The way I see it, the system currently works pretty well. Account sharing isn't totally free for the user.... you only can have a certain number of simultaneous streams, and you will have extra profiles on your account.

If people can afford their own account without sharing, they will do it. If they are sharing an account, it means they are sacrificing some functionality to save money.
It is! Almost as cool as Julia ;-) There are some pretty cool ideas in there, which I think are worth getting familiar with even if you never end up using Zig at all. I suspect some of the ideas will get copied by other languages.
I just recently realized that I don't read Mediom articles anymore. If I see Medium, it's a no-click. Not sure how that happened, but that slowly growing paywall was probably the reason. Also, I somehow never had a good feeling about Medium, but in theri early days I actually did enjoy reading a few of their articles.
I was considering buying a bunch of hue bulbs but this feature is making me hesitant:
The hue bulbs can “remember” their last setting, but if you power cycle them twice in a row (without waiting ~15 seconds in between) then they reset to the default brightness & color.

I don’t care about any of this automatic timing or app control. What I want is for every lightbulb in my house set to the same color temperature, and for that temperature to change over the course of the day - circadian lighting like f.lux for my entire house. It seemed to me that this should be possible with hue bulbs, but it turns out they can’t work that way unless I want to also replace all of the switches in my house with “smart” switches.
Trump is in the category of his own for two reasons.

1. He is a bullshitter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

>Frankfurt determines that bullshit is speech intended to persuade without regard for truth. The liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it; the bullshitter doesn't care if what they say is true or false, but rather only cares whether their listener is persuaded.

2. He is pathological. He can't stop bullshitting even when it harms him. Other presidents were more calculated. They lied to benefit themselves or their policy.

Contrast Trump and Mitt Romney. When Romney realizes he is trapped in a lie, he shutters and has deer in headlights look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXpKq4UYtXw No matter how experienced politician, getting caught is still hard for him.

Trump would never miss a step like that. He would counter with even bigger bullshit.
If your Windows isn't updated enough, grab AutoHotkey[0], and try this: [1]. It's a little "emoji keyboard" I wrote a few years ago, to insert most important emojis into team conversations. Globally binds itself to F2, and it's ergonomic. You press F2, then number, then CTRL+V (that last step could be automated too).

The script is easy to extend with new emojis, and also supports selecting alternatives based on which program you had focus on when invoking the keyboard - you can see it using Skype-specific notation for Skype.

The toolset looks like you made it for your own workflow and not actual users, meaning it's very rigid and tied to specifics instead of allowing for flexibility, I have a hard time actually understanding what this is for. The main feature of it being serverless isn't a selling point for me. I don't use Graphql/DynamoDB or any of the tools you describe outside Lambda. It would be simply too much work to start with all your tooling, that would be considerable technical debt especially compared to the ocean of options available with headless CMS's.

Yeah, over-classification is definitely a thing. I suspect they don't want close-up video imagery of the payloads out there, either.
definitely learn C++ if you are interested about how computing works "under the hood" of modern high level languages

even if C++ went away next year (which it won't, and you can be sure c++ will be here until eventually quantum computing takes over ;) the concepts and understanding of computing you'll learn is still valuable

in terms of advancing your career as a developer, realistically speaking it will advance your career most probably only if you make a switch to jobs that require real time / embedded / high performance / security. for other fields of programing today, c++ level of understanding will not advance your career as much as being a good communicator, acquiring connections and brown nosing
Not in the UK, but there's Tuxedo in Germany (https://www.tuxedocomputers.com) and Slimbook in Spain (https://slimbook.es/en/), both of which sell notebooks with Linux preinstalled.

Twitter had a 140 char limit for ages so that you could send tweets via SMS. The mobile web in 2008 was terrible. 2G/3G bandwidth, 256MB RAM and poor battery life. The browser would need to reload the tab if you went to the home screen and then went back to the browser.

