> I can not find the songs only alternate versions from other people who made a cover version of the song.

Try some jazz like Coltrane or Miles Davis. It seems they never stoped issuing albums - remastered, Coltrane for lovers, Miles for cooking.

It is next to impossible to find original album or remastered original.

Yesterday on Youtube Music oldest Coltrane album was from 2015.
> and yet people don't litter.

I don't buy it. See CydeWeys's comments around this thread. Also, having lots of people cleaning the streets only makes it look like there's little littering.

> I think it's important to tackle the issue from both ends.

Sure. Thing is, tackling it from the corporate end will be ridiculously more effective than trying to instill new societal norms.
> People really should stop comparing plane autopilot to autonomous cars

Agreed, but it's Tesla doing that for marketing purposes that's the cause of these comparisons, not the people objecting to Tesla doing that for marketing purposes. Aircraft autopilot systems are relatively simple systems with a lot of instrument support and redundancy that relieve pilots of the need to hold a yoke in normal flight (with the latter bit being what the public tends to focus on). Tesla offers extremely complex software which makes more decisions based on less straightforward inputs and relies entirely on the driver holding the controls at all times in case it makes a bad decision.

> The move to Unicode is not "incremental" by, like, any measure.

The unicode improvements in Python 3 are definitely a step in the right direction. But there were certainly good ways of improving unicode issues without breaking compatibility. Things like print are a joke, no one should care about its semantics.

> Just... get on with it, you know? Move to Python 3.x and be done with it.

Pretty easy to say. But try convincing product managers to take 5 devs off their current projects for 6 months to port a working production app to a newer programming language, with little concrete evidence that it will have a meaningful impact on the project (other than introducing bugs).

A standard Red Book audio CD cannot install malware to your system. It was the data CD with music that Sony shipped made it possible.

This is why, I, sometimes a CD buyer, believe all listeners of Audio CD should try maintaining the status quo of CD, as defined by the Red Book, and resist/boycott any attempt by the industry to "make a better CD" (e.g. SACD, Audio DVD, Audio Bluray), or "add more functionalities" to the existing CD standards.

Technologically, I would be happy to see a Doubly 5.1 Bluray Audio CD playing at living room from my surrounding speakers (better channel separation allows improvements of sound reproduction even on speakers of moderate quality), or CDs with real filesystem and error correction (an Audio CD by its original design, only streams music in real time, as if it's a digital LP track. There is no way to even know if the data you've just read from the disc is correct or not [0]), or a FLAC-encoded stereo CD (it would allow 30% more songs to be recorded on a single CD).

However, I'd better to live without them, as history has shown: all the newer standards would definitely be more "consumer-unfriendly" at best (go to any AV forum, and see the compatibility issues caused by HDCP [1] for example...), and malware at worst. The Audio CD, even with its historical limitations, is good enough, it plays lossless music with 44100 kHz sampling rate, and it did/does this job well.

Also, you may have noticed the recent renaissance of LP discs, and some LP lovers' arguments of how analog has better sound quality. While I don't believe those arguments are persuasive, I'm highly supportive of the LP industry for the same reason - you cannot install malware on a LP disc.

I use Waze during my daily commute and it regularly gives me a warning about a stopped vehicle on the road or side of the road; would a crowdsourced system like that help for autopilot so they change their algorithms slightly to detect stopped vehicles more better? Or just reduce speed? Or alert the user and disable autopilot well before the location?

I'm aware that would be creating an exception for an exceptional situation and not really a root cause solution, but still.
At least we in tech can easily practice our craft outside of the startup world and remain financially secure.
The Sonos app does that for you. Likely their implementation of Spotify is not as slick as the native Spotify app, but you can for instance search for songs and see results from Spotify mixed with results from your local collection.
Yeah, and this works for any "algebra" (ie. vector space with a way of multiplying vectors.) The three legged thing is what they call the "structure constants" for the algebra.
There's no question that Python 3 is an improvement, but the question is whether it's an improvement worth breaking every existing Python app. Especially when many of Python 3's features could easily have been backported to Python 2. Python 3 is effectively a new language. People will be running Python 2 for many more years to come.

Fork the project, prefix the command with your company name and tell them to use that command with the patch applied if they need it today. This solves all your problems.
> Guido had a good retrospective on the shift, while the change was hard and painful, it needed to happen for the language to be easier to work with longer term.

He was wrong. It is far harder than he anticipated, and it did not "need" to happen to grow the language.
> And for a game like this, there's really no point in trying to make those puzzles by hand. That's a job for a computer.

A hundred good puzzles with a difficulty ramp-up would be way preferable than 100 randomly-generated 'probably? interesting' ones.

