You can use something like Radarr to put your movie collection into sane and consistent filenames and directory structures that apps like Jellyfin can parse well and store metadata in without issues.

You can do the same thing with Sonarr for shows, and pretty much any ID3 tag editor with batch renaming for music.

Both apps seem to have better identification and normalization features than Jellyfin does.
This is absolutely ridiculous, but probably sounds plausible to anyone who isn't a software developer.

I don't like another app store. Not as a user, nor as a developer.

I would prefer first-class support for self publishing.
Want to install some app, open some-app.com in a browser, and click "download" button.

The security issues should be solved with technical measures on the OS side. Modern phones have sufficient resources for proper sandboxing at the OS level. Modern ARM CPUs even support hardware-assisted virtualization. Virtualization might be an overkill for the problem though, there're simpler ways, like abusing multi-user nature of all modern OS kernels.

Modern phones have sufficient resources for verifying digital signatures. We already have relatively decentralized global infrastructure for that, not too expensive to buy a signing certificate from verisign/comodo/digicert/etc. Can be optional, as long as end users see a clear warning "you're installing an app of unknown identity. Continue?"

Software updates don't need to be centralized either. When a user installs 100 apps from 100 publishers, I think it's OK to run 100 small HTTP requests to web sites of different publishers, couple times a month when checking for updates.
Why does it worry you? GPUs are designed to push pixels around. This a perfect use of them.
Not sure if it counts, but one of the main reasons US big tech is big is bc it was largely sponsored by federal reserve stimulus over the past 14 years.
Also like "Gell-Mann Amnesia" after physicist Murray Gell-Mann:

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
– Michael Crichton (1942-2008)

Apple's fortunes changed largely due to making the ipod PC compatible.

It was effectively the trojan horse of the Apple eco-system.

Secondarily it was due to Apple switching from PowerPC to Intel chips, allowing it to compete more broadly with support for Windows.

As an aside, Windows 10 is largely a pretty great operating system.

The whole network situation with Plex is totally f'ed. I used Plex for years, must have been ten years ago, and it all worked (how Jellyfin works now). As soon as they did plex.tv/relay, it all stopped working. I run Plex in Docker with Tailscale on the host, I have never managed to get Plex working properly on the Tailscale network.

I have checked, it seems you can put TVs onto Tailscale...so may try Jellyfin again. But I remember subtitles also being buggy and awful scrolling perf...if I can get it on my TV, I would switch back. Plex's networking is just over-engineered trash.
DST makes no sense to begin with, but it makes even less sense as you get closer to the Equator. On the other hand, permanent DST is a disaster for high-latitude places, where you’ll have kids walking to school in the dark. Russia trialed permanent DST for a short time, and then switched to permanent standard time.

With so many caveats related to DST, why even bother with it at all?

From the article:

"As Schlichting speculates, “The most logical explanation [is the miners] found a major discovery, and the mine owners gave them new jeans” as a reward. Outfitted in new attire, the miners may have discarded their old denim in the spot where they ate lunch or kept their tools. Alternatively, the men may have left their dirty clothes in the mine and ascended to the surface in clean gear, failing to return to the site and recover their used jeans for reasons unknown. A third explanation is the jeans belonged to the mine, which provided them to miners as a work uniform."

HN has a very interesting “vocal minority” thing going where certain articles will have VERY predictable comments.

ShowHN - “this doesn’t work if JavaScript is disabled” or “you should explain this product better I don’t want it”

Any hardware device: “I’ve noticed declining quality because the space bar is a very specific type of plastic now” or “I can’t even ssh into this. I miss the days when I could ssh into my shoelaces”

But there are also just insane corners of knowledge where there isn’t a lowest common denominator and it’s pretty interesting stuff.

When I do know about a given topic I don’t have to scroll TOO far to find an opinion I agree with, and sometimes an argument I hadn’t come across that changes my view.
It can be perfectly legal but still wrong, in which case it makes sense to raise awareness with the public in the hope of new laws.

You can tell all this revisionist history is written by people who did not experience it. Macbook market share grew among developers because it had a BSD shell and worked well with the web and mobile stacks of the mid- to late-2000's that were built on open source. Among non-developers it was an upsell from the success of other Apple products, especially upselling from the iPhone to the Macbook Air for which there was little hardware competition. User-facing parts of the operating system was not a reason in any of this.
Honestly the whole cloud backup thing wasn't all it was chalked up to be, at least during my time at Verizon, since it's so easy to reach the max on the base level cloud account they give out for free(at the time, 5GB?)

Cameras have a very tight energy budget. It’s not uncommon for current mirrorless camera to not get even 300 shots per batt charge. I’m not sure running a full-fledged multipurpose OS like Android would help that? And why is the software a problem exactly? I don’t care running apps on my camera.

Apple and Google are excellent at moderating against malware, and that is a serious barrier to entry. But a bunch of publishers fed up with paying Apple and Google might be motivated enough to invest in an equivalent community infrastructure.

> Do you use Plex as a client in all cases?

I use Plex on my Roku so I can watch my media on my TV instead of on a monitor. Occasionally (pretty rarely), I use it on my Android for the same reason.

And I take the Roku with me whenever I travel so I can watch things wherever I go.

> Using a different video player on my PC is a non-starter for me.

I don't use Plex to play videos on my PC. The experience is better on my TV, so I don't consume entertainment media via my monitor. To watch random video files on my PC, I use mplayer.

So how do you watch the media on your PC remotely?
I think because they haven't even announced the M2 14 and 16 inch Macbook Pros yet, which would be on TSMC 5nm like the rest of the M2s. Not to mention the mac mini, studio, and pro.

