I sort of agree.

I've been down the route of "save all the things" and I mostly veered away from it - The vast majority of that content is never revisited again, at least for me, and the comfort of having it is outweighed by the time/energy it takes to save.

I rely on my memory, and on my email search. I keep an occasional note in Bookstack, and some photos/videos in Seafile & Jellyfin.

Everything else gets deleted, at least once a year, when I wipe and install a fresh OS. My total storage requirements are under 100Gb (under 10 if we don't count photos/videos), and I can fit it all on a usb drive easily.

I don't really feel like I'm missing out.

No judgement for the data-hoarders. I've played that game and it's fun (and a great learning experience most of the time), but eventually I had kids and it just felt like a complete waste of time vs actually spending time with the people in my life.

Yes I agree living things like bacteria/yeast cultures are hard to get right. In regards to your previous example you can get the blend of leaves right, but if the plants aren't genetically identical or even aren't grown in the exact same climate the end product may taste very different. When it comes to completely artificial flavorings though it would seem to me that it would be much simpler. For example isoamyl acetate is isoamyl acetate regardless of where or how it is produced.

I have found 2 strategies for mixing it in

1) Park farther away or do not drive between stores if they're < 0.5 mile away

2) remember to not let the measure become the goal -- I try to look for ways to make tasks more laborious ... Clean your house by hand (instead of roomba or maid), use a hand rake instead of a leaf blower, knead dough instead of buying bread -- etc. This is the kind of physical activity that will help move the needle without necessarily registering on a pedometer

Google has grown by using ad revenue to buy comoetitors or companies that do something interesting, then squeeze them for every penny of profit or dump them.

Google has a dominant search engine, a browser and massively intrusive ad placement system threaded through everything they offer. Gmail was a Hotmail clone. Android, Fitbit, Maps, Nest, and Google Earth were acquired. YouTube was bought after it out competed Google's offering. Even the advertising tech was acquired, with AdMob,
DoubleClick invented outside Google.

They are dominant mostly because they have not been bothered by antitrust actions. That, at least, looks like it might happen sometime relatively soon.
I've always wondered about that, that's interesting. Apple definitely makes it look like this is the expected use case in the WWDC demos and stuff but I can't imagine every employee is happy to give their employer access to their personal text messages.
Right, and I wouldn't want to generalize too much from that example, as I think parent commenter does.

One dimension of Cyberpunk as envisioned by William Gibson genuinely was explicitly aesthetic, in the way in which it was meant to be understood and experienced. So derivatives focusing on that aren't necessarily missing the point.

However, it's still certainly possible to reproduce those aesthetics in bad ways, or to lean on them to the exclusion of any deep message or story of any kind, etc. And it's certainly fair to criticize any given derivative for shallowness of vision. So, as a criticism of Cyberpunk 2077 it's perfectly appropriate, but I don't think execution of aesthetics in and of itself misses the point.

> People will get in shape ricky tick as you forbid them health insurance or fat tax them

Increasing sin taxes (alcohol and cigarettes) and raising insurance rates on those who choose to overindulge on those aren't effective so this wouldn't be either. Forbidding people health insurance because they're not "in shape" just feels wrong and a pathway to eugenics imo

I'm concerned about the use of sanctions, and the individual targeting of wealthy individuals as being anathema to the Rule of Law, property rights, and free exchange.

The dollar is inflating at the same time the reserve currency status is threatened, and we Americans, via our allies, are appropriating the stuff of foreigners, seizing boats, currency, gold, and property. I think >400B has been seized at this point.

How long until we move from "Russia Bad!" to other groups, and start turning inward onto ourselves, seizing their property because they are politically unpopular?
Yeah, frustration on both sides here. On one hand, I can see how the nix evangelism can get annoying, especially here on HN. On the other hand the nix crowd is seeing a parade of ad hoc, informally-specified, niche implementations of way-less-than-half of nixpkgs. This is an important problem, maybe one of this most important problems the tech world is grappling with right now, and there is already a solution.

The reality is that the docs are fine. The reference material is comprehensive, and there are some very good tutorials and introductory essays to get people started. The problem is that it's difficult. Nix is very, very different from what people already know, and it takes quite a bit of effort to learn how it works. Most people just aren't prepared to do that much work just to install some software.

> I don't know how this will affect the working of the accounts in future

Was the account opened against a UK or French address ?

If it was opened against a French address, then chances are things will continue as they are.

It if was opened against a UK address, then sooner or later you'll probably be invited to do something about closing it.

IIRC (but don't quote me !) the domicile of the account matters more than the resident status of the holder, since the latter is normally more of concern to the tax authorities than the banks.
This doesn't seem cost efficient at all, my (medium sized) house in Germany consumes about 3000kWh of electricity during winter. This does not include heating, which consumes another 15.000kWh (of heat energy from oil, so around 5000kWh electrical energy with a heat pump).