I much prefer puzzle games where there's a 'trick' to solving a puzzle (like the puzzlescript genre, Pipe Push Paradise, Build Me a Snowman, Stephen's Sausage Roll), or mindless automatically-generated puzzles from Simon Tatham's collection.

There's a deeper thing going on here that should be mentioned because it applies in so many places: the platform is the enemy.

That is, once you create a platform to do X, the purpose of the platform becomes "get people to use the platform to do X", not X. They sound like the same thing but they are not.

An example: Facebook, I guess, is all about sharing things with your friends. But over time it quickly morphed into an engine that was only concerned about how many people would spend their time on their site sharing and consuming things, not about sharing. So people "shared" by posting memes from other places. They shared by copying crap and fake articles. They "shared" by playing dumb and addictive games for hours at a time, asking anybody they could find to help them milk a fake cow or something.

If you cared about sharing, you might think about a wise investment in time, both for the sharer and the folks consuming what was being shared. But if you think about whatever you could pass off as sharing, then you might think about virality, demographics, psychology, and so forth. Worse yet, you'd probably do whatever you could to prevent people from talking about real sharing. After all, that would be a huge hit to your site's metrics. It might even involve an existential crisis.

Likewise Medium cared about blogging and publishing, but only in terms they had predefined and could control. As they started looking at their numbers, they started refining their definitions.

The same thing is happening everywhere, for instance YouTube. YT couldn't care less about average folks making creative content to share, even though that's the schtick. What they really care about is reliable non-offensive video content being regularly produced and consumed by the most numbers of people that they can sell ads to.

I'm not saying that any of these platforms are evil or ran by bad people. My point is that by defining a platform and business model that's widely-adopted, you end up preventing any sort of change, quality improvement, or re-imagining what the important drivers are for that platform. I can change what I consider to be high-quality video to create, share and consume ten times a day. YouTube cannot. Same goes for Medium and text content. The platform, the idea of fixing quality attributes for complex things into code, is the natural enemy of serious consideration and evaluation of the thing the platform supposedly supports.
Change is scheduled for 20 May 2019.

I think a normal person’s interpretation of the “autopilot” term even when it comes to planes has nothing to do with the technicalities but rather an overview of what it can do: fly the plane for hours with little to no intervention. A plane never needs to avoid lane dividers though. And when the plane’s AP disengages, pilots have more than fractions of seconds to avoid a crash and possibly death.

I think this is what people expect from AP now, because that’s how it’s marketed: to do the heavy lifting 90+% of the time and when it fails and disengages It should give plenty of time to react.

Going forward AP will start to mean more and more “fully self driving”. Because that’s what some manufacturers claim it can do short of pesky legislation. So no supervision, no disengagement, just “piloting automatically”. And everyone pretty much has similar expectations from “automatically”.
Successful ABX test only proves that no differences can be heard for some particular pieces of music, but not for all possible music material. There are edge cases (especially where noise is involved) that can never compress perfectly without overfitting the compression algorithm.
I keep pointing this out, but Spotify's shuffle algorithm is absolute horrible. It plays the same 10 or so songs for hours on hours before it moves on to the next 10 or so songs.

Their offline feature has become rubbish. Every morning I have a 10 minute walk to the train station and I usually open spotify right after I lock my door. Throughout this walk, spotify has played for about 1 minute in total, on a good day this number might jump up to 4. Sluggish as hell. When I open any of the items (my songs/home/individual playlist) the first time I load up the app, it doesn't even load for several minutes. So until it loads, even that 1 min or so, I can't even choose a song.

I've been wanting to move away from spotify, and for me, the only other viable streaming platform is Google Music (does that still exist?). Having tried it for a few months, and completely cancelled spotify, it's the same shit but combined with an even worse UI. What gives? I have a Galaxy S9. One of the top of the range Android phones. I used to have a Xperia Z3 Compact. Which at the time was pretty powerful.

The annoying thing is, from here its hard to move away. The only thing I've found that makes it easy for me to move away is some project called spotitube, which matches songs against YouTube and downloads them from there and converts them. So sure, if I used it, I'd get the songs back, but now it's shit quality and it's illegal.
Thank you for saying this. If it was Alex Jones in jail for the same reasons, you can bet folks would be cheering.
Another reason CDs are still worth considering: classical music and, to a lesser extent, jazz CDs often feature extensive and informative liner notes that have never been posted online anywhere. I myself typically rip all my purchases to FLAC immediately and then I listen through my media centre, so I often forget that I have the original physical release there on the shelf, but when I do go back and look at that CD I am often amazed how good the liner notes are.

