Hmmm sir are you trying to be productive or trying to have a good time, it looks to me that your attachment to the outcome (of accomplishing xyz something) is hindering you in enjoying coding.

If its painting, you decide beforehand if its a commissioned work or not, and if not who the fuck cares if you finish it on 10 years because you keep getting distracted on your damn strokes and your dogs keep chewing your brush handles.

You may not finish that noncommissioned painting at all, but i guess cherishing each and every stroke of your brush and those moments with your dog is what matters.
Is this a sort of Twitter Reddit crossover ? I like the two the way they are. One for short form and the other for long form expression.
I've been cooking and programming for a long time now and wholeheartedly agree with everything you said except the default oven temp thing. Baking is a cargo cult of chemistry and I'd say most folks are well advised to follow those recipes exactly.
> I have done my own research

So has every conspiracy theorist on the planet. What's that saying... "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"? I notice you didn't site any of the sources of your personal research.

Show me hard evidence, you know, like the kind that can be substantiated, with a quantifiable impact on the election results, which are able to stand up to the scrutiny of the courts. I know, such high standards! Meet them and you have my ear, but there is such a huge amount of garbage information out there that unless you do, I don't have time to listen anymore.
I'll experiment with this tonight. Thanks for the feedback.
I am from Poland and I can assure you that we are 2nd oldest democracy in the world and not an authoritarian country.
I'm the lead on an art/dev team where Animate is our main graphics app. We've been making Flash-based graphics, animations, games, and other media for almost 20 years. Our artists enjoy the idiosyncrasies of Animate, and find it easier to work with (to create the style of art we've arrived at) than Illustrator, Affinity, etc.

The fact that Animate can export to a web-compatible format is not sufficient for replicating the richness of Flash-based media with web standards. We tried. The output was far too bloated and inconsistent and didn't interact well with other web content. It also didn't support many the features of SWFs that we had previously been using.

We ended up writing our own JS animation framework that works with Animate-exported SVGs. It's faster and leaner than the web export from Animate, and we were able to figure out ways to replicate the special features we needed (or design around them). Plus, it acts like responsible, interoperable web content, not a blob of JS that acts like a compiled binary.

Point being — there's a lot more nuance here. Yes, Adobe Animate is the same tool as ever. But the fact that you can't as easily take the output from that tool, publish it, and get an It Just Works™ experience means there's a significant barrier now that never used to exist.
He likely wants to decrease the letter's contents' relevancy ranking in a Google search for "Timnit Gebru".
Opinion is opinion, thus me explicitly calling it opinion.

My take is honestly supported by the very concept of faulty generalization fallacy - given that you did confirm you based this claim on anecdotal evidence - if you ask me, but maybe that's just me.
Yup! And you're quite welcome! I try to put as much code as I can up on GitHub, recently working on some more Music Thing Modular Chord Organ firmware. I've got simple versions of the oscillators running up to 12 bit/2.9 megahertz, and a chord version running happily at 768k :) this greatly improves aliasing performance, both at high and low frequencies.
This is a really great idea, kudos!

You might want to look at Docsend for feature and marketing inspiration - they started by allowing mainly startup pitch/sales decks to be tracked in much the same way your audio clips are, but have since expanded to a wide variety of enterprise use cases. I can only imagine that the music industry has many such use cases, including enterprise-style auditing/reporting needs and the ability to limit an audio file's distribution to within an organization. Not for the faint of heart to approach that, but there could be real opportunities there.

Some other random thoughts: This would be a perfect UI to standardize the pattern a lot of YouTube ads do: a ~5 second teaser clip that pre-plays the full material. With this and other network features as you grow (say, "submit demos to my SongBox drop box, and then I can quick-review my inbound SongBox feed"), you could gain the reputation of - "if I receive a demo on SongBox, it means that the sender is being highly respectful of my time." You might not want to build all that social-network functionality, of course, but it's a possible direction to go!

Also, custom subdomains (and beyond just removing branding, letting people add branding) could be a high-ROI way to add another pricing tier!
Apple TV+ Could Face Ban in Europe Unless It Hosts 30% European Content
And that changes things because...?

Just replace “raised $10M from investors” with “put in $100M of their own money”.

Point still stands, no?
What makes you think everyone is in it just for the money?

The EU started as a peace project, and I think it makes most sense to regard it as fundamentally that, even now. It is an implementation device for peaceful cooperation with your neighbours. It's an endless series of contracts and treaties that provide benefits from good neighbourship.

