I agree with recent TWiT discussion on this : we've had it good for a while - the promise of free internet but all those services cost money to keep running.

I don't have an issue with paying Youtube Premium Lite. Where I have an issue with the subs model is you're pay subs to so many services, YT Netflix Twitch, etc. It adds up pretty quickly, and costs way more than traditional TV used to cost.

Then there's the issue of online magazines. I find most even including Wired, to be too random in terms of content. Itś really easy for me to rationalize the worth of YT : irreplacable. But all those online "news" site that churn out tons of SEO optimized articles and "top ten (insert random hardware)" lists etc? Really difficult for me to warrant a subscription.

Now if someone maintained a really big forum, like there ś a few still running with tons of sub forums where you can spend an hour everyday and get a ton of interaction. Sure, I'd sub to that.

Even Reddit for me it's hard to think why I'd pay for it, even though it is also irreplacable in some way. Perhaps because it is primarily a social site, there is so much abuse, so much idiocy, so much "hive mind" and so much negativity/sarcasm overall - it easily shadows the good side of reddit : the helpful/kind replies, the sharing of useful guides etc.

So huh.. Maybe it is like the TWiT panel agreed, the "free for all" internet is dying, and some sites/ services may well disappear and maybe that's not a bad thing. Maybe there are better ideas to replace them.

If it was just me I´d bring back huge forums. There's gotta be a way to monetize those through Patreon/etc. Theres lots of small perks you can give to forum members. Maybe they still have a life in them, but they were just made seemingly obsolete for a while by "social media" sites like Twitter and Instagram.
Have you got the automatic adjustment off? The night time thing hadn't bothered me.

Yep. Was involved in medical billing software. Health companies do everything they can to “upgrade” billing to more expensive codes. Lots of AI and such.

Especially if it’s government funded.
Companies care about one thing, anybody with money.
I had no idea. Apparently it's coming to PC. Here's hoping I can finally play MGS4 on PC, as well.
It’s a nice idea in theory, but we’ve seen no evidence Von Neumann probes are even possible, or that any civilization would consider them worth investing in.

If you do the math, unless there are the aforementioned ‘cheat codes’, they frankly just don’t pencil out as worthwhile. No FTL/subspace? No ‘infinite cheap energy’ hack? No ‘infinite self replicating yet controllable builder of anything’ molecule?

No way to propagate, no way to energize, and no way to communicate at any real scale over the distances involved. Even gigawatt power, high efficiency, high precision aimed lasers aren’t going to have much luck at light year distances, and nothing is going to be useful for two way communication.

It’s easy to speculate of course, but like ‘grey goo’ it runs up against real issues with thermodynamics and physics if we stop and think about it much.

Worth investigating options of course, or talking about, but if physics is what it seems to be so far, that would perfectly explain the lack of us seeing them - they’re not useful/practical/worth the expense for anyone.
Maybe the solution is something like a search engine aggregator? A website that sends your search to both DDG and Yandex and shows you the top 5 links from both, removing duplicates. That way if something is censored on Yandex or DDG but not both, you'll still see it. Something like that would be non-trivial to implement, but a lot easier than writing a new search engine.
Reasonable people know how to use a dictionary:

"websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking"

I think that is an important point but, with that said, I'd suggest that perhaps the reason Anchor were struggling is they didn't really innovate. Rather they rested on the laurels of that 127 year heritage.

Certainly a very personal opinion but the first time I tried Anchor beers sometime in the noughties I was underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong: they're certainly better than Bud, Coors, etc., but as a Brit coming from somewhere with a by then thriving real ale scene, Anchor's beers just weren't that great. More than that, they weren't up to the standards of many other US-brewed craft beers I'd tried, many of which are at least as good as anything the UK or mainland Europe has to offer[0].

The microbrewing scene in the US has really taken off over the past 20 years so, to me, it felt like Anchor just got left behind by it. And maybe Stone Brewing have a bit more to offer[1] and it was easier for Sapporo to buy them and roll with it than to try and revitalise a brand seen as ailing? I'm not saying I like it but I can certainly imagine that perspective within the company.

