It sounds like the problems that affect a lot of artists: "Do it for the exposure".

In a lot of cases the exposure is negligible. If you act in somebody's indie flick, the odds of that flick being seen outside of a festival or two are very small. If you do corporate logo or web site for free, it's very unlikely that anybody will say "Hey, what a great logo/site, can I throw some money at them?" It's not impossible, just unlikely.

In the case of Big Stars, there may be more actual exposure going on. It's impressive that an unknown Dolly Parton would stand her ground against Elvis' agent. A hit by Elvis would have genuinely gotten her some real exposure, at least within that narrow band of people who actually hire songwriters. Good on her for making it big anyway, but that must have been a hard choice.

It's not much of a secret that publishers of all kinds are really mostly publicity machines, now more than ever since the means of production and distribution are more widely available. I used to hope that that would mean more money leaking down to the "long tail", but the tail is too long and the hump too big. Most of the money still goes to a few big stars. Sometimes those stars come from a breakout without a publisher, but even so they usually parlay their fame into conventional publishing after that.

I hope the songwriters manage to push back a bit. I notice that the article says that they lack a union. Unions help actors a lot. The abuses inflicted on actors before Equity and SAG are horrifying. (I thought ASCAP would do that kind of thing, but apparently not.)
In my experience the printer was always a good few releases behind the current version. No-one wanted to upgrade unless they absolutely had to. The switch to InDesign from Quark was particularly drawn-out, and even then no one took Quark 5 files.

It’s very different now it’s all done by PDF - as long as it’s formatted correctly it doesn’t matter what program created it or how old it was.
You can also run `jurigged -vm IPython`, for what it's worth (or put `import jurigged; jurigged.watch()` in the config). There are a few edge cases where jurigged will work and not IPython's autoreload, and vice versa. Notably, jurigged updates decorated functions a bit more aggressively and only runs the code diff so it may keep some state that IPython won't.

I have been using Firefox as my daily driver for 3+ years now. Haven't encountered a single case of sites working any worse than on Chrome.

We use Lambda@Edge to build our own CDN on top of S3 with authentication, so our customers have reliable, fast and secure data access. We use a bunch of edge lambdas which serve thousands of requests each minute, so I suspect we'll see a nice cost reduction with this.

Some of the stuff we do:
- rewrite urls
- auth and permissions check
- serve index.html on directory indexes
- inject dynamic content in served html files
- add CORS headers
I tried buying a student discount subscription in my country and I could never finish the process.

Well reality so far is that things will stay unbalanced for a while.

I come from a shit city in France, a former textile powerhouse that lost everthing after the war when it became automated abroad and we couldnt compete. And I moved to Hong Kong years ago.

Well... between this city and my new one, there's such an imbalance, I think I wish a few companies were trying to enslave people back home to teach them something else than shooting heroin and cheating on social insurance... And the French gov cant fix it, they can't make people clever and useful just with money and will...
Distant regions of the universe already are receding from us faster than light. Due to the accelerating rate of expansion, that horizon beyond which this is true is shrinking inwards towards us, so that in 150 bn years even galaxies outside our local group will be beyond that horizon.

Yup, I agree. Running both right now, the additional benefit of moving DNS queries away from my ISP (I pay for NextDNS) is certainly a good one too
I can sympathize with that argument.

But the way humans raised animals prior to the last century seems a lot less problematic. If we reverted to a more sustainable, regenerative practice of farming, that would surely reduce animal suffering and not damage the environment to anywhere near the same degree. It would also create a lot of jobs. But if you're trying to feed 8 bln people then you will need to figure out ways to reduce waste in the supply chain. Like freezing meat.

the chip is implanted in the motor cortex, I believe, so the training consisted of rewarding the monkey for moving the cursor to a target.

After the monkey has played the game a bunch, you can correlate the neuron firings generating motor signals to the arm with the motion of the cursor on the screen. Later, the monkey's arm need not actually move the joystick.