Broken quotes reformatted for readability:

----

> It tells new contributors, "guilty until proven innocent," which is a negative message that creates negative emotions. Contributors who feel unwelcome will always look for alternatives. Driving away contributors is bad. Making slow, quiet enemies is worse.

> It gives maintainers power over new contributors, which many maintainers abuse. This abuse can be subconscious. Yet it is widespread. Maintainers inherently strive to remain important in their project. If they can keep out potential competitors by delaying and blocking their patches, they will.

> It opens the door to discrimination. One can argue, a project belongs to its maintainers, so they can choose who they want to work with. My response is: projects that are not aggressively inclusive will die, and deserve to die.

> It slows down the learning cycle. Innovation demands rapid experiment-failure-success cycles. Someone identifies a problem or inefficiency in a product. Someone proposes a fix. The fix is tested and works or fails. We have learned something new. The faster this cycle happens, the faster and more accurately the project can move.

> It gives outsiders the chance to troll the project. It is a simple as raising an objection to a new patch. "I don't like this code." Discussions over details can use up much more effort than writing code. It is far cheaper to attack a patch than to make one. These economics favor the trolls and punish the honest contributors.

> It puts the burden of work on individual contributors, which is ironic and sad for open source. We want to work together yet we're told to fix our work alone.

----

> Good contributors who know the rules and write excellent, perfect patches.

> Good contributors who make mistakes, and who write useful yet broken patches.

> Mediocre contributors who make patches that no-one notices or cares about.

> Trollish contributors who ignore the rules, and who write toxic patches.

----

> PM: depending on unspecified, arbitrary criteria, patch may be merged rapidly or slowly. At least sometimes, a good contributor will be left with bad feelings. OM: good contributors feel happy and appreciated, and continue to provide excellent patches until they are done using the project.

> PM: contributor retreats, fixes patch, comes back somewhat humiliated. OM: second contributor joins in to help first fix their patch. We get a short, happy patch party. New contributor now has a coach and friend in the project.

> PM: we get a flamewar and everyone wonders why the community is so hostile. OM: the mediocre contributor is largely ignored. If patch needs fixing, it'll happen rapidly. Contributor loses interest and eventually the patch is reverted.

> PM: we get a flamewar which troll wins by sheer force of argument. Community explodes in fight-or-flee emotions. Bad patches get pushed through. OM: existing contributor immediately reverts the patch. There is no discussion. Troll may try again, and eventually may be banned. Toxic patches remain in git history forever.
I guess the CDs are the symbol here more than anything else.

At my workplace we run VMware over NFS served by Netapp clusters. It's very stable, performs well, is easy to manage and has functioning HA. We used to have a SAN but Netapp worked well enough that it was decommissioned.

My favourite moment operating one cluster was when I intentionally caused a kernel panic and core dump on a live production system to gather debug info for an issue we were having. It had zero observable impact. :) Netapp is not cheap, but they seem to know what they're doing.

It was not an autopilot that crashed the two jets! Even if it had been, that would not change the fact that autopilots are a solved problem for IFR. The operating conditions where they can be used are clear, regulations are in place, and the risks are known.

I'd actually compare the Boeing "assistance" to the Tesla "assistance" as sometimes the craft will decide to steer into solid objects based on misinterpreted sensors. But the comparison is a stretch.
It’s not really Spotify’s fault. They are at the mercy of the master provided to them. For the most part Spotify sound quality is very good. Tidal has issues with poor masters as well - some songs sound worse on Tidal than Spotify, and vice versa.

> The law can't handle willful lawbreakers that way; otherwise criminals would develop strong ethical reservations about all sorts of stupid things.

The law or rather the judges make judgement calls all the time. Does someone get bail? Does this person hide something? Is this interpretation by a lawyer sound? What mitigating circumstances should be considered in a judgement?

It's not like people ask for something unprecedented here and the law up until now was some mechanical process that always lead to the same outcome.
Are all these really need? According to this https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux... to me sounds like only "mitigations=off" is the one is needed, no?
I'm glad this was rejected as it was a terrible idea. If it wasn't clear back then, it certainly is obvious today.

I have to agree with Drepper: It tried to solve an easy problem that didn't really matter - in a very messy way - without addressing the hard part, library dependencies.
How Much Alcohol Is Safe to Drink? None, Say These Researchers
If they named 'auto pilot' 'auto driver' it would at least be possible to have a sane discussion about the extent of the gap between the name and the actual performance. Since they named it 'auto pilot' we can not have that discussion because 'auto pilot' is a term that applies to aircraft, not to vehicles and you can not expect your average driver to know what the auto pilot in an aircraft can and can not do. Presumably laypeople will assume that an auto pilot in a plane is more complex than one in a car because they perceive aircraft as more difficult to operate than vehicles (and rightly so).
