Apple Music isn't as library-focused as I would like it to be. Or perhaps the better term for what I'm talking about is "album-focused." I hate that when I add a playlist to my library, every single track in that playlist causes its album to show up in the Albums list and that artist to show up in the Artists list. This makes the Artists list essentially useless for browsing, because there are hundreds of artists that I've never heard of because they had a single track in some playlist that I added to my library. I can understand why it works this way, but boy is it frustrating. I would love to have a manually-curated set of albums (viewable by album name or by artist) totally separate from the ability to add playlists to my library.
> It would be only barely more forgivable if I were to pass off a forgotten book of Mark Twain's as my own.

I'd argue that this is vastly more forgivable than doing the same to a just-published work. They're both equally plagiaristic, but you're not denying Twain a buck.

> It's just that evidently those monopoly profits are no longer needed to stimulate that effort — if they ever were.

I think it's required to stimulate the effort. Why record a song, write a book, make a film, if Amazon is just going to slap their name on it and take 100% of the proceeds leaving you no way to recoup your investment?

Some people will do it for love, but you'll have zero chance of making a living off it.

It's rare that an extreme response leads to a reasonable result. I'm fine with the original 12+12 years.

And I agree that DRM is BS, but that's separate.
I respect that AoC gets very difficult and is for an audience that isn’t me.

But I love the format and what I’d enjoy is a similar project where the difficulty doesn’t really increase, but each day is a different problem domain. Breadth not depth.

For example, perhaps we start with some data processing from a file. Then answer some basic statistics question about the data. Then maybe some basic signal processing. We form an image. We transform the image. We play the image as audio. We break it into packets of some sort then share it on a “network.” We reassemble it. We build a state machine and pass it the reassembled data in some way. We discover some new output.

Etc. etc. culminating with some fun discovery that inside that original data was a secret code or whatever.

And instead of an intense challenge, we’ve just had a fun walk through an intro to two dozen subdomains of CS/sweng. You may not have immediately known the answer to each puzzle but you never felt lost.
A decade seems like an appropriate amount of time for a language to mature and take off. Ruby was very niche for 10 years until rails came out. Rust now seems to be spreading pretty steadily and smaller companies are trying it out.

Maybe you're right, it's difficult to judge from that web page. It depends a lot on how they intend to carry out the funding process and the web page doesn't say much about it. I assumed it's something like Patreon, which works well for some people, I've heard.
Denigma works very poorly on short code– especially single lines. It warns you.

It is designed for explaining real-world code in context, and performs poorly on esoteric examples.

Yes indeed! All it would take is a single line of CSS somewhere applying to the copy text:

max-width: 50em

Wikipedia has this quirk as well though, where if you have a large monitor, you can end up with ridiculously long lines that are impossible to read.
ImageMagick was developed by John Cristy at DuPont in 1987 and release in 1990. Your statement is not only false, even it it wasn't, mentioning Linux in relation to ImageMagick is a non-sequitor. Maybe you should try other things.

yup! When you're in the address entry screen where you spin the wheel to spell out something, try drawing letters with your finger. A Wacom-style depiction of what you drew will appear on the screen.

Density is important when comparing two spheres of the same mass.

Where frontal volume is determined by mass and density for a sphere.

So, two speheres with the same mass, but different densities will have different drag forces.
A century ago, buildings were quite dangerous, and likely to kill you in all sorts of situations. Wood burns, and concrete and brick don't. Clearly wood is an "unsafe material". But just changing the material didn't result in safer buildings. Buildings made of brick and concrete still killed people.

It turns out that there are a lot of factors that go into building safety. The material is one vulnerability, sure. But there's also the connection method and strength, the calculated loads, shear forces, wind, earthquakes, egress, and a billion other considerations.

What resulted in better building safety was the development of building codes. Even using flammable building materials, people adapted the way they built so that the end result was much safer than before. If you told a builder you'd never buy a wooden home because wood is "unsafe", they'd laugh at you - and then sell you a bunch of "inflammable" crap you don't need.
I think it's discussed only where it's considered "on-topic". In my experience, many politcal articles are quickly removed as off-topic unless there's some technological bend to it. For example, politics in a thread about Julia 1.7 release would be "off-topic", politics in a thread about net neutrality might be on-topic but only up to a certain degree.
You know what scares me? The rise of learned helplessness and its pseudo-enlightened relative, "we should do nothing because anything we do could go wrong."

