These last weeks, in several spanish webs was writing about Micro$oft tried to buy Valve. It is a easy plan, they cut green sprout to avoid the future forest.
What is a good way to charge for an ongoing service without a subscription?
> Orion is nice but it works by using Safari’s extensions API under the hood.

To clarify that is not how it works, the Web Extensions API support in Orion was ported from scratch on top of WebKit.
Aren't you the developer of Smithereen (a fediverse server)? Nearly every other fediverse software has a web interface that can act as a PWA. I launch lemmy.ml and kbin.social as standalone PWAs from my homescreen. My pleroma instance also has some PWA features (though not standalone display mode). I don't use Mastodon, but @nolan@toot.cafe did some amazing work years ago to make it a really fast and responsive PWA (which has since been undone ).

It's ok if you don't like to use PWAs but that doesn't mean nobody does or that they're worthless.
Or replace it with a bigger one that has more output (and thus more drag on the engine), and upgrade the belt for longevity. Then the car's built in electronics will handle keeping the throttle in the right place for idle.

I'm in the process of designing a Sprinter mobile office roadtrip starlink vehicle with an asston of batteries in it, and upgrading the alternator so that the batteries are always charging from the diesel engine whenever underway is like step #1.
In case anyone is wondering, this is essentially a few complaints about the basic transpilation/source-to-source approach taken by Cython and then some promotion for Rust. It unfortunately mixes some general C/C++ complaints in there, too.
I think big reason Valve is so good is because they are a private company and that allows non-traditional management style.

Unlike certain public companies that bring in executives that perform spectacularly bad decisions (cough, cough, Unity).
I'm not so sure that it's a real trend or an accident of how things played out with "Web3" and "AI". Crypto was socially rejected quite dramatically and quickly (more so than you'd see on a price chart) and then ChatGPT burst into existence with the seductive possibility that it could now write your pitch deck (which, if you are that guy/gal/whatever, is more likely to get funded.)

Both of these things had a special appeal to the indolent and ignorant for reasons that were overlapping but also different, the "grinds" are going to take over in AI and if Web3 ever makes a resurgence (there's something appealing to me about distributed authentication though we've had Client SSL certificates for years and nobody cares) it will be because the grifters are gone and the grinds have ground on it. I don't know if there's going to be another thing in that series.
I agree that sheet music could be improved. The worst part to me is simply that notes are identical symbols just shifted up or down ever so slightly. But based on the screenshots your app does the same thing, just side to side. I think it would be more helpful if each note had a color to it.
Why not coal?
It's simple fear of the unknown. Many folks haven't learned it, so they just turn it off... Ignore it, kick the can down the road.
This is really cool! Guitar was my first instrument, then I went on to learn bass, drums, and a bunch of others, but I never bothered to learn how to read music - or, really, sight read. The few songs I know on piano, I learned from an electronic piano that had a display with an image of the keyboard and the keys would change color to tell you which one to play. When I play Maple Leaf Rag for other musicians they're often surprised to find out I can't read music.

So I can definitely see a market for this and will probably try learning another song on piano with it. That said, I do wish I had just learned to read music up front, as I learned my first instrument. I think it would have opened up doors for me, particularly for playing with other musicians (like an orchestra or a jazz band). But who knows how much longer that will be the case - tomorrow's great musicians may learn on an app like this!

New experiment brings us closer to unbreakable quantum encryption
I learned piano when I was young, but I never practiced and basically repeated the same lesson over and over. We started taking our 5 year old for piano lessons and I was inspired and wanted to start practicing as well, but I found I couldn't read any sheet music.

I found a course on Udemy: Read Music FAST and Read Music FAST! Part 2. I highly recommend those. It basically took a week or two to get through them and I was able to jump into the author's free Intermediate lesson.
Yes they are working on it. A number of services already support v6, more to come.
I've noticed that across my many hobbies, there are always people who insist that THEIR way of learning how to do a thing is the ONLY way to learn how to do a thing. This seems more prevalent in the music world, though. Especially if they had strict teacher.

Show HN: Claws – A visual interface for the AWS CLI
I've been developing on AWS for many years now. I like the idea of using the AWS CLI but I very much dislike the developer experience of clicking through the CLI doc website or building out the long complex arguments.

So I created a visual interface for the AWS CLI where you can add & edit profiles, and explore & experiment with API calls via a user-friendly interface.

https://clawsapp.com

I also added a natural language search to help identify the CLI command you need and fill in arguments for you based on your description.

I would love to get your feedback & suggestions. Thank you in advance!
Pointing out terms that are distracting, meaningless, or useless may help with composition of meaningful and effective problem statements and solutions.

For example, one of the major problems we are experiencing now is with what has come to be known as Financialization. This enables financiers to generate large income streams without accompanying increases in productivity. There is a body of knowledge about how this works that includes robust and proven regulatory measures for limiting and controlling Financialization.

