I've started using TW in the past days with the goal of setting up a cookbook + meal planner with nutritional values computes from the ingredients.

It feels very malleable/hackable, I'm happy with my progress so far, the biggest annoyance is that as far as I can tell the JavaScript API is not documented anywhere.

Initially I looked at Decker and LÖVE, but the former is not suitable for a phone screen and the latter isn't meant for UIs. I would have preferres a non-web solution but TW is a solid choice nonetheless.
Had quick look at home page above the fold. Messaging imo was quite clear until I saw the 'See rewards' button. Putting myself in the shoes of a potential buyer, I'm not interested in promoting your service, i want to learn more so i can decide if it's for me. Hope that helps and good luck.

Apple News+, Inkl, PressReader, (maybe more). Others if you want more magazine-focused subscriptions.
I took "own" here as "you have control over the entire stack". Seems like the idealized version of Garry's mod. Garry doesn't even own all the assets in Garry's Mod.

> So the problem is that the one button is buried under stacks and frameworks multiple layers deep. Is it a failure of management to consider a single button change an easy task when it should, in fact, be an easy task?

This is a great example. Why? Because you called out complexity. Specifically, that an engineering org should try to minimize complexity. And yet, the framework for adding a button is immensely complex. Why? Because management wanted a "complexity" aspect for the button framework project. Without the "complexity" aspect, the engineer on it wouldn't get a promo and management wouldn't get additional headcount for their own promo.

> And the guy that they fired (possibly for good cause)

Likely fired to serve a stack rank. Someone had to fall at the bottom in Q2 2022. Unfortunately their exact context and expertise is required in Q2 2024 and the backfill just doesn't have 5 years with our complex button framework yet.

I am sorry. Devs cannot be blamed for poor management practices such as "complexity" and "stack ranking".
TIL! I’ve been on HN for 14 years and had no idea you could do this. Thanks!
All meetings should start at a time ending in 5 on the minutes side. Eg. 10:35 is a valid start time.

All meetings should end at a time ending in 0 minutes. Eg. 10:30 is a valid end time.

Everyone needs some time for composure (travel time, bathroom, drinks etc.), sometimes you just have to run the last meeting a few mins over. By starting on the *5 and setting that as the start time on the calendar you give yourself this time. This is especially true at senior levels where you have strings of back to back meetings. The expectation is then set. You show up at 10:35 precisely and no one’s waiting 5 mins.

You'll find yourself choosing between getting "your" work done and doing everything else on the list. It's important to accept that enabling everyone else is part of your job. In my experience, code review is the single most important thing you can do to mentor your team, maintain your code quality, and monitor your progress.

A daily standup ensures that no one spins their wheels for more than a day without giving you a chance to do something about it, which is really helpful for a junior team. However, remember that this meeting is for surfacing issues, not for solving them. Schedule follow-ups with the people who need it and let everyone else get back to work.

Document things when you get tired of answering the same question repeatedly. Focus on ROI, not some higher principle of best practice. You can get a lot of mileage out of conventions and tribal knowledge.
Hi OP,

I'm the author of AltTab (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/), a popular window switcher for macOS, imitating Windows famous alt+tab shortcut. I know for a fact how hard it is to implement what you did. It looks very nice, well done!

I see you ran into the issue of not being able to detect windows from other Spaces. Apple introduced it in macOS 12.2. If you're curious, you can see the vast efforts we've deployed trying to find a workaround: https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/1324. I wish some retro-engineering genius would solve this. We haven't been lucky so far. Of course Apple could fix this all in an instant with a new API, but that's very unlikely to happen.

Thank you

I found a tool named [Lossless Audio Checker](https://losslessaudiochecker.com) : "A utility to check whether a WAVE or FLAC file is truly lossless or not".

I was so sad that this project is not open-source but their Research papers give some interesting clues about detecting bad quality files.

On my side, I used it through a [Bash script](https://gist.github.com/madeindjs/d5e3949313b141f2e5eea62b98...) to detect bad files in my library. The tool produces a lot of false positives since it triggered on some High Res audio musics I bought on Qobuz.
A step in the right direction!

They have operational models with statistical failures included so they understand what the interception and failure probabilities likely are for each item at component level. You can design that into a system and test for it.

