How did you do it before youtube and social media?

I suppose there are still some magazines about music on the news stands, but I'm not sure if they cover "new music" instead of "new releases" of the same old music.
I looked into my podcast app and there is a music category. Perhaps there are some interesting podcasts presenting new music.
You could still use streaming and then buy the physical releases of the music you like.
Another example of the Swiss being polite and avoiding bloodshed during extreme conflict was the general strike of 1918.

It lasted two days but the strike leaders capitulated after being threatened by the Swiss military. It could have ended rather brutally.

After the strike there was a phase of reforms for workers and democratic rights. It was understood that there had to be good faith negotiation with unions from there on.
Not the OP but I watch on a smart TV or on my phone a lot, also while commuting. There are also some songs that I can only find on Youtube so I use the music feature quite a lot. so a premium sub was the easiest way for me to not need to deal with those god-awful ads, yeah I know there are hacks like wifi-level adblockers but it's no end-all-be-all.

I know people want to fight against Youtube premium but it's a pointless fight, all that's gonna happen is the less techy-savvy will get bombarded with ads, the more the tech-savvy folk resist, I'm accepting the reality that this free service now needs either a paid plan or to serve more ads, I'm not resisting it, it's just the way it is.
There’s also tons of covers which can suit you better than the original (or even suit you at all where the original definitely did not).

For me “stories” (acoustic covers by the Scary Pockets crew and the same model of rotating guest singers & musicians — without the fixed members though Lerman is generally on guitar) is a daily with a 95% hit rate, but about half the originals I wouldn't listen to at all.
I've had the full range of emotions from filling it in and messaging "cool idea" to anger.

Did that take any complicated setup to make the routing work?
No that wouldn't help because you'd need to store the random salt along the hashes. So you can still do: bcrypt(other_leaked_md5 + salt) to shuck it (i.e confirm if both are the same, and skip the bcrypt on your stronger service). The defense is a global "pepper" that would be in the code but not the DB, assuming only the second one leaks.
Perhaps your conscience could have told you to throw away your tickets instead of selling them.
> did they control for other factors, that tend to go along with smoking, like obesity

Obesity is anti-correlated with smoking, though smoking can cause a lot of the same health problems as obesity.
Right, so the link to general health and well-being would be interesting - not all-cause mortality.

Google Talk was originally just XMPP. Or at least XMPP compatible. I suppose that was too open for them.

New music is reviving old music. Makes the original Floyd recordings sound slow, ponderous, pretentious, and boring, even to the ears of this old fan.
What point? They didn't make a point, just JAQing off.
Yeah there's all sorts of nonsense you can do to do autoplay. I kind of remember at one of my old jobs, to get autoplay working on some elearning courses, when the user clicked 'Start', we'd start the audio but not play anything, and then switch out the file that was played when required which would 'autoplay' as the user had already initiated the sound. At least that was the general idea afaik.
That is not even the stupidest part. Texas grid is entirely isolated and large parts of its generating capacity had simply failed, as had say gas wells supplying them - they weren't incentivizing anyone to produce at that price point that wouldn't be already.
yea fair call! i just wanted to be able to stop recruiters spamming a candidate to find their filters so i limit the number of submissions they can make to a single candidate in a day.
Honestly on mine phone i have - iMessage, Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp, Skype, Hangouts, Chat and Meet.

I mostly use first four. Biggest missing from that list - Messenger, Twitter.
I think I went to the wrong "Donnie and Fryer 2013" because it had an abstract that made the schools sound pretty good? [1]

You're not seeing the big picture: what's the point of generating more electricity, if it's all wasted on creating useless bitcoin?

Shouldn't we be capturing co2 or warming up children in need instead?
Google Meet does that. Confirmed it just yesterday. However it couldn't tolerate cellular network blackouts for a minute or two while on-the-go.

I stumbled across this one recently, from their Please Read at Least Once:

> It has rolled out now though

Not really. Google is giving the middle finger to carriers who implemented Universal Profile on their own rather than use Jibe. And we now have fragmentation even before there was time for significant adoption.

That said, your points about iMessage are right. I believe RCS support might actually help iMessage in some markets, since SMS fallback is precisely the reason people won't use it.
I checked performance on my server locally vs accessing the server as a NAS.

The simple spinning hard-drive was already faster than gigabit ethernet, and the NAS access speed was 90-95% of ethernet. So I am prerty sure that NAS is the bottleneck here. And this is on a WD-red 5400RPM harddrive, nothing special.

I have 2 acquaintances, one is a Graphic Designer, the other is an Electrical Engineer who models and designs power grid controls.

The Graphic Designer stated out her career designing advertising material and magazine layouts and websites in Photoshop. Nowadays she has transitioned to using CSS/HTML directly, and then to React.