In a society where we can vote, organize other voters, and even run for office the term "late stage capitalism" is intended to advance an passive agenda. Instead of taking responsibility for how our society functions or fails we can lie back and console ourselves that this was merely the way of things. We aren't having economic problems because we have failed to manage economic systems that we control, but because economies are naturally and inevitably drawn to failure. It is a way of giving up despite knowing the way out.

One angle is that the big suit makes his head look small, which visually says "stop overthinking things", which is what "Stop Making Sense" means.
I don't think "moral reassurance" has anything to do with it, at least in the hard sciences. The universe will smack you hard with reality if you're grifting, there are limits to lying in this space (at least). For example, you can't lie about creating full self-driving because it simply won't work in all the conditions/scenarios under which we expect human-like performance.

Here's my first draft of the questions you'd want to ask about any given solution:

Questionnaire

- Does it seem to be primarily proprietary, primarily open-source, or “open core” (parts open source, enterprise features proprietary)?
- If it’s open core or open source with a service offering, can you run it completely on your own for free?
- Does it look “serious/mature”?
- Lots of language SDKs
- High-profile, high-scale users
- Can you do rules with arbitrary attributes or is it just on/off or on/off with overrides?
- Can it do complex rules?
- How many language SDKs (one, a few, lots)
- Do feature flags appear to be the primary purpose of this company/project?
- If not, does it look like feature flags are a first-class offering, or an afterthought / checkbox-filler? (eg. split.io started out in experimentation, and then later introduced free feature flag functionality. I think it’s a first-class feature now.)
- Does it allow approval workflows?
- What is the basic architecture?
- Are flags evaluated in-memory, locally? (Hopefully!)
- Is there a relay/proxy you can run in your own environment?
- How are changes propagated?
- Polling?
- Streaming?
- Does each app retrieve/stream all the flags in a project, or just the ones they use?
- What happens if their website goes down?
- Do they do experiments too?
- As a first-class offering?
- Are there ACLs and groups/roles?
- Can they be synced from your own source of truth?
- Do they have a solution for mobile and web apps?
- If so, what is the pricing model?
- Do they have a mobile relay type product you can run yourself?
- What is the pricing model?
- Per developer?
- Per end-user? MAU?
It's funny. I was just learning about RuneWatch, which is how the Runescape community attempts to democratize and distribute the problem of dealing with scammers.

The evolution was basically that it started the way CVEs work. You could submit a report and there wasn't really any verification. Of course, this was abused - far worse than the CVE system, naturally, but the same sort of problem.

Now they require a lot of evidence and things are much much better and abuse is far more difficult.

It seems sort of obvious. If this is a vulnerability, prove it.

It almost feels like a CVE should have a "practical" tag. Like:

1. Is this theoretically exploitable?

2. Is this practically exploitable?

3. Is this proven exploitable?

This should be a massive contributor to the score. It also means that a score can be raised by having the sec researcher demonstrate an exploit - so disagreements can be resolved very easily.

Related, here's a post from Spender on the topic (since the "CVE bad" situation is nothing new)

Yes, this app could serve as an introduction to piano, but ultimately relying on it will be detrimental to long-term growth.

I think the app would b more useful if it helped teach sheet music (which can be frustrating for beginners) through this friendly UI.
As the others have said, odds are you only need to flip the switch in steam to ignore OS. I've been overwhelmingly happy with how many games work this way.

To the point that I'm far more likely to find a game with clunky default controls on Steam Deck than I am one that won't play. And learning to use some of the more advanced control features of the system goes a long way to fixing that.
yeah i understand the type of questions you are talking about now. thanks!
steam was terrible when it came out

however it was still miles better than "Games for Windows Live", which was so bad I don't even try replaying the games that still require it
Agreed, I've used Camo for years daily to use an old iPhone 7 as a webcam. Gives such a better picture than a webcam.
What happened to the monkeys is secondary to Elon not understanding why and what would happen to them: He publicly stated the monkeys were terminally ill. They were not. That's not how anything works. If you don't grok that, you should be nowhere near decision making about animal testing.

Evidently Elon did not understand that "terminal" meant the test animals would likely or certainly be euthanized if they did not perish due to the experiments being run: https://futurism.com/neoscope/elon-musk-neuralink-terminally...

That said, there are standards for animal suffering in research, and that should be checked as well.

It’s fair use though. You would have an extremely difficult time arguing that a piece of generated art for just yourself passes muster on:

> the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Because the effect of the use on potential market is just 1 sale and it’s not even clear that there’s a diminishing impact on the actual rights holder for that guy.
Good for you!

I've been considering doing something similar. I can't find a browser that really makes me comfortable or happy, so my thought is that the only solution is to write my own.

It would certainly not be full-featured or be able to deal with the full HTML spec -- but for me, that's a positive, not a negative.

It's exactly the issue here. The capability doesn't matter, what matters is the scale of it.

I think the point is, there were many years (decades) where String Theory was NOT testable.

During all that time, research was occurring, it was called science, even though it was not yet testable. Was String Theory during that time a pseudoscience?

Science doesn't appear 'out-of-the-box' instantly testable. There is a lot of time of speculation, and thought, and pondering with ideas that ebb and flow, before something gets defined enough to test.

