Hello my name's Arin and i'm working on a personal project called C+-. It's a programming language trying to have close resemblence with C++ and C. It is currently closer to assembly then to C++ and C but we will get there. And I wanted to get some reviews on what I've done so far. It is also my first programming language which i'll go full blown on. Thanks.
I believe paying someone directly for an exclusive podcast makes more sense than paying to be on a platform. The whole idea of a podcast is for it to be accessible on any device using any player of their choice, and spotify does not fit that idea. I'm not saying my mindset is the "correct" one but how I feel.

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and there are some premium ones where you pay to get access, but once you pay, the way you access them is basically the same as all other podcasts. Hiding the actual podcast behind a certain protocol is what I raise an eyebrow to.

Also, this is my opinion only, spotify is terrible at podcasts from a usability standpoint.
When I worked at Atlassian, we had this issue as well, given all the many services that were deployed for products. A few of us left and created Sleuth [1] to solve it for Atlassian and folks like you. Sleuth helps you know what is deployed, its health, and helps with workflow automation. It also tracks the DORA metrics so you know how healthy a service release processes is.

I still use Notepad and TextEdit throughout my day. Sometimes I just need to quickly note something down.
And now I’m wondering what it’s worth on the open market. Biggest problem is it’s not something you could easily ship. It’s pretty heavy and not something you want tossed around.

This advice could be against the tide, so may not go down well with some.
But if you want to start a business(online or offline, does not matter) you need some luck and preparation. Both luck and help with preparation comes after a lot of networking. Go out(or even online) and talk to people. Talk to people on all sorts of things. And keep your eyes and ears open! You will start listening to or seeing struggles of people, or people talking about someone elses struggle. Sometime you get asked casually if you could help solve an issue(even if you do not have an expertise)! Say yes. Don't think whether you will be able to do it or not. Just say yes, and then start running to make the thing happen. Your network helps here a lot as well. Now you can start reaching out to your network to see if someone will help you solve that issue. Find someone who could. Partner with them. Give then respect by sharing the proceeds of the profit equally. This builds your name in the network and spreads beyond. Now, rinse and repeat this.

As you can see from the above description, starting a business is not a click-of-a-finger activity. It takes a lot of time just to identify a problem that needs solution; and then build that solution.
I mean, React Native is not a bad choice for a "new notepad", similar to how they did with the calculator. It can even get the "Microsoft OpenSource Project" seal. See ReactXP[1] a library for React Native from Microsoft

Speaking about the calculator app, did you know it is OpenSource[2]? You can only compile to windows as of now though

I use notepad to take notes on calls. Opens very quickly. Other editors are usually filled with my other work. I can just pop open a blank text doc, take some notes, save it, and exit.
Did they change the tracking methods because we found better ways to track it?
Good point, but if you're in a group setting only one person needs to "purchase" access to sources to make them available to the group.
Internal retrocession is a normal practice in insurance companies. The larger entity can pool money and absorb losses better.
From what I recall, the original Game Boy uses a linear regulator so is wasting 20% of its power budget to heat as it converts 6V supplied by 4 AA’s to 5V used by the electronics. (Hand waiving the numbers here.)

Modern power regulators are much better 40 years later. A casual search reveals kits like this one https://handheldlegend.com/products/3-3v-voltage-regulator which could buck/boost a variety of voltages - even letting you run on 4x 3.6V lithium batteries in AA form factor: https://www.batteryjunction.com/plc-ls14500-ba.html

I’m not sure if the power savings by switching regulators are greater than switching carts but are in the same ballpark and are worth exploring if one is going to these lengths to begin with. Certainly combined with those lithium cells it would make cart selection irrelevant.
And their support center is down as well, so the offline ticket form is displaying, but prompts for login and fails on submit.
Is this really people's attitude? Those of us actually around at that time will remember it was not that bad.

Old apps of all stripes did not generally require internet (or even network) access -- a lesson we could learn from today.
>Some states driver's license numbers are deterministically computed with your name, date of birth and gender.

