I totally agree, I have seen people get so fixated on this in addition to:

- review feedback format

- variable naming

- keeping line lengths to 80 lines

- log message formats (sweet jesus the amount of time wasted debating that alone)

Whenever I see these conventions about commit formatting they generally seem to focus on the first line (notable exceptions being Git and the Linux kernel among others I assume), one line is rarely enough to describe the change – I’m not advocating for writing an essay for a 5 line change though in some cases it might be warranted.

Professionally I rarely see useful commit messages, by useful I mean something that could be read by someone without context and get a general understanding of why a change was made. Frequently I have seen “updates” / “wip” etc. in the master branch.
More frequently I see that the quality of commit message decreases with an engineer’s seniority – though like every thing there are exceptions.

I probably have a whole personal blog of my own on the topic, dear as it is to my soul.

My two main pieces of advice: The bar is very very low, and share your burden quickly.

99 times out of 100 you are way overestimating the value of what you're delivering and people's expectations for it, and underestimating the value of time i.e. shipping quickly.

I've turned in so many things I'm not happy with and gotten a "this is great" that now I frequently just send over pseudocode, whiteboard sketches, and bullet point design docs to just get going on the feedback loop. Nobody has ever said "this is so bad we can't use any of it."

I also realized I do much better finishing other people's work than starting my own .. and so does almost everyone else. Bringing other people in overcomes "the boredom paradox" of a looming deadline - working with other people has its own challenges, but it is definitely not boring!

One specific thing I did that helped a few years ago at my precious company was I told my team, wrote in my email signature, ran a small study group, etc. On grit, procrastination, and "growth mindset" and just made a very intentional effort to tell people how I struggled with this problem.

So many people shared the problem! It really gave us a nice community and helped us (and management) recognize some of these issues, lesrn some new techniques, and get better at coaching, setting expectations, and ultimately managing the work.

So maybe last piece of advice is be open if you have these issues.
>Why is SEO needed still needed here when AI / LLMs can just conjure up answers with references to valid links, bypassing search engines.

In short: money. LLMs will no doubt change the implementation, but the commercial dynamics are fundamentally the same. It's expensive to build and run a search engine, whether conventional or LLM-based. Someone has to pay for that - and it's not search users. Advertising and its derivatives have become that revenue source, with all the good and bad that brings with it. As long as that commercial dynamic remains, there'll be SEO or some derivative thereof.

Old enough to remember the days when Java reached near AI-level hype. Most of the advanced placement and undergraduate CS courses in the U.S. were taught in Java. There was an annual conference in San Fransisco called JavaOne/Oracle OpenWorld that rivaled the size of even NeurIPS, drawing tens of thousands of attendees each year. According to some statistics, there were 10 million Java developers and 3 billion devices running Java worldwide. I wonder what happened? Why does HN dislike Java so much?

edit: Someone should really take the time to highlight all the innovative machine learning research happening in Java. The original implementation of t-SNE [1] was written in Java. Most NLP researchers have heard of CoreNLP [2], also Java. One of the earliest ML libraries, Weka [3], was written in Java and is still actively developed at the University of Waikato. Noteworthy research on ML4Code specifically targets the Java language [4]. There's a bunch of published sketching algorithms for Java (e.g., DataSketches [5], t-digests, ddsketch et al.), featured in an invited talk [6] to NeurIPS this year. Just to name a few off the top of my head.

Had this exact same experience. Picked the Simpsons just to try it out and in the first pair up was S1 stuff vs some episode from S18 I've never seen.

So I picked The S1 episode. Then it was another S1 episode. Repeat. Then an S2 episode.

My second option never changed from that first episode from S18 so I never picked it. Perhaps I could have gone through 12-17 seasons of episodes always picking option one until two episodes I've never seen went head to head.

IMO, both options need to randomize each time until first pairings are exhausted.

If I was a hiring manager, I would certainly appreciate this attitude. However, I would value as well a person who would use an already made tool for doing the job (such as yt-dlp). Only problem is that the second type wouldn't write a blog post about it and get traction on HN :D
They can do so, for minimal gain. And it’s possible they’ll lose despite $$$ which would be worse than having done nothing.
I've never worked on big enough project to hit such issues.

