> and most of the artists sampling it would have taken that sample from other electronic artists rather than from the original Winstons vinyl

It was already popular in hip hop several years before it became popular in the underground electronic scene. It was used by Salt-n-Pepa in 1986, and by NWA, Ghetto Boys, 2 Live Crew and Ultramagnetic MCs in 1988. Even Janet Jackson used it in 1990. Heck, Informer by Snow used it! And those are the ones we know. Hardly underground.

In hip hop it was most certainly taken from the vinyl, as samplers with the required storage were still quite pricy at the time, not to mention most producers were doing their own sampling. The track name was probably passed from DJ to DJ.

The Amen craze in Electronic music only started in the early 90s. There was already some break beats in the last years of the 80s, but it was mostly Funky Drummer. It was around 90/91 when electronic musicians started doing it, from Atari Teenage Riot to Carl Cox, but it was already a thing in hip hop.
Gross. Just let people work where they want already!
I had a domain with them for years, a couple months ago they ditched their entire IMAP/POP3/SMTP email platform and moved all customers to a trial of Microsoft Office365.

I guess that was another part of their ‘legacy platform’?

I transferred the domain to Gandi which offers a couple of email addresses with each domain, something I kept putting off expecting GoDaddy to make it difficult, but it was fine.

But I do wonder how competent a registrar/web/email tech company is if they can’t run email services, and now apparently can’t run websites securely either? I spent a while mulling Fastmail and Rollernet and Mxroute vs paying for Office365 and thinking about how impossible it is to know if a company has the tech skills to back their product offering - and then if they actually do use them - or are just marketing.
The thing is though, Starship is so radical that even if it only delivers on some of its promises (I think it will fly in one form or another), it’s going to be a game changer.

So for example if it’s not as cheap as expected, it’s still huge that it can deliver volumes larger than the interior of the ISS to orbit in a single launch — that alone means much less of a need to resort to exotic materials and expensive engineering to cut down on weight and volume on projects like the James Webb Space Telescope. It could also have huge implications for which types of orbital stations it’s practical to build.

This seems a decent explanation for Honda's plans to (possibly) expand into producing rocket engines & rockets. At least at more-junior levels of combustion engineering.
I've found it really helpful to re-challenge yourself. Do it faster, do it better, learn the underside, read the sources.

In the end, you'll create real value while improving yourself. Then it's an easy matter to be recognized or move on.
Good points mentioned by others at this level of the thread.

I'd also assume that it may be that having the weekend could put one in the mindset of relaxation and cause procrastination at the start of what could be an intense process that requires drive (depending on individual's circumstances).

Or maybe it's kinda the opposite where if one were to quit on say a Monday instead, there's a good chance that the work week mindset holds, kicks the individual into being productive (maybe more productive than usual out of necessity), and then that weekend would be very much needed to wind down/refresh and reflect on the progress that was made.

Again, just my assumptions, but seem like likely scenarios that could play out

Edit: spelling
I feel like the horse has left the barn. So many people at my firm have permanently moved to Montana, Houston, Arizona. No decrease in productivity. It's going to be really hard for management to entice them back to the office, if ever.

Also noticing all the recruiters who contact me these days lead with remote or % wfh.
The greatest advantages of remote work are that it removes many of the downsides of a bad work environment:

* No commute (not the employers fault really)
* You can zone out in irrelevant meetings.
* Sit down during stand-ups.
* Soft 'intimidation' does not work well over the phone
* No open office noise

etc.

Since I changed job from a chaotic place with 50min commute each way, to a tidy job within walking distance, the remote work thing seems like a minor perk, rather than the best thing ever.
I wonder if some of this is due to covid-driven inflation, possibly in china or other countries?
I'm genuinely curious: why should contributors have to endure someone's toxicity if something can be done about it? In professional settings, I've seen colleagues get fired over bad behavior, and not for the lack of competence - and I can safely say the team's morale and productivity went right up each time. I fail to see how this couldn't be applicable to open source projects that wish to do it as well, as you'll typically have to get involved quite a bit with these individuals if you're going to contribute.
What random accusations am I "spreading so wildly"? The fact that Stallman is being accused of various kinds of sexual misconduct is a fact. I did not anywhere claim they were true. I'm pointing it out because it makes the points above stand on shakier ground.

