I believe this is only effectively possible, not fully possible. Inherently, music and the voice will share some of the same frequency samples, since they are discrete. I’m sure you might be able to get a solution that works to the human ea

Cool. Those are definitely useful and interesting. I don’t think I’ve been enough of a GitX power user to need some of those yet, but I’m sure the day will come. I appreciate the no JavaScript these days! I like rich UI’s but I appreciate t

That makes sense. I heard him say that the pain points of dynamic typing are mostly just people using it for web apps that eventually have to migrate to Postgres and the like, causing some headaches because client server DB’s are much more

This might age me, but I would like to know what you like about mailing lists compared to the UI of GitHub. What’s the selling point for mailing lists vs real time threads? I see a cult of people that like mailing lists and google groups, b

I’ve been following sh for a bit now, but I haven’t figured out what the differentiator is between it, and say, GitHub or GitLab. Obviously the UI design is different, but what are people loving about it on a day to day basis compared to th

Yikes, that’s a little harsh considering the good discussion going on before and after your comment.

I wonder if this is a driving force behind why Cognitect has kept Datomic closed source. I’ve seen people rally against Datomic more than once for that reason, but honestly, how can you open-source something truly unique and monetize withou

The SQLite author is a big Tcl user. I believe the codebase is primarily Tcl when you include the test suite, though the core implementation is obviously a C library. D Richard Hipp is his name and he has some nice talks online. He uses his

Maybe SK is tackling these issues head on, but from my experience international news tend to always come with a <country> tag in the title, whereas local news comes with a <state or city> tag more accurately. It might be that so

I know HN doesn’t typically like videos but the author of SQLite is a great presenter and such an awesome geek! Main content is about 45:00 minutes long He does a great job reminding people that SQL is an amazing tool, and presents it in su

I think it would be interesting to answer the counter here: so who is doing enterprise software right? Maybe they are disguised as a start up and hate the label, but what enterprise software companies are taking the right approach? BaseCamp

I don’t know if you are wrong, but I would give fennel lang a look. It’s a lisp that compiles to Lua, so you can access LuaJIT performance while lisping away.

What are some good rule-of-thumbs for when to use ORM vs SQL? I have worked with SQLAlchemy and Entity Framework, before and like them, but haven’t been able to find that magical demarcation line for when to go raw SQL. Does anyone have bas

Not that huge of a headline due to them already having a form of unlimited. This saves some pennies if you go over that cap consistently. However, I commend the Fi team for working out the details for international travelers. I used it for

If you want a good high level overview I recommend Designing Data Intensive Applications by Kleppmann. You will walk away with a good understanding of the tradoffs of each paradigm.

Awesome, do you think it’s a hard sell for old school government contractors? I am passionate to write embedded systems with Rust, but I worry it will be too hard of sale to d school contractors with stacks already written C, and C develope

Interesting, I am highly interested in convincing NASA to start using Rust for their embedded systems they use on ISS experiments and such. I would love to get more widespread adoption at the embedded system level.

That’s my take. The bigger downside IMO is that the most successful people, i.e. experts, at something exist in the 10^9 social group, rather than the 10^3, and likely multiple experts exist in the 10^9 space. A strange side effect is that

My absolute favorite numberphile video is how pi occurs in a peculiar way with Riemann Zeta/Mandelbrot. Maybe it only amazes me because I don’t have a PhD in math, but it just seemed so strange how pi shows up in this video. https:&#x
