It’s not an objective ceiling when we disagree on which way is up! You have a super-weird and specific idea of what it means to play piano. I really can’t think of a less inspiring goal than playing “advanced” or “technically challenging” music. If you like to do that, go nuts, but don’t assume that anything else is meaningless.
Looks like this shouldn't pertain to movies you individually rent or buy. I hate all advertising, but this doesn't bother me much -- particularly since Prime has sort of been a raw deal for a while now. Like all valuable services, it has slowly become worse in order to extract more value. It was useless long before now. Ads make it worse than it was, but it was already dead to me.
Yeah, thanks, edited it
Except, they still fight torrents.
Will this be limited to pre-roll? I don’t mind starting a movie and muting while I do something else for a minute. But if they degrade the experience by inserting ads, I’m out.
As a small follow-up to this that exemplifies the continuing good interactions:

I posted the email exchange I had below another comment. In that exchange you'll notice that the dev said they'd added the games under my inventory to gift to my son at a later date (when he was older). That came about 2 years later when he was 12. The problem was, when I tried to use the gifts from my inventory they both failed for unspecified reasons. I reached out to the initial dev again, hoping he was still there. He was and he helped resolve the issue right away.

I know some people have had bad customer service with Steam or have other complaints, some valid and others not so much. In the end, I'm a pretty satisfied Steam customer and will generally speak well of them when the situation arises (like today).
Oh, awesome! I'm working on something similar, to put out as a PWA. Seems I had similar aspirations/complaints that you did, but also didn't have an apple device (that I wanted to use for the app).

Yours is a very nice presentation! I like the annotations feature, and the comprehensiveness of the features, even for the stated goal of such simple functionality. A lot of people might leave out percussion loops, or be a bit more stingy with the free tracks.

This may be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway: does it recognize Midi controller input? In my practice, I've found value in having the notes I play represented digitally, so that I can keep my eyes on the screen (and, let's face it, Rock Band/Guitar Hero is fun). But I didn't see that specifically advertised anywhere, so I was curious!
These words are an improvement of the situation but nothing here can be considered legally binding.

For all intents and purposes, this is meaningless until they update the old ToS to prevent this from happening again.
That's an _extremely_ esoteric set of concerns.
Good point. If we're being imaginative, there's various side channels an attacker could use to carefully target their attack, such as seeing a new MAC or DHCP lease on the local network.
Did not expect a reference to that viral common projects vid on here haha. Though I did snatch a decently used pair of achilles for $60 and have been my go to for the last three years (the soles r now smooth as a rock so I have been wearing them less out of caution). But I absolutely love those shoes: ridiculously comfortable, easy to clean, go with literally everything.

Now I can’t say they’re worth $450 or whatever. And no idea if they’re better than Koio’s—had I found a used pair of those for cheaper, I’d own those instead. So with all things, YMMV. I agree with the sentiment of “don’t equate brand/price with quality” tho
I have an iPhone 13 Mini. For reasons.

I talk and text on it. Maybe a grocery list or looking up a price in a store. If I want to do more I have bigger devices.
This on top of getting increasingly terrible shipping from Prime has me thinking it's no longer worth it. It's kind of sad, but also kind of inevitable as all major brands seem to go through this period of testing how much crap they can get away with until the user base breaks or finds better alternatives.

Now would be a good time for Walmart to get their sh*t together and dominate.

Unity is not trustworthy. This was not the first time they've changed terms unilaterally, and will not be the last.

This letter should be seen as a rickety runway extension: finalize any Unity projects you already have in development, but make sure you move to another engine in the immediate future.
It bothers me a bit when I see the narrative on here that the introduction of the Steam Deck changed everything for linux gaming, but really it is a culmination of steady ongoing work that didn't even start with Valve. I've been primary linux gaming since probably about 2014. When Steam machines fizzled out Valve just quietly brushed it off and continued investing in the general concept.
Is it really that different from Nokia, Nintendo, Siemens, Lenovo, Asus, Samsung, Ikea, Ferrari, Volvo, etc.? None of those sound reputable by themselves, they had to build up a reputation.

When a bunch of households or cell phones are on the same IPv4 do you have any measures to compensate?

Yes you'd limit by /64 or slightly larger.

The live set of IPs shouldn't be very big.
I don't understand some people here that are clapping apple for DRM their devices as kind of protection from thefts. There is a way to have a cookie and eat it too in this case if they would allow user easily to remove DRM via iCloud or even better when disconnecting from iCloud.

Imagine if we would apply the same scenario for human organ transplants. Let's enforce (using similar logic) that after someone dies we throw such body straight to oven to burn it because there exist in the world illegal human organs trade - no even if you want to be an organ donor after your death you can't because we want to remove incentive for illegal human organs trade! /s

This makes perfect sense to me. Regular cable was like 100 bucks plus ad revenue, and I never understood how streamers could charge less than cable, have no ad revenue and still make the numbers work.

