In Poland, we had[0] a CD-ROM videogame magazine called CD-Action. For kids like me, it was a great deal - it sold for 1/5 to 1/10 the price of a new, boxed videogame, and it always had one or two full game releases in it, as well as a dozen or more demo versions, plus some zines and random stuff you mention. Sure, the games we got were a while past their release date, but in those times it didn't matter - with Internet barely becoming a thing, gamers weren't in sync with the global release schedules. In fact, we were all in sync with CD-Action release schedules! So e.g., maybe we got Jagged Alliance 2 in 2001, two years after its 1999 release, but before 2001 nobody would hear of this game over here, while in 2001 every other kid with a computer would have played it, and we could enjoy talking about it together. And because the CDs were also full of demos of other games, we never had a shortage of things to play.

(And if some demo piqued your interest, there were places you could go where you could get CDs with games and other software à la carte, for cheap. :).)

have they added playlist folders yet? that's the main reason I ditched Google music and went back to Spotify. it was too clunky having a single list of playlists with no way to organise them. i have maybe 300 playlists now on Spotify and there's no way i could have managed that with Google music
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-AZ115 is likely to be faster. It is cheaper than the Macbook Air M1 with 16GB/512GB, too (in Germany: 1465€ vs 1588€).
It has an AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS CPU and a RTX 2060 Max-Q GPU.
Except even if you want some kind of loyalty token, why do you need a blockchain for it? Are you going to let users... mine coffee loyalty points? Do all of your coffee customers need to verify the integrity of the count for all other customers on a ridiculous bit of software?

Just create a db table called ledger and +1 | -8 it when they buy a coffee or use the reward.

I was excited about blockchain too, right up until I became a blockchain dev and realised about an hour in to the job that the whole thing was a dead end. The requirement for blockchain to be useful is that literally everything in the world happens on one giant monochain. Without this, smart contracts are useless for anything other than gambling on the chain about the chain. The second you leave the box - all of that POW is for nothing.

In Notion, data is stored in generic "database" form, which is basically a table. Different views –– like kanban boards, calendar views, and gantt charts –– are layered on top.

A "new type of database" means that they've added another type of database layer to Notion. It is a perfectly reasonable way to phrase it.

Congrats to the Notion team, you've made a phenomenal product! There's some incredible product sense inside your company.
Hello Luka! I really like your products. I am in a quest for a small e-ink display that might survive the rigours of being placed behind a car windshield. Is this an application that, in your opinion, can be handled with an e-ink display or will sun, extreme temperatures, etc destroy it. Is there any kind of hardened e-ink product out there? I hope it is ok to pick your brain on this. Thanks!
Good riddance. I started using it because of the ability to upload my existing collection. Any song that matches their catalog used their catalog instead. The problem was that when the song in their catalog was removed due to licensing reasons, I'd lose the song too. It would be gone from any playlists too. And Google won't notify about these removals (because of course that would make them look bad, it's better if the user just doesn't notice).

I'm not buying into any Google-managed service. Ever.

Google Music was crap service from the very start. It was clunky and heavy on all platforms, could not distinguish completely different artists from each other because they thought band names are unique and music range was poor compared to competition. When google launched GM, Deezer was already way better option.

Ability to store your own music was an attempt to create a killer feature they needed to keep that service running at all.

Google is teaching us the same thing over and over:
- Scale over user comfort, general usability and features.
- What you see is what you get. No evolution for next decade.
- Service may be closed sooner and it will be pain in the ass to transfer to "the next new thing".
- The "next new thing" might not be around when the previous one is shut down already.

I'm going to assume many HTTP libraries and ad-hoc implementations expect one HTTP response for one HTTP request (but still support pipelining) and will break if this underlying assumption changes.

In fact, this may even be ratified in the interfaces they provide: think synchronous "give contents of this URL" functions.
I'm pretty glad they gave me the push. The new YouTube music app is utter junk, it's been replaced with Tidal and Jellyfin. Having a self hosted media library has been great so far. The only annoyance is my garbage Virgin media modem dropping offline every few days, cutting me off from my home server while I'm out and about.

How to Manage Your Stress?
> In The Netherlands you can be forced to give your fingerprint to unlock your smartphone. You cannot be forced to unlock your smartphone via PIN, or share your password.

Ok that's why I said fingerprints are different to passwords?

> Your fingerprint can be unreadable under circumstances. With sandpaper you can remove it.

Please don't nitpick. You don't really think I didn't know that.

> Inaccurate, and untrue. They're all over the place.

Your username is `Fnoord`. How can I get your fingerprint just as easily? I did not say it is very difficult to get someone's fingerprint if you want, just that it is harder than getting a username. You can just ask people for their usernames, people will usually give them out to strangers. Try that with fingerprints.

In fact, if it is just as easy to get a username as a fingerprint, here's my username: IshKebab. Now can you find my fingerprint?

Summary of My Work at Figma
That is not at all what I was trying to say.

I was saying: Unless the OP meant something other than what every cosmologist means by the expression "Big Bang", there is overwhelming evidence for it.