The persistence of native apps occurred for two main reasons:

- pushing engagement by having access to system notifications

- improving the quality of ad targeting by accessing a much deeper level of user data than what a regular browser would allow.

Parler had the benefit of all this hindsight when they were creating the app.
While not a fan, I understand Medium, and the people posting on Medium (well some of them). Fair enough that you want to allow people to make money on their writing, but I'm unsure if Medium has the right solution. They've ended up as a source of annoyance, and that's not a good place to be as a platform. On the other hand I have no better suggestions.

The Medium writers I don't get are the corporate/startup blogs. You a company, you're blog isn't part of your revenue stream, hopefully, so why not just have an S3 bucket with a static blog, or a Wordpress installation. It is just convenience?
I share my account with my dad, who does not live with me. He's been self-isolating for almost a full year and has redefined 'binge-watching' to a whole new level.

I rarely watch Netflix since it seems mostly series stretched across multiple episodes despite having a story that wouldn't justify a comic strip.

So, yes, I am subsidising him consuming stuff that Netflix would have to pay me to watch.
That is not always possible. i.e. installing CUDA drivers in your pipeline, running tests, dependency fetching
Perhaps because they've doubled their streaming service's cost, reduced their content amount and availability, and are now properly warning they are going to be cracking down on geographically distant usage by users of the same account.

At this point I'm paying 20 USD/m for Netflix, roommate for HBOMax, friend's password (via reciprocal sharing) for Disney+, and our online TV service, which my elderly disabled mother can't go without.

The post-cable/satellite TV revolution has tripled my costs from what it used to be.
From that use case, what is likely to happen is everyone having their own account but being more active in canceling and rejoining. I doubt Netflix revenue will increase to much above $240 in the end.
This is one of the things that the FSF is proposing, with a method of tagging executable code under a free license. In general, you can only check that tag after retrieving the code.
It's probably related to some sort of FOMO: you're following someone on a website, so you want to know when they have something new to say. But then there's the other side of the coin where you get all news from all sources, and you get drowned in your inbox and must declare Email bankruptcy. We are lead to believe everything is important and we must be notified as soon as it happens but our brains are not wired for constant influx of information.

This is also another reason I love Fraidycat: I _know_ it's fetching content a few times a day, so I don't need to check every 5 minutes. There's very little chance I'm going to miss anything critical if I only read about it a few days after it happened, and that's fine. It has reduced (slightly, ngl) my tendency to F5 on news sources and procrastination. I don't check as often for content, and when I do I know I'm going to spend some time on it.

Thanks for pushing for more slow web, whether it was intentional or not :)

>The Japanese believe that what's important to keep is the knowledge and the craft - how to build the things. The actual buildings aren't important - the history is in the craft, not in the buildings themselves.

There was an NHK program I saw recently that interviewed a carpenter who specialized in temple construction (I think he built a store front for a restaurant shown on the program, but I can't find it). I was wondering how that could ever be enough work to live off of. But now it makes sense.
Meh. Reducing language to a mere communication tool also destroys much of its beauty, meaning, and ability to inspire or motivate us. I don't think it's a coincidence that the loss of interest in poetry has coincided with a general loss of respect for literary culture.

I had this impression recently while reading the Akbarnama, which is a sort of court-approved biography of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. It was written by his Grand Vizier, the top political advisor, who was also a poet and translator. Indeed it would almost be unheard of for a high governmental official to not be deeply educated in aesthetic matters.

In any case, what immediately struck me was how beautiful the writing itself was. A bit wordy, at times, but in no way simple. Just one line I wrote down from the introduction:

Without the help of Speech, the inner world's capital could not be built, nor this evil outer world's civilization be conceived.

When political leaders put together similar books today, they are inevitably written in the most simple, banal language possible in order to maximize "idea propagation" and book sales. History is all the worse for it.

Heavy use of emoji is a great way to make me stop reading. I don't parse images super well - icon buttons in applications slow me down a lot, too.

