To me it’s like there is nothing new anymore.

Sure, we still have good tracks here and there. Good artists are still there but it’s pretty hard to compose something « new » without being « strange ».

It’s mostly impossible to do better than the masters of your musical genre because most genres exists for more than 60, sometimes 100 years so, statically speaking, they may have been mastered by one or multiple artists since then.

Even if an artist managed to be greater (for what it could mean) than his masters, well, he could never have the advantage of novelty.

I don’t think it’s an issue (except maybe for the industry), after all, there is already enough music to enjoy an entire life, and still pretty good new artists.
Thanks, I'd found the first edition a really good book when I was early in my security career many years ago, I shall have to check the 2020 edition!
If you are peeling the potatoes and have a bit of whole-hearted potato peeling and then immediately go off "wow, I was really focused there, what Zen potato peeling!" for a minute, well, those thoughts are not Zen spirituality. It's a common problem with reading or listening to stories about whole-hearted activity - one fills up with "Zen thoughts" for a while.
Given how extremely hidden they've made the perpetual license option, I'm honestly surprised it's 30:1. That seems to be a sign of "people want this bad enough that they go hunting for it for quite a while".

It might very well be the DAC doing the work then, or maybe the placebo effect is just making me pay more attention to music I first heard years ago and I'm picking up more :)

Thanks for the information though, I'll do some A/B testing to see if it makes any difference to me.
so ixnay to version 8 then. are you for sure that there's no version 7 point upgrade that's broken like that?

my original license was 1password 3 (teams edition or something like that?) i believe, which i'd been upgrading all along. too bad they'll lose all this recurring revenue, even if it's not strictly as uniform and regular as subscriptions.
The way that the value floats through the system is checked statically, and the program can (and should) be designed so that the value with the appropriate type cannot be constructed unsafely.

If you need to statically check the construction of values in Haskell, there are things like refinement types[0].

I have no idea. The scope of music seems so fragmented today. It's so big now.

People can burrow into a specific small set of bands and music styles and never ever need to move outside of it now.

It's seems quaint that 20 years ago my primary source of new music was SNL and late shows.

Now, spotify/pandora will give you entry to exactly what you want and keep giving it to you, forver.
I'm not saying the vaccines are worthless, I'm saying there is a trend of public figures gaslighting and making excuses for their ineffectiveness against Omicron, by redefining commonly accepted notions of what a vaccine is intended to do and pretending our goal all along was to merely prevent severe disease. The goal, as we've seen with past mass vaccination campaigns that worked, should be to stop the spread. Period. We need new vaccines, not fourth or fifth shots of the same thing.

If the singer is somewhat good (so that the correction is small) and it's applied well, you have no chance. Even musicians will have a hard time.

But you can definitely notice it in sum - everything sounds pitch-perfect and all the little misses, which might be stylistic in and by itself [0], just go missing.

[0] A good sound engineer will of course know when not to use it, but the unintentional characteristics go missing.
Of course. We're talking about volumes of streaming. Surely most of it is mass-consumption stuff, isn't it? Niches barely register when it comes down to the big players making a profit.
And if you have PR comments/commits you do this everytime? Just squash
set on his goals kanye
I agree with this sentiment and it feels right to me personally but I think to know how much consumption is changing we'd benefit from seeing this broken out by age demographics. If the teens are listening to older music at the same rate as the late 30s/40s then that is certainly a problem for the music industry. Otherwise this might just be driven by the streaming adoption. We couldn't quantify this stuff before when everyone was listening to music on CDs, mp3s etc.
The bootlicking side. There is only two options: a) encrypted communication that cannot be read by anyone except the software client and the peers communicating enforced by cryptography, and b) cleartext, cops and death squads.

Sort of... The federal government passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act[1], showing they did care. Although they don't directly enforce drinking age mins, the carrot and the stick approach was used.

The process of buying a house is going to be relatively similar regardless of your age.

It starts by find a property that you like. You can do this in a variety of ways including using a realtor, looking through MLS listings on your own and working with the seller's realtor, looking through "For sale by owner" listings, etc."

