As someone with mobility impairment, putting a CD in a player and pressing buttons to play was never pleasant. In fact I was often stuck with whatever five CDs were left in the player. CDs actually haven't gone away, and you can still use them today. I am glad the world has moved on though.

Imagine living in a country with this sort of inflation and running to dollars (with 15% inflation) instead of to bitcoin. It's amazing people can't see the writing on the wall for all printable currencies in 2022.
I see how that justifies art in general, but that doesn't justify new art. If you have values that have already been expressed by other people, what's the use of producing something new? Do we need this much people working in art?
The economics of stadium names
i live in Kashmir valley which has historically survived on rice as a staple diet. even today, due to political, historical and social reasons, everyone (actually everyone) has a stock of 100-400 Kgs of rice at anytime during the year.

this "stock" is religiously followed by every household. This also means for a small family, "survival" in case of trouble is much more reasonable because like rice, historically every family just "adjusts" whatever family needs are. families do not "move out" unless there is a house ready to move into.
that means, for the most part, a family in difficult times has only daily milk and something to have with rice to survive.

i have done that, every kashmiri has been there so its pretty much normal.

About grocery stores, we still have an informal system of agriculture. there are no big chains, a farmer can bring his/her produce to a market and have small retailers who buy in small quantities (5-50kgs, depending) and sell that produce on their small shops. your "farmers market" is "the" market so the prices do not fluctuate much or like, there is no corporation that can influence prices

> Heat pumps are also a vastly overrated technology which only work for very well insulated houses with an HVAC system which keeps the rooms ventilated artificially

I live in a Japanese apartment (=absolutely terribly insulated, single pane glass, drafty as hell) and our minisplits work way better than any resistive heating we've tried. The only other heaters we use are radiant heaters to heat your body quickly if you don't need to heat the rest of the room.

I don't see how "method that heats air using less energy" can be worse than "method that heard air using more energy". Both are just heating air.
> 1/3,000 risk of death in surgery is like sacrificing yourself to save 3,000 people

If I’m being honest with myself, I’m entirely sure I would ever sacrifice myself to save 3,000 random strangers.

There are movies like (spoiler alert) Failsafe which explore how difficult the choice of self-sacrifice is to save even 3 BILLION people, let alone 3,000.
Still building the complicated website (maps and video and calculators), so its not yet online.

I currently send out a spreadsheet brochure every week with new rural lands and tiny or mobile house and van conversion options to choose from.
I do virtual tours around the nature reserve or farm lands online, augmented by Google Earth and Streetview tours with video conference sessions. I shoot video tours and photo galleries of the available lands and houses.
Most of the time its more like a coaching session, explaining how to get a visa, how to find reliable remote programming jobs, how to get a loan. Explaining why its very hard to make the transition without my professional help.

Some want to buy a turnkey house, land and infrastructure. This is possible but moving to a rural existence is much more involved than these customers think. A sales website would not convey this, this is why I prefer online tours and discussions.

Full price list has no pricing for ingress/egress. None whatsoever. For anything.

None of the basic pricing looks particularly competitive, but if that isn't an omission then that could be interesting
Yeah, this was the one I came looking for. Inverted pork anuses look just like calamari. If you’re not getting tentacles you’re getting pig butthole.
This is yet another attempt to put something together on top of Openstack and sell it as an alternative to the big three cloud providers. As a German, it always annoys me when crap like this is presented as "made in Germany". No sign-up process, no IaC first approach, documentation is a joke.
No,thanks.
This is what I always do and it works fine

I've always wondered if the Dlang docs are intentionally kept vague and cryptic.
Living in the UK, of the 3 I only get access to good (and bad) fish and chips. I used to live in the Boston area and fried clams or steamers were a particular thing my dad used to go nuts for. I loved them too and miss them dearly. I had no idea that HoJo's sold them. In fact I think I only remember going to a HoJo's once in my life
I love video games, but consider reading books to you children. Much better, deeper stories and less violence!
Probably because Undertale is not really non-violent. Even a perfect-pacifist playthrough requires the use of violence.
It even works in prod: send the appropriate signal to a node process, pipe the default debug port through ssh and open your node devtools locally. This has saved me so many hours.
I mean, it's not as if the bar is that high within the EU, specially that now UK is gone so London is not officially a contestant for the title of tech capital of Europe.
I always thought the device minor number of /dev/zero should control which number you get, so you can also make useful devices like /dev/seven with minor number 7 for an infinite source of beeps, or /dev/newline with a minor number 10 for an infinite source of newlines, and /dev/rubout with minor number 127 for an infinite source of rubouts.

