I happened across this the other day that should work with these: https://winampify.io/

> Winampify is a Web Client for Spotify using Winamp 2 skins

It's made by Rémi Gallego, who releases music as The Algorithm and Boucle Infinie.
Idk if this is necessarily Reddits fault because we've had tons of problems implementing universal links on iOS both via 3rd party and natively ourselves so I lean towards blaming the ios platform than the developer.
And we're back to punch cards. Full circle =]
Out of curiosity? Sounds like you've got your own opinion. A leading question is what they call that, lol.

I get my news from MSM, social, and a host of blogs and YouTube channels. Just like everyone else, I imagine. Only difference is I don't limit my sources by their viewpoint or bias. It's rare you find any source of news/information that's not slanted in one way or another. Knowing what everyone has to say about something is how you come to your own conclusions/beliefs. Critical thinking is the most essential skill one needs to read the "news" today.
How is this legal? If they are buying options to force the markets to rise like this, isn't this blatant market manipulation? Or is this okay because they have a lot of money?
That's really interesting. Do you know if this cluelessness extended beyond the military elites?
>I don’t see that they’ve ever invested in Bitcoin.

Apparently it was a personal investment:

Definitely disappointing, with a nearly exclusive biotech/tech portfolio during once of the biggest tech bull runs ever.

I'm surprised it took so long to find out that SoftBank was a whale. When Buffett makes a move, usually the market catches on pretty fast.
Not only that, but Facebook actively downranks you if you post a link to Youtube instead of using Facebook video. This is unethical and I wish more people would make noise about it.
He has a lot more power as the CEO of Facebook than "just" a retired billionaire. Which is what humans have craved since the dawn of time.
Not really. We understand a lot more about human error now than we ever have, and we design for it. A design which allows for human failure and fails safe is less good than one which does not. It would have been possible at the time to design out those failure modes. Does that not make it reasonable to talk about a flawed design?

I don't know if this bit is true, but specific reference is made in the show to the displacer rods being made of graphite because it was cheaper than an alternative material, which caused a problem because they acted as an accelerant rather than a moderator when the cooling rods were partially inserted. Fine as long as the control rods don't get stuck, or get pushed out by evaporating steam. Again (if true) that's a design choice which made the situation worse than it might otherwise have been. Is that not a flaw?
SkyScanner, my goto, has it.

I'll throw mine out there.

I have over a hundred videos on WebGL, and over two hundred videos total.

I haven't added a new video in a couple of years, but am thinking of getting back into it.
Nice!

1. Is it open-source?

2. Can I add models with REST API?

3. How do you handle large models? Are they working in the background or you just use larger severs?
While it may be true that what Google has become played a major role in taking everyone's privacy, I don't think it's fair to blame this on Larry. Much like Larry chose to remove himself from the public stage, so, too can we stop using Google products.

I realize it's a bit more complicated than this, but I'm not fond of your take here.
Boost is a brilliant app, never use the desktop site because it's junk in comparison.
I agree: bias is part of human nature, and cannot be fully removed from news. Given that, what's wrong with Stars & Stripes?

Also, I think GP question was pretty reasonable. Why are you trying to infer an "agenda"? It makes you look unreasonable.
Everyone has their own opinion. It's not a leading question.
There's a little too much hero worship in this article for my taste. Molyneux is not some wide-eyed dreamer whose hopes keep getting dashed by the mean nasty world. He's a serial liar who may have started out simply being too hopeful but has spent the last fifteen years lying to gain investors and happily screwing as many people on the back end as he can get away with. For example, he built the entire premise and hype over his Cube mobile game about having one single winner who could share or keep the prize. Bryan Henderson won it and the prize turned out to be a major role in Molyneux's next game Godus. Except giving out prizes doesn't make Peter any money so he told Henderson to go fuck himself and never contacted him again.

Yeah, and albums suddenly disappearing because the licenses ran out. Or, even worst: Albums being incomplete because certains track "aren't available".

