I’m a Cybersecurity Architect currently focused on large-scale security platform design and DevSecOps integrations for enterprise (SAST/DAST/SCA, CI/CD automation, secure toolchain orchestration). After many years consulting and building security capabilities, I want to go back to creating things with computers, software, and AI, not just securing them. I love lisp, emacs, functional programming, programming languages and GOFAI.

New comment by gosub in "Ask HN: Best way to avoid link rot?"

gosub — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 09:18:49 +0000

my strategy would be diversification: link + archive.org + archive.is + local copy + github/gitlab copy

worrying about linkrot, some years ago I wrote a little local webserver that took a link via a bookmarklet and saved a page in multiple formats:

    - html with wget -archive | tar.gz
    - pdf with wkhtmltopdf
    - txt with links
    - png with firefox --screenshot

If any mainstream unix-like OS kept the promise that "everything is a file" (like Plan9), adding a secondary monitor from another pc could be easy like:

    mount /dev/screen2 user@remotehost:/dev/screen1

The example on the webpage sounds like a radio station passed through a granulator with a lot of reverb, something like Clouds from Mutable Instruments. It's an open-source granular effect eurorack module, there is a software port in VCV-Rack. This is another famous granulator: https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/granulator-ii/

TLDR: scikit-learn's 'LogisticRegression' function violates the principle of least astonishment by automagically using L2 regularization.

I hope RMS is safe, and that someone finds a way to let us all help him, in any meaningful way.

The most disgusting thing is that whose who witch-hunted him, from their higher moral ground, will face no consequences at all.

You should take a look at Reaper. It has macros, total reconfigurability and deep scripting. It's the emacs of the DAW world.
