From my memory as a kid.. I remember winamp was amazing. I had many skins and it was all beautifully hooked up in my IRC client.

And then, at some points, the UX completely changed. It also started being spammy. Almost like the project was sold to some incompetent people. Then I felt like it lost its magic. It also happened to be the time when streaming from Napster became possible and I completely switched to it.. and then to grooveshark/deezer/all-the-others.

Winamp could have been Spotify but went in a completely different directions. Saying that may sound crazy, but that's what Netflix did. It was selling/renting dvd, saw streaming coming and did a full 180.
MLFlow: An open source machine learning lifecycle platform
Unfortunately, we software developers are unusually precise with language. I'm sure that Google (and now DDG) get better results on average. But yes, I spend an awful lot of times strategically adding quote marks to Google searches that at one point would have just worked.
China is taking the opening that the failed con-man is creating, not because of leadership. But by sheer incompetence.

Perhaps sooner :)

This is how you communicate with people with JavaScript disabled! Kudos. Most sites either present you with a blank page with no information, a blank page asking to enable JavaScript (even when the content is just text), or silently break some features.

That kind of respectful messaging alone is making me want to take a closer look. Though it should be “then you will be able”.

"But here are some problems."

The opportunities are insurmountable.

"...a very low resiliency because it depends on national grid."

Grid will become massively decentralized. Transmission costs are already greater than production costs in many systems, a trend that will continue.

We'll get resiliency "for free".

Others have already commented on demand shifting. Additionally, producers will innovate, creating new "products" to meet unique customer demands. Like colocation.

"...nukes and nat gas will not be competitive 99%"

Current nukes must be propped up for as long as possible, stopgap until renewables can overtake.

We'll definitely need new nuke options, like small modular reactors (micro reactors) and reprocessing. (My future perfect is traveling wave reactors, but that's a long ways off.)

We need to phase out natural gas asap.

Readings in Computer Architecture – How to Download?
How can I download this book in its entirety? Link below

https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.5555/333067

If I understand correctly, ACM has made its published material to be available free of cost to all its readers for a while.
When I log in, I do not get any option to download the entire book anywhere.
I can see on left 2 options - "Save to Binder" and "Export Citations"

This is one book I have been wanting to read for a long time, but if the only way is to download the papers individually, then that is the route I would gladly take.
But if the entire book can be downloaded in one go in either PDF/ EPUB format, that would be so awesome!

Dr. Richard Hipp? Thanks for all your work. The world is a significantly better place thanks to you.
I remember trying to play it on Linux using Wine back in 2004/05! I don't remember if I succeeded! It was the only one thing that I missed from the Windows world.
You know what, that could be the solution to fix the internet.

Years ago before ads, the only people that published stuff were the ones who were legitimately interested. They were publishing out of love, not greed.

Today, all kinds of low quality content is published because they want ad-revenue. It makes it very hard to find the high quality content.

I say don't pay any of the creators. Then the only creators left will be the ones not doing it for money.

Wait, drop out rates are down. People are more likely to finish education then they used 50 years ago. Maybe the top who goes to college did not raised up that much, but average if you include low performers did.
Surely it is pretty efficient of the brain to remember things one uses and `forget' things one doesn't use.

I say `forget' as `learning something for the second time' tends to be much easier than the first time.
I had a run in with a client who kept sending me packages that I didn't receive. Turns out she was using the address listed in the automated Google info box for my business - something I had no hand in, and which was incorrect. It looked ostensibly like my address, but was fundamentally not.

Obviously it would have been better had she used the address listed on my website, or indeed the signature of every email I've sent her for the past few years, but she's a human, so allowed to make her own mistakes.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with Google making mistakes on my behalf however...
So is s-domain superior to Fourier domain for stability analysis only, or are there other reasons?

Yeah; soundjam was like a slightly refined version of WinAmp, still had skins and visualizations, but it was limited to Mac only. iTunes original few SoundJam-based versions weren’t too bad, it started getting messy as tons of features besides music playback were jammed in.

Yes but then you need neither sum types nor user-defined generics, you can just build-in whatever sugar is useful or necessary (possibly repurposing existing sugar e.g. the `select` statement).

While redirecting or displaying something based on the referrer is a cool concept, it won’t work. Referring traffic from google maps shows up as direct traffic unless yiu specifically add tracking code, which the OP can’t do.