If science is not valid if it is not testable, then what are all these researchers in theoretical physics doing? There is plenty of work going on today that is not yet 'testable'. How do you get to the point of having something to test, if the 'science' up until that point is not valid?

My argument being, using testability as the measure to toss ITT out the window, is a bit premature, given testability is actually not the only benchmark for doing science.

I think it probably is that bad if you the approach it as this person is currently doing: not using any libraries at all. If you use existing libraries for HTML parsing, CSS parsing, layout algorithms, graphics rendering, etc, then I think I think it's doable.
FWIW, I don’t sign up for any recurring subscriptions outside of major utilities, so this feature won $108 from me.
I was troubleshooting some bad routing in a service. Some endpoints worked fine most of the time but would occasionally lose packets for a bit.

Turns out it's a bug in the kube stack when containers have both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.

This was last year.

I suspect the ipv6 cases aren't being tested very well across the software stack.

> It's been great to see that Valve have been pushing so many of their improvements upstream rather than trying to keep them to themselves - long may it continue.

Yes, the Linux team at Valve really understands how open source incentives align with their own. Since they & their contractors upstream almost everything they do, they don't have to maintain a diff, or even build most of the software they ship (they just use Arch packages for most stuff, as mentioned in the article). Unlike many proprietary companies who try to keep as much as possible in-house, Valve understands you get higher quality software with a lot less work overall when you work with and are friendly to upstream projects, even if it means a bit more work and negotiation up front.

I was the creator & lead dev on Proton for its first 5 years (2016-2021), and from day 1 Valve understood that most of the work we did for them would be going upstream[1]. It wasn't even a conversation point in the early meetings. They've taken the same approach with every other OSS project they've worked with, and it shows in the great results & community relations. Valve is a great open source citizen.

If you dropped cable/satellite only to resume watching TV daily on streaming services, are you really a cord cutter, truly? If watching a television for hours a day is still how you burn your free time, if television shows are still your go-to topic for smalltalk, if this television programming still preoccupies so much of your mind that cancelling your streaming services and not replacing them with another kind of television service seems inconceivable, then have you truly cut the cord? The real cord is that ethereal tether between you and the tube, cut that if you want to be free.

It took me a few years to realize this, but cancelling your cable subscription only to spend just as much time staring at the same television mindlessly 'consuming content' on netflix or prime is fundamentally the same lifestyle.
Yes, they’ve mapped webextensions to WebKit api calls.
We had a Toyota dealer in our town that both customers and former employees speak reverently of.

Some of those employees jumped ship to the Honda dealer after the Toyota dealer was bought by the guy who owned all the other car dealerships in town. For a long time the Honda dealer was the only competitor to Maguire, but then Maguire bought the Honda dealer.

Those employees don't speak ill of Maguire but they certainly don't speak about in him in glowing terms.

That's what I use for my off-grid solar installations, and it works pretty well. 4x less amps, and you still get a safe voltage.

> The basic thing I am saying is that if you call it a web browser and use the same core protocols etc., you have a practically infinite (for an individual) set of requirements to implement and will never be truly compatible

But what the parent is saying is you don't have to be compatible with 100% of websites. If you build a browser with good HTML/CSS/Javascript handling, you'll be compatible with the large majority of the web. Yes, there are other specs that are in use by a tiny portion of the web. But your browser can still exist if it doesn't support them. Users of that website will know or find out that they can't use your browser for that, but for every other user that browser could be exactly what they need.

> without having to worry about a fuzzy and ever-expanding definition of what you have to support.

It's only ever-expanding if you're trying to keep up with the Jones's. You can define a subset of the web you want to support and build a clean, small browser that supports that.

I know the NoSQL world had some progress in this space. RethinkDB was going in this direction around a decade ago if I recall. I would really like this from a modern relational database or data warehouse though. Polling sucks.
It’s unfortunate that the message discussing enemies was flagged. Maybe it needed to be said in a better way?

The US government is undeniably often working against the best interests of its citizens.

Corporations, corporate news, and advertisers are also working against our best interests. Im not sure any mindful and reasonable person would refute this.

However I will be charitable in saying that I don’t think they’re making us hopelessly anxious to subjugate us. They’re doing it because it’s profitable
Oh, and one last(?) update.

If you create your own service to evaluate a bunch of feature flags for a given user/client/device/location/whatever and return the results, for use in mobile clients (everyone does this), PLEASE *make sure the client enumerates the list of flags it wants*. It's very tempting to just keep that list server-side, and send all the flags (much simpler requests, right?), but you will have to keep serving all those flags for all eternity because you'll never know which deployed versions of your app require which flags, and which can be removed.

How do you know the “safety features” will be substandard?

I worked at Jebel Ali power plant(worlds largest gas plant) just outside Dubai for two years installing and commissioning high voltage switchgear.

The Emiratis(and their army of Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani/misc./ engineers and laborers) truly knows how to build large scale industries. I doubt they have taken any shortcut whatsoever.

In my experience, they require everything to be 110% perfect.