[0] By the mid-2010s there did seem to be a tendency to overegg IPAs by making many of them ludicrously strong, and just trying to cram in too much flavour, not to mention the consistency of many was borderline gloopy (more like drinking blood than beer) - mercifully I think this trend may be reversing.

[1] Pure speculation: I don't remember ever trying any of Stone's beers so have no comment to make on their quality or otherwise.
I'm sorry that you are unable to comprehend that I'm bored by the simple observation that more satellites in similar orbits means that the chance of collision is higher.

The logistical argument is something new you brought up because your original post claimed nothing but a simple frequency claim, so now you're trying to pivot
It's probably true that energy is removed from the whole system, but I don't think it's correct to say that each piece of resulting debris has lower energy, some do gain energy, or lose very little.

I would have assumed that offloading the video processing to the dedicated GPU would be a good thing, but hopefully that helps with the problem.
Yeah, clearly. But that's my point. Competition law should focus on preventing lock-in like this.
For the vast majority of cases, a long COVID diagnosis is extremely lacking in rigor. The best evidence available suggests most cases of "long COVID" are misattribution:

You could argue similarly for dumping, and yet it is regulated. Companies shouldn't be allowed to invest in eliminating competition.
All the subs I follow remain highly active. From my POV the "migration" was a vocal minority that is largely still there for want of a single viable alternative.
Economists don't seem to agree.
Some* craft beer is expensive. My extremely non-scientific survey found that Anchor Steam is roughly the same price as Shiner, or Boulevard Wheat, and only a couple dollars more than a six pack of Budweiser. It's no Founder's KBS prices, but that beer fills a different niche anyways.

The craft brewers that are all making the same N-times-hopped IPAs might die off, and for the better.

If the players have fun, that's all that really matters. Remember that many of these aren't people who would magically jump in and play Skyrim if the mobile industry suddenly disappeared, even if Skyrim was given to them. It's a completely different audience.

Once again, this is deluxe entertainment, and the overall impact of spending more money on a hobby isn't the end of the world. I'm not going to judge how others use their free time and disposable income.
This is one of the reasons that you should call the local ranger station. The baseline rule is that campfires are allowed -- but (especially in the last few years) it's not unusual for fires to be restricted during the dry months.

Always call to be certain that you are aware of special restrictions like this.

Flip side: Why doesn't YouTube pay users for the work they perform on their platform, re- impressions, interactions, training? The more often and "better" someone interacts with their services, the more "free minutes" without ads they earn. If someone is a big producer of value, they earn access to tiered UHD/4K/8K or "premium" content, or they're cut a check / given credits.

YoutTube is making money, somehow, off of us. Is it not our right to reclaim the excess value we are creating for them? Why is only okay for trillion dollar companies to have free lunch?
Core inflation over the past 12 months is close to 5%. Core inflation in June, 0.2%, was much below expectations and annualizes to 2.4%.

In charts;

By this definition, it is not "craft" anymore.
I feel that that would be a pretty disingenuous claim on their part. "Oh, no-one at Meta noticed that the payload also included 'what deductions that person was eligible for', or noticed and said 'eh, seems fine to me'?"

> Or we let inflation eat away the debt, turkey style.

We kinda tried that in Italy in the '70s/'80s. Spoiler: it didn't work. Globalized money markets can be assumed to be more reactive than public policy pretty much all the time now, so they will keep raising interest rates faster than governments can handle, more-than-countering expected inflation and making the debt spiral eventually unbearable.

Even Keynes expected to pay back (some) debts when the economy does well.
If that's the same Levison I'm thinking of then I'd reckon that's elevating me a bit too much, in reality I'm rather low key.

The angle is estimation of the resolve and prospects of the strike. Does WGA have a strike fund?

