I do the same - buy CDs, rip, archive CD away in a box as my backup. I don't delete though. I approach my huge collection as stuff I know I have, and who knows - sometimes I'll listen to something I haven't felt like hearing in a decade, so I like knowing it's there if I hunt for it.

I do agree with your post - the UI is bad. Even with the tiny buttons, a better UI would be nice. It seems to be designed for people with relatively small collections. I find this a lot - devices that market to audiophiles emphasize sound quality as all that matters, but often ignores that audiophiles may also have massive music collections. They usually suck on the "how does the audiophile organize and find the music they want to hear through that fancy expensive hardware" aspect.
>So, let’s make the game a bit more interesting. Let us assume that every time Lara dies, she leaves behind a corpse in that location for future incarnations of Lara to encounter... Then Lara will start noticing the following phenomenon (assuming she survives at all): whenever she navigates any particularly tricky puzzle, she usually encounters a number of corpses which look uncannily like herself.

"Selene explores the planet and is shocked when she comes across corpses of herself. She learns that every time she dies, time loops back to the moment she crashed, sending her back to her starting point. The planet seems to change with every loop, and Selene begins experiencing vivid visions."
IRS does offer payment plans at least for some types of tax debt. But really, if you need a car but are unable to get $6000 to obtain one, I'm not sure if you have that much better luck in the used car market, since a car would still require some thousands that you either need to have at hand, or get a loan to. If you can't get a loan for a $6000 new car, can you get a loan for a $3000 used car?

With all due respect, (big) servers care about energy costs a lot, at least as much as mobile phones. By the way, out of the manages languages Java has the lowest energy consumption. RAM takes the same energy whether filled or not.

Just because GC can be a bottleneck doesn’t mean it is bad or that alternatives wouldn’t have an analog bottleneck. Of course one should try to decrease the number of allocations (the same way you have to do in case of RC as well), but there are certain allocation types that simply have to be managed. For those a modern GC is the best choice in most use case.
I was also about to come here and say "this sounds a lot like a checklist". The Checklist Manifesto is one of those books that should be really boring but is both valuable and well written and I recommend to everyone.

I always found it neat, especially with the ubuntu colors and fonts. Aesthetically stimulating, really.
TechCrunch on Odysee:
The plan is to eventually make money from advertising, with creators given full control over how they monetize. Individual viewers, meanwhile, will also be able to pay to skip ads, even if it’s just for one video.
In lots of cases, this is demonstrably not true. Sure some scammers might make millions but many make much less. Look at the average cost for prison, the cost of the police and Courts and it can add up to much more.

I'm not saying that you should only jail people if it's cheaper but society cannot afford to incarcerate everybody who commits a crime, not only for the money but the effect it has on ex-cons who can't find work and spiral downwards; families growing up with parents in prison; hardening a soft criminal by jailing them with hard criminals.

Sadly, it is much more complicated than we want to admit and there aren't many good alternatives that I have seen. Tends to be quite polarised "never jail people" or "always jail people".
A managed cluster is not as much managed as you would think. Still have to configure and install a lot of things yourself.
Unity had a lot of features for power users as well (good default shortcuts for ex.) and the global menu was a godsend on smaller screens.

So I wouldn't say it's really an either-or scenario, just that tastes differ.
Another anecdote: I am using ferrous bisglycinate instead of ferrous gluconate (Floradix) - it is even easier to take and absorbs well. I find it ridiculous that doctors still prescribe ferrous sulfate when these exist.
Ah shoot and P.S.: so if at one point some guy was flipping switches to get the first computer programmed, how do you do that with things like quantum computers?
I'm not sure what would you like to simulate, but in the economy, you build models with a set of features you assume should influence the outcome, and then you can measure how well your model explains the reality.

I'm not sure if you're right that such a simulator would be valuable. The thing is that we already can explain quite well what's happening and have the means to fix stuff, but frequently there's no political will to do so.
k8s can be easy to set up, and if you know how to use it then you should. You shouldn't go to the trouble of learning it, but if you do know it already, then there is no reason not to go with services like gke autopilot.

The main issue I find with the RSS readers is that it doesn't cover commenting (maybe that is by design, I'm not sure). So if I have to login to a separate page/app for commenting, then might as well directly read over there. Though I don't have a lot of separate sources for my articles so maybe my concern isn't "mainstream".
You can never guarantee that! Even if the law was able to be that clear-cut about a particular crime, plenty of people would still believe they will get away with it, otherwise there would be no hard crime in the world right?
Lists like this tend to be a bit overwhelming without context, because a definition can often seem to focus on things that don't make sense if you don't understand the use case, even if you understand the words.

Even if you've read the definition of functor first

> Lifting is when you take a value and put it into an object like a functor. If you lift a function into an Applicative Functor then you can make it work on values that are also in that functor.

Is a pretty rough sentence for someone not familiar. I think Elm does a pretty good job of exposing functional features without falling into using these terms for them, and by simplifying it all.

It does pay for that in terms of missing a lot of the more powerful functional features in the name of keeping it simple, but I do think it makes it a great entry-point to get the basics, especially with how good the errors are, which is very valuable when you are learning.

