HypeMachine tracks the music being written about across thousands of blogs and still works for me as a great discovery / serendipity engine.

https://hypem.com/

Tracks link to artists on Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Spotify, the write-up that got them picked up by HypeM, and any work from the artist previously covered.

I usually listen by genre and pick those per the kind of work I’m doing. There are many genres. 98% of what I hear is new to me. I favorite and skip tracks and open especially tasty ones in new tabs for deeper-dives.

It’s always a pleasure to go back to my feed of favorites every few weeks. I revisit tracks i took time to explicitly like and have long uninterrupted sets to enjoy. This is usually when I do deeper dives and buy stuff on SoundCloud and Bandcamp.
> I think that's pretty normal and is meant to stop rules-lawyering when you do ban someone.

Which is fine for a free service, but is going to be a pretty big drag on the number of people willing to "donate" $1000.
That seems impossible or is 5g tech that easy? They are going to source all equipment from one or another European country at the end.
I also studied CS on polish university and I feel we had the best of both worlds:

Initial programming courses were electives, where you could choose between more basic or more advanced "intro to programming" course. Basic had python, while advanced had c and c++.

Similarly logic classes were in basic and advanced groups and it was easy to choose the group you want and switch groups during course.

In fact, I was the guy who came for CS degree after never doing great at math or CS in high school and it reaaaaaally helped me to get up to speed with the others.
Can say the same for Sweden. Somehow it also had this change at the same time.

Is there a way to connect Guitar to a remote server.

Or, are there other Git GUI's that work over SSH?

I can use VSCode, but it is not really a Git GUI, and doesn't satisfy my needs.
Yeah but if the community comes together and decides to ban another group, aren't they now politicians?

And if they then come together and actively drive out a criminal element, aren't they then the police?
Maybe we should let kids be kids and do kids stuff instead?

We know problems can be solved faster on a "quantum computer" as the term is defined; we don't know that the version of QM that our reality runs on actually allows us to create such a computer, or at least scale it up to a demonstrably (not provably! Demonstrably!) superclassical level. That's what the Quantum Supremacy debate is about.
what by ignoring their questions? the difference between engaging with their curiosity and forcing stuff on them is... not at all nuanced, really.
Linux security has been criticised[1] for not having security enabled by default, and for allowing users to disable the security measures. This leads to users avoiding setting minimal-rights policies, and leaving the doors open. When security is optional, policy issues in distributions also aren't fixed quickly.

To limit applications rights to a minimum, SELinux, firewalls, and (systemd) sandboxes are all tools that could be used, but aren't in most installs. However, I think we are still lacking user-friendly interfaces (opensnitch is ported from MacOS).

One idea could be to let the desktop environment restrict one more capability a application on every run, inform the user before running it and ask the user after if the software worked correctly. That would gradually lead to a minimum set of software rights.

Smoking, drinking and driving without seatbelts all cause health risks to third parties (in form of second-harm smoking, crime&domestic violence, and bodies flying around the vehicle during an accident, respectively).

I think it would be better to discuss the "protecting idiots from themselves" angle using activities that harm only the people engaging in them.
Ahh my bad! Great work!
Some universities will let you skip intro courses by passing a test.
"its more difficult to get into IIT than Harvard"

By what metric? I doubt that everyone who got into IIT could get into Harvard.

But I may be a bit biased because I work with some IIT graduates who are a bit underwhelming relative to the reputation of their alma mater.
There is a state standard in England and Wales (and another standard in Scotland). It's called the National Curriculum, although I'm not sure if it has a different name for A-levels.

There are multiple implementations of that standard, in the form of exams that meet the standards. The government checks the exams satisfy their standards.

For example, an exam on history might by on the 20th century Britain, and a different one might use 19th century Europe.
There is no choice to be made. Once too many disks fail the entire array has to be taken offline and that's exactly what happens.

> If your host is an animal lover, you don't pick up roadkill on your way over, either.

It all comes down to the "plants don't have feelings/aren't really alive" bias we have.

Some people will go to great contorted lengths to justify the destruction of something, using words like tradition, aesthetics or honor and justice (like for war) or just "the way it has always been", and if you try to call them out on it, they'll get angry at you for trying to stop them from destroying something (as seen in the other comments here) :)
Absolutely true, it's risky, and that's why we have strong government regulations about what research to do and how to do it. I think we can reasonably argue about whether those regulations are strong enough, but I actually think the process (in the US atleast) is working. They were allowing this research under strict conditions, they found out that actually mistakes were more likely to happen after some incidents, so they took a full 2 years to completely re-evaulate, produce a full report and a new regime designed by experts.

They chose a 1-time payment model (which funds an interest-generating endowment), which seems a lot weirder than a subscription.

This actually makes sense -- if the goal is long-term set-it-and-forget-it, it solves the problem of getting a new credit card every few years & forgetting to change this service. It also eliminates any recurring payment-processing fees.