I think it has less to do with social barriers and more to do with carelessness. Parents will give their kids video game console and tablets without thinking to turn on any sort of parental controls. Additionally there are any number of YouTube videos that easily findable without any actual effort that will show you the entire Robux purchasing process which means children who you would think might be to young to figure out the process end up figuring out the process. Finally, a lot of people don't go over there CC bill unless things look really out of sorts.

I don't think this is a major break down of society type of thing, more of something modern parents need to be aware of since making a lot of ill advised app purchases seems to be becoming one of those things all children end up doing at least once before being taught not to (or finding out the consequences of disobeying).
No, it's not. The problem is that for many people, getting a good experience on macOS requires buying various apps like this one to fix up the OS.

I dunno, it seems more like there should be a user-configurable setting to hide/show paywalled content.

If you're looking for something, and it's only available behind a paywall (even a paywall you pay for!), how are you going to find it if it's not indexed?
It doesn't seem that this approach "knows" the actual music. The article doesn't seem to explain how track embedding vectors are produced, but it mentions that user-action signals are of the same length, which makes me doubt track embeddings have any content-derived (rather than metadata-derived) information. Maybe I'm wrong, of course.

I doubt that any recommendation system is capable of providing meaningful results in absence of the "awareness" about the actual content (be it music, books, movies or anything else) of what it's meant to recommend.

It's like a deaf DJ that uses the charts data to decide what to play, guessing and incorporating listeners' profiles/wishes. It's better than a deaf DJ who just picks whatever's popular without any context (or going by genre only), but it's not exactly what one looks forward to when looking for a recommendation.

Weird, it seems to me the exact opposite is true. More and more people are spending longer periods in coffee shops and treating them as offices.
Another way to jam would be to spoof being a tower. The cell phones would uselessly connect to the school tower. Since phones transmit their location, the spoofer could "geofence".

> There are massive avenues of scientific research which rely on a fully-assimilated and reconciled, corrected, consistent analysis of atmospheric conditions.

That’s a good point! In fact, the outputs for observation based foundational models will likely include a "reanalysis-like" step for the final output.

Regarding the next 6-12 months, we will be integrating our data with traditional NWP models and utilizing AI for forecasting. We've developed a compact AI model that can directly assimilate our "ground truth" data with reanalysis, specifically for use in AI forecasting models.

Once we have hundreds of systems deployed, we'll use the collected observations, combined with historical publicly available data, to train a foundational model that will directly predict specific variables based on raw observations.

Teaching me technical terms required to learn solutions to problems.

Something I've found over the years is the vast majority of stuff is easy to do and easy to learn. The hard part is finding the correct language to use to describe the problem or the solution that you are after. ChatGPT is great for this. I can ask it roughly in lamens terms from a descriptor of something and get the technical terms that let me research a solution 10x quicker than if I just googled my way around the interwebs blindly.

I also use it for writing the general bulk of an email. Ill run through and correct it/rewrite it a bit in my own words but it gets the ball rolling and is great for giving ideas on structure rather than content.

Google did to AI what Bell did to magnetic recording: retarded it's progress for decades because they were afraid it would harm their main product.

For those that don't know:

>In early 1934, Clarence Hickman, a Bell Labs engineer, had a secret machine, about six feet tall, standing in his office. It was a device without equal in the world, decades ahead of its time. If you called and there was no answer on the phone line to which Hickman’s invention was connected, the machine would beep and a recording device would come on allowing the caller to leave a message.

>Soon after Hickman had demonstrated his invention, AT&T ordered the Labs to cease all research into magnetic storage, and Hickman’s research was suppressed and concealed for more than sixty years, coming to light only when the historian Mark Clark came across Hickman’s laboratory notebook in the Bell archives.

>AT&T firmly believed that the answering machine, and its magnetic tapes, would lead the public to abandon the telephone.

I'm a little torn on how I feel towards the Cardinal project. It claims not to be a fork on a technicality. It brings some improvements certainly and VCV dev has felt stagnant the last couple years, but it's also a little uncomfortably (to me) ideologically trying to GPL VCV. At least they are transparent about it. I like their community presence. I wonder if most users of Cardinal are aware how much of what they appreciate is the work upstream. A lot of value is lost to not have access to all of VCV's free-but-not-GPL modules, but the gap is shrinking.

