This looks cool and I like the idea of going back to having my own collection, but what are you doing for discovery now? I'm really tired of the same ~150 songs spotify really thinks that I like.
You taking apart languages, saying this is imperative part and this is declarative. That does not make sense only entire languages can be described like that.

But if you want:
In the recipe the ingredients can be "int y;", like declaration, or something else like malloc()
Stating that i will need something is not declarative programming. Declarative is defining the end result. So none of the ingredients or the declaration are declarative programming (if you want to turn recipe to declarative, you go to a restaurant), but as i told, you can't do this with elements of languages, it just does not make sense.

In practice language paradigms can overlap related to concrete products. You can use (and actually should) c# for functional programming, but that does not make the language functional, the fundamental design is imperative. In the future, everything will be declarative (chatgpt is the first glimpse), so in some way we're just wasting our time here. Also, speaking about AI, model training does not fit any of the current paradigms, it's gonna be a new one, and maybe the only one, who knows...
Nice, I have a short on mine that I need to suss out this weekend so this kinda helps.
The Existential Wonder of Space
Some Ubuntu security patches are now behind 'Ubuntu Pro', a paid product
Back in the day at 3Com, Bill Krause used to announce that everyone had to take two days of vacation in the coming quarter. The reason was that he had "promised" Wall Street that we would hit a certain earnings number, and with accounting practices, your accrued PTO is "paid back" when you actually take it.

(The rationale is, they'd have to hire someone to do your job when you're gone, although of course that's nonsense for engineers.)

No one on Wall Street was fooled by crap like this, and I doubt Intel's moves will make any difference, either.
That's true. It does not acknowledge this limitation when communicating with the user, even when I prompted the model with suggestions.
No, the opposite. Look how much tech stocks boomed after Covid. WFM unlocked considerable productivity that was wasted at the office. People were wasting money and time on commuting, which resulted in fatigue and less productivity.
Free market economies also offer a solution to this problem. Restaurants close due to lack of demand, and the workers find jobs doing something else that is in demand (e.g. food delivery).
Here's a nifty python module for testing against postgres that a friend wrote. It creates a temporary database on the fly for testing and tears it down at the end. You can then populate the database and run all kinds of integration tests against it.

Yes, I have PopOS configured to use four-finger gestures to navigate workspaces and bring up the overview of all open windows in a workspace.
I do this. While YouTube Music is just okay, the issue with paying for ad-free YouTube videos is more content creators are doing sponsored videos. So, the majority of YouTube's videos are laden with these sponsored ads and this severely degrades the ad-free experience.
Cars are registered property, just like houses. Clothes and family photos are not. How would you tax them without registering titles for them?
I like to find a new genera of music and if I like the song I will choose the radio option. Spotify says "Get a collection of songs based on any artist, album, playlist, or song, with Spotify Radio." but in my experience the radio playlist is not (only) based on the song I'm playing because it also mixes in a bunch of recently played songs that are normally unrelated to the song genera I'm listening to.
What a sad, money grubbing set of actions from Heroku. Tarnishing their brand forever to save a few dollars. Shame on them for doing this. There were so many better ways to deal with this and still save money in the longer run such as, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33759178.
Unlike other states, land ownership and water rights are untethered in Colorado. To use water on your land, you need to negotiate or litigate in a bespoke court. To speculate on water by buying land means you’re anticipating changes to Colorado water law.

Elsewhere, leverage is not always litigation. For example, California might be able to divert water away from Las Vegas and Phoenix:

It does. In fact, not only does JSON support big ints, but it supports arbitrary-precision base-10 decimal numbers.

Whether your JSON parser will preserve the precision correctly is another story. For JavaScript/ECMAScript, you'll need to use a library.

