> Can you load into Spotify a very specific recoding that's rarely available? I have a few CDs hard to source from rare live recordings.

Weirdly, yes you can. I stumbled across that option myself on the desktop client when search for a song that wasn’t in Spotify’s catalogue.

> If you just want to listen to background music, or a given song from a given bad, sure. If you want to listen to a specific recording that happened at a given date for which you have the CD, I don't think Spotify can do that.

It can, but you really don’t need to use Spotify if you don’t want to. I still keep Subsonic around for exactly this kind of scenario (and podcasts too). So I use Spotify for 90% of my listening but Subsonic for anything I’ve curated myself from physical media.

> If they had hardware buttons, yes, but that's rarely found.

All smart phone has hardware volume buttons. My Bluetooth earphones have hardware play and pause buttons. And the device we are comparing it against (the new Sony Walkman) is also touchscreen based like smart phones. So there isn’t really anything between modern Walkmans and smart phones these days.

> Are these hardware buttons and a good DAC worth $400 to $4000? Maybe not to you, but they are worth that for me.

You have no idea how much I’ve spent on audio hardware so please don’t assume I cheap out and don’t care about audio quality. In my home office alone I have an entire rack full of professional grade hardware. But I’m also pragmatic about what I buy. A £400 MP3 player isn’t going to sound any better than an iPhone when I’m listening to lossy music. The real differentiator there is what (ear|head)phones I use. However when I am sat at home my vinyl collection, I notice all the nuances of cheaper hardware much more.
Ordering semantics (TSO) that Apple's M1 implements.

I guess it should be slower too?
No, you're right. It says "you have a right to free speech except where we've illegalized certain other speech prior to creating this document and after creating this document". One might think that a bill of rights would be a foundational document by which other laws must defer to first, but apparently not. It's just words with no power of their own. So still, so-called "extreme pornography" is illegal to produce even if all participants are consenting, and certain Japanese manga are still illegal even to possess. The Obscene Publications Act remains in full force.

There is no right to free speech in England and Wales, never mind a law aganist the government from restricting speech in all but the worst circumstances (threats, child pornography, incitement to harm, etc.) but now the government and their supporters can say "yes there is!" while pointing to a 'bill of rights' which any speech-restricting law is overriding and can override in future.
There's no reason hangovers should be any worse in your 30's or 40's. Hangovers are mostly the result of poor drinking habits.
I've unsubscribed from Prime twice now, and both times the only reason it took so long is that I couldn't believe they didn't have a simple "suspend subscription" option and kept hunting around for it assuming I was just going blind...
In both cases I fully expected to re-subscribe once life circumstances changed and/or a new season of a certain show was released. Surely it would be useful for Amazon to know the unsubscription was temporary...
You're really not wrong. There are so many ways a novice can screw up writing public-facing software. Even so-called experienced professional software "engineers" and billion-dollar tech companies do it regularly.
Eh... Good thing? As someone who does not have the genes to produce ADH2, I can never appreciate alcohol or the euphoria of getting tipsy. Employees in my previous startups in SF openly stocked and drank lots of liquor, which made me uneasy too. It was also very frustrating that engineers in Dropbox of early days used to socialize and design their systems in noisy bars over hard liquor.
Most new cars have Adaptive Cruise Control these days, often in base models, without the need to pay $12k that Tesla is charging now.

Does it not depend on how progressive / regressive the tax system is, and how much money the government is spending on things that do not benefit you?
I have always looked at it as a social activity, than sole reason to be getting drunk.

With my friends, if you wanted to get drunk, it w as s never at a pub, we were too cheap.

We would just drink at home.

In general, people are less outgoing, not specific to pubs.

Look at restaurant closures in your area, retail stores etc... I bet the pub lines up with these
When did the CIA compromise the site?
I did the same, and likewise was pleasantly surprised. I’ve never experienced something quite like it.

Signed up for a month, will see if it helps me stick to a meditation practice better than usual (I’m very off and on with it).
Er, no, sure it's a contributing factor. But Apple's lead in perf/watt is much higher than you can attribute to the process.

Their GPU is similarly impressive, with a minimal TDP it handily crushes any other iGPU.
For the tech team but not for management. They love some fancy consultants with some vague set of achievements.
The term "forever chemicals" has been used to describe polyfluorinated organic molecules that are prone to bioaccumulation and highly resistant to breakdown by ordinary environmental mechanisms. The older term "persistent organic pollutants," [1] as codified in the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, is a broader way of referring to the same concept.

The Materials Project is for inorganic crystals. The project will not unleash new forever chemicals because it doesn't deal with organic molecules.

Because lots of small functions increase the system complexity by creating interdependencies. You also don't have context in each function to understand the big picture and very small functions can be meaningless on its own. You have to jump through many functions just to figure out what is being done.

> She’s a reaction to national media efforts that started with the governor’s race in 2018 to paint half of Georgia as “deplorables.” People are tribal. When attacked from outside, they’ll close ranks.

Tribalism and reactions to attacks from outside might explain why she won the general election.