There is also a big difference between a factory that can’t be stopped for months and Hollywood that can operate without scripts until the box office will indicate that you actually need writers like last time. The studio plan might be to bust the WGA entirely.
It's somewhat better in FOSS than in science-land because there are generally at least a few people who find a new FOSS project genuinely interesting and worth supporting, whereas scientific conformity is much less forgiving.

Correct. There are also plenty of people who realize that while things are possible within a system, they choose not to do them for moral / ethical reasons.
Public lands even in the west get more restrictions in the places where too many people start ruining them. It really all comes back to population density, and that shouldn't surprise anyone: nature is easier to access in less populated places.
Of course not, I just didn't see how the number of Threads users relates to tax sites selling your data.
Point taken, but the comparison is not fairly made. Word 97 is not shown in page layout mode, where you would have a lot of additional whitespace to show the margins.

25% is somewhat minor to me. i.e. one can view it as each bluray costing you 6.25 euro instead of 5.

reencoding takes time and effort. i.e. lets say an encoded movie could be stored for free (not true but useful for argument). that means if it costs you 200 euro to store 200 simply decrypted movies, it means if you would spend more than 1 euro of your time, energy ... on each movie, its better economically to not reencode it. from my experience, one ends up spending a decent amount of time per disc.

edit: the above is just my logic for why the added cost isnt much to me and something i think others should consider. there might be good reasons why it doesnt apply in specific situations, but i still think everyone should think long and hard about it.

Twitter no longer censors right-wing people like in the past, so there is no need for them to switch. Twitter still doesn't censor left-wing people, but the left-wing people preferred the previous situation where right-wing people (their political enemy) did get censored. So many of the left-wing people were upset with the subjectively worse situation, so they switched to Mastodon, which is why most of Mastodon is very left-leaning.

I'd be perfectly fine losing 5 minutes of data in case of a disk failure. After all - I can probably recreate it in about 5 minutes.

Anyone who does daily backups is effectively saying "I care about my data, but I'm happy to lose up to a days worth if there is a failure".
I have no doubt that Google is hamstringing performance on Firefox. But that is far outside of my sphere of control so I am focusing on the things I can effect.

I totally agree, something has to budge. That's one of the reasons I bought a house in a cheaper area close to family and am trying to save money, but really what can one even do to prepare for this?

I can't speak for what the OP intended, but I would consider that having aging nuclear weapons in a country with a possibly unhinged dictator who has an expansionist agenda is the result of not taking nuclear armageddon seriously.
I've worked with many excellent programmers over 40, some over 70. You might want to look for companies that are run by older folk, and maybe in more established companies.

Anecdotally, I haven't seen a lot of 40+ engineers in Silicon Valley, but here in San Diego I've never met a Qualcomm engineer under 40. Maybe geography has something to do with it.
It implies that directly. I work in cloud consulting. I have my specialties and I know a little about the other areas.

Heck, I just did a CI/CD proof of concept where the company was using Java Docker containers. I don’t know Java at all and haven’t done anything in Java in two decades (I’m a .Net, Python, JavaScript guy)

I used ChatGPT to help me create a simple Java Spring Boot app in a Docker container with JUnit tests. I freely admitted I don’t know Java and that I used ChatGPT to do Java parts. That’s not what I was brought in for just like she wasn’t brought in to do Excel.

ChatGPT propped me up just like her producers propped her up and brought her in to do a role.

If I found out that my little dummy POC HelloWorld Java/Springboot Docker container “did something wrong”, do you think I would give two fucks? Do you think I would care enough to learn Java? My job to be done was not to write a Java app, it was to teach them how to implement a CI/CD process to deliver their apps to production.
This is the first thing I thought of when Meta released Threads. I winced when hearing the name. This film is burned into my memory after renting it from a cult video shop way back in the day.
It's not a straightforward question.

40-year old VBA developer? That's a tough one.

40-year old C++ developer who loves learning? Don't give up hope and maybe look at Rust.

