From wikipedia: "Spotify pays royalties based on their "market share"—the number of streams for their songs as a proportion of total songs streamed on the service."

Regardless, Spotify is free to pay whatever they think is fair and artists are free to accept or reject that compensation as they will. But if you're an artist, Spotify (and the other streaming platforms, which mostly pay even less) are not going to be something that you can ever expect to be an income source.
I've been there. You basically want to be able `cd` into vault and list the contents interactively, but you can't.

While the Web UI is probably the best vault explorer available, you might want to take a look at Vaku[1].

The trick can make any square easier. Take 27 * 27, make it 3 up and 3 down, i.e. 30 * 24 = 720. Then adding the 3 squared you get the answer 729.
Battleships and spy networks are about as adversarial as it gets. Even airliners give some consideration toward not being too easy to hijack or bring down. For instance the hardened cockpit doors added after 9/11.
Qiita has been acquired by game company Ateam 3 years ago. Possibly it works for the company's advertisement. They also selling collaboration SaaS called Qiita Team. I don't see any their cool monetization.

Zenn has been trying to sell paid article for profit. That's not so cool for tech perspective but it's looks good for me if they succeeded. Zenn was operated by single person but it has been acquired by IT(AWS) service company Classmethod very recently. Maybe they also work for the company's advertisement.
Whenever I hear "no code", in my head I hear: no test pyramid, no CI/CD, no VCS, no documentation, no scalable database.

But I also hear "future rewrite by a contracted professional after MVP validation" which I like.
This is exactly what I'd like to use F# for. However, I don't know if there's a good ecosystem for F# that gives me anything over Julias, for example.
I’m definitely down with laptops that have parts that are fully replaceable. It’s not something you really think about until it’s too late, and as such can really land you in some serious issues depending on where you are located in the world.

On a related note, why is it that Linux desktop hardware compatibility is such a hit or miss affair?

I would have thought that given the ethos of the platform and the sheer number of people using Linux worldwide this could be a solvable problem.

I read about VLCs 20 birthday recently and one of the things that made it such an amazing piece of software was that it came bundled with every single codec imaginable. It was revolutionary at the time that it just played literally every single video file you had in your computer. My point is, that it is possible.

If there was a website a bit like caniuse.com, that listed every Linux distro and test results with various hardware. People could register to be ‘drafted’ to test new releases, and there could also be associated discussion forums for workarounds etc.

Even if it was just for laptop hardware, it would be amazing. Not knowing if an expensive purchased laptop will work or not is such a big barrier to entry.
In my case I had a local Micro Center store, so I didn't have to wait for shipping. It was just an inconvenient drive.
You need a story which has millions of dollars, women and open source? - Android.
What's wrong with driving down a street via Google Street View? Your house is already publicly visible as strangers physically drive past them everyday. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Google reducing the cost of doing that, and if that's what you hope to hide behind, isn't that the kind of security-via-obscurity we all decry here?

Trying to stop people from seeing your front lawn via the Internet is comparable to DRM, both in principle and effectiveness. Merry Christmas.
How does a full body scan not provide additional security over a metal detector? Another absurd counterintuitive postulate based on no evidence.

Follow that up with "no discussion necessary" and you have mass hysteria.
This reminds me of all those Facebook groups telling people to protest OPEC by not buying gas on X day.
Thanks. I should have thought of using that.
Sure.

These machines cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, offer no additional security, and take naked pictures of you. There really isn't much to discuss.
That doesn't make sense. Flops is how many flops a device can compute, not how many it uses internally in some model, or how many you'd need to simulate it on a computer. My brain has less than one 32 bit flops.

Otherwise I'm going to claim that a glass of water has more than 10^20 flops, which is what you need to simulate the waves on it to a certain degree of accuracy.
This system is "tolerated," simply because there is nothing wrong with rightfully earned monopolies. Monopolies turn bad the moment they gain special treatment from the government. That's where things get ugly.

There's nothing stopping another search engine from springing up (and they do, of course). There's nothing stopping search engine XYZ from topping Google except for the aggregate of our voluntary decisions. This is not a bad monopoly.
> IM and GM are not awarded by rating

Correct. That's why I used phrases like "typically" and "International Master level".

The mentioned ratings are part of the requirements, and are STRONGLY associated with those titles.