I don't know. I use Spotify as a radio replacement, but albums I like I try to buy as FLAC files. If they are lost, it's my own fault.
So You’re Still Being Publicly Shamed
Facebook will typically lock such accounts until you give him pictures of yourself in your house with your driver's license.
Powermonger was a cracking game, played it on the Amiga. Definitely unique graphics of the time, decent gameplay. I remember that and Mega lo Mania being great games of that time and genre. Populous I never got into that much, seemed like Elite in the procedurally generated sense but with Elite it was less obvious.
You could get a Valve Index instead. That's not tied to anything IIRC and is at least as good as the latest oculus headset.
Unbiased news sources don't exist in today's world. It's up to you and your critical thinking to digest all this bs and come up with your own conclusions. What I'm saying is journalism shouldn't be about convincing you or reinforcing a point of view. It's about presenting facts without bias to let the consumer make up their own mind. That doesn't exist in today's over-charged political environment, which is a whole other discussion.
Not only that, but Facebook actively downranks you if you post a link to Youtube instead of using Facebook video. This is unethical and I wish more people would make noise about it.

Facebook once did the mute thing on my OWN recording of a classical Beethoven piece (long out of copyright) and it was infuriating. I would have used Youtube to avoid the problem except Facebook downranks Youtube videos I post and doesn't show them to most of my friends.
Median seems as valid an 'average' as mean.

Not necessarily. Bill Gates has a lot more "power" today than he did as Microsoft CEO. And I bet his life is a lot easier as well.

Isn’t VSCode electron? Somehow Microsoft ended up with an electron app that doesn’t have all the hallmarks of what people complain about. What was done differently?
How does he reconcile his form of degeneracy in fighting to keep people at the top of society rich and decadent while pushing the poor down? When people are pushed down too much they can also grow degenerate and decadent as the very rich and develop mental and physical issues which may devolve into drinking and other forms of drug use.

To me, this represents the paradox of morality. That in a closed (somewhat in this case) ecosystem the extremes can horseshoe around, which reminds of horseshoe theory in politics as well as this phenomenon of society seemingly rubberbanding when forcefully pushed to one extreme throughout history. I could go on about my pet theory of how it may relate to thermodynamic regulation on Earth's ecosystem, a self-sustaining form of gradient moderation, but it's too unsubstantiated.
It must be at least a little enticing to be one of the most powerful people in the world. I don’t know what his true goals are, but that must contribute a little.
That's exactly what libvirt lets you do. It uses policykit to handle the authorization, cockpit doesn't change that and still requires you to use policykit to control who has access to what.

Wasn't there was some sort of metoo thing that happened with Page, Brin, and Schmidt right before they all stepped down?
Your comments make it seem like you're skeptical of narratives often seen in mainstream media. With that in mind, do you believe:

1. That man-made climate change is not a real phenomenon, or that, if it is, it is not a threat to humankind?

2. That COVID-19 was deliberately released by the Chinese government, possibly with the help of Bill Gates and other powerful people?
The Day Malcolm X Was Killed
It just runs contrary to a lot of people's ideals for software. I don't spend my time thinking about Electron much but I don't care for it either. I guess it just rankles that it's really the easiest cross-platform solution we have.
Are you sure? If so, how? Because all the reporting on all of these topics is extremely politicized, and anyone on one side of the equation is guaranteed to say something like this.
The disdain over the new tech-enabled, eco-friendly lifestyle that COVID enables and nostalgia for the cramped, overpriced, traffic-infested demand-based lifestyle of the past decades is the new luddism, and it can only come from overprivileged ivy league professors (I wonder if his university has increased their enrollment, despite now being remote, or if they continue being exclusionary).

Do esoteric programming languages count?

There’s also a fairly huge subculture of abusing things such as Turing completeness (e.g. in CSS) to make tools and languages do things that they were definitely not designed to do. This isn’t just for utilitarian hacking, but also for completely aesthetic reasons (and maybe also for street cred and recognition for one’s mastery of obscure capabilities).

I think the difference is the stability of their finances. Facebook is not nearly as big or inevitable as Google is.
I like reddit for the niche groups that center around some topic. I haven't really found another source of this type of niche content. Maybe Facebook has groups or whatever but I have never used Facebook so can't comment.

