One of the commonly extolled virtues of playing vinyl is that you're "just playing records." As in, not using any fancy effects and tricks. For a lot of people, this is enough, and it's mostly about your music collection and song selection. If you're really good at vinyl, you're not doing much most of the time either and you can dance around and dig through records. Nothing about this needs to change when switching to CDJs.

People get hung up on all this stuff that has very little to do with what matters most at the end of the day, which is the sound coming out of the speakers, and the experience of the audience (which I will grant that the visual aspect of watching the performer is a part of). Deadmau5 talks about stuff like this...basically everyone at a major festival is playing a prerecorded set so that visuals and lights and the rest of the show can be synced up. It doesn't matter what tools you use or how much work you're doing as long as people are entertained. It's about putting on the best show you can.

Jeff Mills is a God-like legend, of course your average local DJ isn't going to compare. It is a bit like being a real estate agent in that the barrier to entry is super low now but you still have to be skilled in some way or another to be really successful.
You've also got the mess in Tamil Nadu as well. Despite having two left-wing parties, it's still got one party that Hindus vote for, and another party that Muslims/Christians vote for.
What actually prevents JSON from being used in these spaces? It seems to me that any XML structure can be represented in JSON. Personally, I've yet to come across an XML document I didn't wish was JSON, but perhaps in spaces I haven't worked with, it exists.

This is incorrect. An important case is Marsh vs Alabama. [1]

A person was distributing fliers in a 'company town.' Company towns were essentially privately owned 'towns' on privately owned property. They were told to stop and leave, they refused, and were arrested for trespass. The case eventually made its way to the Supreme Court where it was thrown out. Wiki has a pretty nice synopsis of the critical point:

---

The state had attempted to analogize the town's rights to the rights of homeowners to regulate the conduct of guests in their home. The Court rejected that contention by noting that ownership "does not always mean absolute dominion". The court pointed out that the more an owner opens his property up to the public in general, the more his rights are circumscribed by the statutory and constitutional rights of those who are invited in.

---

That's unlikely to matter here but it's an important nuance to the 1st Amendment. It's also important for the future because it will, sooner or later, likely end up applying to social media companies who are doing everything they can frame themselves as a digital 'public square' for speech.

If a and b are equal* (not just 1). A circle is a special case of ellipse where a and b are equal and the eccentricity is 0. This is the same principle.
"Interesting" describes a person's reaction to a story, not a property of the story. My software experience stories may interest you, they may not. They don't interest my wife at all.

The stories illustrate an experience and maybe thought process and challenges overcome. Whether that qualifies as "active learning" I can't say. I don't know of any other kind of learning, and I experience learning as a constant lifetime process.

I have found telling stories of challenges overcome useful in interviews. Told the right way such stories can give some insight into the candidate's character, curiosity, tenacity, and skill. I try to frame my experience in terms of business value rather than technical challenge, because companies hire and pay for solutions to business problems and want people who can solve those problems. Generally they don't need someone who once balanced a binary tree in a bash script.
It depends on the state as far as I understand it.

You need to be registered as a voter, which requires that you be a citizen. How that is enforced varies.

There are also ID requirements at the poll site. Again, those vary.

In every state I've lived in voting was in some way (optionally) tied to your driver's license. But the body issuing the license has always known whether or not I was a US citizen so it boils down to the same thing.

> I'm not sure the SEC would obviously have jurisdiction, since neither Twitter nor xAI were public companies.

The Securities and Exchange Commission deals with private securities, and also with public securities exchanges and the firms listed on them. Public firms have more oversight from the SEC, but private securities are not outside of their purview.

Isn't it also possible that it wasn't an artist at all, instead someone whose job was never illustrating scientific articles (like a manager or a random intern), who put the text in the prompt and went "that looks pretty sciency, good enough" and the person responsible for the publication went "great, we just got a sciency image and saved $XX!"

Yeah the intern is now an "artist" but I think lumping them together is muddling the discussion.

Fair enough. I will say that you do not need to explicitly say something for your line of argumentation to imply it as a logical consequence. I would stress that such a judgement (that the effort is pathetic) is not constructive. What we need right now are concrete, constructive, positive suggestions on how to make these efforts more effective. Value judgements like this, as much as they might make us feel better by giving us a claim to superiority, accomplish nothing.

My biggest problem with “zig build” is learning it. Mainly because it still changes from version to version, and having a clear picture of what steps are and how they interact is somehow hard for me.

Obviously I will overcome this, but unlike zig itself, the build file still feels like guesswork to me.
> “Frank Miller Jr. made threats against an MSG executive on social media and produced and sold merchandise that was offensive in nature,” Mikyl Cordova, executive vice president of communications and marketing for the company, said in an emailed statement.

If he made threats, what were the threats?

