First, Spotify likes have been broken since forever, things you not liked end up as liked tracks. Second, it is obvious that the recommendations are mostly based on what you previously listen to. Hence, all parents are spammed with kids songs. I think they made a fix for that now though.

People does not act according to there believes and I have a hard time thinking that votes would beat history when it comes to mass consumption of music. Down votes are in general also known to cause problems.

For me, Spotify recommendations are by far the best recommendations on any entertaining platform I use. I use them all the time. Compare it with Youtube for instance were music recommendations are repetitive and mostly irrelevant.
I have never listened to a podcast on Spotify and I still have them on my home screen, so I think that it's hardcoded, not a generated recommendation.

The probably autogenerated daily mixes have been surprisingly non-bad for me. Nothing like rap mix invaded by Bach, but the "classic rock" mix sometimes has Ghost that doesn't really sound that out of place.
> I think it is very likely you will become wealthier.

Bitcoin does not produce or destroy US dollars. So for each US dollar that you take out of Bitcoin, some later investor needs to put in a US dollar.

What happens when the supply of new suckers stops? It's not like BTC has any dividends, or makes some product that it can sell.
nuclear isn't profitable for lobbyist because of the regulations around it, can't outsource production of panels to China and reap massive profit margins from subsidies. Same thing for wind turbines. I know executives with power companies who built out massive wind farms only because of the subsidies, those wind mills have about a 20 year life time and can't be recycled or reused
Can you give examples of their lack of knowledge?
They would be useless at jobs. So they won't get hired. So they won't get untethered financially from their parents.

They wouldn't be interesting people. So they wouldn't meet someone. So they won't have children.

They vote. Whichever way the last 6 weeks of TwitTok told them to.

I'm sorry, I seem to have something in the oven, brb
It currently supports Markdown, Txt Files, and OrgMode. The OrgMode is thanks to an app called Orgzly [0] whose Widgets are being used within GitJournal. Also, I'm additionally working on letting you open any text file [1], but I won't make a release of this until early next week.

I'm literally working right now on removing more of the code which assumed all notes would be in Markdown format, and make GitJournal open to supporting any.

If you try it out, please let me know how it did for your use case. I'm just getting started with OrgMode.

Thanks. Next question: Inland waterways are fresh water, and generally they carry the largest volume of water near the coast, so why not build next to a river?
“ Piki selects music from a database of roughly 5 million songs and incentivizes users by giving them $1 for every 25 songs they rate. The Piki interface plays a song, and then gives the listener the ability to rate it after different amounts of time. Specifically, the user can “dislike” the song after 3 seconds, “like” the song after 6 seconds and “superlike” it after 12 seconds.”

These people are training on a completely different set of features than what Spotify is using. For example, listen time is likely to be a important feature where a short time or a skip will be a pretty good proxy for a dislike.

In other words, the authors conclusions are conditioned on only using the features outlined in the article, like, dislike, and super like. And I’m not sure it will generalize for Spotify.
This could be donation matching. I don't think AWS would give such a small sum for any other reason.
Yes, that + PKCE dPoP and all is well
No, you must surely can see that these are not symmetric: no-one questions whether gayness exists, and no-one questions whether people exist who identify with a gender that's not their birth sex. But there's HUGE disagreement across the world about whether to use the word "woman" for a person born male who identifies as female. Even if you are very clear where you personally stand on that question, you surely see that vast numbers of people across the world believe the answer is "no"?

There's no analogous question regarding homosexuality.
Is that like a Canon Xerox?
> no one knows the future

If you read history, you have a pretty good idea of what happens to a "market" like tulips or the South Sea Bubble where there is no actual products or cashflow.
This was my experience with YouTube music - no matter what genre station I started off with, it eventually settled back onto the same small number of currently-trending songs. I get much more diverse recommendations from Spotify.
I like Rider better even on Windows. My favorite thing about Visual Studio on Windows was always the debugger, and I think Clion and Rider have lapped them there in the past two years.
> but it doesn't occur to them that Sinn's stores all that electricity because at some point the grid will needs it!

I'm pretty sure that they understand that. What they don't understand (and what I don't understand) is why is Sinn making the amount artificially high by ignoring the economics. I immediately understood what Zerrahn was getting at, and even before I knew how different authors approached this problem in literature, I would have myself intuitively gone for an approach like Zerrahn's. MRTS is surely not a difficult concept to grasp.

