I'd guess he would have. Jobs cared about professional users, and not just in film, graphic design, and music. Many decisions these past years feel like the company has not seen the need to invest in enterprise users and especially not enterprise fleet management.
> Although Perl 6 was meant to be a Python 3000 type thing, it was spun out into its own language (Raku).

The problem for them is that Perl 6 actually had an official release (and IIRC, more than one) under the Perl 6 name; the rename of the language to Raku (which IIRC was originally the name of just one VM for running Perl 6 programs) came later. So anyone who managed to keep up with the latest release of the Perl language would have two huge breaking changes (Perl 5 to Perl 6 and Perl 6 to Perl 7), the second one undoing most of the changes of the first. (AFAIK, PHP avoided all that by deciding to go back before officially releasing PHP 6, so anyone who was following the latest release just jumped directly from PHP 5 to PHP 7, avoiding the breaking changes which had been planned for PHP 6.)

You right, but Google at least can try to fix it. For example: allow users to hide sites from search results, allow users to downrank sites in search results, etc. etc.
This is why I switched to Neeva, I want my search engine to make products for me that help me find the best results for what I am looking for. When an advertiser is the customer instead of the end user the entire product road map is just trying to take you back to that search results page as many times as possible.

Neeva also lets me index my personal documents and includes those in search results as well. They are an early startup but I am excited about what they can build when they are not beholden to advertisers.
I have a slightly different take.

I think there's a tendency to attach too much importance to the key results; though I very much agree with your point about the law of unintended consequences, this is why the concept of anchoring metrics/KRs comes up a lot.

To me, the Objective is what you want, whilst the KRs are just a set of heuristics that tell you if the work you're doing is taking you in that direction. But I see it as a classic "the map is not the territory" thing. Too much emphasis on the KRs (like, as you say, tying bonuses to them) can lead to gaming the system and other failure states.
We've had a number of folks migrate over to Crunchy Bridge [1] from Heroku, the only main feature we're missing at this point is dataclips which is coming. We can also help with pretty much no downtime migration even for larger databases. And the team over here is pretty much same team that built the original Heroku Postgres.

Long ago the Xbox had a last.fm powered music service that gave the best recommendations. I could put it on auto play and just let last.fm pick tracks for me and I'd rarely end up skipping a song. No service since then has come close. I was really disappointed when it was shutdown and replaced with one of Microsoft's first stabs at their own music service.

I only use Spotify (well, and YouTube for a lot of indie Korean artists...?). At least if they sell vinyl, I regularly go buy vinyl/merchandise from them directly. Not that I'm in favor of the "Spotify pittance", just that it's non-zero in terms of conversions.

> The Fed is hitting the breaks on demand in order to slow down inflation.

Are we watching the same news?
The measure to slow down demand is to increase the VAT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-added_tax
I don't remember what the Fed/SEC did the last months but it was a measure that had for effect to reduce investment in stocks (would appreciate if you could point out the name of the tax fee)
Deincentivizing/diminishing investment in companies result in what? In a reduction not of demand but of production.. Enterprises will downscale their productions and are subject to auto amplifying panic hysteria. The panic sentiment do reduce demand from people (non linearly).

The gap between demand and production, which is an absurd inertia that should have been anticipated during covid, is mild and most importantly is reducing quickly as time passe, unless of course media hysteria induce panic buys.

most importantly, the salient absurdity of the thing is the non-locality of the discourse and of the measures. Only a limited set of companies have a deficient offer/demand ratio, e.g. a company can distribute 1 billion software copies just fine. However the panic mediatic fear of market subinvestment affect even the enterprises that have no issues matching demand, which are in fact the majorities of companies (although yes some key fundamental companies might be limited), moreover the FED/SEC measures affect them equally, and therefore the VAT measure I propose to reduce demand ( which seems incredibly more logical) should be applied locally and proportionately to how much a specific company demand/offer ratio is affected.

either I'm wrong either the system is just doing absurd suboptimalities and I'm betting more on the latter than the former but please share your thoughts.
Hi!

I'm a Kagi private beta tester and love it. Will become a paying customer.

One question: I do remember a page that told me how much I searched and what that would mean once Kagi becomes a paid service. I can't find that info anymore. In light of the mail us Kagi users got today, does that mean that it's going to be a flat rate for starters?

