You would think that! It turns out that when every artist, label, publisher, and retailer under the sun has the same idea... discovery isn't actually any easier. All you get is noise.

There was a huge and diverse ecosystem. It's mostly gone now. This for the most part works better for users, which is why that old ecosystem is mostly gone. As a rule, users don't want to bounce between five or ten or twenty sites to find what they want - users prefer one or two.

More specifically, there's a huge number of startups hellbent on being that someone. I've personally had contact with several. That you didn't know this is an excellent comment on how big the perceived opportunity actually is.
From what I could tell it quickly turned to a misogynist witch hunt with heavy doxxing and harassment and not a lot of actual substance

It doesn't matter. Remember, before acquisition their main revenue plan was to charge $1/year/user. WhatsApp biggest selling point was that it promised it would not have ads and it would be focused on privacy.

End-to-end encryption came despite Facebook. Its founder left when it was clear that Facebook planned to leverage WhatsApp userbase into other Facebook properties despite promises of the contrary.

Now they are actually executing on it. The only action that can have any effect on Facebook is if they start losing users over this.

Matt Taibbi talks about all this in his book Hate Inc. The 24/7 news networks needed new stuff to sell since the USSR was out. Turns out just general outrage at every little thing works good.
>> time to get 'cozy' with the new people in power and set up those dinners

That is the system. Companies that want to make money need to keep on the good side of people in power. But isn't that how democracy works? Better that they adapt to every incoming elected administration than have them hold loyalties to old regimes. Seeing them so regularly bend to the will of voters isn't a horrible thing.
Circumstances matter, but it can be done (eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mzPj_IaMzY made the news a while ago).

Here in Germany, people wielding knives get killed from time to time as well. Pepper spray tends to get used first, and I do not remember any case where a dozen rounds were fired[1] (German police fire on the order of 50 rounds total per year, cf https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffengebrauch_der_Polizei_in_... ).

Let us not forget though, the vast majority of that wealth is entirely in stock. I would suspect he's still (relatively) cash poor. I'm unfamiliar with him selling off stock regularly but I know Bezos has made some rather large sales with some sort of regulatory historically however.

It's still an amazing feat though, and exciting given the reusable rocket thing really just getting going and Starlink still being in beta and desparately needed for large swaths of the country. My wife and I recently moved to a very rural area and we got extremely lucky being just off a major interstate that just happened to have a backbone running along it so for the first time in my life I can get gigabit internet in the sticks, when I couldn't in Indianapolis, but in my town of 300~ people only about half of us have access to it while the others are stuck with hughesnet garbage service.

Congrats Mr. Musk.
While i completely agree that this was all unnecessary and a complete fuckup (Trump not calling the national guard, police clearly had a shitty tactic)
But i don't think you can hold this "let them in" up high.
They didn't invite them in, they let them in because of fear of beeing overrun/escalation.
If a mob is in front of your house and threatens to burn it down if you won't let them in, there is no claim you invited them in If you do out of fear.

They should have blasted them of the stairs with watercannons, but idk what the plan was.
There are many vices in the world. The underlying commonality is that they’re all addictive. In spite of that, I don’t subscribe to the belief that their addictive qualities exonerate their participants. Nor does it transform thieves, addicts, or delinquents into victims.
> Functions and types can take integers as monomorphization-time template parameters (const generics).

Const generics aren't dependent types though; you're still dealing with known constants at compile time. For it to be dependent types, you need something like in your latter example, where a type is dependent on an actual _value_ passed to a function at runtime.
And here I always thought it was because, should your large die have an issue, you can likely sell it as a lower-binned SKU with the failed area gated off. This way you end up with more inventory of a chip you intend to sell, or you have a high margin chip - win-win!

I'm not that familiar with MT–does it break because of it's code or because of how it's setup/deployed with Perl?

You sir, are a mad genius. But really, how long before a class action lawsuit thrown against the government for exposing many to this type of thing? On one hand, I hope it takes a long time for people to feel the ill effects, buton the other...

You're mixing Si units and IEC units[1]. The article's measurement of 278 GB (sic) is really 278 GiB.

