I don't care about what the official policy is. I care about the outcomes.

Your reasoning means that the most optimal move for Russia would be to nuke you, today, before your anti-MAD system is in place. It will, after all, save more Russian lives then being attacked by an unassailable adversary in the future.

The fact that you consider nuclear war to be winnable is horrifying. The whole point of it is that everyone loses. That's not defeatism, that's the only sane way to deal with two sides having end-of-the-world weapons.

I really don't think it does. If you spend 3 months straight on a single (which isn't out of the ordinary for my friends who are still in the scene) you're approaching the same level of time input per song, but you're still on a tighter release schedule.
I really wish the Krebs site rendered better on mobile browsers. It's a bit of a pain to read.
Depends. Market share certainly does not completely answer this at all.

Some Android phones are dirt cheap. If they’re the same price and functionality and you have no cost of switching due to platform lock in, most everyone probably will take the privacy respecting option. Some people care first and foremost about price (whether by choice or not). Evidence from the growth due to the reintroduction of the iPhone SE seems to corroborate this.
Light pollution ended star gazing with the naked eye and required astronomers to move to dark environments. Low orbit constellations of satellites will end astronomy research from the ground and require high orbit telescopes.

Is this really a future we want? Or Will there be room for establishing dark satellite terrains?
That is amazing. There are so many good links in the peer comments. I worked at STMicro, then briefly at Arm, then at IAR. I never once encountered Ada. Two separate worlds!

I don't think there needs to be an alternative, but Bandcamp needs to put more effort into getting more artists on its platform and for those artists to expand their catalogs. I buy a lot of albums on Bandcamp but it's annoying when I see a new release somewhere and the artist isn't on Bandcamp, or when an artist only puts their latest album there.

Bandcamp could also put more effort into recommendations based on a user's purchases, or just when viewing an artist's page. Not "we recommend this new album that is trending" but "this artist is similar to this other one" in the style that the old what.cd site had, with its massive graphed connections from one artist to another based on style (within a genre) of music.

Sure, code can be art, but most isn't, and the software that the code comprises is almost always functional rather than artistic in purpose.

This is in LEO so the damage would be limited - these are designed to decay and fall out of orbit in a few years - and so would most debris.

Most communication satellites (currently) have much higher altitudes, where such an event would be much worse as the debris would stay in orbit for much longer.

I've found some feeds where people produce mix of other people's work. It's been a great way to discover more great tracks in that particular genre.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg4sBFBtLRE

When I craze the music often enough I go and purchase those tracks in bandcamp. This particular music mixer has a ton of content and clearly goes out of their way to sift through a bunch of music in that space they think is worthy to compile into a collection which they do a good job of.

Their mixes are reposted to soundcloud too I think.

Obviously the guy knows nothing about creativity and art.

He's not telling bands how to be successful artistically, he's telling them how to be successful financially in the modern music world.

If the band is only interested in promoting their art, they can do anything they want. If they want to earn a living too, they need to provide the market what it wants.
I've long dreamed of sailing the world. The biggest obstacle is being able to support myself while doing that, and looking at existing boat satellite service is really depressing.

Does anyone here know if between this, Starlink, and OneWeb, it will ever become realistic to work remotely from a boat in, say, the middle of the South Pacific?

Tolerance becoming the dominant ideology in an intolerant society is much easier than merely remaining dominant in an already tolerant society. If it could do the former while society tolerated intolerance, then surely it can do the latter.
I couldnt wait to escape the pre-internet dreariness of suburbia and attend college (MIT).
Same here. I had an Atari 8-bit and couldn't wait for the Amiga to be released. The ST fell short of expectations but was still lots of fun that I couldn't get with the 8-bit like Megamax C and Minix. Gem was fine but not that exciting and I had the higher res monochrome monitor so not many games just Magaroids and Balance of Power.

I read the post as a fairly complete collected history and overlooked the incoherence. There were some details I didn't know or had forgotten. I had a good view of the Atari side of things as I had connections that got first ST units and early beta software and programming docs.
> OOP is a crazy academic-esque idea that happened to stick because it works at scale.

I suppose it's weird to be young enough that you're first exposure to OOP is it being taught in an academic environment. It must make it seem like it was dreamed up like some kind of formalism and spewed into your brain.

But before OOP languages and everything that you describe, people using plain old procedural languages were already coding in an OOP style because it's obviously beneficial. Languages later came along to formalize patterns that people had used for years. For a more modern example you just have to look at the Linux kernel which includes a lot of OOP principles even though it's all just C.
Natural language aptitude seems to predict programming ability better than mathematical aptitude.[1] Should we be surprised that fans of foreign language TV seem to have some talent for programming?

Yes, it does seem like OOP and functional are on opposite sides of a spectrum. OOP is all about having and controlling state, while functional is about being stateless. I think my own code would benefit from being more functional, but that's hard to do in a OOP infrastructure.
That isn't the same at all. Canonical being a major backer of Linux is significant, but Linux is significantly open and diversified to where it does not stand or fail by one party, abet there are some that have more influence than others.

Sure you can, someone will buy that $32B in nVidia stock for $20B. Which is still more than ARM is worth.
Yes, absolutely. The idea that nobody should starve because they can stroll up to an intersection and fill their pockets is based on a lot of assumptions that are simply untrue.

The US is huge, some people would have to hitchhike quite far to get to a high-traffic area. There's also no guarantee of receiving any handouts at all, so I'm not sure I'd use the word "easily" (or even "possible"). And after hitchhiking and begging all day, praying for a few bucks to buy rice, you're not actually going to want to buy rice. You're going to want alcohol, or something fatty and sugary, or just plain drugs.

