Just a friendly correction :-). You have repeatedly confused the meaning of open and closed. "Closed" means including the end element given in the range, and "open" means excluding it.

It may make more sense to think of intervals in the real numbers. "[1,2)" doesn't have a maximum to the right - it has 1.9999....... but not 2. Thus it's "open" to the right. Whereas "[1,2]" includes its maximum (2), so its sealed.

The terms open and closed apply to any set of numbers (not just intervals), where "closed" means that the set includes the limit of any series of numbers in the set, and open means "not closed".
Why are we talking about “media” here? These are government reports of growth.

There's a difference between a $20 CD and a $10 all you can listen to music account with no commercials. The artists are getting less money because music is worth less today. Technological change is making that job obsolete in the same way that illuminated manuscripts have become obsolete.
I don’t know if there’s a phrase for this phenomena but I see this a lot and it really bothers me, where leaders get “too” inspired by management or process ideas from blogs.

It almost never works out and then the leaders blame teams for incorrectly following whatever the process was rather than accepting that almost every org is somewhat unique so adjustments to strategy need to always be made.
Not necessarily. The C++ standards committee for instance happily standardizes features with only one (or zero) existing implementations.

It has to, because such implementations would be extensions that standard compliant code can't rely on.

Technically there is WebKit which powers safari and gnome web. The good thing is that iOS app store basically forces you to use WebKit for websites so it won't die. Bad news is that Apple does not really like the new web standards and in the name of privacy simply doesn't implement standards that can give web apps an edge over native iOS apps. And Gnome Web currently has licencing issues with webrtc and media support is poor(gstreamer). Also Chromium is a WebKit fork pre 2013 so it shares several quirks with Safari(prob some of the old standards) which is a prob in itself

Interesting - I have not thought about such scenarios earlier. I think that if you remove your key from GitHub, old commits should be left in place. The various key servers on the Internet will acknowledge the revoked key, and no more new commits will be introduced with that key. However, there is a potential issue when an attacker will try to rewrite Git history and use your old key to sign malicious code.
I actually have a few different Arduino Raspberry Pi hybrid boards (a few are passive pin mapping type things, but others are full Arduino boards built to use the Raspberry Pi as a host) and this was the sorts of use cases that had me thinking about pin compatibility.

* It treats the Browser Sync service as spyware

* It treats automatic updates as something spyware does

* The initial launch connections it has issue with are the captive portal detection, TLS certificate updates, addon blocklist updates, safebrowsing updates and the release notes.

For comparison it rates Pale Moon as "Top Tier". PM does similar to the above (including auto-updates), and it also connects to start.me as it is the default home page, which loads Google Ads and Analytics. According to its privacy policy:

"Among the types of Personal Data that start.me collects, by itself or through third parties, there are: Cookies; Usage Data; first name; last name; email address."

What definition is it using for spyware and why does it only apply to browsers it doesn't like is beyond me, but the author clearly has a bone to pick.

I think if the US really cares about genocide, then:

1) They would declare themselves (US) to be genociders of the Native American Indians

2) They would declare Australia to be genociders of the Aboriginals.

Both Messages and Mail both use Cmd+0 to bring the message viewer to the front. That's what the shortcut is listed as in the Window menu. Same with Calendar if you close the main calendar window

Messages does not have great keyboard navigation — I can't tab around like I can in Mail. I am putting this down to the fact it is a Catalyst app and they are a bit sloppy with consistency (not necessarily a Big Sur thing, as these were on Catalina)
Huge opposition likely from farmers. Cool, but uphill struggle I'd say. Within a boundary? Sure.
Even better, let's just have the default orderFilter be the equivalent of '*'.

If there's always a filter, then there's no longer a branch at the point it's used -- that needs to be tested and maintained.

I used to work with a programmer who I found difficult because their code was an ever-increasing number of "if" statements as each new case came along. Conversely he would say coding is relatively easy and that I was overcomplicating a problem by thinking about it; all I needed to do is "add an if statement here".
In 2008, Benn Jordan (aka The Flashbulb and other pseudonyms), got tired of iTunes making money from his music and receiving no revenue for it, that he personally shared his new album "Soundtrack To A Vacant Life" via BitTorrent.

He attached a text file to the release, explaining how he makes essentially no money from iTunes and other platforms distributing his music and invited people to buy the album from his website directly. And that strategy seems to have worked.

Radiohead released their album "In Rainbows" exclusively online and invited people to pay what they want. As a result they made much more money than they usually made with that release.

I think there are clearly good reasons to have a regional state of the art foundry available to all comers. It seems likely to be the equivalent of a national lab in terms of accelerating R&D even if they charge a modest profit.

I think having Intel involved would be fine, as long as yeah it was spun off and didn't discriminate between customers.

> I've put together a proposal to have all strings be f-strings by default.

Please don't do that. Seriously.

There is this trend in the Python community of blurring the line between a plain string and a formatting operation on that string, but there is a fundamental difference between the two. Instead of trying to ignore that difference, the language should make the difference explicit. "Explicit is better than implicit" is one of the things I like so much about Python. Please don't throw that away.

