It’s worth noting that said podcast is (or was, at least) #1 on Patreon in terms of number of people paying money to the creator(s). I bet that makes it really popular on Spotify, and if you have explicit content turned on, that’s probably why it was recommended.

There should still be a master “turn off podcasts” button, although since it’s the only way Premium subscribers are still exposed to ads, fat chance of that happening.

There was a press release last year because they're an Apple partner. I have high hopes but I keep remembering that Theranos had a lot of promise too.
I know some of my dudes running tor services on turkish-part of Cyprus and believe me they really care about their customers due to the competitive nature of the business.
There is a great website someone put up called “sort my music” and also “organize your music”. If you google those terms they are the first and second result.

It will allow you to sort Spotify playlists by a number of hidden variables like BPM and year of release. You can also export/copy paste the tables that it generates in the process.

Not perfect and might not fit your exact use case, but wanted to let HN know.
Turkish banks still have foreign currency accounts and its not being confiscated by government in any way (so far). Exhcnage rates from EUR / USD to Turkish Lira is generally extremely close to FX rate. Ziraat exchange rate is better than one of Wise when markets are open..

And for those in Turkey who worry about economy and banks failing there are crypto exchange on every corner. You can turn USDT into USD cash and other way around for 2-3% fee.
They need to improve their software to the point that the quality/price/convenience of Apple Music is more attractive than quality/price/convenience of the alternative. Since Apple Music is basically pre-installed and you get it as part of Apple One or whatever, there is a quality gap that they can accept and still grow the service. And they will, it's just basic economics.

If anybody knows of a software company that uses their excess money to make the software better instead of beefing up their balance sheet, please, hook me up. That's where I want to work.
Encryption doesn't matter if Telegram has the keys.

If you put the key next to a locked door it doesn't matter if you lock the door.

Real encryption means that even Telegram couldn't decrypt it.
I know their Privacy Policy is pretty standard but if you look at the background of the founders it all deals in selling data. I would be very careful using them for email.

The Amish seem to be a functioning society that have shunned the advances of automation - despite Pandora's box" of industrialization being opened (which of course has directly led to the pursuit of ever-increasingly capable automated and autonomous systems).

Like they picked a point in time and said "nope, we're good with the way things are" while the rest of us moved on. I've always referred to this as "evolution-locking" (actively choosing not to evolve).

Sometimes, in the rat-race world we live in, in all of it's superficial splender, I fantasize about that simple life. Then I think about manually plowing a field in black wool slacks on a hot summer day and I quickly come to my senses.

There are certainly modern varients of evolution locking factions. Folks living "off-grid". I think our collective decision to outlaw the technical evolution of chemical warfare agents has been a triumph of collective evolution locking. Same (I hope) will be the case for global environmental controls thwarting the evolution of carbon-emitting machinery and products composed of non-sustainable materials.

Write your manifesto and see if others will join. I probably won't, because I'm too curious to see what's on the other side of the signularity and I think more good will come from it than bad, but I'll read your manifesto and give it some thought.
AFAICT in modern times with modern government surveillance and weapons, instead of uprisings and coups, what we see instead are the quiet evacuation of the best and brightest, which then spirals a country into further decay over the course of a few years.

Stop trying to make metaverse happen.
Not GP. But I think your comment would be more meaningful if you elaborated on “people” (like which people you’re referring to). Telegram markets itself as a secure messenger and its CEO has written many a times about WhatsApp being worse for security and privacy. I don’t think a non-tech person can differentiate well between these.
gdb claims it. I have not once ever gotten it to work, however. For anything seemingly larger than a trivial program, the reverse-execution state grows too big and needs to be pruned. I also don't think it supports such fancy things as "floating point".

I guess Lidl targets German Mittelstand and DAX40 companies that already have outsourced to other cloud vendors or are in trouble with their legacy infrastructure.

How many of the startups you have in mind didn't switch their infra once they grew? I know not a single one.