Totally. There should be a better way to index SO.

Firefox supports CSS subgrid. I wish Chrome did, since it would solve some layout problems I have.
I don't think there's the exponential dependence they claim. I think a more correct derivation would look like this:

Let's suppose that we place a 1 g mass at 4 ly. How does this affect the internal dynamics of a helium balloon? The relevant change is the tidal acceleration induced by the 1 g mass:

a_tide ~ GMl/r^3

where l is the mean free path in the balloon (l ~ 1 / n sigma), where n is the number density and sigma is the cross section of a helium atom. At room temperature, we have l ~ 4 x 10^-5 m.

Now, we want to calculate the change in angle induced by the tidal force across a single mean free path. This is (ignoring factors of order unity)

delta phi ~ delta x / l ~ al / v^2

Noting that the mean velocity is v ~ sqrt(kT / m_He), and substituting in the tidal acceleration, we have

delta phi ~ GMml^2 / kTr^3

Given these numbers this gives us

delta phi ~ 10^-78

At this point it should be pretty clear that this is not going to be a big effect. But let's see how long we would need to follow these interactions until the delta phi had built up to be large enough that a collision that would have happened doesn't. This is:

phi_crit ~ r_He / l ~ 10^-6

Now, I think a critical error that the author made is in assuming that the delta phi's build up exponentially. There is a non-linear dependence here, but I don't think it's as fast as described. Consider, for example, an atom bouncing head-on between two stationary atoms. Classically, the atom would continue indefinitely. How long would it be before an atom perturbed by delta phi would miss one of the stationary atoms entirely? There will be a linear increase in delta phi over time, along with a non-linear increase of order ~y / r_He where y is the vertical displacement. But this non-linearity is essentially a cosine, which is very close to zero initially. So the non-linear term will be essentially irrelevant until the linear term has grown to be large enough (i.e., of order unity) that the non-linear cosine term can take over. So it will require of order 10^78 collisions, which given the velocity of the atom of ~1000 m/s, means that it will take ~10^68 years for the atom to miss.

Now, due to other non-linearities in the system it would probably in practice be much less than this. But it would certainly be nowhere close to the few microseconds claimed by the author.
>they would have shown the same level of corruption

Would have? Meaning the emails were not released?

>colluded with Russians

>the same level of corruption

>shady business dealing

>tainted the waters so greatly with politics

>their corruption in Ukraine

These are all perfectly generic accusations. My point is, you need a sound bite or slogan that is not generic. That evokes something specific, and a context. If you don't care, why bother saying anything?

>The playbook is accuse your opponents of your crimes.

Yes, it is. How do you, and how should we, tell the difference between two sides accusing each other in similar terms?

> Men have nipples.

Just sayin', that has little to do with "remove stuff that does't hurt", but the fact that there is very little difference between men and women besides sex steroid levels. In particular, women do not have any genes men don't. The Y-chromosome adds the tiniest modification to gonadal development in embryos and that's it; androgens do the rest. With the right hormone levels, men can develop fully functional breasts; without estrogens, women don't.

For those who don't understand what the website is about:

Square (and other related companies like Tidal, CashApp, Spiral and TBD54566975, not exactly subsidiaries but sibling companies under a holding company) is changing their name to Block, as in blockchain, as they seem to be going more towards cryptocurrency.

It's similar to Facebook changing their name to Meta for wanting to create a "metaverse," analogously Square is also changing their name.

Interesting to see that Jack Dorsey (who is CEO of Square and until recently was CEO of Twitter as well) probably left Twitter to focus more on Block.
Not only that, it keeps showing me the same posts over and over. Just because I liked something months ago, doesn't mean I want to see it every week
I think the GP just hasn't discovered the magic of the "minimum billable increment" yet. Lawyers love this trick! Customer wants you to itemize the bill? No problem - it comes with a 15 minute minimum billable increment. The more demanding/PITA the client is, the longer the minimum.