There is and should be a clear and fundamental difference between a plain string and a string formatting operation. The plain string is clearly the more fundamental of the two, so it should be the default.

And then there's the whole issue of breaking code with such a change.

Again, please don't do it. Don't change the language in such a fundamental way.
'OKRs before KPIs'as it says in our culture deck
https://citizenshareholders.com/culture
If achieving your KPIs compromises your Objectives and Key Requirements you have the wrong KPIs.
In the start-up/scale-up world this there can be enormous pressure to meet investor expectations on short term revenue/growth forecasts.
Part of the job of founders is to know their market, their company's unfair advantage.
'Don't be Bullied' should probably be the title of a blog post calling on founders to resist investor pressure to follow the norms in achieving early revenue, not because early revenue is a bad thing, far from it, it's amazing. But if the cost of generating that revenue puts OKRs at greater risk, its better to raise more money to extend your runway.
If you meet your OKRs, assuming you've chosen the right OKRs, your KPIs will follow.
In many ways this is a culture issue:
Culture trumps Strategy, OKRs trump KPIs
Provided you have the cash.
Citizen Shareholders is now looking for that cash. When we're asked why we have no revenue projected for 2 years, it's because being able to survive for 2 years without revenue will derisk us to the early B2B adopters.
Having that early revenue in the bank alongside those investor funds is a problem we can live with.
Just in time supply chains are so very 2019, we plan to make sure we have enough to succeed by, at times, having more than enough.

Yes, I wonder what the main advantages are of the Pi Pico versus the various ESP boards that also run MicroPython and are well established.

One potential advantage would be great documentation for beginners.

PIO also looks interesting, however I wonder how much of a factor it is for the target audience.
I think that it depends on the product but I know really a lot of examples when a small app actually not just pays its hosting bills but bring a lot of revenue.

I'm myself working on http://pingr.io and struggling to find customers. But gosh, how many products like currency converter or something exist which have a lot of users and revenue.

My points:

1. If your project is useful for people some of them will use it

2. It doesn't matter if free versions exists. People by coffee in stores (cheap) and in Starbucks (expensive). People order taxi (paid), when they can use autobus (might be free or very cheap).

3. But your product should be a bit better or at least the same as others

4. Now, one crucial moment is pricing. Once I posted my product on reddit and was surprised that people started comparing my pricing to competitors, and they were complaining about it. But still. I know a guy whose prices are literally x3-x5 higher than others, while his app is not that good, and he still has ~$4000 revenue per month

BUT

Keep in mind, that if you're not going into "business way" meaning instantly paying ads/watching conversions/investing/taking risks etc, it may take a LONG time (1-3 years) to get exposure

In a nutshell: just make a good app, put pricing (average among competitors) and start talking about it everywhere for a year. If the app is good, it'll bring you money (at least there is probability)
I know of a lot of people like that, when presented with very illogical UI decisions, or controls that look absolutely nothing like the rest of the system, they just cannot see what the issue is. I wonder if it’s poor eyesight, lack of attention, or whatever.

Sure, marketing is important. But the "secret" ingredient is coca leaf extract. The actual cocaine is used to make various drugs by a different corporation.

https://www.businessinsider.com/what-happened-to-the-cocaine...

According to Business Insider, the beverage company has a deal with the Drug Enforcement Administration to get coca leaves so that the world can get its Coca-Cola fix. The DEA lets Coca-Cola import coca leaves from Peru and Bolivia in order to get the part of its secret recipe, which it hides behind the term "natural flavors" on the ingredients list.
PIO is definetly interesting stuff.

This has its own assembly language (.pio) to program. Custom peripherals can be implemented by using this assembly.

Raspberry Pi already provides example programs such as custom I2C, SPI, UART (they are different from the hardware peripherals in the chip), logic analyser, LED controller, and etc[1].

Spot on, it's infuriating to deal with. There's a lot of time spent reading blogs and quoting some flavor of the month founder and then essentially trying to replicate as much as possible.

One of my consulting roles got terminated early (1 week before I was about to terminate it myself too) because a Growth Hacking agency with a loud speaking founder turned up, told the founder that my work was not good (an agency saying that there's problems across the board - who would have thought that huh?) only for them to be fired 1 month later and an outcry across social media for 'real growth hackers' and not promising the world from that same founder.

Bearing in mind this founder also had the latest Apple products because it was a must...
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle...malfunction disabled... aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment...

....The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters.

People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign and held it in a building window.

The Sign was a stylized picture of the helicopter they were in, with a BIG red arrow pointing towards the pilot's window where a small cartoon pilot held up a sign saying 'WHERE AM I" in a hand-rendered Helvetica font.

The pilot smiled...yadda yadda yadda..

After they were on the ground, one of the passengers asked...

