Perhaps, Pop/Rock as a genre has peaked. Most of the "song space" might already be explored.

In the past, new music has often been inspired by new instruments (e.g. the electric guitar, synthesizers). Strictly speaking, that often was not even new music, but a new sound.

Today we can create all sorts of sound digitally, including the "original" sound from the 60s, 70s, 80s. New music productions often adapt a sound from a soecific era.

The linked post brings up one important point about old music: it's much lower risk to market than new productions. You know already that the songs work, and you can be reasonably certain about intellectual rights ownership when you bought the catalog.

It's the same with movies by the way: Most successful movies these days are sequels or remakes.

Seems that conservative mindsets prevail in the mainstream of art. And THAT is not new, either :D
This is exactly what Linux will do by default, without any special setup or config. Everything goes through the buffer cache.

What I do not completely understand here, or seems counter-intuitive to me: it's called sensory deprivation, but you're floating in water. To me that sounds like a sensory impulse (to the skin, possibly vestibular system to a lesser extent), at least that is what it feels like when I'm floating with eyes closed and fingers in my ears trying to block sound (which might not be perfect though - also I've never done this in water which was almost completely still). Yet in these reports I don't read much about how that floating feels, or whether that feeling is even present. Would be great if someone who tried this could comment on this aspect.
Potentially this?

For whom? Without defining what best means it’s an absurd question. Who makes the most money from it? How many are employed in it? Top-end features independent or cost? Coverage for the average person, …

As I grow older, a for profit business based on people’s health is like a for profit fire department. Models like “regulated utility” feel better, where profit and development is assured but coverage is broad.

This is not my first rodeo. People are always trying to sell their products in these situations. I would not trust a blog post from one of these. We saw the same thing when SOX, GDRP and money laundering laws in EU came about. Some businesses selling more work than necessary. Also, legal rulings typically don’t extrapolate.
Email is trivial. You can either drank+drop in a client like thunderbird, Google Takeout all your mail and upload, or many providers will support a direct server-to-server POP or IMAP import.

Having lived here for the past 3 years I would say that this was less about being polite and more about avoiding human interaction, which is something I find quite common in Swiss culture even today. Highly introverted and wanting to stick to ones self is the norm here. Villages so quiet you could hear a mouse fart.

I feel that these "workflow suggestions" are all nice and dandy, but have nothing to do with the real world. The real world looks like this: Create a new branch, make changes, commit, make a PR, commit some more (all without proper commit messages of course), make more fixup commits, and when it gets merged it gets all squashed into one big commit, rebased on master and ff-merged.

This is what the project I was just hired to work on looks like. Result is a linear history, with multi-thousand-line changes in a commit with message "Implement fixes" and a list of "fix bug", "fix more", "format", "change implementation" in the long-form commit message.

People out there do not even know how to work properly with git, I think it is way too much for them when we start telling them how to "workflow" with git. It is sad, but that's what I see.
Probably because the author found it fun and interesting to do. Not everything serves an audience (especially if you're not paying for it).

This works great in theory and as one off research projects (source: I've done this). The tricky thing is, can you namedrop any such services that actually work and offer a SaaS model?

I've heard dozens of pitches for such products, but they all end up being either

1) unable to grow due to legal reasons (transcripts are derivative works and thus even creating them, let alone publishing them, is restricted under copyright)

2) pivot to become Yet Another Social Listening Tool with a high-touch sales-heavy SaaS business model. They end up negotiating a deal for direct access to the firehouse feeds with the social media companies themselves, with all the strings attached (completely public content only, sometimes restricted to accounts of certain size, etc).
In my dayjob we originally used Scala, but I pushed for a couple of new services to be written in TypeScript/Node as it was really hard to hire Scala developers. I'd say it worked well, we even took a somewhat functional approach to building things. We tried fp-ts but that was a bit hardcore (when you are trying to hire TypeScript developers who don't know functional programming), so just built Either and Option types which provided 99% of what we needed.

There are still a few things I miss though:

* Pattern matching and exhaustive checking. Using a switch statement it is possible to define a function that can emulate the compile-time exhaustive checking, but it's still rather weak compared to what you can do in Scala.