As part of this, you can also work with mortgage lenders to do a pre-qualification. This process is basically where they, sometimes, will pull a credit report, get some info from you on your income and your estimated down payment, and tell you what they believe the price range of home you can qualify for will be. This can vary based on the mortgage program that you will end up using, as programs like FHA loans or first-time home-buyer loans might allow you to provide a smaller down payment. Keep in mind, though, that you will need to put some money down. I believe the lowest is 3 or 3.5% on an FHA loan. Typically anything under 20% will require some sort of mortgage insurance, whether it be FHA or private just depends on the loan program.

Once you have found a home you like you will submit an offer. There are many ways to go about this and the negotiations you and the seller get into are going to depend on you both and your associated willingness to negotiate. The market right now is relatively tight, so you cannot always count on the ability to submit or receive a counter offer or two.

Once you have an accepted offer you will work with the mortgage company to submit the necessary documents for mortgage approval, an appraisal will most likely be done, title work gets ordered, you will need to establish homeowners (also called Hazard) insurance, flood insurance if you are in a flood zone, etc. You may also need to work with a realtor and/or attorney to do things like get a survey or deal with some state-specific items like smoke certs, certification of occupancy, etc.

After you have a mortgage approval, you will typically do a final walkthrough of the property on or near the day of your closing and then you sign the documents and hand over the check or wired funds to cover the remaining closing costs/down payment.

Then it's time to move in.

That can sound complicated, but finding a good realtor, mortgage company, and/or attorney can help you walk through it pretty easily. There are things that will vary, but that's the general process for buying a house with a mortgage and down payment.
Have you listened to the radio? To background music at the mall (ha ha). Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Soft Rock, almost nothing from the last 30 years. It is weird to be 50+ years out of college, and have a choice between talk radio, religion, and college music while driving.
What does this practically mean?

I can't find discussion about this on the internet.

Well, the movie/app purchase story is the same everywhere. You don't buy anything, merely rent it under extremely restrictive conditions.
I'm guessing folks are reading that as endorsement or sha256 over bcrypt. In context with the above post, this is sha256 over truncation.
After learning about fixup and squash commits, I started typing `git rebase -i --autosquash` so frequently that I made an alias for it. It has totally changed the way that I work. You get to have the best of both worlds; commit early, commit often but then also having nice and tidy PR's and histories.
But thats a good thing.
Sorry, but why is “total album consumption” the metric here? The vast majority of people listening to contemporary music don’t have the attention spans for full albums (I include myself here).
There's another explanation why old music's share of total music is growing: old farts like myself and older are letting go of their CD and vinyl habits and have totally converted to streaming.

I won't argue that streaming is totally transforming the music industry but whining about it won't change a thing. Make something people want to hear or shut up.
Honestly I think this is just society en masse is suffering from nostalgia for novelty. Listening to music now is so easy. It used to be you'd have to listen to hours to make a mixtape on the radio. The artists capitalizing on the novelty that's left (live production, remix's, mashups) are the ones that are making money.
Speaking for myself, once i had access to spotify, and basically every bit of pop music that ever came out post WW2, I stopped listening to newish music and started listening to all the artists my favorite artists were ripping off.
Squashing commits is something lazy people do! :P
Thank you so much for pointing out upcoming Android support! That's a huge factor for me.

Which of those downloads is an Android app? I didn't see an APK, which is usually how they come.

Edit: Nevermind. I see they link to the nightly release where a working version can be obtained[0]. Running it now.

The occupancy rates in London even now are awful. Drive past during a workday on a bypass and see empty office floors that were once all occupied.

Heck in West London the biggest office complex has 20-30% occupancy rates if that. The office at least as recent has been dead.
I'm with you on autotune. It's an effect that was briefly musically interesting and then almost immediately massively overused. I can't stand the sound of it now.

I entirely disagree on music dying, though. The bland stuff that washes over people is made to be bland and wash over people. You don't have to listen to it.

We're living in a golden age of music production if anything, with every conceivable taste catered to. The challenges are on the consumption side: finding the music you like and forming a meaningful relationship with it can be challenging in a time of such excess.
I just moved to SpeedQueen (awne92sp113tw01) washer/dryer combo and the best way I could describe the difference between them and the old set (Samsung, relatively new but rather abused) is that the SpeedQueen uses one "low efficiency wash" to wash what the Samsung set would take two.