I know it's a controversial language on HN to some extent (I certainly have my own issues with it shakes fist at CSS custom properties issue), but I genuinely think it's a great inroad to functional programming.
That's kind of what's going on here already. If the company is able to resume withdrawals then everyone is going to withdraw and it's over. If the company is not able to do so then it's ultimately going to be liquidated, and then it's over. What isn't clear is how and when the depositors want that to happen. There are going to be positions where you could liquidate now at a loss, or you could wait it out and that position is whole or at a profit. Who gets to decide?

It's less bad overall if the company suspends withdrawals and tries to sort it out in an orderly manner than if it just hastily liquidated everything to survive the run until the moment of running out of assets to deliver.

Being independent of AWS stuff. Kubernetes community is much larger than ECS/Fargate, so many things already have been solved by others.

Also something like karpenter.sh is much nicer than ec2 autoscaling group.
Honestly diversity is a good thing. It's good that different people are trying to solve problems at the heart of software in different ways as it creates new perspectives and possibilities. Now, after reading these replies I'm really curious about stuff like darklang and Bazel.

What happens is that people don't understand that most of these higher level solutions are very leaky abstractions, they aren't the silver bullet marketed in medium articles. Yes, they can save you a lot of time and headaches in specific scenarios but when you encounter one of the leaks it can take you weeks to get to the bottom of it.

If the teams doesn't understand what problems the tool is solving and if they have that problem then they might be just cargo-culting. An example of this is kubernetes. I know teams that used kubernetes just because everybody else is using it, they didn't actually need it for their monolithic java spring app. They think they avoided accidental complexity by using kubernetes but in fact they just added accidental complexity to their project. And then they add a new tool that makes it easier to manage the complexity of kubernetes, and so on.

Anyway, I'm probably just a rambling fool and I should appreciate that all this generating and shifting around of accidental complexity will actually mean future job safety for guys like us.
I don't think that works. A router should decrement the TTL of the frame, and thus showing that there is a router between the host device. The linux default is 64 and windows is 128 IIRC, so you can easily deduce the OS just from looking at the TTL. This can tell you whether an ipv4 device is directly connected. From there, you just need to look at IP ID in the packet and figure out which ones are increasing independently to determine individual devices behind the NAT.

So, no. NAT gives you 0 privacy.
Canonical and Unity went to the direction of Mir/phones/cars but then they gave up, and Unity died.
Yes..."Sony" is probably better seen as a group, with a lot of different entities doing their thing almost independently (not even talking about their entertainment and financing branch, really just the main bloc)

For instance Sony's audio branch is probably completely separate from the camera branch, which is separate from the TV branch, which doesn't talk to the EV car branch. I don't know if financially they are separate companies, but from what I got they are clearly cut divisions.

I imagine them as an archipelago of products and services, all under a common flag, but only talking to each others by delegations.

For instance Sony has a NFC venture that is really good with encryption and hardware data transfers, it's even integrated in their VAIO computer line. Yet their Network Walkman was an utter pile of poop when it came to move songs from the computer to the encrypted MD disc.
with popcorn you are simultaneously distributing, and that is the main problem
Freenet is built around similar ideas, combined with encryption an anonymization. Which hopefully adds the benefit of you not being legally liable of distributing CSAM. The gist of Freenet is that you can operate a freesite or upload files, and the content is redundantly dispersed in encrypted parts among a number of other Freenet peers. They don't know what they're hosting and neither do you, the client just fills up the allotted space and uses some bandwidth, that's all.

Regarding of how easy to make something like this network, I'd wager it's pretty hard. There will be a lot of questions, even while establishing the happy path, for example how you manage the updates, especially when you update the protocol, not just the software, and how you effectively manage the volume of search requests, how you distribute the files etc.

And then there's the abuse the network will inevitably get. How you handle spammers, CSAM, malware, ISPs that throttle/block you, the legal risk you put your clients up to, etc. Nice big can of worms. To begin opening it, I suggest a reading through Wikipedia's Peer to peer file sharing article, and especially the File sharing modal on the right, which nicely captures the ideas that have been tried so far.

I think PTP is somewhat doable, but it will take some years to get there. BTN is impossible unless you know people. Both are overkill for your average media needs and it makes no sense for most people to work that effort. TPB/BTDigg has pretty much everything you could want and usenet still exists without all the ratio/maintenance hassle. The Plex Servers are a good alternative if you want convenience. My feeling is that the tracker community is getting smaller and smaller. The new generation is more in the google-drive abusing camp, although there is some activity still on p2p. Just my 2cents from the small insight that I have.
ICs to Dresden/Rostock also go from there.

I find it always fascinating that water is often in the center of energy production and storage, like turning it to steam or in a dam, using gravity storage or in this instance a large thermos. I wonder if this same concept cold be used with something like molten salt if the heat source is hot enough, to store it in a large thermos to heat water, would it be more efficient or could it even work, the heat source would have to be really hot but it could potentially store more energy than water without increasing pressure. Energy storage is one of the trickiest things that we have to solve to have a good energy mixture in the future.

people seem to get quite salty when you ask this question nowadays.

