Part of what you described is due to streaming, but it’s also the production side making music available for this type of consumption. That’s been a long time in the making as labels consolidate and big artists become sex symbols, actors, and basically lifestyle influencers while singing generically machine-crafted music that has no lasting potential. Moreover, TikTok is becoming a recruiting ground for record labels. My guess is singles are going to get shorter and even more ephemeral, just like all the “culture” streaming into our phone screens. So what you’re describing to me is an extension of fatigue with a trend that doesn’t try to make things to last.

Having physical media or something that is individual to the music makes me respect my collection and helps bring it to life. I can’t stream from a big service because it ruins the feeling. I don’t really listen to much music on my phone either unless I’m in the car. I like it that way. It feels defiant that I’m not just randomly bombarding my ears with whatever cool new trash is being forced into my ears.

I’m very aware that we evolved things Kay may not have intended, and that doesn’t make it wrong.

He may have coined the term, but he doesn’t own it, nor should we feel beholden to his vision dating back to 1972.

What I said was if the primary reason for micro services is hiding of state, then we got OO wrong, because OO, even the much maligned J2EE style of OO, can do that for us if we want hiding of state and message passing.

Another possibility is that microservices do much more for us than hiding of state and limiting communication to message-passing.

At my 9-5, we use Elixir to write our services and have a few Actor-based Scala services too, so my feeling is that we actually are doing OO fine, and that there’s something else that makes microservices compelling at scale.
You're missing Pyflow which is writtenin Rust. But alpha at least. But wait, there's more…
Debatable at best? In what sense?

There are a thousand examples of companies evaporating for exactly that reason.

'Systemic change' doesn't mean anything in reality. You can't destroy a national economic model and just replace it any more than you can make people spend money where they aren't going. Economies rely on travel and so travel has subsidy.

During 2020 no one flew anywhere and the airlines were smashed with losses. That's not sustainable for any real length of time. If individuals cared to stop flying, they would and airlines would be bankrupt in 2-3 years. No amount of subsidy can maintain those organizations without broad customer support. The soviet infrastructure decline of the 80s is a perfect example of that process in action
Crap :( I always loved the iPod Touch as a secure but tiny device. I use it like a "Secure Element" with my most trusted stuff on it.

I hope the current generation goes on offer before they sell out. Here in Europe there's never been a significant sale on them. I got my current previous-gen for 139 euro but the current model has never been below 200 here.

An iPhone is way too expensive (even the SE is ridiculously expensive in Europe) and I don't want second-hand / "refurbished" crap that third party sellers will have put questionable batteries in. And I don't need a SIM.

But I guess what I want is a really small niche.

> I just can't get any work done.

Yep, I'm feeling this right now. I was recently tasked with updating an internal node app that hadn't been touched in about 4 years and it's seriously one of the least fun things I've had to do in my nearly 10 year career. After hacking away at for it a couple weeks, I told my boss that it needs a ground-up rewrite.

The bazaar approach of Node and NPM has created an absolute hellscape to develop in.

Here's what they are. The "small airplane" certification standards [1] are for airplanes. A helicopter is not an airplane. A powered-lift VTOL incapable of gliding is not an airplane.

"The airplane must be controllable and maneuverable, without requiring exceptional piloting skill, alertness, or strength, within the operating envelope ... (despite) flight control or propulsion system failure"

"Continued safe flight and landing means an airplane is capable of continued controlled flight and landing, possibly using emergency procedures, without requiring exceptional pilot skill or strength. Upon landing, some airplane damage may occur as a result of a failure condition."

So you must be able to glide to a landing, or at least a controlled crash, if you lose engine power.

The FAA is correct here. The "eVTOL" class of aircraft based on quadrotor drone technology will fall out of the sky on either a power or control failure. It's worse than a helicopter, which can usually autorotate.

Yes, yes. I also would consider myself highly aware of my phone, and I have called back spam callers I don't know how many times from both the "Recents" tab and the notification screen. I'm generally impressed with the usability of Apple's default apps, so this one stands out. You'd really think the "Phone" app on the "iPhone" would be a bit better thought out.
Re immutability -- I would say a well written backend in any language would (probably?) throw away the entire state between each request being handled. It's possible to introduce state, sure, but why and how does that happen? For very many backends the only natural thing to do is to code them stateless, keep all the state is in the database, and each new request starts in a fresh world.

I see two common sources of state in any backend (monolithic or not):

1) Caching, whether resources or flags, whitelists

2) Connection pools.

If there are ever any issues with those they can be segmented inside a monolith for a fraction of the cost of going to microservices (either using the same boundaries as if you had split into microservices -- or other boundaries, like just one set of caches/connection pools per endpoint handler..)

