I and others are guessing it's a Digg-style sabotage in favor of ad-driven, corporate-friendly traffic sculpting. Worked great for Digg, right?
Intel came with AC'97 as a "good enough" onboard solution for audio, with standard drivers and all mainstream capabilities.
No MIDI-port, no fancy spatial audio, just good-enough stereo out and mic/line-in.

It forced the dedicated soundcard vendors to justify the add-on price by pushing features like multichannel, Surround sound codecs, hardware controls etc, but none of those features were of mainstream interest.

Total sales volume for dedicated soundcards dropped, economics of scale dropped, prices had to increase, pushing the products even more into niche...
If that fuel type is banned in a country, wouldnt that also disallow planes to fly that country?

I guess leaded fuel can still be used flying between (and within) the "dirty" countries
Since there are less and less ways to discover cool repos, recently I’ve made an open source extension to get recommendations on GitHub. You can check it out https://indexstorm.com/git-rec
But why did Rome have a system that yielded bad leaders? Part of it is just the nature of autocracy, part is a lack of effective succession planning in the Empire, part is a return in the late empire to powerful generals with effectively private armies, part is a similar return to what amounted to proscription so entire generations of potential leaders were killed after each civil war.

I don’t think you can point at one proximate cause over any others without asking why Rome was vulnerable to that thing particularly.

It's their Google+ moment (as a reminder, Google+ destroyed Buzz, Reader, and heavily damaged Talk, YouTube and generally Google's reputation; I liked it, but it went too far on so many things). Or dare I remember when every app was integrating a "story" feature to compete with Snap ? Their are probably other examples of this.
Hahah what a story. Wishing you and your team all the best. You have an upvote from me ;)
Same same.

The people buying the stocks are the greater fools and the original owners still succeed as their stock is now trading publicly and they can sell their stocks and make a bundle.

In this case, the investors do get hosed, so not a win-win, unless they sell it to the next greater fool before it collapses. Kinda like bitcoin. One could always sell it to a greater fool, until one can't. And hopefully that ain't you. If it is....suckk-ker...
Well yes and no, the topmost reason is that rural folk simply are very eurosceptic there (see polls on that matter) and the election system favors them a bit, so overall, the eurosceptic parties remain in power (for now). Though I've yet to see an analysis on the matter since Russia's imperialistic invasion of Ukraine.

Apple was informed about the vulnerability through a tip, following which the company released the update.
I like the way you say "just" :)

My experience is that a high-end device like MixPre II is fine with a dynamic mic. Focusrite or Tascam US needs a cloudlifter to get enough (clean) gain. Random stuff like BlueYeti is hopeless with crackling noise.

So maybe you don't need a great ADC but you have to choose your audio interface very carefully (for its preamp.)
I live in Europe, though I'm an immigrant, hence my talking about racism in the US more - that's where my familiarity lies.

But I'm guessing you did this as some sort of weird gotcha that doesn't make sense: One can get a feel for different sorts of racism in the world by communicating with folks different from yourself.
I'm in the mood to nitpick:

> In a theatrical demonstration in 1654, he showed that not even two teams of horses straining to rip apart the watermelon-size ball could overcome the suction of nothing.

In fact, there is an addendum saying the article originally said grapefruit, then updated it to watermelon.

Say the watermelon had a diameter of 10 inches, or a cross section of 78.5 sq in. Atmospheric pressure is 14 psi. The force of the vacuum would be 78*14, so 1100 lbs. Impressive, but it seems like a horse could possibly generate that much instantaneous pull.

This site [0] says horses can pull six times their body weight for short pulls! That leads me to believe the sphere was bigger than a watermelon, and in fact, the drawing of the affair shows a sphere about the size of a beach ball.

I don't recommend doing this; it would likely result in an hellscape of a thought bubble.

It was in a way to show that banning politics at work could produce paradoxical results.

I personally see only 4 answers:

- nothing is political

- everything is political

- it is political if I say that it is political

- we submit to someone else opinion to answer this question

And you might notice that answer 4 is just 3 in disguise.

My conclusion is that political / non-political is not a useful dichotomy

That's disappointing. Where can we go if we want spatial audio?

It feels like spatial audio would be a huge boon to games instead of calculating and modeling sound directionality on the CPU.

I am not a lawyer but...

Abortion rights in the US were originally based on privacy (the government's right to tell a woman what she could or could not do with her body). Overturning that widened government authority not just over abortion, but 1001 other issues linked to the same core finding. Laws banning sodomy were struck down on the same basis: what two consenting adults do behind closed doors that doesn't affect third parties are a violation of the "right to privacy". The same for interracial marriage.

The same ruling has implications here because the data in question "belongs" to the phone company. But government buying it might violate individuals' right to privacy. Only individuals' right to privacy is now very curtailed.

People think Roe vs Wade was an abortion ruling, but it was really a privacy one, and by overturning it SCOTUS has opened a very large number of social issues to be re-litigated.