I suspect people not caring is not the main underlying cause of despots.
I know it's more of a joke, but some people might think this might actually happen. Here is why not:

The Schwarz Group (Lidl's parent, as well as Kaufland's parent) is the largest privately held company in Germany and the largest retailer in the EU. While it's not owned by the Schwarz brothers anymore, as they have died, they transferred their ownership into a "non-profit" "charitable" foundation upon death. The foundation itself is in turn controlled by other foundations, which are then controlled by a mix of family members and hired trustees. Selling this is virtually impossible, as everybody would have to agree.

While Schwarz is small compared to Amazon (~143 billion USD vs ~470 billion USD in 2021 revenue), they aren't exactly a lightweight either. Look what "tiny" twitter (barely over 1 billion USD in revenue) is gonna cost a Musk...

Maybe at some point Schwarz might sell off just the cloud stuff. But if it's gonna be profitable they are unlikely to. And it's likely profitable or close to it from day one, as they already did most the hard work to support their internal IT needs. And they are a big name brand around here, known to do things "right" in their space (unlike e.g. Telekom/T-Systems) and a lot of German and European players have been looking at GDPR-compliant EU-based alternatives to AWS for quite a while.

Turkish person. We’ve founded a startup in November, local and global developments making me a bit worried. Since then everything is almost 2-3x expensive. Most visible and absurd thing to see is that People drive their cars noticably slowly so that they consume less. People dont go out as they used to. Driving in summer vacation and spending a few days would cost a signifcant sum. Even if earning foreign currency, everything feels very expensive.
British "Ben Fogle New Lives in the Wild" and Dutch "Floortje naar het einde van de wereld" are over 100 documentairies on this theme. A few of them where programmers who quit their jobs and started a small homestead farm or go to the wilderness and hunt. The majority are young families going for sustainable living.
Another large group buys rural houses, fixes them up and rents them out as B&B rooms. They also have their own documentairies.
The latest group are youtubers who document their move into the country.
The lessons from these examples are that almost no one could earn a living from the farming. They all had problems with local laws. They all have unfixable infrastructure problems, especially for remote working c.q. programming jobs.
Many had to break off when they became sick or went bankrupt. Its is very hard, so I started a business to help make the transition.

I am trying to make a business combining the two extremes. I sell rural or remote wilderness land with a high-tech solar off grid tiny house with very good internet for around $50.000. At any moment I have around 10 suitable plots of land on offer. The best are in nature reserves, the largest 100 acres.
It takes on average 24 months or more to find land, get permits, build the road, water, electricity and internet infrastructure and move the mobile tiny house onto the land. Spain, Portugal and Arizona mostly.

This is for programmers and other remote workers, retirees or people who can't afford a house in the city.
Since Covid there has been an large increase in people moving to remote rural locations. Most of them homestead, some take on the #vanlife.

A new trend will be permanent living in a mobile house, RV, bus, truck while working remotely. This only becomes affordable with Starlink and an electrical truck completely plated with solar panels. Water is purified onboard.

I expect the trend of going rural or mobile to increase even more in the next 10 years. I'm looking for cofounders to accommodate this increase in my business niche.

Asimov and Larry Niven wrote some science fiction stories before 1970 on this theme. When Star Trek transporters become possible, you could go live remotely on or inside a mountain or another planet.

Chris Stewart's "Driving Over Lemons" is a nice book describing the move into the country.

Do you have any information about what happened?

(context: my son is DT1) We learn (in France) that hypoglycemia can lead to unconsciousness, but cannot be fatal as the liver will eventually take over and release glucose to the organism, as it always does for healthy persons. Glucagen injection is the way to get this release to happen fast, but it can be delayed if necessary.
Germany is generally quite corporate. Yes, there is a large number of small, family owned, niche, businesses, but those don't really play in the IT space that much.

Outside of that, it's just the Deutsche Banks, Daimlers, Bosches and Bayers of the world.

And those are in general much more rigid than the equivalent US companies.