"The requirements for becoming a Grandmaster are somewhat complex. A player must have an Elo rating of at least 2500 at one time (although they need not maintain this level to keep the title). A rating of 2400 or higher is required to become an International Master. In addition, at least two favorable results (called norms) in tournaments involving other Grandmasters, including some from countries other than the applicant's, are usually required before FIDE will confer the title on a player. There are other milestones a player can achieve to get the title, such as winning the Women's World Championship, the World Junior Championship, or the World Senior Championship. Current regulations may be found in the FIDE Handbook.[12"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmaster_%28chess%29

http://www.fide.com/fide/handbook.html?id=58&view=articl...

For a National Master (depends on country), here is the USCF:

"The United States Chess Federation (USCF) awards the Title of National Master to anyone who achieves a USCF rating of 2200, and the title of Senior Master to anyone who achieves a USCF rating of 2400."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_master

A computer playing at well above 2500 can be said to be playing at Grandmaster level, despite not filing the paperwork for officially conferring the title.

> When you do percentage based interest, you're making it easier to go up when you're at a higher rating, which is the wrong way round.

Compound interest is obviously an oversimplification for learning, which everyone already knows is not a linear process. It's illustrative, however, of the vital point: small differences in a feedback cycle accumulate over time into a much larger absolute difference.
Safely ignore.
Okay, this is a subtle point, but you're right. Big-O notation describes an asymptotic upper bound on any function. If that function is average run time, then that's perfectly kosher. Actually establishing what this means, though, is a bit trickier, and something people often mess up.
We have an identical load balancer to one that is causing problems so we're lucky enough to reroute traffic through that one instead to get to the same boxes. (The boxes serve two different APIs through two different DNS CNAMEs so we split the ELBs for future and sanity). In this case, it's helped us out. Alternatively, we would've just routed all traffic to our west coast ELBs.
How about a write-up on how to get prgmr up and running? If it doesn't take a super sysadmin, it might be nice to see the process you took.
Definitely a valid point, that benchmarks can be misleading and real-world code is more important.

One complaint, though - the tested browsers are all released versions, except for IE10. Why test a single unreleased browser, and not unreleased versions of all the browsers?

With the unreleased IE10 included, it comes out fastest - but then perhaps other unreleased browsers would have done better. Ignoring IE10, which would have been more fair, Firefox 4 is the fastest, closely followed by Safari.
That's what I noticed as well. I didn't switch over to DDG because it was better, I did because Google just got much worse and so cluttered with ads and knowledge blocks that were wrong more often than not.
For your purposes, I think it's 100% okay to decline a job for (almost) anything. Think about it- they can turn you down for (almost) anything, legally protected reasons notwithstanding, right?

I agree with some other respondents that it's probably best not to go into detail if they ask- a simple "I don't think I'm a good fit for your environment at this time" should suffice. I wouldn't mention Teams, specifically, unless they really press for details (they almost never do).

Side note: ditto, Teams irritates the p** out of me on all platforms as well, as do the Android versions of most of the O365 suite.
Agreed. If I set off an explosive detector, I would expect to have a hard time, too.
There's one takeaway - no pun intended - that leaps out from this.

Learn. To. Cook.

I run a small, scrappy company that's been in startup mode multiple times over the last 20 years. Being a good cook might well be the most valuable skill I've used over those years.

It lets you drop to very low personal expenditure very easily - far lower than you could manage on all but the junkiest of ready food - whilst still eating well and keeping your health up.

Thinking about it, would a "How To Cook For Hackers" video / ebook / webseries be of use or interest to HN? With the right instrumentation, absolutely anyone can learn to cook nutritious, tasty, cheap meals.
I was easily doing ~3 hours of meetings in a given day

I just wanted to pull this bit out and highlight it in dancing neon.

3 hours of meetings per day? Not even in a single block? It's astonishing that anything got done at all!
So what's the bug then? If there's no loop here?
VirtualBox 4.0.6 added support for Xorg 10.1 which is the part that was required to get Unity working.
Sure. That doesn't make it not pretentious, however.
>The hypothesis that "all smart Indian programmers are in the US" is, well, somewhat naive.

It sure is, which is why no one is saying that. I said the west (that's not just the US, you know?).

>you are competing with programmers in Ireland, Australia, South Africa, Israel, Holland, Germany, New Zealand and so on.

I already am. Every one of them that is willing to move where I live. The only difference is that neither they, nor I would have to move if we moved to telecommuting. This would depress the value of labor somewhat because commute hassles are figured into the current price, but I don't believe we would be looking at a long term 50% decrease.

>and in many cases require a living wage below that found in the US.

Irrelevant. Market prices are set based on perceived value of the good or service. Not what it costs to produce or anything like that.

> But are you still the best if we expand the pool to include a billion people?