Mentally trying to reconstruct meaning from icons might be a fun recreation, but it is a high-load, annoying waste of time for me when we just need to convey some info. Use your words, or I'm likely to check out at some point.
If they understand "search for Parler in the App Store", then it's not a stretch for them to say "got to parler.com and click "Add to Home Screen"".
Unusally, I think Matt Levine's explanation is confusing.

> Big companies buy stuff from smaller companies, and have to pay for the stuff within, say, 90 days after delivery. Greensill pays the suppliers, say, 30 days after delivery, but at a discount; the big company now owes the payment to Greensill. It pays the full amount, to Greensill, 90 days after delivery. Greensill has effectively loaned money to the big company; the difference between the discounted price that Greensill pays and the full price it receives is effectively interest on that loan.

This seems backwards; the big company isn't borrowing anything. In conventional factoring small companies make these deals to get their cash early, and they give up a percentage as payment. It makes no difference to the big company, which pays the same amount after 90 days either way.

Unless... the big company is working with the finance company to actively sell these deals to their suppliers. In which case the big company will be getting a slice of the percentage fee paid by the small company.

Levine concludes:

> The thing about Greensill’s business is that it doesn’t sound that … hard? Like, once you have introduced a customer to the idea of supply chain finance, I am not sure why the customer should be particularly loyal to you. Anyone who offers a better rate, or the same rate but a better promise not to blow up, should be fine.

This emphasises the point that this is normally nothing to do with the big company. The small suppliers can go elsewhere. There's something I'm missing here, and I think Levine is too.
The Art of Type Programming
I can go back to projects I wrote 10-14 years ago, and the same build/deploy scripts still work today. I used standard POSIXy or GNU tools back then. They still work the same way today.

It really depends on how you pick what you depend on. Would some random third party CI/CD infrastructure, I might have selected 10 years ago still work or be in business today? Hard to say. Maybe I would have picked something that stayed supported until this day, maybe not...
Except that rents are now at a level that need two people to cover - so that issue is kind of priced in already?

I have a group of friends who share a Netflix login and split the bill.

It took them several months to realize there was a simultaneous streaming limitation because it was so rare for 3 of them to try to watch at the same time.

When they hit it, the third person just watches on their shared Hulu or shared HBO account anyway.

Call what a wheel? What is the "it" here?

It doesn't seem to be a standard term but since you went to the trouble of posting a comment surely you were hoping it would be understood. Are you talking about modulo arithmetic? Or hierarchical timing wheels (the top hit for "wheel data structure")?
They maintain sovereignty though. That’s more important than domain registration revenue.

If I somehow owned tax.gov, and was running a tax prep service from it, I doubt the “I’m grandfathered” argument would fly.

It’s likely similar to lawyers.eu (I made that domain up), etc; people should be able to expect that to be an EU based service, not something overseas.
I wasn't trying to imply that all countries have similar expectations of resume format and length. I was just saying that if all the resumes from recruiting firms are atypically long, it's probably the recruiting firm that is responsible. It's not because they employ people on visa or anything like that.

I'm an immigrant to the US, and in my home country resumes are all really long. Even people who have never had a job and just finished their bachelors somehow find a way to have 5 page resumes. I think immigrants to the US in IT/Tech roles figure out fairly quickly that they need to drastically reduce the lengths of the resumes.
If you can get it to run, the best way to play MUDs is using a MUD client. My favorite was always GMud because it could fit on a floppy disk with a world file, but ZMud was kind of the de-facto standard/best client, although paid. You can use a normal telnet client, but it needs to support ANSI colors and have a screen buffer to render most MUDs properly.

Also, it depends on the MUD codebase they use, some of the older codebases are more friendly to very basic clients, newer codebases typically rely on using a telnet client like TinTin or a MUD client.
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while.
It’ll be interesting if you show some kind of a product roadmap.

> Netflix has been profitable since at least 2005..

Only because you're allowed to not count issuing junk bonds towards your profitability. Netflix only started having cash positive quarters this year, and has fifteen billion dollars in debt, generally going up by four billion dollars a year.

