The problem (as I see it, anyways) is that the 'big boys' that I referred to in my initial comment have been around a long time (2000 for C#, 1995 for Java) and over that long history, have had a slew of language changes. They are starting to suffer from the same problem that C++ suffers from, where every shop defines their own subset of the language with which they use. Meanwhile, the languages that they graft features from (e.g., F#) tend to be smaller and more coherent with respect to the feature set.

"Don't feel compelled to read books cover-to-cover" would be a more useful guide.

Many people do, and feel guilt over setting down books. That serves you poorly.

Approach books as an inquiry or conversation. See Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book (frequently mentioned on HN). Read with a purpose or goal.

(Entertainment and distraction may be goals or purposes.)

Some books reward a close comprehensive read. They are rare.

The problem is that most artists do not own the distribution rights to their own music, these are owned by various record labels. Many top tier artists create their own record labels and shoulder the cost of advertising/promotion while also dramatically increasing their cuts.

The fact that individuals aren't able to break out via self-publishing music is an oddity in the internet age. Why aren't there more avenues to hear "random new artist that matches my tastes"? or is it self-perpetuating that labels sign all successful artists who can go mainstream?

I think there is definitely space to at least offer some SKUs with all that, albeit at a high markup (kinda like the Mac Pro).

However I think that yes, most people (including me) prefer the new to the old. Eg.: I dislike full keyboards because it shifts my hands to a side and moves the mouse further away. I tried track points but I find touchpads superior. I don’t need an RJ45 because even if I wanted to use it, I’d much rather have it on a USB-C dongle with pass through power, so I only have one cable to disconnect when moving around. And call me crazy, even though I use a mechanical external keyboard most of the time, I actually like typing on the butterfly keyboard more than on other laptop keyboards I have and had.

I agree and I think this is really the key demand that they should have organized around. Splitting up the revenues based on what you actually listen to is really how things should work from a fairness perspective to artists. It also is likely more compatible with heavier listeners than their demand of 1c per stream. To put that number into context, I listen to ~1000 songs per month on Spotify and I pay $2.50 for Spotify each month using a family plan. I'm not sure how the economics of 1c per stream are supposed to work out there.

Soundcloud has already gone in the direction of paying out based on what you actually listen to, and it would be great to see Spotify and other platforms follow suit. See http://fanpoweredroyalties.com/ for more details on Soundcloud's implementation.
I've had this problem in literally every company I've been at. As a PM I'd be asked by my GM or CEO or Sales VP when they'll have a 'better demo environment' and I'd say, 'give me two engineers for several weeks' and they'd say 'no' and it would never happen.

This is sorely needed. Based on the problem alone, of all the companies I've seen in the W21 batch, this is where I'd place my bets.

Good luck!

It's complicated. Thunderbolt 1/2/3 were all open-ish, but required intel's chip. Which was alright at the time - AMD didn't have anything competitive in mid to high-end market anyway. Thunderbolt 3 later became royalty-free, but with mandatory certification by intel.

Around January 2020 vendors are able to make their own controllers and submit them for certification. AMD doesn't have any. Intel's controllers don't have an embedded version for sale.

You can pay the taxes and fees needed to live in the world with "private money"?

I don't know what kind of taxes and fees are in Germany, but where I live you must pay property tax, medical fees, sales tax, drivers licence fee, income tax all in the government's currency. If you don't pay these fees your property will be seized and you will be put in jail. You must use the government's currency. If you value your freedom and property you have no choice.

Their rates are per country, they differ. So these calculations gave to it into account, but everyone pays the 5 or whatever it costs now in the west.
A brief google search brought up a PDF for winter tires from the traffic injury reduction foundation, with the basic conclusion that yes, they are better, but updated studies are needed for exact numbers.

Walk into any car tire store, and you will see displays for winter tires claiming anywhere from 25-35% improved stopping distance. Of course, with less frequent plowing, salting and sanding, these numbers likely go out the window. They get you better stopping distance, but they aren't magic and it is still worse than all season tires on a dry, summer road.

If you want safer winter roads, you use salt and / or sand and plow every time significant accumulation of snow occurs.

There are great machines made in the 80's still making money, and I saw one just yesterday. Wonderful to see.

I hope someone does.
Honestly, it depends on what you need, and what your platform is. Windows has its Remote Desktop, which works fine.

I’m on Linux, and use mosh as a more reliable ssh client.
No, I don't think you are.

For years there's been a conflict broadly defined as "streaming rates paid to artists are irrationally low" vs. "streaming services aren't making money as it is"; the problem is that those aren't mutually exclusive positions. They can both be true at the same time.

At least to me, this suggests that the real problem is that $8–10 a month for ad-free streams was too low a price point to set. If Spotify's pricing structure had been something more like Hulu's -- no free tier at all, $6/month with ads and $12/month without -- they'd have easily been able to meet that penny-per-stream pay rate. (Tidal beats that pay rate, but I suspect that's by virtue of charging $20/month for "hi-fi" streams.) But, at this point they've set consumer expectations: streaming music services cost $10 per month. Changing that would be pretty difficult.

