Another slap on the wrist. The FTC may well be totally killed off by the incoming administration, but as it is, they're so toothless they probably won't be missed much.
The people saying the laptop doesn't matter are the same ones who believed the MSM story that it was Russian disinfo for 3.5 years.

They won't allow themselves to think it's important because that's an open admission (to themselves and others) of how thoroughly brainwashed they've become by trusting the MSM left-wing perspectives on every issue.
Good lord what a horrible recommendation. This is like telling someone to learn programming by starting with assembly.

If you want to actually learn subtractive synthesis minus the complexity use an all in one synth VST like Surge which is free and open source and you won't have to worry about tedious fundamentals that don't actually matter unless you're doing modular synthesis. Helm is another great VST.

Once you understand subtractive you can graduate to more complicated methods of synthesis like FM, vector, ETC.
I work in a support role, so most often just various frontend web frameworks that our customers use (Next, Astro, Svelte, etc.). Occasionally basic node scripts. Rarely, I also interact with dev instances of our backend in Ruby inside Docker containers.

In the past, at other jobs, we've had Java backends (IntelliJ), PHP (PHPStorm), etc.

They have a standalone IDEs for many specific languages, or IntellIJ Ultimate (the Java one) can also handle a bunch of other languages via official language handler plugins.

But what makes the IDE truly awesome isn't just the basic language support (which VScode also has) but extensive refactoring, built in visual git and a great three-way diff engine, built-in database browser and table viewer and query editor and analyzer, visual diagrammers, test frameworks, debugger, various services and monitors... too much to list. A lot of those things are available in VScode too, but only through plugins of various quality and pricing. It's all built into Jetbrains, in one subscription. And if you ever stop a subscription, you keep the last licensed version you paid for forever (just without further upgrades). And you get a 40% loyalty discount if you subscribe as an individual after a year or two (forget exactly how long).

It's just incredibly helpful software at a very fair price point.
rave != club

IMHO, "raves" are, or were, underground, unsanctioned, and generally illegal, whereas "clubs" are typically licensed and legal - in other words, expensive and lame. I went to raves back in the early-90s, and I can tell you, it was nothing like dance clubs of the last 10 years.

TFA: The 'Forever Chemical' in European Mineral Waters
If you watched local LA TV last night, you saw houses burning both in Pacific Palisades and in Altadena with no firefighters in sight. You saw Leann Suter or whoever standing there in a deserted neighborhood, with one or more houses gently going up in flames. There were mandatory evacuations, but Leann seemed to be doing alright.

The firefighters did excellent work, and yet overall the situation was not acceptable, is not acceptable.

My prediction: There will be calls for the reinstitution of voluntary fire brigades to work alongside the professionals. If even 10% fewer houses were burned down, it would be well worth it.

> And finally electronic music of various forms used to be a niche, and now it's mainstream.

I think this is definitely the biggest reason.

The average YouTube video probably has serious electronic music going for it.

Back in the '80s and '90s you felt rebellious listening to that stuff. Now it's so common it borders on proverbial.

I'd probably go to a public venue that plays 90s and 2000s electronic music but for me it would be the equivalent of my boomer mom going to a Fleetwood Mac concert in the '90s. Just more nostalgia than a desire to relive the rave days. There's no way I could dance the way I used to in the '90s. There would need to be seating there for my old Xennial butt.

I'd prefer slightly higher resolution too, but for coding work (especially for my aging eyes) 1080p is actually fine. It's actually really hard to find portable monitors of this size. Maybe there just isn't a market for an even more expensive non-1080p one...? If you do find one, please let me know.

CSS Zero: opinionated CSS starter kit for your "nobuild" application
Apple is a hardware product driven company that pulls customers into their ecosystem. There has not been revolutionary products introduced (like iPhone) in a long while. They mostly riffed off of concepts that came out of PARC and there aren't many more things to do from there - e.g. tablets were conceptualized there are now are common place consumer items.

AI could be revolutionary but its not a product by itself, its more like internet search back in the day. Now every web product has a search bar, but search is not the actual consumer product. The features Apple has advertised as leveraging AI are not groundbreaking or life changing. Apple's AI features are things that would save me literally seconds. I think their UX designs (which are good) make it hard for consumers to need AI to help them.
It's a crapshoot to make Ubisoft games to work on Windows desktop PC already.

