Is that why you created a throwaway? Privacy for thee but not for other people?

I definitely would want a backdoor on the communications of every politician pushing for those kind of backdoors, that would be a net benefit to society

I don’t think FM methods make economic sense in your case. They might if you were writing a distributed system, but writing some B2B websites probably means you’re best served with a monolithic system with both tests and types.
To be honest the album art view in media catalogs is actually quite easy to "scan" if you know what you are looking for already. I guess our brains are probably hard wired for this sort of visual quickly-spotting-something-familair/-important/-dangerous-in-a-jumble-of-other-stuff type thing.

I would prefer a toggle to flip between a list (ideally with sortable headers etc) and album art cover view though - not exactly super complex to resolve.
Ease of debugging for me peaked in the mid-90s when I did embedded system development using a 486 bond out emulator for GE. We had a couple in the lab (I think they cost $40,000 or so each) and they enabled breakpoints on really low level changes to the processor, down to changes to bus lines. Iirc it also allowed looking back in time on bus signals and memory values.
Not going to argue, cause all points were made and the only thing left is to experiment. Maybe I should switch for a week to re-evaluate it in the next program which won’t require detailed retrospectives anyway.
It’s not a good thing. A back door to encryption is oxymoronic.
One of the main reasons I always use vanilla JavaScript.
I still don't understand why sometimes I click play on an album of a specific artists and in half an hour or so songs from a completely different artists start playing too. I specifically did not click mix or radio or genre - just play on the album itself. I have no idea why big companies like that always have to have such shitty UI.
There's minimum standards for both motorcycles and cars. Here in the UK, two brakes are required on bikes over a certain size (e.g. small kids bikes are exempt) if used on the public roads. Fixies are considered to have a rear brake as you can slow down using the pedals, but they need a front brake as well to be legal.
This sounds like a debugger I might actually enjoy using (unlike all the others).

While Android shows you which codec and even lets you pick, Android doesn't let you customise output and input devices so you can't avoid the low quality hands-free profile like you can on desktop operating systems. Windows doesn't show you what codec is being used. You have to buy Bluetooth Tweaker. Windows 11 was a step down in my experience and also broke compatibility with a lot of Chinese headsets.

Just the other day I browsed through the PipeWire and PulseAudio repos. They do heaps of work to make Bluetooth work a lot better than it would usually. And yet we still see how rough Bluetooth is. There's no way for individuals or open source contributors to even contact the Bluetooth SIG. But yes, the situation on Linux is better than on other operating systems.

I've never understood the Spotify love. I tried it long ago and didn't like it at all. Ended up on GPM until Google pushed me to YTM. Now on AM, and it works fine with how I listen to music.

I wonder if it's just different ways that people listen to music that lead them to prefer one service over another?
Turntables are not cheap because of the vinyl revival, so they are trendy, hence expensive.

One can reverse engineer the ideal customer according to Spotify.

It is a person who to a large extent gave up on strong personal preferences and is comfortable with algorithmic/business driven replacement.
"When I see people share "fast" recipes on YouTube they involve jarred sauces, spaghettiOs and raisins."

This really depends on the cuisine. I've really been getting in to Indian food recently and the recipes in it are nothing like what you're describing.

Relatedly, one of my main complaints against American supermarkets is that they all seem to be catering towards makings Italian food. Some have "ethnic" food sections, but those tend to be tiny and mostly filled with Chinese/Japanese/Mexican food... And even there have nowhere near the selection of a grocery store specializing in that cuisine.

American supermarkets also tend to be full of meat dishes, with few selections (outside the fresh fruit/vegetable isles) for vegetarians... Though that's been getting a little better in recent years in an some parts of the country.

They seem to react strongly to the scenes in The Lives of Others with the Stasi eavesdropping and covertly opening physical mail. But do it "on a computer", and the aversion seems to diminish.

Because after all, we don't talk about anything important on a computer - for that, we type up and send a physical letter.

You probably could record a process running for days but it would also take days to replay to the end, which would not be much fun. We don't create checkpoints during the recording.

You'd be better off restarting the recording periodically. Also, rr has a "chaos mode" which randomizes scheduling and often makes threading bugs easier to reproduce. https://robert.ocallahan.org/2016/02/introducing-rr-chaos-mo...
> "But what have we lost?!"

make a comment or thread about spotify/pandora/tidal and sit back and wait to see how long it takes for some “audiophile” to come along and to admonish you and tell you a story about their setup and music appreciation “workflow” and how it is better and somehow more correct.

we lost nothing. it is all still here. and, apparently, the added bonus of droves of sweaty people telling you you’re doing it wrong. life is grand.
You wouldn't... but there is a somewhat old-fashioned tendency to do so in Spain (motivated by old imperial rivalries) and in Argentina (idem plus the Falklands affair).