The motor isn't any louder. The digital controls are warranted for 25 years. The motor is super strong (water leaving the drum on the spin cycle is way more powerful than the old set).

My wife seems to approve (I don't think she cared as much as I do). Her friends are seem to be aware/care, however.
> The declining TV audience for the Grammy show underscores this shift.

Rick Beato had a recent video[1] ranting over the quality of the Grammy entries this year. Now I'm fast approaching the get-off-my-lawn age, but I have to agree. Surely there must be way better songs made in the last year, regardless of category, than what ended up on that list.

Personally I find lots of great music being released on places like Bandcamp. I love listening to their Bandcamp weekly[2][3], even though not everything might be up my creek.

It's not hard to find great new music. I guess the issue is one has to care to look for it.

I know that it is hard to judge art, because, well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but is it maybe that new music is not really that good ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJilkMPqvs0 )?

I might be biased, because I was raised on 90s music and most stuff today seems so tame by comparison.
Yes for sure. I hope I did not diminish those experiences. It is really awesome to be in love. I understand its sway.

I appreciate how we almost reflexively communicate about those emotions in bits of poetry. They splay out in so many directions, it's like we're picking fruits from an orchard and showing each other what we discover. It's really nice to get to be in the orchard.
I'd go one little step further: Recorded music has killed new music.
Thanks for the fact that the sieve of time has basically left us with only the best of the best of the past we have become so pretentious regarding new artists. Also the fact that music can be injected 24/7 into our brains everywhere we are with a simple internet connection has totally separated us from the reality of music making.

Why go outside and listen to some guy in the street or go at a concert in an abandoned factory if you can just lazily put on a pair of headphones and have hundreds of years worth of genius compositions impeccably recorded ready at your fingertips?

Some of you may say that taking inspiration from other artists is a big part of making new music, so the fact that any young lad can access such a catalog must mean he can get creative right away, right? Nope, because before recorded sounds if you took inspiration (and maybe lessons) from a matured and acclaimed musician you would then go back to your town and do your own thing. Few people would have known the original artist and after his death maybe a few sheets of music would be all that remained of him. Having learned from him you would have killed it after his death and your creative endeavor wouldn't get buried just because people have a better record playing at home
Steam's idea of keeping linux as a lifeboat seem much smarter now.
"We might want to zip our car with their car..."

We do or we don't. There is no "might". Spending money on "might" has been the death of many projects.

If we didn't, and now we do, we could write a fn to map the car to parts, or we could define the car struct in terms of its parts, or we could just do away with the car altogether.

But far more valuable would be an analysis of what changed about the requirements that the model no longer works.

Now, don't get me wrong: I'd love a better language, and by better I mean "as fast as assembly but 'dynamic'". The problem is that, at the end of the day, all compilers are just "premature optimizations" or perhaps "willing premature optimizations". We could all be happily programming in smalltalk or build a runtime using predicate logic, but a) the number of people who could program in it is vanishingly small and b) it would be fucking slow. These languages don't solve a problem that I have, or rather they don't solve a problem that I don't already have a far better solution for. They solve a problem that academics have.
Yep, there's a lot of great new stuff out there! Perhaps with "new music" (as referred in the article) dying and opening up a vacuum, these great new niche artists will find public. One can hope!
> Isn't it stil mostly Java and C++? That's what I hear all the time here.

Go's type system is much weaker and less expressive than either Java's or C++'s. C++ in particular has parametric polymorphism, type constructors, and dependent types. Go has none of those.
Gold digger was an amazing song when it came out. After that I would struggle to name one. I know that the Ye is talented and influential, I just don't think as much as some people make out.

Can you elaborate a bit?

Technically rich link previews save visitors from the tab-overload.
Curb (hah!) your impatience. You don't know what you want in a house. So you need to look at - really look at - maybe 20 or 30 houses. The full walkthrough, looking at everything, including the yard.