If I were to use this battery I would need to get 3000(8000)kWh of energy storage at 23$ per kWh which would amount to 69000(184000)$. There are better hydrogen-based solutions for that cost. Also, did I read correctly that I have to keep the battery heated to 180°C during discharge? This is going to waste a lot of energy in winter.
Nice release! And yes, for a short iteration, there's a lot of good stuff in there!

Congrats!

The trouble with this is that the python environment is in the container - In step 2, id need to type path to the interpreter that it inside the container.

Blog author here. Would you believe I didn't notice the proper capitalization is RawTherapee and not RawTheRapee? I didn't think twice about the semantics, now I can't unsee it. Thanks for the comment!
Hum... Every time I see Nix cited somewhere, it's somebody who tried it and didn't manage to get expertise out of the documentation maze. (You can add me there too.)

But it's no wonder that people keep commenting that Nix is an awesome idea that solves a lot of problems. That's because it's an awesome idea that solves a lot of problems (yeah, like Rust).

It is also completely undiscoverable (not completely unlike Rust), and that's why almost nobody uses it. But that's a matter of improving the documentation or maybe fixing one or two superficial problems on the language.
Yes, the CPU self-reported power usage is indeed fairly noisy. We've tried to mitigate this by executing certain tests multiple times in a row, and using the average power consumption across these executions. However, this is data is still quite noisy and is influenced by external factors, like the operating system, your hardware, power management settings, and a lot more. We mention this and possible mitigating actions in the README.

We chose for a test harness because one of our goals was to make it as easy as possible to run it on existing Rust projects. A lot of projects define tests, but benchmarks are not often not present. But maybe a bench harness would be a better and/or cleaner approach, will look into it!

I disagree.

Firstly the sound of all of those drummers was shaped by the people they worked with. This is most true of Collins and Bonham but the others were also very much shaped by the bands and producers they worked in.

There is no definitive "Phil Collins" style you can bottle. Phil Collins with Brand X sounds nothing like Phil Collins with early Genesis, or like Phil Collins with late Genesis, or Phil Collins on his solo albums.

It's easy to emulate the Phil Collins™ 80s gated snare, and of course in the 80s many people did. But even that was a collaborative effort and only happened when Collins did session work for Peter Gabriel who didn't want cymbals, so engineer High Padgham had to fill the gap. That sound is only a copy in a very superficial and trivial sense.

Secondly, Collins as a drummer is inseparable from Collins as a person. During the early Genesis years Collins was as much of a political influence as a creative one. He was relaxed, easy-going, and professional, in among a group of highly strung insecure public school boys who used to argue a lot. In all the interviews the other band members say that suddenly he made playing the music feel a lot lighter and easier, which very welcome but also hugely influential.

This is absolutely not something you can analyse easily by running his timing or drum choices through ML. Because the key part to both isn't the drum parts or the sounds, it's the creative ability to generate cultural influence.

So the idea that ML will give you 20% this and 50% that is a non-starter. Even if you could define what this and that are - very questionable - there's no guarantee you'll get something that has equivalent cultural reach, as opposed to just another drum part by a poor Collins (etc) imitator.

This turns out to be true of all the arts.

Culturally what people want from art isn't just technique and superficial style, it's a distillation and validation of relatable experience channelled through an extraordinary personality.

It's actually a relationship - albeit a very remote and idealised one.

You can only copy that if your AI actually has an extraordinary personality and is capable of personal experience which it can share. I don't think ML is going to be able to do that any time soon.
I think the lack of a dominant JavaScript domain model syntax has limited the availability of admin tools like django-admin. Maybe something driven by OpenAPI/Swagger model definitions?

It is ancient and no longer upgraded (and based on angularjs), but I'd argue that ng-admin (https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin) is the fastest SPA/JavaScript admin framework out there. It is a bit opinionated about paging and filtering (and painful to do moderately complex UI customization), but beyond that I have seen nothing that has come close to the same level of "quickly get CRUD admin UI available" in react/vue land, largely because (similar to django) it had its own domain entity model.

The same team moved from there to react-admin, and looking at a couple of react-admin experiences I've been involved in I'd argue that it wasn't aiming for the same ease of use.
So the issue isnt really that you want to have podcasts and music be seperate. It's that you want to be able to play two audio streams at once from Spotify.

That isnt a supported feature. They would ask you to get a second account if you want to do that.

This is a gross oversimplification of the numerous biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to overweight/obesity.

Yes, the common pathway is energy imbalance, but the implication that "fixing" that is in the realm of basic human choice is disrespectful.

Consider that obesity is heavily influenced by your food environment, genes, and lifelong habits. Do any of those things sound easy to change?
JUST NO. Don't recommend this.

Getting a dog to force yourself to walk is not fair to the dog. Some people will still not walk and the dog will just become a problem.