Send me a text a minute after I've finished working for the day to check on the status and it takes me a minute to read and reply? No problem, I just billed the client for 15 minutes. Takes them 15 minutes to come up with and send a response that I need to respond to ASAP? Another 15 minutes billed. Want me to spend 3 minutes at the end of the day itemizing the bill? Perfect, that's another 15 minutes billed!

The more granular the itemizing, the more opportunity to shove the minimum billable increment in their face. Called me for a two minute chat while I'm in the zone on their project? Gotta itemize it! 15 minutes billed and I restart the work (out of the zone) at the top of the next interval.

Image magick isn't something you use frequently and quickly like changing directories or moving a file. A longer more descriptive name is better here. Also easier to speak. Telling someone to write "compare" is easier than "C-M-P"
It has been fascinating to watch the corporate cryptocurrency world try so hard to project the fringe, edgy, anti-corporate nature of cryptocurrencies that attracted so many in the first place.

All of these corporate cryptocurrency pushes have strong "How do you do, fellow children?" vibes.

But the funny part is a lot of the crypto people are eating it right up, mostly because they have to accept any and all big business investment in the crypto space to further pump their own assets.
That's because it's generally hard to build enough volume in the abs for them to show, given that fat tends to store in the belly, covering them. As such it's often said that you get abs in the kitchen rather than in the gym, but that's about a low calorie diet.

What the post above talks about is about taking enough calories and protein for you to be able to build muscle, normal diets very rarely include enough to build muscle optimally and it can be harder to actually eat enough than to lift enough.

I guess with that statement ~12 could be the max with the average being 8. That feels like misleading math and makes the COVID decrease to 8 not make sense.

With LSM (leveldb, rocksdb) its just a different tradeoff.
LSM Write are faster than b-tree (half write amplification)
while B-tree read are faster than LSM.

Reason is because with a warm cache B-tree requires at most one disk read per query since internal nodes will be in cache but for LSM you need one Read per Level.

This advantage disappear if you don't have enough memory to cache all internal nodes.

Another advantage with LSM is it only does half the space amplification as a B-tree.
This is because all level except the top level contain long run of sorted data that compress very well. In a b-tree page are small and most page are not full and you need to store metadata in each page.

Hi,

I’m not sure if this solves your issue but you can uncheck ‘add songs to library’ then only songs/albums that you actually add to your library show up and others only live in playlists!
Good on you for editing your comment. I was about to say you probably shouldn't say that :-) I just checked out Denigma, and it's quite wonderful actually. I may give it a try - the pricing is pretty good, less than a cup of coffee where I'm at.

Nice job.
isn't "sort name" exactly what you're looking for? I would assume it's the title of the track (or file) but with "the" and the like stripped out.
> You sound like someone who has never worked a minimum wage job

Nah. He sounds like someone with class and privilege who's worked a minimum wage job.

See, a minimum wage job for someone who is a privileged youth-- is a good way to learn the last little bit of organization, focus, "eye on the ball", working with a supervisor, attention to detail skills-- that will serve them the rest of their life. It's a great skill building opportunity.

For someone who's been stuck in it 3 years--- well, it's exhausted all of its value in those respects by this point.

People who are scared of the minimum wage going up are often worried that it's going to squeeze out kids from getting these first work experiences. And it's a valid concern. But the people who spend their lives stuck in those jobs are invisible to them.

I personally favor shortening the work week because I think it will increase the compensation associated with low skill labor; provide additional incentives for employers to ramp people into higher skill positions; and leave room for kids in low skill jobs.
The backslash as path separator didn't come from CP/M (it also didn't have directories at the time). The forward slash couldn't be used because it was already heavily used for command-line switches in DOS 1.0 applications. That choice was likely copied from DEC TOPS-10 which many Microsoft employees would have been using.

Microsoft apparently wanted to break compatibility and use the forward slash, and even coded for the possibility by making the switch character configurable in the CONFIG.SYS of DOS 2.0, but IBM was against it.

It’s interesting comparing Facebook to others; Facebook sought to leave their main brand behind while others generally seek to keep brand equity.

Google => Alphabet

Square => Block

Facebook => Meta ??

For Facebook they were dealing with the opposite, trying to shift past a torrent of negative press, the move to an Abstract name has been highly effective in turning down the (short term) negative press heat. Yes they announced new things but arguably it was critical timing from a PR perspective.