The back-of-the-napkin math checks out: accounting for storage, data-transfer, and business overhead, if they pay around $0.20 / GB / year, and they charge $10, then with 0 interest they would still have your files for 50 years, which is probably longer than your children will have your password to this service.

I still wouldn't trust it -- I have a pavlovian response to the combination of "permanence" and "give all your data to this new internet service". Maybe it's irrational here, but still, this product is at the wrong layer of abstraction for me personally :)

depending on your OS, there are ways to mount a remote ssh location locally, which means that you can use any GUI you want (but it will be slow).

I really want a hybrid command line/gui git client. Either a GUI app with a terminal front and centre, or a command line tool that has some commands to use UI style things.

I hacked together a bash script that prints out all the branches and lets you click on it to switch to it and it's been pretty useful, just wish I could be bothered to make it properly with more features.
If you completed the course, and had a contractual obligation to, I don't see why not? Would it matter if you had paid up front, still got a job, and lambda shut down later? I'd think the only argument is if you got an honest education or not.

> XP styling was pretty good for its era.

XP was skinned like a very tacky Fischer Price toy, with garish colors and oversized elements that would have been more at home on a touchscreen. I don't think anyone called it a good theme unsarcastically. Why do we even need always visible scroll bars? They just take screen space and billions of people do fine without them on Macs and mobile OSes.

> I find this point surprising. I would say the exact opposite. I would say that pub/sub and event sourcing are two sides of the same coin: events.

I meant in the context of getting it right. I didn't experiment with all the pub/sub systems at the time, but most I experimented with would lose data in a catastrophic event and cause inconsistencies. This was several years ago though.
I was 16 and learning FORTRAN at school. I was a lazy bum at that time (well, that stayed ;-), didn't really prepare, and at the final exam, the teacher asked me in what order the program is executed. Not knowing any better I replied "a value is calculated when the rest of the code needs it" (like in regular math that we did a lot at the time too). She said "not correct, it executes in the order it is written".

-- I doubt she knew anything about functional programming back then.

-- It took me 40+ years to get to the universe where this answer was not completely laughable.

-- And meanwhile what 16 y.o. kids were doing at the time, 6 y.o ones are capable of doing now.
This is a stupid argument. Is one to suppose that the brain teasers that were popular in interviews 15 years ago implied that universities weren’t teaching people to be clever or something?

I think a lot of interviewing style is fashion driven.

Also computer science isn’t necessarily about actually coding anyway. It’s mostly about algorithms and structure and complexity. Similarly, anyone who knows anything about university mathematics courses does not expect fresh graduates to be particularly good at arithmetic
Talks about zero-sum. Uses things based on the results of said zero-sum system. Makes you laugh and cry at the same time.
The question of the kid was legit, but the "a free theorem is when you can say something that is always true about a function machine if you only know its type, but you don’t know anything about what it does on the inside" is likely not what he asked for.
Automate HR Away
> I'm quite sceptical about relying on cloud services for my data.

I'm quite skeptical about relying on VC-funded or publicly-traded cloud services. An actual non-profit could be a lot more reliable: as long as expenses are less than income, there's no pressure to grow, and it could go on forever.

The big thing I'm skeptical about is growth in data needs. 5GiB free iCloud was more than enough 5 years ago; when I upgraded my iPhone, suddenly all my videos take 8x as much space. $10 for 1GiB forever storage sounds OK now, but what happens in 20 years when a single photo is 500MiB?
You got me interested so I looked for the English translation. Taken from Constitution.org

> Article 100

> There shall be liberty of the Press. No person may be punished for any writing, whatever its contents, which he has caused to be printed or published, unless he wilfully and manifestly has either himself shown or incited others to disobedience to the laws, contempt of religion, morality or the constitutional powers, or resistance to their orders, or has made false and defamatory accusations against anyone. Everyone shall be free to speak his mind frankly on the administration of the State and on any other subject whatsoever.

I always get interested in how other free speech laws are worded because I enjoy the way Madison worded the First Amendment so damn much. When somebody points to an Article # or something like that, it makes my pursuit of this hobby a bit easier.

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Compare and contrast. One is a grant, essentially a permission, to the people of Norway, and the other is basically telling the US Congress to fuck off because it has no right nor permission and not even a wink and a nod to make any law on the matters which follow. The liberty is inherent, Congress’ powers are not.

Mind this is a translation, I unfortunately do not know any Norwegian to verify the original Article 100.

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.x...

Now compare and contrast with the California State Constitution. I’m providing a link because it is much wordier, and starts at Sec 2 and runs for a few more sections. While California is under the same structures of as the First Amendment in modern times, that wasn’t always the case. If you read the wording here, it is downright inferior to both the US First Amendment and the Norwegians Article 100, spares too many words, and phrases it’s equivalents mostly in a manner of a permission under the CA Constitution rather than telling the State legislature to fuck off. An unfortunate choice, but most of the State’s Constitution is a long tragedy of errors and poor choices, one of the most unfortunate being the choice to grant voters the right to amend the bloody rag by referendum.

