Why is there no discussion on users losing their private keys? Ask all those cryptocurrency users who lost their private keys. Now don't tell that there are crypto wallets/vaults that manage private keys; there are many ways key can be lost even when using wallets/vaults.

We engineers live in a different world, disconnected from the regular users who have no clue what public-private keys are!

Something less interesting is testing what the polar plot looks like if you plot the angle in degrees instead of radians. Or, like in this plot, where I defined 10 degrees as exactly one complete turn around the circle:

Slightly more interesting is what the primes look like when one complete turn is defined as 1, 2, 3... 30 units:

Why was this comment dead?

Since when are HN comments policed for the word "torrent"?

Vouched it so it's visible. It also makes a valid point, torrenting is definitely a reality and denying it will not make it go away.
SvelteKit is really, really great for small to medium sized projects. The amount of stuff you get "for free" (prerendering, ssr, decent SEO) by using SvelteKit is so nice.

That being said, I definitely agree with the sentiment here that the file based routing is sub-optimal and I think the hurt goes up exponentially with the size of a project. I've also found that straying off the opinionated path even a little gets you in all sorts of trouble almost immediately. For me it was trying to add a SvelteKit app to an existing Nx codebase, did manage to make it work in the end luckily.

Btw, if anyone has found a good solution for creating an OpenAPI spec for SvelteKit server routes, let me know. :)

Hence why my last paragraph contained ways of putting restrictions in place that'd make it less practical/desirable to keep sharing. (Here's one more suggestion: Add premium content, and let anyone buy from any profile... Now you have a strong incentive not to share with people you can't trust to not buy stuff on your account... I'd never share my Amazon Prime Video access for that reason).

In terms of conversion avenue, consider e.g. kids moving out of the house. My son has his own Netflix profile. For now there's no incentive for him to get his own, and having him get his own would be impractical because he most often wants to watch it on my TV. But once he has a family of his own running into a profile limit would be an incentive to get his own subscription eventually.

A lot of people are in situations where they initially legitimately are in the same household, then move out for all kinds of reasons (flat shares, kids moving out, breakups), might not want the hassle of switching profiles right away, but eventually want more flexibility (more profiles), or privacy.

(Incidentally, a feature they really need is a "convert this profile to a separate subscription"; that goes for a lot of services that are not at all geared for a situation of kids growing up and wanting to untangle their online lives from that of their parents)

A lot of this problem would also just go away if they priced based on a combination of simultaneous streams and number of profiles and stopped worrying about where they are. E.g. there's never any reason for more than 5 simultaneous streams from my Netflix subscription. But if I had to pay per simultaneous stream I'd probably only want to pay for 3.
I am eagerly anticipating the release of the Apple Passwords App. However, initially limiting it to Apple devices alone would not be practical for most users who require password sharing capabilities.

This is similar to the case of iMessage vs WhatsApp, where the lack of a Windows/Android App for iMessage renders it unused by my friends and unpopular in regions where Android phones are prevalent.
Outlook? Never heard of that

Okay, but that asks the same question: What do you want to use the stuff for?

Imagine that I told you that I have a new venture to mine slate in the arctic. And when asked I would tell you that it is very expensive to transport slate from the already existing mines to the arctic, which makes the arctic mined slate that much more valuable. You would immediately see that this is true, as long as there is someone who wants slate in the arctic, and very much not true if there is nobody there who needs pretty roofs or blackboards.

Somehow with space this is less obvious?

I liked /Rapid Development/ too. It misses out on things like the Unix philosophy and worse-is-better, which are sort of previous incarnations of the agile/lean stuff that is very popular today.

I would assume the author just hadn't had much exposure to those ideas so they weren't even considered for inclusion. (Besides, they tend to not be researched so actively because they don't leave as many paper trails.)

Other than that gripe, though, I learned a lot from it!
What? Tons of books get new editions. It happens constantly. For example, Strunk & White [0] has been updated in 1918, 1959, 1999, and 2009. Authors release different versions of their own books. I just wrote a review of a book [1] that had a 2nd edition released in 2022 after the first edition was released in 2014. J.R.R. Tolkein retconned The Hobbit after publication of Lord of the Rings. [2] (I realize this isn't really the same thing but I wanted to give an example in fiction)

Anyway, point is, tons of books are changed after publication. I don't see why The Mythical Man Month shouldn't be; the technology is out of date and the gender issues are out of date.