Your framing of this problem trivializes a terrible, dehumanizing experience, and is out of touch with the reality of the impoverished middle-American.
I listen to a lot of music but I’d never go to a live show (can’t think of anything worse) and I’m not going to wear a branded t-shirt. How do they capture revenue from people like me in your model?

Most musicians who need to pay rent don't do it from Spotify. They play gigs: bars, weddings, parties, etc.

Publish your work on github. Software is not your product, it's your marketing.
In the US, those rates are set by Copyright Royalties Board [0] and then collected by SoundExchange [1]. The current rates for streaming on a subscription service (such as Spotify) are $0.0024 per performance.[2] The rates aren't determined by Spotify, again in the US, so it isn't Spotify's fault if the royalty per stream aren't enough to live on.

If you want to 10x, I suggest an anime username as well.
Right, but my point is that if you're absorbed dealing with market forces you won't be able to produce significant work. The more cookie cutter stuff you release, the more you will adopt that mindset and it will consume your creativity.

I guess in the past musicians toured and performed to satisfy that need, and relegated the "important" work to long term writing/composing. With Spotify (and specially now with COVID) it seems this has changed since the only way to generate income is by releasing music.
What Is MTLS and How Does It Work? – By Benjamin Porter
For everyone worried about these satellite's effect on astronomy, don't the new satellite launch capabilities that make "internet-from-space" suddenly feasible mean that telescopes could be more easily put in orbit too?

It seems like that would solve the light pollution problem. I have no relevant background, though.

Not wishing to be unduly harsh, but come on guys ... less time spent on the fancy web design and more on content please.

When a disciplined company like Microsoft buys a creative company like tiktok, the best Microsoft can do is monetize it. They will establish content providers. Create distributors. Add a healthy ad network.

But most undoubtedly, the creativity and innovation that tiktok can further yield will disappear. And this will lay the next foundation for another company to take over.
Really? Do you have any stats to back that up?
I'm not familiar with many musicians paying the rent with their music and it seems to me that you either make it big, or keep your day job.
I never see an important system management principle brought up: If you get a user complaint (for some value of "user") and not an alert, you should fix the monitoring system so that you don't get another occurrence of it or related problems. Obviously that's within reason, depending on the circumstances; the effort might not be worth it.
What kind of anime profile picture, if you don't mind saying? Is it a character who resembles you and shares your attributes, or one that's dramatically different?
This is helped with practice.

Our family’s cultural/religious background instills this process from a young age. Every evening, starting with the youngest child, everyone has a chance to say what they are thankful for that day and they are also given space to say ‘I’m sorry if they feel they have wronged anyone.’

We teach the other children not to respond “that’s okay” but “I forgive you” to properly acknowledge the wrongdoing.

It’s amazing how joyful children get with these simple rituals.
Same experience here. I just can't fathom spending this much money on a phone right now or in the next 2-3 years.

Having used Django's ORM, SQLAlchemy and JPA (via Spring Boot), it depends on the ORM. E.g., JPA's automatic query generation[0] is very convenient while still allowing plenty of options for handcrafted SQL, if needed. I'm the kind of person who enables logging of ORM generated SQL so that I can see exactly whats going on under the hood; so far, many hours saved with very few complaints. This assumes a well defined database model - if that has issues, all bets are off.

I do.

But I think you'll find most folks who do are older and/or fans of specific genres. A lot of acts in some genres don't release "albums" like you're thinking of anymore.

Beautiful idea. Courses that improve over time iterated on research would be amazing.
While the chosen line of inquiry is intrinsically intriguing and offers promise of potentially very many valuable results, this initial effort uses activity as a proxy for skill, a metric which seems potentially confounding without the ability to demonstrate strong correlation between quantity and quality of contribution.

I'd like to see edits detailing such a correlation, or else the use of a more reliable metric. Unfortunately, as the matter stands, the weak metric used renders the strong conclusion in the manuscript unsupportable, and I cannot approve the manuscript for publication in this form.
It's the most successful programming paradigm in history. I feel like being anti-OOP is like being anti-vax. It's so successful and ubiquitous that it's success becomes invisible and so people only focus on the failures or misuse.

Complaining about OOP requires an entire object-oriented software stack to post your argument.

by that logic, breathing and eating would also fall into this category, as would literally any action taken by a living thing.
What you say is true, but there are plenty of smart people who start in the trades and then leverage their way up to making millions in business for themselves. When I said I had plenty of friends who were successful without a college degree, I was specifically thinking of auto mechanics. While I'm the typical "developer" type you reference, my main hobby is classic sports cars (which started during my time at college, coincidentally). From that hobby I know quite a few "high school only" folks who are now independently wealthy and fully satisfied with their lives, from building up automotive businesses.

Sure, hash maps hide lots of internal state which isn't relevant to outside code.

Ah, good point, thanks. I misread the first sentence of the comment I was responding to as being about the server's public key, so I was assuming password authentication.

I had an iphone 4, when it was time to upgrade, I saw the prices as too high, so I opted for a nexus 5.

6 months later I had already switched. It was supposed to be a highly polished Google phone, and yet it had very weird bugs. As an example, I remember hearing a weird tone from the phone every once in a while, even with the phone silenced, but there was never a single notification about what was happening. At some point I discovered that the phone was automatically trying to read my contactless card, and there was simply no way of turning it off, I was forced to avoid placing my wallet anywhere near my phone, which I found ridiculous
I used to hunt for music and movies. I was an enthusiastic movie and music fan. But these days, I mostly give up. I listen to underground/indie artists and some classical music. I ignore popular music and movies, especially those promoted on big platforms like Spotify.

It's sad that many talented artists are brainwashed by these big platforms. They chase after big money. They don't produce anything original.

I think the same thing is happening to software.