No of course not, but we're not all competing for one job. If all programming jobs became telecommuting jobs then I would be competing with everyone but for every job.
In their defense, the advantages this brings are really only possible the way they do it. I quite like this project, it just doesn't fit every use case.
Non-profits can operate commercially as long as that business is consistent with their charitable business. I ran a non-profit science fiction magazine. We sold magazines at a profit, or at least tried to. The problem here is that the leadership of PIR transferred their assets in a way that appears to enrich the same.
And it's not like the rubric was also posted. Maybe a speech sarcastically praising Tiananmen Square and Kent State would do well.
Not OP, but I can tell you why I as a consumer am very much not interested in IPv6. My ISP supports it, but I have intentionally disabled it.

It only causes problems for me with absolutely no gain. There isn't a single website I can't reach, and no website that I've found runs any quicker when using IPv6.

But at the same time, if I have v6 on, it causes delays in name resolution and sometimes I just can't connect to a site until I disable v6.

I still have an addressable v4 address, so I can still run a home server.

I don't know how to fix this. I know that v6 is good for the planet, and I know these problems won't get better until more people are using v6, but it's definitely a chicken/egg problem.
Given the role of Eton in this country and given the sensitivity of the political situation in Northern Ireland I would say it does look somewhat crass.
DDG results are so much worse for me, especially anything longer tail or in Spanish, that I switch to Google when I'm actually getting work done. I find myself adding "!g" to an important search just to check for any results that DDG doesn't know about and it's almost always an upgrade to see Google's results.

Search is hard.

I don't like to chime in to say something negative about an underdog like DDG, but I see this "people probably just don't know how to use DDG" suggestion a lot and it's quite the opposite: Google feels like it can practically read my mind with minimal context, like knowing I also may be talking about a recent event that shares the name with a generic search term. And I'm not talking about personalized search.

Or consider how "elm dict" in Google takes me to https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/core/latest/Dict (#1 result), but https://duckduckgo.com/?q=elm+dict&t=h_&ia=web in DDG doesn't (nowhere on page 1).

Run into this enough and it becomes hard to willfully use DDG when you know you're likely missing out on good results when trying to do real work.
Multiple versions are being tested. The one I've seen does not contain the domain, not even in a tokenized form.

It looked like this: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-is-testing-search...
Thanks for the replies. I need someone that works via an API - as will be coming from a platform sending to many B2B suppliers. problem with things like Gdrive, firefox is you are uploading the confidential data into their systems. A lot of files going to lots of different people. We are Microsoft / Azure stack - so maybe do somethig from them.

The link below to Cisco might be an option - looking I guess for enterprise style solutions.
Do you have a source for this? For the most part, rents and real estate prices have been increasing.
"I do not use Wayland because Zoom does not support Pipewire-based recording nor any Wayland screen recording protocols" is a fine although very uninteresting conclusion.
It's not analogous at all. It omits the key factor: the domestic deployment.
> I don't think the club sounded any more/less douchey than a place like HN (the owner notwithstanding).

I think it sounded a lot worse, but maybe I'm blinded by my contempt for people who think spending $2000 on a jacket is somehow a good idea.

But using HN as a benchmark is not so great. I participate because high-tech entrepreneurs are my people, but there are plenty of good folks who hold HN in contempt for the stuff that gets said here. It has improved some in the last year or so with better moderation, but I just expect 50% or so of my interactions here will be awful. In contrast to say, Quora, where it's 5% awful, or well-moderated mailing lists, which are under 1%.
I agree. The headline is inflammatory. Very unfortunate because the article itself was an interesting read.
"when an employee asks for a raise, or say they are quitting does that make them a horrible employee"

No it doesn't.

You seem think employees are there just to serve you for the lowest bid and if an employee is coming to you with a better offer then, you aren't paying them "market rate".
As I like to say, cold turkey is for turkeys, but you self corrected quickly enough, and if you restarted at a lower dose then those two days of pain were not wasted. I'll sometimes trade off more pain for faster withdrawal in some stages when I wean myself off my benzodiazepam.

But there's no grand insight into your experience with Effexor, besides confirming that this isn't cookie cutter science/medicine, you try different drugs out until you find the best balance between side effects and desired action. And try to keep you shit together with what turn out to be bad choices, e.g. (generic) Paxil made me hypomanic.
My main gripe with tesseract is how convoluted and lacking in documentation the training procedure is, which is critical to getting better results. I'll be sure to check out ocropus.
I'm not sure the majority are middle America. We have a lot of fiber going in with these rural cooperatives offering some pretty good speeds. I get the feeling it is a lot of folks who dropped of the tech train and just want their e-mail.
Werkzeug is the Flask HTTP handler. It can be useful for you. I know restpy [0], based on werkzeug.

