The pipe organ is surely one of the most majestic & grand instruments, and I long for the day its most frequent use won't be drab church hymns. It's capable of so much more.

It's also difficult to get exposure to. You've basically got make friends with a church music director to let you play theirs. That's not easy, especially as a queer self-taught musician—no religion, no music degree won't get you too far. It's a self-reinforcing negative feedback loop that gatekeeps its wider use.

(Yes, sample libraries work, but they're just intermediate representations of a full console with multiple manuals, pedalboard, couplers, reverberant room, etc.)
What does "genuinely works" mean?
Drew has some... strong opinions on some things, but a straight reading of the issue suggests he's being perfectly reasonable here, and it's Google who can't be arsed to implement a caching service correctly - instead, they're subjecting other servers to excessive traffic.

It's about the clearest example of bad engineering justified by "developer velocity" - developer time is indeed expensive relative to inefficiency for which you don't pay because you externalize it to your users. Clearest, because there are fewer parties affected in a larger way, so the costs are actually measurable.

I do have a dog in this, in a way, because as one of the paying users of sr.ht, I'm unhappy that Google's indifference is wasting sr.ht budget through bandwidth costs.
Seems about five others of us also linked his video in this thread :) Guess you’re experiencing the Baader-Meinhof effect, AKA the frequency illusion [1].

I'd find a better hill to die on, personally. In the big list of things I find annoying mis-addressed emails don't get close to the top.
It's distressing to me that your earlier comments made assertions about the contents of imitation crab, yet you're not actually aware of the contents of imitation crab...

It's a type of fish cake, basically. It's white fish meat ground into a paste and formed. Surimi is made into things that aren't imitation crab, too! Fish balls and fish cakes and all sorts of things.
I had it, but I always found the prince to be quite high, and they just increased it again last month so I cancelled.
> Google notoriously doesn't let engineers know the cost of what they run

Huh? I left a few months ago but there was a widely used and well known page for converting between various costs (compute, memory, engineer time, etc).
Anna Lapwood demonstrating the features of a pipe organ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzK-tYFGQx4

Edit: Although she didn't explain how they "programme" the buttons. Presumably by adjusting something in the guts of the organ.
The fact that Windows 10 can't do windows, most especially on multi-monitor setups with a docked laptop that I sometimes take with me.

Windows closed maximized that don't open again maximized but in weird places (Outlook especially) or the "new trend" where they open with the same dimensions but are not actually in the maximized state (Docker Desktop).

The fact that you can't drag windows if their draggable parts are offscreen (particularly painful if the window bar is used for buttons etc and has only a tiny part where you can grab). Also ignoring Fitts's law, mostly concerning the close button.

The virtual desktop thing sometimes takes ages to load or crashes explorer.exe and often does not change the desktop when I tell it to (it goes back to the same one). Combine this with weird "flickering" that happens sometimes and it looks really fragile.

Once I had a two instances of PBI Desktop that were minimized but couldn't be unminimized again. Selecting them from the virtual desktop overview just made them appear briefly in the middle of the desktop with wrong dimensions only to fade away a split second later (fixed by going single-monitor and back).

Autostart applications that briefly flash a window and steal your focus (Bitwarden).

Task manager has this weird problem where in some situations trying to sort by a different column takes like 5 seconds and meanwhile the mouse cursor lags and stutters.

Oh, and rearranging my desktop icons when Windows feels like.

Overall things feel so slow and brittle at times it's maddening. There's more but can't be bothered now...
Why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free? (well, $1 billion, but basically free for MS).
It's more obvious how a cliff is dangerous versus a seemingly calm body of water. Thus people are less wary about water, and more people die that way.

It's not a lie, because the results are the results. And spreading awareness of the outcomes is about reducing the exposure that you mentioned, especially amongst the unprepared/unskilled.
That is so surreal to me. I had to loan money from friends for real emergencies and always made sure they get paid - often more than they gave. How can one not be guilt-ridden until their deathbed?
Would telling them to go fuck themselves not be cheaper and easier?

Edit: I don’t have fuck you money, so I am actually ignorant of the dynamic you’re describing. I’d rather be known as an asshole with backbone than a rich sap though. One of those looks more like a mark than the other.
This may have been changed from the original cut but I recall it being intentionally unclear that the T-1000 killed the first cop. They made it look like he just passed out from a gut punch, which of course makes little sense.
> put it on your LinkedIn

I stopped doing that when LinkedIn added their loginwall.

