- Getting new music or Podcasts requires plugging it in to a real computer, transferring files, and updating the media library. It takes a while.

- Without a touchscreen you can't "scrub" through files and must fast-forward with the buttons. Fast-forwarding to your place in a 90-minute podcast takes a while.

- If you plug it in while in the middle of a podcast, or reboot it, it will lose your place many times. It has a setting to not do this but it is unreliable.

- Due to the above two points I really got in the habit of ensuring I had enough time to listen to a full show in one shot, and that made me subscribe to less podcasts. This is a plus.

- You cannot view show notes for a podcast or click on links in those notes. You must sit down at a PC to do this.

- This device helped me to not take my phone with me everywhere. That's a plus.

- It doesn't "fast charge" or anything. The battery indicator is imprecise so sometimes it will shut off while you're using it. The battery lasts forever so that's OK.

You have to want to use something like this. It is better for you brain than a smartphone. I encourage everyone to try it. It is high quality, built well, and inexpensive, so very much worth a shot. If you want a bluetooth and USB-C version, the Fiio M5 is also good.
It's amazing how much this imagined interview matches up with my experiences working as a game designer. You could lift a lot of this, apart from the wild fame pieces straight from talking about game design where the designer is also heavily involved in implementation.

I don’t know; there may be the case that it’s not the most ethical choice to move to an area where they are improving their personal QoL while contributing to the lowering QoL of the current residents. I think the ideal solution would be to attack those root problems until that moral dilemma subsides somewhat. What I don’t think is probably the best choice is to blindly do what’s best for oneself while being oblivious to the systemic effects. I imagine there is a reasonable middle, like moving but consciously deciding to only support local businesses rather than buying from the cheaper MegaCorp, supporting policies like high density housing that may not be in your personal best interest, or dedicating a portion of your relatively high income to causes that specifically lessen those systemic effects.

Edit: as an example, I used to live in an area that was relatively poor by US standards. There was a large cohort of retirees who would move in because if the pleasant weather, low cost of living etc. Rather than mingle with the locals, they tended to create little walled enclaves. Additionally, they gradually took over the local government (in part, because the full time political positions were unpaid, meaning only those retired or wealthy enough to not work could afford to fill them). This created an environment where business investment was often stifled because the retirees didn’t want to lose the feel of their retirement settlement by allowing more homes to be built or certain businesses to open. It was difficult to raise any taxes related to investing in schools or infrastructure because retirees tend to be more price sensitive in those areas, particularly if they don’t have children or grandchildren who will benefit. Ultimately, this made it harder for locals to find work (outside of service jobs) or to keep younger locals from fleeing for better prospects. To many locals, it was viewed as almost a hostile takeover of their town by outsiders with money. It tended to exacerbate rather than alleviate those class divisions alluded to in my original comment.
Ah yes, the old single family housing issue.

I painfully remember a moment from the 2020 election cycle where CPAC or something had someone, amid much other nonsense, framed Democratic opposition to single-family zoning as ruining our way of life. This is, of course, while 90% of zoning is single-family.

It's not just urban areas that need (at minimum) some zoning diversity. I don't know what the most cost effective density for construction is, but I know that in the US laws have prevented the market from realizing that optimum.

Maybe 6 floor buildings provide the most floor space for the construction cost. Maybe it's 4. With the cost of housing being what it is, I feel like we can't afford to build at density either lower or higher than the optimum.. at least for the median economic persona.

There is way more than enough land for everyone to live the lifestyle they want. This isn't about land, this is about people with money and an obsession with density falling in love with the decades of hard work that locals put into making a place a home, and then destroying what they fell in love with.
Huh. I don't see much of a contradiction here. Even the most design-y of software designers isn't going to be picking out artisanally selected sand grains for inventing a new kind of silicon-based processor. At some point you say, "Well, these generic components are good enough, let's use 'em."

That choice of components still requires keeping the purpose and context in mind, of course. But if I want to get anything done for the user, at some point I hit bottom and return my attention to getting something done and out there.
Optimizing for distance from a national forest seemed like a good idea when purchasing a home 5 years ago. Still seems like a solid plan.

Fine. 10+ was my memory failing me. But the Four Seasons and whatever houses Matsuihisa sushi are 9 (when viewed from the mountain, not the highway).

Overall point here is that Vail and other ski resort towns happily build very large buildings for vacationers and second home owners. I just don’t buy that having very large office and residential buildings would have that much greater of an environmental, or even quality of life, impact.

I'm assuming most people adopting micro-services weren't even around when SOA was a big thing.

People not reading the literature then implementing it badly isn't problem with the idea. In the same way that not studying calculus then doing badly isn't a problem of calculus.

Most of these issues around microservices like how to split them so they don't cause issues, are known and solved problems. Just people have not read the literature other than the odd "blog". Like don't do microservices, for your first iteration. Backwards compaitble apis, and understand your bounded contexts from your first iteration before you try.

