isn't a premium to be paid.

I did not believe this so I went investigating.

I'm assuming they are referring this forum post made by an community member: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-13491

It cites 3 sources with one I trust which is a blog post by John Gruber: https://daringfireball.net/2017/07/you_should_not_force_quit...

That email is dated 2016ish and the article is from 2017. Since iOS 11, apps now have access to a more comprehensive BackgroundTasks framework. I've noticed apps abuse this. The best approach is to go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and disable things that should not be using it. For example, my local super market app doesn't need background app refresh.

Thanks for KeyboardCleanTool! I’ve used it for years, and it inspired me to add a similar function called Cleaning Mode in my Lunar app: https://lunar.fyi/shortcuts#cleaning-mode

I needed the MacBook screen and monitors to be completely black while cleaning so I can see the dust that would result in scratches if cleaned with a cloth. I also needed the trackpad to be disabled and an easy to press key combo to turn off cleaning mode (I arrived on spamming the Command key at least 8 times as a combo, hard to accidentally press, easy to remember)

I’m always annoyed by Apple’s practices in app review, why would they decide for users what is useful and what isn’t? Not to mention the scams that pass review and are left to live in the App Store for months.
It might be a bit disappointing, but there aren’t much in the way of next level techniques.

Sure there might be one off tricks to solve specific problems, but for integration these tend not to be useful in general.
