I definitely take studies like this with a grain of salt, though I do find them interesting. This one does appear to be from a sufficiently large sample size.

Besides this, though, I find it interesting that humans feel they can sufficiently reverse engineer breast milk to replicate the health benefits. Not saying at all that eventually this won't be possible or probable.

But the "original formula" has gone through at least tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of years of evolution. From this respect I'm in complete awe that we have this nature-given tool, and astonished that more humans don't do this for their children.
I'd disagree that it's needed. An explicit sync() before returning a notification that the password is invalid would stop this attack as well, and again wouldn't require any additional writes for the most common case of the user entering in the password correctly.
Thank you for your efforts. Publishing any work takes significant work, and HackerNewsMonthly always looked professional and seemed to have a good and representative selection of posts.

You have contributed to the community and made the world a little better, and no matter what your goals were or are, you should count this as a success. "From the people who brought you HNMonthly" will be a valuable sentence for most things you choose to do (most, as say, any teenage children would not be impressed).

Thank you and good luck in the future.

If you're trying to save money, of course you don't live in those places. Are you going to list Woodside, Hillsborough, and Atherton as well?

There are plenty of other less expensive cities that have great access to public transportation and decent access to SF; like Redwood City, Fremont, Hayward, South SF, Daly City, Oakland, and others that are a lot less expensive (most of these places are also way more bike friendly than SF). Even really inexpensive places like Concord, Pittsburg, or Livermore have decent access to Bart.

> even most of the supposedly "cheap" East Bay will run you far more than most other metro areas across the US.

Well yes, but your salary is higher as well compared to the rest of the US; so the East Bay is very affordable. Is is still more expensive than the rest of the US? Of course, but that's what happens when a lot of people want to live in a specific spot.

You can also just rent out a room too if you want to save money in pricier areas. In the past even with an engineering salary, I've rented a room in a cheap area just so I could save up money for house later on.

I'll tell you why this YC thread is really annoying to me: Hacker News is a forum supposedly filled with thinkers who aim to solve problems. Yet with a good number of HN people in this thread, instead of looking for alternative solutions (i.e. cheaper neighboring cities), they seem to be focused on how the problem is unsolvable without legislation.
I wonder if this is about ending the "loudness war", or if it's more about helping amateur content with nearly inaudible levels.

All the good reasons for compressing music or audio in general certainly apply to YouTube. The average viewer will probably listen through laptop speakers in a noisy environment, and a large dynamic range is not helpful to them.

Also, does this mean they actually lower the volume of high RMS/LUFS videos?

Why rent control works
Researchers have considered your hypothesis. There have been many attempts to eliminate confounding variables in these studies (this doesn't mean that they were necessarily successful in doing so, but they did think about it). Often they attempt to control for differences in parenting styles, which should cover how much time they spend interacting with their child.

Also until 6-10 months, babies can't hold their own bottles, so someone is probably still interacting with them (unless you prop up the bottle and leave the baby alone, which is possible but not recommended).
Carmack is an interesting fellow, especially interesting to the types that frequent this forum.

Does rust zero the allocated memory? If IIRC, that was the crux of heartbleed(I wrote my own exploit based of the description).. It created a too large not-zeroed buffer based on the size supplied and not the actual size sent. So you could send 16bytes and specify 16k(or whatever it was) and you'd get back a bunch of extra crap from the not-zeroed memory. Previously used and now freed memory, not just any old memory.

In ANY case, if you build it(unsafe) they will come. People WILL be writing code using unsafe.
Sounds like a targeted attack on your dad in this case.
1. They aren't abrasive, they are polar. Abrasive makes them sounds like they have gritty particles. They do not.
They are just solvents.

Most of these solvents will not harm switches/circuitboards (well, maybe apple ones, depending on what kind of protective coating they use).

2. The amount of effort it takes to have a coating that is resistant to almost all cleaners is completely and utterly trivial to a company like apple.

It's not a hard problem. It's not even a problem.

To put this in perspective for you, I can walk 1000 feet from my house, and get stuff that will function as an optically clear anti-reflective coating that is resistant to almost all chemicals.

(These things are portable to other coating types, too.. The wood end table i spray finished sitting next to me could be dipped in acetone, denatured alcohol, whatever, and it wouldn't affect the finish)

So yeah, i'm going to go out on a limb and say "apple has to figure out how to use coatings that resist these kinds of things", because it's 100% cheap and trivial.