Reminds me I should revisit Myst and Riven.
Yes - fair point - we've tried that, and that's a counter-example to my generalisation. However, I'd discounted/forgotten it because the versions I've tried almost don't count as bread in my mind, as it's so seed-heavy that it doesn't have much structural integrity and falls apart very easily!
Country that had high inflation forever blames Covid supply chain disruptions and "supply-demand mismatches". It doesn't help but it's not the problem either.
How much of the cost discrepancy was due to issues inherent with AWS, versus extremely poor engineering on the part of the startup? As a trivial example, I too can rack up a massive cloud bill by provisioning a 128 core VM for a web app that only sees a few thousand hits per day. But the massive bill isn’t the fault of the cloud provider; it’s the fault of my own bad engineering choices.
This service isn't for you. At least not for now. This service right now is for already big companies, probably non-IT ones, looking to outsource their datacenter needs, in a GDPR compliant manner, and looking to do more "digital" in the future. These kinds of players do not look for one-click solutions, they are looking for actual people to discuss their individual requirements.

Maybe latter on this thing will do AWS-style provisioning and services, but right now that doesn't even seem to be a current goal.

>They claim they are the German AWS

I see some media claim their are that, but it doesn't look like they themselves make that claim.
Great post!

We just did the flip and it was painful.

I’d add that in Germany there are archaic requirements that all documents need to be signed in person on paper in front of a notary. Such a waste of time & money.
I did not read GP as attacking a point you (haven't) made. It's merely extra information.

There is also the UK Ltd as an option. Can also be done from home. It’s a possible replacement for a UG or even GmbH. AFAIK SoundCloud initially used this model.
There's a whole best-selling book about it:

The press releases by the Schwarz Group never even mention AWS, only indirectly by pointing out "digital sovereignty" when using a Germany-based company instead of a "foreign cloud hoster".

Calling Stackit an "AWS competitor" is most likely just editorialization by the 3rd party media.

The target customer are companies which are just barely moving away from self-hosted hardware.

I have no idea where you or the author are getting this racism idea from. Is it because the Vikings were mostly white and known for violence? And somehow this magically "gives rise to racism"?

Either I'm not understanding or this is an incredibly lazy argument.
The beauty of piracy is that people go through an effort to share what they like, not what some company wants to push on you, which rewards high quality.
I think the main reason is that it is slower than having a mental model.

One reason it is slower is that it is is difficult to create a map like diagram where you zoom in to get greater detail.
> “In order to start a GmbH in Germany you will need to buy-in. While you can most likely lend the money, it’s a risk you need to keep in mind. If you’re a solo-entrepreneur, that’s a whooping 25.000€ for you.”

That sounds pretty uncompetitive when compared to other EU countries such as Spain and the Netherlands, where it's 3000€ and 0.01€ respectively. In Ireland it's also 25.000€, but corporate taxes are much, much lower.
Big swinging necks.
Yep.

If you were going to do a raid/piracy, you would have said "I'm going a viking", or "Im going a plundering". And settlements not under your control were ripe targets for that - they were on YOUR territory.

And having been in a proper Norse longboat, those things are nigh silent. And seeing 50 of them land on the shore at early morning fog, would be terrifying.
This argument is very well made.