I said this because contrary to what many people believe, the Big Bang Theory describes pretty much everything but the singularity at the beginning. The Big Bang Theory describes how the Universe evolved starting at some tiny fraction of a second after the "Big Bang". And this theory is confirmed without any reasonable doubt. You can literally see the expansion of the Universe right now, and you can see that remote regions of the Universe appear much younger than our region due to the finite speed of light.

What happened precisely in the very first tiny fraction of a second is still very much up to debate, mostly because we don't have a working theory of quantum gravity, because both gravity and quantum mechanics become important at the same time, similar to some aspects of black holes.

That's why I was phrasing it the way I did.
I think it's due to society still fundamentally adjusting to female parity of power and the reduced value of marriage. Until recently, single women suffered huge economic insecurity; they had a massive incentive to compromise on their attractiveness standards.

This said, you can still somewhat compensate for height with status and other looks. Tom Cruise is 172cm but I don't think he ever struggled for dates.

I live in a remote village in India, working from home currently. I use my 4G mobile hotspot (Jio) for my work and I didn't face any issue till now. I normally attend team meetings, development and some Youtube.

On the contrary, in cities the network is less reliable with 4G as you said.
Asking myself that very same question. I've been booting linux, quite happily I might add, off mid/high-end Dells and HPs for a while. The last time I looked Airs were still dual-core, and much more expensive for 16 GB.

In the early 2000s it was recognized that the C/C++ code-build-run-debug development feedback loop was taking too long for efficient application development. 10-30 minutes to try out changes. It would have been risky not to try something new.

JavaScript revolutionized this, bringing the developer feedback loop time back down to a few seconds. Andrew Paprocki's 2011 JSConf talk demonstrates this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODgs0eWAIKc

The main competing technology at the time was Lua which would probably have been a fine alternative. JS won. Four years later Node was released which took server-side JS to a mainstream audience and helped validate the choice. Ten years later saw the ES6 renaissance and the rise of JS as a credible language for application development. Now TypeScript takes it to the next level, enabling large robust systems to be efficiently built using JS.

I'm pleased we bet on JS.

Better to be honest about having a representative / mediator than catfishing or pretending to be someone you're not to try and "win" the game, especially if you suck at it.

I'm actually excited to learn that they're going to build small Mac Pro. That could finally be Mac I would buy, if they wouldn't go crazy with prices.
That's barely solving the problem. Consumers and businesses want high-speed low-latency reliable and unmetered connectivity; which is the exact opposite of mobile data plans.
I highly doubt it will match it in performance under the same power envelope, and in the end for a mobile device that's what's important.

This is like when people complain about legacy code they first see it without understanding the context the code was written in. Or saying C coding is safe if everyone was just more careful and more skilled.

It's just not true that it's super easy to write fast pages. There's a huge amount of background you need to understand to optimize fonts, images, CSS, your server, your CMS, caching, scripts etc. There's multiple approaches for everything with different tradeoffs.

Even if you have the skills to do this solo, you might not have the budget or the time or the approval of management. Big websites also require you to collaborate with different developers with different skillsets with different goals, and you need to keep people in sales, graphic design, SEO, analytics, security etc. roles happy too.

Erm, maybe they were asked to tidy it before filming? This is clearly not a studio, it's just a lab that has been tidied and all the crap hidden away (and maybe a few nice looking circuit boards scattered around).
This 100%. There is so much confusion between HTTP/2 Push and and HTTP/2 bidirectional streaming capabilities, I personally had to go back to the Spec. to understand the difference because a lot of material just mixes them together. They are not the same thing.
Because many here dearly would like to have this setup, but cannot justify the price tag. A couch is a daily used piece of furniture, basically something essentially needed for comfortable evenings. A good couch you can use for a very long time. This is gorgeous, but just a toy without filling a daily need.

Also it is the frustration, that eInk prices should have come down further and there should be more eInk powered devices available on the market. There are a lot of really great things one could make, if eInk would be more widely available.
Do you have some numbers for this? As I understand it anyone with healthy % of body fat has far more than enough reserves for just days of fasting.
It would be great if you could provide practical examples where generics could significantly improve Go code.
Tinder

You pay for the scarest resource: attractive people.

What is attractive has been evaluated and optimized over time by Tinder.

Tinder is not your only option. Good old dating still works magic even more now since everybody seems to date via app. The tides have changed.

What Tinder in my point of view evolved, is more a chat platform, than a dating platform. Good looks and speed is everything. I find it way easier to date offline than online even though I am on the attractive tier. No answer for 4 hours? Off you go. Does not happen offline + WhatsApp.

I had a pre-Used SAN (fully stacked with Disks).

Every once in a while the drinking glasses in the kitchen started to clink, until i found out they did that when scrubbing on the SAN was running (complete different room), not directly from the start, but the vibration amplified and after some minutes the ground/wall vibrated.
At the very least Plagman seems to still be working on Linux stuff inside Valve. There have been lots of other too (may or may not have changed) so it's definitely not just "a passion project by Gabe".
I've been loving the experience with Liveview. I'm currently working on an mvp for a client with it and its been amazing.