They end up creating chatty nano services with tons of version fixed cross dependencies.
I don't understand your argument. if you look at two bell curves for IQ and they look almost identical except for a slightly different mean, you're really going to go "okay that group is obviously smarter"? height is a different story - the curves are going to look much different. if you really don't want to get that then there's no point in continuing
Show HN: Manifest, the Local Knowledge Network
I had an idea to build out a system for sharing ideas locally and starting simple group chats. This web app (working only on desktop rn), Manifest, needs permissions to acquire location, then it displays a feed of posts from that area (most likely empty in your area right now as it is a relatively new app). Once a post is made, it allows you to join a group chat discussing that post. Eventually it may be worth it to publish group chat conversations as a "manifest". It's still in the demo stage with a lot of filler text; a lot of buttons may not be working.

What do you think? Any feedback is much appreciated.

The Linux kernel maintainer list isn't IBMs to grant or deny permission to. The other kernel maintainers had no objections to Lijun staying on as a reviewer, just IBM did.

> Would they had been added to that list using their personal email if they removed themselves THEN asked someone with the authority to do so to add them back on their personal account? Everything points to no.

What makes you say this? No commits make it into the official Linux kernel without being peer-reviewed and approved. The original change was signed off by another (non-IBM) maintainer, and would have to be signed-off again by Linus before making it into the official kernel. There have been many cases where a developer stopped working on the kernel in a professional capacity, but continued to do so in a personal capacity, and none of the Linux maintainers objected to this. Why would they? The developer has valuable experience and knowledge about the code base.

I don't see any aspect of abuse of authority/privilege here, just an employee/employer contract dispute.

> If you make a device (say, wireless walkie-talkie) that can communicate with other devices of this type, it is not yet an open standard protocol. It's just your proprietary thingy that you do with some communication properties.

True, but this isn't the case. The device you are talking about is Element, which uses the protocol.
Here you can find the protocol:
https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/

It is an open standard.

> Same thing here. It's a product of one commercial company, which fully decides how it works.

You, again, conflate Matrix with Element, which btw. does not fully decide how it works.

> Conduit is not finished, and, given the monolytic nature of matrix protocol (as opposed to XMPP, by the way) it will likely never be finished. Even on it's GitHub page it writes with big big letters: DO NOT RELY ON IT.

Conduit is a server of a competing entity. I didn't claim it was finished or will ever be finished in the way that there won't be any development any more.

No, most farmers can't make ends meet because food is a commodity, because it benefits from economies of scale, and because their competition is highly optimized mega-farms with large warchests.

Without the machines and chemical inputs, roughly half of the world's population would starve in a few months. They significantly increase yields, and reduce required labour, at the cost of... Problems that future people will have to deal with.

The specific thing city people want is the same thing that all people want. Cheap food. There is zero reason to turn this into a culture war, when it's basic economics. Most people can't afford paying $7 for a gallon of milk, or $30 got a chicken.
Pseudo-counter point: SPM for firebase iOS SDK is in beta, and was released 2 weeks ago. Before this, you couldn't use SPM. The readme recommended (defaulted) to Cocoapods, with "experimental instructions for carthage". Therefore Cocoapods is likely used by most iOS apps with firebase.

Any fixed cost business will inherently have large sunk costs and will not experience net profits until you've worked your way down the cost curve. Content businesses have marginal costs that approach zero as a function of time -- of course without any operating cost of delivery. There's no need for "early industry rumors" to understand the fixed cost business of streaming.

"The Office" was paid for in full, distributed in a first-party network, then syndicated, then digitally licensed, and now back to its first-party network. The total revenue value of that decade long investment is not the same as a variable cost businesses like ecommerce, delivery services, or Moviepass.

The "stock-agnostic way" metric is volatility. GME experienced volatility never seen before. Thus measures never taken before are justified. Given your quotes around "had to" I suspect you don't believe Robinhood was essentially forced into these measures. If you're going to hate Robinhood, it should be because they created a gamified app that emboldened people to jump into the GME debacle and for creating a service that goes down in times of heavy trading, not because they had to take measures to reduce their risk profile.
Apple Event – April 20 [Live]
> Joe Rogan was free (not just free, well compensated) as an indy and could have kept his lucrative gig, but spotify dumped a truck load of money in his lawn and he decided he'd rather have that.

I mean obviously we can't know for sure without access to his finances, but I remember seeing some estimates that he could've earned the amount of money Spotify gave to him in like two years or so.

So his choice was money upfront or earning it via traditional means in a couple of years. In my view, he made the wrong choice.

