Are these artists even "fake"? Are they "bad"? Or are they just mediocre and good enough for background music?

I guess the complaint is that jazz is still kind of a niche genre, compared to "background music that generally resembles jazz". But maybe real jazz is actually less good as background music compared to not-quite-jazz. Otherwise, why aren't actual jazz labels putting effort into playlist placements like these so-called fake artists are?

Or is the assertion that Spotify themselves is populating their platform with no-name artists, to avoid paying record label royalties? Maybe you can take issue with vertical integration, but that doesn't make the artists involved "fake".
I definitely see where your confusion is coming from even if I didn't think of that use case initially. It would definitely be a good idea for them to explicitly call out the difference.
I like that you are selling a frontend for the OS URI handler for 10$. And then there is someone scamming you out of your revenue. A tech savvy standup comedian should be able to get a bit out of this :-)
What if the bottleneck of restaffing isn't training time but available labor pool? If Middle America Town #4 already has a majority of the young, able bodied labor force employed by Amazon then Amazon's leverage is heavily reduced; there may not be enough people to restaff.
The SCM ecosystem at Facebook is tremendously powerful and the result of some of the best minds at Facebook working on those systems for many years. From the scaling of the monorepos to the code review workflows, nothing really matches it. The ergonomics of most of the tooling was simply top notch (which it needed to be... engineers, particularly at Meta, are an opinionated lot who don't tolerate poor tools).

It's great to see this out in the wild now.
I'd make a guess that they simply just hired those people (semi-voluntarily)
Well - apparently mine is one of them. Most of software we do, was built on some variation of DDD. Most of it is not very huge - maybe couple hunderds LOC.

Spliting it in managable hunks, that can be modfied independently and do not depend on framework, libraries and other 3rd party code minimizes headaches greatly, when customers want to overhaul some part of the business processes.

From time to time, someone says "it's to complex" which tipically means "Framework I like has this opaque feature which saves me two hours of work and you don't allow me to use it". Yet in the long run math is clear.

Of course it is tool and should be used for the right job. If something is CRUD, just use your favourite CRUD generator and do not pretend you need rocketship.
Man you missed CNN in the early 1990s. I used to watch Larry King interviews with my dad. He was so normal and direct and human.
No not really. Like you can't choose to get COVID-19 or not. The only control you really have is the agency to get a vaccine or not, which is why it's so emotionally charged - it's the one thing people believe they can "control". So psychologically you grasp that because you're terrified of something you can't control (the pandemic).

Comorbidities increase your risk or "serious COVID", just like being unvaccinated does. But that still doesn't satisfy anything. Comorbidities increase your risk, getting vaccinated decreases your risk substantially, so if you want to blame this "well only fat people get it", well sure. Most people are fat, therefore they should get the vaccine since you can do that in a very short period of time whereas weight loss takes a while and you may have other comorbidities that you can't actually control or change at all.
Hub-and-spoke routing + "it's not a small world, it's a small social class/industry/demographic/what-have-you" + the tendency for industries to cluster geographically.

And what are the odds people meet in the first place? Those exact same factors are what make folks run into each other again later. It would actually be weird if you never ran into people you know.

>…Bangalore. Our trips had nothing to do with each other, other than we both work in tech and were visiting tech companies.

Bangalore is a tech city, and you both worked in tech. That's how you ran into each other.
Agreed. GIS says at least some are from the NYPL:

I think some apps create two entries in the app store. One is often something like HN Lite which is the free version and then HN Pro for the paid version. But then I guess you have the problem of reviews being split over the two "different" apps.
That doesn't ring true to me at all. In aggregate, the opinions of professional critics always push me towards better movies or tv shows. Go watch some of the best rated movies of the year on Rotten Tomatoes by critics, then the best rated by users. It's immediately clear the critics picks are not just better but leaps and bounds better. I have the same experience with restaurants. What my friends say is their favorite restaurant is usually something like a local hole in the wall taco place that makes amazing carne asada. That's not bad, and it's great for that one person or that one dish/experience. But generally a pick from the Michelin guidebook is going to be a completely different experience start to finish, down to the smallest details. It's objectively better.