But before she got to the general election she had to win the primary. That was Republican only and there were 8 other candidates.

I haven't been able to find biographies on all of them, but the 7 I did find seemed to be normal Republicans, several of which had held state elected or appointed offices in the past, rather than promoters of QAnon and various antisemitic, white supremacist, and 9/11 (and many other) false conspiracy theories.

Getting to the runoff could be explained by all the reasonable candidates splitting the vote, but how to you explain her winning the runoff?
I've been going to pubs in Wales and England since 1977. I've noticed the customers seem to be older during the last 10 years. I suspect it is related to much social interaction moving to the internet.

In any case, I wonder how this change has affected the sale of beer & ale.
Is there a way to send to a mailing list from my own server?
Is it possible these days to send emails from my backend server directly? I am worried about that the emails would not get through to the receiver. My use case would be to maintain my mailing list without having to share all emails with a service like mailchimp, which could be an issue due to gdpr.
I've dealt with ADHD for 76 years. There are two practices that work for me.

1)Short-term (hours scale): Some tasks are helped by frequent changing focus, for example writing or painting. They permit non-linear work flow. Your progress is recorded up to the point when you pursue a worthwhile inspiration, and when you return to the task, you can quickly refresh your focus and continue. Perhaps this is why ADHD people are considered to be creative. They can make use of inspiration. If you can structure your effort into a way that preserves progress and facilitates re-focus later, this might work for you.

2)Long-term (days, weeks...): Here are 3 aspects that need to be addressed individually. A) Clearly define what you want to accomplish. Write it down. B) Plan exactly how you are going to accomplish your goal. Write it all down. Be explicit. C)Devise a scheme to periodically review each project for progress and identify the next step. Remind yourself why this task is worth pursuing.

Every morning I review my current long-term tasks in this way. I keep these tasks, their goals, their plans of attack, and why they are important in an outliner. Launching my outline is the first thing I do after my bath and brushing my teeth.

An anti-depressant helps quite a lot.

There are no silver bullets for this, and real-life is somewhat messier than I have described. But you can improve things by quite a bit if you persist.

Good luck.
I live in a semi-rural area and all the local pubs that serve food are overflowing on a weekend, and usually busy on a weeknight.

However, they all have staffing problems, and some have to close part of the week because staff presumably find better work elsewhere.

Couple that with sometimes extortionate business rates and many average pubs in remote areas are simply not viable.

>She was drummed out of town because white radical Republicans made up positions that the educator in question did not hold and had never hold

Assuming that is true, that may or may not have to do with race. Please provide proof race had anything to do with this.

>that you can pretend to talk about CRT with respect to primary or secondary school is indicative that you have bought into the propaganda; it is a post-graduate law school concept, unless you’re a radical republican hell bent on fighting anything that does anything other than support a white supremacist distortion of history).

CRT is clearly being used as a generic term and not a college level idea. Maybe we should have two separate terms, but similar concepts are absolutely being taught.

>The reality is that the moment someone in Georgia says "this is not about the colour of her skin", it’s about the colour of her skin.

You are clearly bias and assume the worst in people you disagree with.

You are doing the very thing you accuse these Georgians of doing.

>Everything about what she was going to "bring into" the district was fabricated out of whole cloth and had nothing to do with either (a) anything the educator in question had said or (b) anything the educator in question had been hired for.

Maybe, but seeing how white people pushing this get yelled at and kicked out as well, assuming this has anything to do with race is nothing more than a theory.

If we ever want to solve racial tension, we need to stop calling everybody a racist when they disagree on policies.

In case it's not obvious, this game was intended as satire. Reposting previous comment:

This seems like an appropriate moment to remember Cow Clicker[1], and reflect on it's lesson:

"The player is initially given a pasture with nine slots and a single plain cow, which the player may click once every six hours. Each time the cow is clicked, a point also known as a "click" is awarded; if the player adds friends' cows to their pasture, they also receive clicks added to their scores when the player clicks their own cow. As in other Facebook games, players are encouraged to post announcements to their news feed whenever they click their cow. A virtual currency known as "Mooney" can be bought with Facebook Credits; it can be used to purchase special "premium" cow designs, and the ability to skip the six-hour time limit that must be waited before the cow can be clicked again."

"Unexpectedly to Bogost, Cow Clicker became a viral phenomenon[...]Although continually disturbed by its popularity, Bogost also used Cow Clicker to parody other recent gaming and social networking trends;"

"'bovine gods' eventually revealed that 'Cowpocalypse' would occur on July 21, 2011 (exactly one year since the original release of the game). From then on, every click made by players would deduct thirty seconds from a countdown clock leading to the Cowpocalypse. However, players could extend the countdown clock by paying to supplicate with Facebook Credits: paying 10 credits would extend the countdown by a single hour, while 4,000 would extend the countdown by an entire month. After $700 worth of extensions, the countdown clock expired on the evening of September 7, 2011. At this point, the game remained playable, but all the cows were replaced by blank spaces and said to have been raptured. Bogost intended the Cowpocalypse event to signal the "end" of the game to players; when addressing a complaint by a fan who felt the game was no longer fun after the cow rapture, Bogost responded that "it wasn't very fun before."