1280 horizontal resolution x 720 vertical resolution x 3 8-bit bytes per pixel x 30 frames per second x 3600 seconds per hour is 298,598,400,000 bytes per hour. 1GiB (1,024 bytes x 1,024 KiB x 1,024 MiB) is 1,073,741,824 bytes. Dividing that out gives ~278.09 GiB.

I see you read the article about litestream, I love following the rabbit hole.
Good work!
I think the big one is that it's written in Java so it runs seamlessly on the JVM. While JNI allows you to wrap native libraries for the JVM, it tends to mix poorly with the common artifact management and deployment pipelines.

The main use I've put it to over the years is as an in-memory database for integration tests.
Samsung has been around Austin, TX since the late 1990's and invested well over $15B. I think the state and county officials have enough dataset to evaluate whether Samsung's new expansion would benefit their community or not.

I don't see why it shouldn't. I will always want the best SoV in exchange for my services, why would I want something else? If I need to exchange the currency for a SoV everytime, I might get the SoV from the get-go.

Anyone else thinks that we missed an opportunity to make text much simpler to deal with by not increasing the size of a byte from 8 to 32 bits when we moved from 32-bit to 64-bit word length CPUs ?

I mean, isn't the 7-bit ASCII text the reason why the byte length was standardized to the next power of two bits ?

(With e-mail still supporting non-padded 7-bit ASCII until recently for performance reasons.)
LTSC is definitely the best Windows 10 version for office / dev work. You need an Enterprise license as a Pro license will not work. Also, LTSC can be hard to come by. See /r/Windows10LTSC for Q&A.
I'm quite certain there was--if not a full strip--at least an illustration involving the the CEO... Not the now-staple pointy-haired manager, but the heavily-jowled guy who's been supplanted by the bullet-headed CEO in recent years.

That is a pretty cool idea, but because it's not really been done before, I would imagine that it's hard to get people to follow along with actually getting a friend to help out. I didn't want to read the whole page of instructions here, so I just clicked the link and tried to figure out, but it wasn't very obvious, and I ended up coming back to try and read what was supposed to happen. It might be too complicated. It would be even better if you could forgo finding a collaborator and just go on alone. I know that seems like it would lead to less 'virality' but I personally think that's actually a big bother to a lot of people. If they go on alone, and enjoy it, then they'll start telling others.
I've always liked these - the hq3x algorithm is stunning (scroll down on the linked page to see a good result).
You might be able to charge for search in a specialized sub-domain of search, particularly if you can find a niche where the quality of search results could make/cost the user money.

For generalized search though, I think it's gonna be hard to find many users who will pay. Looking at Google Zeitgeist as an indicator of what most people search for, it look to me like most searches are for fairly trivial information. Most searches don't require the best results, just a number of good results. Google and Bing both do a good job providing good results.. so what's your selling point going to be?
I've tried that too earlier, but it seemed to trigger a couple of other bugs - getting the mouse 'stuck' on the title area, for one. This was many months ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's totally fixed by now.

I know it's old fashioned and out of style with kids these days, but I believe there is real value to PM style shown in the book The Mythical Man Month by Fred Brooks. Here is what Brooks might recommend to you:

1. How do you keep ambiguity at bay?

You have a nailed specification. If there isn't one stop everything and put one into place right away.

2. How do you manage your projects so you don't lose control?

Someone needs to be the Project Manager. By the way Peter Drucker would tell you that it's hard to be the maker and the manager (in fact he advises against it).

So as a PM you have to estimate man hours (vs. calendar time). Break down every feature and figure out how many hours are required. A trick I use as a PM is I ask my team members "Is this something that takes an hour, a day, a week, a month or a year?". I then track their estimated time based on track record and make adjustments (some coders are good at this, some are bad).

If you add or change a feature, revise your estimate.

3. How do you keep motivation of your founding team up when you're slogging?

It depends why it's going south: Is this a death march, or is it just a lack of a plan? It also depends on why the team members are doing the project to start with.
Actually, this is another commentary based on a misunderstanding of "post-PC".

Steve Jobs didn't say "this is a post-PC era". He said "we believe these are post-PC devices".

This is an important point and worth emphasizing since everybody is getting it wrong.