It sounds like you, understandably, are very much on defense and think of critics as "arty farty" from the jump. Perhaps you saw someone say a super artistic french film was great and it seemed like nonsense to you, or you saw some chef serve up a gastro-scientific jelly bean for $500 and it's colored your view pretty heavily.
Or put another way, maybe you’re not the intended audience if you’re reading a film critic’s work only to decide if you might like a film and you repeatedly find that your tastes are very different than that critic’s.
Is Stan Weinstein paying you to post this?
I don't care about the US perspective, I care about his perspective, and for the life of me I can't imagine someone so incredibly convinced of their own ability to hide their tracks that they'd be involved in a multi-year effort like that and think it's smart to go visit the United States. It's not like that would be the first time someone got arrested on entry. If it can happen to the CEO of a large multinational it can happen to Joe Random Hacker at least as easily. The interesting thing is they didn't arrest him on the spot, but they might well have.

There is a chance of that.
Hiding an application, very simply and straightforwardly, just takes the application out of the foreground and makes all its windows disappear. They are still considered to "exist", in the same desktops/spaces, and no state is lost—when you switch back to the application, all its windows reappear exactly as they were when you hid it (assuming no background processing changed them, of course). They are just not visible for as long as you keep the application hidden.

The difference between this and minimizing is that a) it affects all windows of the application, not just a selected one, and b) a minimized window either goes into the side of the Dock, or into the application icon on the Dock (depending on your set preferences); hidden windows, as I said, are completely invisible.

There is also a "Show All" option under the application menu (the one just to the right of the Apple menu, with the name of the foreground application) that will un-hide all currently hidden applications.

Virtual desktops are a relatively recent addition to the Mac; this hiding behavior has been around and worked consistently since the mid-'90s, well before Mac OS X.

(As a final random tidbit, one of my most common methods of hiding an application—particularly if it's the one I'm using at the time—is to simply option-click on either the desktop or another application's window, as that is a longstanding shortcut for doing so.)
I use a MacBook Pro, and when I'm not just using the laptop on my lap, my usual setup has it connected to a dock with an external keyboard and a Magic Mouse. The Magic Mouse doesn't give access to all the different gestures the trackpad does, but it does let you use two-finger swipe left & right for switching spaces, and a two-finger double-tap for activating Mission Control (showing all the windows of the active space, as well as the active spaces along the top).

It means they haven't (yet?) transitioned to open-first and it'll require proving themselves that they'll do open-first development before trusting them. Not willing to bet my work on a product where the governance isn't open but everything is driven by and for a single company's needs.

Pretty much.

There's a financial incentive for artists to participate in this. It's more or less a steady income stream, there's no touring, and there's no need to present an attractive public image to sell. Just create music at your own time, let Spotify package it, and get paid.
The example I was talking about was specifically regarding a Qt app built for iOS.
An end customer cannot modify and/or relink the Qt libraries inside because Apple doesn't allow it through the App Store signing mechanisms.

I agree, Qt docs/marketing regarding licensing are a complete shit-show, and a solid reason why I don't recommend them anymore when I show up in a new organization. And I've been a Qt developer since the version 2 days. It's just too hard to negotiate and explain to management anymore, and the new lean towards a subscription model makes it even worse.
When I flew a lot I would run into regulars and people that I knew at least a couple of times every year.
> do you think that housing prices running away like this might instigate some policy shifts?

Probably, yes. It was easy to see this coming, so I think policymakers should have shifted policy earlier, but it will be hard not to do so at this point, because now you don't need to look ahead anymore to see it.

The last time shelter inflation rose in this fashion was around 2010 to 2013 -- but that was shelter bouncing back from -0.6% to 2.3% after the GFC, rather than running ahead of the inflation target. The time before that was 2005-2007, when shelter inflation ramped up to 4.3% before the GFC. And the time before that was the '80s Volcker shock.

