Been there (lost ~120G, 50k songs), done that (music on RAID1 + backup drive). Current stats:

My "sorted" folder is what I sometimes listen to, and music that I collected or assimilated out of my own interest. That's 139G, containing ~18k files in ~2k folders. This includes about 500 flacs, the gross remainder is mp3. I try to get 256 to 320kbps these days, true stereo. My old collection started in the days of slow internet and 128kbps joint stereo (and sometimes even 96kbps), hence the massive difference in size.

My "unsorted" folder is an additional 266G with 35k files (60 flacs) in 4400 folders. This is mainly collections I got from friends and contains stuff I don't regularly listen to, and for which I have not yet checked the quality. Probably also a bunch of duplicates.

1TB sounds fair, though I'd go with a RAID1 of 2TB drives just to be sure. I wouldn't bother with SSDs, but if physical size matters check out 2.5" HDDs.

TBH, most of the time I just use tidal; unless I want a something that's not on there (or some specific version).

My YC Software: Legal-Pythia – Automate your legal/financial paperwork journey
We propose a web-based Explainable Artifical Intelligence software that automatically categorizes, searches through and orgnaizes legal as well as financial data.
We're looking into it. We optimistically want to do it. We haven't committed to doing it, because we're prioritizing some other stuff right now :P
Yes, but we shouldn't comment on such a text.

The # of articles that I personally haven't commented on because I found them impossible to read them to the end is probably in tens of thousands.
I've gone back to buying music downloads, if people want a legal/sanctioned option. iTunes is still around, and Qobuz is entirely web-based for mainstream music, plus Bandcamp for indie stuff.
> What worked for printed text has no bearing for what works on an illuminated screen.

Yes it does.

> ... but it is equally important that things aren't too bright. You should avoid using extremes like #000000 and #ffffff ...

No, you shouldn't avoid them. Users are fully capable of adjusting the brightness and contrast of their monitors.

> Believe me, as a 50+ year old, I notice when it's hard to read things.

I believe you. I just don't think your personal experience is relevant.
But that's not the case; is it? Many, many people who hold USDT could equally well hold USDC or GUSD, couldn't they?
Hackernews is worse in this regard, yet little mention ever.

Downvote me and see - this comment fades into contrast-obscurity.

Downvoted comments turning grey/on greyer is beyond dumb, adding another UI-bezel on top of the pile of shit that is popular (>51%) opinion echo chamber.

Reddit hides comments via minimizing. Hackernews literally makes it more difficult to read.

anyone else notice the lack of outrage? it's the worst conceivable way of dealing with this.

it has, though, made me think about how contrasting/conterverial/more useful discussion chains get presented, at a UI level, and how that affects further participation.
I don't know what that has to do with learning about compilers and interpreters.
This is why you should keep your room lit while looking at a screen.
Yeah.

I used to dive into the console and start removing stuff and even went so far as to write a bookmarklet that tries to identify and nuke anything with fixed position and reset the height to auto on body/html but ... if someone's going to be that user hostile it's not worth my time.

The person I'm replying to dropped in "albeit with a reference" as if that's not the critical point.

If the author referred to in the original article had cited the plagiarism website, there would be no issue here whatsoever. It's the misrepresentation of others' ideas and rhetoric as one's own (paraphrased or otherwise) that's the problem here.
you didn't list .idea :'(
And they gave that number out before they assessed candidate level. But maybe that was recruiting BS as the pay for the max plausible level.
In this case this isn't people voting their own manifest destiny. This is a Texas law that decides a California company must operate in Texas, and that whilst operating in Texas it can't decide it's own moderation policies, and that if it does choose to moderate, it can get sued repeatedly in Texas. Oh, and not just for stuff people in Texas post - a person in Texas can sue this california company for censoring something a california person has posted because the Texas user must be allowed to see what the california person posted.

So to be clear, under this law if a california person posts a nude photo and twitter censors it, every single user in Texas can sue twitter, repeatedly in every different court, under the claim that the california person is being censored for their viewpoint that nudity is ok.
Yeah, I had to click through that article, which didn't link the docket, to get to a tweet with an image of a scan of a two-page order granting leave to file. It seems completely unrelated to the headline. Even the word "reject" is the opposite of what happened.
> It's the private sector completing these jobs, not government employees.

They're government projects. The details of how they staff them are part of "why is the gov't so incompetent" question. Comparable-scale private projects don't exhibit the same horrendous inefficiency relative to other countries: Apple's $256B of spending per year isn't a large multiple as inefficient as Samsung.