It would just seem kind of weird for them to announce an M3 on 3nm within the next 14 months given that.
That's good to see. He may want to change the wording then. It comes off much more of recruiting around the maintainers. I'd be curious what happens if they say no. But so far from what you just posted, the actions seem to speak more charitably than I read it.

The entire thing read to me like a typical venture studio model that will wind up screwing OSS maintainers out of the value they have created. I'd really consider reworking the marketing copy.

I agree.

There are clearly 2 different levels of "evaluation" at play here.

Being able to "evaluate" every security bug submitted to you in 15 minutes implies relatively insignificant bugs, or it implies that you are not "evaluating" the bugs you claim you are "evaluating".

The first time a report came in on meltdown/spectre/heartbleed whatever, there is no way any serious security researcher could have fully evaluated that report in 15 minutes. Never having seen or heard tell of it previously. Heck, just pulling together the requisite hardware and getting the requisite software on it might take more than 15 minutes. I don't buy that it could be "evaluated" in 15 minutes.
Big agree here. Trash ads were exactly the reason why I started running an ad blocker.
>the law of life

A pet tinfoil hat theory of mine is that most organisms ought to have some built in fail safe mechanism that causes populations to regulate themselves before a catastrophic overpopulation collapse. Because if it didn't have it it would be more likely to die out, so there should be a strong evolutionary pressure towards getting it.

So maybe the population growth stagnation we're seeing is due to us seeing the writing on the wall and pacing ourselves, more or less voluntary/consciously.

Also, for it to make sense in a game theory sense everyone that shares the niche needs to switch it on more or less simultaneously and it has to be embedded in the genome in a way that makes it very hard to remove by random mutation.
You're right about methane; that's much more difficult to find data on, though, especially with regard to how much would be released and at what point. But if those tipping points get hit, then nothing CO2 related will save us. Feedback loops here dying down I'll classify under the "hope they're included in the miracle that gave us zero carbon emissions" :)

I'm not convinced on your second point; I'll need to see more data. I read the paper you linked, it doesn't give hard numbers, so it's difficult to compare the net loss of carbon flux in the amazon, to gain of carbon flux in other areas that are getting net-reforested, such as the eastern United States. Examples of local areas flipping from sink to source, and others becoming larger sinks, don't paint a clear picture of the directionality of the whole system.
Of course copyright lawyers have to prove in court their means how they hunted some violation.

They would therefore have to disclose any modifications they made to an AGPL software, therefore giving insights how they hunt, therefore allow for better countermeasures.

Don't be naive about lawyers, they are aware what AGPL means.
As someone who grew up with Apple computers, yes the overall fit/integration was not as good as Apple's but it did have some semblance of preemptive multitasking (which System7/8 did not have).

What do we talk about when we talk about human populations? Like say, you want to formulate an opinion on Germanic peoples' population in history. Do you EVER talk about percentage aggregate biomass of Germanic peoples?

No, meaningful numbers are # of individuals, lifespan, sex/age composition, fertility, height, weight, etc. Percentage of aggregate biomass is not among them, for good reason.

Look, I have no problem if scientists are measuring things in an exploratory way. Let's add up the mass, subtract, play around - this fun exploration is good. But if you are doing fun exploration, don't tell me this is to "measure the richness of the mammal kingdom" and throw around a shocking "96%" as if to pretend it is meaningful. It is not.

EDIT/PS: Thought of another example - say you are studying dogs and human interaction in history. You would never think of showing historical aggregate [dog biomass / dog+human biomass] as some kind of meaningful metric. You would show dog count, dogs per human, dog speciation, etc. Not dog biomass percentage.

They buried the lede. And also failed to mention the infant mortality rate, and maternal mortality rate.
I think globalisation plays a part in this too. Some Asian cultures are vegetarian or vegan and increased ties with the rest of the world has spread their culture too.

I often eat at a Nepalese vegan restaurant and the food sure beats McDonald's or burger king. Not to mention they actually believe in veganism, they don't just have a token veggie burger on the menu because the market wants it.

They even prohibit consumption of baby food with meat on the premises :)

You're right. Just compiled the following program with clang from Xcode 14 (Apple clang version 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.102)) without issue.

#include <stdio.h>

struct foo {
uintptr_t p __attribute__((xnu_usage_semantics("pointer")));
};

int main() {
struct foo f = { 100 };

printf("%lu\n", f.p);
return 0;
}

Doesn't seem -Wxnu-typed-allocators (which I forgot to mention above) is present in my version. Didn't test the others.

I also just realized that the latest tagged release of https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/clang is 800.0.38, my clang is reporting 1400.0.29.102. Is Apple no longer releasing the source for their compilers?
We have the capability to enjoy life like no other generation before us. The difference is previous generations did not have the resources to destroy like we do now. With that being the case we must be sensible in how we enjoy ourselves, by being mindful of our existence and impacts.

While the simulation results might be true on the single statistic of mortality. Conservatism has never been optimized for that metric. The model does not seem to account for the value of liberty, opportunity, multigenerational wealth etc.

In fact many people are waking up to the concept that staying alive longer is bordering on a net loss if it means your years are significantly detrimentally impacted. To arbitrarily illustrate the idea I'd rather be very happy up to 80 than in a wheel chair from 70-90, and in a leftist state I'd lose the option to pick the pattern that's best for me.

For example an analytics tool like Piwik couldn't really work with AGPL, as it inherently can't prominently offer anything to users.

I wasn't aware of this but does it really contribute to global warming? It's not burned and its alternatives aren't much better. After all, manure is probably even worse.