> For instance, in my own data (France, year 2017, for the record the scenario was 100% RE) from the first of January 12am, to the 3rd at 3pm the wind capacity factor barely exceed 10%, three days in a row. For this period only you'd need 3TWh of storage! No reasonable level[1] of curtailment is gonna help here.

I can't tell you what Zerrahn's approach would tell you for the French grid. You can't really extrapolate that from German results. You'd have to pretty much re-do the whole work, including getting equivalent data for the French grid.
Hibernate eventually began posing trouble for a few reasons. Firstly, as memory sizes increased, the time to hibernate became longer as you had to entirely serialize memory to disk.

Secondly, the number and types of peripherals were tricky to reconstitute and grab the state of, and this made working with the OS tricky. It would be possible that an application might be in the middle of an operation with a device that was no longer present, for example.

Sleep was easier, and yes, it "just worked".

It feels as though laptops are less functional now than they used to be because of stuff like this!
Deezer has a button to not recommend tracks.
If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. They didn't have to donate at all. $5k is not an insignificant amount of money for most people.
I think perhaps the explanation why modern applications seem as slow as, or in many cases slower than their Windows 3.11 equivalents loading stuff off a floppy disk, may be this general disregard for choosing good data structures.

We have a hardware that's thousands, if not a million times faster, yet it hardly seems to matter when the code is a thousand, if not a million times slower.
Maybe I've been looking at the wrong companies, then. It seems like the majority of openings are looking for formal educational attainment or years of on-the-job experience that, as a self-taught programmer paying bills via a different field, I simply don't have.

There's nothing wrong with using a bootcamp to get started. Everyone has to start somewhere. The bootcamps have often gotten a bad reputation for pretending they prepare you to dive right into a serious job as an experienced developer. Many of them are guilty of misleading people to pull customers, doing the typical thing of promising overly fast results.

Bootcamps, self-education, go to school for it, internships; a combination of things. There are plenty of ways to get started and keep progressing.

Skip could also mean "I like this song, but I want to hear something different at the moment".
I made this mistake. I did undergrad research instead of internships in school and was sure I wanted to do a PhD -- until my final semester.

I ultimately wound up having to do a much worse internship than I would've gotten partnered with my school. It took me nearly three months to find it. Big mistake that I recommend anyone in University reading this right now to avoid. Diversify your experiences!

When I need to borrow your car, I get stabbed in the lungs, though.
I don't think there is.

You need water to your east (because you can't fly over people for safety reasons), for a really long way. As in launches from texas have to dodge Florida, Cuba and all the other islands over there.

You need very low population density (because rocket launches and landings require large exclusion zones).

You need to be in the US, because of export restrictions.

You want to be as far south as possible, for efficiency reasons (to get as much kinetic energy from the earths rotation as possible).

You are looking at this launch site, attempting to acquire a lot of land on Florida's coast (not really feasible anymore, it's all occupied), or launching from tiny islands/ocean platforms which will have the exact same fresh water issues.
Thank you for your insightful research.

What can individuals do? Is there a place to leave public comments?
At least half, maybe the majority of our engineers are junior. We do reject the majority of applicants however. That’s usually because of a bad resume (seriously, not everyone can land a SWE internship, but at least show food service experience or something). In the interviews, many candidates either lack basic coding or problem solving skills. I don’t even ask leetcode questions, and only a minority of folks can answer them (and I allow them to look up reference material online).
> It's not like people are lining to replace Putin, Xi or even Trump.

People were, in fact, lining up to replace Trump.

And one did. Rapid transition from antiliberal to liberal regimes (rather from illiberal leaders within a basically liberal system) is a hard problem; the elements of liberal regimes evolved slowly through class power politics, mostly long before liberal philosophy rationalized them, and otherwise have spread mostly slowly by contact, though occasionally rapidly through conquest and deliberate social reengineering by rhe conqueror. But even then, its usually a rapid burst after a long infiltration, not a 0-60 rush.
Technically comptime makes zig Turing complete (except that you have a finite number of branches available to consume during comptime).
They wouldn't, of course! Releasing resources silently (other than the memory of automatic variables) is very un-C-like.
> There are a lot of unbanked people in the world, more than we in our western minds would dare to guess, I think.