I am a bit confused. How is Strapi (a headless CMS) comparable to Firebase/Supabase/Appwrite ? Aren't they apples and oranges ?
That's the free market for you. Delivering ever less value in exchange for ever increased cost.
The main risk of being in that pool is that you might get stuck with GUSD which you would have a very hard time getting rid of unless you have an account with Gemini, and even then, I've heard of them refusing to redeem GUSD for USD to people who actually bought GUSD directly from them with USD.

The secondary risk of being in that pool is if any of the 3pool assets die. You'd have to hope to be automated enough to be out the door with the good ones.

Finally, the reward for being in there is the marketability of the CRV which is the lions share.
The feature that is missing and most important is called out in the article: a standardized form of DRM. If you're selling a subsidized product and depending on consumable content (like razors and blades), DRM seems like something you would want. Likewise, if you sell a digital product that can be copied, DRM would be seen as an advantage.

Other online media, notably streaming services and Xbox, DRM everything. I don't think Amazon is an outlier here.
Hey, I just came from the company that hosts that dealer website!

The amount of money that dealerships pour into SEO and advertising is unreal. They also chase every single thing that Google says with complete abandon. (Remember AMP? ya, that was something we chased because dealers asked us to and then forgot about 12 months later.)

I realize this is about Google but I think there will always be a struggle until everyone can boycott playing the game and I just don't see that happening.
I'm not sure how to interpret that. What do you mean by "platform"?

I would have thought the normal use of "platform" would be similar to "interactive computer service" and Section 230 is very explicit: "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider"

In essence the point of section 230 is to allow social media platforms to provide content while not being considered the publisher.

...with JIT support for ARM processors, which is quite interesting.
> You do your best with what you have.

I don't understand your thinking - why do your best with what you have rather than trying to find better?
It's also heavily used in banks, many of their internal systems are built with/on GPL software and that's fine because the only user is themselves.
Tether says 7 or 8B were redeemed yesterday. But nobody can actually verify that even those redemptions were processed for real cash. All we know is that Tether is very heavily advertising the notion that their redemption window is working great.
I don't really see this happening that often. Greyed out comments are almost always trash in my experience.
While I overall agree, I ironically find the search engine on YouTube to be somewhat limiting when I'm looking for specific and/or fresh things...

For example, I wanted to watch a bunch of videos of Mark Zuckerberg speaking from before 2010 and the YouTube search engine only showed me a limited amount of things I had already watched— it even had unrelated suggestions below those results based on my viewing habits.

So I went to Google and searched for videos and interviews of Zuck and found a bunch which were not easily surfaced on YouTube itself.

Same thing with Ina Garten/Barefoot Contessa cooking videos.

Now that I've found some fresh videos, the homepage recommendation algorithm has gotten better at surfacing new content related to these topics.
So... are you also against having any hints as to how to set up a working local dev environment in the README.md file? Because that's also not necessary to run the project, but it's a courtesy to contributors.

Also, the idea that there is some universal rule of 'what should be checked in to source control' that applies to EVERYTHING from personal projects to corporate internal monorepos to open source projects to undergrad joint coding projects to video games is... absurd.

"Screen configuration" means more things. You can optimize for readability, or you can optimize for faithfulness (and more). You should switch according to use.

Give me a break. Medium is fine. The webfont they use is fine. Their jank is nonzero but minimal.

Sure, fine, whatever, The Web Is Worse Than It Used To Be. I wish every text-driven website (news, blogs, etc) rendered with zero jank and zero JS required. But Medium really isn't much worse here than everyone else. Their pages are more cluttered than they used to be, which sucks, but they're clearly just victims of the same forces driving all other commercial websites to do the same things.
In my experience, one of the key factors of being engaged with one's work is feeling a sense of progress or accomplishment. Few things sap motivation more than the feeling that you're just spinning your wheels and nothing is getting done.

I realize that if you're not a team lead or manager, this is difficult to implement. However, sometimes physical manifestations of progress can make progress feel more tangible. For example, if you have to churn through tickets, make a little card for each one. And push them from a pending pile into the done pile as you go. This makes your progress more visible and tangible than a number on a website. Of course, a big "to do" pile may demotivate some folks. YMMV.

Just a bit of food for thought.
Sorry, I still don't get it. How exactly KYC is responsible to crappy web search results? Should it be other way around?