Hm, I thought that couldn't be possible: if that were true, the system would be hosed the moment two people are born that match on all three. (Insert "falsehoods programmers believe about ...")

Reading through to the link, it claims that some states do have issues with collisions like that (but doesn't provide enough to confirm independently):

>>Looking at this, may become clear that it is possible for two people with similar names to get the exact same driver's license number. ... This is solved with "overflow" numbers, a simple sequential number can be appended to each duplicate number to resolve the confusion.

>>...Illinois may have overflow digits, but if they do the information is not on your driver's license. This means that if Joshua William Smith is wanted by police and his driver's license number is flagged as such, Jack Wayne Snoddy may be briefly detained while the police check their records to sort out the shared number. I have been told that Illinois state databases actually include a two or three digit number to distinguish between different people with the same license. One correspondent told me that their friend was pulled over for a minor traffic violation and was arrested as someone else. He sat in the police car for a while while they sorted it out. He and the other person had the exact same number; the other guy was a wanted man, but my correspondent's friend did not.
Android Introduction for a Java Developer?
What are good books, online tutorial and courses these days to learn Android programming for somebody who knows Java?
Kinda. I think a primary use case for modules is to help with out-of-control compile times.

But the specific problem of include-what-you-use will still be encountered if you include directly from C libraries like system headers or library dependencies.
Or if it were implemented in my planned record-oriented logic language, a mix of COBOL and Coq called CoqBOL.
If property values go up 5x, shouldn't the mill rate go down 5x, leaving property taxes the same? It's not like these towns have 5x more libraries, 5x more police officers, 5x more roads, etc. The level and number of services in the town isn't changing. It has the same number of street lights, and they all consume the same amount of electricity, and so forth.
This is same feeling I have at the beach and having to see a plane pull a banner over the ocean for Coors Light or the plethora of weed/casino billboards I see driving on public roads. We are forced into ads all around us. I'm not saying this to defend the drones, but to show the ubiquity of ads and how desensitized we've become to their invasion into our lives whether we like it or not.
I need to put my personal information in a public ledger, and then waste energy to prove it is correct?
> By demanding a world in which some things cannot even be spoken of

Excuse me, I demanded no such thing. I thought it was fairly clear that I was advocating against censorship, which invariably forces people into deeper and less accessible echo chambers. How are we supposed to convince the racists that they're wrong if we can't even see them being racist, or talk to them about it?

I'm genuinely baffled as to how "let's not hide the racists from view" can be interpreted as "ban the racists". But you may not have been the only one, as I earned many downvotes for some reason.

Are these the only two options in the discourse? Turn our backs so that "everyone can get along", or pay "content moderators" to do it for us? Can we not, you know, let em talk and use our words?
Depends on your idea of "usable" of course:), but w3m?
The whole Miku Hatsune[0] phenomenon has the front end of this idea. If someone combines something like OP (which is the 2nd best classical algorithmic music project I've listened to) with some musical AI like Jukebox[1], most of the back end would be done.

The missing parts would be the choreography and visual design. I also wouldn't personally say it's done unless it is marketing itself. At which point we are in singularity territory.

I do not like to leave inane comments, but I feel the need to share that I somehow feel a bond with you, a total stranger online, just because we share identical practices in a very specific (generally speaking) problem.
Isn't that strange.
I used to do this. Now I use 'boring' names. My funny joke is not very funny anymore spin 2 years on (even then it was only slightly funny). Then you end up with a lookup chart for what does what. When if I had just used 'normal boring' names in the first place I would not be trying to remember what object 'funnyname' does vs 'movedatatodb' object name.
Doesn't a "service" handle a domain?
Look up state space, then neural population and neural coding.

This isn't really something about neurons per se, it's about systems.

Suppose I have a system that can be fully characterized (for my purposes) by two number: temperature and pressure. If I take every possible temperature and every possible pressure, these form a vector space. But notice that temperature and pressure are not positions in the real world. It's a "state space" or "configuration space". At any moment in time, I could measure my system's temperature and pressure, and plot a point at (temperature(t), pressure(t)). As the system changes through time according to whatever rules govern its behaviour, I could take snapshots and plot those points (temperature(t+1), pressure(t+1)), (temperature(t+2), pressure(t+2)). This would give a curve "trajectory" that represents the systems evolution over time.

