I remember a story on Startup Podcast (by Gimlet media) about an atheist who looked at top 100 apps, and realized that there was an opportunity to build a better Bible app.

So, sometimes market research is very valuable. This risk you have for "solving problems you personally have" is that you can end up trying to build infra tooling like new databases.

That's sad...
Just for the record, because I use this with literally every call I make - voip.ms (and presumably other providers) allows call recording by default. Recordings can be emailed to presumably any address, listened to directly on their site, or downloaded directly.

Assuming you port your number there, I've found Acrobits Softphone [0] to work exceptionally well; if the price tag is an issue, Android has built-in SIP software in the vanilla Android Calls app. Highly recommend their service, doubly so as it means I only need a data plan - meaning I only pay $15/month for calls, text, and (3GB) data, which is no mean feat in Canada!

So you don't do anything below XK-class end-of-the-world scenarios, so you?

Your massive overreaction shows no difference to your perceived enemies. This is a game and the creators want to limit the game world and the actions therein to exclude certain content.

This isn't about control over what people think. There are social norms and these change over time.

The "facts" in your message are the same kind of facts that your typical Karen shouts into the phone when they call 911 because there's a negro walking through their neighbourhood. Same level of paranoia, same unhinged out of proportion response.

When was the last time RMS was literally hunted down by a mob? Because if he wasn't, I have to ask who the real fragile flowers are - the ones that get easily offended or the guys like you who see freedom being destroyed and the 4th Reich rising because a private company wants to remove child pornography from their product?

Ridiculous.
Wishful Thinking 009: Anytime RSS
This has not been my experience. On public timelines of instances with even moderately popular users, the public timelines get messages minutes or seconds apart. Plenty of users have hundreds (or in the case of some admins and fediverse devs, thousands) of followers. It's a thriving community.
But nobody was talking about the price delta then.

The narrative was "for 300 bucks you can make your computer so much faster, best investment ever". No mention about increasing HDD prices, nobody cared.
The problem with a minimum wage or subsidized labor is that your are dependent on the availability of work for everyone which mandates a constantly growing economy that will destroy our planet.

If you are comfortable with fluctuating minimum wage to control unemployment, you could do the same thing with UBI.

Personally, I don't think that we should to threaten our citizens with homelessness and hunger to get them to be contributing members of society.

I would personally institute UBI gradually, pairing UBI increases with reductions in the minimum wage during economic downturns to stimulate the economy.
That’s interesting, I hadn’t considered the falling asleep state. Yeah maybe that has happened to me too.

It’s hard / practically impossible to determine exactly what it is though. It might be someone in the next room, someone walking past, another sound entirely that got morphed into the sound you heard to fit your brains narrative as you were falling asleep. Might even be that your phone was hacked!

Something sort of similar: I used to feel phantom phone vibrations when I had the vibration feature activated.

Conversely, the VM product line that Microsoft acquired is Virtual PC (though they did not buy out Connectix as a whole).
I can think of one possible quick-fix solution to this: They make a library/catalog of public domain media, and whenever a claim is raised, the offending media is compared to the library of public domain.

Of course, it's far from perfect. For example - even though a piece of music is public domain, it doesn't mean that the interpretation is public domain. For example, if you cover a public domain song, you can claim copyright for that performance. This is where the automated claims system goes haywire - you actually need people (for now) to distinguish between original piece and a cover piece.
As a general rule of thumb, the more something costs the worse it is for the environment.

Resources cost money. The more resources something took to produce, the more it costs, generally. Yes there are plenty of exceptions.

It's not going to improve payment, people who don't want to pay won't pay. The ROI on completely redoing turnstiles also probably wouldn't be great for the same reason. People hold the emergency door after all, and I don't see how a sliding gate can't just be kept open by shuffling in after someone else (the gate won't close with an obstruction right?)
Lol the Jewish Theological Seminary is definitely not Orthodox. I'm surprised they even know enough halacha to know how to explain it; maybe it's gotten less orthodox over time.
Many, many creators who's content is not youtube friendly are hosting their videos off platform (no shortage of options there) and only posting previews on youtube to direct their subscribers and anyone who happens upon their videos to an external site.

Google makes this moderately difficult of course, but it seems to be a viable option when coupled with patreon (where you usually get more content/early access/more creator engagement) or some other external subscription where the same is offered.

To answer your question succinctly, no, you don't want "other youtube" you want something sufficiently different to avoid youtube's pitfalls.
1. Does it mean that I need to recompile the whole Python or Ruby interpreter each time I want to use MySQL?

Is Apple’s iOS App Store “public” though? Ostensibly it’s only open to Apple customers with an iOS device: accessing App Store pages in a web-browser just redirects you to the App Store.
>a service where Google presents you an apk, and you sign it.

This doesn't work if the idea is to dynamically generate APKs for the vast Android ecosystem. In theory they could dynamically upgrade apps to be compatible with future OS versions etc.
The speedup is very noticeable. Like others I'm running the "native-comp" branch of Emacs, since months, without any issue.

It's now been merged into trunk and it's going to be the default:

The only drawback I saw is that compiling Emacs itself takes 3x to 4x longer when compiling the native-comp branch.