But I will say that this doesn't seem unusual to me; there seems to be a "missing middle" in many situations. For instance, in business, it's easy to get capital for things that are a sure thing - "for the past decade, every dollar we have put into this initiative has generated three dollars of revenue" will get funded every time - and also often pretty easy to get funding for high risk but high reward initiatives - "this is unlikely to work but if it does, every dollar invested will return one hundred dollars" - but it's pretty hard to get funding for medium risk / medium reward initiatives - "this will probably work, and if it does it will be a stable small business".

I think the same thing is going on here, and maybe it even makes sense.
A decade or so ago, I was tasked with auto-generating documentation, including diagrams (super- and subclasses, to begin with), of a fairly large system in a domain-specific language developed over the past couple of decades. The language had a kind of multiple inheritance (a traitlike system), and at the time around 1500 types/classes/traits/mixins/whatevers, with the entire system all queryable at runtime (and indeed that’s how I generated it—someone else provided Python bindings to the system, then I traversed it all in Python). Just to amuse myself, I generated one class diagram of the entire system. It was around 30 metres wide and I think 30cm high when I zeroed all the margins and padding I could in GraphViz. Flipping its orientation, I got it to be 15 metres tall and almost 1 metre wide. I figured it could be fun physical wallpaper for the office, but in the end settled for just a labelless rendering with random line colours as a desktop background. It was pretty.

But more seriously, it depends on how complex the system is and how it’s modelled. The case I was working with then transferred excellently to such diagrams (shallow and deep inheritance, and other forms of composition and linkage, with every box a link) and key-value property sheets about the types and the likes, but I don’t think I’ve encountered another system where anything even vaguely like that would work particularly well.

Jeez all of my friends and family and I use Spotify and not once have we had issues like this. Luckily there are plenty of other streaming services to use mate
That is really sweet, I love it! You've both done a really fantastic job.
Undertale too, in a similar genre. You don't have to fight almost anyone ever, and that's how you get the best ending.
When I try to think of European tech companies I think SAP and Spotify. There’s just nothing remotely comparable to Silicon Valley in Continental Europe, Switzerland included. London and Tel Aviv are each very far ahead of the closest European startup hub, Berlin and there’s just nothing there.

I understand the urge to look for something to find pride in somewhere but aiding regulation isn’t something normal people are aware of, never mind proud of.

I've now given close to $75,000 to Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) - my primary place of donations; and probably over $25,000 to other organizations (some deworming, but most of it focusing on animal welfare). In addition, I've organized some book-sales for charity at my college and had some birthday-for-charity events which together netted more some donations. The events were great opportunities to talk to many people about this cause I'm passionate about. I know for sure I've helped inspire many people to make effective giving and doing good a bigger part of their lives and that may be even a bigger positive than the direct donations I've already made.

According to GiveWell, AMF is a highly cost-effective charity. A rough summary is a $2 donation results in protecting about 2 people for about 4 years (cost of nets has fluctuated over the decade). I am confident that because of my donations I have prevented thousands of cases of malaria from happening (so children can go to school, parents can go to work, etc). As a bonus it probably prevented many needless deaths. https://www.givewell.org/charities/amf

Personally it makes me happy that I've been able to help avert misery and pain. If I have a bad day, it can be a very cheerful thought to remind myself of the good I've contributed to individuals (even though I'll never meet them).
Where are these plots of land?
I have used visualization generation tools but have found them of limited utility to me. When the generator is built into an IDE, the artifact it generates is less useful than the IDE itself, which typically provides a structural (symbol tree) view of the code as well as symbolic navigation ("Go to definition/references").

A visualization can be helpful as an artifact for non-technical colleagues, but I always end up hand-rolling those diagrams to highlight a specific aspect of the system and hide irrelevant features.

Honest question because I don’t understand most of the comments on this submission: what’s supposed to be the issue with cooperating with law enforcement?

I personally find mass dragnet-like unsupervised surveillance extremely worrying especially in the US where federal authorities like to abuse gag orders. But that’s not what we are talking about here. In this case we are speaking about judicially supervised data gathering in the context of an ongoing investigation. I have no issue with this as long as there is proper limits and supervisions in place.
To align the cutout with Waldo, you need to know where he is. Since the entire picture would be hidden behind the mask, the other person won't know where in the picture that location is, but by aligning the mask cutout you can prove _your_ knowledge about Waldo's location.

