Just how much JavaScript do you have to use for it to make it a significant difference? If you serve 100k of JS (please don't), at 1 million hits per month you're looking at 100GB. Even at EC2's obscene pricing, this is still just $10/month.

If you're that stingy, why aren't you just putting the entire website behind CloudFlare and calling it a day?
The thing is, convolution based guitar amp simulation is not going to sound like guitar amp, because convolution can't model the nonlinearity. You might get otherwise interesting sounds, but not what is usually considered the electric guitar sound.
I wonder how many clicks an article could get with a title like: "Alex Jones Denounces Satanic 'Green New Deal', Scientists Propose Nuclear Energy Alternative".
... is what people have been saying about Nuclear literally since Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. Had we started back then we wouldn't be in this mess. I argue not pursuing any nuclear solutions in favor of solely investing in solar and wind, we may well find ourselves saying the same thing a few decades from now. Time to get going!
I've done that. Ignoring that it takes a few days to receive a dumb, what you get is just a subset of data.

I've been a Spotify user for over half a decade, but the oldest date I could find in the dump was a little over two years ago.

I then contacted their support asking for all data, but I've made a mistake of contacting them with a wrong email address (which lead to them being unable to find my account) and I haven't bothered since.

In the best case scenario, I'd say it takes a week to get the entire dump, which is not very convenient for switching to a competitor.

Isn’t this essentially what Decentraleyes does?

The period in "3.14" is called a "decimal." The digits after the decimal in "3.14" are enumerated as "decimal places." What each decimal place "means" depends on the numeric base.

So, "decimal places" or "rounding to a decimal place" has nothing to do with base 10 (which is what I think you are implying): decimal and "decimal places" exist in all bases, including base 2, and the meaning of each "decimal place" depends on the numeric base (base 10, base 2, etc.).
Could you expand on what you like in SuperMemo that you cannot get from other apps?
No probs, thanks for the clarification!

I tend to be in the camp of "nuclear power generation risks are extremely low when well-operated and maintained by responsible and effective governance".

Meanwhile I'm also in the camp of "governance and maintenance tend to degrade once systems are widespread enough that people begin to be less accountable and become more complacent", which means I'm skeptical about whether scaling nuclear energy generation is a good idea.
They're pretty good for getting votes at the ballot box too.

It's been my observation that the tenets of many political ideologies are predicated on false dichotomies. Or even out and out falsehoods.

I have a different question about timing on stock exchanges. What social good is being served by the ability to trade at microsecond frequency? Are individual investors or non-HFT participants being "fleeced" in every transaction by those who are able to take advantage of timing?

If this is a problem, I had this notion that stock markets (or the clearinghouses or whoever responsible) should slow down the allowed frequency to aggregate all trades within, say, 1 second, and do the clearing/price setting at that frequency. Surely being able to trade at the speed of 1 second is not a big loss of utility -- for the "legitimate" trading going on.

Can't we stop this timing arms race? Or is the problem I'm thinking of not actually a concern? Are millions of us paying half a cent to these HFT trading firms' profits with every trade, just like the old notion of shaving a half a cent interest off of everyone's bank accounts to make some clever criminal rich?

It was impossible for me to spend 8 hours a day in front of a screen until the end of the 90s. I still have a 1999 CRT monitor and I don't have that problem. This feeling of pain in my eyes is something I wouldn't want to experience anymore.

Sorry, my post was misleading, I was convinced to use -A- packer, so WebPack, Parcel and FuseBox in that order. WebPack had the best documentation hands-down because 4 weeks ago I didn't know what a packer did, I had been purposefully avoiding them for years. Now that I know way more about the concept/theory, I'll go down the list. Although I'm reluctant to waste too much time because my experience trying to bring all of the frameworks I already use into webpacker was so painful. But I really am pulled in by hot module swapping...
> A product about optimizing products, followed by a series of blog posts about making such product, making-of videos, and finally an ebook telling you everything about the launch of the product and how you can apply that to your products (hopefully real). Aren’t we all tired of these marketing treadmills?

This actually reminds me a lot of the way pyramid/MLM schemes worked back in the 90s (and probably still work now). I got briefly snared by one of these things as a kid, and the materials were certainly of high perceived quality (nicely bound, etc.), but it didn't take long to figure out that the whole thing was about selling the thing you were being sold. Similarly a massive proportion of Amway's revenue, and the revenue of successful Amway members comes from the sale of materials and seminars related to building your "business". The household products themselves are very much a sideshow.

All these deeply meta, self-referential product optimization products have a similar - slightly grubby - feel to them. Old ideas repackaged as new. I mean, I suppose fair enough if you can make a living out of it and you're not actually scamming anyone, but how many of these damn things does the world really need?
> So what? This isn’t the biggest issue on the web. And I’m certainly guilty of misusing CDNs like this.