Could you provide some examples?

Not that I doubt your claims, just curious
You’re really missing the point of the whole conversation: account bootstrap and recovery for situations where things like verifying that a real human and not a bot owns the account, that the real human is unique and isn't lying about their name, and that the human is legally allowed to use a service (age) are requirements.

(To your example: we’re talking about bootstrapping an account at a bank not using a bank card as a bearer token. Banks won’t trust a bank card when you tell them you lost your bank card and need a new one, or walk into the branch for the first time to open an account.)

Today we do an entirely shitty job across the board of meeting these requirements. We root trust in essentially the digital analog of your postal address. We TOFU any comms coming from a new address. We use crap like captcha (which is now easily defeated by AI) to try and help establish a pulse. Etc.

Everything you mention about stable IDs existing, corporations abusing the relationship with their users for extra profit, etc., is already a problem today. All a service needs is name and DoB and they can sell info about how you use their service to aggregators for days. Our current system of email addresses doesn’t solve that even remotely. And it makes services that do justifiably need stable IDs reach for crummy insecure, unsafe and terrible options like asking you to upload a photo of you holding your drivers license… talk about creepy shit services shouldn’t be doing. There is no reason we can’t show the user a page that explains exactly what data will be shared with a service when they present any given credential and allow them, not you, to make the choice of whether that’s okey and warranted for the given service.

You’re making multiple logical fallacies: (1) you’re moving the goalposts and arguing that a system that improves our ability to issue, hold, and consume digital versions of a government issued ID is wholesale bad because it doesn’t solve all conceivable problems in the digital ID space even though it solves many. And (2) your resounding reason for the badness is that “it will be designed poorly and used by bad guys” which is just our slippery slope du jour.

FYI, the Russel Barkley video from the grandparent comment is a controversial figure. He presents a lot of his own pet ADHD theories as if they were facts.

He's one of the OG internet ADHD influencers, back when ADHD was still commonly stigmatized. Someone I know joked that if you watched enough Russel Barkley videos, anyone could convince themselves they had ADHD.
Because AI doesn't provide accurate information and you need to validate it yourself? Has anyone who cared about SEO stopped recently?

They will do both prestigious work, and will also do thankless work, as long as it contributes to the success of the project.

Seoul is 0.59.

Half of South Korea's population lives in/around Seoul: 26 million people.

Even still, it's not Seoul that's mainly at risk: people will continue to flock from every town and city to live there for years to come.

It's those feeder towns/cities that are going to disappear off the map. They're already shutting down elementary schools for lack of kids.

The Bombe was used to break the encryption and read German army and navy cypher traffic. It was kept secret at all costs, up to and including sometimes _not using its results_ for fear of tipping off the Germans, even if this resulted in loss of life and shipping in the Atlantic.

Anyone far enough ahead to have a functional quantum computer powerful enough to mine all the Bitcoin, would instead keep it secret and use it to read foreign government encryption etc...

Emptying the blockchain into your bank account doesn't move the needle for anyone at that level.
The problem with multi user title voting is that it becomes a popularity contest, not an ostensible quality ranking. Steam itself has spent years trying to address this.

TV episodes don't have that problem because each user has viewed all (or at least a sequence of) the episodes.
As a Java dev now, this comment does not make sense. Doing Java for 4 years now and I only appreciate how much it can do (working on MMO which is written in Java both backend and fronted).
I should have been clearer: I'm not against JS, I'm huge fan actually but I don't see the promised lands of better user experience with having these overly complex architectures where the UI is JS heavy and has to be pre-rendered on the server side so that the Search engines can make a sense of it. Larger and larger, heavier and heavier JS never delivered those perfected UI experiences that Web technologist promised.

The Web technology folks still circle around the same problems like 10 years ago when the actually popular and successful websites like HN and others deliver superb UX with the dinosaur tech.

Anything that is actually using the advanced Web technologies are not in the domain of SEO, stuff like true web apps like Figma, Google Docs let's say. At best, you can index list of content for those but that list could have been a JS-free HTML rendered by PHP.