As far as the reason, people have been trying to take a rigorous look for years and years and have come up with every reason under the sun, spanning the political spectrum: onerous environmental review, lack of nationalized benefits pushing into labor costs, unproductive construction unions, lack of oversight of private contractors, etc etc etc etc.

But since the blame is bipartisan, our political culture doesn't know how to handle it. There's no constituency for basic competency in government if it can't be monocausally forced into the box of an existing generic political slapfight (as in your comment).
That is awesome. I've been using vim for years and never knew it had a command for this. I guess I should do more spelunking through the docs. Thanks!

No, we're trying to provide similar functionality, but we're not just cloning it down to the API. We have some of our own philosophy, for better or for worse, about what a good BaaS should look like.

Think of it as an alternative, not a clone :)
Is this a matter of people exercising their freedom, and making choices based on personal responsibility? I mean, in the USA, we have freedom. Sometimes people choose to behave in a risky manner due to market forces, we have to accept that everyone has the God Given Right to choose or not choose, it's their personal responsibility.
My problem with prefers-color-scheme is that there's no way to distinguish between “unknown preference” and “prefers light mode”. I'd like my website to be dark unless the user explicitly requests light mode, but the web people decided I can't do that.

Thanks! That's good to know - I've already built out authentication in the Puppeteer-based sync tool I'm working on, but haven't yet got further, and it'll help a lot once I do to know to account for this.

Granted, that means still a third step to orchestrate - auth ending in cookie capture, then album list fetch and reconciliation, and finally (on the other end of some queue) album downloading. Thank goodness they didn't make it too simple, I guess - I'd have hated for their annoyingly inconsistent login captcha to have been the last arbitrary challenge I had to overcome.

(I can't fairly give them too hard a time, I suppose - they're doing an incredible amount with a tiny team and in that context even having pulled their public API is reasonable, however much I wish they hadn't. Just that it'd be nice if they had the scope for dealing with use cases that aren't the adversarial mirroring they've clearly optimized against...)

I prefer Electron so that i can use it like a normal app.

If those fancy web page bookmark app things (i forget what they were called) had better support maybe they would work just as well, but generally i've had a better experience with Electron behaving like an App.

It costs me RAM, sure, but it exists. For Browser, if you prefer it.. use it, it's already there.

As the parent comment pointed out, if not for Electron i'd be missing probably 25% of my necessary apps. Net win for me, and browser options still exist for non-Electron folks.. seems a win to me.

I'll be interested to see Tauri (and similar tech) replace Electron, though.
It is. Listen carefully... the first line of lyrics in the Sissy Bar version is "So much drama in the LBC, it's so hard being Snoop D-O-double-G..." and the chorus is "Rolling down the street, smoking menthols, sipping on gin and juice."

The quality of the recording makes the lyrics a bit difficult to pick out, but it's the same song.
> [Matthew Wilcox] said: why not just use threads? The answer was that "mmap_lock sucks".

Not a good enough answer IMHO. I've hit problems with mmap_lock scalability too, but my understanding is there's ongoing efforts to solve them via Maple Trees. I'd so much rather have threads Just Work Well than a Linux-only, half-process half-thread interface that almost no one will use.
Dunno, I've never used that one. I may give it a shot, thanks!
Is this a problem though? I can see the upsides of ignoring the files in the shared gitignore. Are we trying to save space??

Epic seems to have bought it for the relationships Bandcamp has within the music community -- they see Fortnite as a multiverse, and they've already hosted a couple of concerts. The Bandcamp and Harmonix acquisitions seem to be feeding into that, so hopefully they won't ruin the existing products in the process.
What's So Special About Software? (1998)
No. This is well paid but not out of the ordinary for someone working at a top tier tech company in NYC/SF Bay Area. Think Facebook, Apple, etc. see https://www.levels.fyi/ for levels and comparison.

Some of those companies are doing hiring freezes right now but many are not.

Salary bands are adjusted within the USA by zones where NYC/SF/Seattle are zone 1, zone 2 is 90% of base, zone 3 is 85%. With equity component staying the same.

Europe/Brazil/Canada are on a totally different lower pay scale.

There was no serious money invested until recently in Python performance.

Imagine what could happen if billions of dollars were invested in performance like it was done for C/C++/Java/Javascript in aggregate by various companies.

As more Python is being run in datacenters that starts to make sense, since 1% of CPU usage improvement can mean tens of millions of dollars per year in power costs.
So, just to be clear.

Your solution is:
1. move off to the competition who are offering a subpar service;

2. then wait until they eventually catch up in (how many years? who knows..);

3. then profit?

Heroku is around, because there is no other service that offers the ease and convenience. I looked at Fly.io and Render and they are nowhere close and mature to Heroku at the moment.