The only way to deal with this is to get the listing removed. Use The google my business redressal form to do that.
Why did you base64 it? I was expecting an image, but if it's just text, why didnt you just post the text?
IME it does deliver. Not necessarily directly (like, you're not going to come up with an action plan white meditating), but, over time, it helps cultivate a state of mind where those things are easier to do.

I think it does take time, though, like between 1 week and 1 month of daily practice, to start noticing the effects.
Good point. I picture our friends and family having some sliver of responsibility for our wellbeing, however slight that burden may be.

While you're here I have to thank you for your go torrent library, it's really nice !

I have never used S3's torrent capability, but at this point bittorrent is pretty much "done" -- there's not much to add to make the protocol better without breaking compatibility, which means there's not much support to maintain a working software.

But I'm not sure about it, maybe they don't participate in the DHT or don't use PEX, so that could be something they can improve.
Even if you never write or work on a compiler in the sense of a program that turns source code text into assembly, many programs (or parts thereof) are compilers in the sense of turning data or code in one form into another form.
That's amazing, congrats for the launch.
Does anyone have experience working with Solidus and/or Spree at scale? I know that Solidus is a fork of Spree, and from what it seems, Shopify is based off of a heavily modified fork of Spree. Couple of questions:

- How easy is Spree/Solidus to customize?

- Why did Solidus fork from Spree? How does this factor into whether I'd pick one or the other?

- Are Spree and Solidus compatible with each other package ecosystem wise?

- Which one has the most traction as of right now? While Solidus seems to be a relatively recent fork, Spree still appears to have more activity. Why is this the case?
Ritchie: I liked procedural languages better than functional ones.

ChrisMarshallNY: I suspect that he understood functional languages quite well. He just didn't like them.

Your statement doesn't follow from Ritchie's words that you quoted. Preference of A over B does not have the logical consequence that B is disliked. It doesn't even imply that A is intensely liked.

So many conspiracy theorists in this thread when by far the most obvious explanation is the dude just snapped. Maybe he was a CI. Maybe Brinks lets you withdraw money that way for certain businesses. Either way neither of those things lead to his rampage.

The story of this is that if he was in fact a CI, that the RCMP let him get away with crimes and violent behavior so he would keep giving them info.

But for people saying this is a false flag, come on...
Pivot to OSCP instead.

CISSP will have you learn the required strength of a light bulb to light the alley behind the office. OSCP will introduce you to overflowing a buffer and pwning a remote service...

I know which one I find preferable to learn :)

Well AOL bought it ... Milking something as long as possible instead of innovating is kind of their thing.
That's pretty similar to every node-based shader editor I've seen - and in turn shader editors are similar to other of node-based environments where there's a graphical output (compositing software springs to mind)

(Not being difficult for the sake of it. I think it's important to focus on the things that make Stamper different to similar tools)
For a full release you are probably right, but a release that can only build iOS apps with swift and swiftui would be quite easy for them at this point.

Sure, there's always more work to be done.

Technological progress in production, like automation, reduces the proportional costs of labor, thereby accelerating inequity.

Because surplus (profit), not siphoned by management, goes to the investors (providers of capital).

This has always been true.

Some notable exceptions are profit sharing arrangements, like early Walmart, Microsoft, etc.

(Edit: Toyota too. They explicitly reward Labor for productivity improvements. I don't know if that's still true, generally. More recently, Haier has their own unique strategy for innovation and empowering labor. I'm super keen to learn more about them. I have no idea if they share the surplus more fairly. Of course, co-ops explicitly share the surplus; can't believe I forgot about them.)

Seems to me that everyone, everyone, is determined to not see the pink elephant sitting in the living room.

Paul Krugman is maybe closest, with his theory that "job stealing robots" is a convenient cover story for decline of Labor.

Like how Big Timber deflected blame for job losses onto the spotted owl away from automation.
Lots! It has discovered about a million X-ray sources, about twice as many as previously known about. Most of these sources will be active galactic nuclei (supermassive black holes that are accreting material) in distant galaxies. There's still lots of work to do in characterising these objects though and understanding the population.
KeePassXC is my current favourite. Some of the keyboard shortcuts don't seem the same as KeePass though. Nice piece of software though.
To me it sounds like they basically just lied to the maintainers of the BoxOfficeMojo list, because it’s a list of revenue, and their movie did not create any revenue at all, even though they rented a cinema and did five screenings, nobody paid to see the movie.
Particle Fever (2013)
I suppose there are a lot of reasons to short sell a stock, and as a laymen I always felt it was just traders manipulating the stock market casino at the cost of real businesses.

