Traditional top music charts didn't exclusively show "music" per se. They would list comedy and spoken word albums as well if they sold enough to be on the main chart. Music was just the lion's share of prerecorded auditory entertainment.

Fast forward to today and the situation has changed. Instead of listening to traditional radio, a person can get audiovisual stimulation from TikTok. TikTok allows people to remix the sound and/or visual component from other people's clips into your own. So there can be thousands of people making TikTok content from the same exact music clip. But, as before, it's not necessarily "music" that counts. People will remix audio from movies, old cartoons, comedy bits, random spoken excerpts, non-charting independent music, etc. However, unlike Richard Pryor comedy albums, these little clips aren't showing up on Gioia's traditional chart sources. Is prerecorded auditory entertainment getting less creative or is it just less bounded by what we traditionally think of as music?

Frankly I doubt lack of creativity is even a problem. Quite the opposite. The very fact that old stuff is still popular shows that people don't care if music is "creative" or not. If the traditional mainstream music industry is searching for the next big thing to revive sales, an exciting new genre, I don't think it's going to happen. More "creative" buggy whips isn't the issue.
I don't think this counts as Godwin's law given the context, but:

What exactly is your solution to the sort of naked aggression by Hitler in WW2? Is war not a solution to that problem?
Indeed Netflix seems to rely too much on numbers and data to justify decisions, and to define what goes into their shows. And they ended up with a bunch of generic, disjointed, easily forgettable shows that get cut midway.
Of course, we did (with a consumer mobile app) for a long time. So does sentry and posthog.
Haha, I don't know how folks found this, but I actually did make it for a real-world use case. While doing large-scale builds of debian packages [1], occasionally I'd have parts of the build process hang (usually some test that I didn't care about). I didn't want the whole build to fail, so I needed some way to kill the process but have it return 0 so that make and friends wouldn't think anything was amiss.

Also, credit where credit is due -- the original idea was suggested to me by Kyle Huey: https://twitter.com/moyix/status/1484342467205816325

Yes, this really surprised me. I would’ve figured that Bebop would be uniquely suited for a stellar western adaptation because of how western it is, but somehow the western studio skipped or greatly minimized many of the original’s western cultural influences!

The live action version also doesn’t have the sense of ennui and has fewer quiet moments to just let things exist and breathe.
Of course they will catch up, if they’re motivated at some point to do so. And the others will lose it as soon as they stop using it.
"Elite overproduction" is the elites' own term for too many disaffected college graduates packing boxes at amazon (or equivalent).

Put enough of them to work there and many will radicalize and unionize. Having an education and little investment in the existing social order makes them a dangerous political wildcard.

I doubt the Economist is fretting about incels shooting up shopping malls when they use this term. Theyre probably more worried about a wave of Gabriel Borics taking the reins of power across the world and screwing over investors.
Does anyone know why Hitler hated Stalin and communism so much? The article alludes to how Russia was always the main target, and he was friends with industrialists, but I've never seen a good reason why.
It's pretty simple. The journalist/editors want to write an article about privacy and web tracking. The business people want ads on the website to keep the lights on.

And to be fair to the business people, it's not like they have much choice. There are no major privacy-focused ad networks and they need a source of revenue. What do you expect them to do?

Analog is certainly trying to make a comeback, in the form of quantum computing. People often focus on the qubits, which are beautifully quantized and therefore "digital" by their very nature, but the story is more complex. Behind every quantum computer is a bank of DACs and ADCs and AWGs to drive the thing. The unsung heroes of quantum computing devote their lives to calibration: tuning up those analog devices to gain access to the brag-worthy qubits.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply, I see what you’re aiming for is admirable and something a lot of thought was put into. I think where you might be kidding yourselves is on the passing judgment aspect. You may not verbally express judgment, but what is calling the police without someone’s consent other than passing judgment on what they’re doing?
It must!

For obvious, numerous reasons we are producing less stuff now than before, so we have less available to consume.

Prices must outpace wages, or we get empty shelves, or we can ration. But we MUST consume less on average.

We could talk about taking from the rich, but actually the rich don’t consume all that much in aggregate, so that doesn’t help much (wealth and income don’t matter for this purpose, only consumption).
This might be a fact, but it certainly isn’t fun or interesting. Anybody who is framing WebAssembly into some sort of competition with javascript is completely missing the point of it’s existence. The major problem with WebAssembly right now is the major point of it’s existence is mirky. It will take time and effort from everyone using it for figure out it’s true calling, but I am hopeful and optimistic this gets discovered. In the meantime it doesn’t help to pit it against javascript.
Oddly, I also use FF on a 16GB Mac and experience none of those slowdowns that you mention. On my work machine, FF typically has around 100 tabs grouped into 4-6 tab groups by project and it is solid.

