It's an old school playlist management feature from the Amarok Era, it's for when you're thinking "this is the last song I'm listening to, but I do want to finish it". Once that song gets hit in your playlist, it'll automatically stop playback at the end of it.

And by playlist I more mean active queue. Making it sound complex but it's a very intuitive UI if you try it out.

The whole design of Amarok/Clementine is so far ahead of modern players like Spotify, just being able to browse songs off your play list while keeping your playlist visible would be nice, but stuff like "queue as next" vs "queue as last" is awesome. These days Electron UIs confuse me so much I'm not sure what I can even drag and drop.

Payphones once dominated New York City street corners. Now, there’s only one public street payphone left in Manhattan — but not for long.

Officials with the city, LinkNYC and other partners will remove the last payphone on Monday. A ceremony was expected to be held near Seventh Avenue and 49th Street.

The removal of public street payphones began in 2015 after the city acknowledged that advances in technology made them virtually obsolete. New York City officials partnered with LinkNYC to phase in free Wi-Fi stands and charging stations as a replacement. LinkNYC kiosks also provide a social services directory, free phone calls within the U.S., neighborhood-specific advertising and transit and weather alerts.

You can still find some private payphones on public property in New York City as well as four full-length phone booths.

This summer, LinkNYC plans to expand in New York City with its rollout of Link5G and additional kiosks in the outer boroughs as well as in Manhattan above 96th Street and in communities that lack internet access.

I've recently been looking at collimated displays, they're used by flight sim users to improve immersion in game. They use a large fresnel lens in front of their monitor in order to collimate the light. For their purpose it adds a perception of depth to the viewed image.

However, they also claim there is a natural relaxing of the eyes, which adds to the immersion.

I wonder if such a display would work in an office environement. A quick look for any literature came up blank.

Thanks for the linux nudge. For anyone who is thinking about Elden Ring on Linux I was able to dual boot linux using Pop-OS! and install the Steam client, download the game and it played perfectly straight out of the box.

I borked the Windows installation in the process when I disabled Secure Boot, Fast Boot, and Intel RST. I'll work on repairing all that later.

I initially attempted installing Ubuntu since I have recently messed with that on another machine. I ran into the Intel RST problem and in the process of investigating that I discovered Pop-OS!. Reviews claimed it was quick to install, came with NVidia drivers (if you select that version on download), and was tuned for gaming.

I did install Pop-OS! to a separate SSD drive since they're cheap enough nowadays and, after finding the upgrade info for this machine, it was simple to install. I have it all running on an MSI Aegis 3 Plus with 1080Ti.

I have had an NZXT rig sitting in a box for months waiting be set up and this whole exercise was just what I needed to compel me to open it all up and set it up. It's still a Win10 box but I plan to dual boot it too.

Why is this a good idea? In my experience, getting Postgres up and running is trivial. Docker anyone? And in many cases your data is your business so why hand it off? And if you are going to offer this product why not just call it what it is, "Postgres as service", instead of serverless which seems a bit misleading. Really it is simply Postgres running on your server.

I've played with your idea, hoping to easily demolish it. It is not bullet-proof at all, but I declare it brilliant. It uses simple tools and it does work around the cloud's inability to efficiently query all possible types of resources in existence.

I don't see the benefits over a 5$ VPS.
Even admitting I'll save a few cents over a VPS (which is absolutely not guaranteed), the cost saving is so minimal I won't bother rewriting everything under the serverless paradigm just for it. Of course if your cloud doesn't cost an eye and an arm. I can understand people excited to save on expensive Aws instances but maybe you should just consider dumping Aws.

Scale doesn't matter for mini applications and scaling vertically (=throw money for a bigger server) will work for 99% of the companies.
The 1% who need horizontal scaling will have custom everything regardless and will need to hire experts, not a good niche to release a product.

Google Chrome for iOS (well, iPadOS to be precise) will send a web page (not a tab) to desktop Chrome. I know because I do it regularly. The disadvantage of that app is that it lets through most ads blocked by the combination of Safari and the ad blocker Wipr (and I have not bothered to look for an ad blocker that works better with Chrome on iPadOS) with the result that I do most of my iOS browsing in Safari, which means that before I can send a page to my desktop, I usually need to "send" it to the Chrome app, which requires 3 taps, the first of which is a tap on the "share" button near the top right corner of the Safari app. But even with those 3 taps, it ends up being an easier method than the method that begins with my using the same "share" button to mail the page's URL to myself.

I also send pages in the opposite direction.