Then decide what you want and don't want, and go looking for that.

It's really easy to decide, after you've seen two or three houses, that you know what you want, and you don't want to spend another afternoon or five looking at houses. But those five afternoons are going to save you from several years with a house that you quickly figure out that you don't like.

I don't mean just that you don't like the look. I mean, for instance, the way the kitchen is laid out means that it's going to be awkward putting away the dishes when you unload the dishwasher. That's going to annoy you every day or two for as long as you own the house. (Think in terms of Shannon information theory. They stuff you do all the time should be easy, even if it makes harder the stuff you do rarely.)

If you have a spouse or SO who is going to be living there with you, they need to be equally involved in the input. If they spend more time in the kitchen than you do, they need to have greater input into what the kitchen should be like.

Then, once you're really looking, while you're visiting a house, step outside and listen. How noisy is the neighborhood? Do planes fly over it regularly? Trains? Are you willing to live (for years) with the noise level?

How does the neighborhood look? Run-down, or well kept? If it's run-down, it may be more run-down in five years. Is there an HOA? What are their covenants? Are you willing to live with them?

Get a home inspection, and take the results seriously. You're going to have to either fix or live with everything that they find.

After all of that, there is no perfect house. You're going to be making trade-offs. You won't get exactly what you want. Get close enough that you can be happy with it for a few years.
Good music will organically get more rotation. Great product experience wins, old or new.

Lots of this is just people getting into streaming and able to access anything they want. Ultimately they are making playlists of what they want to hear, not is what is pushed. From the mix tapes days to the streaming days, people will choose what they like when they have the ability to.

Music enhances moments in work or play, and nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
The sound system killed music.

Before clubs had ubiquitous sound systems, these were provided by live, working bands everywhere.

The number of hours played by working bands has never been lower in history.
> Any other means of obtaining that data is illegal

The government can always just ask. Very little data in the US is protected.
1. They don't really get to run the government in the states where this is an issue.

2. Once in a blue moon, they do. But anything they build to enable this requires constant funding and maintenance. Their opponents either dismantle it when they take power, or retroactively disqualify existing IDs from being eligible for voting.

It's not, and has never been about IDs. It's about disenfranchisement.
Fair point, but it still depends. Even inhumanly perfect sterile vocals can be offset by interesting instrumentals and innovative production. Really depends on what genre, or even what specific song, we're talking about. There is a lot of overproduced vapid pop (to pick a genre that might use this to a higher extent), but there is also a lot of interesting pop.
ah boourns
Nice point, didn't know about that. My fail.
There is! It's called wørdle.dk :)
Yeah, but I don't think good new music has ever been easy to find? I think things like spotify's "discover weekly" has made it a lot easier than it used to be though.
This is how I feel about it too.

I like old music because old music really is better. Most of the (non-"alt") music that I listen to was written and recorded before I was born.

It's not that old music is "killing" new music. It's that new music has been slowly killing itself since the 2000s. Even the Backstreet Boys and Three 6 Mafia seem fresh and interesting compared to the stuff I've been hearing on the radio over the last decade.

Even probably the best (IMO) pop artist of the current era, Stromae, writes songs that are mostly the same hooks and background elements repeated over and over for 4 minutes, with no change in dynamics or structure.

I'm honestly pretty sick of all the 60s-80s stuff I've been listening to, but what else is there?

Don't get me wrong: there was plenty of stupid garbage in those decades too. But the great stuff truly is great beyond most of what we get today, at least when it comes to stuff that's considered "mainstream".

But if the record industry wants to destroy itself, who am I to stop them? Keep listening to (and paying for!!) alt stuff, that's where the personality and creativity is.
"How does the upgrade affect my current G Suite legacy free edition subscription?

Your current G Suite legacy free subscriptions and related services will continue to function as they do today, until you self-upgrade or we upgrade you automatically to one of the new editions."

That "until" is really ambiguous - does that mean services terminate when you self-upgrade?
I wonder if there is a service that (somehow) detects your site has been flagged in various categories by big company firewalls, and alerts you. Wild guess: whatever system feeds into the lists that get blocked in this way probably has a lot of false positives.
