> People said I was playing wrong but I intuitively felt like this would give a lot higher payoffs than just straight play with no bluffs.

No winning players nowadays would advocate for a strategy that doesn't involve bluffing.

Not to be harsh, but just to point it out for any novices who might be seduced by the simplicity of what you propose: the "strategy" you outline is simply nonsense and would not be winning in the long run even vs a fairly weak field. Maybe vs the level of play in the pre-solver world it did okay (though I doubt it would win except vs the very weakest fields), but today it would simply be burning money, even at microstakes.

Some of the heuristics you describe work in some situations, but you make no mention of accounting for other players positions, other players ranges, or the cards on the board; it is simply based on your hand and your perception of the player populations tendencies (which have changed dramatically since the pre-solver days). Ignoring the majority of the publicly available information in a given hand, in this game of incomplete information, is a grave strategic mistake.
Hi

Are you Mastodon users? Well, you'll probably like to use this.

Introducing TootShot: A beautiful way to share your toots.

With this simple tool, you can generate screenshots of your posts in Mastodon, including customization options: size, padding, gradient and dark mode. Copy or download your toot as image and share it with your community.

This product has been made in less than 24 hours, to test the idea and concept. I'd be happy to get your feedback to improve it. Let me know what you think, in the comments.

Thanks!
This comment section has some major boomer energy. Anyway, my take on this is different from the author's. He cites the following as (anec)data:

1) According to MRC Data, old songs now represent 70% of the market share

2) The 200 most popular tracks now account for less than 5% of total streams.

3) The current list of most downloaded tracks on iTunes includes CCR and The Police etc.

Not going to touch 1), because I don't feel like going hunting for that data. But a single data point is useless. Let's see the trend, please.

2) has nothing to do with old versus new. The average music consumer today has so many music discovery avenues open to them on a level that is completely unprecedented. Should we really be surprised that people are listening less and less to the top 200 songs when the sheer catalog of music accessible to (and actually discoverable by) them has grown by orders of magnitude in the last 10 years? This data point tells us nothing about old versus new, because there's so much new music that is never going to hit top 200 that people can find and easily listen to now.

3) I mean, really, are you surprised? You're looking at music people bought on iTunes. _Of course_ that would biased towards people old enough to actually pay money for tracks. This is equivalent to trying to figure out the most popular porn categories by looking at DVD rental data, ignoring the fact that 99.99% of porn consumption has moved to online streaming platforms..
Reading comprehension. You neglected to pay attention to most of my comment.

Who is forcing you work a mind-numbing job?

Do you want everyone else to pay for you to do nothing? Do what you want, but don't expect others to donate what they've earned to your finger painting or whatever it is you think you should do to be fulfilled daily. This idea that everyone will just suddenly become creative happy geniuses as soon as "mind-numbing" work is alleviated is false.

What I've found is even worse: on medium-size personal projects I inevitably pass the wrong type to a function (or refactor and forget to change a call somewhere). Generally it does not fail until somewhere else, which relies on it being a certain type. So even though I know what my functions should take, I still spend a bunch of time tracking down the problems, which involves a printing out a lot of stuff because the error happened outside the current call stack. This is something a static type system would just prevent for me, and I've basically decided that anything beyond really simple stuff is actually faster for me to write in a statically typed language. (Examples in the past are a parser for a static site generator with a mostly Turing-complete language, and 3D model generators)

The declining TV audience for the Grammy show underscores this shift.

The declining TV audience is not just a Grammy issue, it's affecting all kinds of live awards shows, including the Oscars, as well as broadcast/cable television in general which has been hammered by shifting audience preferences and viewing habits (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/03/17/cable-and-s...).

The author should take a look at the social media/YouTube followings many new artists have, and not just the superstars. That's where the engagement is taking place.
They make it incredibly difficult to manage domains. DNS is managed via a third party like enom. Enom itself just had an outage recently that affected all G Suite users [0]. Transferring your domain to another registrar is opaque to say the least. Arguably, these things, in combination, could be considered a dark pattern.

The one thing I wish were easier would be breaking a single commit into two commits.

Edit: to be clear, I know it's possible by using git reset... but I'd much rather have something like git add -i that interactively shifts changes from the commit itself and moves them into working directory-only changes.

Great comment under the article:

"So, the CEO has grossly mismanaged just about everything the last year, their stock plummets, and he's going to get $300,000,000? Yeah that sounds just about right these days."
Your writing style is entertaining and inspiring.

i'd love to read more of your work so i say do it! if not, rhoades.lorenzo@gmail.com and i promise not to share them ;)
This is new to me, thanks.

