Removing clicks from audio in iZotope RX (& without it!), a thread from a professional dialogue editor🧵

Super important SNARK open question: given univariate polys f,g of deg<n, let h be the deg<n poly such h=f*g on a set H of size n. I.e. h=f*g mod Z_H. Can we prove given KZG commitments to f,g,h that h is correct in time O(n) without computing a quotient?

Weirdly, indie creators have always relied on doing arbitrage on big platforms: attracting attention on Twitter, Instagram, FB, Google, YouTube, Hacker News, Medium, etc... We're "independent," but to attract an audience we need to capture attention on big platforms.

Where does engineering rep come from? Here's a Google engineer slagging on Amazon engineering, which they say mediocre. I don't think this is an unusual opinion, I've heard this from people both inside and outside of Google. Google has the best engineering, Amazon is mediocre.

Dear @AppleSupport, we noticed a *HUGE* security issue at MacOS High Sierra. Anyone can login as "root" with empty password after clicking on login button several times. Are you aware of it @Apple?

You want to know something about how bullshit insane our brains are? OK, so there's a physical problem with our eyes: We move them in short fast bursts called "saccades", right? very quick, synchronized movements. The only problem is: they go all blurry and useless during this

Migrating my Blog to the @TiddlyWiki First protype here joearms.github.io/tw/share/outpu… Now that it's working (somewhat) all future blogs will be in a @TiddlyWiki This will mean: - you can read them on an aircraft with no internet access - you can hopefully read them in 1000 years

I worry Apple will think about killing the iPad mini again, which they shouldn't. It's such a wonderful little device. twitter.com/i/notes/155885…

今こそ小林勇貴への私怨を晴らしたいのだが、悪評を広めようとしてるヤツがちょっとどうなんだという感じで、いまいちのれないｗ　でもリンク先はみないほうがよいです。悪のりが受け、どんどん小林は増長した。俺が文句をいっても、周囲は笑って小林の機嫌をとった。映画会社とか本当にクソだった。

A lot of App Store users assume that indie devs make a lot of money, and whilst this may be true for many, it isn’t a fact for most. For instance, I’ve made roughly £25 across this past month. I think indie developers need to be transparent where possible.

After two years, 220 screens, and 120,000 lines of javascript, we're moving away from React Native at Airbnb. I tried to summarize our experience in a single blog post but that wouldn't do it justice so it turned into five!

「ロシアの未来、3つのシナリオ：1. 北朝鮮」 「経済制裁はいかにロシアを殺すか」の執筆者Kamil Galeev氏が考える「ロシアの未来」について、3つのシナリオのうちの1つを和訳しました。だいぶ暗い見通しですが...。例によって、最初にまとめを1つ投下して詳細に入ります。

Adobe Creative Cloud更新時期になったので、また解約する振りしたら、今年も半額に値引きしてくれた。

The Twitter change where they switched everyone from their choice of timeline to ranked timeline reminds me of a question: why don't social media companies react to negative signals from users? The change trained me to stop checking the app since it filled my feed with garbage.

(有)知床遊覧船の沈没事故で代表者の桂田精一のコンサルティングをしていた経営コンサルタントの小山昇について関心が高まっているようなので、割と詳しい私が小山昇と小山が経営する株式会社武蔵野について語ろうと思います。 #知床遊覧船 #浸水事故 #桂田精一 #小山昇

この世から抹消されるかもしれんけど、これが舞妓の実態。当時16 歳で浴びるほどのお酒を飲ませられ、お客さんとお風呂入りという名の混浴を強いられた(全力で逃げたけど)。これが本当に伝統文化なのか今一度かんがえていただきたい。写真はお客さんと山崎18年一気飲み大会で勝利した時と飲酒

At minimum, we now have a pattern: Trump campaign associates (and family members) seeking a Russian election assist via dirt on Clinton.