I was also thinking about the RP2040 for cost reasons, they are so damn cheap. But I'll go ahead with the Teensy and the PCB first before I'll try something like that.

> - do you have noise issues (as in a value oscillating by +/- 1 randomly)

I've implemented a dead zone logic for this: You have to move the pot a little bit before it “picks up” the movement. I think I've tuned this quite on the safe side and it still feels instant. I'm working on a video demonstration that will hopefully show it.
For testing, I was running some automation in Bitwig for an hour and did things like knocking on the table while it ran; if there was any CC message, it would take over the automation so after an hour I would have seen some green indicators to restore automation control.

> - do you see an issue in precision around your 0/max R positions? they are not exactly contiguous in the pot.

No, it feels very smooth. I had some issues with the logic for the points where the directions reversed, but after figuring that out, I can no longer tell where the 0/max positions are.

> - did you get a measurement of the angle equivalent for a change of 1 in your output value (equivalent of step angle in a step encoder)

No; it's analog and there's the deadzone logic so I don't think it is quite as simple as this, but since we're having 4096 values across 360 degrees it would be 0.09 degrees. I do believe that 12bit is actually a bit too much to be reasonable and it is probably more about the timing/bandwidth at this point, not resolution.

Sure, it’s difficult for people outside the group to reliably ascertain who actually contributed what and how it relates to the final output’s quality. Collective grading in group projects is a sacrifice of a small bit of justice for a great deal of administrative convenience - not the last time that will happen in a student’s life.

But when a system does bother with individual differences in contribution, inequality is seen as necessarily unjust. I don’t see how you can live through a group project and believe that. Some people contributing much more than others or being much more competent than others is eminently plausible! That’s how most things go!
The USA often ignores the international community in many things, if the right domestic interest groups are behind it. It's just that currently the USA has powerful domestic companies/interests that are against copyright term extensions, which are more powerful than the (also quite powerful) companies in favour of term extensions.

In the past decade, the USA also has tried to spread the new extended period over the world via trade treaties, of life plus 70 years, going beyond Berne's life plus 50 years.

What bothers me about canola oil is it is actually rape seed oil. Rape seed is/was originally toxic. I have heard two different stories on how this was overcome. 1) The toxicity was bred out by Canadians. 2) The toxicity is removed in a process invented in Canada. In either case Canadians are responsible and came up with the more marketable name. Imagine trying to sell rape oil.

I worked on a farm growing rape seed in Germany and once slept on the side of a rape seed field outside Malmo, Sweden on summer solstice night, a very short night.

I've also noticed a movement renaming to canola seed. Yeah, some people need a new name for everything.

This is exactly why "democracy" and "capitalism" are impossible to fully exist side by side. Capitalism rules necessarily destroy democracy because its basis is the accumulation of money and power by a few. On the other hand, perfect democracy will give people the power to remove the money privilege of the few through taxes and policies (the founding founders already knew this). The idea that we have democracy in a capitalist system is the peak of stupidity, because people are deceiving themselves about being free, when in fact they're just doing the bidding of the super rich.

ONNX Runtime needed a good demo application in Java and this was fun to do (I maintain the Java API for ONNX Runtime and wrote this SD implementation). I've added SDv2 and SDXL support (and the turbo variants thereof) after the initial release, and I'll upgrade it to the latest ONNX Runtime when that comes out to get FP16 support among other things.

I stumbled upon these endless pots by chance after looking at options to do something like this for years. I have experimented with optical mice sensors, thought about hall effect sensors and IMUs.
These pots do everything I wished for. Like I said in another comment, I think it's at a point where timing/MIDI bandwidth is factoring in more than the resolution.
And yeah, the reason why I never picked up a higher resolution encoder was just the price.
Hey there, very nice project!

A couple of bits: 'course' -> 'coarse' and the reason you don't get the same feel from digital is simply because of the digitization itself, if the steps are large then there is always some movement that isn't enough for a whole step, rather than that it doesn't max out the full range.

Looking forward to more of your posts.