I agree it's a stretch to tie it to abortion (and maybe an appeal to emotion/politics?). But there is a link. I wish more people thought about all these issues (plus NSA spying and social media and 101 other things) in terms of one overall right to privacy. It's sort of the issue of our times (which I think West Wing predicted 20+ years ago)

The popularity ratio of garbage books vs non-garbage is nowhere even close to the equivalent ratio on social media, where instantaneous feedback loops of dopamine shots are pushing the balance in favor of the worst kind of content, I admit TV already did some of that but social media platforms are on a whole new level.

And there has been a drop in the average IQ of the world in recent decades, and is directly related to TV and the other things you mentioned, so it's clear that it does have consequences and some of it is indeed a negative influence, source: https://www.swnewsmedia.com/article_8317aad9-876e-5c1e-804a-...
The Fairlight CMI
A lot of recent tooling around SQLite has opened up some new possibilities. The biggest one I can think of is Litestream which has allowed SQLite to have distributed reads. This makes SQLite a strong contender for serverless and extremely cheap OLAP. There have been a lot of posts about serverless Postgres as well lately in the form of neon.tech.

If SQLite had better performance for OLAP queries, there is no way I wouldn't explore it as an option for work because it's so darn easy to use. The operational or hosting or cloud costs of other OLAP database is insanely high in comparison.

P.S. It's my personal opinion and experience that most companies have only about 1TB or less of analytics data. Large OLAP databases are just a waste for such small data but currently apart from DuckDB there aren't any cheap competitors for these small use cases. Postgres and SQLite are too slow (without some additional engineering).
Portuguese can't afford to live in Lisbon for two reasons:

2) the economy is remarkably unproductive, leaving Portguese people poorer than, say, Estonians, let alone Germans:

Sounds like a local optimum, a difficult, unsolved problem permeating everything. How do you know if the good you've got is the best you can have?

Hierarchy is one approximate solution, but hardly the globally optimal one.

TLDR; At fundamental level, the idea is that most VMs don't change much to their large images so you can lazily only work with diffs. The copy-on-write allows blocks of your new file points to blocks of original and maintain diff of blocks that get changed.

Overall great article!
I have worked in a large corporation (Apple, but back when it had only 12,000 employees). Yes, it is harder to build when there are more voices. The answer is not to demean or marginalize those voices. The answer is to create relationships so that you build legitimate trust. Then you can proceed with fewer people in the actual room, without abusing the people outside the room.
Hey, thanks for the reply! Yeah, absolutely -- with hindsight, the phrasing that I used was far too negative.

I suspect I need to go with something very carefully phrased around "helping give back", rather than "you're a terrible person, make recompense for your crimes!", haha.

I'm happily ignoring Twitter, Facebook, Instagram links all the time... until I need that post.

Thankfully there is still no (and I hope there wouldn't be) tech related Instagram posts.
The language filter was actually a suggestion I made (I’m probably not the only one but I sent them feedback emails and everything).

The reason is that at some point a few years ago, the trending list was filled with Chinese repositories which makes it useless if you don’t speak the language. The language filter fixed it for me and made the page useful again.
Linked on twitter as satire, but I think the Tiktok account it's sourced from is actually not intentionally satirical (though I'm aghast that someone could be so clueless)

Agreed with all above. I would add that this won't help customers either as regardless you paid upon check-in or not, this does not address the ultimate point for customers: go to their destination on agreed time.
Location is account id. If you have the locations a person has visited, you have their home and their work/education/etc place.

This is why any and all claims of anonymization are gaslighting. You can't know something and not know it. The entire concept is incoherent and anyone who claims ad tracking and privacy are in any way compatible is lying to your face.
> I don’t think you can get those numbers with Reels.

Can you even watch a reel without an account? Because I know I can't watch stories and after clicking one or two pictures my IP is blocked entirely from Instagram for x hours.

I don't have this problem if someone sends me a TikTok link.
Credit cards aren't particularly popular in Europe, and especially not in Germany.

There is a way to do preauths on debit cards though, iirc by blocking a certain amount temporarily.
Hey, ICQ was great.
I see GitHub stars in orders of magnitude (1-9, 10-99, 100-...). If interested, I also look at the other public metrics: # of branches, forks, open and closed PRs, time since last update. I have also used <10 star repos in high traffic prod env with no issues. I think you're right and I'm fine with 1 star = 1 person took interest for at least a moment and liked what they saw.
Yeah, for sure. But I can't build houses (to the scale required), I can only build tech :)

Obviously this would 100% be a problem better solved by government. But I don't see any evidence that they're planning to do that, so ...
> If you buy a cheap Chinese cable, it won't have any markings or it has wrong markings.

That is, until the Chinese get on this fancy new internet thing.
Since stuff keeps getting renamed or added I vote to have a requirement to have a display on each cable indicating to me it's capabilities. The manufacturer should then be required to update the firmware on this cable to match any changes. /s
This is a terrible idea. Many people fly on tickets bought by other people. E.g. business travelers, children flying alone. So for all of those passengers, they will not be able to pay at the airport.