The article you shared also fails to defend many of the accusations against Stallman and completely ignores them, for example the "Emacs virgin girl" situation.
I think this is less about ground breaking research and more about simply ramping up volume production to the point where the market isn't supply constrained anymore. With the EV industry basically growing as fast as batteries can be produced, that might take a while. But as that happens, cost will continue to improve for manufacturers and that should start reflecting out in unit prices. The important thing to realize is that production cost and product price are two things.

In a supply constrained industry full of EV manufacturers desperate to buy any batteries at all, the profit margins are going to be insane for battery manufacturers for quite some time to come. So, we might not see lower prices until production volumes start meeting demand. That demand is for existing batteries at their existing prices. A better battery at a higher price would likely do equally well. However, new and improved batteries should drive the prices of the older ones down. So, we might end up with some commodity good enough batteries produced in very high volumes that will actually become affordable at some point.
ugh it's great that k3s exists, but frustrating that kube can't hit this target on its own

it seems like small clusters are not economical with vanilla kube. (I say this having frequently tried and failed to do this, but not having done napkin math on system pod budgets to prove it to myself generally). and this gets worse once you try to install any kind of plugins or monitoring tools.

I really wonder if there's a hole in the market for 'manage 5-10 containers with ingress on one or two smallish nodes'. Or if there's a hard core of users of alternatives like swarm mode. this guy https://mrkaran.dev/posts/home-server-nomad/ evolved his home lab from kube to nomad to terraformed pure docker over 3 years.

Re: "DAOs with currency is just feudalism redone" - I like the way you put this. There does seem to be this kind of land grab where giving ownership somehow changes everything.

Re: Self-hosted currencies in small communities - this one I'm less curious about so am wondering what you see in it. Would the 15,000 cryptocurrencies in existence today start to meet this criteria of different currencies across many different communities?

Re: Cryptocurrency with a built in decay rate - also interesting to think about. Kind of like having a digital tomato or something, it must be used before it molds. I've heard Dogecoin has a high issuance rate, I wonder if that would apply. My sense is it's hard to disconnect from everything else though, and if I had a bunch of rotting tomatoes I would convert them to something more stable (tomato sauce, or trade them for money) unless I had immediate utility for tomatoes.

Re: your above point about nocoiners having more of a disconnected view, agreed. Curious what you think of my comment here on this, speculating that as more of the world becomes a financial instrument, it gets harder and harder to be a nocoiner.

I do a lot of hunting, fishing, etc....there are a lot of misconceptions in this thread. The head of a snapping turtle will still try to bite things up to an hour after it is separated from its body. Its body will still grasp and wriggle and flinch and react to stimuli 30 minutes or longer even after it is decapitated. It reacts as if it was alive and I was to poke it or stab it or scald it.

Hopefully most people can agree that when the turtle is flinching 30 minutes after death, it is not actually "feeling pain", despite reacting the same way that a cow or a dog or does. The argument that "it behaves the same as a cow/dog/human" is flawed. Anybody who's butchered a chicken or a fish can tell you that they can react as if in pain even after they are reasonably considered to be dead.
They say if you feel like you're walking on eggshells, it means you're in an abusive relationship.

In the olden days of forums we had none of this nonsense. The community would agree a user was toxic and the mods would kick. It seemed like there were better controls, or that this was a better design.

Maybe because GitHub is so centralized, and every action so public it feels like there is some kind of global audience, so there are all these wasteful airs and graces? Idk
Absolutely nothing about this team’s behavior is mature, or reasoned.