If you use compression on the assumption that a chunk of your audience will be listening on shitty speakers you ensure that anyone not listening on shitty speakers also gets a shitty experience. Perhaps Google would like YouTube to be a non-shitty experience for people with nice speakers (or headphones or whatever).
Difficulty and regulatory requirements are not the same thing. The difficulty of berthing with the ISS is technically quite low. There is a single object to contend with (the ISS) of which the full parameters are known. There are no other objects to get in your way. Visibility is good. All in all it's a highly predictable and very static environment.

I completely disagree. The limitations are technical not regulatory. Elon Musk might think he knows at a high level how to slowly introduce the technology. That's great and all but the technology doesn't exist yet and won't for a long time. I'm talking about 100% driving duties here, not just cruising on the highway and parking in a controlled environment.

Probably because a physical menu actually takes less time to select a meal from. In the worst case, if every restaurant had their own menu app/site think about how long it would take a newcomer to install/navigate then figure out how the UI worked.

Plus you would still need to have physical menus as backup for those customers that don't have smartphones, are out of battery, etc.

I've seen some sushi spots have their menu on an iPad; and it worked pretty well. However, personally I also enjoy the conversational aspect of placing an order with a human server (with the interaction influencing the value of my tip).

"Occasionally women could legitimately rise up to speak – to defend their homes, their children, their husbands or the interests of other women"

To this day, writers struggle to find internal motivation for their female characters. Usually an active women character will be fleeing from danger or recovering what's hers.

I run into this problem quite often. Has anyone proposed creating an alias for each character that indicated that it was chinese, japanese, or korean? In this way you could mix words within documents and when it is rendered each language could be represented by different fonts? The same could be used for variations in chinese -- so that if you used a Hong Kong Cantonese or Taiwanese namespace or alias it would use traditional characters, and if using a Mandarin, or Singapore Chinese namespace it would use simplified characters.

> anyone not listening on shitty speakers also gets a shitty experience

This hyperbole serves no one. Modern limiters are tremendously transparent, and only people who are listening for it will notice the increase in compression.

That said, there is a case to be made for listener fatigue. Personally, I'm not on youtube for extended periods where that would be a problem, but I can see how it might be.
Further, as a musician and engineer, I have long had to live with the fact that none of the streaming services (not even iTunes the app) are transparent. After having spent days on a mix and master, it's quite a shame I don't get to decide how the exact final product is sonically presented.
Yeah, and I never had a moment's back or neck pain, despite terrible posture habits, until a bulged disc put me out of work for a long time at the ripe old age of 34. I genuinely hope you never experience any work-related ailments.
I'd honestly be surprised, unless you're referring to people who copy movies and then sell copies.

In this case, here's someone who made and published an app. Someone else copied the APK, changed the assets, and then resold it as an entirely different app. That'd be like someone copying a movie, changing the title, adding a couple of scenes, and then publishing it as an entirely new film.
I'm all for bashing touchscreens in cars (and in general), but I've never seen a new car that doesn't have the "multifunction steering wheel" where you can control almost everything (usually not the ventilation though) without taking your hands off the wheel. They require a few hours of getting used to each layout, but past that, they're great interfaces.
Linear types (as in Rust) can prevent (at compile time) some of the more trivial use-after-free issues e.g. for unique_ptr, but I think the main reasons you won't see undefined behavior eliminated from C++ wholesale is that it a) often requires extensive support at runtime (see ASAN, UBSAN, etc.) and b) presents a huge barrier to optimization in certain cases and c) (thus) is going to be waaay too slow for production use. (I.e. if C++ were to go in this direction someone would basically either "fork" C++ or a new (similar) language would supplant it.)

Unfortunately, currently no "sufficiently smart compiler" exists, so that high-level code can be optimized sufficiently to beat what a good micro-optimizing C++ compiler (which can assume that no undefined behavior can occur at runtime) can achieve.
I don't think we (the consumers\audience) are ever going to win that war.
Why? I think following a 3/4rd year university course on C++ was one of my best investments ever.

Nearly every imperative language is a walk in the park after you know C++, and you can still write C++ for performance-intensive code (if necessary with expression templates et al.).
> People WILL be writing code using unsafe.