The shade I occasionally see thrown toward pfSense is curious to me. This isn't push-back at the parent comment but me expressing a bit of confusion.

I've used pfSense since 2009 or so. I was skeptical when Netgate entered the picture but since I've had no reason to complain. It's been a continuous and usually smooth timeline of serving me well.

A relevant sidebar is that I've been part of different, stellar volunteer efforts - started by a core team that was trying to improve or fix something worthwhile. It is inevitable that core teams members will eventually run low on time/energy and changes must follow. Those changes can be anything and usually are.

We get a mix of grit and sand at intersections and steep hills, but it only lasts just so long- sand disappears and grit gets kicked off the road. It certainly beats salt alone, especially on a hilly gravel road and sharp turns and intersections, but I wouldn't advocate for it as a complete replacement.

> Their use of the App Store to disadvantage competitors (such as when they removed competing parental control apps in the name of privacy coincidentally when launching their own).

My experience seeing parent control apps, are that they likely leak private data either intentionally or unintentionally. These apps, would have access to all sorts of data, and unless the developers are both very scrupulous and very competent, it is easy for private info to be leaked. I am far more comfortable with Apple handling that, than a third party.
>More defective programming in the wetware. Why is pay the only part of the equation? When Japan realized that their housing market was undermining living standards in the late 90’s, they cracked down on NIMBYism and took housing and land zoning authority away from cities. The housing market almost immediately corrected itself and housing prices in suburban Tokyo have been in free-fall ever since. You can get a 2000sqft family home for the equivalent of about 200k just 30 minutes outside downtown Tokyo today. We don’t do that because... why?

The world does exist outside of Silicon Valley. I can get exactly what you're describing in over half of this country, pick your state including the entirety of the midwest.

>Again, more defective wetware. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan - these are democratic states with a high standard of living that have been able to control costs in ways that the West hasn’t. More people are homeless in the US per capita than any of those countries and it has everything to do with defective programming and talk of “liveable wages”. Of course everyone needs to be able to afford to live. But your own mistaken assumptions are emblematic of the political and social dysfunction of the West. Until we address that, no - those supply chains won’t be returning.

The median income in South Korea is $3,000 less than the US. And they have universal healthcare.

Someone's wetware is defective, it isn't mine. You might want to do some research before showing up with that kind of condescending attitude.

That's a good point. There are cars for the European market, and I don't think we'll be seeing many in the states.

My main point though, is that the amount of electricity you can collect from the surface area of a car is very negligible. It's a very ambitious goal indeed. It's not worthless, it's basically free energy so anything gained is good I guess. It just seems there are a lot of people here that seem to think this is going to be better than it actually is. It's easy to get hyped up by the marketing, but my suspicion is it is much worse that we would wish.

I'm very skeptical of the numbers they have posted. Especially in England where hours of sunlight per year is below average. A quick search suggests England on average get roughly 1500 hours of sunshine per year. Comparatively, my state of South Carolina get upwards of 2800 hours. You should be looking at the 'cloudy' bars on the chart (https://sonomotors.com/en/solar-integration/). Assuming the charts are right, that's 77 Km per week at peak summer, and as low as 21 KM per week in the winter, realistically. If the weather of favorable, and you don't park in shade, then sure you could get better results.

We have basically reached the limit of what we can extract from solar cells, and there is not enough surface area on a small car to make 'the dream' come true, of having the car charge itself without plugging in.

It looks great on the marketing campaigns though. And I'll give this company credit, their body panel system does look very innovative. It seems they have made some important enhancements in this type of solar tech. And all things considered, the more electric cars on the road the better, I hope they sell a ton of them!

Roughly 20 years ago we embedded Java applets inside a HTML-based online help. This turned the help from a reading resource (which tells you where to find certain preferences) into an actually interactive resource, composed from the same applets that also formed the Application itself.

I'm left-handed and I'll take a built-in numpad any day. I punch in enough long numbers day-to-day to really enjoy having it, even if it's on the "wrong" side of the keyboard (and so it is with virtually every other keyboard out there with a built-in numpad).

I also already normally type with my keyboard slightly off-center on my desktop, so an asymmetrical laptop keyboard ain't really all that big of a deal. Even if I didn't, and insisted on a perfectly-centered typing experience, having an off-center screen is something that I've yet to actually really notice.

In most languages, looping is implemented with conditional jumps, but I actually think Python is unique in this case because of the way it uses exceptions for flow control. Rather than checking an index to see if the loop has reached the end of an iterator, the iterator just raises a StopIteration exception and the runtime catches it.

The key lookup in dict definitely has conditionals, though.

Of course, the guy could get rid of that by just using an 11-element array and addressing directly instead of hashing integers as keys.