False, India as a country only existed since British rule before there were many waring states.

No, but imposing tariff on Chinese steel is protectionism, having Special Economic Zones when you are above $1000 GDP per capita is offering unfair subsidy and harming global trade, there are many more of these acts slowly haemorrhaging economy, automobile sector went into debt citing higher cost of inputs (steel price went up as government added duty on Chinese exports) and now that industry is raking even more debt, inflating bubble and when this bubble will pop, you'll have strong of NPAs.
I traveled a lot and studied in international schools, embassy sf schools and schools in USSR as well as US. I was born in USSR so I mainly studied there between my travels, and everything that I saw and experienced came no where close to the curriculum that I had in motherland. So I have to disagree with you.
Cool project! Doing things like that from scratch can teach a lot.

Was your implementation able to write to the SD card, too? This seems like the much hard part to me because you need to do implement the data structure changes and block allocations for files. Reading from a file system often boils down to following the right offsets until you get to file content, at least in journal-less file systems.
Imagine your garbage collector runs for 30 seconds. It will cause timeouts.
Agreed! My kids are slightly older but we've long enjoyed a roadtrip game that's a variation on 20 questions: "give me an input, I'll respond with an output, then you guess what the 'machine' [algorithm|function] did". They'd get to provide one input, I'd respond w one output, then they'd get one chance to define the operation -- to which I'd respond only yes or no -- before the next person's turn to test it. Whoever solves it gets a point (if we're keeping score; not important). Then the next person gets to be the function maker. They got pretty good at hypothesizing plausible solutions and refining them to hone in on the precise answer, and it was more interesting than standard 20 questions.

It's also fun to go beyond strictly numeric types, eg responding to a number with the name of a country, or turning a letter or word into a number, etc.
How about having to hold the button for 5+ seconds before it activates?
Normally, people choose around 10 GCSEs (taken in the school year they turn 16, the school year starts on 1 September). They choose 3-5 subjects for A level.

For GCSE, "minor" subjects can be abandoned -- I stopped studying art, "technology" (design/engineering) and German (since I continued with French). At A level, the majority of students focus on closely related subjects (e.g. maths and science), which I think is the weakness of this system.

Harry Potter has essentially the same system (GCSEs = OWLs, A levels = NEWTs), this isn't something J K Rowling invented.

It's unfortunate your sister couldn't study more subjects. Parents who knew the system might have been able to push the school to allow her to study more, but I can't find anything online where parents/students are grumbling about this. (Again, Harry Potter has the same situation -- Prof. Snape says he only takes the best students into his NEWT class.)

Some very good points here, I haven't been using Stack in a while and I can hardly believe they could come up with something like that! What a nightmare...!
I can't fully agree with the rant about scroll bars: so easy to reveal them by just scrolling (easier than a mouse click), but a lot better in terms of aesthetic. Of course a compromise, but an acceptable one. I would rather prefer scrollbars on desktop to be larger, because they are not visible most of the times anyway, so why make them such small targets that are difficult to click on?
The author seems to be critical towards flat design, what are the arguments around that? The emotional impact of design is not something that can be disregarded that easily, it's legit to expect a modern UI to be efficient and slick at the same time. Aesthetic is paramount, for the same reasons why typography matters. Users nowadays expect to deal with a clean, lightweight UI, rather than with one that looks like it was designed in the Pleistocene.

In addition to the points in the article, it's also worth considering that the amount and kind of work you're doing at the moment also likely isn't normal for remote working.

That's because if your company is client based, many of said clients have likely stopped paying for work at the moment, and many organisations are struggling to find anything for their employees to do at all. They're also likely going to use this time to focus on internal projects and maintenance too, since that's the kind of work that's available right now.

So if you do remote work after the pandemic/lockdown ends, you'll likely have a lot more on your plate than you do at the moment. For better or worse.
It may as well be called 2000.css, at least I won't be able to tell the difference.
Except that they didn't ban anime. Not even close. From your link a little further down: https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/comments/fho2ii/patreons_ba...

> They're not banning anime. They're banning the fetishization of young girls, which has been against the community guidelines for quite a while:

> However, we have zero tolerance when it comes to the glorification of sexual violence which includes bestiality, rape, and child exploitation (i.e., sexualized depiction of minors). This is true for illustrated, animated, or any other type of creations. Patreon reserves the right to review and remove accounts that may violate this guideline.
It's worth noting that the entire shtick of "We don't get paid unless you get a job" is bullshit. Those rights to part of your salary can be sold off to other people, and that has already happened several times - so Lambda got paid whether you got a job or not.