Okay, that's a 2D state space. But imagine I had a simulation of 10 particles (maybe some planetary simulation for a game). For each point I have maybe a 3D position (x,y,z) and a 3D velocity (vx, vy, vz). So I need 6 numbers to fully describe the state of each particle, and I have 10 particles. Therefore to fully describe the state of the whole system, I need 60 numbers. I therefore have a 60-dimensional state space. But each of these dimensions does not represent a position measurement along some axis in the world. In fact, only 30 of them do (3 * 10), the other 30 represent velocities.
I use it for seconds when Windows somehow pushes it to the top of search when I clearly mean Notepad++. The close button works well for my use cases.
If I just need to take a quick note, I'll happily run Notepad, which opens instantly, write down what I needed to write down, save it, and then move on with my life. The "runs instantly" part is what still makes it useful, nothing else comes even close to just immediately giving you a textbox to spew characters into.

That's all it's for though, for real work, real editors (meaning different editors for different tasks, because writing a long text in a code editor is kind of like insisting on using a chef knife for everything in the kitchen. Possible, but a bit silly)
What makes you think exploit crafters are waiting around for you to load their random JPG into an old version of Paint Shop Pro?

It's not like these exploits are one-size-fits-all
I do the same. People often reference CTRL+SHIFT+V without realizing that it isn't a Windows feature, the destination application needs to implement it (which several popular applications do, but not all).

Notepad is a great "scratchpad" application for clearing format/re-arranging data/fixing copy mistakes/etc. Plus leaving little short-duration notes to myself (with Sticky Notes for longer term reminders).

The fact it is a window-ed application on Windows is a major perk in 2021 when nearly no application behaves in a standard way anymore. That's why I use Notepad++ for different things than Notepad: It is more powerful, but takes longer to open, and has tabs which is a detriment for my usage of Notepad (I want fast taskbar switching) but a benefit for how I use Notepad++.

Notepad++ is great for Show Symbol -> Show All Characters, Encoding, and RegX/Extended Search&Replace in particular. Regular Notepad as a glorified clipboard helper.
If you have the other avatar available for comparison, you don't need to do so visually -- the computer can compare the raw bytes directly.
I'm curious why you feel that way?

The DevOps mantra is that you shouldn't be trying to manage deployments at all, except in aggregate. They should be seamless enough to become non-events that happen frequently and with maximal automation. Time spent doing deploys becomes irrelevant since it's a hands-off, low-risk process.

The DevOps philosophy advocates that the process of developing code and infra to that point produces many benefits to the business: first-order benefits to code and infra quality since you're demanding more from them, and second-order benefits to the business that come from releasing many times per day and going from ticket to prod quickly.

Under this philosophy, 125k annual deployments predicts the engineering department likely is exemplary rather than disastrous, since only an exemplary engineering department should be able to pull this off without frequent/severe mistakes damaging the business.

Yeah I don't think that will literally be the code, but that's the outcome. Something like a range, or the del key being handled separately, I would assume.
Bad, sure, we both agree.

Dystopian has a very specific meaning though.

From Cambridge dictionary: relating to a very bad or unfair society in which there is a lot of suffering, especially an imaginary society in the future, or to the description of such a society.

I fail to see how one can derive "a very bad or unfair society" and "a lot of suffering" from a QR code in night sky.
Nothing.

They are what they are. I don't take drugs/supplements for it. I don't even get as much exercise or eat as wll as I should.

It's a weighted basket of goods and services.

In Australia we removed housing purchase costs from the inflation basket in 1998.

To no ones surprise 20 years later it has ballooned wildly out of control over that timeframe.

If you remove something from the basket, you make every person who wants to buy that item/service non-existent in the eyes of a central bank.