Can you say more about what you mean about home ownership being a lifestyle as opposed to an investment?

I'm guessing what you mean is that houses require upkeep and they also come with certain benefits (e.g. more freedom with what you do with the house), but I'm wondering if you meant something different?
I think a big part of the appeal of Kotlin was that Scala was impractical for use on Android so Kotlin slid in as "the missing pieces" of Java.
I used this to convince my gf to replace her hideous fake tree decoration with a nice bowl for holding stuff instead. This might be the most useful HN post for me ever.
> They were “easily persuaded by weird, contrarian things,” said Robin Hanson, a professor of economics at George Mason University who helped create the blogs that spawned the Rationalist movement. “Because they decided they were more rational than other people, they trusted their own internal judgment.”

The article as a whole is meh, but that quote made skimming it worthwhile.

I've never been impressed by the "rationalist" community around SSC, LessWrong, Overcoming Bias, etc., but I've really struggled to put my finger on it. This gets pretty damn close.

The whole sphere struck me from the beginning (way before present controversies) as a big circle jerk of smart people trying to impress each other. The standard issue rationalist flex is to pick a contrarian point of view and invent an extremely novel argument for it. Bonus points if it skirts close to something controversial or taboo, but doesn't quite cross the line. Then an endless thread of discussion can ensue where all the participants have an opportunity to flex by either agreeing or taking apart the argument.

Problem is: I never got the sense that anything was being accomplished, nor that the ideas coming out of these places stood up when dragged out of their bubbles and examined in the context of the wider world and the wider sphere of human experience.

The first thing that really put me off was the whole idea of runaway super-intelligent AI. Please, please, please for the love of g-d study some biology. Dunning-Krueger is a worn out meme but I think the idea of it applies well to CS people talking about intelligence (as opposed to glorified statistical regression) without knowing anything about biology, which is the only existing example of an intelligent system.

The neo-racist ("human biodiversity") and neoreactionary stuff just put me off further. When it emerged it didn't surprise me one bit that it came from those circles. Contrarian? Check. Controversial? Check. Elitist? Check.

In the end I started thinking of it as an online cult, sort of a really high-brow companion to the 'chans. I guess the hierarchy goes: rationalist sphere > 'chan culture > Qanon.

Hey, I'm surprised too! I also think it's fair to say I'm a hardcore addict (https://philosopher.life/#Link%20Log). I dreamt of mainlining T1 lines as a kid, and it's never stopped. ( ՞ਊ ՞).

Isn’t that exactly what Gell-Mann would lead you to conclude you should do? Realize that many (most?) sources are riddled with errors? (I agree with your overall stance; I don’t get you wariness of Gell-Mann.)

HN is, overall, a high-quality source for many things. I also daily see things stated with absolute conviction that are flat-out wrong and so I don’t trust it blindly either.
Yeah, absolutely. For every stupid decision he made (buying Instagram, Whatsapp, Oculus etc.), making the company worth almost $1 Trillion, yeah, he's a horrible CEO. As a stockholder, I just hate him.
That's exactly why I'm relectuant to short stocks by the way. Even when a company is slowly dying the share price won't necessarily fall?

I think this article is trying to say "Dont just read books". Not that the soft skills and book smarts need to be mutually exclusive. It just that with the current traditional way of teaching, there is a lot more emphasis on book smarts, good grades and other academia than there is about teaching "street smarts".

I completely agree that good soft skills or "street smarts" are no substitute for actual knowledge but sharp soft skills tend to land more interviews than being smart (Natural networking and all).

Ultimately though, I agree with you. Soft skills and "book smarts" shouldnt be mutually exclusive.
Or just a long-term bet against individual/personal car ownership.
People here will argue that he is the worst CEO ever, that's debatable of-course. But I want to say some good things about him. To me he is a guy in a suit who understood software development. He shouted (in)famous "developers, developers, developers"[1], he knew that LOC is not a good measurement of software development[2], he poured loads of money in MSR ignoring the pressure of shareholders. For these reasons only he is a fine guy in my book. So I thank him for his works in Microsoft.

Yes.

I never need to install Python permanently.[1] In my experience, there is almost always a way to do what needs to be done with what UNIX provides, without installing more software. This keeps the system smaller, more standardized and hence more portable than one where various dependencies are haphazardly added.

1. Sometimes I have to install it temporarily, for "reverse engineering" a non-Python solution, e.g., when someone decides to use Python as a substitute for make.