If he didn't make threats, does this written statement, from a communications executive, to a journalist, intended for news publication, constitute libel?
It’s explicit about following orders according to the UCMJ, and the UCMJ clearly defines what constitutes a lawful order that must be followed.

So, it’s transitive, but the enlisted oath is limited to lawful orders.
Many people can't accept new ideas about identity topics like sexuality. Today's trans panic is yesterday's fear of gays and the fear of women voting and school desegregation before that.

What’s that got to do with the court’s ruling that Tesla paid a fair price, which is what I said in my OP? This is the relevant part of the opinion:

> In instances where there are process infirmities, the Court is obliged to study fair price even more carefully. I have done that here. After careful consideration, I am persuaded Elon presented credible evidence that Tesla paid a fair price for SolarCity. Plaintiffs answered by proffering incredible testimony that SolarCity was insolvent, and then provided some “also ran” theories on value that their experts did not ultimately endorse, or at least not persuasively so. Given this, I have no credible basis in the evidence to conclude that a “fairer price” was available, and therefore, no basis to conclude that the price paid was not entirely fair. Indeed, the price was, in my view, not “near the low end of a range of fairness,” but “entirely” fair in the truest sense of the word.
This reminds me of an issue in vintage computer graphics. Say you have a game with some polygons happening, and they're nicely rendered in 3D perspective. You'd like to add some snazzy textures to them.

Here's a problem. The textures have to be put through a perspective projection. As in every pixel.

It's possible to cheat. You can simply use a bicubic stretch or even linear.
It really shows up when the polygons are large and they rotate to create deep perspective. You see an artifact whereby the center of the texture does not stay centered on the polygon as it rotates.

First, as people have pointed out you need a high likelihood that tariffs will be high for many years - advanced manufacturing costs a lot to setup and you can’t just build factories and hire skilled workers overnight.

Second, domestic manufacturers are aware of how much their competition charges. If a Taiwanese part costs $100, the domestic provider is going to charge $98, not $80.

As a guy with a lot of hours into Django, I will echo that I don’t quite understand the “why” here.

I think there’s a number of areas where Django falls a bit short and other web frameworks excel. For example, task workers are not first class citizens and require Celery or another task manager. REST APIs are a similar situation. Celery and Django REST are great, but they do feel a little ham handed. I’ve seen other frameworks handle this in ways that really seem to work great.

I guess auth is prioritized here? But I actually like the barebones Django auth and find it useful in many situations where I don’t need full OAuth.

I’m not saying this isn’t needed and it looks cool and nice - but for the use cases where I’ve struggled with Django, it seems like this would actually increase complexity, as the 3rd party ecosystem would obviously not be robust.

It looks like the author has a perfectly good workflow and use case for this, but it’s not clear from the homepage or the “about” page linked elsewhere in the comments exactly what this is for
I'm speaking in very general terms. The world's democracies have bureaucracies. On paper those bureaucracies are supposed to be responsible to and controlled by the elected government. In practice, they are too complicated, inscrutable and give the government too few knobs and levers, as well as two little visibility. Mainly they're interested in self-preservation.

Sure, there are statutes and chargers and oath sworn and whatever.
It's not at all a matter of fairness. It is a matter of might.
I have to admit I had a good chuckle at involving anything node.js in something as basic and bare metal infrastructure as "I need my UPS to talk to my hypervisors"

Next I'm sure we'll have something even more absurd like using an OpenAI API call to submit UPS voltage data every 60 seconds and ask an LLM for estimated run time remaining.

Also: If your software install method is trying to normalize and tell people "Yeah it's totally cool and fine" to curl something into sudo bash, please re-think what you're doing. Build it as a package for Debian and a few other distros through a generally accepted method and submit it for review, so that people can have some tiny level of confidence that this isn't just sudo'ing somebody's rootkit.
How does discussing the gear used by a dj get twisted into the perspective of the listener?

I also love how standing there in the Jesus pose or chicken heading with a raised fist is entertaining for the crowd. If you need the DJ to be a conductor to show you the drop, then you’re not a good music listener.

Sure, a vinyl DJ isn’t going to be jumping up and down next to the decks (unless the tables have been suspended from the ceiling), but watching a turtabilist run multiple decks while swapping dub plates will always be much more impressive and entertaining to me than someone tapping out a beat on a 12”x12” box with buttons.
Ask HN: What would you build with CyberIdentitySecurity.com?
I picked up the domain CyberIdentitySecurity.com a while ago, thinking I’d start a newsletter for IAM and cybersecurity content. But the idea feels kind of cliché and overcrowded now.

I’m still convinced there’s potential here — especially with growing interest in identity security, Zero Trust, passkeys, and adjacent topics.

Curious: If you owned this domain, what would you build or do with it?

