Thank you for the reply. This is an interesting topic. I think at the core a comparison to Next is still apples to oranges imho and unnecessary here. But that's probably a distraction from the concepts at hand.

> Are they making simple spelling changes? Are they making changes to core languages (i.e. Typescript vs Markdown, etc.)? Are they adding a lot of new code and so forth.

I think what you're trying to get at here is answering the question, "Is PR A of greater quality or value than PR B?" I've decided that doesn't matter as much as:

- How easy is it for anyone to open and merge a PR of any kind?

- Once someone opens a PR, do they open another?

- What's the preexisting skill level of someone opening a PR relative to the difficulty of the PR they're attempting?

Trends. Over time. I can't tell you how many contributors start with simple doc updates (which, by the way, are as important as code for the Redwood community) and then follow up with a monster PR. Momentum builds momomentum. Collaboration leads to more collaboration. For the most part, "is A better than B?" is a distraction.

Again, all from my experience and not demonstrable otherwise.

> 4 months for both Next and Redwood and as it currently stands Redwood had 55 unique contributors and Next had 210

One of the reasons this likely feels low to me (in the case of # of Redwood contribs) is that we separate concerns across repos. Is this for the org or the repo?

It would be impossible to find an accurate number, but I'd be much more interested in the ratio of (unique contributors) / (project installations or downloads) and how that ratio trends over time.

For a metric like that, how might the Redwood vs. Next comparison play out?

Dependent types is really about the ability to parameterise types over values, and reason on those values-dependent types.

It's not a silver bullet but in usual agile scenarios it's a good proxy for CI/CD health and velocity. Smaller, continuous daily deliveries usually mean easier experiments, testing, deployment, and rollback if something goes wrong (of course, depending on other factors). Metrics are not 'useful' in themselves, it's about how you use them. If you feel it doesn't make sense for your scenario, simply don't use it :)
What sorts of advertisers buy slots that only target consumers with less than a few dollars of disposable income per month?

Sadly, Amazon has the right idea here. Prime Video is (effectively) free, and a big chunk of the premium back catalog sits in IMDB TV, where ads are mandatory.

Imagine if DHH was able to raise several millions of dollars for what is a front end and crud framework packaged from existing open source libraries… money is indeed cheap at the moment and I guess private equity / VC have to put excess liquidity somewhere.
>I had clear naming conventions for everything. For movies: <Engligh name> (YYYY) (EN|FR|JP|...) (<Quality>). For TV series: <English name>\Sxy_<EN|FR|JP|...>. Consistency was essential for me to be able to stay sane. It also made it much simpler to automate various operations.

This made me cringe. Why renaming a proper warez release ? Back in the day, the scene was very organised and got pretty strict schemes and rules regarding naming release, and today it still allows to know exactly what you got.

>And again, as you can imagine, harmonizing the names was tough. And there was more. Sound also needed to be normalized. Fortunately, there were tools to help with that.

The guy clearly didn't have access to proper releases ;)
As a movie fan, I despise Netflix's creative line. Their model is to create dumb TV Shows repeating the same concepts over +8 seasons with no real inherent concept. People just get engaged because it's what's closest and easiest to watch.

Now, said that, The Power of the Dog and Rome were two very good movies that somehow came out of Netflix. I don't think that CODA is such a turning point. All these services are pouring so much money into productions that sometimes they hit the bullseye.
Also note that if you have a laptop that supports Thunderbolt, you need a docking station that supports Thunderbolt. If you have a laptop that supports Alternate Video Mode, you need a docking station that supports Alternate Video Mode. AFAIK no laptop supports both modes, and very, very few docking station supports both.

As far as I understand, Thunderbolt 3 needs to support 4x PCI Express 3.0, DisplayPort 1.2, and USB 3.1 Gen 2 [1] (slides 8, 10-15). And Intel advertises that their Thunderbolt 3 controllers can switch to DisplayPort-only alt-mode [1].

All the Thunderbolt 3/4 Macs that I have had (Intel and M1) definitely supported DP alt-mode (I hooked up a 4k@60Hz that way for years) and also USB-C docks that allocate lanes for DP alt-mode and USB 3.1. Obviously, Thunderbolt docks also work.

Rich man reasonable, but the idea Amazon sales are gross-margin-negative is borderline retarded. Margins on sales are going into other things, like re-investment in the business instead of wages. The loss is engineered to increase future revenue. That may create more jobs in the long run and make Amazon more competitive, but lets call a spade a spade.
It depends when you want to sell your stock.

If Netflix goes too in for "background" with "ads", it will be watered down and completing with other Hollywood cops and TikTok alike. Too many completing concerns and it won't be able to serve all markets well.