If you accept that view, the EU's view of Northern Ireland in the Brexit negotiations becomes obvious. It's not about solidarity with the member country Eire, it's about keeping the peace (which the Irish also want, yes).
Especially since YouTube is, according to what I usually read in the internet, is barely (or might not even be) profitable. Google probably keeps it around because it's a source of precious data.

You're assuming that there is a coherent driving force here.

I suspect that its more a case that they literally haven't thought about it.
This assumes that people have adequate access to the energy required for boiling and have the necessary equipment to do so.
I have very little money...

Then the harsh reality is: companies don't care. Yeah, your app might turn out to be a unicorn, but the overwhelming odds are that it won't. And no one cares that you'll tell your other broke friends to avoid the service.

We'd all like to think it to be different, that a company might care about appeasing my broke ass. But as already pointed out, they want the whales. I also wonder, despite the number of years "cloud services" have been around, if companies aren't still trying to figure out a gazillion other things and limiting customer spend might be a bit low on the priority list.
The design is great.

Paper is good; thick and matte. Presentation is great, TONS of infographics, interesting design. It's a visual delight.

Yes, threadreader.app concatenates a thread of tweet replies, and each section is clickable, linking to the original tweet.
Thanks, yeah that "try to be a bit more markety than you are comfortable with" advice for engineers is probably my biggest takeaway and something I hope people get from the story.
State comparisons like this seem much more useful. Considering the US FedGov has been mostly, and now completely, MIA on tackling the virus. It's been left to the states to haphazardly implement their own protocols.
In the US at least I believe Trump wanted to campaign on the issue and pressured the AG to investigate large tech companies. As I recall many of the investigations weren't complete enough to make the news until nearly election day (this was a point of contention between Trump and the AG2. There might be a few more of these in the works.
I was part of the team in Amsterdam on this. Insane days. Had some great engineers we hired in AMS. We were moving the whole source code into a monorepo as well which was another crazy project. I think if we had not had some of the engineers we did at those exact times, we would have not gotten out of it.

Problem here with Swift came down to

- Apple not dogfooding its own tech . Hell they did not even help us or other major companies like AirBnB and LihnkedIn (We formed a workforce on this problem with them which then forced the download limit to be upped by apple)

- Engineers deciding to adopt a language which they thought was great (and turned out not to be at the time) because they did not do the right analysis upfront for such a significant project. 'Wow look at this shiny new cool tool, lets use it' (Oversimpiification, swift was more pleasant to write with and you could be more productive which was no doubt a factor here)

Also, while management at the time didnt care for the remote offices much, I think the AMS team played a critical role in the success here. With the recent layoffs that occurred, I heard that they were fired.

Another fun story, we were trying to bring down our build times on our CI builds which were 1hr+ while battling macstadium and their crappy infrastructure with tens/hundreds of patches incoming each day.
How did they not see this coming? Or do they just not care?
There are three things.

First, being part of a larger whole may have material advantages that are not directly related to money or security. A good example is free travel between countries.

The second point is that people actually believe in their morals. That is not to say that all "moral" arguments are made in good faith - sometimes they are thinly veiled economic (or else) arguments. But people generally believe in their morals. If I - for instance - believe that people are endowed by their Creator of inalienable rights, I may favor institutions that support such rights, and the EU may be more effective at that that nation states. If I believe that all Europeans are brothers and should decide their fate together, I will favor a strong EU. I wager that the reasons most Americans believe that the US should not be split in different regions has very little to do with how much more or less money they would make if the US was to be divided. Don't quite recall Lincoln's speech on the GDP implications of the South secession. Morals matter.

Finally, not everything is zero sum. It is possible that everyone wins from the recovery fund, or that benefits for those that benefit are greater than the losses from those who lose.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I've tried to use Windows 10 on computers with 8 GB and they haven't been much more useful than a paperweight so I was a little worried, but Apple does know hardware. Sounds like this will be perfect for what I need.
> So yes, even in extreme circumstances where war is a response to resource shortages, it is still a preferable outcome to authoritarianism.

War IS authoritarianism. History shows that war pretty much requires it.
Dieselgate is another area where where the EU completely has completely ignored when it comes to fines, outside a single town in Germany.
Srinivasan’s Clockwork Journalism
GDPR covers personal information, regardless of when or where it's stored.

The ePrivacy Directive (which is called the "EU Cookie Law," the same way that the ACA is called "Obamacare") covers reading or writing data from a user's terminal device. That will include cookie-equivalents like local storage. In fact, because it covers "reading" separate from "writing," it also includes reading browser settings like user-agent string or location/language headers, and 99% of fingerprinting techniques.