IAM Fun fact - In the 1960s, MIT's Fernando Corbató introduced the first computer password to secure user files in the Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS). Ironically, one of the earliest documented password breaches occurred shortly after, when a researcher printed out the system's password file to gain extra computer time.
"Short" is perhaps relative. I know many people with hour+ commutes; they'll be wanting to plug in, presumably.

I guess I'm also just a low-key battery-life stresser. If I have the opportunity to plug in outside the home, with a charging cable readily in front of, me, I'm gonna do it... just in case.

I dunno, I still don't get it. Wireless anything is always going to be significantly less reliable than wired, and I've heard enough stories of wireless CarPlay/AA flaking out (with dongles and built-in setups) to turn me off on it.

Wireless is incredibly convenient when you don't have a wire and a port nearby, but that will essentially never be that case while you're in the car.

Europeans overestimate how bad the US healthcare system is, number 1.

Number 2, Americans have the most spending money on average compared to any other country in the world.

Number 3, the most important technology and cultural advancements come out of the US; the US is where its happening—in a city like New York you can get the best of anything in the world, and then some.

So no, Americans who make a lot of money live the best lives, and never want to leave. It takes some cahunas and some wits to make it in the US, not everyone can cut it.

Congress has the power to declare a war, which was supposed to prevent the Executive from taking any military action that was not purely defensive, without their approval. There was even a requirement about how long the President had to give an accounting to Congress about any action they did take. So yes, Congress was supposed to have the ability to "command" the military insomuch as they could choose whether the Executive could utilize them or not. Saying "no, you're not going to do that" is an authoritative command.

Hamilton, Washington, and Madison all separately wrote that Section 8's War Declaration clause was intended to be a substantial limit on the President's power. Even the small, mini-conflicts in the 1800s required Congressional approval to initiate, it wasn't until the 1950s that the Executive branch destroyed that check on Executive power.

"Ease" of doing business in India

Reminds me of Munger circa 2017:

‘Now you turn to India. And I would say, I’d rather work with a bunch of Chinese than I would the Indian civilization mired down, caste system, over-population, assimilated the worst stupidities of the democratic system, which by the way Lee Kuan Yew avoided, it’s hard to get anything done in India. And the bribes are just awful. So, all I can say is, it’s not going to be easy for India to follow the example of Lee Kuan Yew. I think that India will move ahead. But it is so defective as a get-ahead…the Indians I know are fabulous people. They’re just as talented as the Chinese, I’m speaking about the Indian populace. But the system and the poverty and the corruption and the crazy democratic thing where you let anybody who screams stop all progress? It mires India with problems that Lee Kuan Yew didn’t have. And I don’t think those Indian problems are always easy to fix. Let me give you an example.

The Korean steel company, POSCO, invented a new way of creating steel out of lousy iron ore and lousy coal. And there’s some province in India that has lots of lousy iron ore and lot of lousy coal. Which is there’s not much use for. And this one process would take their lousy iron ore and the coal and make a lot of steel. And they got a lot of cheap labor. So POSCO and India were made for each other. And they made a deal with the province to get together and use the POSCO know how and the India lousy iron ore and lousy coal. And 8 or 9 or 10 years later with everybody screaming and objecting and farmers lying down in the road, or whatever’s going on, they canceled the whole thing. In China they would have just done it.

Lee Kuan Yew would have done it in (Singapore). India is grossly defective because they’ve taken the worst aspects of our culture, allowing a whole bunch of idiots to scream and stop everything. And they copied it! And so they have taken the worst aspects of democracy and they forged their own chains and put them on themselves. And so no I do not like the prospects of India compared to the prospects of…and I don’t think India’s going to do as well as Lee Kuan Yew.'
I just threw down a two-hour vinyl mix of drum-and-bass at my local vinyl night (no trainwrecks, thankfully), and amongst the folks of this particular artist collective are several who would meet that description. And we are one of many in a tier-2 metro.
> And to establish a fair price, the court relies on evidence from financial valuation experts.

I generally find expert testimony to be suspect. Anyone can be trotted forward as an expert, rattle off their credentials, and say whatever they feel like saying, depending on who is paying them to testify. And financial valuation is not a science; there is of course plenty of math involved that takes into account hard, objective numbers, but a good chunk of it is opinion, too, as no one an know the future.

Having said that, the Delaware Chancery Court of course has more experience in these matters than any other state's courts, so I am of the opinion that they're less likely to be duped by "experts", but sill... it can and does happen.

> not all of christendom subscribes to the view that it was literally one man, some take a less literal view

I grew up in a Christian country and your "some" is doing a lot of work. Sure, perhaps some specific Christian theologists take that view. But, all actual Christians are taught from childhood that it was one specific man, tempted by one specific woman into eating a literal fruit. The only thing that's generally mentioned as open to interpretation is whether the fruit was an apple. You might get exposed to more nuanced theological views if you study at a seminary, but not while living your life as an average person who identifies as Christian, which is the vast majority.
