I agree that it would be best for consumers if we could pay for as much as we consume at an all-inclusive buffet of content. This isn't what providers want, they don't want their utility to be commoditized. But it could work for a first mover providing such a platform.

What if Amazon instead of Prime Video had an open content marketplace? Sure there would be a lot of rubbish, but with a good recommendation system could outdo Netflix in matching content with consumers, which was Netflix's core competency until they decided otherwise.
I'm not assuming, I'm just saying a vast majority of 40+ devs in my area fall into those groups. It's a different story at tech hubs where there's actual career growth.
>I miss the days where I could binge watch a series on release date. Now all the streaming services also seem to rate limit each episode to once a week.

Haha this just means that I have to wait longer to resubscribe.
Yea HBO's app is incredibly broken. I don't understand how the rewind button is still broken. At least 20% of the time when I rewind the app crashes, how is that even possible in 2022? Seems like they're doing it on purpose to try to get you to pay attention.
I suggest using an older version of SketchUp with a lifetime license. Outside of 3D Warehouse access, there's not much to be gained from their recent updates. I want to love the web version, but it's SO slow compared to the desktop version, even a desktop version running in a x86 CPU emulated Windows box on my ARM laptop. And the keybaord shortcuts all changed! I can't give up 15 years of muscle memory.
Doesn't semver already cover this? Just consider types as first-class citizens alongside features and you're good
In case anyone is curious, it appears a pint of blood in the US sells for $150--$300.
This sounds like an advert for Snap investors...
It's hard to describe. Pro audio equipment is such a remarkably different landscape from the rest of the tech industry, since we've really had all this stuff perfected for a couple decades. A product like this could have existed without a problem in the 90s, frankly the only bottleneck would be finding a way to store all the audio on there without putting in a hard disk.

I think people are rightfully a little miffed at this thing, because it's not so much "innovative" as it is "pretty". Teenage Engineering has always been about designing hip, good-looking items with practicality/functionality taking the backseat, but this is a pretty extreme form of that ethos. Almost like an April Fools prank, where they decided to mock themselves by releasing something so rudimentary at such a high price.

A good anecdote for their behavior is the OP-1. The OP-1 was a little plastic synth box with 4 rotary encoders, a handful of buttons, and an OLED screen. It sold for something like 800 dollars originally, and sold out fast. Unsure of how to react to their newfound popularity, TE re-stocked the model at $1200 and blamed some nebulous "supply chain" issues for the price increase. No additional features were added. No components were meaningfully upgraded. They simply increased the price of a thing that was now high in demand, and raked in a bunch of cash for doing it.

TE deserves all the criticism they can get if they want to target the highest-end of the market. Companies like Behringer exist on the opposite end of the spectrum, and are pretty well loved since they make cheap products with decent reliability that sound good. They exist almost solely to call out companies like TE who list massive markups on their machines to eke out a bigger profit, when their products can really be manufactured at a much lower cost.

Feel free to take away whatever you want from this rant, but there's a lot of stuff at play. I think the surprise is fairly justified, all things considered.
That’s not the way we do things here. Please engage with the argument being made rather than making insults.
From that we can conclude that you work at a very unusual workplace, but not much else unless your workplace also includes a noticeable fraction of all software engineers.

The real problem can be that you are not actually told what is what first.

You go to shake someone's hand using your right hand. That reinforces the patriarchy, so you are told off.

You ask, no one told me I should shake hands with my left hand.

It's not the job of the oppressed to educate the oppressor.
Piracy is a protest. 95% of those shows are worthless fillers that would have never been watched by the viewers if the full selection was available. Most of those future "originals" shouldn't be happening in the first place.

The reason music streaming defeated piracy is because a single subscription gives access to most of the music in the world, including from other countries and languages as long as you can type the search query (Indian, Japanese, Turkish, Russian etc.)

The reason video piracy is resurging is that every streaming service provides 2-3 good shows and hundreds of fillers, and to have a real selection of what is currently good one would have to pay $200-300 per month for dozens of apps. On top of that, pulling the show from one app and reappearing it on another loses watch history, which is no way in the interest of the customer. Sell what the users really want to buy, and they will pay.
> Their metrics all suggest an inflated user count.

Evidence?
Yes but it means the OP is less likely to experience it.
Since Netflix launched in India couple of years ago I've been a subscriber. The content is strictly average. Amazon Prime and Disney + Hotstar have significantly larger, relevant, and better content. Amazon Prime gets you free shipping as well so that's there.

However, I don't know to what extent Netflix are relying on India for growth. At INR 650/month it's definitely not cheap. Disney + Hotstar, at INR 1499/year is, five times less expensive.
For some context, here's one of my old keypads [1]: controlling outside lights, garage door (status plus control), and scene control (Welcome = several lights on the main floor; All off = very slow fade off of everything). The other one I really miss was in the kitchen and had "Bright", "Dim" and "Off" and controlled lights over the island + sink + under-cabinets + range-hood + some accent LED strips.

