FWIW, my current project is a pretty typical web stack (Flask/SQLAlchemy) and the build time was bad enough that I switched back to debian.
In a web stack, you're likely to have a lot of external imports, so I'd say you're generally better off with debian. If you're doing data science and only importing Pandas then you'll be fine as you can switch to the apk.

You've changed the question. Amazon already pays 100 different authors in this scenario--they each get paid for the single page that was read from each of their books. Paying for 100 books would be much more expensive than paying for 100 pages like they do now.
Remove the Downloads removes the corresponding album, so I'm not inclined to find out if Delete from Library does the same thing.

Why wouldn't they call it "Delete Playlist"? And why does Remove the Downloads remove the underlying album, instead of the correct behavior, which is to remove the playlist from my phone but keep it in the cloud and my other devices?

This is bad no matter how you gloss it.
I don't think most technical startups are that interesting (especially as a non technical person) in a pure 'solving the problem' way. What makes it interesting is all of the real world variables that come with it.

Admittedly I'm not personally a technical person (I studied marketing and now work in sales), but as an example, just as I find it more interesting to work on the creation and process of making real world advertising than it is to do pure academic 'marketing' research.

Patrick McKenzie has an interesting bit on how running a software company is something like 90% not coding. That's where the interesting bit comes in, the actual business that surrounds it all.

But I think it all ultimately comes down to how are personally wired. Some people prefer working on pushing the limits of theory, others work on practical application, and some people work in the middle somewhere. All are good!
This quote from the section on the Capability Inquiry:

"The type of instant-matching that is, as of now, still based on proprietary messages between Ableton hardware and software (or similar systems from other companies) will instead be universally available through MIDI 2.0"

is misleading. The "matching" between (say) Live and a Push 2 are not based on proprietary messages sent between them, but merely on both ends knowing which messages to send. That's why an open source DAW like Ardour can also interact with a Push 2, in the same "instant-matching" way that Live can.

Since MIDI is an open protocol, it is always possible to determine what messages are being sent. The capability inquiry is a good idea, but it doesn't replace the sort of carefully-built match between the hardware controller and the software that already exists.
I see they're still using dithered PNGs instead of JPEGs for images.

The first time I saw it (I don't have the numbers handy now) I ran some experiments and it seemed clear to me that a JPEG would work much better, and if dithered PNGs were really a good option, more people would be doing them. This was on photographs, where JPEGs are kind of a home-run and PNGs aren't good no matter what you do to them.

This time they're doing diagrams, which would probably be best as regular PNGs - The dithering requires you compress a pattern that's almost noise, and a JPEG would add artifacts without being any smaller.

Here's some other thoughts:

- WebP does exist, but of course you have to do some negotiation to avoid blank images on browsers that won't decode it.

- The site is behind CloudFlare anyway, so if it's a static site with no auth you can probably just put the whole thing on CF / AWS / whatever and it won't use more energy in the cloud than proxying for your own server already does.

- CloudFlare probably has a button that re-compresses everything as WebP for you.

- Economies of scale always apply.

On scale: The transmission losses for the whole US grid is well under 10%. If solar is such a great idea, build a solar farm and run 1,000,000 websites. Or 1,000 houses. It'll be more efficient than putting panels on individual houses or servers. There is no power source that gets more efficient when you have a bunch of individuals running it instead of a power company. Whether the power company is trustworthy is a question of politics, not technology.

This always gets to me when I see EV chargers with VAWTs at a grocery store. If VAWTS are so great, why isn't the grid building them? The grid already has the big wind turbines which are presumably more efficient than a VAWT. So why not buy power from the grid? Because it's a PR stunt.

In short, I wish they'd be more clear about it being a cool thing and not a practical thing. Solar is practical. Wind is practical. At scale.
Is there an impact on battery vs true native?
What does that even mean?

"Target" I guess could mean that it could compile to code for those virtual machines? That would make some sense although for a language that sets out to compete with/replace C it would be a bit strange.

For "consume" I don't know ... do you mean "call into", or something?

My nieces are mid-teens. They had CDs played to them for lullabies and the like when they were little. By the time they were old enough to want to play their own music, it came in the form of YouTube or streaming.

They’ve never ripped a CD, or bought an individual track for download. Two of them have no idea what a “file” is. The third thinks a “file” is some bygone shibboleth known only by dorks like their uncle.

They all have iPhones, of course. Two are on MacBooks. One has the airpods. None would be caught dead with a model more than one behind the current.

I’m willing to gamble they are more representative of apple’s target demo than you or I are.
> This chart, as is is extremely misleading because it gives readers the false sense that you were 100% right, and your future predictions are highly likely to be true. Instead, if readers saw your past predictions were mostly wrong, they wouldn't have this false perception.