The future for 40-year old developers is to recognise that job certainty has gone, but opportunity is still there as long as you work hard.

I genuinely think a lot of companies are going to realise in the next 18 months that ai generated code wasn't the silver bullet they thought.
There are 4 basic options imo:

1. Start your own company - the hardest and most stressful option by miles, but most potentially rewarding.

2. Work for a startup - smaller team, greater impact, less "politics" but a greater risk of being a complete shitshow

3. Public tech company - What you did, didn't like it, most of these companies seem to be about the same now, what matters is the local management and product area's importance to the company

4. Public nontech company - The worst, tech is either seen as cost center and burden, or it's the CEO's pet project that no one understands and you're basically being paid to be a magician because the CEO read something in Harvard business review that your specialization is the future of their industry or something.

I think you should go for 2 personally, but if you have a business idea that you believe in, 1 is the best. In both cases you may realize that 3 is actually the best option for you, but not today.

Good luck!
It may be a program to create jobs. I mean, there would be no lobbyist profession if the lawmakers would take the bribes directly.
At the end of the day it all depends on the will of the individuals involved with the projects. Dolphin got a native Metal port for instance.
FireWire has multiple rates available in the FW400 cable. Consumer digital video camcorders are at 25Mbps for video + 1.5Mb for the audio and use the S100 100Mbit link speed.

Other HD formats like Panasonic DVCPro HD went up to 100Mb video running the same tapes faster.

I don't understand why you feel this topic is irrelevant. Many folks in HN are managers and thought leaders and have influence on technology that touches every aspect of our lives. In the USA, the news report a mass shooting almost every week. This affects those touched by violence permanently. How can tech help reduce this societal problem? Well, one way is to tone down the rhetoric found in social media.

Suffice to say: a shallow reading of the GPLv2 might lead one to believe that the CDDL and the GPLv2 are incompatible. And I believe SFC and FSF's readings of the GPLv2 and copyright law, which the GPL incorporates by reference, are shallow. There are quite a few reasons to believe a CDDL and ZFS combination would not be incompatible. If you want learned legal opinions expressing my/this contrary view there are a few. [0], [1], [2]. Moreover, I'd warn you that SFC and FSF are not disinterested parties. They have agendas which extend beyond whether ZFS is actually incompatible to what that might mean for the GPL.

If you want my unschooled personal understanding -- most generally, there is no reason to believe that dynamic linking creates a derived work. Without further reasoning, FSF's analysis obliterates this boundary without reference to case law, and without an argument as why this must be the case. Whereas I think there are sound copyright law reasons to think where one creates an API boundary, through the use of dynamic linking or otherwise (a modular kernel interface), fair use allows one to make use of software at that boundary.

This is a difficult pill to swallow for many FOSS advocates because this would mean closed source software modules would be permissible in combination with the Linux kernel. And while I understand their political reasoning for disfavoring this view, I think their legal reasoning is weak. I also think the FSF view makes it much harder to build software which interoperates with other software, which BTW should be a key goal of the FSF and FOSS advocates.

I'm just not sure your copyright license has this kind of power. Imagine you build some software which links to MegaEvil Corp's libc, whose license specifically states, if you link to this libc, your work is a derived work of MegaCorp libc, you forfeit all copyright to MegaEvil Corp. My feeling is any court would say building any such software at an API boundary is fair use and copyright law simply does not grant any court the power to enforce this copyright term.

More specifically re: ZFS module and the GPL, I'd dig into what is a "derived work". The GPLv2 after all incorporates the copyright term by reference at Section 0 when describing a "work based on the Program". I'd consider the ambiguity of what is the "whole" work as described in Section 2 and how that might be construed in light of the long held copyright distinction between derived and collective works. I'd also consider recent copyright jurisprudence when asking whether any court would take the view that distributing the Linux kernel and ZFS module is a copyright violation. [3], [4].

It appears it's trending up from a local bottom last year, but it's still lower than most of the past decade before Covid. Also this number isn't on a per-capita basis.