The era where disk space is a rare commodity and the savings gained by dynamic libraries are worth the tradeoffs ended a decade ago.

Heck, the heavy usage of Docker or similar in industry really signals that developers are more than happy to tradeoff disk usage, often a lot of it comparatively speaking, for reliability.
> At the same time, multiple new industries have sprung up and computer/ai-aided workers are vastly more productive than ever.

I used to believe this but the reality appears completely the opposite. If the US economy was vastly more productive then we should see capital investment in areas with huge unmet needs. Take healthcare as an example, one of the shining beacons of AI-assisted efficiency, a colossal failure to actually address healthcare needs cheaply and effectively. Real estate is another; here we are in a world of telecommuting and automated brick-laying machines - and prices are sky-rocketing in many areas despite apparent "urban exoduses". We have high quality printing for cheap, yet the art market has reached such peaks that it has spawned a market in owning an exclusive "token" that links you (the purchaser) to an artwork in an essentially ineffective way except as a speculative asset. Exclusivity is the name of the game, and those who afford to pay for it will pay through the nose.

Unskilled labour is cheap because there are a lot of skilled people also competing for it. They are competing for those low wages because the success of monetary policy has led to a situation where there is a greater return selling exclusivity and limitation than there is actually producing products to sell to everyone. Capital investment has become so overrun with cash we treat it as an expense (subscription, everything-as-a-service, etc) or as a bet in the hopes we hit a unicorn (PACS, bitcoin, etc).

The slow march back to fiscal policy will, hopefully, deflate a lot of this inefficiency. One might hope that we end up in the fertile lands between the territories of the fiscal and monetary hawks, but life isn't like that.
It’s certainly better than denigrating them as out of touch ivory tower types.
> And yet that hasn't happened on macOS despite existing for two decades.

Hasn’t it? Pretty much everyone else seems to think it has. The cottage industry of high quality Mac software makers is practically dead and even the Omni Group is struggling.

As for Cydia, that was too small to be a model for anything. It’s also from another era. Remember Facebook was just a web app in those days, and nowhere near the behemoth it is today.

Android stores other than Google play are all second class citizens and so not relevant.

The proposals for alternate app stores on iOS are all explicit that they cannot be second class citizens.

Facebook would love to approve apps that have a tracking identifier and don’t ask permission to track. What would stop them if they ran their own store?
Some would say keto is a way of eating as opposed to a diet that can been seen as a temporary change of eating habits.

I've never heard anybody say that keto causes brain fog. In fact a lot of people describes the opposite result which I would think most search results are about. There's also something called "keto flu" which some people experience for some time when they switch to a keto diet.

These terms are pretty vague and the best way to get a better understanding is too try keto yourself. It's just a different way if eating. You don't have to cook fancy meals and you can stop at any time.
Miners are definitely still mining bitcoin.
Stay off their lawn, then? (Also, tall grass doesn’t really attract rodents. It just gives them a place to hide. Food in uncovered garbage is a much bigger issue.)
they could push an update that makes it appear like the author signed version is on the device, but in reality a different version is run.

they control the keys to the software delivery channel and the operating system. large parts of this are closed source. users and developers trust them and that's just how it is.

that said, it's not pretty and i hope it's just a backwards compatibility stopgap as discussed upthread.

2019 Tesla Model 3. Electric is the way to go and can't say enough goodness about Tesla. After the state/fed rebates I think my Std Plus came in around $27K. Now here's the best part: paid total of $20 in 2yrs for charging in >20K miles. During day, my work pays for charging so it's fully charge all the time and if not work like during the pandemic, target has free charging and other locations, of course most are not free. I've had no other cost to maintain the car at all in the 2yrs. Considering one could pay $4/gal with 25mpg comes to $3,200 in gas I saved not to mention no oil/filter changes either. It's great, while charging for free at Target, I'm streaming Netflix or Youtube onto the car's dashboard while working on my laptop. A complete mobile home office :)
"When restoring a film, experts such as James White and Robert A Harris agree: the goal is to create a finished product that resembles the original theatrical experience as much as possible."

I guess I'm not an expert, because I see a great advantage in being able to improve the movie to make it more enjoyable to watch.

For example, take Wings (1927). The version I saw recently was a very sharp HD version. They enhanced it a bit by drawing a bit of color on flames, and added a noise here and there.

I'd take that way further:

1. colorize it with ML learning techniques and techniques used by the /r/colorizedhistory subreddit

2. lip read the actors, get rid of the title cards, and dub in the voices

3. add foley sound effects

4. add appropriate music

People can still see the original if they want, and others can enjoy what the director would likely have done if sound and color were available.
Depend on how you define that.

I know for sure some would consider what I was hearing exactly that, but most wouldn't.

I've never heard a single personal opinion that I would consider actual Nazi or Confederate though.

You could probably use jsonnet expressions and invoke them from a pre-commit hook.

That seems fairly elegant to me.