Netflix literally could not have afforded the interest on those junk bonds as a private company. It was only able to borrow so cheaply on the promise of it's growth.

(And this year is unusually friendly to them due to Covid, I do not think they are suddenly actually profitable, they just didn't spend nearly as much as normal.)
Netflix would not remotely resemble its current form and likely would have been acquired years ago if they did not pivot to their own content. Switching to their own content required and still requires huge amounts of money; est. 17bn last year[0]. Additionally, the gross profit number is a flawed number for many reasons; try looking at operating or net income or anything farther down the income statement from basic revenue. Netflix has no option but to finance content spend with debt as they do not generate enough FCF to cover content spend and will quickly fall behind competitors if they don't.

That's what I'm saying, you can change the "color" of all these including async, but you still have to do that.

There is no single Monad type from which you can build and chain, you always have to color some calls.
The monoculture is definitely the most important bit. Imagine that elections can be controlled by Google, they will not always side with you.
Two responses to this: Georgists classify “land” as both territory and all natural resources (really nature itself) so the “new land” the Netherlands makes is classified as an improvement to the pre-existing sea bed.

You might reasonably say this isn’t what most people mean by “land” to which the reply is, the amount of “new land” you can make in this manner is pretty limited and usually the reserve of states or state owned enterprises.

Comparatively, nothing stops you from tripling the number of domains overnight.
Those final gasps of data while a vehicle is breaking up could be critical for understanding what went wrong with it. I can definitely see how missing out on the final milliseconds of telemetry because some encryption buffer wasn't full enough to trigger a frame or something would be unacceptable.
Sure; Linux already has a driver for a variant of the USB-C chips in these Macs, so normal functionality should work with minimal changes. I don't know if the driver exposes the low-level command protocol to userspace off the top of my head (since we need that to send vendor-specific commands), but if it doesn't, we can probably get away with just using raw I²C access to the chip directly, via i2c-dev. Alternatively, we could add an interface, e.g. a debugfs entry for the Type-C driver that exposes raw commands.

Not sure what approach we'll end up with, but there are certainly multiple ways of doing this under Linux.
I think you nailed it.

Somebody trying to earn some money from their writing - yeah, I get why they choose Medium. It sucks, but there's not really a tremendous amount of better options.

But the majority of Medium articles aren't that. They're promotional personal blogs (so why not just put those on your personal site?) or more often they're technical blogs written as marketing material for a company. That can easily be hosted on a company's own site with little effort.
Yeah, while it's not (AFAIK) a written commitment anywhere, what I've heard is that Amazon hasn't spun down any AWS service that still has any use, just reduced visibility and stopped new work and provided a migration path for those who choose to get off.

As long as they don't visibly break it, that provides a reputation that is hard to beat without something much more than one year notice as a binding commitment.

If you are willing to pay for it you can get a custom home site built in a week. It typically isn't done this way because you pay experienced people to stand around waiting for things to be ready for them to work. It is much more cost effective to schedule the plumbers for one day and the heating guys the next, then the electricians, even though each only needs about 4 hours, since it gives each plenty of slack time to recover if something takes longer than planed. Technically they can work at the same time, but plumbers go first in practice because drain pipes must go downhill, and it easier for electric to go around everything in the way than to route plumbing or heating around wires. Just in this factor we have spent a couple weeks for things that could be done in a few hours.

Yes, but they do it to the exact opposite effect. Squatting property actually puts it to its intended use (living, agriculture etc.) Domain squatting is meant to prevent the domain from its intended use (access to a meaningful service). For gold and bitcoins, there is (or at least there should be) taxation to make sure you're not sitting on them.

Around the world there are actually laws regulating physical squatting [1, 2], because it seen as a socially positive outcome (compared to leaving houses/land disused). And there are also often provisions that allow you to prevent squatting [3], but you have to give something back (e.g. dirt-cheap short-term rentals).