I'll bet you haven't travelled in the developing world either.

I have.

I met tons of unbanked people, nearly all because they don't have any money. And the ones that do aren't going to invest it in "some app on their phone".

And what is the median balance on those wallets?
It's more like the wealthy's "buy, borrow, die" strategy [1] without the cumbersome "buy" part. Japan's debt to gdp is almost 200% as the population decline continues. Confidence won’t evaporate until the market determines productivity can’t meet the yield bought. Somebody is going to be left holding the bag, but it ain’t anybody investing today.

On your first point, that is easy to measure, no? The effectiveness of the younglings at keeping up?

On your second point, I think people care less about other people. That explains how you can be tolerable, no matter what they actually think of your conduct. They don't care.

Good thing the gas price spike has concentrated minds.

My parents live in France. They have to replace their 40 year old gas furnace, and were originally planning on replacing it with a 30% more efficient condensation gas furnace, but the French government gave them subsidies for a heat pump instead. They get heating that is powered by stable French nuclear power and are not exposed to volatile natural gas prices, the French reduce their dependency on gas imports from the distasteful Algerian, Qatari or Russian governments, everyone wins.
Anyone reading this, from a sysadmin: Go for brother. Ink or laser. No issues, never had a single problem in the last 10 years.

Lexmark was okay for a while until their imaging units started crapping (700 series).
Personal story about a sister-in-law that worked for Brother for 5+ years, all her stories made it seem like a employee focused and ethical company.

She got really sick really fast, Brother fired her as suddenly the "position no longe existed", cancelled her health insurance, and - speaking with their lawyers - they knew that she might very well not live to see the end of a civil case trying to reinstate her position/insurance. She did not get to see a day in court, had to fight to get subpar health care for the short duration of the rest of her life.

Just one story, and I'm sure there are many cases where they treated their sick employees better, and there are always two sides of every story, "would have increased the total cost of everyone's insurance" etc... that said no Brother product will enter my abode again.

I almost never comment on anything, but seeing ethical and Brother in the same sentence just got me. Apparently that story is still raw after 4 years.
There's usually a clause somewhere in small print where you agree to some massive EULA on some url through just the act of buying the product.
(b) is entirely a deficit of the parents, or of a prudish culture that makes conversations about sexuality taboo. It is not intrinsic to sexuality.

Meanwhile, mainstream culture doesn't bother to similarly "protect" children from alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, and other vices. It would look weird if parents allowed and encouraged consumption before a certain age (which exactly depends on culture), but we don't bother to hide from them that we consume, and pretty much accept that they will routinely consume at some point too.

We can discuss at length how damaging each of these is, but I find it hard to argue that addictions created by alcohol, cigarettes, and sugar are any less damaging than issues caused by exposure to porn. All of these vices carry danger, but their acceptance in society varies. Because of this, issues with the more taboo ones are more difficult to prevent, to diagnose and to treat.
Carbon emissions from India are 1.9 tons per capita, for China it is 7.38 per capita and America is 15.52 tons per capita. China would be lower still if it wasn't a factory for American consumer goods.
Software development gets marketed as an easy desk job that pays well. Reality is you either need a certain mindset (sitting in front of a computer 8 hours a day and trying to figure out how to get it to do something is not something most people find fulfilling) or need to be prepared for a really boring mentally taxing grind that's going to take years.

I've seen people trying to get into development from bootcamps and just break under the requirements just to contribute to a modern project. Not to mention that the bare-minimum approach to problem solving is going to slow down your learning process (you can only get so far with copy pasting and Google).
Color laser printers are also pretty solid these days without paying through the roof. It sounds more like OP just got unlucky with two lemons in a row.
I have tried Fedora and battery life was still awful in comparison. Looking at the details of the changes referenced in your 1st link they are for Intel chips or chipsets. My Thinkpad is Ryzen based.

I even tried the beta of Fedora 35 which still had awful power management for me. After a couple of days I installed the latest to tlp to see if it had improved the situation since my last try. Still no where near Windows and requires disabling the new power profiles daemon.

Maybe things would be better for me at this point if I had an Intel based laptop but my previous one was and the situation then was the same.
By developing software.

…which is why “developer” is not a good job-description. I suppose it’s as if both a bricklayer and a civil-engineer referred to themselves as “builders”.