Total tangent, but having moved to Germany from the UK, one thing I can’t find is (what in the UK we’d call) granary or seeded bread. The Germans have lots of lovely bread… but even the dark brown stuff is very smooth with (I assume) refined flour and no major seed/grain content. This might explain your blood sugar spike from brown bread?
I feel like we've lost essentially nothing. In the streaming era, it's easier than ever before to discover new artists and listen to an unprecedented variety of music with minimal investment. If it's slightly cumbersome to listen to albums on Spotify, it's still much less cumbersome that going to a store to buy a CD or purchasing online and waiting for it to arrive + keeping your collection physically organized and in good condition. I don't absolutely love Spotify but I'm not going back to a CD collection.
But if you’re working with Python shouldn’t you be using PyCharm? (No idea, I don’t use either )
Considering the technical and moral illiteracy of police and the judicial branch in many western European countries, this would be extremely prone to abuse, which is why it is not a good idea to enable it by law.

Not only that, it's also just useless. Criminals and child predators don't use commercial services to share their offerings and material, they use private forums. Placing all citizens under suspicion and privatizing criminal justice is not the right way.
And people don't even know about the issue mentioned in this post until after they've bought it. They don't know where the issue lies. They don't know what AptX is, let alone AptX Voice.
The problem isn't that people don't make their own bread. The problem is that bread just isn't a part of the culture in the US in the way it is in Europe.

In most of Europe, high-quality bread is cheap and available everywhere. In the US, high-quality bread is extremely expensive and only available in specialty bakeries. People who are really into bread in the US often make their own. In Europe, where you can buy fresh bread on every street corner, why bother making it yourself?
sadly, I'm not. these are very common arguments against the both 1A and 2A

Spotify has a dedicated kids app for those with a family plan, it's one thing I miss from my subscription. However the interface is basically the same as the full version so maybe the developers think adults use apps in the same way as children...
Not sure if you could call that "the other day", I think it happened back in 2015 or something like that.
I recently switched to Tidal. Same price, better audio quality, better user interface. I try it out for a couple of months to see how it goes.

By the way, I'm always tempted to go back to pirating, and use these services just to discover new music. Given the cost of storage today disks I can easily get 1Tb of FLAC music on my NAS, and discard any streaming service. So I can also get music in a quality that you can't get on a streaming service, all you find is remastered albums that doesn't always sound as good as the original.

I agree that the diversity is higher in the median, but disagree that the quality is higher. I live in the UK, but have spent time in the US, and for day to day shopping in the 3 cities I've spent lots of time in (SF, LA and Raleigh NC) the quality at the highest end is good but everything else is a crapshoot. Even at that most of the actual high end ingredients are European ingredients (cheese and butter, cured meats, olives) and cost 4-5x what they do in Europe. Not only that, I don't actually trust when I'm buying DOP parmesan from a us grocery store, but I know what I'm buying here.

The quality of supermarket meat in your average Tesco, or Asda ranges from acceptable to good. The quality in a Target or Walmart ranges from very very poor to good in my experience. As a textbook example the fabled wooded chicken breast is for the most part not a problem here, but was something I experienced on more than one occasion during my last month long trip to SF.
Sounds like a distinction without a difference to me.
Is really somebody surprised by such storys?
I've deliberately frozen my Spotify on the April 30th, 2021 version largely for this reason. It's one of the last versions that still supported the "classic" UI, which is much snappier and has a proper, compact songs table and a decent albums view.

Still works great with zero compatibility issues that I've noticed.

I just had a conversation with a dev manager about how the vast majority of dev teams I've encountered use maybe 5% of the tooling available to them.

Debugging using just debug tools in the IDE is just scratching the surface.

A demo I like to do is Azure Application Insights, which takes memory snapshots of web server processes in production whenever they throw exceptions. Combined with source indexing, it lets you "debug" a release build from a month ago in a matter of seconds.

Just recently I was trying to do the sales pitch to a semi-technical product manager, and he mentioned that they were seeing "occasional login issues". While on a video conference session we managed to repo the issue: after entering a valid password, the application promptly reloaded the login prompt without any error message.

Sit down and think about how long you would estimate a bug like this would take you to fix: "Occurs in prod only, infrequent, no error message, just does nothing."

App Insights helpfully had a "debug snapshot" available for the error. It was literally a single click to load it in Visual Studio. It jumped straight to the line of code that crashed, where there was a comment along the lines of "we may be too lax in parsing this". The snapshot let me inspect the variables and... yes.. a bit too lax they were.

I did this in about two minutes while chatting with the manager. Boom. Solved!

I've had similar troubleshooting sessions in the distant past that took weeks or even months to resolve, because I just didn't have the tools available to me.

Tools make all the difference, and anyone who argues against this just doesn't "get it" in my opinion. I don't care how wizard you are at shovelling, you aren't going to out-perform the back hoe.
Unconscious bias isn't real. The studies that claimed it existed don't replicate and were methodologically ridiculous to begin with.
I realised recently China has a population of 1 billion and 400 million. That's more than a billion more people than the U.S.

And they dont have democracy. They cant french revolution on their CCP thing. Im no expert but this is mostly due to surveillance right? Dont say culture please, nobody prefer autocracy to democracy but the autocrate.

This convinced me surveillance is bad.