Every content creator I follow seems pretty desperate to get away from YouTube. Creating a system where critical content creators are rewarded by an algorithm that requires burnout behavior continually does not seem like a long term stable business design.
“ Think of it this way. In a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, you are calculating the net present value of future cash flows as an estimate of the value of the business. The implicit assumption is that $1 of cash flow is worth $1 before adjusting for the time value of money. However, if you have a management team that habitually destroys capital with “strategic” acquisitions, then perhaps $1 of cash flow should be worth far less. ”
Regarding your comments about scientific advances not rendering previous theories obsolete, I agree with this, but that's not what I'm saying is likely to happen and it's not what I think has happened in the past.

What I'm trying to say is that whatever the next paradigm is, e.g QM/Einstein to Newton, is going to be beyond our capability to even imagine, and it'll unlock rather incredible possibilities that will seem magical by today's standards, all the while subsuming our current theories.

We haven't been doing physics that long, and you're right that we're not stupid but we evolved under pretty significant calorie constraints so we have no reason to think we're at the upper bound of intelligence in terms of potential. It would surprise me if there isn't much more to discover in this domain by beings much smarter than us with a million years of research time.

Our theories say that FTL travel is impossible by travelling through space, but why is it unlikely that the next physics paradigm will be able to figure out a way to manipulate space to achieve de facto FTL travel, for example? Is there something in our current theories that tells us this is unlikely to happen (not merely that it's currently unknown and theoretical, which is a statement that I agree with)?

"we'd know it"

Would we? I feel like this assumes that these probes would build Dyson Spheres. Is that the only way these probes could work? Why couldn't they bring or build their own fusion reactor.
> i have seen no-tip service implemented in a way that satisfied employees.

Have you seen no-tip service implemented with waitstaff earning as much as they did before?

> if tipped service was abolished tomorrow, employers would figure it out.

Of course they would figure it out if tipped service were abolished. But I am confident the outcome of whatever they figured out would result in lower take-home pay for waitstaff, as waitstaff would no longer be able to earn more money by switching to an establishment that allowed tips.
> that would introduce a lot of complexity for Google

Oh well, they're imposing it upon everyone else.

Google controls what apps are distributed and run on over 40% phones and tablets in the US.

Users deserve the right to know if what they're downloading and installing is what they're supposed to be getting. Developers deserve the right to know that what's shipping to their customers is what they intended. Billions of people are vulnerable if the Play Store's infrastructure gets, or is, compromised, or if its owners or governments decide to do something nefarious.
If you need to change a statically built executable, you can always patch it manually. This was how no-CD cracks worked back in the day.

Yes, dynamic linking makes this process easier, but it makes it so easy that both users and distro maintainers regularly break software without even realising it (hence why Red Hat use 5-year old versions of everything).
> modifying commits pointed to by tags

You can’t modify commits. They are immutable. Tagged commits are reachable so they won’t get gc’ed.

> Also, I don't think I've ever seen a repo where every pushed commit is tagged

Sorry, I thought we were talking about releases (aka important commits). I’ve certainly seen plenty of repos where all the releases are tagged.

As an iOS developer, Apple developer relations has been HEAVILY courting us to adopt subscriptions for our app. With long Keynote presentations extolling all the virtues and showing sample case studies and everything.

We would prefer the traditional model of "pay for major feature updates every years" but the app store does not support that.
I should clarify - it's at the start of runtime when the library is initially loaded. Not afterwards. You'd have to restart the program to swap a library.

For testing and simulation, it's a way to mock dependencies. You get to test the otherwise exact binary you'll deploy. And you can inject tracing and logging.

Solver installations tend to be long-lived, but require customizations, upgrades, and fixes over time. Dynamic linking lets you do that without going through the pain of reinstalling it every time. Also with solvers you're likely to see unconventional stuff for performance or even just due to age.
Alternatively, the Supreme Court could flex its muscles and show those naughty big tech firms who's boss. I'm sure plenty of conservatives would love that.

That impulse would be balanced by the "pro-business" (usually anti-consumer) attitude many conservatives have, so it could go either way.
That is not the premise on which UBI is built. If I had to pick just one it would be that we have more productive capacity than we need, so threatening people with death (your words) to be productive is no longer necessary.

The services credit card companies provide was just pushed a layer deeper to the issuing banks. The EU didn’t magically make the costs of running a payment system disappear, it’s just sleight of hand. They also pushed costs onto consumers in the form of assumed risk consumers take on when making a purchase (thus all the 2fa etc to reduce this burden).

Oh and it goes without saying that rewards programs disappeared entirely (I am not opposed to outlawing “rewards” programs)
Just got that too. I’ve had an open “you’ll have to fire me first” position on the matter.

I don't think federation is the core issue with e-mail. I see the core problem as terrible MUAs don't use nearly enough signals to interpret identity of senders.

SMTP has means to identify servers and domain ownership, web browsers have infrastructure to identify and verify arbitrary websites, and S/MIME exists. Most MUAs ignore basically all of this and instead trust whatever address is in a message's From header.
I do not care that the company invested in office spaces. I’m paid to do work, and if I do worse work from an open plan office then demanding that I return to it because some executive is suffering from a sunk cost problem is genuinely stupid. That executive can mourn their losses privately and leave me alone do to the work I’m actually paid to do, thankyouverymuch.