Yes, and that's not in any way controversial. If it wasn't useful to be able to drop down and do anything that C can do, it wouldn't be in the language. Our job as a community is to foster a culture where `unsafe` blocks are viewed with scrutiny and distrust unless proven otherwise. Our job as library implementors is to determine which use cases cause people to reach for `unsafe` and encapsulate those patterns in well-vetted safe interfaces. Servo already has a bot that inspects each PR in the queue and raises an alarm if any code within an `unsafe` block has been modified, flagging it for very close review. This is not a feature that we take lightly, it is a necessary tool to be used with care.
> They take a FreeBSD/Linux distro and add a "Windows" layer on top, ala Apple.

No. NT is a far more advanced kernel than any of the free unixes. If anything, they'll make it the other way around; a decent "linux" subsystem which can seamlessly run ELF binaries. Like FreeBSD's linux binary support. Or like coLinux, but without the overhead of virtualizing another kernel.

I sold a 14k gold engagement ring once and the jeweler didn't care about the diamonds at all, and only was interested in the melt value of the gold. I still have the diamonds because he was literally going to give $0 for them. Unless they are quite large or a rare color etc, I don't think they have much resale value. At a reputable jeweler however you should be able to get 80% or more of the spot price.

This is of course what the "war" is about at its core - do we prefer to to sound OK everywhere, but not great anywhere, or do we prefer to sound great for some people, but be inaudible to others.

The right answer depends on the content, context and audience. The choice is with the content creator, not with YouTube, and for many content creators optimizing for people with bad speakers is the right choice. Lowering the volume is not going to make "shitty" compression unshitty.

Unicode defines equivalence relations, yes. But nowhere does is a program that uses Unicode required to use a equivalence relation whenever it wishes to compare two strings. It probably should use one, but there are various reasons why it might want strict equality for certain operations.
I had a funny feeling doing a SQL MOOC when I had to re-learn normalization, and how it was a very generic decoupling algorithm. Suddenly all OOP became tiny and ad-hoc.
I'm honestly totally in favor of breast-feeding, when it's a reasonable option. I don't want anyone to avoid breast-feeding because they think (as was believed for quite a while, actually) that formula is better.

But this line from the OP slightly freaked me out -- just for acknowledging the possibility:

> But they say mothers should still have a choice about whether or not to do it.

Have they forgotten the abortion debate? There are some relevant points in there, even if formula-feeding actually cost 50 IQ points, reliably.

But it's more than just that.

Parenting is demanding and unavoidably full of compromises, for just about all parents. Most people just think in overly-simplified terms of what's "right" and "wrong" in parenting decisions, which means that the mother who can't breastfeed because she's got mastitis gets to suffer both from the pain and from guilt of imagining her child's IQ points decreasing; nice.

But really -- feeling guilty whenever you see your child is probably quite a bit worse than any harm not breast-feeding them may or may not cause.

I feel like there should be just a list of priorities, for parents to review when they're choosing their individual compromises, and at the top of the list would be "dedicate time when you're feeling well to your child". Then you can spend that time actually being supportive, kind, fair, consistent, and all of those things that go out the window when you're feeling awful.

And you may be feeling awful if you're compromised away too much of your sleep, if you're in pain, if you've faked being happy for too long, because of some article you read about something that was "right" or "wrong" for your child.

All of these other things -- like breast-feeding -- should come below that.

Kids don't want/need more time, full-stop; they want/need more time with parents who are actually doing okay.

Some of these techniques appear to (optionally) take the entire album into account when conducting normalization.

Maybe that's it. Due to its nature, YouTube tends to lend itself to album fragmentation. It's not uncommon for people to have an entire album on their playlist where no two tracks were uploaded together, let alone even share the same uploader.

In this scenario, barring some sort of mitigation strategy, any seamless transitions between tracks would most likely be destroyed. Each track would have been normalized individually.
I understand and have experienced what you're talking about, but I don't think it gets to the meat of what people dislike about the way Linus (occasionally) communicates with people. Being more straightforward as in "no that's a dumb idea because X" may put people off, but can be chalked up to "cultural differences in communication". This doesn't really apply to the kinda stuff Linus has said that people complain about:

"Mauro SHUT THE FUCK UP"

"I don't _ever_ want to hear that kind of obvious garbage and idiocy from a kernel maintainer again. "

"fix your approach to kernel programming."

"There aren't enough swear-words in the English language, so now I'll have to call you perkeleen vittupää just to express my disgust and frustration with this crap."

It's ridiculous to claim that that's just avoiding unnecessary civility. Those statements aren't "blunt", they're just him being a dick.