Not sure who was/is shorting Tesla, maybe they just don't like Elon, or maybe there is something going on.

With the "big four" accountants/auditors seemingly being corrupt, and governments ignoring this, or worse being complicit, how else can the financial health of a company really be known?

It now comes down to a hedge fund with the skills to do so realising a company is cooking their books, shorting it as quietly as possible. Then they drop their PDF on Twitter and watch everyone else get screwed.

Rather than EY/KPMG etc. doing their job and warning investors/regulators before the problem gets so big it crashes the stock.

Another example, NMC Health being shorted by Muddy Waters at the end of last year, a FTSE 100 company with EY as the "auditor" since 2012.

At this point, it would be straightforward for Apple to release a limited version of Xcode for iOS, and I expect them to do so, maybe even this year.

It would only use Swift and SwiftUI, and only target iOS.
So that their experience does not influence anyone else I guess.
Ok but you said they could do that using an IDE - why isn't that enough?
People like you don't need any of that.

'It's not ours': Government denies knowledge of strange UFO over Japanese city
Whatever the intent, or the side effects, mindfulness is still beneficial for individuals. Skepticism is healthy, but sometimes we need to place more weight on first-order effects, otherwise we’re paralyzed obsessing over which and how bad guys will benefit from the things that benefit us.
To be honest I was 80% sure it was Haskell but I do hate acronyms being used without sufficient context for the average reader to understand them. The post should have had the word "Haskell" in it. It certainly helps understand what "linear types" probably means.
The linearity and randomness aren’t the main problems. Play length and run-away winner are far worse issues. It’s possible to lose the game in the first couple of trips round the board and still have a couple of hours of slowly being ground down. One person might have fun no one else does.
Well, it never officially did. From the Macintosh Garden page I linked:

> Despite Apple's claim that the SDK was available for Intel Macs only, some clever developers soon realized that all the frameworks and programs the SDK delivered were compiled as Universal (PPC/Intel) code while the compiler configuration files were ARM/Intel only. Moreover the installer checked for Intel architecture and denied installation on PPC Macs. Installing the .pkg archives manually and repairing the compiler configurations made the iPhone SDK run completely on PPC Macs.

One of the mistakes Git made was that the hashes don't describe what algorithm was used to generate them. That makes backward compatibility and incremental upgrades harder. MultiHash is a solution for such issues: https://github.com/multiformats/multihash

AVS works pretty well in Wine
OCaml/Standard ML are both pretty nice because you can still use mutation, and the languages are significantly simpler than Haskell.

My only gripe with them is that there seems to be a culture of having zero type annotations (due to HM), which can make reading other people's code difficult.
That looks great! I settled for foobar2000 after giving up on Winamp not long ago, but one thing I sorely miss is cue file support. That is, being able to add a cue file that points to a flac/mp3 file and have the songs show up in the playlist.

Though one thing from foobar2000 that I'd miss is Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP plugin, as I listen to music mostly via headphones. Does reAMP have something similar?
Winamp definitely had its appeal in the "small but packed with features" category, but it always seemed to lack polish.

These days my go-to music player on Windows is https://github.com/digimezzo/dopamine-windows

It is open source, super clean and polished. At 33mb it is not quite as compact as Winamp, but not bad for today's standards....

How is it "backfiring"? It seems to be working for billions of people. If you've got a non-compliant TLS implementation that broke you get to keep both halves, good luck with that.

you're thinking of an exploit in spdy (the h2 predecessor) in which the headers were just run through the same gzip context. The HPACK format in h2 and h3 is meant to remove those oracles. (though it is less effective bytewise than gzip).

I checked this post when it was first submitted and the only comments were arguing this article is proof of a false flag. Now they are near the bottom but I wonder if the several like-minded comments immediately after submission were coordinated or a coincidence?

This level of conjecture matches the tone of the article though, so it feels thematically appropriate.