This appears to be a big win for the rust community.
Not a single member of the Rust Core team is currently employed by Amazon IIRC, you're probably thinking about the lang/compiler folks.
The underlying issue is hinted at towards the end: "cryptocurrency, on the other hand, is a relatively recent development ... that may or may not survive". It is not just that it is being confused with something else, but that it is being confused with something else which (in the eyes of most people in tech, excluding cryptobros) has exceedingly negative connotations. It would be like having the same personal name as a mass murderer.
Whether it’s better or worse is unknowable.
The lack of backlighting is the one and only reason I went with Onxy Boox Note Air 2 over Remarkable2.

Based on my understanding of how all this "convergence" stuff is integrated into GTK/GNOME apps; by explicit integration of libhandy, I know this is a rather unsubstantial post because I didn't see anything illustrating GTK+ apps I actually care about working "convergently". i.e. there was no demonstration of GIMP working in a phone/tablet touch interface being dragged into a desktop monitor seamlessly.

So, what exactly am I supposed to be impressed by here? Maybe I need to revisit the post, since I did skim it pretty quickly.
Not sure I get it - why would working from home mean that you need to look after the children more? You can still use whatever other childcare arrangements you were using before, exactly as if you were in an office.

I’m completely ignorant on the topic, but there’s still a pretty big difference between taking something every 6 months as opposed to every day or week. If you take double the max dose of Tylenol every 6 months you’re probably not doing all that much liver damage. If you do it every day, not so much.
"it can't be done any other way" strikes me as pretty thin. Whereas we may not be able to conceive of another way at this point in time, it does no good to imagine that this condition will continue in perpetuity.

> How many containerization concepts do we need?

Nix and NixOS aren't containers (or VMs, etc.).

> If it were a legitimate abstraction layer, then wouldn't it have caused fewer problems in implementation? And wouldn't it have seemed more intuitive to Unix experts? Yes... Reinventing the wheel again.

The basic concept of Nix is (a) use the `--prefix` argument of ./configure scripts to keep things apart, and (b) use the `PATH` end var to choose what we want to run.

In comparison, containers are much more recent, require more invasive changes (i.e. support from the kernel), etc.

Personally, I like using containers to run binaries. Putting a whole Linux/Busybox installation inside one seems to defeat the point though...

> Yea true most restaurants use a simple QR leading to a PDF from their menu

Most of them in my area that didn't stop using QR entirely with general reopening, IME, have dynamic menus that track tables (the one app I am most familiar with has the table number as part of the QR code), order, tab, and payment processing, etc.

Even having contextual prompts for users to identify potential food allergens relevant to the order is in one app I’ve seen.

I really liked this Not Just Bikes video because it shows that it's not just a zero-sum bikes-vs-cars situation, intelligent urban design can be better for everyone!
Um, no. This article isn't how any of this works.

I think I see what's going on, from the article:

Ted Nordhaus is the founder and executive director of the Breakthrough Institute, a research centre focused on technological solutions to environmental challenges.

The first step in addressing global climate change is realizing that it's not the sort of problem that more tech or capitalism can solve, since they created it.

From a tech perspective, the scale of the problem is that the majority of people on Earth need to transition to things like solar and electric cars/bikes, redesign cities to lose the suburbs, not to mention fix the majority of the supply chain to be sustainable. It's tens of thousands of dollars per person, something like $10-100 trillion total. Wealthy countries never wanted to pay for that or lead on that, so here we are.

An alternative might be sustainability from a seventh generation standpoint, picking ourselves up by our bootstraps solarpunk fashion because world leaders are unlikely to act on this before it's too late (which it may already be). This is the approach I'm taking in my own life.

If we don't start doing something, coral reefs will be dead by 2050, remaining fisheries will collapse, there will be great refugee migrations and potentially WWIII. But it won't matter anyway since the remaining forest will also be gone and most large non-agriculture land animals will be extinct by 2100. I'd say this sounds alarmist, but I first heard about it as a kid in the 1980s when Reagan took the solar panels off the White House that Jimmy Carter had installed, and it's so much worse today, as we're seeing.