1) The iOS devices are "post-PC" (Jobs says) because they are not trying to be to be tiny PCs but rather something different. Not necessarily something totally new (I think Palm blazed the trail here) but something different from a PC and so he says tablet PCs are missing the point. From this point of view, putting Windows on a tablet should fail.

2) Steve Jobs does not think the PC form-factor era is over and clearly expects to sell more Macs in the future. He is in fact expanding the number of very popular form factors for computers from desktop and laptop to handheld and tablet.

3) By bringing some features from iOS back to the Mac, I think they are signaling that "post-PC" means evolving what is a seen as a PC to include some different concepts. It is not a statement that "tablets will replace laptops".

Yes I went to the eurid website and they had a facility to declare citizenship beforehand so you’re right, I simply assumed massive EU incompetence based on precedence, but in this case it wasn’t their fault.
Having commuted by car, rail, walking, and working from home, I personally think a quick walk to work is by far the best option. You generally give that up in car centric cities and it’s a huge loss.
I'm pretty sure people want Linux specifically, not any open-source OS.

As for Darwin source code, I'm reminded of the saying that if an economist sees a $100 bill on the sidewalk he says "if it was real someone would have already picked it up".

Car loans are 0% for anyone with good credit right now. We live in a managed economy now sadly, so you are actually throwing away money by paying outright instead of taking on interest-free debt and doing almost anything else with the theoretical reserve-principle; even sticking it in a checking account is going to be a net gain.
Surely that ship has sailed already? e.g. Xi's home 6E wifi router goes on sale in uhm 48 hours.
Now, that appeals to me more than any actual racing! I always enjoyed the DARPA challenge of autonomous, off-road travel.

One of the LZMA variants should be added to Chrome/Firefox and others as an optional compression format. Gzip compression ratio is brutally bad compared to the LZMA variants for text and binary compression. It would make a big difference to the web, especially for static but commonly downloaded data.
Your analogy would be more apt if the poster said '90% of nodes in the tor network routed child pornography'.

If it is true that 80% of hidden service visits are for child porn, then that would be more akin to saying 'X% of cars on the highways of america are drunk drivers or drug dealers'
In my experience they ask their children and grandchildren, which has become significantly harder during the pandemic.

Parler censors more than Twitter or FB. They give out bans like candy for anyone who is not right-wing nut politically.

If I were arguing in court, you would be absolutely right. The only thing you are missing is this pesky little thing called me arguing in court.

I don't have any reason to believe it would be possible to prove in a court that election fraud took place at this point, outside of confessions. That doesn't mean it didn't take place, or that it isn't reasonable to believe it took place.
Protestors, armed with guns and pipe bombs carrying zip ties as well. Who were seeking to stop the certification of the electoral college vote. Yes, insurrection.

Meetings are a result of having a large team (or many teams) which require work/information to be synced periodically. I have not seen a software product that can tackle this problem: I only want to see progress on team Y for delivery 1 that my team needs for delivery Gamma.

Also, strong, small teams usually don't scale well - which is why they sell themselves to megacorps who can (e.g. megacorps are much better when it's time to localize to 20 countries on 3 continents and navigate the legal labyrinth necessitated. All that work requires meetings to coordinate, even if legal ends up only asking the engineer a single question)
Hmm only a few points are valid in this criticism, I think.

- the jsx syntax helps hide massive nested functions. It would be a nightmare to manage any application without it.

- react has grown fat and does more stuff. Also it has a lot of foot guns with hooks.

- the create react app situation is absurd from this narrow point of view but when looked at from a project's perspective any team is going to choose it. The amount of features it offers out of the box would be insane to setup on our own.

- react has the biggest community right now and that will give a huge boost. Any good OSS library is not just about code and but also the community/ecosystem.

It seems weird to use specialized video decode hardware when videos are almost always played in a full-screen exclusive fashion. Like, other than loading, what is the CPU doing during those times?
Yep. There was talk of ANAME records at IETF but that doesn't seem to be really going somewhere

Some DNS servers implement something they often call ALIAS, but it's basically the equivalent of having a crontab mirror the settings of the records you're referring to, and breaks eg. geo-dependent address resolving (so not that useful for referring to a CDN, which is why you'd most likely want this)