The hippocampus is pretty deep in the brain, and the Neuralink surgery can't go deeper than a centimeter or two.

Even the closest galaxies are so far away, its unlikely we can reach them even with a warp drive.

Check if your phone has a per-app setting for "optimize battery usage" or "sleep background apps" or something like that. Spotify was stopping 2 seconds after I turned my phone's screen off, and disabling the battery optimization fixed it.
I think they mean they manage a Google Workplace (formerly G Suite) org themselves, given:

You're not taking into account that, by virtue of being an animal taking in oxygen and creating carbon dioxide / other pollutants, the chicken itself is contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

The question is, in real life, are the bonus calories we get from animal farming efficient enough so as to be worth those greenhouse gases? Given the massive GHG emissions of animal agriculture, it doesn't seem so.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your example, though: feedback appreciated
In most cases it did: I even wrote a python script to use matplotlib to generate a few "contribution graphs" like one sees on github. That visual was usually enough to tell the profs to not give my teammates any credit when they didn't do diddly squat for code.

I learned most of the "defensive git" tricks during this time because I caught one of these guys trying to rewrite history to claim credit for my commit. That guy got referred to the university's "ya dun messed up bigtime" committee (I forget the actual title) and I think he was kicked out for academic dishonesty. Ever since then I gpg sign all my commits!
The Belgian government said the same, but I think the message isn't quite as black & white, and should be seen through two pairs of eyes:

1. There's the individual, in which case wearing a mask is not super useful. Wearing a mask isn't very effective at preventing the wearer from getting sick, especially if the wearer is a typical human being who is constantly picking at their face and generally doesn't wear the mask properly. This was oft repeated near the start of the pandemic, mostly by doctors and virologists who deal with infection on the individual level.

2. There's the collective, where reducing the spread even a little bit, can have a definite impact on many people in the long run. Masks mandates are definitely useful there, at least in crowded places. Even if they're not being worn properly by a large fraction of the population, spread will still slow. This may not be useful for any given individual, but it can help "flatten the curve" of hospitalizations, which is sort of what the management of the pandemic is all about. This wasn't really elaborated on in the media, but it's the message that biostatisticians and epidemiologists have been bringing all along.

I think there's been some serious communication issues throughout this whole pandemic. Not just in our respective countries, but pretty much globally. Covering your nose and mouth is super low effort and super low risk for almost everyone. And while staying at home and away from people is even more effective, going about your business with a mask is much easier for many people. I don't know why more effort hasn't gone into trying to convince people of that. Instead we're chasing pipe dreams of cheap respirators and tracking apps. Techno-fetishism at its worst.

Laws and their use are not inherently just, legitimate, necessary, effective or reflective of society. Often laws provide advantges to segments of society at a cost for other segments. In that case we must evaluate whether the law is just or necessary. If the segment of society that benefits unnecessarily or unjustly from the law refuses to be held accountable, then civil disobedience by the affected segment is to be expected. There are countless instances of social and legal change achieved through disobedience instead of "following the law".
The worse job you'd leave still need to exist, it's just going to be someone else toiling in unreasonable conditions. Sure, "get a better job" is something people in low-paying jobs should strive for, but it's selfish only to care about one's own situation and ignore the people you're leaving behind.

Look at enterprise software jobs!
A lot of enterprise software is massive old code bases that need people who are good at spelunking and understanding "what was this doing and what is it doing now". It might not be 100% refactoring, but a lot of the customer bugs that come in are caused by tech debt and the solution involves refactoring a tad. Even if the software is still growing with new features, there is a lot around refactoring existing code to fit in the new feature.