The other guys core competency is power distribution systems and modelling distributed control systems. He started using Matlab to help with his calculations, and develop computer models. The company he works for pivoted to selling grid modelling software, so he rewrote the models he did in Java.

Nowadays if you went on LinkedIn, both would have the title "Software Engineer". Both write code, but I'd argue that their core competencies are still entirely different.

I actually think Wave was a bit before it's time and couldn't really find a place to settle. It kind of reminds me of the laser. At first, it was a fun playtoy but no one had any real uses for it. Over time, it became more and more important until now it's ingrained in almost everything we do.

Google Wave had that same kind of feel but it was never give the time to develop and grow. I don't know if it would have been as important as something like the laser, but it sure did feel like something that would change the world. But that's just me.
Oh, wow, I was pretty confused. This is not about designing a powerful piece of software for trusted members of your invite-only artist community or whatever. :'D
Ooh, that's pretty important! And that was in 01894. I've probably omitted lots of important things like that.

None of this helps you understand how merging works, of course. Pro Git is great at telling you mechanically how to merge, but doesn't explain at all what can go wrong, and I don't think it actually describes the merge algorithm anywhere (certainly not in the main body of the book, or the section on Internals).
No I don't. But if wood lasted more than a couple of hundred years on average, then we would be neck-deep in old lumber. We're constantly cutting down trees, and yet the amount of wood in the lived environment isn't increasing noticeably.

Conclusion: all that old wood is either buried, or it's busy turning into CO2.

So I'm not impressed by claims of "carbon offsetting". On the contrary, I take such claims as evidence that the organisation in question is part of the problem.

Incidentally, how are you supposed to recycle chipboard? Like, for example a chipboard kitchen counter? For several decades, I had in my home a pair of oak side tables, that were made by my grandfather from the remains of a large oak dining table. You can't do that nowadays with chipboard.
OSGi was a horrible dev experience. Lots of quirks and legacy. Nobody wants to maintain that code anymore.

Blink, the tag, dates back to the 1994 or so: http://www.montulli.org/theoriginofthe%3Cblink%3Etag

That's what they're referring to in the page.

In 2006, I was reading [HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible](https://www.amazon.com/HTML-XHTML-CSS-Bible-3rd/dp/076455739...), which was new-ish at the time and using Netscape as a daily browser, building sites using GeoCities. There were precursors to jQuery (cssQuery, for instance) that made it possible to do some things that Flash was too heavy for but you couldn't do in pure CSS.

And you bet your ass we were still building flashy, wild sorts of sites like that. Still do! Absolutely go check out stuff like Neocities.
Astronomical telescopes have a very narrow field. A satellite in LEO would take a very short time to cross it and, if the orbit is known (as constellations are) it should be trivial to protect the sensor from being exposed to it. Even if it's not, we should be able to keep track of thousands of satellites.

You may be able to see them in IR if they are radiating enough heat. This should be the case for some time after they cross into the night side and, in this case, it would interfere with IR observations or with sensors that pick up IR.
Yeah, lots of covers ended up being the definitive version of the song.
Well the women defacto being "forced" to not work part is more, women sacrificing their freedom to make life easier for the men.
It's not any more efficient, but there is actually a technology that has been around for a while which lets you store heat energy during off-peak hours and use it during peak hours: electric storage heaters.

They look like large baseboard heaters, and inside have a bunch of ceramic bricks which can store a lot energy. During off peak periods the heaters can 'charge', i.e. heat up the bricks, then after that the heat is slowly released over time. Modern versions have a small fan to assist releasing heat, controlled by a thermostat or other smarts.

The thing is though, these can store a lot of energy. My parents had a new one installed last year which stores 24 kWh of heat:

https://www.elnur.co.uk/product/ecombi-hhr-high-heat-retenti...

Potentially these (the charging can be controlled by a smart meter) could have reduced the electricity demand during peak times.
Good advice, much needed for a lot of people. I’d say I’m a victim of this. Once people think you need some sort of help, they never let you live life as a normal person again, they’re never just “cool” to hang around and talk to ever again. It takes a lot of effort to find new people who dont look at you the same way or to weed out the smarter friends (who get over their obsession to help you) you have from the rest so you can feel comfortable socializing with them.
Agree that "map oriented" code bases are pretty bad. Always an unmaintainable mess, usually developed by single dev, painful to refactor. Seen this with Groovy back when some people thought this language had any merit.
You're right, Loretta! The roads!
Paxlovid is one of the most incredible antiviral medications ever created. I can't wait to see COVID-19 become a virtual non-issue (for mortality) when this medication is available everywhere.

