Except it’s not reasonable and they outright lied. To say they are not increasing prices but then to keep the same quality / category of service you have to pay more … is sociopath / gaslight speak for “we are raising prices.”

Being ok with it because it’s “only 3 bucks” is just letting them know it’s ok and they and others will do it more and more.

Amazon makes plenty of profit. They can have a lower price option with ads.. and keep ad free the same.
On the other hand, I think they're all largely good. After a certain point some of their albums started only have a couple songs that I remember, some of them still great.

It's absurd that they can put out a string of 2-5 near perfect albums and still get criticism.

There's huge, beloved bands that don't really have a single album that has that many great tracks on it.

Because abilities correlate across wide swaths of personality traits.

A group of highly skilled competent people working on a shared highly specialized project will more likely than not be similar in other ways - enough so to establish common behavior patterns which become a shared culture that then gets adopted as a default mode of relation for efficiency.

Extrapolate that dynamic up to an entire sector and you find that certain combinations produce better results. Those then become popular and spread until they are all quite similar and stable.

Voila, a monoculture is born.

This is my favorite work of German science fiction, happy to see it mentioned here. Warning, the Wikipedia page contains major spoilers (as usual).

The page mentions "Quest" as a prequel, which it technically is, though really it's better thought of as a different story in the same universe. The more recently released "Eines Menschen Flügel" (roughly: Wings of a Human) of the author is also set in that universe.
Yes, I used wasm as one of the targets during development.
A fellow I knew would build boats. Sailboats. I don’t know much about boats but I’d say that these were something like 25-30 foot boats. These were not dinghies.

He started from raw plans, build the hull ribs, layer on the fiberglass for the hull (he bought his resin in 50 gallon drums). Now, of course, he has to sand and finish the fiberglass.

Once he got to that point, he’d build a rig around the hull out of wood that allowed the hull to rotate in place around its axis with a hydraulic Jack. He did all of this alone.

Once upright, he’d have about 5000 lbs of lead delivered to be placed and secured in the keel. At this point he gets the top parts of the hull and deck in place so he can weatherproof the interior.

The interior is all hardwood. Mahogany and such. His two car garage was a dedicated woodworking and cabinetry shop. The boat was in his fenced backyard.

When it was all said and done, 4-5 years later, a truck and a crane would come, lift it out of the backyard, and take it to the local harbor, 30 miles away.

Then, he’d sell it, start over, and make another.

He didn’t sail.

I know he made at least 3 of them. I’m sure he profited on raw materials, not so sure on time, certainly not on time/value of money.

He was a software developer by trade. He wrote accounting systems.
Serious question - I've never used 1Password - what happens if you only ever use one device and that device becomes permanently unavailable for some reason (stolen, destroyed, etc)?
It’s been like this. There are a lot of people that got into security without really a passion for it. Lots of bs. The way I think of it is all of this revolves around the fire/heat generated from finding vulns (on both sides). If ur not finding vulns/really understand/actively trying to understand then ur just blowing smoke and trying to stay warm. That’s just how it is.
When those “cool things” are made through exploitation (and they are), being ok with it makes you a deplorable shithead.

These are not things worth the human costs associated.
As an example, Creality giving in and open sourcing the K1 (their clone of Bambu's tech) after initially going as far as violating the license on Klipper to push their own cloud system.
I'm not seeing how security is harmed by making things inaccessible to the public Internet if you don't intend for services you do not control to ever access them directly.

> Instead of looking at a measure as a collection of individual notes that must be perceived, interpreted and executed in sequence, they take it in as a chunk.

I’m not professional, but I have been playing for awhile and can sight-read fairly easily. What you said here is 100% true, and I liken it to learning to read a language. Watch how kids learn to read, they have to look at each syllable and letter and sound out each word. Eventually, after enough practice, you don’t read individual letters, you read words. Then, you begin to observe the nuance of the grammatical structure.

I feel like reading music notation has followed a similar trend for myself. I no longer read individual notes, I see chords and progressions. Just like stories tend to follow a plot line, and you can predict how the story may end, music follows a plot line, and you can predict the movement. This is also why certain styles of music is so interesting! We expect the plot to move in a direction and then are surprised by the twist. This video by 8 bit music theory gives a good overview of how that can be done[0].

I especially love when I’m playing through a new piece and every part of the song just makes sense. Yiruma’s music in particular feels very natural for me, and it’s an absolute joy to play through the song and have it all flow together so well.

Anyways, I think a lot of people just don’t give it enough time and give up a bit too early. It’s magical when you pass that point of reading individual notes and enter into the territory of really reading pieces. I still have so far to go, but music will always be a relaxing and fulfilling hobby.

Here are a few examples of individuals who wouldn't be included in the U-3 rate:

A stonemason who wants to work but became discouraged by a lack of opportunity in the midst of a deep economic recession
A marketing executive who was laid off at age 57 and stopped scheduling new job interviews because they repeatedly encountered age discrimination
A person who only works one six-hour shift per week because no full-time jobs are available in their area
In 1930 the 2 former would be considered Unemployed while the third would be considered underemployed.
Labor force participation rate includes people who retire early, or spend excessive time in academia because they don't want to enter the job market in a recession, or people who stop looking for work and enroll in school after not being able to find work.

Trino, not Presto.

Presto, created by FB, was required to let any FB engineer merge without OWNERS (because Facebook doesn't have OWNERS files unless it would create a SEV1).