Moreover, not everybody is plumbed into the German banking system. If you came to Germany from abroad, is your foreign debit card going to work at the airport? Who knows!

It’s unreasonable for passengers to not know if they will be able to pay for the flight, until 3 hours before. What if their bank’s anti-fraud puts a hold on the payment? What do they expect passengers to do, get on the phone to their bank while at the check in counter?

Payment is made in advance to give passengers time to resolve payment issues. It is mutually beneficial for passengers and airlines.

How does 16" screens work on planes? I'm in the market for a new laptop (any ETA on Norwegian support for frameworks?) and the 16" screens of the new Thinkpads are looking very nice.
Right but you’ve basically admitted to it though without saying that the whole situation is kinda fucked. Coed sport leagues are your one example. You’ve got going out to bars but you need an entire group of friends who want to approach women together. This strikes me as an experience that is mostly niche to your life and that’s about it.

Genuinely - with your experience and the way you advertise it as being incredibly slow - it sounds like you’ve met maybe a half dozen women this way and got lucky with a couple and ascribe this to a winning strategy.

I’m just saying - it’s not sounding great for meeting lots of women. It sounds like a good way to meet a dozen women and either get lucky or have incredibly low standards that allows you to pair up with 1 out of 12 women.
Ironically, this is the one thing *aaS might be able to solve from a consumer standpoint.
We cloned VMware vSphere VMs in under 5 seconds 4 years ago. Relatively easy with proper storage integration and things like refclone copies on the storage.

Problem is the VM takes twice that time to boot so it's not as impressive ;-)

(yes, it's a different idea to the OP but still pretty neat)
pre-authorisations are a thing on debit-cards, hotels and gas stations e.g. work with them a lot.
Yes, my thought was the same.

Currently if an airline drops you, demanding compensation is a cumbersome process but you can get it. So, e.g., if a flight was booked by too few passengers, the airline has an incentive to still honor the booking.

With this system they might as well say "today numbers don't add up so we just don't fly", and cancel with any excuse.

From [1], 1a "not having the mind or feelings engaged" certainly sounds like GP's meaning and is the same definition given in [2] "not having the mind or feelings engaged".

Perceptions of Germanys place in the EU from both inside and outside Germany are interesting.

Inside Germany: "we have these great ideas, but the rest of the EU won't cooperate".

Outside Germany: "Germany is basically the big bossman of the EU, along with France. What they say usually goes".
It helps in two cases: ① The airline closes suddenly, as has happened twice in Germany in the past years (Swissair and Air Berlin both left many Germans with paid tickets and cancelled flights). ② the airline cancels that flight or just that ticket, in which case the airline has to quarrel with its customer(s). It's advantageous for the customers to hold the money during that quarrel.
It actually blows my mind how Twitter decided to kill Vine when it was very clear that they had an amazing opportunity. Vine was still very popular when they axed it especially considering how many of the popular TikTok and YouTube creators today were originally big on Vine.
> Why is that cringe?

Because words have meanings:

refugee

/rɛfjʊˈdʒiː/

noun

a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.

Claiming to be a Brexit refugee when there are millions of actual refugees in Europe is cringey to say the least.

> Supposedly the economy is going to be downgraded from a developed economy to an "emerging market economy".

Anyone claiming that has no right to be taken seriously.
This is emphatically not true for USB interfaces in general.

In particular, the first readily available set of benchmark results I was able to find[1] suggest the difference in audio (not MIDI) latency between the lowest-latency PCIe cards and the listed USB devices (RME Fireface UFX+ USB3 and RME Babyface Pro [USB2]) is under a millisecond.

While I couldn't find similar results for MIDI I/O, it seems unlikely that either of these USB devices' MIDI interfaces would introduce an order of magnitude more latency than their audio counterparts.

Not word for word. But it was a speech about his project: doing more with less. He spoke about his Dymaxion car and how it met its tragic end, and his Dymaxion houses idea.

The thing that always irks me about that title "Up-Goer Give", is that "goer" does not seem to be a common English word at all. "Go" is, but "goer" is not the same thing. Quite obviously "rocket" is far more common and easier to understand.

Looking at Switzerland, which printed a lot of money in the past years but still has low inflation and had mostly deflation over the same period, there isn't a simple connection between money supply and inflation.

Inflation isn't merely a monetary issue.
I actually bought a Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, pretty much for the same reasons as you listed. The lead times for usual contenders were too high and the G14 was easy to get with the specs I wanted.

If it makes you feel any better about your purchase, I don't get great battery life either. I didn't make any attempt to optimize it, and I get about 3-4 hours of dev time out of it (yes, not very scientific, I know).

Your review was great though, I might get a framework as my next laptop assuming they are still good in a few years time.