> A PXE-compatible client sends a DHCP request on boot, to which the network's DHCP server responds with the IP address of a server to netboot from.

Specifically there are particular DHCP options (66, 67) that tell the client about this, and the client software (PXE) understands them:

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2132

* https://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters/bootp...

* https://www.iana.org/assignments/dhcpv6-parameters/dhcpv6-pa... (RFC 5970)

And while the options previously were interpreted for TFTP use, newer PXE software now understands the use of "http[s]://" in the file name and use that instead of TFTP.

That’s not deterministic. Also I’m not going to get into a debate on free will and determinism.
Note: While none of the Annex 2 countries that are signatories have conducted tests since 1996; the treaty never took effect because it was never ratified by all the required countries. Most notably the US, China, and Russia (although all three signed). In 2023 Russia officially withdrew, allegedly based on the US non-ratification. At least one political candidate for the presidency in the US has advocated for resuming testing. It is not inconceivable that testing could resume in the near future.

Opinion: I don't think the US would if Russia or China didn't first. China likely won't for the same reason the US doesn't need to: they have super-computers and the sims line up with the data from prior tests. Russia might however if only to saber rattle, although they likely don't need to either. Russia however is likely not in any hurry to have a test failure right now. So while testing could resume, I wouldn't put money on it.
> Can you write an Either<> or a Parser<> (2- and 1-case enums respectively) which is driven by the known-and-loved ?, !, and ?? - or did the language designers keep that for themselves?

https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-pr...:

“Although you can define custom operators that contain a question mark (?), they can’t consist of a single question mark character only. Additionally, although operators can contain an exclamation point (!), postfix operators can’t begin with either a question mark or an exclamation point.

Note

The tokens =, ->, //, /, /, ., the prefix operators <, &, and ?, the infix operator ?, and the postfix operators >, !, and ? are reserved. These tokens can’t be overloaded, nor can they be used as custom operators.”

So, you can’t use the same operator names. I would think you can implement them using different names, though.

> The new guidance platform also added a gyrocompass under the alignment block, a special compass that could precisely align itself to North by precessing against the Earth's rotation. At first, the gyrocompass was used as a backup check against the autocollimator, but eventually the gyrocompass became the primary alignment. For calibration, the alignment block also includes electrolytic bubble levels to position the stable platform in known orientations with respect to local gravity.

Had never heard of gyrocompasses before. I worked on a small robot in the past and remember having to calibrate the magnetic compass, which was not very accurate (similar to smartphone compasses). I never thought about how they’d get super precise headings for ICBMs.

The Encyclopedia Britannica article on gyrocompasses is really good. Here it explains why you can’t use a gyrocompass on a vehicle on fast aircraft (and I guess small robots that are jostled around a lot):

> A major contribution by Schuler was the discovery that, when the period of oscillation is 2π√(Earth radius/gravity), the heading precession of the gyroscope spin-axis due to acceleration is exactly the rate of change of the angle between the apparent and true meridians seen on a moving vehicle. The gyrocompass will then read true north at all times if its indicating reference is offset by the angle between these two meridians. The angle, at ship speeds, is a direct function of the north-south speed and is easily set into the system. The need for accurate speed measurement for this offset is the main reason why a gyrocompass is not practical for use in aircraft.

You haven't produced an iota of evidence to support your claims as being facts.

It's almost like such decisions aren't made based on a single binary argument, but on a lot of different factors. Sure, I could live closer to work. I'd be paying more for a smaller house, worse schools, more local traffic, more noise, neighbors that are a little closer than comfortable. But yes, then I'd be able to get on the bus and ride it to work instead of using my car. I doubt I'd be more productive though because my sleep quality will suffer, I'll have more stress dealing with things like getting the kids to school, or worrying if my car is going to get broken into or hit-and-run while it's parked on the street. Instead of being able to take a short 10 minute break to read to the kids, or to help cook lunch or dinner, I'll just wander down to the cafeteria and make myself some cheap tea and grab a granola bar. Sure, I don't get to see the kids as much, and my partner can't work full-time hours anymore because I'm not there to help, but at least the bus stop's right there eh?

And perhaps I don't really care to be as productive as possible for your definition of productive. I don't live to work, I work so I can live how I want. Somehow, I've managed to still have a job; In my time I have seen plenty of 'productivity maximalists' come and go.
