Personally I think most C-levels are sociopaths. The good ones have learned how to fake empathy and compassion, but they will have no trouble switching that off and showing their true colors.

I say that because I have yet to reconcile how any good person could step up to run a business in a world where the sociopaths almost always win.

Good people cannot fake being evil, but evil can fake being good. Consequently, good people have an inherent disadvantage that will lose in the marketplace when faced with evil adversaries.
People have linked some cheap app things, which may work, but the real deal stuff is something like a Trinnov rack unit, or Neumanns DSP room correction system, which is what I use. Both are somewhat pricey, but this stuff isn’t audiophile junk, it’s meant for studios that really need the room to get out of the way, and it’s usually paired with quite a bit of treatment. The difference is insane. It’s not like a “this one has a tiny bit more sparkle” difference, it’s a +-15db at a couple of points in the low end kind of difference.

Someone also linked RoomEQWizard, which is an awesome tool, but dialling in a flat sound with it using just an EQ is going to send you to phase hell, and you’ll also need a halfway decent measurement microphone to get the most of it.

The real shame is that PSTN lines continued to be installed through decades, despite ISDN existence.

It is incredibly slow and unstable. I spent literally weeks adding large (100gb library) into it. I had to add chunk by chunk. It was crashing constantly and process was so slow that I moved it to a separate machine. Then I tried to use web interface to search and it was super slow.

And I’m not even talking about non intuitive UI. For something that has supposed to be a library it’s nowhere near real library (alphabetical list of authors).

Last Piece of Advice for People with Severe Computer Eye Strain
Great ideas. Observations:

- Making remote calls seem like they are local resulted in poor design decisions, the benefit of SOAP/REST was that people considered what the interface a useful service should be.

- Why not flip it and look to move groups of microservices onto the same machine, updating how the app communicate.
- if component boundaries are fine grained, the combinations of local/remote services relative to each other increases, along with the testing burden; just because the system hides remote deploying, it still should be tested for.

- Incorporating this with storage, eg dynamic shard rebalancing would be super cool
I had previously toyed with the idea of marketing "organic" audiophile speaker cables. The ad copy would have been that the cables were harvested from veins of copper dragons that lived in faraway mountains. That the sound would be warmer and richer than ordinary, industrially produced artificial speaker cables, which tend to sound harsh.

> OK I posted that spinning off a portion of your manufacturing is bad, but I think your statement overstates the issue.

I was addressing the statement of "(...) selling the factory to a private-equity firm would let Boeing focus on final assembly (...)", which corresponds to outsourcing manufacturing of everything and anything used in a plane, up until the last step of the manufacturing process.

It's one thing to leverage existing third-party products in your own product line. It's an entirely different thing to aim for an Ikea-like approach of buying everything and just put the thing together once you get all the parts.

I love all the anecdotes here. The mid-90s were a time of the creation, explosive growth, and decline and fall of the Internet Service Provider industry. Like many other people here, apparently, it was a big part of my life. I worked at three nascent ISPs, the third of which I started with a friend from college, and it was where I learned a ton about networking, sysadmin (FreeBSD), software development, handling customers, etc., that turned out to be foundational to my career decades later.

And I did have ISDN at my house for a time. (Bonded, blazing 128k!) We used the Centrex trick that was mentioned elsewhere in the comments.

> Rust is for people who stick around, can come over hurdles, can take in new concepts and see the overall benefits

Speaking as someone who is learning Rust and really liking it, I just want to note that this comment is sort of emblematic of what is wrong with the Rust community. It comes off as pretty condescending—"Rust is for the people who are smart and don't give up easily, if you're less smart or give up easily you should really go find a language for wimps".
Nope. Most farmers keep a 50gal tank in their truck bed replete with nozzle for fueling tractors etc. And a larger one on the farm, usually 50 to 400gal.
For those wanting to go down the self-extracting executable route, I recommend arx (it generates that sort of tarball-prepended-with-shell-script you describe) https://github.com/solidsnack/arx

The `nix bundle` command can generate an arx file, which includes all of an application's dependencies. As an example, we started getting issues with an EC2 server whose image was an accumulation of changes over several years; whilst we worked on migrating to a saner setup (containers defined using Nix), as a stop-gap we got the server working again by using `nix bundle` to create an arx executable containing working versions of all the application's dependencies, which we could copy to the existing server as a drop-in replacement of the existing (broken) command.
I’m from a hot place and moved to Calgary a couple of years ago.

I’ll never forget my first time driving in a cold snap like this. It was -35C and I forgot to plug in my gas powered car. It started the second time, but it drove so weirdly for half an hour. I think the various transmission fluids and lubricants must’ve been frozen or extra viscuous.