Intuition of double descent: when you have the about the same number of parameters as data points, a fit curve looks like one of those shitty "polynomial fits" in excel, where away from the data points it over and under shoots the curve wildly. Lots more parameters and this calms down to give smooth interpolation between the curves.

I can imagine some tasks where people have the same problem. You're overfit to a very specific task, but outside it "when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail" and you end up doing something dumb.
Publishers have tried to completely eliminate libraries since before libraries existed in the United States. It's not about what publishers want, it's about what's legal in the compromise between authors and the general population that copyright law is.

(Really simplified answer, ignoring segments like games, where German publishers also did quite a few things ... including bureaucratic Football (soccer) manager etc.)

> Shows like Star Trek, The Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, etc. which would question or discuss complex ideas without turning them into soap operas or basic dramas.

There's something in this. Tickbox diversity is a lazy solution that doesn't really satisfy people who want broader representation while at the same time causes the rightwing culture warriors to go increasingly berzerk. Writers need to get better at doing incidentally diverse shows, because "hello I'm a token look at me" is bad characterization. Or address it by commissioning a broader range of shows from different settings; not everything needs to be a flagship.

While at the same time there are still lots of odd misses (Ghost in the Shell 2017 managed to annoy almost everybody in this regard).
Or the value proposition under the new conditions for many users is simply not there?

Paying $X per month and allowing family and friends to watch is both convenient and cheap enough so it doesn't bother you. It's like paying for electricity in a family house.

But when you are forced to be the only user of your paid account you evaluate if the cost for using a service 5-10 hours a month is truly justified.

Degrading people as "children" is not an interesting analysis. It's obvious that Netflix made their bed by flirting with users that like account sharing (long ago). It will not be easy to take that away now.
<meta> hmm one of the downsides of distributed social media here. Many mastodon instances are not up to handling a big influx of traffic from a popular post.
My textbook, at least, spent its space on the important axioms, theorems and corollaries. There were some easily-rediscovered results there, but mostly its pages described stuff that wasn't trivial to me.

And that's why it's one of the five books I have kept in the decades since.
I know what you mean, but that's not really the fault of a book.
Customers benefit from benevolent monopolies. If you can get everything you want from one place and for a good price, why would you ever shop around? One place caters to all of your needs, so you always know where to go. The problem is that having a monopoly doesn't incentivize benevolent behaviour.

If Steam is the only platform to get PC games, then I can just install Steam and get access to any game I want to play. I know how the service works, I don't need to install multiple things, my credit card is only tied to one service, etc. But if it's not, and I need to juggle between multiple places, then I need multiple clients, know how multiple different things operate, give my information to multiple companies, etc. I'd much rather only have Steam if Steam keeps their prices and service quality good. Would they if they were the only game in town? No idea, but the incentive wouldn't really be there.
Would you say the same if this was a blogpost? If the blog software cannot handle the HN hug of death, the person should use Blogspot / WordPress / whatever instead? Centralized solutions cannot be the answer to every server going to its knees.
I could imagine damming off the channel. But on the north side? It's way too wide there. It would be shorter to just dam around the entire country.

But the cost would be extreme. Shipping access isn't a major issue though. A dam can have locks.
Technical revisions, sure. At the same time books re-published to align with the political zeitgeist rarely tend to age particularly well.

They should probably use a CDN, and I imagine putting a blog behind a CDN is easier than putting your Mastodon instance behind one.

Abolish copyright. It’ll be like open-source software. The works created will be less in quality and quantity, but they’ll be works of passion, and I can watch everything. Worth the tradeoff.

My first experience with maven was the same. Then I learned what project structure , what plugin and dependency management it expects. I also read a 90 page long introduction book from cover to cover. I don't have problems with it since and every project I meet is familiar in an instant.