Cookies require consent unless they are essential to the service that was requested by the user. The canonical example is using a cookie to manage a user's shopping cart on an ecommerce site. Shopping is what the user has requested to do, a cookie (or moral equivalent) is basically necessary to do that, no consent required.

By extension, denying cookies is a positive action taken by the user directing the site to alter its behavior. If a cookie is needed to perform that task, it's allowed even if cookie consent has otherwise been denied.
haven't read all of this yet but it looks awesome. I will digest properly later.

and get back to you... if that's alright.
I looked for RSS but I didn't find it. Doesn't it provide any feed?
> Why shouldn't a website have an official reddit account from which they post? Especially when the circumvention is so trivial?

Because it would remove ad revenue from Reddit if any company could just post ads without paying.
As far as I can tell, it's going to be similar to Debian Testing, ie. a rolling-release distribution that will have security support. RHEL point releases will then be snapshots of that rolling release with their own security fixes.

I can see the use for such a distribution (run CI against CentOS stream to catch any potential breakage with upcoming RHEL changes) but I think the way they went about making this change is ... unfortunate.

EDIT:

To expand a bit, things may still turn out positive overall if Rocky Linux succeeds and Red Hat doesn't pull off any other silliness. There's an opportunity here for Red Hat to really open up RHEL development to interested parties via CentOS Stream, and so long as they maintain their commitment to publishing RHEL as free software and don't actively interfere with people building their own RHEL-compatible clones from the point releases, everyone wins in the end.
I used to be a "grand project dreamer", believe me I know the feeling.

The feeling of reluctance I think is from your subconscious questioning whether half the stuff you think you need is actually required and then you're stuck wondering what exactly you do need whether you realise it or not.

I've found it much easier to avoid "architecting" and instead within a project pick 4-5 different starting points and try to incrementally move them along in parallel, that could mean doing a minor tweak in one section or building something more substantial in another.

This lets you gradually incrementally build things and when you get stuck you can move onto another area and give yourself some time to think about it, you don't end up giving up because you're only working on one thing and that one thing has to be done before the next thing and if you can't figure it out you'll never make any progress and arghhh!!
I hate footnotes. They should have no place in modern publishing, especially on the web.
Honestly, I'm all for the GDPR but the cookie regulations are pathetic. If I store your language preference in a cookie is that the same as if I store a unique identifier so I can track you where-ever you go on the internet (as long as the site has enabled some silly facebook type button)? Of course not, it's the intent which is wrong not the simple act of offering cookies to your browser.

If they really wanted to make cookies completely optional then they should have pushed the responsibility onto browsers. At least then we'd have a consistent interface rather than some javascript which pops up 10 seconds after the page has loaded.
I don't think it was fear-mongering that led to anti-EU sentiment so much as basic economics. Since most Europeans learn at least some English in school, you have an asymmetry when it comes to jobs.

Eastern Europeans can look for jobs in their home countries as well as in Britain. British folks, on the other hand, don't really get any more in the way of job opportunities unless they speak Romanian or Polish. So you have a situation where you have increased competition without increased opportunity.
Oh please, you can't be serious?

First, that $1200 server costs fixed money upfront, and then you pay per month for colo, and for internet, which usually includes a fixed bandwith cap or limits, with bursts which you pay for. So no, it's not fixed.

Second, a server you have to maintain, harwdare and software-wise, is much more complex, and takes much more time, than a managed service. You want a database? Install it yourself, maintain it yourself, backup it yourself, monitor it yourself. And same with everything else.

Third, there's zero redundancy in your "setup". If you want it with the most basic redundancy, you triple the costs (second server, extra networking equipment, etc.).

Fourth, geo redundancy/distributedness? Please. Good luck if you have someone far away who wants to visit your site.

Fifth, let's say you need to scale. Like, you get 10 more users today than you did yesterday, or you get featured on HN or Reddit or local news or whatever. F. You're looking at months and a lot of cash, upfront.

"A big collection of bare-metal hypervisors" makes sense in some cases, but don't pretend it doesn't come with a non-negligible time spent maintaning it and requires significant upfront capital and man hours to do the same you get easily on a public cloud platform (databases, message brokers, object storage, etc. etc . etc. etc. etc. etc.).

I never that the tools I used for tracing (chrome://tracing) and now debugging C/C++ code would be my web browser itself.
I think it's a reasonable choice for a platform to label, deamplify, or even ban content that is both clearly false and clearly dangerous. Do you think that tweet is both false and dangerous?
“They” is historically understood to be plural. Some information fidelity is lost if “they” can mean multiple people and a person.