Do you know how that supports use cases like if someone wants to change their flight from a hotel computer? I wouldn't want to expose a "master password" to a computer I didn't trust.
When a layman is complaining about Auto-Tune, they're almost always referring to the super-corrected version where a voice will snap to the tonal "gridlines" perfectly.

Whatever you can glean from that complaint (that they don't know about the intricacies of music production) isn't really a counter to that. I still think that overly-quantized tones from the vocals sounds like shit.

Kind of like a digitally altered image "being photoshopped" is a valid phrase, even when GIMP or some other software was actually used.
I'm not convinced the arguments in this article are really the cause. We're in an era where musicians have to build a following by means other than their music.

I'm just not sure how an aspiring musician would connect and build a young audience outside of social media. I doubt they could consistently build engagement in a streaming platform alone, it's just too hard. They're just one recording along with decades of other recordings.

The social media era hasn't really included musicians very well. I can't really think of a single case where I discovered music via social media. And I'm not even sure how I'd go about finding it. A lot of this is just that the music industry itself is kind of small and insignificant to big tech. And it's not like any of these platforms want to send people to streamers like Spotify or Apple Music.
Indeed. And even if you don't involve fractions, and multiply with either 0 or 1, the output won't be a larger number.
Man, I'm glad to see someone stepping up to police the language in this thread. It's really concerning that people use a word like "prosecute" without adorning it with its full dictionary definition, just in case someone (other than you of course) might get confused.
I think most laypeople's definition of autotune would be "that thing in every T-Pain song" or maybe "that thing that Cher did"[1]

It's a very distinctive sound, horrendously overused and occupies a completely separate area in most people's minds than pitch tweaking.

Francois Chollet has started this thread on twitter where he suggests that the product of web3 is money.

This makes me want to consider switching away as they know will have monetize so who knows how they will mess with me in the future. Any options out there that supports the same range of clients and are privately held ?

I just finished "Flying Blind", describing how the Boeing engineering and oversight culture was destroyed, and I know how.

Wait, people have enough sex with enough different people to make this worthwhile? Damn, I'm missing out.
There's a lot going on to kill new music. Competition for distribution is hard because yeah, every year since 1973 (when the more bass, more full range style of recording became the norm), the catalog of songs people love gets bigger. At the same time, there isn't the kind of universal distribution that existed prior to the late 90s where MTV and radio drive the playlist. Now Youtube, iTunes, and Spotify's music's algorithm drive discovery... Throw in all-inclusive subscriptions and I can listen to my favorites all the time... and not have to turn on the radio ever and hear anything new. So what do you do?

One, pull a Weezer and release a lot of covers of favorites. Remake Toto's Africa... etc... Do this, you give up the composer's royalty but you sneak in the playlists.

The other solution is to focus on an increasingly small market for new music which seems to be less and less appealing to the larger market or genres, but appeals more and more to people who like "new music".

A lot of people are pointing out that a lot of new music is autotune or genre bending stuff that is kind of hard to love. Music has always been full of stuff made to ride a trend, or enabled by new instruments or new tech. It's the search spam of music. It catches on for a minute. Some of it sticks and becomes part of "the catalog".
Comcast just needs to rotate the ID in the _mta-sts.comcast.net TXT record. That will cause sending mail servers to download the new policy.
At some point in my 20-year career, I've realized there isn't a tight coupling of the work you do when it comes to effort, time, and overall impact and the pay that you receive.

I've been on both ends where I worked extra hard and didn't get anything out of it, and I've done barely anything and got paid and management was happy. There's a kind of cognitive dissonance you encounter if you have this notion of "fairness" when it comes to work done and reward earned. It feels like you're cheating someone if you don't do enough work, but then you can do a whole bunch of work and it becomes meaningless if someone up in the management chain decides on a whim that your project isn't essential.

This story does sound truthful to me because there are so many things we pay for because we don't know what goes into it and we're happy to be ignorant of what goes into it, so long as it gets done. You're paying for the security of knowing the job will be done. As others have said in the posts here, I also would feel unfulfilled doing something like this because there's still an inherent need many of us have to do something productive regularly.
Still much larger.

This is all true, but my take would be that you can't do worse than users will do with a password prompt. By all means, leave an option for fussy users to provide their own.
This doesn't make much sense to me. The point of a passphrase is to be readable/writeable by a human. If you don't need that, you just want a binary key (which can be base64 encoded/decoded to be read/written by a human).

Using all utf-8 characters seems like it combines the downsides of both of these (not really human readable/writeable but also not using the full key space).
The rant is probably around convenience. How hard is it to offer one-click migration of your data from one account to the other? I guess pretty hard, since they don't support it.