The Pilot responded "Tableau Software"
> The Apple Silicon chips are one of the first desktop chips that are a heterogeneous design with distinct performance and efficiency cores. We’re revising much of our core threading and thread pooling architecture to handle the distinction better, improve efficiency, and eventually be able to schedule less performance-critical tasks on the efficiency cores.

Isn't this at the wrong abstraction level? I would expect this to be a job for the OS scheduler.
Nice website!

I'd really like something reverse: select an exercise (running, cycling, etc) and show on a picture which muscles that exercise works.
Why did the programmer swim in the crocodile river?

EXRX is a true gem. Not only do they have a super comprehensive database of exercises and muscles, but they also have some good research and explanations on there.

Also, you can get a license to use their database on your platform.
> The worrying part is that the announcement not only bans these people from entering China, but their family members too

I can tell from the way you wrote your post that you don't really understand the issue.

The CCP is doing an automatic retaliation against the US, because that's what governments do.

But Chinese citizens laugh over these announcements, because CCP members want to send their children to US universities, their adult family members to safe haven countries, and launder their bribes using US real estate. And US citizens don't want or need any of that from China. :)

Xi's immediate family live in Canada and Australia, not China, because they're not safe in China. Let that sink in for a minute, and you will understand what totalitarianism means.
Datasheet does look nice indeed. It's clearly written to be more approachable, which I like.

Though I'd say it's "only 600 pages". For comparison the STM32F417 reference manual is 1700 pages and in addition you need to read the datasheet which is another 200 pages.

Not a bad thing though, it has less numerous and less complex fixed peripherals compared to the STM32 family.

No. "A && B && C" is only true when all three are true. If A knows it does not want, they can answer "no", because there is no way "ALL want" is true in that case.
The people who want to go back to the "glory days" of CD's are forgetting that struggling artists existed in that day and age too. A lot of indie artists pressed a small run of CD's for a couple grand and never even broke even. Still happens today. I have multiple wannabe artists in my family.

For a lot of people making music should really stay a hobby. They are not very original in their music and lyrics. Or simply not very good. Or very good for a small niche. It's still possible to succeed, but not just by putting out CD's and expecting to sell them all for a nice profit. You need to explore the other options available. Like teaching, living room concerts, blogging, vlogging, etcetera.

If it's purely about producing and getting your art out to people, there has never been a better time. Just do what you like to do and get it out there. Who knows, you'll be streamed a lot somewhere, like my brother in law's songs are streamed a lot in Brazil without ever visiting that country.

Many open source developers are happy working on their hobby for "free". Some artists should do the same.
MVC Controllers Are Dinosaurs – Embrace API Endpoints
I think the author of the article is trying to illustrate that the result of even a few metric-cheaters is that over time the entire organization or field is dominated by the metric-cheaters. There is just no way to always keep such people out of your organization once you cross a certain size threshold. So the logical result is that with time, everyone is forced to become more like the metric cheaters just to survive so they either leave or become metric cheaters themselves; in either case the product goes to shit as the creative problem solvers leave.
A Soviet engineer needs some plumbing done in his apartment, and calls for a plumber. The plumber arrives, does his thing, and hands over the bill.

The engineer is shocked. -'What, this is like a quarter of what I make in a month - for half an hour's work???'

Plumber shrugs. -'Well, why don't you come join us? Easy work, well paid, no responsibility - just remember to keep mum about your degree, as we're not supposed to hire academics.'

Our engineer contemplates this for a while, applies for a job as a plumber - and gets it.

All is well, good money, no responsibilites - until management requires that they take evening school classes to gain new skills and thus better build socialism. So, grudgingly, our engineer enrolls in a math class and, upon arriving, finds that the teacher wants to establish what the plumbers already know.

-'You over there - could you please come to the blackboard and show us the formula for the area of a circle?' he asks our engineer.

Standing at the blackboard, he suddenly realizes he can't for the life of him remember the formula; while a bit rusty, he soon figures out how to reason it out - furiously writing out integrals on the blackboard, only to find the area of a circle is -(pi)*r^2.

Minus? How did a negative enter into it, he thinks, going over his calculations once again. No, still gets the same result. Sweat building, he turns away from the blackboard for a moment, turning to the other plumbers watching.

As in one voice, they all whisper -'Comrade, you must switch the limits to the integral!'

Yes, the BCMwhatever's weird PCIe controller literally returns corrupted data when the driver tries to read from the card, possibly due to not supporting some kind of 64 bit read.

If the label doesn't offer the artist anything and they can do all by themselves, don't sign a contract with them.

As simple as that, nobody is forcing new artists to join the labels...
I am tempted to agree with what you say. I do believe that modern technology has lowered (financial) barriers to access art, no doubt.

However, if it's only artists that appear to be mostly suffering from this new reality, while big (record/copyrights/tech) corporations still appear to be doing very well, I'm inclined to argue that this is probably more about unfair distribution (even more than it traditionally already was) than about the argument you put forward.

No matter how you slice that cake, if in the end artists have to struggle to get by while others make a killing from exploiting their creations, then there is something fundamentally wrong. Personally, I think that today it might even be more wrong than it has been for a long time.