But at least it worked! Would not want to be stuck in the mountains in an EV unless it had a propane tank or 800km range or something.

Crystal 1.11.0 Is Released
Have you read the article? Children don't need to be eating in bed in order to soil sheets.
I disagree. When I google this I get content that mostly has an agenda. I’m not deep into this subject matter so I don’t know who to trust. On HN however, I get knowledgeable replies from people who enjoy this topic (thanks everyone!).

For extra context, I’m a Windows fan and I currently use a Surface Pro. I’d prefer to keep using Windows (even despite the ad/telemetry crap MS is pulling) but not if an M3 cuts my Elixir/webpack build times in half wrt a new & fast Windows laptop.

So no, nothing here was “masquerading” and you need to stop making such negative assumptions about people’s motivations.

The replies tell me the difference isn’t that big at all, which is great to know. Thing is, when the M1 was announced HN and twitter and other geek sites were absolutely plastered with stories about how impossibly much faster it was, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to wonder whether that’s still the case.
I am not OK with supporting someone getting paid 2-3 dollars a day for this labor and would prefer to not support that business model if I can.

I also dont trust those workers not to misuse or sell my information on the side because of the unfortunate financial situation they are in financially.

Its acutally a similar answer for why I dont pirate games or software. I dont want to support the behavior and I dont trust that something bad wont happen as a result (virus/malware/etc.)

Samsung has already announced that live translation of calls will be coming to their next phones:

> AI Live Translate Call will soon give users with the latest Galaxy AI phone a personal translator whenever they need it. Because it’s integrated into the native call feature, the hassle of having to use third-party apps is gone. Audio and text translations will appear in real-time as you speak, making calling someone who speaks another language about as simple as turning on closed captions when you stream a show. Because it’s on-device Galaxy AI, you can trust that no matter the scenario, private conversations never leave your phone.

Ask HN: What are some good food suff to have on hand when the power is out
Here I am in Central Texas and we are facing another, maybe, cold winter (This week is going to be a little unusually cold) and I would like to buy a few things to have on hand in the event that the power is off for a week again. The house here is all electric. We have a generator but it is mostly to keep refrigerator on (is this irony?) and run a little space heater for my elderly mother.

What sort of things can I get to make meals more interesting with maybe just hot water? Sandwiches, ramen noddles, oatmeal all come to mind but I am hoping for a few ideas that will seam more "We are going through a not cooking but eating well." phase and not "We are eating this way because the power is out." Any ideas?
> get access to data free from the priestly interpretations

I believe nowhere. I almost never see news media hotlink the source when we're talking about online events. In other cases that's copywriting or regurgitating news agencies' feeds... which you don't have access to, though they could be clusterized based on the ripple effect they cause (used by many outlets).

As for "talking to witnesses" there currently isn't a p2p social network for news. Where one could talk to any local on the planet about an event. There's a disconnect between those who produce news for a living and the witnesses. The latter have no interest in posting or talking about it online. Sometimes it is disincentivized (punishment and persecution like whistleblowing[1]).

So true. Just look at what became of Apple Computers, from the “bicycle for the mind” to lifestyle products for the consumption of social media.
Yeah, I can vouch for them too. Their premium service costs about as much as a Netflix sub which is good value. Pretty sure their lowest tier is decent too.

I believe it comes down to the much more efficient cooling processes, and the fact that you don't need to maintain as much input resource infrastructure as with gas

My experiences are driving mainly in California and New York. I definitely have not had the problems you’ve described and I wouldn’t consider drivers in either location to be very good in general. I’ve driven larger cars as well and they’ve never made me feel safer.

Edit: The more I think about it, I’m actually kind of confused by your point. Even assuming what you say is true, how does driving a larger car avoid the problem of people cutting you off anyway? Is your “solution” to drive a larger car and tailgate or something?
I have just folllowing this incompatibilities between platforms being Microsoft Windows first (and last).

My method for applying fitted sheets is to put the first corner of the sheet that I find onto any corner of the bed. Then try to add one of the adjacent corners to the bed. If I picked wrong, put the adjacent corner on the starting bed corner. I get it wrong half of the time, but I still think it's faster than spending time trying to determine which is the long side of the sheet (and often getting that wrong). In any case, the labels mentioned in the article would probably be better.
That's a rather gross way to live (not trying to dunk on you, this is my attempt at raising the level of awareness). I wash my duvet cover every other week. Clean bedding and sheets are one of the simple joys in life.