For example, here is Fly.io's "Solution" for Redis:

> Setting up Redis requires launching it as a separate app.
..

Or if you want something as commmon as Sidekiq.. have fun messing with configuraiton files: https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/multiple-processes/

Now let's compare this to the Heroku experience:

How to use Redis:

Step 1. Add a Redis addone

Step 2. There is no step 2.

How about Sidekiq?

Step 1. Add a worker

Step 2. Update your Procfile

Step 3. There is no step 3.

Fly.io tells me to "Just Use Bash"..

So while I kind of see where are you coming from, unfortunately all these alternatives fall short. Not to mention that Heroku has hundreds of integrations built-in.
I use smart bookmarks most of the time, if not Duckduckgo (which has !bangs). I almost always go to Wikipedia first.

How do you propose to bring about such a ban?
Yes I use that and site:reddit.com as well.
I disagree, this is just a side effect of good software design. Understanding how git works at the lower level makes this an obvious behavior. There was no PM/PO that sat down and decided this is explicitly what should happen.
They do not have an API comparable to libspotify. libspotify was mainly used in desktop apps and headless apps. There is no currently supported option for those apps, only the unofficial librespot, which is using the private APIs without a license.

Every month I see my user experience decline with Google, in so much a paid search solution would be a blessing.

Imagine a search engine that truly is private, containerized search and does not need to sell you anything. It only wants to serve you true relevance and accuracy. That engine also skips over all monetized sites that serve more than 5-10% ads. Prefers cookieless sites. That search engine would be bliss.
I do. If I were to attend a hackathon (which I haven't since 2020), I would use Firebase. It's simple and they sponsor every hackathon I've been to, so I get free credits.

That said, if I attend today and ignore sponsorships, I'd actually get DigitalOcean market place deployment of Appwrite. I honestly think it's quicker to get started with, and I like owning my data ;)

Never is a strong word, and I mean it. No your fancy extensions mean nothing to many devs. That configuration is not required to run the code in the repository. Do not include it.
They would only bother to try if they could monetize it, and the only model for that which won't create the same incentives is paid user subscriptions. The market for that may just be way to small for the big guys to consider.

There's a common misconception that JSX is XML - that's very excusable as the syntax is based on XML, but it's not the case and you should look into JSX in more depth if you think it is.

However, what's less excusable is thinking React components are somehow equivalent to XML: React components are a lot more than bits of JSX (components very often don't contain any JSX, it's an optional syntax extension, not a fundamental part).

There's very little in common between React components and the XML definitions used by Qt,

> UI with an XML syntax language

If you're interested in learning a bit about how React works, I'll start you off with this: React doesn't really do UI directly at all. It isn't layout-aware, layout is handled by the rendering target: e.g. DOM+CSS for the ReactDOM rendering lib, HTML+CSS for the ReactDOMServer rendering lib, UIKit for the RN iOS rendering lib, etc.
Yeah.

Most of Ex-Yugoslavian languages (The southwest Slavic group) are basically the same. Much along the lines of US vs UK English. Slovenian and Macedonian are also quite understandable.

So the war department's logic was, we'll just out-pizza the Hut.
Hard to say, the rocket technology was built on the space flight enthusiasm of some youngsters in the 1920's long before the Nazis came to power (Wernher von Braun being one of them) - but the German army at the time already started to show interest in such projects to circumvent restrictions imposed by sanctions from WW1, this was also possible because there was a new generation of young officers who learned different lessons from WW1 than the "old guard".

This was also the time when close (and secret) military relations with the Soviet Union started by the way (also to work around sanctions).

Other breakthrough technology was also developed in other countries (e.g. jet engines in England) but not taken serious enough (e.g. there wasn't a visionary individual ready to throw money at the problem like Heinkel in Germany).

And (fast forwarding a few years into the war) once the Nazis went into panic mode when it became clear that the Luftwaffe is mostly useless, they basically started to throw all sort of "shit" against the wall hoping that something would stick (and it actually did): ballistic missiles (V2), cruise missiles (V1), anti-aircraft missiles (Wasserfall and Schmetterling), guided bombs (Fritz-X), and of course jet engines, but there were countless more projects that didn't go anywhere. I've also read that Germany was actually massively behind in high precision manufacturing compared to the US and UK, which may also partly explain the focus on "non-conventional" technology.

So I guess it wasn't so much the Nazis directly, but the panic due to losing a war which caused the frantic exploration of all sorts of tech projects (but this war wouldn't have happened in the first place without the Nazis of course). Without such a crisis, the more conservative 'nay-sayers' might have supressed many more breakthrough ideas.