That's not just pattern-matching; that's a causal relationship. When interest rates gradually rise or fall, housing prices fall or rise in tandem such that shelter inflation -- rent and mortage payments -- is fairly constant at around 2%. But when interest rates step-change suddenly, shelter reacts violently. When that change is a rate cut, shelter initially falls (as mortgages get cheaper) and then climbs back (as housing prices adjust for the lower rates). When that is a rate hike, shelter initially spikes (as mortgages get expensive) and then falls (after the real estate market corrects).

But real estate market corrections are more broadly devastating than stock market corrections (although they often go in pairs). Housing is a highly-leveraged asset, is most peoples' largest (or only) investment, is used as collateral for other loans, and so on.

Shelter is a good approximator for overall long-term inflation expectations, labor prices, and wage inflation. So the Fed doesn't have much choice but to either address it or allow an inflationary wage-price spiral.
you only need to wrap errors that you did not raise yourself. if your codebase already annotates an error you hopefully are annotating well enough that it’s identifiable. library code you didn’t write is unknown and needs help. wrapping every error is even more verbose and repetitive
It kind of isn't. though.

Alloy Automation is making a better Zapier for E-commerce: https://runalloy.com/

Anvyl is making a better Zapier for supply chain: https://anvyl.com/

That being said. I think that you're right! Trying to just take workflows (or zaps) from Zapier is not going to be the best move. These companies have focused on their verticals and started building a product where automation is a feature, not a product. Anvyl for example is a pane-of-glass for supply-chains orders/parts/sourcing along with automation to supplement the experience. I believe Alloy is trying to become an E-commerce CRM. Their wedge has been enabling some tricky workflows that aren't well supported in Zapier.

If mullvad is compromised, then all my traffic is also compromised and potentially my client machine is also compromised (since I'm running mullvad client). Alternately, to begin with, if my traffic wasn't sensitive or personally identifiable, then I don't actually need this multi-hop setup.

My wife listens to Bloomberg or CNBC. It’s news for rich people who want an accurate analysis of reality because they have money in the market. E.g. I listened to some segments just before the recent Virginia/New Jersey elections and it was just the facts, not teeth gnashing about how the wrong side might win.
When I was a teen I did lots of stupid stuff but generally I was aware of where the line was and if and when it was crossed I was pretty careful about it (mostly: experimenting with 'modulated high frequency sine wave generation').
It’s definitely cutting it close.
> subway shootings in NYC was the first thing I saw

Today isn't a normal day or a good day to compare news sources; there was a mass shooting in which at least 10 people were shot and 28 injured. That subway shooting is also the top story on Google News and the NY Times website.

Apple has been always about empowering creatives. They have world-class camera hardware and editing software. It always made sense to me that at some point they would close the circle and try to compete against YouTube. They instead went with Apple TV+ that feels more like yet another streaming platform and doesn't leverage many of other Apple's strengths and costumer base. Apple seems to have low tolerance for content they cannot tightly control. YouTube reactive style curation and permission-less publication probably feels alien and scary to them.
I'm not sure we're the target audience to be honest. My experience with bundled 'integrations' tends to be that you spend about as much effort fixing the mismatch between the provided integration and what you want as it would take to write an integration from scratch.

In one case it took a bit longer, but in the end it was still necessary to write the whole thing from scratch in order to comply with the terms of use of the API. Which kind of proves my point.
I think you’ve been downvoted because “photographic” is just a figure of speech to mean eidetic. If you look up “eidetic” it’s essentially a synonym.
Ukraine had previously had a long-standing agreement with Russia to guarantee access to the only warm water port Russia had. After the new regime that was picked by the US came in, they revoked that relationship. That is the reason why Russia took Crimea (warm water port), because it was unwilling to be nerfed by the US in this way.

If you couldnt make it anymore obvious that you're pro-putin... you bring up the Kharkiv pact and then re-order historical events to blame putin's actions on the US.

The pact that was terminated BY RUSSIA, AFTER they took Crimea.

The former is an unavoidable and, considering the benefits, worthwhile outcome of unionization. The latter is to protect bosses from slowly overloading one person/role and using that to increase work for everyone or split the union.