I'm faced with a similar dilemma right now (but with losing money instead of gaining it) by investing in a NAS that would pay off in a little over two years by downscaling the servers I'm renting.
Seems arbitrary as clearly Matrix is decentralized despite having client/server separation.
The whole concept is questionable - single board computers, even x86, commonly have flawed USB implementations for isochronous devices (used for high quality audio). Each individual setup will be rolling the dice on whether it works and/or is free of dropouts, in ways that are unimaginable for people who have only used USB audio on full fat PCs
What tooling are you using that is slow? Sometimes it's all down to configuration and "you could do it that way but it takes eons..."

For example, on a recent project I added prettier to eslint and tried eslint-plugin-prettier however it was very very slow (like multiple minutes for an eslint run). I discovered it's basically a deprecated package and the right way to use it is eslint on it's own (with ruleset for prettier so it ignores what prettier should do) and prettier on it's own. Then each command runs lightning fast and there is no slowdown. Their docs even go into this issue under Notes on this page:

https://prettier.io/docs/en/integrating-with-linters.html

No doubt tooling can be slow but looking for configuration issues or bad practices is a good place to start if things are slow.
The problem is that any such system needs to be designed such that an individual can't be forced to give up their ironclad identity to a grocery store for loyalty discounts, to a webstore simply to make a purchase, or even to an online discussion forum - eg through blinding, nyms, and legal restrictions. But we lack the political will to mandate this, because corporate interests will sponsor loopholes that eliminate any such protections. We have the current state of affairs precisely because the law failed to include any prohibition on companies demanding SSNs/DLs for arbitrary purposes.

> Would you install unsigned, untrusted code?

Yes. I trust javascript from https://google.com the same as javascript from http://dodgywarez.example.com. Both get executed in a javascript VM, nested in a KVM VM, off of my main desktop machine. Security based on making sure that there is someone to sue just doesn't scale.
I mean, the point still kinda stands. Spotify can throw money at podcasting until the cows go home, but if they aren't buying something for their money it's just going to waste. Podcasts on Spotify aren't all that good, and every podcast I (and everyone I know) actually listen to is accessible elsewhere.

This is definitely enjoyable and impressive for being done in a browser. It covers some of the core bits of a prototypical acid set up, but there are some basic things missing.

The "909" section only has 4 sounds with some (4?) different velocity (think loudness) levels. The real thing had 26 knobs to adjust the 10 different individual outputs (plus L/R) of 11ish sounds (ride and crash cymbals are on separate outs, but open/closed high hats are on one out). The "303" has 4 knobs but the real thing has 6 and the delay would be from some sort of external effects, so really it's missing 3 controls (tuning, env mod, and accent).

The note color seems to indicate accents and slides (the yellow and purple), but I'm still having trouble hearing which is which and it's not really doing a great job of getting to the level of resonance and distortion that happens with the real thing. It's nice that delay has been added as an effect on both "303"s and the overall mix, but there are so many classic acid tracks which relied on some sort of distortion either through external effects or various mods.

The whole issue of 303 emulators is a huge rabbit hole in and of itself. [1] The history of the 303 and its various uses can also go on for hours [2]

The point in saying "race is a socially constructed category" is to counter the ideology that says that "race is a meaningful categorization of people" and, in particular, "it says meaningful things about people's nature and abilities." While ethnicity does pass along, the traits that it carries with it are so scattered and superficial that it's not meaningful in most contexts to categorize people as such, genetically speaking (though of course they can become unified by how they are treated in society).

Analogy: having brown hair is a genetic trait. But it wouldn't make sense if we categorized people as "brown-hairs" because it's just not a meaningful category that says anything much about anything except the color of their hair.
Not exactly. Podcasts were openly available as downloadable, RSS-friendly MP3 files for a long time. Apple required iOS apps to be distributed through the app store. Before that, there were no iOS apps to speak of.

Web pages are the iOS equivalent to open podcasts. iOS didn't stop those from working, although it did limit support for PWAs, which arrived years after the App Store. Even then, I can use apps like Uber without the App Store: m.uber.com.

Not all companies will try to create a web experience that's 1:1 with the mobile app, but it's not something iOS prevents.
The strangest thing about Spotify for me is that I pay for Premium as well but that doesn't save me from Joe Rogan's own commercials he inserts into his spotify podcasts. They're skippable by simply moving the seek bar to the end but why if I'm paying for Premium are they even there? They're not baked into the podcast itself but rather the player pauses the playback of the podcast and cues up multiple 120(!) second ads.

They're also a royal PITA to skip in my car because the spotify app on iPhone and PC are both awful but the mobile app is awful squared.
Thanks a lot for sharing those! Very interesting to see. The "crosstab" page looks like it was a lot of fun to implement! :)
I remember a contractor sued a startup for which I worked for treating him as a permanent employee yet didn't give her the same benefits, for the startup gave her the same laptop and the same office environment. She won the suit. Consequently, contractors from then on got crappy equipments and office environment from then on.
Can confirm Apple iOS projects use CocoaPods internally, at least the couple I was aware of when I worked there.