Does this system require dates in the title like zk does? Seems fairly silly to have to specify the date every time you create a link
There was a time where I unsubscribed from Prime and every single purchase flow then included the following screen where you had to confirm that you really don't want to have Amazon Prime and just buy it as a regular customer.

Regulation in these areas is really very much needed.

People the British government don't like and who they have subjected to torture and extra-judicial killings, the biggest example being people in Northern Ireland opposing Union with Great Britain.
People who've never spent significant time in the UK may not appreciate the significance that pbus have played in the UK culture and social structure. Pubs have for many eyars been a social nexus. You wouldn't even go to drink necessarily but just go by default because that's what everyone else was doing.

These are quite typically "locals" rather than going somewhere to go to a pub in particular.

So this is really a long term trend in the changing social structure of the UK. Pubs are becoming less important socially, probably conciding with the rise of Internet culture and online connectedness. But also real estate prices come into play. Pubs sit on some valuable land, particularly in London. Costs go up to the point where you might be paying 8 pounds for a pint. That gets really expensive.

I haven't seen anything close to this in the US. Take something like the bar in How I Met Your Mother. Obviously this is all fictional and these characters spen da lot of time there but it's still portrayed as extremely intentional, meaning plans are made to meet there. UK pub culture doesn't tend to be that intentional about meeting particular people but rather hanging out where others may or may not show up.
That's when I plan to buy as much as possible.

> The problem is that the people using said libraries don't know what they're doing.

I would like to suggest that the problem is that the skilled people that understand how to write crypto systems are providing libraries that are easy to misuse. Instead of providing a library that is likely to be used incorrectly without a lot of specialized knowledge, provide infrastructure that manages the crypto so the average developer doesn't need to become an expert on crypto systems.

HTTPS is a useful example. Instead of providing webapp authors a library of cypher/hash functions and warning that they shouldn't roll their own transport layer security and then acting shocked when those authors try to use that library and make a lot of mistakes, we instead separate the crypto step into a separate layer of infrastructure so the average webapp author can easily use crypto without having to learn a lot of specialized knowledge. Someone writing a Ruby on Rails app shouldn't have to write functions like pervade_encrypt($data)/pervade_decrypt($data) to move out of the plaintext world of HTTP and utilize encrypted transport. They only need to buy/LetsEncrypt a cert they can install in their webserver. They can even delegate that to their hosting provider.

"If it's possible for a human to hit the wrong button and [cause a catastrophic failure] by accident [or inexperience], then maybe the problem isn't with the human - it's with that button. [...] People make mistakes, and all of our systems need to be designed to be ready for that."

give it, along with other tasks that ultimately increase entire team cadence, more value at review time than short term quarterly goals. recognize that at a certain scale, it's true 10x work.

Average is generally a poor way of approximating monetary distributions. If 6 people buy in at 15k and 1 person buys in at 60k they average to 21.5k.

That said, clearly a lot of people are underwater.
Maybe an obvious one, but at my last org I often wished for more emphasis on keeping patch sets SMALL. I might have liked some kind of soft ban against putting huge patch sets up for review. I'm talking like 1000+ line stuff. In my experience, no one wants to review those; it's incredibly tedious.

I say "soft" ban because there are exceptions. I don't mind huge patch sets if the changes are proportionately trivial: One example is mechanical search-and-replace jobs on large codebases. But the 3000-line new module that just gets dumped on reviewers all at once is in bad taste. It's the responsibility of the author of the code to ensure that it is broken up in a way that makes reviewers' job tolerable. My opinion.
My mother was schizophrenic and very smart, I'm very smart and very creative, sometimes a little crazy, but not psychotic... yet, lol.

So this checks out. Your second paragraph is a little word salady.

My mind is always set to 100mph, until it's so tired that I fall into a mild depression. Then recover. Kinda bipolary. I think schizophrenia is what happens to creative brains with high connectivity and too much activation. The continuous activation causes excessive oxidative stress which eventual causes organic damage.
20 seems to be on the high side for me. I used the machines before, and based on what I remember it should be:

1. start

2. burgers section

3. scroll down to hamburger (if it already isn't there already)

4. choose the burger you want

5. no, I want just the burger

6. add to order

7. view order

8. pay

9. credit card

maybe add a few more if there's more upsell screens near the end, but nowhere near 20.

This is pretty much exactly the case in Canada, too. You'll nearly always get denied on the first attempt. Then have a psychiatrist or someone at that level submit a report when you try the second time. Then you're far more likely to get it.

I have a feeling they get so many not-actually-disabled requests that they create a break from the first request to the second to force the person to determine if they are really disabled. In some cases, it's probably very true, but it punishes those who actually are disabled and needing the pressure relief of a regular income.

So less than half.

Also less than half. I wonder how many tried it just once.

Generally agreed, however apple's arm cores have substantial advantages over all the other common arm cores. The M1 maintains great perf/watt (common to arm), but is a very competitive core at any power level.