On Android, I like Redreader which, to my mind, is simple, open and free. It was the my first experience using a mobile Reddit app and I really thought it stayed out of the way and let me read and comment in various reddits. I started using an iPhone and decided to give the official reddit app a whirl. This app is clunky and confusing and doesn't feel simple in any way. I have tried a few other apps (everyone seems to like Apollo?) but I haven't really found my home yet. I still really appreciate RedReader for its simple uncluttered ability to read and comment.

In the browser, I like using old.reddit.com. Their default version of the site is horrible. I can't stand it. On a computer, my preferred way of browsing reddit is using ttrv. It is the latest incarnation of rtv. It is command line, which might turn some people off, but is simple and easy to setup. I use feh to view pictures and mpv to view videos. I can comment using vim which makes it very cozy.

I guess it is good that reddit provides an api that allows hackers to develop alternative ways to access their site depending on their own personal preference. For now, their mobile official app seems to comprimise in too many areas to make it work for me. The new site (not the old.reddit.com) is pain to use.
"Bias" in terms of reporting (as opposed to journalism) isn't even a thing. When you do reporting right, you tell what happened. Who, What, Where, When, How. These are observable facts. You don't choose to report whether an explosion happened in Beirut or whether the President of the United States said X or Y in front of cameras. These are observable facts. You report all of it. "X number of people marched in Portland." That's a fact, report it. "X number of police killed people they were arresting in 2019." Another fact.

VOA & S&S did a fine job of this, as well as NPR, CBS, NBC, and the smaller parts of Fox News and CNN that report things versus get talking heads in boxes to talk about things.

"Both the Military Times and S&S suffer from the same bias as MSM" <- not an observable fact.

"Most people that serve are conservative leaning." <-that's not an observable fact.

"Orange man bad" <- ALSO not an observable fact, although reports of his criminal acts in and out of office may very well be. You get to make that judgement. The health of our society REQUIRES a free press to get those facts in front of all of our eyes so we can vote in an informed way.
Sometimes I wonder what the Reddit dev team even does.

Their search is crap, their app is crap, their new design is crap, their home page algorithm is crap that keeps showing stale content, their video player is utter crap that shows you 144p videos even on 100 Mbps connections. It's like they stopped giving a shit a long time ago.

(I use Reddit for 2-3 hours every day, despite all that. But of course I use RES and the RIF app, and stay away from politics subs. There's a lot of interesting communities that I learn from.)
You could write a thing and send it to someone.

I'm pretty sure that's part of the reason they want to shut it down.
Do you have anything for getting worse?
> So as long as the reactor vessel is intact it absorbs 100% of the neutrons? Going out as well as coming in?

Neutron diffusion is a statistical process, so yeah, a small amount of neutrons will escape through the reactor wall. But not enough that the neutron flux from one reactor would influence the next one in any measurable way.

> Because in a failure you’ll have only one pressure vessel between the two cores. If everything else goes right.

Yes, also in this case.
Also, Facebook actively downranks you if you post a link to other video/livestreaming tech (Youtube, Twitch) instead of uploading content directly to Facebook. This is unethical, and infuriating when you upload directly to Facebook and they play gatekeeper on things that are often not even copyrighted at all. I once had a video of me playing Beethoven muted. I wish more people would make noise about it.
The most interesting applications I've seen of QR-codes have been the most wildly impractical or useless.

When I still used my Pebble watch, my favorite watch face was just a QR-code of the time. So to tell what time it is, you have to scan your watch with your phone.
The website is down. Is it open-source? Do you know any open-source alternatives?
Why do you assume my opinion of Stars and Stripes has anything to do with the criticism of the current administration?
He has a very strong reputation but does he have more power now? Being CEO of Microsoft when he was was powerful enough to get congress interested...
It is process heavy outside of the dev flow, but that is more business side so it shouldn’t affect devs themselves much.

It’s supposed to be getting out of the way of developers.