1. no friction thinking for thinking about communication between the frontend and backend.

2. js interop has been great. The hooks system allowed me to seamlessly plug in dropzone and stripe elements while keeping the rest of the frontend as elixir.

3. I can have the frontend pages react to pubsub channels and react to events from other parts of the system and update the page instantly.

3. super fast with SSR.
It's much exaggerated in online dating. I'm short too, but IRL the height is less of a problem, women taller than me routinely approach me in clubs. In online dating, they just filter by height using "AND" operator, and that's it.

Hi, fwiw I noticed a small typo on https://docs.etebase.com/ you wrote challAnges instead of challEnges.

May I ask how do you make money? Just by hosting the service?

It's the same.
It's not "who is?", it's "have you a license to do it?". If you have a license to reshare spice girls works, and you want to use funkwhale, well, you can.

Nine Inch Nails have CC licensed albums. So "being famous" and "music that is under a CC license" is not mutually exclusive...
I wouldn't call it envy. It is just the frustration that eInk screens are still so expensive. This display is gorgeous, but I cannot justify the expense in the grand scheme of things.
I was was writing about age discrimination. And that is something that affects you externally.
While those prices seem pretty good for first world countries, many of the people in my country don't make more than $1000 per month, so it'd still be a substantial investment.

There's nothing wrong with consumer hardware for homelabs (except for ECC RAM sometimes not being supported), for example, i use Athlon 200GE's for mine because of the 35W TDP and however much RAM i can buy, with some SeaGate HDDs for storage.

That's definitely enough to run some virtualization, though nowadays i mostly use Docker Swarm (while K3S would also run with little issues on that hardware).

Of course, there are also the option of looking at alternatives to expensive cloud vendors: not everyone needs AWS, GCP or Azure, which are better suited for businesses. Some alternatives that come to mind are:

- Scaleway: https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/

- Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud

- Vultr: https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-compute/#pricing

- DigitalOcean: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/

Personally, i use an even cheaper host, called Time4VPS, which is in Lithuania: https://www.time4vps.com/?affid=5294 (disclaimer: affiliate link), which i've been using for a few years. Of course, using something like BackupPC https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/ to make incremental backups with rsync is also useful in the case of all of these services.

So we do have quite a lot of experience running these screens in extreme environments - we've worked with a company called Mercury Innovation and built a fleet of traffic signs that have been running in scorching Australia non-stop for about 4 years now.

There are a couple of things you need to do:
- Protect the screen against UV (there are protective foils and glass with integrated protection you can use). Failing to do so will cause permanent damage to the screen. This is a solved problem with loads of companies using EPD for external usage.
- Make sure you respect the maximum temperature limits - the driving board should be aware of extreme (>50C temperatures) and prevent updates in those cases. There are special waveforms that extend the operating range to beyond that, but you will get only black and white updates.

Realistically EPD robustness is a solved problem. About 6/7 years ago we've launched a product based on epaper that was water tight and was intended to be used outside (permanent mounting on desks). We did not see any problems with display. And the parking signs have been running 4 years non stop any failures in the field.
> I wonder where the time would have went if we were not enterprising enough to invent big data and portable streams and engagement metrics.

Do remember channel surfing on your dumb, terrestrial, flow TV? Hours spend clicking "next channel" on the remote, cycling the same 5-10 channels, passing by the same program, again and again.

That's where the time would have gone.

I did the benchmark and multiprocessing achieved higher bandwidth than multithreading. 8 times higher.

This was just reading from disk, so no hashing step at all. Didn't even write to disk.

I think you might not be so knowledgable about concurrency.
I used to have a huge selection of MP3s with obscure and non-obscure music of my tastes that I've painfully curated over the years and I listened using an MPD server.

I'm glad I decided to keep the collection behind when I changed computers because Spotify is so much more convenient. I don't have to worry about downloading music or having the right device connected to the right server, and I've found more obscure tracks that I liked in 3 years of Spotify recommendations than in a decade of randomly going through the Internet.

Before broadband, it was worth paying a little more just to get the PC Gamer with the CD full of demos. I'd play all the demos on the CD and it was time for next month's issue. My inner 12 year old was a fan of the coconut monkey gags too...
The used workstations make a lot of sense for low noise and great price. Focus on RAM. Homelabs may not need a lot of CPU as things are generally idle, but admins always find a reason to run more VMs and eat up all the RAM they have. I went with the HP Z820 and 96GB RAM for under $1000.

Excellent, goodbye!

For making things clear, however I'm not done and will leave quotes from your original post here:

"Theft of resources to a point of detriment is always violence."

"Destroying the ecosystem which Farmer John uses to grow his apples, so that you can have more apples, is violence.

Overfishing in or near territories to the point of resource scarcity is 100%, always violence."

I see no qualifiers there and this does conflate the two concepts.
