Steam seems to have significantly reduced the market for pirated games. Streaming did that for movies for a while, until every single production company decided start their own.
Oh definitely but it's also going to kill credit cards dead.

Why would I use a 30% interest rate credit card with 1 month interest free when I can get 3 months interest free or spread it out for like 5%? I just wouldn't, credit cards are absolute trash in comparison.

I never take the interest option but I find the 3 month options really useful for spreading payments.
Last time I mentioned on HN I was browsing the web through an intelligent agent I heard from somebody who thinks I am violating the copyright of creators. Seems like you can't please everybody.
Focus on pro consumer features by adding more features to create an updated release for which people want to stay current.

And make them recrack the latest version by changing the function which accepts serials, etc.

Note: As others have mentioned, it's going to be tough to win the arms race against someone with defeating your checks. So drive consumers to want the real thing by providing a value add.
Yup, President Comanche timeline is in a film posing as a comedy, but which is actually a time-shifted documentary with the value of T unknown (and definitely not the stated value)...
The tone of the spelljammer setting is not dark. It is more marketed towards kids in its latest iteration.

I think people just don't want to deal with slavery and race bullshit in their fantasy setting, which I understand.

So it's just annoying and tone deaf and doesn't add anything, plus the fact they are simian and transported on tall ships and auctioned off as slaves.

If you can't see why someone would would say "wow, a slave monkey race transported on ships. That sucks." Then you aren't arguing in good faith. It is not that much of a stretch to see it as a little demeaning.

Depictions od people of color as animalistic is undeniably a thing people used to do to be demeaning to them.

So I would argue you are having a failing of imagination.
I think you hit it dead on. This is design by committee and organizational dysfunction.

Strava has been flailing for years now, dropping much used features and just generally antagonizing its customer base. It's a wonder they're still around and as widely used as they are. Just goes to show how many bad decisions you can absorb as a market leader, I suppose.
I don't think the last name "Pot" is going to be clearly associated with any protected class. If they where banning all last names prefixed by "O'" or the name "Rousseau" that'd be a bit different.

Eventually taken to its logical conclusion, you end up with something that looks like the terms and conditions and contract clauses seen when signing up for a "promotional" offer price on a 24 or 36-month service term with a famously consumer abusive Canadian cellular carrier like Bell, Telus or Rogers or one of their sub-brands wholly owned MVNOs.

Or for "landline" Telus fiber based last mile ISP service bundled with TV.

Google Docs has no plugins. Google Docs is not a tool for accomplishing a task that used to be (and to some extent still is) considered a lifelong learning experience requiring significant skill (audio engineering). Google Docs does not rely on an ecosystem of several hundred 3rd party developers providing "critical" functionality for a given project.

I'm fairly sure that you will get a relatively functional DAW in the browser very soon (some might argue that it's already here). However, it is likely to be disjoint from the pro-audio "native" world because the features required by the latter are not likely to show up in the browser for a long time (this is a prediction, and I am ready to see it prove false).

I therefore see the DAW world bifurcating into an even more broken up version of itself than we already have (where Logic doesn't run on Windows, where AU plugins are macOS only, where there's no remotely acceptable portable session file format, where there's at least 3 and maybe 5 plugin APIs that any given developer needs to consider, etc. etc.)

Bedroom producers, podcasters and others with limited needs will find a lovely new world waiting for them in the browser. Live performance, soundtrack and other large scale productions will probably remain native. Some plugins will exist for the browser (just like some do for Linux today), many will not.
Great to hear that. While I’m not a big fan of Docker desktop I really wish they restart docker swarm and kill thad abomination named Kubernetes.

Docker compose and swarm are really cool technologies - easy to start with and more than enough for small and medium companies.

I really hope they would bring it back and we start seeing managed swarm from cloud providers.
Author of Blinkenlights here. I'm a professional amateur so I do everything for fun. I think it's fun to create command line Linux programs. I want to be able to share the programs I've made with other people. The browser provides an environment for running software that's safe and easy. The problem is that most existing solutions for running Linux programs in the browser require emulating the operating system too. So I built a program that implements the x86_64-linux abi, which is very small. That way when myself and others share the programs we've written, they'll load fast and download fast.
What is a good alternative? I want some analytics / tools for training specific distances.

> Humans look very much different from monkeys

Didn't stop generations of racists from making offensive comparisons. Doesn't stop them from continuing to do so.

Racism's value system doesn't care about rationality or truth.

> On a similar absurd reasoning one could claim elves in lotr are racist because the have light skin.