Some people will tell you that they dont allow developers to refactor because its risky and there are higher business priorities, but before you listen to them, ask about the context. My team's official line is no-refactor because we can't break our API because our support contracts are 5+ years. That's true, but under the hood we are refactoring a little every day (split a giant method into a few new classes, add wrapper classes so we can add a unit test to previously untested code, etc)

Also, if you're good at the skill "good at reading bad code", your teammates at any job are going to be very grateful! There's not a lot of people are good at it and enjoy that!
Yeah, I use G-Suite on FF (with UBO, of course) every single day for work and personal use and have never had a single issue.
There have been plenty of attempts to do so...but if you thought cache invalidation was a hard problem, welcome to sociology.

One of the most infamous is/was New York City's SOTA program [1], which attempted to relocate and provide one year's rent for people from NYC's shelters. They basically shipped families and individuals out of state to other cities, hoping they'd find a job and affordable housing there. NYC is an economic powerhouse if you're credentialed and high enough on the treadmill to make it work, but not an area you want to start out with nothing; you can imagine that someone had the bright idea that there are cheap houses and entry-level manufacturing jobs in other growing cities, someone homeless and jobless might have a better chance of integrating into society than panhandling on Wall St.

The program met with outrage from the destination cities whenever anyone (utterly broke, with a history of homelessness, with no local family or connections...the program worked for some but did not for others) ended up in trouble and the locals found out they'd come from NYC. Turns out a lot of people would rather have their bright and bustling new-money "innovation hubs" and "tech corridors" unsullied by undesirables from dying cities.

It's one thing to turn a saloon and general store into a quaint Old West ghost town when the gold mine runs out. It's another to turn dying cities that once had populations of millions working in bustling industries of rail, coal, steel, or automotive manufacturing (like Bessemer, named after the inventor of the Bessemer steel converter, or other cities like St Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, Gary, Flint, Dayton, etc.) into not just the current Rust Belt cities but an enormous ghost metropolis.

Off-topic but still makes me sad: Spotify removed all episodes of Joe Rogan for me by removing podcasts feature from Ukrainian (and not only) users. I’m a paid user btw. Worst part is that since JRE is free for such large part of internet users, it’s impossible to find on torrents unless it’s Elon Musk or similar. Sigh.
Again that missed the point entirely. It certainly wasn't lying. We know and knew that some masks are effective. n95 masks when worn correctly are definitely safer than not having one full stop.

we didn't know then which masks were also going to be effective and didn't know if those masks would be worse than not wearing one at all. there was also the issue of shortages of the effective masks for medical pros that needed them. that informed the speaking at the time and at no point was that a lie. and we do have studies now that masks do decrease the likelihood of transmission so we do know now that those cloth masks are effective.

1. shortage of proper n95 masks(look at toilet paper during the beginning)

2. no evidence of other masks being useful or not harmful at the time so they said socially distance yourself as a primary mode of protection and wash your hands often.

That's not actually true, though. This is what a raw commit object looks like:

For storage purposes there is deduplication, delta encoding, and compression going on behind the scenes, so committing a 100M working tree with a few small changes doesn't take up 100M of additional storage space, but these are invisible to the upper layer. When Git needs a diff, for example to perform a three-way merge, or in response to `git show` command, it generates one on the fly from the snapshots.

From what I've gathered most small software companies rarely invest in refactoring. Instead, they like to dangle the promise of doing so, perhaps with a new modern language, as a carrot and stick routine to keep developers from leaving or to entice new employees to join the "team". Large companies, however, will typically do unit testing and refactoring already. So my guess is go with a medium sized software business.

There was a theory, back before the subscription era, that the reason stolen/fake Photoshop license keys would work across multiple versions was that Adobe actually wanted people to be using pirated Photoshop at home. The people pirating Photoshop were theorised to turn into the same people who'd demand it at their workplaces, and Adobe was quite happy to go cash in on the corporate licensing. Easily piratable Photoshop was a free training program for future Adobe customers, who weren't going to pay for a copy to use at home, anyway.

Who knows if there's any truth to that, but it doesn't work in the subscription era, which definitely opens up some space for competition.