Just hit the button to toggle to the log scale version of it. A exponential fit is appropriate and past predictions using an exponential fit would be good. :P Do you understand how to fit data series? My fifth grader could hold up a ruler-- align it the the beginning of the yellow line and each subsequent point and see how reasonable of a prediction they are of future points. He'd say "Yup, it's pretty straight!" And even for the red line, though a little less so.

Yah, it would be cool if they'd tell us r^2.

> And if readers saw your predictions were mostly wrong, they wouldn't be alarmed in the future when they see "experts" predict 10% of the world would die 3 months after a virus is found.

Note that exponential models predict everyone will get the disease and everyone will die if you extrapolate out far enough. (Actually, -more- than everyone heh). Obviously we don't think that's the case. But it's a pretty damn reasonable way to see 3 days forward in the early phases of an epidemic.

I don't ever want to give a website access to microphone because someone could turn it on via an XSS. Websites on the whole seem to be far more vulnerable than mobile apps because:

1. their code is refreshed on every load,

2. their software is often updated on a daily if not hourly basis,

3. they will often pull code from remote sources on every page load,

4. they don't even have to pass the minimal review and code signing of an app store,

5. and it is very likely that they are written in javascript.

I agree with your general point that better permissions would improve the situation. For instance asking each time it wants to use the microphone, rather than an approve once model.
Do you have another platform (ideally self-hosted) in mind? I used to run a WordPress instance for my personal site but took it down after it got annoying to stay on top of the frequent updates and security fixes.

I'm surprised this article doesn't mention the lengths he went to hide his money using shell companies.

Per the official criminal complaint document:

Around the time of the Flash Crash, SARAO took significant steps to protect his assets. In late April 2010, SARAO established a new entity, Nav Sarao Milking Markets Limited, which was incorporated in Nevis. SARAO appears to have created this company as part of a tax avoidance strategy pursuant to which he also established, in 2012, International Guarantee Corporation, incorporated in Anguilla.[1]

> This would be abused like any other slush fund.

That's a Fully Generic Argument against any pool of government money for any purpose. The law could be written in such a way that the money is allocated for this specific purpose.

> Plus there’s a natural adverse selection bias as all the “really good” patents will go the private route.

A valid critique. The long-term goal, of course, would be to expand the program and phase out pharma entirely. An intermediate step would be to increasingly offer grants to academics with the stipulation "if you take this grant money, you must go the public route". In much the same way that now, any research published with NIH funds must be open-access within 1 (2? I forget) years.

> The current pharma pricing system milks the American consumer so as to subsidize the rest of the planet.

Yes, but...

> The real answer to all of this is to pass a law that drug prices in the USA have to be less than anywhere else on earth.

And you don't think this would negatively impact the rate of drug development? I do. Price controls are also a very drastic step in terms of American law. They tend to have...undesirable side-effects.

If I were pondering general solutions in the area of what you are talking about, I'd prefer laws drastically limiting the amount and type of marketing pharma can do. And ideally supplement that with FDA-provided, more objective material for consumers and MDs about the actual, objective benefits and risks of various drugs.
Correct, by no means am I claiming it's dangerous to use standard MPS, but I understand the mechanism of action with hydrogen peroxide better and it seems extremely effective. I wear Cooper Biofinity's and rarely take them out, aside from a minor abrasion that caused me not to be able to wear contacts for a month a couple years ago, they've been drama-free.

However, peroxide solution does have some big drawbacks. The better two-stage systems where you add a neutralizing solution to the peroxide when you're about to put the lenses back in I haven't been able to find in the US, and this is the safest gold standard (as you're leaving max disinfection power until right before you get them in your eyes). All that's sold are 1-step systems with a catalyst disk/ring at the bottom of a special case.

While I haven't had issues with the catalyst wearing off of the Clear Care cases, some of the other brands seem to not work as well and if the lens case is left in a sub-60F room, it will not neutralize in time. Honestly, this wasn't something on their documentation and if I wanted to be a pain about it I could probably put a consumer safety claim in. Putting un-neutralized peroxide solution in your eyes is a pretty traumatizing experience, worse than hot sauce. I don't recommend it!

EDIT: I'm not an optometrist/opthamologist, but I'll tell you how I got the background on this stuff: I did a project with some dude on IRC that was like the human bat, he had severe photophobia. We studied quite a bit about the characteristics of various contact lens technologies in preparation for our project. He wanted to acquire tinted contacts and vary the % of opacity. (I'm aware J&J is selling transitions contacts now and unsure of their efficacy but at the time the only options were extremely expensive traditional hydrogels.)