Dehydrated backpacker meals - These are lightweight, compact meals in a bag that you just add hot water to rehydrate. They come in lots of flavors like pasta primavera, chili, rice and chicken, etc.
Canned soups/chili - Stock up on cans of soup, chili, beef stew, etc. You can eat these cold if needed, but they're better warmed up.
Couscous - Couscous is very easy to make with just hot water. You can make it savory by adding in canned veggies, tuna, precooked chicken, or peanut butter for a Thai style couscous.
Quinoa - Cook quinoa in hot water and mix in canned beans, corn, peppers to make it a filling meal.
Steel cut oats - More hearty and filling than regular oats if you cook them in hot water overnight in a thermos or insulated container. Top with dried fruit, nuts, cinnamon.
Rice and beans - Canned beans, minute rice or precooked rice and seasonings make a nutritious, filling meal.
Ramen - Jazz up instant ramen by adding frozen mixed veggies once the water is hot. Scramble in some eggs too.
Hot cereal - Packets of plain instant oatmeal, cream of wheat or grits are good to have on hand.

> The general thoughts that went into the overall plan in designing this room was to accommodate not only audio but video. The acoustic plan was to eliminate as many parallel surfaces as possible. The side walls are skewed out by 2” from front to back to help reduce slap echos. Both the front and the back of the room incorporate a curve design that would help scatter sound. I replicated the ceiling design from a concert hall in Osaka, Japan. The ceiling to floor dimension at the front of the room, 11.5 feet, expanded in five different planes to 17.5 feet at the rear of the room.

> Acoustic testing was then done by a Richmond company, “Acoustics First”. ETF measurements were taken and sound panels were then designed according to a patented algorithm. The panels were then built by Owens Corning according to prescribed specification.
Maybe it should be too-expensive to achieve. I'm sitting her absolutely baffled at the scale of these numbers I'm seeing on this thread. I'd rather tell the other side of the world (both really) to just suck it up and pay for sustainable ways to transport this stuff. The era of "cheap" transport needs to stop and we absolutely have to find alternatives.

"The purpose of this paper is to describe and explain some highlights associated with the contemporary business practice of out-sourcing more and more of a companies’ activities in the belief that doing so will increase profitability. A strong case is made that it will not always be possible to make more and more profit out of less and less product and that, worse, there is a strong risk of going out of business directly as a result of this policy. The point is made that not only is the work out-sourced; all of the profits associated with the work are out-sourced, too. The history of the former Douglas Aircraft Company is cited as a clear indication of what these policies have done – and as a warning of what more may be done. The subcontractors on the DC-10 made all of the profits; the prime manufacturer absorbed all of the over-runs. The circumstances under which out-sourcing can be beneficial are also explained. They involve better access to improved facilities with which to make more precise detail parts to reduce the cost of final assembly. A strong warning is included about the perils of sub-optimum solutions in which individual costs are minimized in isolation."
FWIW, at least some of the small- and medium-size Ruckus switches are fanless or can be set to run in a mostly fanless mode. Doing the latter may limit the available PoE output.

Also, eBay is coming up with plenty of reasonably priced Dell -ON switches and some very very cheap EdgeCore gear, but they might be old models and don’t appear on the Pica8 hardware compatibility list. Sigh.
If inference costs keep going down, I expect pirate LLMs trained on pirated and much more complete text libraries will proliferate.
Zinc Search
You can create new projects in C++, you can't create new projects using UI Cocoa, UIKit, or SwiftUI in C++ because those APIs are not in C++, because C++ is generally bad as a language for APIs where ABI stability is important, but also seems to be particularly bad as a language for UI programming in general. The specific combination you get in Cocoa and UIKit is dynamic binding (requiring reflection) and developer subclassing of UI objects (causing aforementioned brittle ABI problems).

But Xcode does not care about exactly what your project is, and those are just starting templates. Most projects I have ever worked on are combination C++ and (UI language).

To me, you're using a very weird definition of what 1st class language support is. C++ is extremely heavily used, developed, and in invested in by Apple, and Xcode has extremely good and maintained support for it. It is not the language used for UI toolkits because C++ has proven to be bad at that task. Not applying the "everything is a nail" mentality to the C++ hammer is not "not a 1st class language" it's acknowledging one of the major deficiencies in the language.

Your final 'Apple documentation has the sentence: "Swift is intended as a replacement for C-based languages (C, C++, and Objective-C)."' comment is certainly reflective of what I think some people want, but the fact that the article itself is on the topic of Apple working on interop between C++ and Swift should be a pretty good indication that C++ support is such high priority that swift is the only language working towards full interop with native C++. rust, go, etc all just say "write a C bridge", the MS story is managed C++, etc.

Maybe in the future C++ won't be first class on the platform (probably good from safety PoV for all platforms), but that's not any time in the near future.