Environmental causes were traditionally led by a handful of people. All of the remaining wildernesses left in the US got there because someone sacrificed years of their life organizing, fundraising and waging legal battles against resource extractors and the government. This was never ideal, but if it weren't for that, it would all be gone today.

Don't let articles like this distract you from your personal contribution.

The worst part is that there is already another word for cryptocurrency. Blockchain. It has the same number of syllables as "crypto" and isn't ambiguous.

The cynic in me says they did it on purpose, because it's widely agreed by non-morons that cryptography is good and important and people wanted to associate their controversial shitcoins with that good and important thing.
If programmers would just toughen up and stop creating new tooling at every minor inconvenience, we wouldn't have the bloat that make JS a laughingstock.

Python doesn't have the problem as much. It does to an extent, though it's getting better with type hinting nowadays.

I do prefer working with typescript than with python but I still rather work with Python than with django templates which are way worse.
Depending on what that sentence is, it doesn’t sound contradictory.

I considered it more as it’s own one set of characters (in the same way that kanji and Roman letters are their own)

A difference here is that while Japanese words can correctly be written as either hiragana or katakana, the idiomatic way is to mix them depending on the word (and occasionally context).

Bopomofo is its own writing system and doesn’t really get mixed with, say, pinyin.

There’s nothing to 1-to-1 map like with kana.
Anyone else see this technique a few times in heist movies? I always knew it could be done, but having a blogpost detailing how to do this is is pretty cool.
Google Cloud Run is so underrated. The only thing you absolutely need to know to deploy is to use the port assigned via the environmental variable Run provides your container and just be aware that your container is stateless. Everything else is up to you. Like you point out, it's completely portable in a way that rarely anything on AWS is.

I think the core concept of using `<>`-delimited tags to group items is sound for config and similar human-writable files. I.e. XML-like markup.

This means that XML subsets are actually pretty decent. Basically the subset of:

- `<!-- ... -->` comments

- `<foo>...</foo>` and `<foo/>` tags

- `&gt;` and similar entities (basically, just the XML-builtin ones, no custom declarations)

- optionally: `<?xml ... ?>` tag at the start (just for compatibility)

- optionally: `<![CDATA[...]]>` (where required for the application)

- optionally: `<foo:bar/>` namespaces (but without needing to declare them like in XML; essentially, just adding ':' as a permitted character)

If I were to extend it, I'd probably also add HTML-like value-less parameters, like `<input readonly/>`. I'd also add an API to create custom entities (but no support within the file itself), to make it more adaptable to specific use-cases.

And this is it. The big issue with XML is all the complexities of DTDs and being able to declare new entities, etc. It was also woefully overused at some point, in not-really-XML ways --- such as by XMPP (which would work much better as a binary protocol).

---

I agree on YAML, by the way. It tries to do too much, and ends up being very unintuitive (here's one for you: what are the various ways of having a multiline string?).
It doesn't help that two different parsers won't generally agree on all the details of the format.

I think TOML (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) is a good compromise, if you're looking for something in a similar JSONy-but-human-writable vein.

It's a desktop OS. If you connect an external monitor, you can use any desktop software, including GIMP. Works fine on my Pinephone with phosh.
In the states that use benchmarks similar to what doctors are suggesting HHS use instead of the agency's current proposal --such as New York and New Jersey — the report found costs rising. New York, for example, has a "baseball-style" system in which the arbiter chooses between the offers presented by the provider and the insurer, although the arbiter is told to consider the offer closest to the 80th percentile of charges. "Since the amount providers charge is typically much higher than the actual negotiated rate, this approach risks leading to significantly higher overall costs," the report finds. In New Jersey, billed charges or "usual and customary" rates are considered.

"When the arbitration process is wide open, no boundaries, at the end of the day health care costs go up, not down," Becerra says of the methods doctors prefer. "We want costs to go down. And so we want to set up a system that helps provide the guideposts to keep us efficient, transparent and cost-effective."

The system chosen by the Biden administration is expected to push insurance premiums down by 0.5% to 1%, the Congressional Budget Office estimates.