Clearly LinkedIn wants to harvest data while at the same time making it difficult for others to do so, which would go against my interest of making it public.

So I posted it on my own website. Goodbye to another centralized point of failure/control.
I doubt it. A human should be able to tell whether they are breaking the law or doing something that is dangerous and, thus, stop. If a human moved forward with something they should have known was dangerous or illegal, it would be grounds for negligence or worse.
Terris is officially defined by The Tetris Company to have a 10x40 playfield with 10x20 of it being visible. They do not allow for arbitrary sizes. If you have to change the game for it to be capable of universal computation then you shouldn't claim that the game is capable of it.
I would do the verification over email as that means they didn't typo whatever email you gave them (easier to typo an email address rather than a phone number).
This isn't about being punished for not following rules or vows. According to tradition, there weren't even any rules in the beginning, but they developed in response to the growth of new recruits. This is a statement about the gravity of the situation for a monk specifically. To live a celibate monastic life is to be extremely sensitive and also to have an abusable power over others. Sexual misconduct is particularly dangerous for someone in a position of spiritual authority.

The example is extreme because it is meant to put the problem into context. Everyone can immediately think of someone harmed by religious sexual abuse, but the idea that it's the context of the sex and not the sex itself is still difficult for us to understand because of our preconceptions. Buddhist morality always focuses on intention and context. The rules for monks and lay people are completely different for a reason.
Sometimes people just want to watch a movie and have fun. Not every movies needs to be Schindler's List.

What is the reason structured logging is bad? I'm curious, as I felt like it made my life a lot easier.
That's not how the proxy works. The proxy automatically refreshes its cache extremely aggressively and independently of user interactions. The actual traffic volume generated by users running go get is a minute fraction of the total traffic.
If I can afford to lend a friend money, I can afford to just give it to them. I don’t want to hold money over a friend’s head.
It really depends - for most crappy non-fiction I'd agree, but the really great ones are different.

The Emperor of All Maladies, The Gene, Our Mathematical Universe are some that are better because of their book format. I'd put Hackers in that category too (along with pretty much all the books by Steven levy).

The phoenix project is a lot more entertaining as a novel too thought that kind of blurs the lines towards fiction.
I friend of mine has "common short personal name" at icloud.com, me.com, mac.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com, proton, ...

Importantly, one of those is bound to his iCloud account. During the holidays, he has an alternate "burner account", since his account can receive multiple reset requests per-minute for a couple of weeks. He estimates he gets 20000+ reset requests per year. According to him, it's just part of living his best life.
What does this mean for life on earth?
I'm surprised American McGee hasn't paid him back prior to this. I always assumed that McGee was more successful than he apparently was.

Probably due to him putting his name in front of the game's title.
Not so. And even if it were so the statement he is making is still false - I’m absolutely certain not everyone who has investment expectations expects 100 x returns in 2-3 years. It’s a very sloppy tweet.
Same here. If I'm able, I'll loan whatever amount necessary. Some people pay it back, some don't. I never tell them they have to and I never expect them to. In most cases it's been worth it, because 1) they know they can count on me when they're having trouble (and that's important to me) and 2) I've found they'll help me in whatever they can if I do need help.

I've also asked friends for money and I've been incredibly grateful to have people who have had my back in that way. There's a sense of security there that's invaluable.

Some people are just perpetually bad with money and always come back for more, and that's okay too. As long as I can afford it, I don't mind helping somebody out of a tough spot, even if it's semi-regularly.

I wonder if Carmack ever regrets lending money to somebody.
I believe you're referring to Richard Proenneke's documentary Alone in the Wilderness. He spent 30 years in a self built cabin off a lake in Alaska filming wildlife.
Why should you opt-in to a No-DDOS list ? Why is it not the default ?
The sound track of Interstellar? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_(soundtrack)
I don’t know exactly when it happened, but nonfiction books have become 80% filler with a few dozen pages of worthwhile ideas. This didn’t use to be the case and if you read a popular book from say, 1910, they are often too information sense.
So, what you're saying is, without Jones, they would have taken the ark to the Fuhrer, and upon opening it, the Fuhrer and all of the attendant Nazi leaders would have had their faces melted off, thus probably ending WWII.

