Space Force was okay, but I really hope it improves in Season 2. I had just finished The Office before it so was really itching to see more stuff by Steve Carrell.

These days watching Gilmore Girls. I totally agree with watching chills shows to unwind, feels good.

Ah, I recently started using type hints in Python. Would've loved to see how that compares even though it's not inherently a statically typed language!

ironic that the first block talks about aesthetics but the text literally does not meet the acceptable contrast ratio. I do like the rest of it, though.

It seems less about the app itself than it does about China. It's so passive aggressive it reminds me of middle school.

yeah and I guess it makes sense in the aspect that they're trying to survive however they can.

*girl, :)

https://aadibajpai.com/blog/gsoc.html#testing I wrote this a couple of days ago, the first paragraph might be useful.

yeah at first I thought this was a prank and it just randomly shows you a lot of porn and movies and games and stuff (I mean who torrents porn?). Now I am not sure if other people on my ISP have bad taste / are dumb or a combination of both.

I did it for my personal site, and it wasn't too hard, I personally didn't have as much experience with nginx and stuff back then but if I were to set one up now I feel I'd be done in under 30m complete with a vanity url.

from the article: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/

you don't need to spend money if you have a server or even a raspberry pi or something—I run a mirror of my clearnet website as an onion service and it was a fairly straightforward setup.

Something similar in python to visualize algorithms and generate videos: https://github.com/CCExtractor/vardbg

I really like the feel of reading textual posts here, if there was an option to actually read whole posts I'd be sold.

P.S. I think special characters need to be unescaped (> → &)

How's the performance on some of the harder songs to align? When the voice is too melodic or the characteristic high female pitch that can get mistaken for instruments? Something like Royals - Lorde maybe.

I was playing with Aeneas and I didn't really find it THAT accurate, using Syllabification-by-Analogy and then doing some optimizations like matching choruses or verses which are repeated yielded interesting results. When I was doing this then spleeter and demucs and other vocal isolators weren't out so I should probably have another go with those...

The safety part does have something to do with it. But more often the horn is used as a stress ball, as if pressing it will somehow get traffic moving faster. There's also this category of bikers who want to speed on empty roads looking all "heroic" who honk away without a care in the world.

Privacy awareness is certainly not mainstream, if you see someone not using any Google service or so they'll probably be assumed paranoid and labelled a cypherpunk.

Funnily enough, my Dad asked me about what happens with data in the cloud the other day so that was interesting.

I'm glad we proved this guy wrong today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1025748

> -People become more privacy aware after an image search engine with facial recognition is popularized and they realize that any picture ever posted of them by anyone is in the search result for their name. People become less willing to let others take compromising pictures as if they become posted, the link back to them will be made.

Not an image search engine as much as whole governments but this rings eerily true.

Saw this from the Reddit thread about the recently freed convict on r/IAMA. Quite a harrowing read.

I just finished high school this year so I do have a few opinions. Our CS course was outdated, we learnt Turbo C++ ffs and I had a hard time doing that since I personally use the standard C++ or Python for all my projects.

Logical thinking is a very underrated skill in school. Not just in CS but also in other subjects like Math. If the syllabus were structured such that the student got more autonomy as well as a need to learn how to Google stuff on their own, I feel that would make for a kickass CS class.

I'm honestly trying to think of cool stuff that happened to me this year, and while there is some, the crappy stuff outweighs all that.

I'm probably thankful for some self-discovery I did this year. Turns out I'm not really socially awkward after all.

I first read it as Convectional and I thought maybe that represented your transport model (like the convection heat transfer)

I feel that would be a good idea! I didn't really find a connection b/w the company and logo so had just flagged it off as abstract.

Not sure if this is the correct place, but I do design :P

Minor nitpick but: your logo seems to blend into the background because there's not enough contrast. Also, seems like the top is cut off if you zoom enough (it's also very tiny) https://imgur.com/a/gIgGpRp

Congratulations on the launch and best of luck for the road ahead!

That's fair, I was quite surprised that he gave both his cards away like that.

Wait I'm confused, wouldn't it have been a better strategy to go half and half if you have two cards?

You send them one card, they receive it and know they can trust you. They send you the money so you trust them, then you send the final card. Worst case you only lose $250.

Oh I just found out their paper, http://archives.ismir.net/ismir2019/latebreaking/000036.pdf. It's pretty competitive.

I wonder how this compares to Open Unmix (https://github.com/sigsep/open-unmix-pytorch), that one calls itself state-of-the-art as well and is done in collaboration with Sony from what I see of their paper.

Circumventing censored websites is a legitimate use. VPNs are more popular but the thing is that the VPN obviously knows who you are and what you're browsing. Tor makes you anonymous to the middleman as well. Tor wouldn't know if you're watching porn but a VPN would. By the way, that's not a recommended use of tor since you consume a decent amount of bandwidth (:P)