I just love this person's attitude. So many blog posts try to beat you over the head with some opinion that doesn't feel like such a big deal. The disclaimer on this actually gave the author a lot of credibility in my mind.

Great post, and I will consider my opinion changed on this topic.
I'm happy with Spotify and tried to figure out what this story was about. I saw "SongShift Pro starting at 4.99 USD/month".

Do people go for a monthly pricing for this kind of service?

I mean transferring playlists from an old service to a new service sounds like a one-off thing. Does someone really need it continuously?
I used to have around 10 CRTs at a given moment in my collection, 5 of which were usually in my trunk, ready to go at a given moment.

The weight made transporting them absolutely horrendous. I find it ridiculous to think that it's not worth spending time, money, and research on smaller form factors if possible.

I will take the compactness and weight of a modern LCD over a CRT any day.

The only reason I had those CRTs was the smash bros gaming community needed them, as the nintendo gamecube natively outputs to 480p. Which makes modern displays untenable due to their upscalers, which take different amounts of time to upscale. (480p) CRTs are consistent.
Acceptable where?

In this side of the Atlantic, most employees can be ensured to be properly remunerated and if it is a recurring situation, place a complaint in the government agency that regulates work law, which will proceed to do the respective investigations on work abuse.

So if employees choose to be exploited, that is their own problem and should not complain if at the end get shown the door when hard times come up.

I think this will push me to finally just jump to Apple Music (even though it’s worse and will now be harder to do, plus I’ll miss discover weekly).

Spotify’s attack on podcasts with exclusivity and trying to destroy the open standard really bothers me: https://stratechery.com/2020/dithering-and-the-open-web/

Now with this I just don’t have much respect for them.

When paired with their complaining about Apple’s policies being unfair it makes me really dislike them, they don’t care about their users or what’s best for them. It wouldn’t surprise me if soon I have to call and beg them to cancel my subscription like Sirius XM.

FreeYourMusic also still works, so if you want to do this download it quickly before Spotify forces them to break the feature.

I wonder if that General Fusion design has any benefit here? It’s basically a swirling sphere of molten lead that is injected with a bubble of hydrogen plasma and then a bunch of pistons pump the volume down to collapse the bubble to create fusion conditions.

It seems that that the lead might provide neutron shielding and is also the carrier fluid for the excess heat. Who knows if it actually works but the simplicity of the design seems pretty elegant.
i don't think the point of those mechanisms are to serve social good. i would regard that as a fundamentally incorrect position to hold.

the point is to make those that are advantaged by such tools to gain evergrowing more power over others. isn't that the whole history of human civilization? when's it ever been about serving a social good.
Thanks :)

Do you mean preferring bigger roads for car? This is tricky as optimizing for time sometimes introduces big detours and so we consider also distance (that can take you off big roads) and so yes, we have to improve this further. At least for (small) truck we have to improve there :)

It's a little tone deaf to claim that index funds are "bogus". Your average American worker is not going to be better off doing what you do, as opposed to throwing it all in VT/VTWAX or a Vanguard target date fund.

Index funds accomplish three things, as I see it:

* By investing in a broad basket of stocks, you can eliminate unsystematic risk. This was shown by Harry Markowitz in his landmark paper that established modern portfolio theory.

* By using an index that weights by market cap, you get, at any point in time, what the market thinks the value of the stocks are.

* By letting a management company track the index for you, you take all the work and emotion out of it.

"Building your own index" like you suggest is feasible, but a lot of work. Turnover can also be a real problem in a taxable account. My suggestion to anyone who wants to do this sort of thing is to use M1 Finance, which automates the trading for you. You just set the percentages and go. I think it could be an enlightening way to manage a small amount of "fun money", but I wouldn't do this for everything.

Lastly, there are absolutely mutual funds and ETFs that screen by financial criteria the way you're doing. Look at the Russell RAFI indexes, for example.

Presumably you're imagining some sort of cat-and-mouse game where Belarus release a new version of the app, and then Apple add that app to the blacklist (which iPhones would update daily from Apple's servers, and broadcast via AirDrop).

Rather than blacklisting the app's name or hash, Apple would probably have to blacklist the Developer ID, which it would be hard for Belarus to generate quicker than Apple could blacklist.
It's an analogy. Multiple layers of defense against bugs.

Projects, of course. Ages ago I quit a notable project partly because of maintainer team politics, so I'm no stranger. But I thought we were specifically talking about language improvement processes of non-niche programming languages (a specific one, even).

I think the best way to stop the timing arms race is through tax structures that encourage longer-term investing, and penalize extreme short-term investing.