Long story short: We downloaded a bunch of patents and he built a small lab and dyed his own hydrogels using their patented processes. It was a neat and very illegal project, but he got his own sun contacts so he didn't have to live in his cave anymore and I got a ton of semi-useless knowledge.

> capabilities similar to -- and at least as powerful as -- type templates, value templates, constexprs, concepts, and conditional compilation (preprocessor), with a single feature and keyword

are you sure ? zig does not seem to have something that looks like concepts (an issue is open : https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1268) nor a way to put restrictions on a given type passed to a function or series of function.

e.g. it seems that what in C++ would be (with concepts, but the same can be written more verbosely with C++03 templates if needed)

void f(IsFoobar auto x) {

}
void g(IsFoobar auto y) {

}

would require in zig to have a comptime test for the "foobar" nature of T in every function, which looks like a downgrade and does not expose the requirements cleanly in the function interface.

You can't really blame an underfunded pension system on somebody who has been governor for a year. Illinois pensions are like many municipal pensions: they were unreasonable the day they were negotiated, and have only grown less reasonable over the many decades since.

There are lots of things wrong with Missouri. Our justice system is brutal to poor people and basically corrupt. Still, our cities are quite violent relative to other cities in USA. The "Department of Natural Resources" has rules to protect the environment, but very few of them are ever enforced against those who are willing to ignore them. (The one time I followed this trail all the way down the rabbit hole, the "Chief of Compliance and Enforcement" claimed that the courts always overrule him when he does choose to do his job, so this issue could be related to the first.) Important infrastructure is allowed to deteriorate while vanity projects get top priority. As a state, we'll vote for Trump again later this year, even though it's clear at this point that his previous anti-war rhetoric was nothing but lies. And so on...
To compare, I’m a solar powered user. All summer I work outside on a notebook writing apps, powered by several combinations of solar panels and matching batteries.

On the whole it works. Excess PV panel capacity charges battery, ensuring enough backup to run during unfavorable angle, cloud cover, weather, shadows, and night.

Most common issue is re-positioning panels every few hours to favorable angles & avoiding shadows.

Greatest concern is prolonged cloud cover, depleting batteries after a couple days of insufficient light. The cost of preparing backup against “multiple standard deviations” is substantial, buying rarely used batteries (and extra panels to charge them in reasonable time) - hundreds of $ of gear (2-4x base cost) used maybe one day a month. Winter makes this outlier the norm, magnified by its own outliers.

Also, one becomes very aware of app power consumption. Found one web page (AgileCraft logout page) pulls 30 ways for no good reason.

I’m sure solar powered web server would face comparable issues. Depleted batteries are a brick wall, waiting for not just light & time to recharge, but to run the system ASAP.
I have no issue with this, although having to open up competition to companies regulated by external regulatory bodies does kind of highlight how regulatory capture has destroyed the ability of the free market to solve this issue internally.

True competition is almost always a good thing.
No. Warren did not narrow it to only about voting.

Here is her own website: https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/fighting-digital-disinform...

Edit: after read through the webpage, I realized that although the webpage talks about lots of things, but she did only propose to criminalize disinformation about voting. But this still feels dangerous. It's really like a tactic from authoritarian governments. They would talk about "disinformation" as a broad concept, and propose to criminalize the worst ones, and then expand the scope of regulation under the same concept.

Not going to respond on the rest of your comment, but on insulin, I want to rebut the idea that generics are the same as "fancy and more convenient" versions. They are completely different drugs with different (and far worse) clinical outcomes.

You might as well say "infected people won't have amputations like we've been doing forever. They must always have the fancy and more convenient antibiotics instead."

The fact is, because of intrinsic differences in the types of insulin, a regimen of NPH and/or R can not help but have a significant increase in diabetic complications (including amputations, as in my statement above) than a basal/bolus regimen of Lantus/Levemir and Novolog/Humalog -- all of which have been available for something like 20 years and all of which have seen predatory price increases.

I have a hard time believing this, and I've been making apps on both platforms for >10 years. And I love react-native. My latest day job is basically forking popular react-native packages, often rewriting them in Swift, fixing numerous bugs, and adding features specific for our company.

And all this experience has taught me that in no way can you expect anything but the most basic, ugly CRUD app from a JS dev. I have tried many times to assign "just" the cross-platform code to a javascript person and it never works.

What do you do when there are native build errors? Xcode needs to be upgraded, or parts of your RN modules are deprecated? Gradle files need to be actively maintained. There are features and UI behaviors that are difficult to grok without some background on the individual platforms (e.g., push-notifications). There's also combinations of packages that can break your app- "react-native-sound" and "react-native-audio", the sound and microphone packages respectively, modify the same singleton on iOS. Adjusting settings in one breaks the behavior in the other! How could a JS dev possibly hope to solve something like that?