LiteStream support for SQLite live read-only replicas
Honestly I can’t remember if that was the case (though it vaguely sounds correct) or if you had to complete (was that tab?).

Now ELF is ubiquitous I wish the tab command completion were built into a section of the binary rather than being in sidecar files elsewhere in the filesystem, which is fragile.
That's not really a helpful point. You've introduced a tautology.

People who rely on faithful, factual descriptions of reality would be liberals if reality had a liberal bias and they interpreted reality accurately.
A comment on the article was: """

I reviewed films for the whole of the nineties for the BBC and local press in Manchester rarely missing any new releases. With this luxury and dream job though comes a responsibility and after a while it became obvious that I was suffering from Movie fatigue.

It was easy to dismiss much of Hollywood’s fare as formulaic and worthless because we had seen too much and seen better. Some of the movies I panned were perfectly good films and many were extremely successful and popular with audiences, but for me they were dull, and despite fabulous production values left me cold. Mark Kermode (Film Critic BBC) was one of my contemporaries and he said: “You have to see everything so that when something comes along that is good you will really notice it.” Of course, this exacerbated the fatigue and often meant that we were too quick to judge, and after a while, very little appealed because we had set ourselves far too high a standard to be realistic about the film’s quality.

If you look at the reviews in The Guardian, you will see more bad reviews that good. You might argue that a bad review is much better copy than a good review so there might be an editorial decision in there. To a certain extent Movie critics can be a poor parameter for quality and an injudicious contribution to its success or failure.

After ten years of reviewing films, I knew it was time to stop. I wasn’t enjoying it and I was probably doing some disservice to the film industry. Less is so much more. Harry Stafford – The Manchester Film School

Well worth a read:

I believe the best chance we have of [building binaries "to stand the test of time with minimal toil"], is by gluing together the binary interfaces that've already achieved a decades-long consensus, and ignoring the APIs. . . . Platforms can't break them without breaking themselves.
I feel like the mass of people are ossifying around the familiar.

People like re-watching the same stuff that they've already watched, they're comfortable these days watching reboots of the same superhero movies. They like big budgets and flashy special effects. They don't like being challenged by anything.

Even when it comes to something like online forums, something like reddit is mostly a wasteland of the same 50 or so jokes endlessly recycled, with people desperately trying to be clever, but not too clever, to hit that sweet spot of mediocrity that gains piles of "updoots".

I don't know if its always been this way and I'm just more annoyed with it lately.
Great UI framework, one of The best. And cross platform

Some people are wary of the license, but if your project is fully open source you'll have no problem

There is still some confusion how best open source developers make a living, some are successful, and some get frustrated. Farming users data(Chrome), donations, dual license, paid addons...

Congrats to Qt for doing their best in delivering a sustained high quality open source product
Yes, in fact, there can be all kinds of problems, even of this kind. So you have to be very careful about that. I suppose that it is a great opportunity! I am currently chatting with different people at where are a lot of different cool girls to chat with.

Doesn’t App Store utilization by both end users/consumers and perhaps more importantly developers, who make apps for end users, reflect indirectly in the share price?

If this were the case, the revenue to app developers in this instance could motivate Apple to not discourage this type of confusion.

>in favor of low-code tools. Their engineers are jumping ship and they're having a hard time finding replacements.

I have a friend who works for a major low-code software company. They're doing quite well financially because of all the excitement around low-code. The product is good if you stay within the boundaries of what it can do. Some managers people think they can replace their enterprise Tableau/Spotfire/PowerBI license with low-code and they get bitten very badly.

Finding engineers for a low-code environment is a challenge. You need to understand software development well enough that you can build something because loops, conditional statements, all of those concepts are there. You also need to find somebody who is willing to possibly lock their career into a single tool and forgo the benefits of knowing a general purpose language like C#, Python, etc.

Some companies have success with finding technically minded business people or IT folks who don't enjoy coding and training them. They can thrive and build some nice apps. Lots of folks can't make the leap and fail. Software Engineers are probably the worst bunch to try an convince because the opportunity cost is too high.
Only if the developer has flagged that it is supported.