So, Indiana Jones prolonged WWII. Got it.
I think it's the whole push to "decamp" the comic books when getting them to the big screen. It just makes them so much less interesting than source material.
In the description he says his grandparents own a forest, so, I guess it makes finding the land and getting all the trees a lot easier, compared to if I or you want to do it. If I had to guess he lives in his grandparents' property now.
> hundreds of blogs on my list haven't published anything for years

I had that feeling too, until I realized that it is just a matter of finding new feeds. Unlike media houses, we cannot expect individuals to continue to produce interesting content, and that is why RSS feeds dry off. However, new ones are popping up all the time and it is just a matter of finding good ones. I think RSS is thriving.
Deere's forgotten the point of their business: to provide farmers with what they need to do their jobs.

When you make the company about maximizing profit, you interfere with the purpose of your business. You now get in the way of your customers getting what they need and want. This has been proven by Deere, getting in the way of farmers fixing their equipment.

Deere could have instead opened their business more to repair, maximizing trust and reliability with consumers. Truly maximizing their gain in the market. Instead of making themselves the most desirable business in the market, they tried to trap people into inefficient overly-expensive time-wasting processes for the short-term gain of some shareholders and some greedy shallow executives.

I personally consider Linear algebra to be foundational in AI/ML. Intro to Linear algebra, Gilbert Strang. And his free course on MIT OCW is fantastic too.

While having strong mathematical foundation is useful, I think developing intuition is even more important. For this, I recommend Andrew Ng's coursera courses first before you dive too deep.
I remember Carmack mentioning in a podcast a list of seminal papers that Ilya Sutskever (@ilyasut) gave to him to learn AI foundations. I would love to see that list.
Basically, the exception which proves the rule.

I sincerely doubt most folks could name other titles which prominently feature organ as a focal instrument in a work. There's more, of course, but Interstellar tends to be people's first example.
Sure, but with it, the biggest impact will likely be... spam in logs on the Google side. Short-circuiting a request from a specific user agent to a 429 error code is cheap, compared to performing a full git clone instead.
There can definitely be some downsides to this approach. For example, let me see what the CI script does to deploy. "make deploy", ok let me checkout the Makefile. Ok, that calls some python module "deploy.py". I tend to get frustrated with all the indirection and would prefer to just see the deploy steps in the CI script itself.

It seems like it'd be a national security issue at the very least. Those databases also contain an up-to-date financial picture of government employees holding security clearances. Even if clearance holders are nominally supposed to remain above-board and unsusceptible, I'm willing to bet that enough data mining would allow decent targeting. The DoD is already monitoring those employee's credit reports, so clearly there must be something actionable in them and it's quite likely they miss something.
PM2.5 Air Filters do not remove the gasses and VOCs released from burning natural gas.
In places I've worked it wasn't uncommon to see the occasional Wyse, VT-100, Lear Siegler, or other dumb terminal that had a brightness control modified by a simple, taped-on, tinted report cover from the office supply cabinet.
I think it's also a bit different compared to 10-15+ years ago. At least then, if you were someone in their teens through 30's, chances are - if you had a computer - that computer was a desktop computer. If you already have some random Dell or HP sitting in your bedroom or office, it's a bit less of a stretch to imagine the average person going out and buying a nicer GPU and maybe a bit of RAM for $300-500 bucks.

But with the move to mobile/laptops this becomes a choice between spending that cash on an Xbox and some extra controllers, or buying a whole separate computer.

I love playing on a PC (looks great on my TV!) but I can't say it would be an easy purchase if I didn't already use a fairly powerful desktop PC for other things as well.
And the gas stove still works during hurricanes.
After wondering for 20 years why people got shocked when electric safety is common knowledge, I got shocked myself twice in one year because I was stupid
Agreed. I like keeping make as my universal abstraction for all commands in a project. I keep a template to use on each new project with all the best practice fixes I've found over the years. I keep my own documentation as comments for things I often forget about how to use make. I have the same for bash scripts too.

I like to also use the same commands in by build pipeline. It ensures I'm running the same commands as I do locally, with the added benefit of abstracting the deployment logic from what ever CI system you use.

Some issues I've found with this approach is having to install make on a build system, which these days is a slim docker container.

Some devs still run windows, but I think you can install some kind of equivalent.

I always enjoyed the longer cut of Aliens. Where they show some of the life on the space station before the Aliens actually show up. I always found that whole backstory very interesting - but you only get very small glimpses of it in the theatrical release.
I still think it's funny how now some people after watching new SW trilogy go "hell, prequels weren't that bad after all"
You're right, I am looking at US causes. I didn't notice you had said Worldwide, but regardless I would say the US data is more relevant to readers on this site.