Which in the field of software is suicide. There's a reason we call it "software".
I think we need to consider the level of competition when we consider fair. At a minimum in elementary and middle school we should let people play sports with their friends according to their preferred identity. I can see being more cautious about restrictions when scholarships to university or professional play is on the line, but the fairness criteria seems far less important than letting kids be kids for early ages.

I used to live in London, UK, but have started software companies/organisations in California, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and been deeply involved with a h/w and s/w startup in Bangalore. We started an company to build circular food production systems, based in Sweden. We have fish, vegetables and insects. It is on a farm, but we are not traditional farmers.

When we are talking about cloud and digital services there is nothing protectionist about it. The amount of powers all countries spy agencies have over cloud platforms is scary.
Syberia is a good one.

Yeah, but the thing is, why would they switch away from AWS/Azure/... unless forced to by regulation? Existing cloud providers can scale to planet sized businesses.
They wouldn't be, which is why I believe this forced return to office action just filters out high-performers who wish to remain remote and it retains almost all of the low/medium skill workers and almost all of the high-skill no preference or work in office preferred high skill workers.
Not to Germans it's not. Not to the EU countries in general, with GDPR compliance hovering over their heads, it's not.

The reputation when it comes to "tech" as in "IT" is not stellar for sure, but it's not unrecoverable bad, and you're forgetting political dimensions.

The advantage is rapid burst scaling. Some businesses have workloads that only require a handful of small servers for most of the year, but for short periods of time require hundreds or even thousands of servers to process sudden workload bursts. Some examples:

* e-commerce sites around holidays; ticketing sites right before popular events

* internet fora that get sudden influxes of traffic (e.g. Reddit)

* scientific computing projects that occasionally require huge batch jobs using (hundreds of) thousands of cores [0]

You are correct that for the majority of businesses, whose workload requirements minimally and predictably fluctuate, cloud providers are a rip off. But for the few use cases actually requiring massive transient scaling, there is no viable alternative.

Phone call culture is real in Germany lol.

It's pretty maddening sometimes, I'd write emails that include everything they might need to know, yet they insist on calling back just to read the emails and confirm every point.

Except for the pharmaceuticals. We still rely on the inventions that happened in WW2.

As far as I understand Erdogan created the situation himself and fired everybody who would disagree. I don’t think he plans to get the inflation under control.
TL;DR: The author tried to transition into Product Management after underestimating the difficulty of becoming a Product Manager, but failed. He then wasn’t performing well at his engineering work, was PIPed, and resigned before they could fire him.

> Unfortunately, my manager started to notice. In a heated performance review that lasted over 2 hours, he told me that I needed to 1) be more engaged in this migration and 2) be more communicative. In his words, I had to improve in these areas “if I wished to remain on the team.”

I’m actually kind of baffled that the author used this story as a hook to get people to subscribe to his Substack for career advice.
> I can access basically every song ever recorded

Not really, there is a lot missing from Spotify, and not just obscure music. And you have to accept the fact that music may (and does) go missing at any time.

Plus, even for songs that are on the platform, you are forced to listen to what version they have, which is almost always a "remastered" version. Example: early Beatles songs have vocals hard-panned to one side, which sounds terrible on headphones. It sounds way better on the original mono version.

Spotify is a mediocre experience at best for music nerds, which is probably what the person you're responding to is (has an amp and speakers, vinyl, etc).
I would be surprised if the overhead of TTD is typically 40x, given that it records multithreaded processes in parallel. Which, to my knowledge, rr does not.

It also supports selective recording so, if this is configured (e.g. selecting certain functions), only a subset of the process execution is actually committed to the trace file, further reducing the overhead.
It's still not the same thing as not having that data, at all.

Once you have the encrypted data somewhere, and if you really need to, it's just a game of time. At some point the old encryption will be broken.

Well placed and performant logging can be absolutely crucial:

- for a simple bug, it can allow to understand the root cause and fix the problem before even reproducing it

- for a tricky bug, it can help understand how to reproduce it, and verify that you are reproducing the correct one - and then comfortably explore it in a debugger.

Natural Gas to electric energy conversion happens at a higher efficiency. Millions are invested to ensure that.