It's new in the post WWII period though, which was characterized by a few newspapers and TV networks basically holding a consensus, with a bit of wiggle room for debate, but no outlier views. Uncle Walter and all that.
Zuckerberg owns Facebook in a way that no other major company (to my knowledge) is owned. He is a monarch that can override any and all board politics. While power sloshes around in other companies by tug of war, Zuckerberg's word is final. Given this, I don't think it's unusual that Zuckerberg would stick around. He, with Facebook, explore new possibility space in how a company can be run that few other companies in history can access.
>cultural/ethnic mixing

Those two, as far as I know, are the same thing. I know biological "race" has some negative connotations, but I guess you could also say "ecotype" to refer to roughly the same thing, which I reckon was what you were trying to do--correct me if I'm wrong.
This has been my experience as well. In that introductory period when you're first dipping your toes into a new topic I think youtube videos are great at getting you introduced to the vocabulary you're going to need to pick up. Sometimes a new topic can seem much more complex than it really is because there's a lot of unfamiliar terms being used and not because of the actual complexity of topic. Youtube is a pretty gentle way of getting familiar with the lingo so that you have an understanding of what exactly it is you don't know, and what to search to figure it out on your own.

There are some videos that are useful on an even higher level because they cause you to question your way of thinking on a subject. Rich Hickey's talks were like this for me and I think the video format really was the best for that. Some people are just really talented orators and things wouldn't translate as well to text only.

Bayesian probability is, from a certain perspective, a fuzzy logic but the operators of Bayesian logic are not the operators Zadeh’s fuzzy logic. Since types define operators as well as values, I'd argue that a “bayes(ian)” type should be distinct from a “zadeh(an)” type, even if they might usefully have a common “fuzzy_membership” supertype.

Now I'm rather curious what this "academic" way of learning languages is.

Notes from an online free-software conference
It may well be retaliatory, but not for that specific article/poll. The Trump administration proposed defunding Stars and Stripes back in February.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/the-stars-...

> In February, the Trump administration proposed eliminating all of the publication’s federal support in 2021. That’s more than $15 million a year, about half its budget. “I can’t think of a graver threat to its independence,” the paper’s ombudsman, Ernie Gates, told me recently. “That’s a fatal cut.”
Don't forget Notch. He took his money and bought a mansion and became a DJ.

TBH, if I made a pile, my interests would change dramatically. And running a successful company would not be nearly as validating.
Electron hate is starting to become such a meme lately.

I used to think the same thing until a couple of weeks ago when an Electron app crashed and took down every other Electron app on my computer. I thought these things were supposed to be sandboxed.
The options market is relatively small and many of the market participants are trading on the greeks, basically betting on what the rest of the market is doing rather than on the fundamentals of the underlying economic activities, so it's easier to trigger a thundering herd with options activity.
Sounds like you're trying to ascribe malice to a pretty reasonable question. I'm just trying to understand your position: if taxpayer money should be withheld from what you view as politically biased media, then should it also be withhold from explicitly politically biased campaign events? Seems like it should be, but then again I'd like to hear your opinion.
I don't think I ever tried drag and drop, but I've gotten copy/paste and window->display resizing to work in virt-manager after manually setting up the kvm/qemu guest tools.

I wish we could take comments from threads like these and turn them into a kind of compendium of HN, so that outsiders can know what to expect of this site.

Oh? What happened to the originals?
When I was 9, in 1993, I hurt my eye and couldn't go to school for a week while it was healing. To make it bearable, my dad somehow got me a pirated copy of the secret of monkey island from a coworker (he worked at a PR company so I still find that mildly surprising today). The game had a copy protection feature where there was a spinning wheel and you had to input some text that was revealed when you combined the top of a pirate's head with the bottom of a different pirate's head (IIRC). This was defeated by the office photocopier.

Eventually I got stuck on a puzzle that I just couldn't figure out. Rather than giving up, I sent a physical letter through the USPS to Lucasarts explaining where I was stuck and asking for help. A few weeks later, I received a response with Lucasarts letterhead with the solution to the puzzle. I actually ended up sending two or three letters to finally complete the game. Talk about a different time and place.

Of course a few years later I racked up $30 in hint line charges while making my way through Sam and Max Hit the Road. It took a lot of chores to pay my mom back for that.