I never got into spotify because it was missing too many smaller artists back then. They are on there now, but I went back to buying music. On bandcamp [0] if possible, Amazon otherwise, and CDs as a last resort [1]. Recently put it all on my home server running jellyfin [2] (tried navidrome [3], but the interface was even worse), though mostly I still play it via network share on my desktop music player MediaMonkey [4]

Why do people in (at least some) poor countries work more (not necessarily more productive for lack of machinery etc, but certainly more) than those in rich countries? I believe because they need to do more to survive or increase their quality of life.

I'm convinced that there are many things that need just raw manpower thrown at them to make society run as well as it does, and if we all did what in Germany is called "Dienst nach Vorschrift" (aka only do the minimum contractually required), we'd quickly end up with things falling apart. To me it roughly boils down to Kant: act in a way that could be made into law. To prioritize ones leisure and comfort over the needs of society doesn't feel like something we could make into law and still keep being a society.
The NIMBY locals always think they represent the community when poll after poll shows that they do not.

The process has been setup to allow a few squeaky wheels to have veto power over change. It's just pure narcissism of the NIMBY that all the other community members have the same belief as them.
Remote Work Considered Harmful: A reflection on corporate absurdity
Not saying we don’t need to use data. Question is - is there a blockchain solution that would allow to lend, controlling risk, similar to how people do it with digital banks nowadays

In status quo - does the bank really have to know your name and ID? I think no, the banks just need the info about you - how much do you spend, how did you repay previous loans etc? I built some fiat lending scoring engines

For the sake of discussion:
- can we use transaction information in blockchain to score?
- can we use some kind of credit history on blockchain?
- is there a way to make sure a single person doesn’t take too many loans using different addresses?
Eg use some identify key, that doesn’t disclose personal info, but makes sure this key unique per user
Highly recommend his channel if you're interested in music production, I particularly enjoyed his tutorial on programming Dexed (a fantastic soft DX7 clonee).

Music wise, I miss his earlier stuff.
I would suggest that the current economic crises are a massive ocean swell on which WFH is a tiny ripple.

Are some city cafes likely to go under because people aren't coming into the office? Probably.

Are people being forced to eliminate every single discretionary expense so they can pay their bills and eat in the same month? Yes, absolutely. Are some households only surviving because WFH is letting them avoid transport expenses, and reduce food costs? Also yes.

Our mortgage + insurances + rates + mobile/internet + utilities + basic food = almost what we're bringing in this month. And the last payment on the bathroom reno we started five interest rate rises ago will probably be due this month too.

So, define "economy". This bit of the economy would probably run out of money to put fuel in the car if I couldn't work from home.
Just to clarify - do you think that situation is a positive thing, negative thing, or no opinion with regards to it?

I say this as someone who grew up around some places that fit your description.
This thread shows that there are outliers that are non-duplicated in the training set that still show up in results.

The first part sets up the second part that unlike the GPL, the MIT license doesn't require that future contributions to the project be any particular license.

Presumably the OP can find the open source project MIT licensed without the company's contributions to it.

The only thing that the MIT license requires is:

> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

It doesn't even require attribution in the compiled application or any other notices.

And so, it is possible (and I would dare say likely) that the contributions that the OP made while working on the repo at the company unless specific permission was given otherwise would be considered as work for hire or as part of the work product as condition for employment and completely owned by the company (and not MIT licensed).

If the OP thinks that they should have access to the code because of the MIT license, that is something to take up with a lawyer. My IANAL senses suggest that that would be rather fruitless.

I don't find GitHub's model particularly surprising but rather the most reasonable one that opens GitHub up to the least liability for accidental disclosures of content. Error on the side of least privilege and if there's something to work out beyond that, that's something for the contributors to work out themselves - GitHub isn't the arbitrator for that.

How about "code does what it does but comments say what it might have once, and possibly still might do?"

You can have your pipeline regression test code, but not comments. Just recently my mentee found some of my code where I had changed the code but not the comment. I'm a horrible human and wasted his time. If that comment hadn't existed the code might have taken a moment to understand but as it was, he wasn't sure which was the intent.
Bulk import cloud resources into Pulumi
Seems like it's working as intended. The code is MIT-licensed, but github doesn't know that. It only knows that you were allowed access to a private repo, and that access was revoked. This is supposed to save you the trouble of going through all of your forks and ensuring that you aren't retaining any code from an organization you left. Personally I make new github accounts for every new org I join, but that's just me.