Keeping the tombstones around in the configuration I have to maintain instead of the state the tool maintains for me also increases the effort for me though. So either I have the effort of setting up the remote state and handling some edge cases. Or handling the shortcomings of stateless in my own code base.

Wall Street isn't run by morons.

The quants own the trading floor.

The Yale crowd owns private equity and investment banking. Why? Because private equity and investment banking involve "literally talking to rich old white people" for a living.

Hence they hire the sons of the friends of said old white relics to powwow with them.

However, you can be absolutely sure that the quants pull in the big bucks.

Boomer here. Elementary school had an odd pattern: the odd grades, 1, 3, and 5, had wonderful teachers. Second had a sullen disciplinarian, 4th was OK, and 6th ended up with my parents pulling me out of that school for another. In extenuation of the second-grade teacher's performance, there were fifty-two kids in the class. The fifth to sixth transition was awful, though.

After that, we always had multiple teachers, and they were of course a real mix, some very good, some seemed hardly employable.
Where does the scepticism come here?

They have demonstrated the intersat links, and have launched 867 satellites to working orbits with them since last September (excluding the ones that failed to deploy). Assuming they are launching the shells in sequence, if they maintain their current rate of ~4.5 sats per day on average, they will complete the 53.2° shell by the end of the year. After this, the next in line is the 70° shell. Assuming the same launch rate, it will complete in a bit over 5 months. It doesn't need to be entirely complete for service to start, but the sats will also need a few months to drift into position before they are usable. So about this time next year, Starlink will be usable in all of Canada below the ~72° line. The remaining islands will get service about 5 months after that.

And none of that requires any of their more speculative projects to work, but just for the things they are already doing to continue at current pace.

That's strange. Chrome says it requires MacOS 10.11, Firefox says it requires MacOS 10.12. Based on that it would appear that Chrome is supporting older versions of MacOS than Firefox.

MacOS 10.11 supports every 2008 and newer Apple computer. There are also patches to get newer versions of MacOS on old hardware. I'm using one patch to get 10.13 running on a 2008 MacBook Pro and it runs great.

In my personal experience, I make and abandon a ton of Rust projects because it's such a fun language, and I really enjoy starting new projects in it. I get an idea, get excited about how I can model the types and relationships in Rust, then throw together an early prototype, then drop it when I've had my fun and before it turns into a job.

Other languages don't have as fun a type system, so I feel bogged down and lose motivation before I even start writing code.

I don't know how many others this applies to, but I have a lot of abandoned Rust projects because if it wasn't in Rust, I never would have even started writing them down before abandoning them.
I wish LibreWolf supported Firefox Sync. I appreciate how they removed Firefox's sell-out advertising, promotions for Mozilla Corporation products, and telemetry by default. But I couldn't get sync to work; it's my main blocker from using it as my daily driver. (Some smaller annoyances as a developer are not having about:crashes to examine, debug, and upload coredumps on an opt-in basis, and Firefox Profiler not having LibreWolf's C++ symbols.)
This is straight up terrific. When I was a boy in the early 1970s I had a Spirograph and I just loved it.
The syncserver is the trivial part. The less-well-documented web of 5-8 fxa-yxzablgt services (FX-Account-server) that you need to also run is the issue. The docker github readme warns against anything but "messing around" type usage, and the last update there was 7 years ago.

Everything you've described sounds unbelievably awesome - this is the only thing I can think of that would make it better. If we can get all of these features (I've been dreaming of branching for years, scale to zero!, unlimited storage - just not having to think ahead about it!) plus easy, even on by default logical replication, you will have found the holy grail of cloud databases imo.

It's not trivial to get the labels correct to avoid collateral deletions. Also, while it makes sense, I and many teams I consulted with found it rather unintuitive that apply --purge with a label selector will also only update resources with the label.

Pretty much. People say that tech people switching doesn't do anything, but when tech people switch, semi-technical people get it via osmosis (forum posts for FF the first time, presumably reddit posts today).

Whole process takes a couple years or so.

What people don't seem to understand is that the interest rate doesn't really change your monthly payment in aggregate for housing as you are competing with other people on the monthly payment who get roughly the same interest rate. If the interest rate goes up, more of your monthly payment goes to the bank and less to the existing homeowner. This is only beneficial if you can buy a house outright with cash i.e. the rich get to buy the dip.

Yes. I honestly find it much easier to think about, easier to design, and eventually easier to modify and maintain.

It feels like a lot of code needs to be written, but in my experience that's because it necessitates thinking about the edge cases in a way that you can try to ignore with more imperative UI or data flow.