So sure it could look good in the interim, and many corporate strategies do.

I get why Stratechery likes it on some level. Slaying the sacred cow here is like Intel deciding to do the iPhone as ARM. Put I think it's different, in that Intel was first in the lead and so would be good at a lower margin iPhone business, whereas Netflix has no real advantage over TikTok and whatever other background content competitors already exist.
As an en-US person, I can say confidently we do not use it in daily speech. I can intuit what it means, but I've never been taught it or been in a conversation where it was used in any way that stood out enough to create a memory.
I swap between three different computers. Everything is attached to the same dock.

I just need to swap the USB-C connector between the three and I get the same displays and peripherals.

Doing this with a "healthy array of external ports" would be a huge pain in the ass.
WordPress.com has been a great option for anyone wanting to start a WordPress site without much hassle. Even I started blogging on WordPress.com free plan and it was a pretty goood experience for me. Since last year, I am hosting this site on WordPress.com as the pricing was pretty good and they had no stupid limits like bandwidth or visit. But, in the last few days, WordPress.com has jolted all of my beliefs about them with their new plans (or plan, if you are looking at their paid offering).
> not looking forward to the emergence of "hair loss" in ... professional ... black hole discourse

That horse bolted from the barn so long ago that the door has rotted away.

The process of black hole "hair loss" has been in the jargon with "balding" for decades. Google scholar will find you baldness/bald/balding with respect to black holes in publications from the 1970s, and I would be far from surprised to find that Werner Israel has the first published use of the exact words "hair loss" in the mid 1960s in a paper on electrovacuum spacetimes.

Hair loss is an important feature of the dynamical spacetime around a black hole, and takes place on timescales of approximately the light-crossing time of the event horizon diameter. Can balding encode the difference between one (classical) shell of test matter of mass M dropped into a black hole versus two shells of 1/2 M each? Good question! Can balding encode quantum numbers? Also good question! These are questions which go back to the early 1970s: https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.5.243...

(Hair loss continues to an area of current active research. A random recent paper: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.12... preprint <https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.14620v1>, "... In vacuum non-zero ∇ × (αB) is quickly radiated away or swallowed by the BH (α is the lapse). However, when plasma is present nonzero ∇ × (αB) drives currents which slows down the balding process.")

Emergence seems far from religious, at least as far as I understand the context of your complaint. If you can derive theory B from theory A, B emerges from A. If, for the same theories, you cannot derive A from B, then A is the more fundamental. That's all that's meant, at least in the basement foundations of theoretical physics, in the weak field limit of quantum gravity theories, and likely most places where one must deal in effective theories. I'm sure you know this, as a physicist. I can't speak to how the term might or might not be used in theology.

I do take your point though that physicists from different areas of physics, and of course mathematicians, might not use a jargon word in the same way. Emergence might be one of those, for all I know.
Frustrating that they keep releasing new models when even existing models continue to be unobtainable through normal supply channels.

That said, I can understand why they went back to the old form factor. The new high-density connectors required for CM4 integration are a single-source item, don't have any alternatives [1], and are out of stock everywhere [2]. On the other hand, the older SO-DIMM connectors are a commodity item that can be sourced from a number of manufacturers.

The SO-DIMM connectors are also much more convenient and robust for removing and re-attaching the CM. Raspberry Pi makes it relatively hard to flash the eMMC on the CM in-system if you include any USB periphery on-board. Because of this a production process will generally include the CM being placed at least once onto a dedicated flashing board before being placed onto the final device.

In some countries torrenting is limited or even actively tracked and there may be legal consequences to doing it.
Ah, this brings back memories.
I took High School computers with these, and I think they inspired me to really get into computers as a profession.
We used BASIC and I learned an actual second language -- Pascal.

Our teachers were pretty novice, and as admins ... um, not really. All the teachers signed in as the superuser (I guess it was root?) to do anything, and they'd often just walk away, leaving us a superuser shell. Fun times.
A friend in that class would create superuser accounts, but they find them and delete them.
If I remember correctly, there wasn't a RTC backup, so turning the system off meant you had to set the date; and they would only power on the lab when there were students there.
So they had this clever script that would run on superuser login that would set the time. So I wrote a little addition that would create a SUID-like shell in some obscure part of the system, so we could have the superuser privs whenever we wanted. A first hack! :)
QNX was fun, and it was a good baseline for learning Unix later in University.
The term "digital natives" has been around for many years.

