>I don't listen to the same things I listened to 25 years ago - at least, not often. I want new music from time to time,

It sounds like you want new music all the time. If you don't listen to "old" music often and only listen to new music from time to time, what do you listen to? So technically, 25+ years is considered classic. What is the definition of "new"? 1 year, 5 years, 10 years? What is newer than classic, but not new, modern? Is a song 15 years old modern? To me, good music is timeless. I enjoy stuff from the 1920s, 50s, 60s, 70s, the good stuff from the 80s, all the way through today.

It's not that slow for me, but there's quite a lot of evidence that it depends a lot on your hardware and screen. Intel Macbooks are notorious for overheating if connected to a large / hi-res enough display which then causes CPU throttling of the entire machine.

As for starting a Java program in a Maven project - are you sure that's IDE overhead or is it also slow from the CLI?
Bump. interested as well.
Elon does not have principled notions of speech -- his only principle is power and money. When Kanye starts to piss off advertisers? He gets banned. When reporters piss on Elon during live audio chat? The entire feature is immediately shut down, right as the event is ongoing.

PG got his account disabled just for mentioning his other social media presence. When most people are thinking about the thresholds for speech they most certainly aren't drawing the line around whether you can talk about competing products.

This is coming from the guy who thinks it's fair play in speech to repeatedly accuse an emergency rescue worker of pedophilia, which he clarified as having sex with underaged Thai boys.
Awesome. Thanks for letting me know. Can't wait to watch your London Clojurians talk
> I can't remember if they ever sold their software in the first years of Macs or if it was bundled with the hardware.

In the early OSX era they used to sell their office suite separately. Eventually it got bundled with hardware for free. They still sell some software, like Final Cut Pro.

True. Over time, I noticed less undesirable weight fluctuation and even weight loss when eating pasta. Also, it felt like a light meal.

The trick is to not eat pasta with bread. Many people forget about the bread that they commonly combine with pasta and then blame the bloating and weight gain on the pasta that they had.

I'd imagine that cutting out red sauce, which commonly has added sucrose, would be better still.

Pasta is unique in that it seems to be beneficial, in terms of glycemic load, when eaten on its own. But combining it with other foods, but especially bread, may render it more taxing than other foods.

Which is a common trait of food combinations.

I use the A.I. tools in Photoshop (Adobe Creative Cloud) all the time. I don't ask it to draw anything fancy with a prompt but I use it to infill and outfill photographs all the time.

For instance in

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/110607460518784045

there was a white splotch I removed. When I put that photo up in context it didn't look properly vertically centered so I got it to draw an extra row of bricks at the bottom. (Not shown in those toots) I could do things like this with photoshop before but it was a lot of work. Now I can do it in 10 seconds and usually get it right the first time.

Wow that place looks rad.

Another early one was @Cafe! They broadcast using CU-SeeMe when it came out for testing from Cornell. Back in like 94? smth like 256x256 greyscale, 1-10fps if we were lucky, but a pretty reliable audio channel and text console for group chat.

Anyone here from there? I was critt34 from CMU.

A memory.. I met Seal on it once! He was at a party in LA and the host had CUSeeMe opened on the same reflector @cafe usually hung out on. I was DJ'ing Ministry on the channel from my dorm room at the time and then someone came to comment on the music.. and I suddenly recognized him.. OMG, you're Seal! He laughed and we talked a bit about Koyaanisqatsi and then he said he was helping on the soundtrack for Naqoyqatsi.

Sway bars have been around eons before the 00s - its widespread adoption of electronic stability control that reduced suv rollovers.
This has not been my experience at all with SaaS.

I find SaaS products, including ones I have paid for, disappear at a much greater rate than the rate at which the desktop tools they replaced stop working.

There's also next to nothing I can do as an end user when they do disappear. If I'm very lucky, I get a limited window to be able to export a portion of my data. But we've eroded data formats to the point where even if I can export my data, there might be nothing to plug it into. What good is a CSV, even, when what I need is a tool that processes the data in the CSV? There's no option for me to keep an old machine or a VM around and self-support on a discontinued piece of SaaS.

That's to say nothing of the price hikes. $10 a month today becomes $14.99 next month, $17.99 in a year, and before you know it the proprietary system you've locked yourself into now costs five times what you originally paid. Sure, they might add some more features, but since it's SaaS, in many cases you have no choice to seek out a different vendor to provide the same feature, as again, your data is locked up in a format you can't easily extract and work with elsewhere.