So why did you ever pay any mind to them?

The world isn't going to end just because v4 addresses are scarce (...and I don't think anybody was arguing that it would...), but that doesn't make the problems any less real, expensive or damaging.

PZ are useless as a standard because it's not significantly different enough from others, and you can't tell which PZ you need.
Torx and hex is brilliant because you can easily say which shape of bit you need, and you'll instantly know if you pick the wrong one.

Luckily Torx seems to have finally won and screws that require any kind of moment (construction/decking/fasteners/) now seem to use them in stores, while only the kind of scre you'd hang up a picture frame with is PH/PZ.

I have never seen a square (Robertson?) screw in the wild, I assume that's regional.
I wouldnt normally comment in the Nth “social media bad” post on HN, but for anyone who doesnt use the stuff - TikTok’s main feed is entirely algorithmic. My feed (just went thru 20 videos) is all movie & restaurant recommendations, programming, Valorant (video game), finance, and cats. I think the disconnect here is that TikTok uses a lot of subtle signals like watch time / rewatches apart from likes/follows to place content. When I see something like an underaged girl dancing (very rare now, but common when I first installed) I make sure to instantly swipe rather than watch it until its end.

My 2c: I think TikTok is actually a great product and a ourely algorithmic feed that helps people discover new things is clearly desirable! But people should know what the driving behaviora are that dictate the content being served, and parental controls should be present for kids.

There is one advantage of Philips/Pozidriv I can think of: I have two Philips screwdrivers on my Swiss pocket knife, and they are compatible with a wide size-range of Philips/Pozidriv screws. While for Torx I need to have a set of around 6-8 Torx bits to cover a similar range.

My pocket knife is more likely to be with me than my Torx screwdriver set.

Interestingly my pocket knife's screwdrivers feel so much better than dedicated Philips screwdrivers. Maybe because the bits are designed to cover the size range, while dedicated screwdrivers are for a very specific size, and they very much suck if you have a mismatch.
I feel like this is probably good advice for startups and AWS-using companies. But there remains a lot of us who have, for many reasons, some good, some bad, a lot of investment in physical infrastructure already. For those, the Hashicorp or Kubernetes stack makes a lot of sense, if only to help standardise the insanity of what you’re running in-house.

Nobody said it was easy. If you think verification reduces bugs, then surely you can find a bug in Linux’s unverified TCP parsing?
Sort of agree. There are caveats of course but I tend to think if you can just start with a bunch of manually setup instances and roll from there. If you find yourself spending hours per day starting up and shutting down instances manually then yes, automate that part.

Nothing I've ever done has taken off at all so automating DevOps would have been a total waste of time. Then again the projects themselves have been a complete waste of time.
> It's not just the consumers, but entire generations of "influencers" and "content creators" wasting their lifes on creating something that will give them instant recognition and will be forgotten the moment it is swiped to the next video.

The problem is this applies to any social media website with algorithmic recommendations. A hashtag can go viral anywhere. What use is it singling out TikTok? At what point is the platform responsible for things its users decide to do to themselves?

The answer almost always boils down to human moderation with a degree of common sense. But how do you scale that to a billion users?
15 years period should be enough. If you haven't contributed anything to society within the past 15 years, why should you get to live off the 1 thing you did? Shouldn't you be incentivized to be productive? That's the point of copyright law in the first place after all.
Why should using different languages for front-end and back-end be a problem? I rather think that it is better to use languages that are appropriate for the given problem. It is not premature optimization to have parts of a back-end implemented in C/C++/Go/whatever else if high performance is needed. It would rather be a waste of resources, money and energy not to use an high-performance language for high-performance applications. Of course using the same language for the front-end might make no sense at all.
creating nontrivial intellectual property usually takes a lot of work, work that has to be paid otherwise it could literally not be done, i.e. the great people who create those works could attempt maybe one such work and in most modern cases they would not get close to finishing it before they literally run out of money to pay for rent and food.

the system around intellectual property has some issues but some form of protection / ownership needs to be there.

if you had your wish and the concept of IP was treated as shunned and taboo you would quickly live in a world with vastly diminished amount and quality of art, science and technology.

Yeah, if that’s just as easy, I don’t think they are for you. I have roughly 80 blogs and websites I get updates from, visiting them all the time to check for updates manually would be horrible.
Of course, managed means you don't take care of say, creating your own X.509 CA and issuing certificates, tending to their expiry, installing Tiller, setting up pod networking etc. etc.

All of these much more annoying and harder than `helm update --install`ing some charts to your own cluster.
No. The reason is that it's the cryptocurrency industry, which existence depends on betting on black, and it's been getting red for a while now.

But you are assuming what they are doing is illegal. Just because the car isn't winnable might be misleading but that doesn't make it a crime if the defendent claims that they never said that you could win the car, they could also claim that the Ts and Cs describe the real scenario.

Even if it is slightly a grey area, you then have a lawyer fight which costs a ton of cash and then even if found guilty, what are you realistically going to do to someone who pretended that you could win a car to market their timeshares? life in prison at $100K/year to the tax payer?