Amusingly enough, Tolkien did in fact hold racist beliefs, despite his fervent opposition to the Nazis during WWII. Both of those things can be and are true. His elves are very explicitly Old Norse expys (read his letters if you don't believe me) and his constant fawning over them (as pale, beautiful, skilled, and wise) in contrast to orcs (as dark-skinned, ugly, brutish, and enslaved) was criticized then and is still criticized now.

> If you mean to it's always possible to twist anything into being offensive.

It is justified to take offense at something that is, in fact, offensive.
Tricky towers was great fun when I played it a while back.
Nonsense. As a fellow Canadian I can safely say that MANY Canadians have plenty of fragile ego problems and are plenty rude too. Let's not generalize between two whole countries. Canadian media and government policy also has an obsessive complex with "differentiating itself" from American culture, to the point of becoming tedious about it, but that's another story.
the point is that just because a Finnish person speaks Swedish as native language does NOT make them Swedish! or any less Finnnish
Too bad there isn't a way to use the network of the machine running the browser... Maybe one could write some code that intercepts any outgoing network traffic from the VM, and instead of sending it via websockets to that 3rd party VPN, instead just finds packets that are part of a HTTP call and rewrites them to XMLHttpRequests. Would obviously only work for HTTP traffic, but that's probably a big majority. Might not work for HTTPS though. Oh, and DNS would have to respond with some sort of fantasy IP's that the Javascript host would have to keep track of.

> BNPL is a product that merchants pay for because it increases their conversion rate: customers who wouldn’t otherwise buy something, will buy it, by clicking a button and entering into a financial agreement at checkout.

We've had BNPL for long time here in Central America and South America. In this side of the world, it's also the merchants that pay higher credit card processing fees for accepting BNPL payments.

What's curious is that BNPL in Central and South America is actually provided by the plain old banks or credit card issuers themselves. They are also 0% interest (Tasa 0/Cuotas/Visacuotas) and can be split in 3 up to 24 months depending on the purchase.

They are quite handy for larger than normal purchases, like an unexpected car repair or a tire change. But they can also be used for vacations, iPhones, laptops, furniture, appliance. In some countries you can even split a fast food meal in 0% installments.
Strava is being massively greedy here without showing innovation over the last years.

Worse the app is still plagued with import issues and inaccuracies such as the famous Strava tax where it always rounds down distances so people stop for instance a race when their running watch shows a 10.0 km run only to find out that it was just 9.995 km and Strava shows it as 9.99 km.
Trendy? Nah, meeting pent up market demand of all the people who wanted a high-temp oven but not enough to build a janky one outside or spend thousands of dollars on a commercial one.

Granted, I haven't sprung for one yet, but it's probably just a matter of time. The price and/or inconvenience were the reasons I was holding out before, and they've solved those. I can't believe how cheap the options are now. I'd probably spend more building one of those crappy landscaping-block DIY ones, now, while before that was by far the more budget-friendly option.
> Cracked users of commercial software ARE your target market that, for any reason, can't afford to pay you.

I've gotta disagree here. SOME pirates are your target market that can't afford to pay you. I can't tell you how many times a friend has bragged to me about pirating a movie over drinks at an overpriced bar. If you can afford four cocktails at $15 a pop then you certainly can afford the $20 or less it costs to license a movie. Some people just like to feel like they're getting away with something.
The subsidy's goal is not to make the recipient's life better, but to shift consumption decisions from ICEs to EVs. The theory is that ICE/EV cost comparison is skewed by the substantial extra negative externalities of the former.

This has nothing to do with how much is in the purchaser's wallet, and shifts consumption back to ICEs on the margin.
I think they reprinted cards that they had promised would not be printed again, thus devaluing the whole market.
I've not seen studios do this (which doesn't prove they don't, of course)

It is, however, _very_ common for different groups to use unreleased or recently release movies to release a video that's just a sign post. Either the URL shown in the video leads to a malware site, or a site that charges you to see the full video, itself a scam of some degree.

For instance, you'll see this:

"name": "A Man Called Otto.2023.720p.BluRay.x264-WDC",
"files": [
{"name": "A Man Called Otto.2023.720p.BluRay.x264-WDC/A Man Called Otto.2023.720p.BluRay.x264-WDC.avi", "size": 670547315},
{"name": "A Man Called Otto.2023.720p.BluRay.x264-WDC/Readme.txt", "size": 223}

The AVI is unplayable with some generic message, and the readme has something like "to watch the movie, use this link to create an account", and the resulting website will eventually ask for your credit card for "verification purposes"

It's similar to manual memory management: you have to remember to do the other side of the thing you're doing.

Structured concurrency is one approach to solving this problem. In a structured concurrency a promise would not go out of scope unhandled. Not sure how you would add APIs for it though in Javascript.