But I think you're missing my broader point, which is that even living in a smoggy coal-burning area like China it's still not reasonable to say "might as well smoke, I'm already exposed to other lung cancer risks." That's like saying "My car is older and not up to modern safety standards, and I'm probably going to die in a crash anyway, so I won't wear my seat belt."

You have a risk factor that you can't do anything about, and that does push up the statistics about how many non-smokers get lung cancer, but smoking is still a pointless additional factor that will only raise your odds of getting lung cancer further.
Yeah, NONE of the big launchers including Steam have really perfected handling your gamesaves. I recommend this freeware to make sure they are backed up:

https://www.gamesave-manager.com/

Even if you have a full computer backup, it is convenient to use this since every dev has a different idea of where the data should go and this collects them all into a single directory.
What metrics do you use to identify vacuous books? My current methods so far:

1) Check user reviews for complaints of repetition

2) Read the Table of Contents. If the chapter titles seem more "narrative" (e.g. The Man that Couldn't Tell a Lie..) I expect the kind of fluff I see on social media.

3) Read a chapter towards the middle or end of a book and see if it is building on prior concepts or just rehashing them and presenting new, potentially irrelevant information.
other than demand? why invest tons of $$ into something when it would take forever to recoup your investment?
I've always heard the best way to get rid of someone from your life is to loan them money. People who owe you money make themselves scarce.
That said the film was improved immensely by cutting the scene of the T-1000 using touchy feely scan of John's house and the pointless and sadistic killing of his dog.

I can enjoy Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, Terminator and Raiders.

You're not well versed in cinema history of you think Raiders was the first successful mass market action adventure. It just happened to be a really good one.
It could be the different motherboards. Phoronix used an ASUS for their Intel tests while TweakTown had a Gigabyte.

Lots of tweaks on motherboards, i.e. give the CPU a bit more voltage than standard and it will boost more and your motherboard gives users more perfomance.

Also just differences in measuring, was it from the wall or via voltage pads on the motherboard.
"What a time to be alive!"
So many non-conclusion in nutrition. My father has subscribed to 3 cardiologists they are somewhat 70% overlap and left 30% non-consensus. Read some papers (only read abstract mostly). When I read all of these I only treat it as raw data, listen to your own body is closer to the truth. Debugging your body is kinda not fun since it takes a lot of time in iteration.

I found my brain burn a lot of energy even if I just sit for a couple hours. So breakfast is needed.
Keep in mind that this chain is > 20 years old (was there in 2002 when I studied at PKU). There is a lot of Taiwan food in the mainland these days that isn't labelled covertly.
So, it's this the typical corporate playbook tactic of offering a little concession to sap the momentum behind some positive legislation, after they've realized they can't kill it outright through regular lobbying?

I bet in 5-10 years they'll be back to doing everything they can to make repair impractical.
That paranoia is the creeping realization that civilization coddles us to the point of uselessness in the face of trivial survival challenges, and that nature actually cares not one jot for your continued existence as a living being. I’d modify your statement to say not that nature is trying to kill you, but that you’re irrelevant. The difference is deeper than it might at first seem.
> I feel like this is very true for topics that are extremely shallow, like programming language frameworks.

I'd argue that the framework in question matters a lot. If you could link me to a blog post to get me up and running on Rails, I'd ask for a link (seriously, would be interested).

For vast frameworks like that, I think a book could be very beneficial. "Getting Started" sections can focus too much on streamlined starts when (at least personally) I'd love to dive into how the ORM works for more complex joins instead of just a single "get all" query for a single table.
BTW, in the long dialog that I had with it, ChatGPT created many different versions of this code with varying degrees of matching my spec. Every version sort of matched my spec, but at the same time each and every one of them was broken in various random ways. None actually worked out of the box. As with all of these grammatical confabulation engines, they fall headlong into the uncanny valley, looking sort of like a program, but when there's a right and wrong, they tend to end up on the wrong side.
the median matters as in most distributions that's what others will see as "representative" of the whole population.

Unfortunately with our amazing engagement-maximizing hate machines like Twitter/Facebook/FoxNews (and their older, but still generally fucked up kin,
0-24 news cycle, MSM, Hollywood) what people think of other people can be very distorted, but there are trends that percolate through.

The original post basically has a claim that "Ireland is more like UK now than it is like old Ireland", which is true, but it doesn't explicitly talk about how "UK is also not like old UK". (Those London inspired bars are themselves inspired by NY bars.) It just mentions how Irish cultural politics is American.

> The idea that drifting from the median of a given ethnic/cultural group invalidates you as a member of that group is disturbing. Doubly so with race.