* Implicits. Being able to define something that can convert say a UUID to a String or vice versa automatically just feels like magic, especially when dealing with data from third party systems.

* Compiler macros and metaprogramming. It enables tools like Chimney (https://scalalandio.github.io/chimney/) to be built, which I don't think are possible with TypeScript right now.

I do sometimes get similar first impressions, though when you look closer at the implementation - the very opposite of your comments is true.

Accessibility of the previews has been thought through & tested. The previews are clearly marked when they open in a lightbox. When you are using a screen reader, the experience improves(!) significantly; on click you get the content right away, not a website in a tab where you need to find the content, and remember that some websites were not tested for accessibility by their devs.

Separately, you can always do, CMD+Click and get the same auto-playing video on Youtube.com in a new tab to like, subscribe & comment. Or click a direct link within a preview to go to YouTube website when you feel that you need to like, subscribe & comment.

And for what it worth, Linkz.ai makes a planet a bit greener with less traffic going back & forth and less CPU & energy used to render a preview vs. a full-featured website :)

> everyone has the capacity to be bright

Everyone is different, that is true. But taking that multifaceted existence and flattening it when really this discussion is only about one aspect of that existence (that effectively has already been flattened, but in some other way) is not nice. It tells folks who are quite simply better at some aspects of their life than other people that in fact they are not better, those other people are sometimes better too. But this is about learning. They are objectively better.

That means some folks are objectively worse - which doesn't mean they can't excel in some other area of life. That's not what's under discussion.

I have no direct experience with scaling DynamoDB in production, so take this with a grain of salt. But it seems to me that the on-demand scaling mode in DynamoDB has gotten _really_ good the last couple of years.

For example, you used to have to manually set RCU/WCU to a high number when you expected a spike in traffic, since the ramp-up for on-demand scaling was pretty slow (could take up to 30 minutes). But these days, on-demand can handle spikes from 10s of requests a minute to 100s/1000s per second gracefully.

The downside of on-demand is the pricing - it's more expensive if you have continuous load. But it can easily become _much_ cheaper if you have naturally spiky load patterns.

Example: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/running-spiky-workload...
> Animal testing may lead to better discoveries, but the same exact argument could be made for forced human testing.

Morality is a human construct and, as such, it's completely arbitrary. We humans decide where we draw the line at which time. At what point of the "from annoyance to existential threat" should we draw lines for animal testing, voluntary human testing and forced human testing? There are no absolute answers for these and I hope we never need to find it out.
Except it's not "Pop OS". It's "Pop!_OS".
It is for now but it doesn't have to be. Dynamo's design isn't particularly amenable to dynamic and heterogenous shard topologies however.

There could exist a fantasy database where you still tell it your hash and range keys, which are roughly how you tell the database which data isn't closely related to each other and which data is (and which you may want to scan) but instead of hard provisioning shard capacity it automagically splits shards when they hotspot and doesn't rely consistent hashing so that every shard can be sized differently depending on how hot it is.

Right now such a database doesn't exist AFAICT as most places that need something the scales big enough also generally have the skill to avoid most of the pitfalls that cause problems on simple databases like Dynamo.
The temperature has to be perfectly matched between air and water - the water has so much salt in it you really are floating (like dead sea ++); it's pitch dark and perfectly still.... you really are "sensory deprived"... it's up to you to calm your mind.
I believe it used to be static provisioning, you'd set the read and limit capacity beforehand. Then obviously there is autoscaling of those but it is still steps of capacity being provisioned.

They now have a dynamic provisioning scheme, you simply don't care but it is more expensive so if you have predictible requirements it is still better to use static capacity provisioning. There is an option though.

DynamoDB also requires the developer to know about its data storage model. While this is generally a good practice for any data storage solution, I feel like Dynamo requires a lot more careful planning.

I also think that most of the best practices, articles etc apply to giant datasets with huge scale issues etc. If you are running a moderately active app, you probably can get away with a lot of stupid design decisions.

Seems like it would work fine to pay like 200% of their highest sale price in the last year or whatever (if cold weather operation is more expensive, then benchmark to that, etc).

It wouldn't create the hypothetical incentive to invest in capacity only used in black swan disasters, but I bet there's ~nobody doing that anyway.
I'm guessing tutanota is cheapest - $1/month. But there's no easy, automatic way to migrate from gmail.