"That was around the time that certain leaders in AOL realized that the Internet Operations group under George Boyce was effectively taking over the entire company, and so of course that had to be stopped. George was given a title without portfolio, and all his people were scattered to the four winds of the company."

So I'm no stranger to middle and upper management Machiavellianism and the costs it inflicts on the organization as a whole, but was that a case of a guy getting too big for his britches and starting to order around / dictate to other bigwigs with the "wrong title", a lack of experience in defending budgetary turf, or the classic tech guy solving problems while the business peers simply scheme?

On a sort of related note, it is kind of saddens me that the historical record of hierarchical organizational decisions aren't preserved / document well in critical areas. There's documents and records out there likely showing where global warming research was suppressed by oil companies, cancer research by tobacco companies, or whatever it is that Halliburton gets away with (apparently funneling aid to Russia currently, but that may be a partisan hit job).

There are usually well documented hierarchies of management and their ostensible areas of responsibility. There are records of decisions and results by the companies as a whole. There's never a kind of historical record showing X group of people in the company were part of the "graph" of decision making that resulted in it.

There's usually lots of fall guys and the like taking the sword for the uppers, but at least you can do some tracing.

Anyone that setup stuff like that would probably get suicided by the CIA, or worse, trumped up and sent to Supermax.
Software is mostly a non-rivalrous good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivalry_(economics) although it becomes a little bit more that way when it's hosted, rather than distributed via downloads or something, depending on the load it puts on a server.

I have noticed this problem. The latest release is actually unusable for me. The whole IDE stalls every few seconds for no reason, with no visible CPU spike. Oh and it totally blew away all my toolbars and reset my style config irrevocably.

JetBrains IDEs have this problem all the time and its not consistent across all platforms. i.e. some people see it, some don't.

At this point I wish I could switch off JetBrains but I'm so familiar with it and using VS Code my productivity just screeches to a halt.

Your house/car need maintenance.

The difference with software is that maintenance is done by the producers as they own the code.
Disagree. Using reference (pointer) syntax explicitly to avoid relying on a non-deterministic compiler optimization doesn't decrease readability. It is extremely naive to assume that a heuristic-guided compiler optimization will always work or that you never need to write your code explicitly in a system that aims to be high-performance, like Tiger Beetle.

Also, some of the optimizations they are hunting are implicit and surprising. Probably not something a new compiler optimization is going to automatically fix.

>No more rewinding/forwarding

You did get adept at looking at a record to figure out where the songs were based on the record track "texture". (our high school had a radio station, and records being the music mode at the time). To cue up the next song, we'd play the record into the song, take the payer "out of gear" and manually spin the record backwards while listening till we hit blank. We did this part off the air (most of the time..)

We had this wierd cassette player boombox. It had 2 ff and rewinds, one of which would disable the pinch rollers, pull the tape head back a bit and fast forward the tape listening for blank areas, where upon it would stop. It worked but I'm guessing the wear and tear on the tapes must have been bad. Though we didn't notice.

CDs were much better.

>So you have any idea how small the defense budget is compared to social programs (let alone their sum) like the ones discussed in this thread? The numbers are all public, just look them up.

Yes I do, it's comparable to SS and Medicaid/Medicare. Before WWI and WWII, we hardly carried a standing military.

>The US doesn’t spend a particularly interesting percentage of their GDP on defense budget at a global scale.

That's true but you aren't mentioning total spend. The total spend numbers paint a different picture. How much military spending at the expense of domestic wellness do we need?

> My current employer does not allow me to write technical blogs or have public git repos even if they’re unrelated to work and when done on my own time with my own resources. Sigh.

That sounds like overreach; I don't think an employer is within his rights to try to restrict what you do in your free time with your own resources and without infringing on your employer's legitimate claims to IP (copyright, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, etc.)

This kind of overreach in contractual language and managerial posturing is somewhat common, driven by fears related to your exposure to your employer's IP, but the bark is worse than the legal bite here. I'm not a lawyer, but I still feel confident when saying that an employer wouldn't prevail in court, if they took legal action to enforce such restrictions on what you do outside of work.
> I'm very confused about how the distributed payment system would work. How much would a subscription cost for a user and how much would a developer see of
that?