I don't mind advertisements because it always felt like a free way to pay people who make content I enjoy.
Work at office: hundreds/thousands of multi-ton SUV's try to get to the same place at 9am and 5pm; parents are absent from their children and each other half the day; real estate values near offices spike insanely; if people commute by bus/train they have to sacrifice even more hours, and also, share space with crazies and you still have to move a massive amount of physical stuff around.

Work from home: some electrons & photons move.

Waiting for a big performance leap makes sense from a waste point of view, too- let's get the enough out of the current hardware before trashing the old (assuming some percentage of people won't put in the time to sell or donate their used Steam Deck).

The function containing the `await` waits, but the thread does not; it switches to doing other things:

- Page scrolling/rendering

- If the user triggers an event, like clicking on a button, that JS event handler is independent from the waiting function and can run while it's waiting

- Same thing if some other `await`ed IO resolves; that function can resume while the other one is still waiting

This is why async/await exists. It allows our code to tell the runtime "let me know when this is ready, otherwise do whatever you want in the meantime". Many languages have a similar feature now, but in JavaScript it's especially fundamental to the language and ecosystem, which means code gets written this way by default, which means JS programs don't have the problem mentioned in the OP by default.

(Just to steel-man the counterargument) it is not as clear-cut to me that everyone is realistically able to make such choice (depending on the geo, quality control of the authorized centers). The repair process is opaque enough that you are compromising the user who is choosing to pay for premium parts to get ripped off with some probability. Even a small percentage of bad parts in the ecosystem will disproportionally diminish the value of used/repaired iPhones so there is a non-trivial calculation to be done on the social impact of such individual choice.

Can anyone who has actual experience in Linux kernel development for ARM platforms offer a realistic defense of the status quo other than "companies making the SoCs don't care nor do the device OEMs that are their primary customers and it would cost more to do it right"?

I'm not a low level hardware person, but being on the edges of the Android modding community for over a decade now and also spending a lot of time working on the various Pi-likes has left me incredibly frustrated with the state of hardware support.

In my mind it is absolutely inexcusable that vendors regularly ship hardware with only binary blob support for ancient kernels, years old versions of Android, etc. with no intent to ever change. To me that's a sign of either pure incompetence or an active desire to do things wrongly. Am I wrong? Is there any reason I shouldn't feel like everyone responsible for those choices should be named and shamed constantly? Basically is there any good excuse other than "it's cheaper this way" and/or defective logic about drivers being "trade secrets" of some form.
What actually happened is the costs and wages are all jacked up and we ended up with inflation. There is no meaningful GHG emissions reduction overall.

One problem I see with your design is that there's no way to deal with rubato, and presumably you can't alter the tempo on the fly as you're playing.

The problem that sheet music solves is providing a static notation that can be read non-linearly for a dynamic piece of art that must be played linearly.

There's also no way to represent dynamics, as far as I can tell? The MIDI file won't give you that information.

Similarly unless you support MIDI 2 clip files (to my knowledge, no one does yet) you're also missing the key signature information, which is kind of important (otherwise the notes have no meaning - you need to infer their function from context, which is ambiguous)

I'd be more surprised if the board hadn't been included in the review process for the previous change.
Point to Charlie Munger, whom I was critical of a few days ago, how is so much written on how the Roman Republic worked, without talking about the most basic of incentive structures that drove its citizens to work like no others in the first place - The Law of Twelve Tables? It gave every citizen property rights that were protected by the State. The system was _the_ get rich game for the common man (after Alexander replaced ancient Greece's Solonian Constitution with his Royal authority). Roman soldiers were citizens looking to make money, it was a so called army of merchants. Joining the empire was an attractive proposition because people saw an opportunity to break out of their own opportunity-poor regimes, so the model spread like wildfire, though obviously resisted by hereditary rulers who stood to lose their cozy positions.
While a good portion of developers will still be switching engines and staying there, as an AR developer, there isn't really anywhere else for me to go aside from developing with WebXR. Because of this, I am glad to see these changes.
I think you are still envisioning a fundamentally incorrect approach. Build scripts for a project are part of that project, not some external thing. The scripts are stored in the repository, and pulled from the branch being built. Dependencies for your build scripts aren't any different from any other build-time dependencies for your project.
SQLite fills a need in the market that postgres does not. Local single process data storage and retrieval from that with some structure. Postgres and all of the DB's like it kick in when you want more than one process involved. MS used to have Access that filled this need very nicely. Once you go multi user/process you probably do not want sqlite you will want something that can do ACID on a multi user level. Once you go more than one process to store data you can make your installation a larger burden than you really need to deal with. On the other hand I can think of maybe one or two projects where sqllite fit very nicely for a data store. Most of the other cases I had involved a 'real' db.

For this case I guess they could try to bend sqlite to do this but the pain in doing so will probably not be worth the long term trouble than just using mysql or postgres or something like those.
MacOS and Android both handle this flawlessly out of the box, though. They don't require any additional download and the website in question doesn't even use webfonts anyway.