As for COVID-19 morbidity, I am still quite concerned. We still don't know much about Long COVID-19, but a significant percent of people seem to be experiencing it with the Omicron variant. Not to mention other possible morbidities that may come from COVID-19: Diabetes, DVTs, kidney damage, and others

edit: Please keep in mind that the animals which were bred for and tested upon in the studies that led to this medication being discovered had no choice in the matter, and I personally have a hard time justifying this practice ethically. Animal testing may lead to better discoveries, but the same exact argument could be made for forced human testing.
Who doesn't is the question? I view nearly everything on landscape mode, 'cause I don't like visiting websites with my phone.
Very well put, actively integrating the self-critique part is one of the most important things that allowed the current capitalist system to hold its top place (and even to thrive, at some points). The socialist system also tried to integrate the self-critique part ("auto-critică" it was called in Romanian) but failed to do that, hence why the external actors managed to take hold of the "critique of the socialism" discourse.

Back to the self critique of capitalism, I see punk as a prime example of that, it's what I think allowed capitalism to navigate through the turbulent (from a socio-economic point of view) late '70s - early '80s as well as it did. Grunge, on a smaller scale, did the same thing for the Western capitalism of the early '90s, shows like "Black Mirror" did that for the creeping surveillance capitalism of the mid 2010s (we now say "it's just like in a Black Mirror episode", without taking any concrete steps to mitigate the surveillance capitalism creeping in on us).

Unless I missed it, also if you do cheap website hosting you always get PHP. That was my introduction to PHP (in 2000 ish) and I knocked together a quick application in an evening. Led to a small but profitable side line - on cheap web hosting.
Monolith to Microservices (Sam Newman and Eberhard Wolff)
Very personal, well written story. Thanks for sharing it. The author frequents hn. I wonder what their take is on this making to hn?

At the risk of oversharing this has so many similarities to my own story, only time shifted a little earlier, pre-web. Most things were telnet,ftp,uucp,netnews.

I had read an article in Byte Magazine about the Transputer, so wrote an email, I think this was literally the Unix mail command, I wrote this email to the author and we chatted a bit about the Transputer. I'd stay up late at night, calling into a long distance Unix machine on the internet. It only lasted a couple months until I was busted for the phone charges.

You can still basically email/chat with anyone in the world.
Nah that's just Tidals marketing talking. "Anyone" can submit music to Tidal through services like DistroKid etc. However, to get the Tidal "MASTER" badge on your song, you basically just have to pay them extra. I don't need to submit another file to them, so it's the same master. It might be that they do some post-processing on it, but it's not the revolutionary thing they make it out to be.
> Sort of like the n lg n multiplication algorithm: it's nice that we can do it in principle, but you'd never actually use it.

As a regular user of O(n*log(n)) multiplication algorithms in my daily work, I find your comment amusing.
what this site got wrong is just "remember jquery ?", this was a modern thing back then and almost nobody used. Would make more sense "remember tables for everything ?"
Interesting US only problem. In Europe people use whatsapp. In China they use <whatever's in fashion in China, iForgot the name>.

It's been ages since I've had less than unlimited text messages. I'd still rather not use those because they're crippled, and any "improvement" made by the phone providers will still be crippled compared to what a tcp/ip based app can do.

For example, I'm 100% sure any SMS "improvement" will still be tied to the phone. Even whatsapp is slowly moving away from that.

There's exactly one useful feature in iMessage compared to whatsapp. It recompresses your photos less. I use it when I want to send photos to a family member and that's all.
Research is great but common sense is a good starting point.

We know lungs are very sensitive and easily accumulate shit in them. Therefore the reasonable position is to assume that anything you point into your lungs is harmful, unless you have extremely strong evidence that it's not (as opposed to assume that something is safe until evidence that it's not.)

So: assume that e-cigs will give you lung cancer.

RSS has changed as well. Earlier, the RSS feed could be the entire article or blog post. Then it changed to include ads. Then it changed to a snippet of the article or just the headline with some ads. Every change made it worse for usability.

I don't know how the RSS feed is configured if you set up a blogspot or wordpress blog now, let alone the newer blogging platforms or tools like Hugo.
Another classic site to show in this regard is this Norwegian online store.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a low power wireless technology used to connect devices. It is a popular communication method, especially in the Internet of Things era. Several devices around the house have a built-in Bluetooth transceiver, and most of them provide useful capabilities to automate jobs. This technology is widely used in the healthcare, fitness, beacons, security, and home entertainment industries. For that reason, it is really interesting to create a desktop application using C# that access BLE device data around the house.
Because the other service only does email as a service, so if they do the same their business folds, and the other service is likely to have far better support (which tends to 0 at google)

It is far more likely Google will decide to change the terms unilaterally on their customers or discontinue a service altogether - their business is advertising, not email.