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of the "weird looking button on the wall" approach of some of those devices. I have to replace wall switches anyway to get stuff to work, and I don't like "No, don't use THAT switch, press that little button thing next to it".

The closest thing I found was a Zooz ZEN32 [2] which is what I'm trying now.

Leviton makes one [3] which looks nothing like their z-wave dimmers. Lutron Caseta has some stuff that might work but I didn't want to go down that proprietary path (non-zwave). Inovelli is supposed to be making a 5-button controller [4], and their dimmers look great -- but the keypad is vaporware so far, and the rest of their switches have been out of stock everywhere for months.

>Availability of all content, no geoblocking

that's where the "service problem" sentiment falls apart. All companies want to be this monopoly for you with no red tape over multiple governments. But of course, companies get the best cuts (100%) from hosting it themselves and countries (and media licensed) will never agree on what's okay.

In this case, piracy is a way around a world that hasn't quite caught up with how the internet works yet. I wonder in a few decades if governments worldwide create enough enforcement on this for it to be just as inconvinent as trying to steal a CD.
You know, as a kid I didn't really realize what the hyenas did to Scar. I just knew they were mad at him and he wasn't in the movie anymore.

It wasn't until I watched it again when I was 17 or so and I realized how completely dark that actually was.
I entered the industry in my early 30s and remember getting a really helpful piece of advice from a meetup talk. Enthusiasm for learning and the technology is a counter for most of the ageism in interviews. It will stop people from assuming you're set in your ways, a curmudgeon, out of date, or anything on those lines.

The "culture fit" excuse is a tough one, though. That framing can be used to unknowingly discriminate in all kinds of ways.
Huh - I would have thought for higher speed stuff (say 40G+ ?) performance would still be an issue if you wanted to maintain wire speed - Especially driving multiple interfaces ?

I agree home/consumer stuff is just basicly coasting on 3-4 generation tech though. I ran cat-6 cable around the house hoping to get 10G sometime in my lifetime for less then the cost of a kidney...
This is true but it's a false premise. You have history but it's clunky to work with.

You won't be able to "source" and recreate the past without some work and unexpected things will happen when you "source" the past with the most recent code.

It useful but the history aspect is easily misunderstood.

I didn't set up anything fancy like that.

I have a shared folder on my home network where I download stuff from 1-click hosters with jdownloader. I get the links all on one platform.

I got that money. I paid for Netflix once but now I can't remember the last show I watched made by them. Instead I'd have to pay for at least 3 other platforms to watch those few shows I watch throughout the year. Sometimes I'd even have to use a VPN to get it in the original language.

It only is a service problem for me.

(there is a bit revenge for their inability to provide a single platform in there too)
But then Google gives you a car for free, then tells you it won't work in six months as they're canceling the service. Then they do it again, and again, and then no one wants a Google Car because it would just get canceled. The idea may have served them, the execution has not. This idea also translates into, "I know better than you what you want", which leads to not listening, not hearing, and ignoring your customer's needs, which is 199% Google.
Are you sure? The entirety of the comic book genre is almost 100% based in social issues. Even going back to the first superhero, Superman, in the first issue of Action Comics #1, the protagonist rescues a woman about to be executed for a wrongful murder conviction (wrongful convictions and death penalty), rescues another woman being beaten by her husband (domestic abuse), rescues Lois Lane who was kidnapped by a gangster for rebuffing his advances (sexual harassment), and investigates a senator suspected of corruption (political corruption). It also acknowledges topics like media propaganda with the Daily Planet editor wanting to stir up the news. That's not even to speak of later super heroes like the X-Men whose entire existence was an exploration in marginalization of groups based on genetic differences. If those aren't main plot points based on social issues, I'm not sure what is.

Maybe it's just that as kids, we didn't recognize these things as being so politically charged as we do in our adulthood. Perhaps it's because as kids, it just seemed like common sense that these things shouldn't even be controversial so much as just being obviously bad things against which a hero would fight. It's hard to maintain a kid's perspective on things when we leave our kid years.

Edit: wording.
It doesn't ruffle my feathers at all. I've done my share of piracy when I lived in countries where that was the only viable way to get my hands on the information, art, or entertainment that was otherwise unavailable to the vast majority of people living there. And no, I'm not ashamed of it, and it doesn't offend me if you decide to label me a thief or worse.

What I was trying to do is have a conversation with you about why people "steal" or whatever the correct word for this thing is. Just like there are reasons people steal in real life, there are reasons for this behavior, too. You can try to understand it, or you can keep throwing everyone in the same bin, slap a label on that bin, and feel morally superior.

One of those two will lead to improvement for everyone. One of those two is easy. I'll leave it an exercise for you to figure out which one is which.
Those comics were visually dark and had some darkish themes but they weren't much darker than Power Rangers or anything else on at the time. If anything they were more sophisticated shows than Power Rangers.

That's not to say Power Rangers was bad, but Spider-Man and Gargoyles were interesting in that they used multi-episode storylines with multiple acts. Outside of their visual motifs they weren't dark series. They were just offering narratives for older kids that were reading books and comics and playing video games.