—————-

I think you meant to ask “how does someone become an SWE?” - in which case (because we don’t have professional licensing for SWE compared to civil-eng) it’s somewhat vaguer and, in my opinion, more based on the opinions of those around you. I suppose a succinct definition is “applies engineering principles to a problem-solving project” - and one can argue that being self-taught or a coding-camp attendee - or even an AS graduate - will very likely lack exposure to training in engineering principles that they can apply to their work.
In short, yes. The part where the professor says "jobs will catch up" is naive at best, dangerous in reality.
The only thing I really want in C is the gradual removal of undefined behavior.

1. Those on top naturally don't see the problem. Or they do and are intentionally disengenuous. People like their 150K paycheck and know that they're replaceable if we allow more workers.

2. Companies made their bed and are lying in it. They refuse to invest into devs because they know they're gone in 2 years. They're gone in 2 years because companies don't give incentives to stay. They would rather hire someone else and pay them more than pay an existing employee more. Lots of made up reasons as to why, it's become culture and everyone goes along with it.

3. Software work is exported to India and elsewhere. That's not a new fact, it's been going on since the 90's. Cheap global labor pushes out domestic labor. But no senator with the superpac's to get elected would ever dream of restricting global markets. Their salary depends on them not doing so.

4. A company will never say their market isn't in demand. That's like saying your company is unprofitable or that it makes bad products. It may be true, but you always say you're viable and make the best. Same as how you say your jobs are in high demand. More applicants = more control, you can pay less with less benefits.

So while those in power do nothing because they're not affected, graduating students are met with little to no jobs, and we yet again see more socioeconomic decline. If dev work was in high demand there wouldn't be an unemployed compsci student in the U.S. yet I know multiple. Companies and those with the incentives are lying.
Most companies are running some sort of copy of Google’s hiring pipeline, which doesn’t evaluate the ability to learn (the key to finding good junior candidates). The startup I used to work at tried to fix this by pair programming with the candidate for an hour on a trivial feature in the codebase. I felt like it did a reasonable job of finding people who learn quickly, though it didn’t often select for strong problem solving.
Anti-nuclear opposition was indeed primarily against nuclear weapons, until Chernobyl. But the idea that it was backed by the USSR is without substance, a slur that's always made against anyone vaguely left wing without substantiation.

The aim was bilateral (or occasionally unilateral) disarmament, because at that time we were all worried that the world might be destroyed at four minutes notice. The long slow problem of global warming was a lot further away.

Even today, this is why nobody likes the Iranian nuclear programme, and why Israel airstriked an earlier Iranian reactor.
With respect, your comment illustrates the issue - a burden to reeducate people by shaping their culture. Music can make a statement, sure, but a world where people are force-fed curated playlists designed to mold them into some Standard Issue set of beliefs, this is a dystopian vision.
> I believe public comment is super important for these types of projects.

Something I've always wondered: How is it that public comments have power? What stops officials from mostly ignoring them or misconstruing them? And if the comments do have power, what stops vested interests from hijacking them?
Indeed. It's been mentioned in the relevant issue: https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/issues/3838

The idea the companies should be able to do whatever they want to their employees and if the employees don't like it they should leave seems common here. But I think a lot of people are really fed up with that attitude and it's a big reason why we're in the midst of the Great Resignation.

I basically did that out of a small university with no internship experience or strong university/personal connections, in 2013.

It was definitely a struggle at start and I've had to struggle through some really crappy roles, but I'm doing pretty solid now. Making almost double now than I was when I started out, I'm a team lead now and very happy with the company I am with now.
I would said by developing. I don't care where do you start. Just grab a keyboard and start. Choose a personal project. It can be an app for your phone, a small game, a website for your local sport club, a mod, a bot, whatever. You can reinvent the wheel, you can innovate, use all the libraries you want. There is no rules but start. Then line after line, bug after bug, someone become a developer. You will be your first user. Shit starts with the second one. You don't to be a professional one. You don't have to earn money. I think, that you just have to develop.
_If_ this works, it would be great. How many of them have been built so far?
Michael Burry recently took out a massive short position on BTC and is likely very deeply in the red at this point. Just like he is with Tesla. People who call once-in-a-lifetime events don't do it more than once, it's in the name.