Edit: some of you disagree. Id like the opportunity to convince you. I get it that many chinese are just happy with the regime. And actually, I dont judge that. Its certainly a cool regime in some ways. But democracy grows like weed, there is no stopping it. But with surveillance. Remove surveillance, there is democracy in China tomorrow.
Europe splits into the “olive oil / Mediterranean” countries and “butter” countries.

Also discovered this by accident recently. I have 200+ playlists and this type of search is the most reliable way of finding a saved or self-created playlist by name (looking at you "normal" Spotify search that always shows others' public playlists of the same name first).

Funny enough it's not documented, so let's see how long it will stick around for: https://support.spotify.com/kr-en/article/keyboard-shortcuts...
You have a lot of ways to discover new songs, friends, radio, YouTube. Then when you find the song that you like you can download them, possibly not from YouTube but in FLAC quality (that is better than the shitty mp3 that Spotify gives you)
I can give you my trick but it would spoil all the fun. Do you still want it or do you prefer to have fun?
(I'm the Jeff mentioned one the piece)

This is a really good critique, but the "misery trap" section feels like it is describing a problem that EA definitely had early on, but mostly doesn't now?

In early EA, people started thinking hard about this idea of doing the most good they could. Naively, this suggests doing things like giving up things that are seriously important to you (like having children), illegibily make you more productive (like a good work environment), or provide important flexibility (like having free time), and the author quotes some early EAs struggling with this conflict, like:

> my inner voice in early 2016 would automatically convert all money I spent (eg on dinner) to a fractional “death counter” of lives in expectation I could have saved if I’d donated it to good charities. Most EAs I mentioned that to at the time were like ah yeah seems reasonable

I really don't think many EAs would say "seems reasonable" now. If someone says this to me I'd give some of my personal history with this idea and talk about how it turns out that in practice this works terribly for people: it makes you miserable, very slightly increases how much you have available to donate, and massively decreases your likely long-term impact through burnout, depression, and short-term thinking.

One piece of writing that I think was helpful in turning this around was http://www.givinggladly.com/2013/06/cheerfully.html Another was https://www.benkuhn.net/box/

I think it's not a coincidence that the examples the author links are 5+ years old? If people are still getting caught in this trap, though, I'd be interested to see more? (And potentially write more on why it's not a good application of EA thinking.)

In case people are curious: Julia and I now have three kids and it's been 10+ years since stress and conflict about painful trade-offs between our own happiness and making the world better were a major issue for us.
The EU already allows governments to use spy on their citizens with stuff like Pegasus. They are just making it easier to buy and sell that kind of software.
Sometimes their algorithmic playlist is exactly what I want. For me, it has been good for discovery.

Other times I just want to play on album, from start to finish, in order, and then stop. For some reason, Spotify has trouble with the last part - stopping. There are two autoplay options and I keep turning them off and Spotify keeps turning them back on.
It works perfectly, thank you. Gonna hack into it and add more difficulty levels. Maybe it will become difficult with bigger sizes.
Couldn’t agree more.

Infrastructure/service providers cannot be allowed to continue to control the interfaces that are used to access their services.
Very much this. The same people that feed large amounts of data to an ad network in exchange for videos of puppies can also be upset when they discover something about that same company that leads them to believe they’ve been harmed.
> What matters to investors

I'm sure that there are some investors who feel like this, but "investors" is such a big group that it really doesn't make a lot of sense to speak about them as a homogeneous whole. There's the r/WSB crowd for sure, but there is also hedge funds, day traders, pension funds, family offices, sector funds, dividend focused investors, commodities traders, forex traders, distressed bond investors, HFT market makers, etc etc etc. Most of these groups are barely going to be impacted by Web3, if at all. The hype-driven FOMO crowd is a very small portion of the overall investing community.
Only reason I use Spotify (Premium = no ads) is that I don't have to manage my music anymore and I can find all the music I need / want. But holy moly it is going towards a bad direction, in fact so bad that I am considering moving to Apple Music...

Their desktop app used to have a "search bar" in their Home -view which is now moved to a separate "Search" -view, which is.. one of the most annoying things ever.

I used to boot up Spotify, hit ctrl+f, type the playlist or artist I was looking for and click.

Now it's just a mess.

Even better luck debugging in the enterprise without logging. You won’t even know which machine your code is running on and in which machine Splunk is spitting out the logs. Without printing time stamps and debug worthy information to the logs, you are fucked, period.
Way back many years ago Spotify used to be GREAT, the client was super efficient and easy to use did everything necessary, really.

But then they started butchering it more and more and now it's almost completely unusable.

I've been a paying customer since 2009 and I'm thinking of cancelling, I don't use it any more because it's just a mess.
Bread is way better in Europe than in the US. There's not even an argument to be had here. In most of Europe, you can buy bread on any street corner that is better (not to mention way cheaper) than what you get in expensive specialty bakeries in big American cities. Bread is just not something that most Americans care about, whereas it's an important part of the culture in most of Europe.

This is how capital formation works. Innovation has never been a game of investing _precisely_ the amount of money needed to create the next invention. It's precipitated by people throwing way too much money at everything, hoping to get something.

Pretending like this is some unique feature of crypto is no less disingenuous than those who say that web3 is inevitable.