Incidentally, this is nearly identical on top to the pattern Erlang uses for the same reason, where most processes couple a long-lived “behavior” with a callback module with a particular structure and a pure-data state value threaded through everything. When the module is replaced, the new functions are picked up automatically, and there's also a callback for adjusting the state information on code changes if need be.

The underlying “system message requesting your process to ensure it picks up the code reload” part is quite different, though!

>> George Washington isn't running for president anymore and slavery has been abolished for more than a century. The past is the past and this is the present: there are some commonalities but also a lot of important differences.

> I think the policies from the 60s and 70s have way more impact today than people realize and without understanding that context, "deep knowledge of current events" gets you nowhere.

I'm not arguing for an extreme opposite position (e.g. all current events, no history). If you thought I was, you misunderstood me. I'm just saying it's not being a "good citizen" to bury yourself in the past and neglect the present day.

However, I will say understanding current events probably takes more effort, because history can be digested and presented more efficiently (e.g. for the Civil War: 4+ years of 19th century newspapers vs. a 500 page history).

It's a weird middle-ground. Blender's workflow is more comparable to Sketchup than it is to Fusion, but it has a ton of mesh editing capabilities that blow Sketchup and Fusion out of the water. The downside is that it doesn't really account for engineering stuff out of the box, but I've certainly used it to 3D print things in the past.

It's not a drop-in replacement, but since I'm already pretty familiar with the tool, I don't really have trouble making it work. YMMV.
hmm, yeah, wow, I kind of assumed USDC transaction costs would be low, but I'm reading they can be kinda steep like eth.
It shows the duplicity and double standards

When the west starts point fingers at India for - free speech, human rights, co2 emissions or for that matter oil imports from Russia.

There is still a colonial mindset at the institutional level where they believe they can just pass arbitrary unfounded judgments and the world has no choice but to accept it.

But clearly the data exposes their duplicity.

> That's a feature, not a bug. As Ibram X Kendi says, "the only remedy to past discrimination, is present discrimination".

Not only is this logically fallacious (has Kendi really considered every possible remedy?), but it is belied by historical fact. Chinese people were heavily discriminated against in America at one time. Today, Chinese people and their descendants are among the most successful ethnic groups in America, but have never received any sort of affirmative action program. In fact, Chinese people are still discriminated against (by e.g. Ivy League admissions offices) for being "too successful."

My experiences with DEI acolytes who follow the likes of Kendi, Crenshaw, Coates & DiAngelo is that they respond to these inconvenient facts with mystical assertions about successful non-white groups being "white adjacent" or beneficiaries of "white supremacy."
In any case, that's a fault of poor public transport in the shires, not London.

Please see my other comments in this discussion. There is no "public transport in X". There is only "public transport". It will never be cost-effective to provide mass transit outside of densely populated areas and major long distance routes so if you want to enjoy the benefits and shift people away from cars in large numbers then you have to accept that we all need to subsidise plausible alternatives for everyone, probably through some serious taxation and government spending.
Starting when I was a kid, I used the expression “gypped” without concern or awareness, and then at some point someone maybe in high school or college took me aside and explained that it was based on a stereotype. I was nonplussed for a minute, and then I moved on. And I just don’t say that anymore. I don’t feel bad about having said it in the past, I don’t have any deep guilt, I just…got on with my life.

So I guess the password is “don’t use a colloquialism based on an ethnic stereotype “, and that seems pretty straightforward and reasonable.
Protip: If I'm reading your blog and an Alegria version of yourself made out of plasticine pops up over the text I'm reading and says "Hi there!

It sounds like you’ve already totally internalized the notion that what you said was incorrect because anyone at all had some problem with it.

My response would be more like: And just who are you?

So in a way, you’re right.

>But white Christian's negatively portraying the rest of the world for the better part of a century is not political? Dr. Fu Manchu, Breakfast at Tiffany's

This is dishonest. Minorities were also portrayed positively in legacy media, and villains were also frequently portrayed by white males.

>Why is it only political when another group is creating the content

In the past studios were creating content relevant to a predominantly (90%+) white audience. They were creating content which was largely in line with their target demographic culture.

This recent media instead is creating content to disrupt what it's owners and managers see as a "racist" culture. That's what makes it political. It's less about money and more about deliberately changing culture in a hypocritical manner - fighting alleged racism with explicit racism. Breakfast at tiffanies was not about punching down on asians, but black feminist vikings is about sending a politicized message.

Most developed world is around 2-3 generations of decreasing birthrate and so smaller families. That means younger people today have less siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, et cetera, when compared to older generations. Those used to be a solid baseline for socialization, and "stepping stones" for knowing more people. I wonder if this contributes somehow to the feeling of increased loneliness.
Did you see the end part of my comment about how I know other people feel differently? Your comment does not make me the same allowance. Which is exactly the kind of self assured interrupter I really don't like to work with, and which is easier to avoid when working remotely. To me, it is just rude to interrupt people unless they explicitly communicate that they don't want to be interrupted. But again, I recognize that others don't feel this way, and I try to self select into teams where that isn't the norm.