Yet many seem to defend how inflation is decided and changed on a whim. Combine that with the magic number of 2-3% inflation being good, with any other number being bad, and it's clear that the current paradigm which was created in a very different world 60 years ago is a complete fucking mess.

People are called “racist” for things many would disagree has anything to do with race.

I’m pretty sure if you insisted on not renaming master branch to main, people would call you a racist.
Did you mix up inflation and interest rates in your last paragraph? The whole point of QE is to ensure interest rates stay low.
I use it every day. On my machine, it opens much faster than Sublime Text, let alone VS Code. If I want to see or change a small file, or want to write a quick note, I open Notepad.

It was really more in the win98SE, NT4 and win2000 era that they took aggressive steps to make IE the default and crush Netscape as a competitor. Preventing PC manufacturers from bundling Netscape as a default installed program with an entry on the desktop as an icon, and in the start menu, was a big part of it.
The situation isn't any different in NL either. Although there is no blanket your-company-owns-your-**s policy (your IPs), the general rule is: if you create something in your spare time that your employer could well have paid you for (i.e. it's in line with your job description), the IP belongs to your employer.

The idea behind this is that your employer pays not just for your time, but also for the skills you acquire during your work. Therefore, the output of those skills has at least partial ownership. There's a huge gray area which contains liabilities and opportunities for both sides, which is why most companies insist on signing off on personal projects. The alternative is fighting it out in front of a judge, should it ever come to that.

The Western US population / urban centre geographical distribution far more resembles an archipeligo than a continental population distribution. Part of this is due to transportation and historical settlement and development. Much though is due to water, or its lack.

This becomes especially clear when you realise that Los Angeles's watershed extends 1,500 miles eastward (about 2,400 km), to the Colorado River and the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains. Los Angeles has (under western-US water law) senior rights to water, over those of users far upstream of it.

Water supplies, and the rights to them, are based in large part on the economic (and hence legal and legislative/political power) of metropolitan areas. Since a large city with large rights effectively sucks dry land from 100s or 1,000s of miles away, population concentrates into a few centres, rather than being distributed across the land.

This contrast shows up most especially in the "Earthlights" images of the US mainland at night, where east of the Mississippi river settlements are dotted evenly through the landscape, but thin rapidly as one heads further west, dissolving into a few mega-concentrations: the Colorado front, Salt Lake - Provo, Albequerque, Phoenix, Las Vegas, LA-San Dieto, the Bay Area, Portland, Seattle. A few more-populated regions exist (the Sacramento-San Joaquine valley, the Willammette valley), but these are sparse compared with the Eastern US.

Any small town has two problems:

* influx of tourism and remote owners -> rising prices

* lack of tourism or property interest -> slow death

I am not sure what would be the right public policy to balance the two extremes.

Maybe Hawaii has the right idea with tiered property taxation - the longer you reside there, the lower your property tax becomes?

> where we're taking about outsiders making it more difficult for locals to hold to their homes

I'm predominantly suggesting making it easier to build new high density housing. The other side is to slow move to taxing estimated land values rather than house prices. This means that you pay for your share of the benefit you get from improvements to the land that you didn't make - a new metro line, for example, or a new supermarket or school. But if you renovate your house you wouldn't pay any more in taxes.

> Plus, those outsiders only want to come live to a place (over other places) because the place has been developed well by the locals.

Most infrastructure funding comes from central governments (at least in the countries I am aware of) so I don't understand what you mean by this exactly.
I certainly wouldn't try to change your mind. The question is, what would you like to do about it?

Advertising is the most frictionless way to monetize content. If you own content and want to make money, advertising requires your consumers to pay nothing and install nothing except what they already have.

Everything else is harder to use and less effective. People keep trying and nothing works as well. Users ignore tip jars. They circumvent paywalls. They share passwords. Micropayments cost too much and have too much overhead.

We'd all love a good alternative, but nobody's found it yet. We all think that privacy is the worst, except for all the others. As with cancer, we wish it didn't exist, but that's not effective. We need to research cures.