It is the best when people getting a dog understand what they are getting into. Dogs are a lot of work and expensive.

Truth is developing the engines is a lot more fun than developing finished products. Game engines are like virtual machines purpose built for interactive audiovisual program execution. The games themselves aren't that interesting. Operating systems are fun, the applications running on them are boring. Browsers are fun, the web sites are boring.
> By Ruby, Python and JavaScript hackery I was meaning rvm, venv / pip, and npm. I have the most experience with rvm, and the hackery part comes from the experience when I created a web interface that could instruct the server to do ruby tasks. Turned out that rvm (and also bundler) does a bunch of stuff to the environment of the user, that's sometimes inaccessible, even if you invoke a "login shell" programatically. One of these "hacks" is doing a bunch of stuff when the user navigates to a Ruby project directory with cd, which is when rvm creates or uses the existing virtual env for the project - named is a specific way based on the directory name. I solved this of course but the discovery was quite annoying.

Keeping the "right context" when you do things in different directories with the same shell config is, unfortunately, a problem that I don't think is easy to solve. My preferred approach is to use direnv (https://direnv.net/), but that's not perfect either.

As for rvm, I think that a lot of people at some point discovered that rvm was maybe doing a bit too much (in particular, it would also manage gem sets, something that seems superfluous with Bundler). I think that's a reason why rbenv and chruby emerged as lighter-weight alternatives which are a bit less magic. I haven't seen many people use rvm anymore in recent years. By contrast, Bundler doesn't really do anything to your shell.

> Now that I think about it, every single one of the programming ecosystems I used were quite annoying.

That's something I agree with. As a more recent convert to the JVM world (and mostly just for lack of better alternatives), I'm still sometimes annoyed at the IDE-centrism (and UI-centrism, see also sonarqube) in this space. Luckily, things are already better than they were when I learned Java in university and "it runs in my IDE" was the default state of affairs...
The performance here is amazing. Well done!

I'm desperately searching for a way to replace old Handsontable (before they closed source), but the license here for DataGrid XL makes it impossible to easily bring into a large FOSS project.

Some ideas for licensing: dual license MIT and commercial. Feed advanced features and support into the commercial while keeping the MIT version fast, performant, extendable.
I agree and this is what I've read and listened to as well. (1) Putin tell us this is the case in his spoken words and in his written words and actions.

From an economic standpoint, or the standpoint that war is bad and should be avoided this obviously looks insane to you and I. But if you have different motivations, such as you and others described, it could look perfectly rational. It's all about the parameter space you operate in that determines your actions.

I mean this is exactly what you'd expect a capitalist company like TikTok (Bytedance) to do: cave to any local regulations in order to make more money, even if that means bowing to pressure of a dictatorship.

What's truly unsettling is that in the world today we must contend with the conflict between achieving capitalist goals (more money) and ideological ones (democracy).

The nuances around spot pricing are testing the limits of my knowledge here, but my understanding (which might be wrong!) is that, in the context of gas storage infrastructure, spot prices have an indirect influence on the fill level, purely based on price speculation. In other words, the good-faith actors would respond to low spot prices by increasing the fill level in storage infrastructure, but because the prices are currently high, there's no incentive for that, and now the German government is trying to figure out a policy solution to increase storage fill level. Seizing control of Gazprom Germania would then play a part in that policy solution.

That being said, just to clarify: the discussions I was referencing in the GP comment suggest that Gazprom has not been acting as a good-faith rational actor, and has in fact been keeping their storage infrastructure even less full than you would expect due to high gas prices.

>placing trust in people and institutions is often not so irrational.

The question is which institutions and people do we place trust in? When they contradict each other whom do you believe? Should we believe them sometimes but not others?

That's where people get irrational and antivaxxers are just one example of that.

It's really easy to drop in an initializer, make your patch, let it ride in production for a while and then contribute your patch back to the main project than it is to set up a fork and all of the ceremony involved with keeping it up to date.

It's a good example of removing barriers of entry or an idea of Ruby's "sharp knives". Great for when you need it but can also be a disaster when abused.

I think to focus on Neuromancer's use of Japanese culture is to stay at the surface level. The background of Neuromancer is one of income inequality, human destruction, and almost-absent government and community (partly caused by a ubiquitous global information network that seems to have broken everything.) We don't have brain-computer interfaces today and Chiba City isn't the center of the tech world (maybe that's Shenzen now ;) but we sure have the income inequality and broken societies.

I was a sci-fi fan growing up, and Neuromancer wasn't the first cyberpunk novel along these lines (I would definitely recommend The Shockwave Rider for that) but it was one of the most striking spec-fi books I read that presented a realistic future that could be traced to our own world and critically: that wasn't better than it.

Ironically, reading Neuromancer in my older age, the main observation I have is how optimistic it is. The seas aren't rising and the climate seems to be doing just fine.