But you're up against people making lots of money in the arms race.
This is probably better from a quality perspective and also probably not worth the time it would take in 90% of projects.

Yes, but how do you know the original image is out of copyright? It’s mostly obvious for older pieces, but for newer ones it’s not always obvious when an artist painted a work. Even with apparently older images, the worry is that the photo is actually of a reworking of an older piece that isn’t out of copyright.

This would be solved by linking each photo back to the originating gallery.

(I contribute to Standard Ebooks – https://standardebooks.org/ – and would like to use Artvee’s imagery for covers, but without a link back to the originating site to check for a CC0 grant it ends up being a trawl through Hathi looking for photographic proof that the image is out of copyright.)
0.3% of water used for irrigation would be totally fine.

The heat of formation of water is 13 MJ/kg. If we can convert hydrogen to power at 50% HHV efficiency, this means 1000 TWh of storage would require hydrogen from about 1/4 of a cubic kilometer of water. This is small compared to the water used in the US for irrigation (about 100 cubic kilometers per year). (It would be somewhat higher than this due to the need to reject waste heat from the bottoming cycle of the CC plant, and at the electrolysers and hydrogen compressors.)

A key point, though, is that nuclear uses water too, for cooling. For every MJ of power from a reactor, 2 MJ of waste heat is produced, and this heat goes out the cooling towers (there are dry cooling solutions, but they make nuclear even more expensive, less efficient, and less competitive). The heat of evaporation of water is 2.26 MJ/m^3, so 1000 TWh of power from nuclear would require evaporating 1.6 cubic kilometers of cooling water.

But it's worse than that. Hydrogen only has to handle the last slice of power demand (that 500 TWh is about 1/9th the US annual power consumption; your 3 weeks out of 52 would be even less), but nuclear would have to produce all of it, or at least a major chunk (and the reactors have to operate at high capacity factor or the cost of their power becomes even more ludicrous). So the water use of nuclear would actually be an order of magnitude higher than that.

The water argument is an argument for wind and solar (and hydrogen), not an argument for nuclear.

Great resource! I was looking for something like this for our seed round and really appreciate the objectiveness of just showing the slide decks, instead of it being the clickbaity "10 great pitch decks for yadayada".

One point of user feedback though: the mobile view of the slides is a bit funnily cropped and difficult to distinguish the decks from each other.
Would be nice with the primary slide highlighted, and then a view into the full deck if you click on it.

I'd go so far as to say that the ideas in that post, and the manner in which they're presented, is getting pretty deep into subversive propaganda territory, but in a good way.
Remember that the JS CDN thing started 10+ years ago when internet connections were a lot slower and JQuery was the JS framework and only released one new version per year. That means there's a really good chance another website also used it from the Google CDN, and you're browser cached it forever-ish, no DNS lookup needed.

The other thing to remember is old browsers used to cap the number of connections per domain HTTP 1.1 only supports serial requests, so there were benefits to hosting on multiple domains.

Even today, the big benefit of a CDN domain is that CDNs can host static resources faster and cheaper than your webservers. Yes, you can forward requests from the CDN to your webservers, but it's also one point point of failure. What's interesting is that with a modern, JS-only site, the split becomes API and static JS.
You can of course always do it with a list comprehension, also:

[ seq
for seq in permutations(range(1,10))
if all(x + y in primes
for x, y in zip(seq, islice(seq, 1, None))) ]

This has the same short-circuiting behaviour as the loop-based solution (i.e. it will break out of the inner loop appropriately).

NIMBYism is everywhere, even for solar and wind. Maybe it's a flaw of Nuclear that you have to stuff its waste in a giant pit inside a mountain.

Uranium mining often uses leeching techniques, similar concerns to fracking and groundwater contamination, along with general mining hazards.

Additionally rare-earth minerals are needed for a variety of things, even including components within a nuclear plant. I highly doubt a Nuclear plant could be built "rare earth metals free". Fuel rods also may contain a mix of rare earth metals. Rare-earth metal mining and refinement practices need to improve, but they will never go away.

I've used similar services multiple times (Spotify to Deezer to Tidal to back to Spotify) and was fascinated by the results. Not 100% able to transfer the entire library, but always in the 90% range.

Overall I think that music streaming services were probably the best services for switching platforms, and this is a blow that is surely gonna damage that reputation for me. Compare that to other markets that offer something similar (like ebooks or video streaming) where there's absolutely no chance for you to retain even 10% of your library if you decide to switch, so services like Songshift make no sense in those fields.

Having just three major music publishing conglomerates is both a blessing and a curse.
Amusingly enough, I think the podcast move was a realisation that like Netflix they will need their own content to prosper in the long run when faced against goliaths like Apple, as big players will just throw money and platform advantages at their services.

It doesn't help Spotify's image though.