I do find that some websites end up using 1GB+ of memory if you leave them running for an extended period of time (looking at you MacRumors forums) but that happens on Safari and Chrome, too. HN is usually the safest one that uses the least memory. Sites with lots of ads load all kinds of crap and can use surprising amounts of memory.
Again, I was speaking generally about digital audio, the average consumer has no idea what happens when using audio playback software, USB DACs, AirPlay, Chromecast etc. Even a few of the downloads I have purchased have been resampled (more fraud than secret in that case).
That sounds like a strategy that will work for a time. I remember 7-8 years ago, when Medium was putatively accruing all the good content, and then gradually paywalling it. Subscriptions don't seem to work for most sites, so I'm anticipating Substack undergoing a slow death like Medium.
Note, this review is from March 1940. At that point in time, WWII was 6 months old. Germany and the Soviet Union annexed land from their neighbors, and in response a number of countries declared war.

I suspect he would have even stronger feelings a few months later when the Air Battle of Britain begins... or when the mass murder of jews in concentration camps is discovered in June 1942.
I use bearblog for my .dev website [1]. It's a one pager and works great for me.

I inject some CSS to make it work for me, i.e. fonts - and simple colors and I removed most of the "extra" pages because I wanted to keep it as a one pager.
It's a great platform and I wish there was a version where I could self host it like `hexo.js`

Thanks for your work herman!

This can be called manufactured ignorance. Those who have been informed sometimes practice willful ignorance. I have also come to accept that perhaps a majority of people want to be watched and controlled just as they want to be ruled by powerful people. It is hard for some of us who are not that way to understand and accept.
Please google confounding factors.

Let’s alone that this reduction to “they” being people who have sex with strangers and “smart people” being people who move. That is bizarre.
"about:performance" does not show any pages or add-ons being memory hogs. The memory use per page that it shows is surprisingly small, and the total comes to < 1GB.

And I see the real memory usage grown, eventually to crashing size, even when I'm just reading around HN, clicking many article headings and comments but remaining within the HN text-only site.

I agree it's probably made worse caused by specific sites, but I haven't been able to figure out which ones, or perhaps it's wide range of them, which defeats browsing in general. However, I now avoid Telegram Web, because that does consistently crash Firefox for me eventually (I've seen reported memory use grow to 67GB when TW was open, about three times).

Whatever it is, it doesn't look like site JavaScript holding data in large JavaScript objects or DOM trees, because minimizing memory use with "about:memory" reduces the size to workable levels without any other observable effect on open pages.

So I'm inclined to think of the Firefox as having a severe reclaimable-but-not-reclaimed memory leak or cache problem of some kind, that is outside the world of JavaScript data.
It's interesting that Socialism was so synonymous with pacifism in the early 20th century, and how that radically changed.

Mussolini famously broke with his Socialist Party to abandon the pacifist doctrine of Socialism and form his own movement which he called Fascism.
But the line about wage growth has always been "we can't fix that, it'll cause inflation".

I am not very proficient in the topic, but I understand your question an I do have a little live-hack - to glue similar tasks. For example, if I need to weld something, I am not going to do this rn but I am going to throw all metals which needs welding into one basket. When lots of weld work has been gathered or when something important needs welding rn, I do all welding at once. That might save some time to assemble and to disassemble my welding workplace.
'In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.' - Benjamin Graham

Voting machines are susceptible to cults. Weighing machines less so.

At the end of the day, stocks exist to return dividends to their shareholders. Those that don't will eventually become worthless, no matter how fervent the cult around them.

If the stylesheet is less than a few kilobytes, it will generally be faster to inline it even for subsequent page views with an immutable cache header. Caches and separation into external files still aren’t free.

One other thing that is almost always overlooked is that you don’t tend to use all styles on a given page, and you could strip out the unused styles. For example, the front page linked here has over 4KB of stylesheet, unminified and with unused styles; minified, it’s 3KB; with unused styles removed (including the wonky body:hover), it’s about 662 bytes. Something in the vicinity of 1KB is for specific pages, and 1KB for editing (form fields and such). If you try actively minimising the front page (removing unnecessary whitespace and attribute quotation marks, minifying and paring the stylesheet, and removing a few pointless elements), the whole thing ends up under 3.4KiB (down from 7.8KiB).

(Mind you, most browsers can do some degree of intra-session sharing of an in-memory representation of a stylesheet, for performance and memory usage reasons, and doing this will thwart that. But that’s only likely to make things faster over inlining if you’ve got much heavier styles, dozens or hundreds of kilobytes, the sort that you wouldn’t be so likely to inline anyway.)

As for the “making additional requests thing”: you still have to remember latency, because you’re adding another whole round trip to the waterfall. In the case of bearblog.dev which is hosted somewhere on the other side of the world from me (I’m in Australia), that will add an absolute minimum of over 260ms, more commonly half a second or more. Inlining of small resources like this when you have a very short waterfall already significantly improves load performance. The HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 improvements are about requesting more than just a couple of resources: in a case like this if you had one HTML and one CSS resource from the same host, HTTP/2 would not improve anything over HTTP/1.1.
True but blogs are not Facebook. People generally don't visit thousands of pages. 1 visit and bounce is very common for blogs.
Many firearm regulations, both inside and outside the US, are based on inaccurate perceptions of how things work (eg: suppressors), or things just looking scary.