Having your home page be just a login button is a bit disappointing.

There's no screenshots and no information about how it works (or information at all for that matter), which doesn't really convince me to create an account (in my mind, the process of picking a deck and printing it is not one where requiring a login would be obvious, so some more "convincing" might help).

I don't want to sound mean-spirited, but I'd guess many people would similarly refrain from creating an account for the reasons mentioned above.

Fair point, I'll change (only after outing myself as somebody who pays more attention to writers than physicists)!
It may well be that for some worst case instances of SAT/SMT that there is no parallel algorithm to solve them faster than a sequential algorithm unless P==NP.

But most people who are not complexity theorists (or perhaps cryptographers) are not generally interested in worst case instances, but are instead interested in solving practical problems which are often not (or even-- are practically never) worst case instances.

My own experience w/ real SMT problems is that I can usually home-brew a fair amount of parallelism by fixing some variables and then solving the derived problems w/ Z3 on each core. But the result often has fairly poor load distribution (e.g. some threads finish long before others), so it could obviously be done better by software the changes the variable its parallel on and how it distributes those variables adaptively as it goes.
It’s made worse by the fact that the search is strictly awful.
Fair point. Although I wasn’t thinking about the utility of primary/high school in relation with CS. For instance, I studied (I believe) over 6 years english (probably more) in primary/high school. I couldn’t maintain a conversation with a native speaker when I finished high school. Had to study it by myself during uni (thanks Youtube!).

Same goes for chemistry for example. Can’t recall much tbh. My point is that primary/high school could be way more efficient.

The internet doesn't change "location location location" that much. It doesn't change weather, or scenery, physical entertainment options, in-person social opportunities, or backyards and amenities.

It's also created big windfalls - due to easy distribution/sales for online stuff - for more than enough people to drive up prices in many of the most-already-in-demand regions.

Ye olde rich person historically has traditionally addressed the "there are different pros/cons to the city than rurally" dilemma by having multiple properties.

Not true in New York, where this particular trial took place. From your own link:

S 380.30 Time for pronouncing sentence.

In general. Sentence must be pronounced without unreasonable delay.
Court to fix time. Upon entering a conviction the court must:
(a) Fix a date for pronouncing sentence; or
(b) Fix a date for one of the pre-sentence proceedings specified in article four hundred; or
(c) Pronounce sentence on the date the conviction is entered in accordance with the provisions of subdivision three.

So not only is sentencing distinct from conviction semantically, it's also distinct legally in the state of New York.
Then maybe 18 months wasn't too long and they should have been given more time. But seriously?

... "compute per rack unit" ?
I'm 40 and as far as I can tell, I can concentrate just as well now as I did when I was 20. I'm also pretty deliberate with what I do in life, I don't engage in "mass social media" like FB/Twitter/etc. , I don't use YouTube, Tiktok, etc.. .. I mean, I will view something if someone sends a link, but I don't "browse" stuff (partly because browsing literally anything feels like I'm being manipulated and I'm pretty sensitive to that). Sometimes I see someone using a modern social media app like FB, IG or whatever, and I cannot imagine that months and years of this kind of "scrolling endlessly, pausing on things that grab your attention, then resuming" is healthy for one's consciousness or focus. I think the summary is, I live my life the same way I did in 1999 or whatever, as I've found that works for me, and I have to basically actively reject what modern society tries to manipulate me into living like. (btw this is hard to do, EVERYONE and EVERYTHING wants me to be paying attention to millions of disparate trivial things, it's a literal nonstop battle...)
No, it makes it more desirable for older people who don't want raves down the block, and who also have more money, increasing the RE prices. The average age goes up, the number of interesting energetic people goes down, and the city becomes a cultural desert with high RE prices. Yes, that's an equilibrium, but Adam Smith's invisible hand just gave you a shitty city and undercut cultural innovation.