Subsequently, original creators of Presto forked it to PrestoSQL.

So Facebook trademarked the name Presto.

So creators renamed it Trino.

mrjars are a terrible idea, because libraries are very rarely a single jar, and require dependencies. Often that dependency set is different depending on the runtime version because of backports of newer Java APIs. So either you don't care and make your consumers use proguard to remove the unnecessary backports, or you create a Maven package with variants for each runtime version, which 99% of your downstream will end up using anyway.
As mentioned in the footnote, this can be done by using PrivateLink; it costs a few bucks too, but it is the way to go if your VPC does not (or must not, for Compliance™ reasons) have internet connectivity.

If your target VPC has neither PrivateLink nor public IPv4 connectivity somewhere, I'm not sure how that would work; I'd love to learn how that was built.

That’s not the same as mandatory.

The engineering process is always the same.

First, quantify your requirements. How much torque needs to be delivered at the wheel/ground interface, in order to get your maximum load over an arbitrary obstacle like a stone or a tree root, uphill on your maximum rated grade?

That requirement will tell you whether you can source a motor (based on the torque it's rated to deliver) or whether you need to buy a drivetrain or (RIP your budget) design a custom drivetrain.

Accounting for the weight of the motor/drivetrain will require you to iterate on that first requirement. Welcome to the pain of engineering design.

What are you talking about? Who cares how long you listen to them?

Someone else mentioned burning down the house, and there's others that I find great additions to the themes of the album, like slippery people and moon rocks. Pull up the roots is quite nice.

That leaves like 1-2 tracks that I honestly just can't remember much about. That doesn't fit the description "some bright spots, and some crappy songs too"... you're talking about an iconic album jam packed with brilliance.

This would be like saying that pink floyds "the wall" has "a few bright spots but some crappy songs too", that the era from "meddle" to "animals" was hit or miss, and you really prefer division bell and a momentary lapse of reason... just not any of the early/middle stuff.

Yeah, you can have whatever opinion you want, but this one is just absurd. Pink Floyd isn't for everyone, but if you like them, you're being a pretentious ass acting like 1971-1979 weren't peak years.

P.S. I actually do think the wall is kinda shit, but that's a story for another day
Assuming you’re referring to Delta/Caiway… I think they’re expanding quite quickly, considering both started out as smaller local ISPs; so it’s probably between CGNAT and having to acquire IP space for them.

The fact that they’re owned by an investment fund also makes them probably very focused on profitability.

As a point of comparison, the other players aggressively rolling out fiber (KPN, ODF/Odido) have been nationwide ISPs since the 90s, and they aren’t doing CGNAT AFAIK (so they probably aren’t hurting for IP space).
Yes I can, apparently. Played as White. It played some variation of a Sicilian (haven’t played a human in 40 years so my opening knowledge is…sketchy). We each played solid moves, a few exchanges but it ended up with three pawn islands to my two. We exchanged all other pieces and rook. Rook and pawn endgame. I offered the remaining rook exchange that let me centralize my king and get connected Queen Rook and Queen Knight pawn against its isolated Queen Bishop pawn. Its king ran to the queenside while I blockaded its three-two pawn majority on the kingside. It pushed the Queen Bishop pawn (I think in English Descriptive Notation showing how old I am) out of desperation, I grabbed it and was close enough to the black Kings Bishop pawn be able to capture it before queening. The connected passed pawns trapped its King on the queenside and I could eat the black Kingside pawns at leisure.

But I couldn’t. When I reached the point of capturing the Kings Bishop pawn the program froze. An obvious win, but it didn’t let me make the next move, nor did it resign. Just froze. Weenie program.

I think I played optimal moves when we got to the rook and pawn stage. Magnus would have been proud. But it played way faster than I did. Trading the other rook I think was the crucial mistake because it gave me a free centralization of my King with no other pieces to confuse things, and at that point it was sort of a zugswangy forced mate in 15 or so. (Love saying that) But it took very precise counting and calculating at the end, a question of a single tempo. An alpha-beta engine would have seen it in advance and not exchanged the rook, thus forcing a draw with perfect play. My guess.

I took some sort of online rating thing on chess.com (?) a few years ago and it thought my rating was mid-1800s. Played probably a couple hundred 5 minute games or so with Stockfish giving Queen Knight odds at its highest rating level over the last few years and got to where I could hold my own, so I have played recently, just not humans. (At the beginning I couldn’t even win with Queen odds, humbling.)
I agree. Even though some (most?) instruments have different shapes for each scale, notation should transcend implementation and aim for the most general representation. See: isomorphic instruments.

I'll concede that traditional music notation is the most efficient way of representing classical music.
recap: there was that pretty famous old study/experiment where people wore special glasses that flipped the world upside down visually. It didn't take very long for their brains to figure out how to "see" normally with this inverted information. Then things were able to switch back when they stopped wearing the glasses, with the footnote that after the experience they did experience some random scene flipping as if their brains had trouble sticking with an interpretation. I don't know if this study has ever been reproduced or attempted.

I bring it up to say, it would be interesting to test facial recognition in the same way that this piece is talking about with subjects wearing "those" glasses..

my takeaway from this piece was a bit diff than what seems to have been talked about so far.

clearing out externalities and understanding your own emotional response to a product- whether you’ve built it or not - is likely hard to learn, and is intuition driven.

and it is understanding this response that allows builders to create things that evoke a similar emotional response in others.