Unfortunately, I find Reddit results to generally be of very low quality. For tech related searches, stackoverflow and direct links to documentation are far superior. Where reddit is occasionally useful is when searching for things like "what's the best service for X?", but even then I find myself wading through many posts and many comments on those posts before I come across a sliver of useful information.
I believe they could. Twitter: Texas Edition is still Twitter. They are not being deprived of Twitter as a service for their geographical location, only being served a different version of it. Which is already true. The engagement algorithm already biases local content.

Besides which, Twitter need only open a nominal office in each state, make 50 different Twitter editions, and then choose which ones get to talk to each other. All of those little twitters will be less than 50m users, because no state has 50m people.

One thing is for certain, this law will not work out the way they planned. That’s inevitable because the government doesn’t know Twitter better than Twitter.

Most likely outcome, though, is that moderation changes so that the rules are different for users with Texas IPs, and those normal “censorship” outcomes populate for anyone not on a Texas IP address.

Bouldering has to be the nerdiest sport. You spend most of your time sitting and problem-solving with intermittent short bursts of work, you can do it at any level of fitness, and there's no competition. I'm kind of surprised nobody has combined a math game with it yet, where as you climb you uncover numbers that tell you where the next hold is so you can't pre-plan your route.
My motto is: I don't want to work on a CRUD app. I want computer science to actually be part of what I do. Not parsing and validation and deployments and migrations.

But finding these jobs where actual "what you do with the data" is the majority work, and the fluff around it is a minority, is HARD and such jobs seem to be more far between. Perhaps because the software jobs that used to be difficult algorithmic problems are now so specialised (Data scientist, Game engines, AI, ...). And that's a bit sad. For those of us who get a kick out of not making a Todo app in an ever cooler JS framework but instead like to write the synth/raytracer/fluid sim/game/, the job market has become pretty boring. Luckily I have a job that ticks the boxes, but it's hard to find another.

1. The author meant transportation generally, not personally. Think trains, buses, car pooling etc vs car. On a CO2 per person per mile basis, cars are inefficient.
2, 3. Financial value wise it's a depreciating asset since unlike land you can always make more cars and they break down over time (until very recently where supplies of new cars was disrupted). We can argue all days about opportunity cost but that's beside the point. Cars work for you, no cars work for others. What's the value of having one if you live in a metro area like NYC?

There's nothing wrong nor hyperbolic about the quote you mentioned. Can't say the same about your comments though.

If I were Twitter CEO I'd directly tweet at Musk offering help to secure financing for the purchase.

If the narrative develops that the big figure on Forbes magazine is just smoke and mirrors and Bill Gates/Jeff Bezos/Warren Buffett are still richer than him due to diversification, Musk will implode given the deep hatred he has for the other 3 guys.

Why stop there? Social media suffers from the same conflict of interest as search. Heck, even mainstream media online has this problem: the public's confidence in journalism has plummeted due to the rise of clickbait, fake news, and sensationalism.

What I really want is a decentralized, non-commercial, open source web. As part of this I would like to see search and communications moved to the client, rather than the cloud. This seems like it would take a huge effort to build, however, and even more monumental effort to bring people into the network. So it feels like a pipe dream at this point. I do think there are a lot of other people out there craving for something similar, based on nostalgia for the old days (90's and earlier).

It's been years since I read it, but from what I remember another big issue is that it compares Unix to ten different systems.

"Unix can't do this, but SystemX can do it! And SystemY can do this better, and SystemZ's implementation of A is much better thought out!"

Well, that's kind of cheating, innit? You can make anything look bad by comparing it to the best of 10 other systems.

Too bad to see this go - this was the only API out of the modern streaming services that you could actually use to build something truly new.

The new Spotify API (along with others like Apple Music) basically allow you to do some of the things the official players offer for browsing and managing music, and give simplistic playback options - effectively, you can build a Fisher Price version of the official app, following the official app’s template, and that’s about it.

I get that it’s all DRM driven, but it really sucks - from Spotify to Netflix and everything in between, we have all these online services with great(ish?) content but terrible UI, bloated embedded browser-based apps and just all around bad user experiences. So much could happen to better these services if they offered open APIs to subscribers.

It’s frustrating that we have so many tools for building apps that run everywhere, yet everything seems so increasingly locked down.

This should be one of the most tinkerer-empowering times of humanity, and yet it feels like it’s becoming one of the most restrictive times.