I don't know the official definition of the term, but I've always thought it was someone born in 1995 or later, where they never lived in a world without online services like AOL, and later Google, Facebook, etc.... Where they never lived in a world that existed before the World Wide Web. Where they never lived in a world without being able to access data online through something at least as fast as a 56k baud modem. Where they never lived in a world without cellphones and portable home phones.

They may not have had all these things themselves, but they knew people who did.

And this future is also unevenly distributed, of course.

I'm under a flight path in Brisbane, yeah those freight flights are surprisingly loud compared to the general traffic. For a lot of the dedicated domestic freight flights where I am (I assume it's similar in Tassie), they tend to use old 737-300s and -400s which sound about as loud to me as a much larger 777-300ER flying over, and louder than modern wide-bodies like the 787-9 and A350.

Agreed, although it seems a pretty blatant violation of the first amendment that government can tell a business owner what speech they must allow on their private property.

P.S.: The US big three automakers went down because of complete management failure. They continued to build cars that nobody outside the US wants (seriously go to any other western nation and look how many US cars you see), and then were surprised that US customers started to want superior Japanese and European cars. VW in Germany is highly unionised and they are the second largest car manufacturer in the world.
> What this post misses is that there are a few people that will pay extra not to have commercials.

And there are also people who will go back to using BitTorrent to not have commercials.

I wonder how the economics will work out there?

I'm currently paying for 4 streaming services because of how they've siloed various shows off. It'd probably only take one of them to start playing shitty broadcast tv style ads during things I'm watching for me to rage quit them all, and go back to downloading everything I watch and using shared Emby servers between a few friends.

There is a distinction between being 'nice' and kind. e.g., avoiding giving feedback because it's hard to do vs actually giving constructive feedback
I think a part of this is that the clock speed increases made most other more expensive solutions not yet commercially viable, but now that 'the end' is in sight a lot of those more expensive solutions are making a come back. You could see the same happening in software to mirror the far more exotic hardware that we use now compared to single core CPUs which for a very long time were the norm.

Oh, those 2am freighter flights! I'm in a super quiet area of Trevallyn, which makes those couple of flights quite loud. Also, Launceston has a similar set of runway lights, that you drive under, and look very close to a house.
I would estimate that Musk accelerated the transition to electric cars by 1-5 years. I believe he claims the same thing you do, that moving to electric is inevitable, and that his strategy has just been to nudge it along a little bit faster.

I used to be just like the author in terms of data collection and curation.

A traumatic experience took it all away from me, and changed me in many ways. I now view everything as ephemeral, and treat it accordingly. Mostly what I do is just write about things using plain text files, with some markup that allows recall of information as needed. Instead of snapping a bunch of vacation photos, I'll just write about it. If someone sends a postcard or letter, I can quote them in my journal, but there is no need to keep a scan or verbatim copy of the communication. Of course, requirements change based on circumstance, but in general, the written word is a great way to store information. It takes up virtually no space. I don't foresee ever requiring more than a 64GB thumb drive to back up the entirety of my personal data.

lolwut

the job of Netflix is to provide a product its customers want. i don't think OP is in a tiny minority of people who want an option to disable autoplay; it's a desire i've heard expressed quite often. hell, fucking YouTube, a service that exists to play ads and that plays more as you watch more videos, has an option to disable autoplay

Netflix gets away without doing this because it doesn't immediately lose them customers, and implementing it wouldn't really gain them any, but i am always quite at people who declare that it's therefore good. i need to figure out some tech service that's growth positive as a function to sacrificing its users' children to Moloch, just to watch the HN crowd cry "well, it's not the service's job to /not/ sacrifice your children to Moloch, and you can put them in an anti-Moloch safe room, so I personally don't see why they shouldn't keep sacrificing to Moloch the children of those that don't bother to go the extra mile to avoid it"

> Ironically, those who preach the value of investment are also almost universally those who don't need to worry about leveraging a social media presence into any form of income or, y'know, social life

Also ironically, social life existed before social media, and no one earned a living from it then. But in your case you might separate social life from professional career. Use Mastodon for the first and Twitter, Insta, what-have-you for the latter.
There is a solution between these extremes, which is:

Peace Chess
I was playing chess the other day, and the Ukraine war was on my mind a lot (its close to home here in Germany) and it occurred to me that chess is actually kinda a brutal game. I know this won’t stop the war, but for me it was interesting to explore what no-violence would look like in chess, as I hoped for it in the real world.
This is a great strategy and one I employ as well. I like to let my guard down and not let things feel too stuffy - talk to them like you would somebody onboarding you into a codebase or something. Approach as an opportunity to connect with somebody else rather than just milemarker B on the way from A to C (old job to new).