> not to be pedantic

(proceeds to be extremely pedantic)
Success and dysfunction are often bedfellows. Look at some of the most successful companies, and internally, they are an outright shit-show. But - for many different reasons - they make a shit-ton of money and defeat all competitors.

Like, with these 2,000 people locked out of devices? Assuming they're contractors? It probably won't affect the bottom line at all. A minor nuisance, monetarily. Easy to route around; just work people harder until the problem is solved, or take a minor write-off and play Tetris with the books to make it look like you actually made money rather than lost it.

But if you want to have a company where people are happy to work, you absolutely must have non-asshole leadership.
We’ve also generally become incredible sedentary during almost the exact same time frame.
It's difficult to skim the stream of symbols and instantly recognize concepts. Think of a word finding box puzzle in English (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=word+finding+puzzle&iax=images&ia=...). It helps if you add spaces and periods, but I still think kanji make it easier to quickly pick out concepts.

In this video, Yuta compares different ways of writing the same sentence and discusses efforts to eliminate Kanji: "Why Do Japanese Still Use Kanji?" • https://youtu.be/O27TgLW6pCU?t=220

Another analogy: I find the flat enunciation of "voice to text" on my phone a bit difficult to follow. I can understand if I pay attention, but I can't passively listen and multitask like I can with human read text (@see - The Guardian's "The Long Read" podcast).
If an algorithm controls what I read then I will end up reading nothing but what I've read before and puff pieces to validate my preexisting opinions. Fuck that.
yeah my sister got to the point that she likes the taste of anti-fingernail biting liquid after she used it trying to break her anxiety induced habit. evidently the minor relief nail biting provided was enough of a positive reinforcement to begin associating the no-bite stuff with the releif, and now gives her some weird Pavlovian response.
People making $250k on average getting laid off is admittedly less of a tragedy than people making $75k on average getting laid off. The former would have more opportunity to save and potentially less impact on their lifestyle and financial stability.

But the laid off workers have a lot more in common and a much closer standard of living with each other than with the billionaires whose wealth their layoffs are serving to marginally increase.

A huge percent of the premium users likely started as free accounts, or heard about Spotify from someone with a free account, etc. It also gives more bargaining power, listener data, mind share.

Hey guys turns out I actually enjoy the satisfaction I get from working. I certainly value spending the afternoon working leaves me happier at bedtime than if I watched YouTube or whatever.
It’s anecdotal but I have been feeling a sense of a war on work as of lately.
I have three main sources of discovery now:

1. Last.fm: I've been scrobbling for years, and Last.fm is weirdly good about giving me recommendations I enjoy. I'd say ~80% of its "personalized homepage" recommendations hit the mark for me; I like that most are linked to YouTube so I can quickly confirm whether they're a good fit.

2. Bandcamp: I try to buy most my music via Bandcamp, and I use artists that I like to discover similar music/bands that they like. Subjectively this feels a little less fruitful than Last.fm, but it's definitely more expansive.

3. Social recommendations: I run a server that multiple friends use and upload to, and they tell me when they've added something new that they think I'll like. I also listen to an Internet radio stream run by friends, and I go to a lot of local shows.

By ratio, I think I probably get 50% of my new music through Last.fm, and then 25% each through Bandcamp and my social sphere.

It seems surprising that Intel either doesn't think that retaining top talent is in the interest of shareholders,

When everyone around you is laying thousands of people off, your top talent isn't likely to leave you, regardless of what indignities you heap on it.
Can you share some pointers to embedded jobs that pay well? It's been a source of fascination over the years the way embedded jobs that sound as if they are important, challenging and interesting pay a fraction of other programming jobs.
The behavior is perfectly well defined... there's no special cases for integers vs. rational numbers, they're all the same.