See Python's trio nurseries idea which uses a python context manager.

https://github.com/python-trio/trio

I'm working on a syntax for state machines and it could be used as a DSL for promises. It looks similar to a bash pipeline but it matches predicates similar to prolog.

In theory you could wire up a tree (graph if you have joins) of structured concurrency with this DSL.

The Atari 800 was released (IIRC) in 1979. It was a surprisingly good platform, with a decent OS, a tolerable file system (for a slow floppy disk), and great documentation all around. I learned a lot reading the Atari docs, long before I worked there.
It's great for packaging a project in containers. The package management is actually pretty good specifically for anything server/service related, you just have to be a bit more hands on since it doesn't come with all of the bells and whistle dependencies.

The only issue I've really had is libc vs musl for some of my dependencies.

Its _tiny_ compared to ubuntu.

I haven't looked at daily driving it because it doesn't feel like it's really meant for desktop use (although I'm sure it'll work), Something like arch makes more sense if you want something more lightweight while also having decent documentation and support for desktop use, and better packaging for things like chrome, vscode, etc. Especially because of musl I suspect you'll run into a lot of issues in general.

EDIT: Also most images like python have alpine variants now which is really nice.

Docker Desktop is a godsend. I live most of my developing life in my terminal, but the ability to glance into what's going on in different services along with mounts, environment variables and logging is invaluable.
I think there needs to be a dating experience that feels mutual/equal and doesn't have completely different experiences for different genders.

Like you say 'the majority of the men flooding in are not "up to snuff"'. That's one (common) perspective, but I don't know why anyone thinks that someone from one gender is generally better than the other. Maybe one has different expectations, but that doesn't mean that the other gender is garbage like a lot of messaging around dating implies.

Yet dating apps and strategies kind of assume that men put in the effort up front before they really know who the other person is. They are put through a bunch of time and money hoops. Some people may feel they have no other option and feel pressure to act a certain way, which can lead to resentment later on. As a guy it can feel like you are constantly proving yourself with costly signals for the first month (that women don't have to do), so it's hard to relax and open up and can feel defensive.

I think dating should require equal commitment from the beginning. It doesn't have to be exactly 50/50, but as a guy, when you have to do the legwork in the apps (send 100s of messages, etc) and a significant minority of women label you a cheapskate if you don't pay for the first few dates, it's hard to not feel like you are being taken advantage of in dating.

This probably starts by not having a mentality that most men/women you meet aren't going to be human garbage. Of course, don't accept shitty behavior.

Women have issues of course and dating sucks for everyone, just my perspective as a man.

I think the model they'd prefer are references. URIs to cloud resources.
No, you cannot pick out the preference for one component of the offering that way. If there'd been a 5-cents-higher option with the better box, they might have chosen that. You can only compare the entire offerings—convenience, quality of all components combined, cost, customer service, and so on, and say that that entire bucket was what they preferred to the other entire bucket.
Of course. This is why Pocket is so vile.
Yes, an unproven hypothesis.
> It's all fast fashion, just different points along the line.

So there's only high quality tailor-made clothes... and fast fashion?, of which there may be a spectrum that goes from something like "very fast fast fashion", all the way to "slow fast fashion"?

> Yes, broccoli and kale look different, and one is a fancier class signifier than the other, but at the end of the day they're still the same species.

So you're against... clothes? And possibly also agnostic when it comes to the existence of taste buds?

I'm sorry but your line of reasoning is making zero sense to me. This is getting to the point where I have to ask: Have you ever bought clothes yourself or does someone else buy them for you? Can you put into words of your own (without googling) what makes an article of clothing like a shirt not fast fashion?
You're misunderstanding the purpose of the policy. It's not to help out car purchasers, but to shift consumption towards EVs.

It seems like we've come full circle.

> C is not simple to use. It's full of non-obvious gotchas with little to no tooling support to aid with handling the vast complexity that the problem space actually contains

Once again, C++ contains the same non-obvious gotchas plus several additional gotchas as I said initially. C++ can only ever be as simple as C, not simpler since it aims to be mostly a superset of C. Sure string handling and stuff is annoying in C, but you can create libraries for that stuff the same way C++ has. I'm not sure how else to put this.

Simplicity does not mean ease of use, and the fact of the matter is C will always be simpler than C++ because C++ aims to be a superset of C.
This is basically the plot for Accelerando but rebased onto Rule 34's having accidentally started to come true.
And it sort of makes sense that ICE’s are cheaper to maintain. There is about 100 years of experience with building reliable engines and doing maintenance on those things versus about 12 years for EV.

Also ICE’s are still way ahead in energy density (energy per kilogram/pound) even if you count the big engine with it