Protonmail is more expensive at $5/month and provides migration from Gmail.

There are also other options - like Zoho.

That's what I was thinking. Look, I stored my site in a very slow medium. See, it's slow.
Suckers!

I was *almost* one of them. Enticed by their empty promises, I registered a domain decades ago but couldn't quite overcome the nagging logic and suspicion that "free" wouldn't and couldn't last. So I never really invested in deploying it.

As it turns out, my suspicions toward Google were correct and have actually done nothing but grow over time.

Today, the fastest way to convince me not to use a product is to associate the "Google" label with it. Most things Google ultimately tend toward regret amid the sinking realization that you are just a tiny part of their herd fenced in on a huge ranch that is not run for the benefit of the cattle.

Somebody who really enjoys it gave me a trial package once and I did a few sessions. You're absolutely right, I mostly had the sensation of floating in water.

In the end I determined this isn't useful for me, but there's probably people who are less sensitive to this kind of sensation.

The entropy is pretty bad though, both in data and the interpretation of the data through medium translation.

Vanilla JS is quite nice these days, the only advantages jQuery has now is the fact that it's somewhat less verbose for DOM things and has support for old browsers.

// For example, instead of
$("#somebutton").click(() => alert("Hello"))

// You would do
document.querySelector("#somebutton").addEventListener("click", () => alert("Hello"));

// Instead of
$("#message").text("Important Message")

// You would do
document.querySelector("#message").textContent = "Important Message";

// Instead of
$("#things .thing").css("color", "red")

// You would do
for(let e of document.querySelectorAll("#things .thing")) e.style.color = "red";

// Instead of
await $.ajax("https://httpbin.org/get").then((_1, _2, {responseJSON}) => responseJSON)

// You would do
await fetch("https://httpbin.org/get").then(e => e.json())

Maybe depends on the tank, but when I was floating I was motionless and after 3-5 minutes the water gets still and you stop feeling it.
Until you do some movement you don't feel your limbs.

What nonsense.

1. The repo in question is simply a list of domains. People can choose to block whatever domains they wish. This list holds no inherent harm or ill will and is not a "war against your privacy", it's simply a list of disposable email domains to do with what you wish.

2. This isn't in any way related to security breaches or disposable email domains and appears to be an entirely unrelated topic.

I was trying to find this discussion. How many if these accounts actually exist and how many if them do they think will actually convert.

Reading the comments I found a number of things:

- There are actually a lot of these accounts.

- A lot of people were paying for extra storage anyways.

But it still seems like the math doesn't work out. They are probably using a lot of current users for adding services like YouTube premium, extra space, Google Pay... as well as losing a lot of future users because they have just pissed them off. A lot of buisbesses that may have naturally expanded might just migrate to new providers now and angry people may pick other providers in the future.

It seems like maintaining this must have cost near zero. Overall it was likely actually profitable if you count total cost for these accounts vs all spend. There is probably a decent amount of new revenue, but a lot of this probably would have occured naturally on its own and you are cutting off this marketing forever.

It seems like I must be missing the true reason. Unless they really, really whatef that short-term small profit bump.
If by secondary you mean bacterial infection around days 6, then that was one of the hypotheses and the reason for getting antibiotics (I have only taken antibiotics several times in the last 25 years). I also took a mild anti clotting agent (aspirin) as recommended by my doctor.

Yeah and it would be much better if land value was taxed instead because that is effectively equivalent to paying for the share of society that you own, instead of taxing the wealth you created.

Right now the tax system is basically designed to make humans do as little work as possible. I don't mean that in a positive light. Employers don't want to hire people, they would rather hire machines because they are taxed less. Homeowners don't want to improve their home because they fear higher property taxes.
They have legions of PR people who seem to want to do the job for free and can be way more aggressive than corporate PR could ever be.

Plenty of options already exist. DynamoDB has both autoscaling and serverless modes. AWS also has managed Cassandra (runs on top of DynamoDB) which doesn't need instance management.

Azure has CosmosDB, GCP has Cloud Datastore/Firestore, and there are many DB vendors like Planetscale (mysql), CockroachDB (postgres), FaunaDB (custom document/relational) that have "serverless" options.