Language is hard, so I understand the need for compromise. “Zee” could be used to avoid gender centric labeling while maintaining language clarity.
I'm running it in the country in the Midwest with 100mbs down on a mesh wifi and it's practically flawless. Not any noticeably different than when I lived in Chicago with a fiber connection.

It's impressive and way better than I thought it would be when they first announced the product.

I recommend people try it out for free and judge for yourself.
What % of Java projects fail again? With Java, your convoluted mess is 100k to millions LOC. With Clojure, the same devs make the same convoluted mess but in 10k to 100k LOC, and you've left the door open for an inspired "true Scotsman" to come in and do the whole thing in 5k. But management has to understand that, and of course the principle agent problem, peter principle, politics, conways law ... Java is great for middle managers, it makes their department headcount grow, and they get to pretend the project is succeeding because nobody can tell otherwise.
This is correct. Also, the influence of nationalism - even under Trump - is much smaller on the American Right than in other countries. The US is both a very large country and a federation, and so a strong national identity doesn't really exist. People on the Right tend to be more nationalistic (they tend to want more immigration restrictions, the "melting pot" model and prefer English as the national language), and those on the Left tend to be more internationalist. But the degree is just much different than other countries.

Monarchism, a formal class system and state establishment of religion tend to be rejected by large swathes of both the American Left and Right.
There is a reason people say “solve your own problems”. It’s a great motivation. You can’t put off real problems because they get bigger. You have to be the one who solves it, and you’ll solve it in the simplest, laziest way so you can get on with your “projects”. We often solve problems without even realising it and those are successful, creative, useful applications to share with others.

You can just watch tv, that’s ok. Maybe you’ll realise there’s an annoying sound the tv makes at 4 o’clock when it’s raining and it annoys you so much you investigate it and discover something we didn’t know about signal processing. Maybe you’ll jam your window open with a shoe so you can have a cool breeze whilst gaming and then discover a whole business in window jamming.

Count your unfinished projects as a great source of experience points for the next event in life.

And if you really want to “do” something then try make the dumbest, most useless, incomplete, consumption led piece of software you can. Prove that image of yourself to the rest of us. Make the most broken software ever written. I’d love to see it.

I think he's referring to the fact that Index must be tied to a PC and Quest is standalone, and probably also that they use different app ecosystems.
Nothing in that definition contradicts my usage. If you can see a semantic difference between their examples and mine, please explain it.

And, the only person saying that Apple is a forced choice, is you. That isn’t a given. It is a conclusion you want us to agree with.

This is an attempt at ‘affirming the consequent’, I.e. your argument assumes your conclusion to be true, which is a fallacy.

I have to assume you know this.
Well actually Epstein's tropical island was a central location in a pedophile ring which the Clinton's had deep connections to. All they got wrong was the location.
I mean, I’m not basing it off the constitution alone, but also the pervasive reference to free speech across American discourse. I mean, some joker will put a giant middle finger on his lawn in defiance of a developer who wants to buy him out and Americans will rally around his right to do so.

I love seeing tenacity start to pay off. The way I view things like this is if you like doing it, keep at it. The slow growth over time models is one that gets buried in the flashy SV-style startup stories, but they are equally (if not more) important.

I love the site and I only have two points of feedback:

1. I’d move the example player up higher. I suspect many artist will want to know what their link or embeded track will look like. Having to scroll past pricing for the example might lose people.
2. Pricing plan naming can be tough. In this case you may want to look at renaming the plans simply because artists who should be on the semi-pro plan may not pull the trigger because they think they are pros. That’s a small thing though.

Sorry if my wording was unclear. The US part only referred to getting in trouble.

If you wonder why I think they may geoblock European users, it's mostly because that's how many American companies are dealing with GDPR (especially retail businesses, but also major media outlets).
That is pretty much the opposite of my point.
That seems unreasonable in a world where not all countries respect US patents. Secrecy is a protection from having to compete with generic products made "illegally" in those countries. You can block imports of the generic into the US - but that gets harder to control in the rest of the world. And people can still import the generic for personal use as I understand it.
Autodiscovery and NFS work fine together. My Kodi box found my NFS exports. I added them. I control Kodi using my phone.
This is not true. She does discuss how some countries and regions of the world use the Internet less, or not at all, and thus Transformer/BERT are training on the linguistic habits of the most affluent of the world.