Where I live, I can get a licence for a semiautomatic center fire rifle rather easily. So long as its not of a "military style".

So I can own a Mini-14, which fires 5.56/.223 rounds, etc, but not an AR-15 despite there being no functional difference between the two rifles. They both have the same standard magazine capacity, same round, etc.

The reason for this comes down to one being "military style" and the other looking more like a hunting rifle.
It’s a chain that can be found everywhere in America from the Vegas strip (with a VIP party room upstairs no less!) to the smallest town and sells very cheap “Mexican themed” food like tacos and burritos. It’s especially loved by people on a tight budget like teenagers and college students as well as drunk people in the middle of the night (most are 24 hour drive thrus) of all income brackets. The calories per dollar spent are hard to beat anywhere else but you are encouraged to not dwell on the quality of the meat.

Ask HN: Is it feasible to have real-time price comparison?
Recently I've been thinking of building a project that would aggregate and sort prices of products from a specific industry, these products are into the hundreds of thousands at least. As a feature I wish to offer the user the ability to see if ordering multile products from one site will be cheaper in shipping than ordering these items separately, or suggest a route where this will end up being the cheapest.

However at it's core, every time a user submits a query for a product, I must route this request(read scrape) to a set of websites that contain these products and sort the data however the user wants it. If the data is scraped from 10 websites, then 1 user = 10 requests from my end, 2 users = 20. Just mentally thinking about it, I wonder at what point my traffic will be interpreted as an attack and then blocked, not to mention at least one of these sites is CloudFlare protected. Because of the nature of the products, a single user may need to find several products, so again several queries I must route.

The data cannot be prescraped because I have to issue hundreds of thousands of search queries to PER site, and then the price may change because of reasons such as a discount was in effect, a price hike or price reduction, usually it will be discounts, the overall price may not change as frequently as say GPU prices these days.

People in the West are quick to forget that fight against Nazism wasn't unanimous. Many in America supported it. Many in Western Europe supported it.

It was only when there was economic interests at stake they jumped in the war. Not to save people from Nazism (although this is what their decendants have been taught in schools) but to protect their own interest.

Very few occasions countries enter into a war based on some goodwill or emotion. It just so happens that a common enemy and common goal appear enough to threaten their selfish interests that momentarily, countries rally around it.

I can already see public opinions sliding against Zelensky here in the West. People's livelihood is impacted and not everybody feels that they need to suffer for a foreign country that they are far away from. For countries who border with Russia its a different story.
If a company is private then you cannot sell/purchase shares on public markets.

So, execs can go fundraise, which is selling shares to new investors. But what shares are they gonna sell? Newly minted ones, or shares someone already own?

The execs get to decide. In theory, there is no reason that "regular" vested employees couldn't also sell shares if execs designed it that way, beyond some complexity in management overhead (think figuring out information for 1000 people vs 10) as well as "turnover risk" where employees can cash out and leave.

Now you are saying, well, seems like employees are gonna leave now without cashing out, and you are right. That's why it's dumb. Poor decision making by execs. I'm sure there are a lot of people at datarobot that didn't even know this, and are just learning this now.

(Unless execs want both to make a lot of money and re-form the company, if that's the case, well then, great decision making by the execs)
Yeah, out of all complaints one could have made about M1, this one seems like the strangest one.

Not M1 Air, but I once used my M1 Max MBP for virtual onsite interviews. It was about 4 hours of videocalls on Google Meet + code editing using coderpad or something similar + i had a bunch of personal/unrelated tabs (50+) in chrome on another virtual desktop + 1hr break where i was reviewing my notes and such. Did it all fully on battery, no plugging in. After all was said and done, my laptop charge dropped from around 95% to 71%. No overheating, fans never kicked in either.

Sometimes the only moral act is to die.

"Finally, it is always possible that man, as the result of coercion or other circumstances, can be hindered from doing certain good actions; but he can never be hindered from not doing certain actions, especially if he is prepared to die rather than to do evil."

At some point a company may have to make a decision that results in their death if they want to continue to act morally.

But much, much more often they simply modify their morals slightly and continue on. We humans are great at that.
I know but it's a core integrated part of the product.

I'm waiting to see how Vic 3 turns out. Given the devs claim to focus on diplomacy and politics moreso than map painting warfare (much to the distaste of the paradox community)

Ofc war is still an option, albeit the mechanics are rather high level and less micro involved than past games.

If the mechanics are well designed in general I think I may find it really engaging.
Careful what you wish for. I find that StarCraft Anthology — the original which was released for free, not the remastered version — is the app most likely to crash my 2020 MacBook. When devs put this stuff on many years after the fact as a sop to diehard fans, they don’t really have an incentive to do a good job on the implementation side. There is no reason that a 1998 game should crash a 2020 computer.
AFAIK: the British Empire caused much suffering, but your comment is a blatant fabrication of it operated. For example, the British East India Company succeeded in gaining control in India not through war, but by striking deals with (or strong arming) local rulers and land owning elite, whom they rarely interfered with directly but instead used them for collecting taxes and enforcing law and order. The size of the British military in India was apparently very small.