In addition every gas to heat thing can't be decarbonised (electricity to gas won't work at this scale and would be hugely inefficient) to negative emissions.
Hey HN! Lane the creator here.

A couple years ago I was working as an engineering manager, and my wife was working as an x-ray tech. Frankly, she was a bit jealous of the work-life balance I had, the pay, the work from home, etc. I started looking for a program she could take online to get into coding and was super disappointed.

It seemed like everywhere I looked, at least a few of the following problems were present:

- Bootcamps are expensive and risky
- Video courses don't have you to writing enough code
- Many curriculums weren't structured in linear paths
- CS concepts were skipped over, dropping students straight into hot new frameworks
- Old languages and technologies were being used, when more modern alternatives exist (Why would I want to learn Python 2??)

Anyhow, I started building boot.dev about 2 years ago, and just have been plugging away at it on the side of my full-time job. I'm excited to hear any feedback :)
Look up Grice's Maxims sometime. Conversations have context. The context here is a comment section for an article about a nation state requesting chats from Telegram. The only relevant kind of encryption that would be able to prevent this is end-to-end encryption; in such a context, 'Telegram is unencrypted' is easily and near-universally understood to refer to E2E encryption, even if absent such context the meaning would be less clear.

A better rain analogy would be someone saying 'I'd like to go for a smoke, is it raining', and you reply 'yes' because there is somewhere in the world where it is raining (just not there). You would be technically correct, but in the context of the question, the person was clearly interested in whether it was raining _there_.
Personally, I think all three are equal. Each have merits and pros and cons. What we should do is leave people to decide what arrangement works best for them. Though companies can also decide what they think works best for their organization, in which case employees may have to leave or join new organizations depending on their work preferences or their options.

All this to say here in response that I'm increasingly irritated at the, what's the right word? Polarization? Radicalization? Politicization? Of work options and how those options are creating new tribes and battlegrounds.
For those wanting an alternative, do give Tidal a trial (there are services that can port over your playlists).

Pros: You can view almost everything as a list, although their UI is optimized for touch screens - so the rows are rather large. Their radio rivals Pandora in terms of properly understanding your tastes.

Cons: After a very quick look, I don't think they do podcasts. Their API support is utter shit, 3rd party clients aren't a possibility, and there is no Linux client. You have to use the their client for "master" quality (which isn't bit-perfect and is definitely snake oil).

Having tried Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Play, Pandora, and Qobuz, I have found that Tidal is comfortably the best.

Amazon Music is a very close second, but suffers from what I call the "Armin Effect". Armin van Buuren plays many genres of electronic music, and so inferior recommendation engines tend to connect this huge umbrella of genres through Armin. Your taste in music may not be affected by this problem. Tidal and Pandora are the only two services I have used that don't suffer from this.

The Talos Principle is also quite relaxing. The puzzles, which are clever and interesting, could have been implemented in any setting, but I found the 'roman/egyptian ruins in the sun' atmosphere quite soothing.

I can't imagine most romanians are happy with their land being so cheap overall (and their economy not doing great) so I doubt most people living there would object to the local land prices going up (that's a good thing).
Second that, Snapcast is great and the multi room feature is magical. Every friend that comes over lets out a wow when they hear the music synchronized in the kitchen, living room and patio at the same time.

You don't need to enable HTTPS for those use cases. Your Plex and Nextcloud will work just fine.

If you configure your server to send a HSTS header, though, you're telling your browser to only trust HTTPS connections for that domain from then on. That's what's happening here, and that's something you just… shouldn't do, I guess? If I tell my browser to permanently redirect localhost to Google.com, there's no reason why I should be mad at my browser for listening to my perma redirect.

HTTP traffic is a bigger problem in huge, flat, corporate networks, running intranet services with routes spanning several locations. At any time a hacker could be listening in an exfiltrating company logins. Also think about the Snowden slides, where the NSA intercepted unencrypted traffic over Google's internal network. Local network encryption is essential in those use cases and relatively easy to set up.
