Is it great? I've never liked it. It has downsides of assembly programming, like unnamed (but persistent) values stored in temporary "register" slot output pins, some additional own-goal downsides like "significant whitespace" of the positioning of wires and port output ordering, and all of the downsides of an oldschool scripting language like TCL, with terrible performance characteristics, buggy implementation, an editor that crashes pretty regularly in normal use, and incomplete documentation.

In the long history of Max, I can only think of a couple of things I've liked that were made with it, and they were both for Max for Live. I think the fact that they were made with Max was just incidental — it's the easiest way to add MIDI effects to Live.

(For anyone who answers with "but you can just write JavaScript now to do everything in it" — running MIDI events through its JS nodes defers the events to the non-timing-critical thread, ruining the timing of the MIDI events.)
Ah interesting. I had noticed my tinnitus would get worse when I had been sitting in silence for a while, especially with over-ear headphones to further dampen ambient sounds (ie album ran out and I was so preoccupied with coding I didn't put another on).

Fortunately mine is just at a mild annoyance level so far, but will try your trick.
It's easy to install. I used to have some fisher plugins, but gave up on those since none of them were really essential.

When I set up a new computer I can just install fish and starship prompt and I'm mostly done. My fish configuration file is just aliasing and sourcing configs from other software, it's been a while since I had to touch it.
You could make it more clear that it just generates the dump command; it doesn't attempt a connection.

1. Remove the "Generate" button.

2. Move the "Generated CLI Statement" to the right of the form as a second column (at least on wider screens).

3. Pre-fill the form with dummy data so that the generated statement does not start empty.

4. Immediately update the generated statement when someone edits any form field (with an aria-live region for accessibility).

5. Consider making the password field non-editable, or omitting it but leaving a password in the output.

6. Change "We do not store your credentials. Tasks are done in your browser" to "No data is saved. View source on GitHub." with a link to the source if you feel comfortable providing it.
All that just to typo copious too, sheesh. 15 second long HN comments hardly reflect the writing strength of putting arguments to an essay. Or I guess IRC (Internet Relay Chat) folks are illiterate.

Occasionally, simplicity comes in handy, for understanding what you're doing, and for moving fast.

CGI can be simpler than FastCGI. Which can be simpler than some huge automatic deployment system atop CI and Docker and containerization and Kubernetes and someone else's server pool a thousand miles away.

When I implemented the SCGI protocol (which is similar to FastCGI) for Racket, I intentionally made it work as both SCGI and CGI. The application code is the same for both backends, and the `scgi` package auto-detects which it should use. https://docs.racket-lang.org/scgi/

Of course in production you'll probably add layers atop this, but you could usually drop down to just running the CGI script on your laptop in some ad hoc debugging setup.

mmHg is, due to historical reasons, pretty well distributed, and hPa is also rather widely used. inHg appears to have way less penetration than feets for altitude or feet/minute for vertical speed (way inferior to meter/second IMHO).

It sounds like they're barricading themselves inside the office but in reality they are just exercising their local statutory rights.

Tree shaking was mostly a thing invented in the NodeJS ecosystem for websites to save transfer traffic and thus lead to faster page loads, as well as save a bit of RAM.

Even budget phones routinely have more than 4GB of RAM, and high-speed Internet access is the norm, so you can get away with a lot more inefficiency than just a few years ago.

I checked for some of my old emails in the list. As far as I can tell, "26B" is due to duplicates and fake data. There were dozens of entries for sites that were never registered for with passwords that were never used. I'd be surprised if it was less than 80% junk.
I don't know how else it would be possible but the article is not about people being laid off chaining themselves to theirs desks and refusing to leave the building. It's about google "suggesting" them to resign because the law does not allow them to be fired without cause. (This is the case in a lot places outside of the US).
Which post? Is the original articles yours? It doesn't mention anything I complained about. I don't see anything about the crashes, the bad performance, the bugs, the incomplete documentation, the design problems with the significant whitespace and unnamed values stored on output ports. I'm confused by what you've said.

Edit: I think you just meant your comment. I don't really see those things mentioned there, either.

Being a layman too, as I understand it, it's because the deafness is caused by a single (mutated) gene which makes it (comparatively) easy to change. In this case, because the altered gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene transfer therapy can introduce a normal copy of the gene to recover the function of the protein.

For other diseases caused like this you're mostly right on the money - sometimes because while a single gene might be the culprit, the mechanism is unknown, sometimes mutations in some ‘single-gene disorders’ may not be in a single-gene at all, not to even mention other possible interactions or the risks inherent to gene therapy.
Loved the canals when I lived in England (Leeds). I didn't narrowboat, but rode bike (including commute) on the canal sidewalks.

Canals tend to have wildish nature around them (quite rare in England) and they are digged totally flat (with a very subtle incline/decline, apart from waterlocks). They have decent sidewalks that make them ideal to bike along (quite rare in England). They are very long so you can have a daytrip to visit multiple towns. And they don't have cars (quite rare in England).