So I agree with the OP that the social aspect and development process is the only rational for microservices.

Otherwise, just scale the monolith horizontally to the same number of instances and you have strictly more ways to partition state; microservices only give you one way to partition state that may not even be the best one.

> Japan simply was not that big a country and even if you assume they had a disproportionate amount of intellectuals or amount of advancement per individual, they're a tiny tiny fraction of the size of the US

I don't have numbers from 1941, but today Japan is the ~11th largest population with ~125 million; the US, 3rd, has ~330 million. That's an important difference, but not at all a "tiny fraction".

Also, population is only one input. Many small countries, such as England, have had great success with technology.
The key is meeting people who are interested in similar things, or working on similar problems.

That's it - that's the entirety of it.

The dirty secret is conferences would be much better if they simply had no sessions scheduled at all, and locked everyone in the ballroom for the entire day.
I think you should use different unit for pricing.

Bandwidth is frequently used in the context of file storage which can get expensive really fast even with a few users.

This doesn't translate well on the data side where most json responses will likely be lower than a few kb.

It's extremely unintuitive which is why I think most Paas providers use request and inflate the number (10 million requests sounds a lot in comparison).
Any game can be competitive, it doesn't need multiplayer for it. Speed runs are a prime example of this. All you need is a goal, and people will compete who will reach the highest value. I mean we have even an Excel esports-League now, and there are twitch rivals for the cozy game Stardew Valley...
AboveTheLaw indeed: that cookie banner is illegal in at least 28 countries.

A lot of devs makes $400-$600K at big techs. Yes, comps have gone nuts since 2020.
As bad as the situation already is(and it's bad) the lack of action on Valve's side is particularly depressing.

People invest a significant amount of money into their steam accounts(by purchasing skins and games) and targetting folks with some serious bans would help curb this behaviour. For example, a four month ban on the first offence, a year on the second, and lifetime on the third seems pretty reasonable and would surely have a significant impact.
Have you looked into OpenVSwitch? It may solve some of that too.
This is an unbelievable story and I really enjoyed the read. Thanks for posting it.
Fiio does have the X5 which has a similar jogwheel but I agree with you that the lack of exponential scrolling does make it annoying. Not sure if that's patent-encumbered (fuck UX patents) or what.

Rockbox does have exponential scrolling, but only supports a limited list of hardware. There is an "unstable port" for the Fiio M3k but that's not what either of us own ;)

Might be a good project for someone here who wants to play with embedded hardware! It's one of those situations where once you get it up and going on a particular set of hardware, you will benefit from a lot of "passive" development from others, both past and future.

> The collective right concept attempts to turn the 2A right into the idea that Congress shouldn’t pass a law to take away weapons from its own soldiers and army, which makes very little sense.

Very well said. The utter incoherence of the concept makes it clear that the interpretation is wrong. It's like interpreting the First Amendment as protecting Congress from preventing itself from assembling and not the people's right to protest it.

This is a problem with Spotify's shuffling algorithm. It's really stupid, it ignores some songs completely.

They used to have a good algorithm, but because it was truly random, some users complained about hearing the same artist quickly in sequence.

Instead of implementing a list of recently played songs they changed the algorithm to be 'smart' but it's actually quite dumb because it really never plays some songs. Especially when you have only a few artists in the playlist, and some with less songs than others. As I tend to do.

They say it's "more appealing to the human brain" but I think it stinks. I wish they had an option to switch back a truly random one. If I don't like a song I'll skip it anyway. But never presenting some is worse.

How has Carvana been doing over the past year? They focused on reducing the friction in buying/selling used cars, right?

I wonder if they could have suffered from the supply crunch. Last I checked, 5-year-old Corollas were pushing $20k, and a new base model is about the same price.

Anecdotally, I checked Carvana and local dealers when I was looking for a car recently, because I usually buy $5k beaters and drive them into the ground. This time, it didn't make sense to risk a lemon when I could get a bumper-to-bumper warranty for the same price. So I waited until I could find something new at MSRP, and that was that.

It’s three or four old SSRIs and that comes with with other caveats and requirements. I’m also a private pilot wannabe and the FAA situation in regard to this is bullshit. Is there a chart somewhere showing how many small planes fall out of the sky due to some dude taking his meds?
That's fair, but the preference is pinned to the TWIB/location, not the user. So while some men may offer to pay for a meal at the most expensive restaurant in town, not all men will necessarily offer to pay at any location.
Is that cash cash or does it include crypto they own?
The same one, yup: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/04/utah-governo...
It’s also wrong to force a person to undergo a medical procedure against their will. Civilized societies don’t coerce living people (or even cadavers for that matter) to give up their body parts to save the life of another.