Developers could sell subscriptions for any price they want. They have a limited number of subscriptions they can sell so there is a supply/demand that influences the price. Users buy directly from the developers so they would get 100% of the money (minus possible transaction fees depending on payment method).

> If you could give examples of the alternatives that you think don't work then it might be helpful to see how your service differs from those.

The alternatives are mainly the ones listed on the page above: buying things from developers in the usual way and donating. There are also other systems that work in a more centralized way where you pay the system that then distributes the money to the creators and this system differs from all of those in that it doesn't handle any money.

If you want an example, there is liberapay.com that seems to be donations with centralized payments. My system tries to be better than that because:

- Payments are less voluntary because you get access to stuff when you pay.

- Payments are decentralized so there can be more freedom of choice in how you pay.

It turns out that some people are already combining this principle by making adiabatic superconductor microchips!

https://spectrum.ieee.org/new-superconductor-microprocessor-...

I don't think this actually affects the high level opcodes, i.e it's transparent, so long as the circuit implementing them somehow performs charge recovery, the high level programming can still appear to be irreversible (I don't want to think about the potential side channel attacks that causes when you want to zero some bits!).
My company is moving our app to React Native and evaluated Expo as an option. Our conclusion was that we needed some of the features that using Expo doesn't let you use (a lot of native modules, as we're not rewriting 100% of the app all at once).

Additionally, I think RN has come a really long way from where it was when Expo first came about. Expo sought to smooth over a lot of rough edges, some of which no longer exist.

I think Expo realizes this as well, as their main revenue generator is now their deployment tools. The framework is opinionated toward using those paid services, which my org doesn't want to use as we already have processes for building and deploying, which makes working with it cumbersome.

I've seen so many projects like this come and go. They go, in my opinion, for a reason: Web technologies just aren't great as an app platform.

If you want a web-like platform on which to build a cross-platform application, I recommend Flutter. It's not perfect but, it's better than all the other alternatives I've tried.

They get 80% of their funding from Google. Do you think they are going to change to a “privacy first” search engine?

There’s a group of unelected elites that have created an global organization known as the World Economic Forum whose stated goal is to abolish private property and bring about a “Great Reset” [0] across the globe, consolidating power and eventually removing borders - this necessitates keeping certain structures of power in place and growing the gap between the “1%” and the other 99%. Eventually the goal seems to be to widen the gap to the point that the general public is so poor as to accept communism as an alternative to the poverty with the 1% as benevolent dictators

Google is clearly being evil here, but the original sin was having user-agent strings in browsers at all.

Public information on the 'world wide web' should by nature be open and accessible to any agent in a neutral way. (Of course this is implied in Google's (bullshit, cough) mission statement.) Making information about what the agent is invisible as a principle from the start would have helped with that.

In reality, that vision was lost in the early 90s when the web went from being a proposed hypertext/document/information retrieval system to being mostly a presentation system for what started as magazine/leaflet/poster analogues ("websites") to which were added dynamic client/server web applications.

The difference in model is stark: in the former, the browser, even the user, makes decisions about the presentation of the content based on mostly structural information declared in the document. In the latter, the 'document' is not a document, but a program executed on the users computer.

And once you've made that transition, the "developer" of the "program" now expects more and more of the kinds of controls they get when they truly control the platform.

And it doesn't help that in the midst of this, mobile applications came on the scene, undermined the web completely, and changed expectations of how content should be made available. From that point on it became even more expected by companies and product managers that they control the whole sandbox. e.g. Meta couldn't even be bothered to launch Threads on web, probably precisely because they don't like the restrictions there, and having full control is so much more profitable to them, and they're not the first.

In any case, this all sucks. I've already personally switched to Firefox in most places, but the very fact that Google feels emboldened to push this tact says a lot about the state of the web and how this 30 year trajectory has gone.

In a way, I just hope the "www" dies and all of us who helped create this thing in the first place birth something new and better. But this is also hopelessly naive.
Unfortunately on the whole techies are absolutely poor at marketing, which is a skill all by itself.
Landing page site is using v3, but the actual app is still on v2. There are soooo many API / attribute name changes that when I eventually migrate the core app from v2 to v3, I can tell it's going to be a bit of a nightmare :(
Agreed. Only make another app if it's almost entirely decoupled from the main app, e.g. a blog app or similar.