I like maven.
This anecdote resonates much more than explicit sharing of costs, thanks.

I suspect this might be cultural, and not just at a country level. I wouldn't dream of charging a family member £5 a month for something, I'd either let them use it or not. But that may not be true everywhere. Between friends it makes a lot more sense, but as I said I've typically seen Netflix/etc shared in families not friends, probably because the lack of money changing hands makes it easier.
idk, from my perspective it seems that the vast majority of their effort is going into an (in my opinion) vain attempt to get these models to be self-regulating and moral because of their concerns around social effects ?

This kind of thing is exactly why most of my media library is on iTunes (and Bandcamp) because for the longest time, I had to work abroad and it was the only service that allowed me to watch what I paid for and allowed me to buy more.

Even Steam used to be an issue: I could play my existing library abroad, but not purchase more until I was physically back in the country.
They also made a fantastic auto-formatter for Erlang code https://github.com/WhatsApp/erlfmt so evidently they have resources cleared for doing generally useful Erlang stuff.
There is no "can Mastodon...", only "can this specific Mastodon instance...". Not everyone wants to run their traffic through a third party, especially if they usually do not expect such an influx of requests.
A solution could be time-based exclusives.

Stranger Things is on Netflix only for X days (a month?) and then it's everywhere.

The hype train will still give Netflix its edge, because a lot of people want to watch in the first few days after release.
4. SW companies and consultancies lobby for more regulation & bureaucracy
If your cell provider is going to help stingrays connect to your phone, the government might as well just install the wiretap at the provider and none of this matters.
There's a big difference between a private copy for your own enjoyment and redistributing that on a larger scale. The first one is consuming something you were not meant to consume, with little or no cost to the rights owners. The second on is giving away something that someone else had substantial costs to produce.

In my mind it's fair game to record and watch anything, if it's an unencrypted, freely available broadcast somewhere (local laws here back me up) - That includes the use of VPNs to access it. Sports broadcasters know this and make the use of VPNs quite hard, still if you get it to work, good for you. That includes other sneaky trickery like VPNing into Switzerland, where rebroadcasting other countries' FTA TV is legal, if you can receive them there (e.g. all of the UK's FTA TV) or setting up a remote controlled TV receiver in the country for you own use.

Making these streams available publicly is a different game. Depending on where you live, passing on streams privately again may be OK - for example the country I live in allows passing on recordings to a handfull of friends.

If at any time during the chain from the broadcast to you there's a need to break an encryption to make this possible: No fair game, pirate!
Many people already pay for the service. They pay for a multi user account, the problem is that they are cutting off people that are not living under the same roof.

Then they require you to pay an additional $8 for each extra member, it that would be the premium cost (approx $19 where I live) and an additional ~$16 if you add two users. That's $35 a month for a service that is filled with woke bs content, 10% of what you get in the US due to geofencing. This is the way it usually goes for me and my gf:

1. We finally find a movie we want to watch, after a lot of time researching

2. We search for the movie name and where we can stream it for money

3. Oh it says its available on Netflix, HBO and some other renting stores.

4. Oh they were all not available to us. Sometimes we can "purchase" the movie for like $20+ but since that is just a ridicolous amount to watch a movie once we usually don't watch anything at all or pirate it for free.

I have a really hard time seeing a bright future for Netflix in the EU if they continue down this path. Honestly that is probably a good thing though, since european alternatives can take that market share.

The problem is that for europeans that want to pay for contnent it's STILL hard. I still have to download stuff from pirate sites since most content is not available to us for reasons unknown.

What do you suggest that I would do when I want to watch a movie that is not available anywhere? I am here ready with my wallet but no one seems interested.

Some random person telling me to do something does not result in me doing said thing.
The only reason I still have a Netflix account is that I was sharing it with my parents. Now I'm simply not watching Netflix anymore, and frankly the quality of the shows has been waning enough that I think I can get a subscription for one month once a year and catch up on everything that is worth watching. Ideally shows that were allowed to be completed instead of getting canceled on a cliffhanger.

If my parents decide they had enough as well, there goes that subscription.
Not sure why the downvote though.