Maybe its just my bad system (integrated graphics, 4 GB ram, i3 8th gen processor) but Steam actually performs far worse than MS store, Gnome Store, and the Google Play Store (though thats on my phone and not my laptop).

It's the same argument. Nobody forced you to pay for the bulbs, switches, bridges etc.

For the record, I don't agree with it -- just saying.
I've been playing piano for a few years (no teacher, on and off) and have always been curious about the topic of sheet music. When you're first learning it's very painful. The notation isn't that bad, sharps, flats, time signatures etc - that part is ok. What _is_ difficult is corresponding a position on the staff to a physical note on a keyboard, especially when you have a treble clef and a base clef.

However over time it becomes easier and easier - and then you wonder is sheet music somehow optimal or is it 'good enough' and has withstood the test of time (also accounting for the fact that there is an enormous corpus of existing sheet music).

The question regarding this app (which looks awesome) is, is this format for reading music better than sheet music at the expert level (for professional musicians). And if not, how can we get that 10x improvement to make the switch from sheet music to something better.

> Is it worth $44 billion, $22 billion or is it a Superfund site that has negative value? How does the owner get the cash?

It would be worth the last buying price for that owner, that is $44 billion. Gives an incentive to negotiate down as much as possible, instead of buying at inflated prices. The seller pays capital gains and the buyer pays a wealth tax on the asset.

It doesn't matter if Twitter is a negative income entity, if it is ascribed some value. It would essentially become the equivalent of a white elephant. There used to be a time in India when people who did not have an income but had lots of erstwhile assets (usually upper caste folks with zero skills) would sell off their properties just so they didn't have to pay wealth tax. That was essentially how my parents bought their first property.

The caveat is that enforcement is going to be a bitch, black money will proliferate in the market but if digitally maintained, collection could be streamlined.
You can't back this up with anything because you can't see the future. There is a lot of research being done on that, and it's a lot less conclusive than your comment. Think about that.

What we know from the past is that nuclear in 70 years hasn't done squat to eliminate the dependency on fossil fuels. This is simply a fact.

What we need short-term is decarbonization, and renewables are the cheapest and fastest way to do that. If you can't get rid of coal completely, you can then pick the slowest and most expensive solution that is nuclear. But it needs to be the last, not the first thing you do.
Huh? Who then?
> Johnson & Johnson in its bid to use bankruptcy to block lawsuits from cancer victims

I'm not an expert, I really only know what Matt Levine has published in his Bloomberg newsletter, but this sounds like a very disingenuous description in order to stoke outrage. The bankruptcy proceedings were more about orderly management of a bunch of different lawsuits in different jurisdictions on different timelines.

At least by Levine's analysis, the victims were likely to fair better as a whole through the bankruptcy proceedings (all victims would be guaranteed a fair share) than without it (victims who got their court cases through the system faster might get more than later verdicts).

Or maybe Levine was unfairly charitable to them and the bankruptcy thing was purely to minimize total payments.
But instead of making parts unexchangeable by default, couldn't they blacklist parts that come from phones specifically reported as stolen? And then any phone with a blacklisted part installed could be disabled/reduced in functionality/reported to authorities, etc. Meanwhile people who just wanted to recycle their old screens or whatever wouldn't be penalized.
Absolutely. But, just because it's impossible for publicly traded companies doesn't mean a private company can't chase the short term. Private companies don't necessarily behave like Valve is by default. So, I'm also praising them for choosing to take the risk on and invest in the long term.

Apple workers launch nationwide strike in France
So, if this had been what they launched with out the window, I don't think they would have had the same uproar. I don't think this is a door-in-face technique planned retreat (compared to the "leaked" proposal earlier this week which basically just started the install count at 0 and increased a revenue threshold, but still maintained it applied to existing games developed under the current deal).

I don't think this is enough that I would consider Unity for a new project (compared to my niggling doubts on my projects using Godot and Bevy in the past that maybe I should just bite the bullet and learn the "grown up" engine, until this announcement). That would require something a bit more iron clad renouncing their claim to be able to change the deal like this.

I don't know if Unity considers it a success that they've moved from their customers being in a "port everything now" rush to "Well I wouldn't take that deal, and a lot of customers will now not be upgrading Unity or developing their next titles in Unity".

But I guess as a consumer this moves my position to "someone should sue them for a declaratory judgement that making this retroactive is not legal" to "Well, guess I'm not investing in learning Unity".
Even on the track you get some cooling time while on the brakes. And cars do overheat on the track if the driver is not careful. You are correct though that cars are designed for up a mountain on a hot day with the AC on - which uses more than 25 horsepower - but that is still less than max power. That leaves a lot of headroom for racing on a level track, but you do need to watch the temp gauge (or update the cooling system is done on the track if the race rules allow)