Edit: And returning to my original point from the earlier comment, the anti-abortion purity spiral has led these politicians to vow to outlaw abortion even to save the life of the mother. They apparently don’t agree with your evaluation of intent in the eyes of the law.
Am I the only one wondering why this hasn't been made into a movie? Nostalgia for that time period and a compelling tale. Just needs a love interest plot line and I think it'd do pretty well.
I think this just proves the value in analytics in all areas, not just work but in sport, games, etc
A failure is obvious all by itself. Network boundaries just turn it into a much bigger failure. And network failures are far more common and harder to test, handle and recover from.

> "Further, a call between functions can cause mutated shared state - not the case across a boundary, they physically do not share mutable state."

This is false as state is not tied to your process nor does it require a network leap to add isolation.

> "now you can apply least privilege as you desire."

How exactly? It's not magic, you still have to apply them, and now it requires more strategies and effort to accomplish.
Major problem with that: Phones without SIMs can still make emergency calls (911, etc).

I got one for my kid as a camera. Why? Because it costs as much as many kids cameras, while they're absolute trash, and the camera module/software in the iPod takes really high quality photos that are easy to export or manipulate.

Old iPhones are inexpensive, but you cannot disable emergency calling for a good reason, but that good reason still doesn't make you want to hand one to a 7-year-old as a glorified camera.
Interesting. Sort of makes sense, as the risks in the crypto business do seem higher than say sticking it out at Google etc.

I really think it's true that speech isn't much more powerful in today's society. We just don't remember how powerful it was in the past, because the problems caused by free speech are precisely the kinds of problems that the grand narrative of history tends to smooth out. We talk about pathological Internet speech causing political violence, for example - but do you know about the years-long bombing campaign by the Weather Underground in the 70s, or the time in 1954 when five congresspeople were shot on the floor of the House?
When I was an atheist, I eventually came to understand that the belief that saying that a new organism created by two humans wasn't itself human was essentially a euphemism I could use to keep myself sane while still arguing in favour of abortion on social harmony grounds. But it is difficult to lie to oneself.
>It's so level headed that it seems fake when projected onto the landscape of modern political discourse.

Yes, and we need more of this sort of thinking, from everyone capable of it. I believe we have to stop thinking that "keeping your head down" is a solution. It is not. We must challenge unfairness itself, even if, especially if it yields an outcome we would prefer. This means principle over loyalty, and it won't make you popular but it may save our civilization.
Awesome, I like it. I've been putting more in my subjects recently to good effect.

Not if it’s just a count. Because, even with a low count it wouldn’t be used to identify someone.

Let’s say there were 3 transgender people in the state, or even a facility. If they reveal that number it doesn’t identify an individual or divulge any confidential information.

The low counts have to be suppressed when coupled with other data or linked to other data.

If you included count by age group, then you would need to change from a low count to a suppressed marker.

For example 3 transgenders in the 80+ age group might reveal their identity because there aren’t many 80+ inmates.

But just having a small count with no other info is not really a cause to remove the value.

To be a counter-anecdote: I love streaming music, I listen to far more and far wider variety than I did more. I can definitely see why that'd be a downside for some, but I love it.

My only real complaint is that nothing wants to work together, so migrating services / backing up playlists / etc is a real nightmare. But I never actually maintained that in any real fashion to begin with, so I do the ones I care about by hand and ignore the rest and I've become fine with that.

That sounds a little like this famous skit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM

"What do you do to protect the environment in this case?"

"The planes fly outside the environment."

"Into another environment?"

"No, no, they fly beyond the environment. They're not in an environment."

"But it must be somewhere. What's out there?"

"Nothing's out there."

"There must be something out there."

"There's nothing out there. All there is is air, and clouds, and birds."

"And?"

"Twenty thousand tons of tetraethyllead."

"What else?"

"CO2 emissions, CFCs, and about seven hundred 737 Max's. The environment's perfectly safe."
Another reason for the centralized command structure is politics: If you have an autocracy (of some kind) and a class system, then people are compelled to serve the elite. Those people can't be trusted to make decisions; in Ukraine, some are deciding to surrender their equipment and retreat. If you have a political system founded on political equality and self-determination, then it turns out people work together much better, loyalty is not an issue, and you can trust those people to be motivated and independent thinkers.

Amazingly, with all the visible success of the latter system, some in the US now push for the former.
Was just discussing switching back to Apple Maps with a friend.

I do like Google Map's allows me to group together addresses. When I come across some place, I can easily add it to a curated list for retrieval later.

Apple maps just lets you add locations, but as far as I am aware, I have no way to organize locations.
You allude to this, but one of the reasons the Mark 14 didn't work was that they were clockwork masterpieces that were so expensive that the Navy didn't want to expend any of them in testing, and didn't do a single live-fire test!