My example is Google Play Music, which they migrated to Youtube Music. They probably offered to merge accounts at the time, I don't remember, but I ended up with two Youtube accounts with different playlists that I couldn't merge or transfer data easily. I had to do an annoying dance to recreate my playlists from one account in the other.
Your "one password" is part of the encryption key for your 1Password vaults; your passwords and sensitive information stored in the vault is encrypted before it hits 1Password's cloud.

Exfiltrators would need your master password to get in.

> We know our mRNA vaccines are safe and they worked great against Delta.

Yes and no. We also knew that the mRNA vaccine’s neutralizing antibodies were something like 8x less effective against delta, but there was still enough left in the oomph budget to work. At least initially (at some point, your immune system wanes and that 8x less might become a bigger issue).

Moderna was working on a spike-specific booster toward the original South African variant (I guess because it’s spike protein was sufficiently different to worry), but I think it died off because delta took over.

I'm assuming GP does not mean not any kind of attempt to produce nice sounding vocals. The are referring vocal tracks that don't really sound like human voices anymore, but like robot/android voices.

I just listened to the current top 5 pop songs, and 3 of them would definitely fall in that category:

- Heat Waves, Glass Animals

- Need to Know, Doja Cat

- Stay, The Kid Laroi and Justin Beiber

Happily the #1, Adele's Easy on Me, has a very beautiful, human-sounding vocal track.

I have a single text file, structured by category. Individual items within categories are loosely ordered by the amount of time I estimate they will take, but if a task that might take longer has a higher priority, it would still go above a smaller task with regular priority.

One old-fashioned option seems to be missing here (so far). My dad bought a piece of property, a set of books and a plan, and took out a loan for materials.

> Sure. You can put in a day of work to self host or write your own analytics solution.

> But this already puts you at a disadvantage. Because of the time you have to invest and the sub par solutions. Google Analytics is simply better than the alternatives.

I am entirely in favour of requiring SaaS creators to put in a day of work if they want to analyze their users' information without violating their privacy, and forbidding them from saying "fuck it I can't be bothered, just send everything to Google, it's easier".

If being able to see our aggregate sexual orientations from Facebook Analytics is truly such a huge competitive advantage, by all means, explain in your sign-up page why it's in your customer's best interest to allow those tracking pixel and get their explicit consent.

Alright, I'll drop the sarcasm and state my claim outright: if you're creating an actually valuable and worthwhile product, using privacy-respectful tools and practices isn't going to kill your dreams. Not even close.

If you're creating another useless listicle page or shady dating app or would-be "viral" attention black hole, such that its business model fails if you can't track and profile hapless visitors or sell their data, then I'm glad you won't be able to start such a business in my country, and if you're abroad I hope you geoblock my country as well.
No I’m not. But version 7.8.7 is not that old.

Previously it was one license per user per platform. I’ve bought 1Password at least 3 times and pointed them to the same vault. Can’t remember if they had paid upgrades.

If you are not inclined to host your own server, it really doesn’t seem clear to me to migrate away. Only the single and 2 user free licence and the single premium license for bitwarden is a clear winner. For families it’s not much cheaper.

I’m not even opposed to paying. I’ve bought 1P a few times. And I’d pay for another service. I think it’s the fact that they are forcing the choice that gives me a bag taste in my mouth. But this is irrational if my 2nd choice is to pay bitwarden a similar amount of money for a family subscription.

“Autotuned” doesn’t necessarily mean the T-Pain effect, it can be used in a quasi-imperceptible way. Most mainstream music today uses it.

Whether GP’s thesis has merit, I have no idea.
Yes, having a repl is a superpower. But soon enough you learn which things will find you the most bugs, so you start making a menu out of them. Teleporting to levels, spawning mobs, etc.

In this case they were debugging the render, to fix problems that result in game’s own graphics being unusable. So they added their own system on top, so that they can inspect the data being sent to the gpu, turn on wireframes, etc. It’s a delightful look at what all of computing is going to look like in a thousand years, with layer upon layer of tooling as new generations of engineers adapt older programs to work on new systems.

Why focus on the argument of “Engineering is Mathematical” and ignore “Engineering Uses Scientific Knowledge to Solve Problems?” I’m not heavily invested in the outcome I just found it curious to only focus on mathematical usage as that’s easy to apply to software.
1. `git rebase -i` to the commit before the one you want to split

2. mark the commit you want to split as an `edit`

3. remove the file(s) you want to edit from the index so that it's part of your working tree

4. use `git add -p` to stage the hunks you want in the first commit (assuming you want to split commits in a single file) or just commit the files you want in the first commit first, second commit second.

There is so much amazing new music dropping constantly I can't even keep up.

But I don't use Dropbox any more.