Yeah, the audacity of offering this and calling it "AWS Rival". Yeah buddy.
Sure, but fault aside, you still just got into a highway-speed car accident. I don't get to decide if the person behind me is a reckless driver or not and "but the law says it's not my fault" doesn't do away with any injuries or damage to my car that happens because of it. There's plenty of completely legal things you can do that will create unsafe situations on the road, and you get a mark on your insurance for getting in the accident whether or not it's your legal fault that it happened (as I found out when I lost the front half of my car to flying road debris.)
Audio quality was garbage then too.

Not as bad as you might suppose.

My wife has a 1983 Panasonic turntable/radio/cassette player that she uses sometimes. We're talking about low build quality, hot pink, designed for the bedroom of a 12-year-old girl who will listen while simultaneously squeeing on a three-way call on a Garfield phone. It's not bad. Neither of us have perfect hearing, and are far from audiophiles.

The key is the right media for the right device.

When she's playing brand new, 180-gram, super-hipster vinyl, her expensive modern gear in the living room is where it sounds best.

But when she's playing a 1983 copy of Girls Just Want To Have Fun, it sounds best on the pink Panasonic. Pretty much any record made before 2000 sounds better on the period-correct turntable, compared with the high-end player, and vice-versa.

She will only listen to cassettes — new or old — on the 1983 machine, even though she has a Panasonic cassette boom box that she bought in Japan in 2019. The old gear just sounds better.

More and more she's been finding music on Apple Music during her lunch hour, then buying the vinyl or cassette to listen to the music at home. Again, she's not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but she finds the sound of analog much more pleasant. To me, it's pretty close, but less "sterile," for lack of a better word.
It doesn't mention why this, and not actual batteries.
> Mushrooms specifically are time consuming to clean in any non symbolic quantity.

FWIW, in my ~10 year professional cooking career I think I've washed a batch of mushrooms a grand total of 2 times, only because they were uncommonly dirty. You've probably eaten unwashed mushrooms many times in restaurants. Eating a little dirt probably isn't going to hurt you. If there's anything pathogenic on them a rinse in water isn't going to do much.
Anything that can create dependency is a vice, hence the word being an analogy of a physical vice to something that takes hold of you, and while we can use it, we have to recognize it can take hold. Vices aren't sins, they're just inessential and can also be limitations. We respect that physical tools can be dangerous, and we should treat psychological ones with the same respect.

Drugs aren't concretely like sport, but they can have an effect of putting someone in a more sport-like state of mind, though without the competence, skill and moderation of an athelete. If you are on a snowboard at the bottom of a good run you are likely in that moment your peak 'unbuffered' self, and the effect of that is relating to the world with the acceptance of someone who feels they are in a moral equillibrium. Drugs (recreational or psychoactive) can also provide or support that feeling of balance and equillibrium (or intensity), as that's what makes them desirable. Drugs are a tool, but when you use them, you've already accepted that you need them, whereas sport has a completely different orientation to an objective. It's "practice and get better" vs. "use a substance to manage something suboptimal." That is, drugs can be fun and useful, but they are inferior to sport in that they're the option we take when we don't have something to practice to become better at. It's ok to be in that state, but I'm just saying there are just better ones to be in.
Surely they just wade.
I don't think The Witness is pretentious. Pretentious means "attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed", but The Witness really is as deep and meaningful as it acts like it is if one bothers to be open to all it is saying in all of the ways it is saying it.

I found several to be un-fun, but yes, that's part of how Jon explores the conceptual space of a puzzle. If he didn't include those puzzles then he feels the exploration would be incomplete. The player would be left wondering "What if..." and I think these puzzles are sort of Jon's way of saying "That would suck. Trust me, I checked.".
To me, "effective altruism" would be ordinary altruism--which is an instinct, and not something you can teach or unteach--but with practices and guards for identifying and avoiding parasites. Skimming through this article, it would seem that they mean the opposite.