For example, given multipleOf: 0.3, and an input of 0.9, 0.9/0.3 is 3, which is an integer, so would be accepted. A value of 0.8 would be rejected.
I was referring to the fact that most of its funding comes from the industry. And there's a revolving door for the FDA guys to work in the industry as well, which is the hallmark of utter corruption.
It's interesting the comments here are about (a) dead-end jobs where they don't care about you (b) poverty and such (c) jobs one only tolerates vs self-realization.

The article however is about the upper-middle class men. So, these arguments are really irrelevant to them (except maybe the caring bit, but I doubt career-oriented people are unaware of how little companies care about them - they can, after all switch, companies). In tech, I've met tons of people who work a lot because they like it and people who could have obviously retired (startup exits) but keep working anyway, in not-so-glamorous jobs, some even as ICs with all the attendant BS.

Apparently less people identify with work and want to work, for a reason that Atlantic fails to tease out. Atlantic claims it's better this way but I'm not so sure. Better for whom? I'm not even certain it's better for the upper-middle class men themselves - would they get some better ways to self-actualize instead? Not a given. It's unlikely better for the economy, or for anyone else really.

Everyone has different preferences. Based on those they get different outcomes.
I actually have also met, and read on HN tons of people in tech who kinda resent people who work a lot because it makes them look bad. But many cannot admit this to others (or themselves) so they invent all kinds of justifications about how it's bad for people to work hard for an uncaring company not being a founder, or how it's better to have kids or go surfing and be a balanced person, or whatever. And really this outcome of getting more done is bad and maybe even fake and they are not better than me!

It's like the books about athletes, where they always emphasize that people who realize their genetic potential are the ones who love the grind and train a ton in a structured way (practicing serves, reading chess books, doing drills, whatever it is). If you don't like the boring repetitive training, and don't force yourself, you won't get as good. Then you can either say "well, I am not as good at training so I'm not going to get good at this sport, it's my fault only, and that's ok". Or you can come up with some excuses or devalue others' outcomes.

This article is just the latter "oh I was too lazy to practice serves so I never got good at tennis, but all those tennis players kept practicing even after making a bunch of money. Well now they are stopping and it makes me feel better, so I conclude it's better for society"
I have subscribed to eight different streaming services for movies, music, audiobooks and books, and I have a large game library in Steam and Epic. I still prefer to use pirated copies of the same things that I can access legitimately through these subscriptions; they just provide a vastly superior experience.

Games are much better in pirate releases where you are not riddled with bullshit launchers and online "services". Music, Audiobooks and Movie rips shared on the high seas are of much superior quality and high-efficiency encodings than those provided by Netflix and Spotify. And don't even get me started on Book DRMs. Not to mention the things you paid for can be taken away without consequence at any time in these services. So keep your "anti-artist" rhetoric to yourself, most of those scared of piracy are often just scared of losing out on their cheap income in fears that more people will realise the actual quality of the "art" before buying than they would have.
It’s been great for my economy. I used to schlep an hour each way on MUNI, 5 days a week, to an open-plan office where the sound of ping-pong games in the background drives me nuts with distraction. Now I’m taking a year to do a work-remote tour of the food capitals of Latin America. I’m currently in La Paz, Bolivia, where a 10-course tasting menu at one of the region’s 50 best restaurants[1] runs $70 USD, with wine pairings.

Anyone who thinks they can put the toothpaste back in this tube is kidding themselves.

That seems pretty simplistic. Optane and Larrabee were bold efforts. (Heck, so was Itanium). It's not like they didn't try throwing money and R&D at things. But that isn't always enough.

They made a decent effort with Xscale too, to be fair.
A fair number of the hashicorp tools use ember already, including Nomad, Vault and Boundary. I think Boundary is newer, so they're likely still using it for new projects, though both Consul and Waypoint aren't using it based on the repos.