Canals are great!
> I only found out about narrowboats recently

They make excellent walking and biking routes. They are flat, no cars, often have a pub, wildlife is frequently visible and they are usually quiet.
Absolutely loves my time biking them in England.
It’s funny, because your claim that it’s a great indicator is contradicted by the article we’re discussing. Rust was widely considered to be “only pay for what you use” despite having 4MB hello world programs. And now that it’s 400KB that continues to be true. So in this case, 4MB wasn’t a good indicator was it?

> In software engineering you can test things in something on the order of seconds to minutes. Functions have fixed contracts which can be unit tested.

I think this only applies to a certain subset of software engineering, the one that rhymes with "tine of christmas".

Implementing bitstream formats is an area I'm very familiar with, and I dance when an issue takes seconds to resolve. Sometimes you need to physically haul a vendor's equipment to the lab. In broadcast we have this thing called "Interops" where tons of software and hardware vendors do just this, but in a more convention-esque style (actually is often done at actual conventions).
> You're just making up facts [...]

Here's objective facts and my experiences that I used to draw my conclusions.

My final Android phones were: [1] a Samsung A7 (2017), which included a non-replaceable battery, shipped with Android 6 (2015), officially supported Android 8 (2017; theoretical first-party security patches which it never received were offered until 2021), no longer receives updates even from LineageOS, and never ran postmarketOS; and [2] a Nokia 3 (2017), which had pretty much the same story (support ended on Android 9).

In 2019, someone gave me an old, smashed [3] iPhone 7 (2016), and the phone literally worked better than any Android phone I've owned before, including either of the two above. Since it was already physically falling apart, I took the liberty of getting [4] an iPhone SE (2020), which is still with me; the 7 continued to serve in the family for a couple more years.

I'm not a cultist, I'm a pragmatist. I used to believe in things - I had a [5] Jolla (2013) for the longest time, because I believed in Free Software and Open Source and all that stuff, until I realized suffering for your values is not necessarily the healthiest thing to do, and that freedom is not strictly a function of a software license, but of things the hardware+software enables you to do with it.

Income tax isn't there to get government an income, it's a surveillance tool. You have to write down how much money you earned, and HOW did you earn it, and sometimes even what things did you spend it on. People today are brainwashed to believe that it's OK for the government to know that, but when income tax was first introduced I believe that was one of the most common arguments against it: invading one's privacy.

>Europe just spent two decades funding the military force invading it right now by importing fossil fuels from its invader in great quantities.

Or, rather, spent decades doing pragmatic good deals for fossil fuels with a country whose resources could use to its benefits.

Then decided ("decided") to shoot itself in the foot by cutting them off, and be the useful idiot in the games between two countries and their proxy war, ignited after one recentlessly pushed to get its military bases to the other's borders.

>Now Europe is relying heavily on the US for both more fossil fuels and military support

The only reason Europe even asks for US military support is because European politicians, of the useless imbecilic kind that have been in power for the last 2-3 decades, are wined/dined/pushed around to do so (and to deal with the proxy wars the US pushes onto its lap).

There are ways for the matter on the moon to dissipate energy faster than moon dust. We could build a moon base for example. It doesn't do it.

In fact as far as we know - most of the space in the universe is doing the dissipation in a very inefficient way.

Which means the theory that it will do it simply because of the "selection pressure" is empirically wrong.

Let's say a huge asteroid sterilized Earth 100 years ago. What could the life do to outcompete that? Was it the result of this "selection pressure" that it didn't or was it simply result of starting conditions and gravity?

This theory seems to provide almost no predictive value it just takes a thing that happened once and makes a story about how it had to happen.

I concur. The Innocence Project and the CIFS are terrific organization. They are actively and effectively addressing flaws in a system that too often proves unjust to innocent citizens. They deserve all support and funding possible.

Until I was facing justice myself [1], I wrongly believed wrongful convictions were an extreme rarity. I actually discovered that innocent individuals are imprisoned every day, partly due to unreliable pseudo-scientific forensic methods [2]. I'm totally perplexed by society's apparent acceptance (or ignorance) of notable error rates in criminal convictions [3]. Why isn't it a major national cause already?

The end justifies the means is a paraphrase of Niccolò Machiavelli.

The idea that the “desired result” is so necessary and so important that any method, even a morally “bad one,” may be used to achieve it, seems very popular.

People lap up what they perceive to be justice against the machine, but it’s the system creating the problem in the first place.

That is to say the focus shouldn’t be on activist investors waging a war on change from the outside, but a popular defunding of companies that can’t responsibly deliver products from the demand side, and “the system” doesn’t want you to know that’s how to change it.

So we get fantasies of caped justice with appended hedge fund quality wealth and an appetite for morality and change, which of course is wishing for the very people who maintain the system to become the change: unlikely.

But then again it was the very same author who wrote:

> A man who is used to acting in one way never changes; he must come to ruin when the times, in changing, no longer are in harmony with his ways.