I think mashing up of names happens a lot, since they are not common words. Personally I don't see what the problem is of your name being mangled in a parsed resume, other than when it would look offensive. The name mangling can get easily cleared up after first contact with a real person.
That's all very analogous to software compilers, but doesn't really answer the question I had.

Specifically for Tiny Tapeout, how much is there to be gained by going low level? I feel like using a subset of verilog features might get you most of the way there.

Consider that there is a 512 byte BASIC interpreter in asm, that's well beyond what a compiler could manage. I would expect logic expressions in verilog to get closer to a hand crafted approach than that, but I might be wrong.
Oh yeah that's sure, i wasn't trying to diminish the content, the opposite. as in, it was so complex and out of what i expected that i was lucky to have a library that could solve it for me

I'm also a middle aged programmer and I don't think parent's observation is really about age per se.

Rather: we of a certain age grew up in a world before the optimized dopamine reward cycle of social media, and when the news / politics / outrage loops were far less potent. We could focus more because... well... we weren't being distracted to death.

Maintaining deep focus in the face of this onslaught is a skill I feel like people of all ages need to curate.
Honestly either should be more than possible to do, although not sure how beneficial. It would certainly be very funny if Zig compiler would be implemented in Rust and, simultaneously, Rust compiler would be written in Zig

> My son bristles at "healthcare" as a word consistently used for abortion and transgender medicine

In terms of cost, the items you cite are vanishingly small, and to conflate the two, one must have no experience of the medical system beyond twitter.

Is your son on his own? Did he have to pay the cost for a broken limb or a child's disease, or has he seen a family member go through a cancer? Maybe he would have a better sense of what "healthcare" means if he had actually been facing these situations.

First time I have ever heard someone say my Minimoog, OB8, Prophet and modular synths weren't synthesis.

ADSR is subtractive even if you ignore the filter.

The (ideal) square wave contains the odd-integer harmonic frequencies, where the (ideal) sawtooth has all harmonic frequencies.

I think starting in the digital world may make this less clear?

You are subtracting overtones from a non-sinusoidal set, the sound synthesis in subtractive synths is the more like choosing digits to construct a representable number.

Additive synths are actually far more restricted...remember that the set of computable numbers is not quite as small as the cantor set, but is getting there.
Lots of interesting personal stories and anecdotes in the comments. I was wondering what the average case would be, though, as I don't think many people, myself included, will be far from the average.

> Why do you think that game developers have some nefarious reasons for this and want to usurp your computer?

Because that is what they do. They think we are all potential cheaters who need to be preemptively stopped and controlled lest we crack their games open. They feel absolutely justified in doing whatever it takes to "ensure" their precious games aren't "tampered with". There are no limits they wouldn't cross.

It's just what I've come to expect from the copyright industry as a whole. Our computers already come pwned straight off the factory just to appease "content creators". We really don't need game companies making the situation even worse.

> To what ends?

It doesn't matter. The result is we have to install their rootkits to play games we paid for. There are no excuses for that.

> many multiplayer games couldn’t really exist in their current form

Not a big deal. Maintaining control over our machines is more important. If that's the price I'll pay it gladly.

> How can cheaters bypass the anticheat root kits and still play onlie?

You'd have to ask them. I'm far from an expert on the subject. I just know that whatever it is that they do no doubt leads to their customers having to put up with a lot less game company malware than they would have needed to otherwise.

Not a lawyer but I expect it would be on prosecution to convince a jury that they had failed to make "a disclosure of any key to the protected information that is in his possession"

Setting yourself up for success in 2025 – by Irina Stanescu
I appreciate even more ideas to work with. A more "working" proof language sounds interesting. While I agree that Rocq is decidably not for a "working programmer," I've had a lot of fun working through the book "Software Foundations". Last night, I was able to formally prove the pumping lemma for regular languages, and that was very satisfying and enjoyable. Another reason I'm learning Rocq is due to my (largely uninformed) interest in homotopy type theory.
For me LA was spread across several courses (I was at Michigan in engineering too), and I never got enough internalization of when it was useful from these, sadly. It definitely seemed more useful that a lot of the higher level maths, like you imply.
Fair, my circles were a lot more the tech/finance/rich parents type. But yeah there's obviously a market for it.
It likely would be, just like any other business expense.
