When I'm in the mood for new stuff, sometimes I just open up bandcamp and click around, buying "random" albums if there's a song or two whose previews sound good. I have a radio on my desk that I listen to at times (thank you Shazam). And I have a couple of internet radio streams I listen to.

I also sometimes just stare at CDs at a local used store and stand there in the aisle previewing the music online.

Another thing: I'm in a handful of Discords with #music channels. I like some people's tastes, so when they post a thing I usually listen in.

But people with non-streaming collections can still go onto Youtube or the like to listen to a song!
Sure. I used to be one of the ideological ones using Devuan.

"A number" being the operative word here. It's a small number, and for a pretty good reason.

I get there is an important reason to have choice, but bragging about how you don't use systemd is just meme-y and comes from a place of (misplaced) elitism usually.
My assumption here is they exploited a race condition between order cancellation and spend, as well as the lack of transparency on spend items.

As in, Uber has to provide some allowance for the Uber Eats courier to spend while the cancellation happens.

1. Enter order for $700 of whatever
2. Got to store.
3. Cancel order
4. Buy $700 gift cards immediately

Uber sees the driver doing his job. Credit cards don’t report what’s bought, only that $700 was spent. Uber courier says “oops, I didn’t see the cancel in time”. Customer isn’t charged in this case, they cancelled.

They leave with $700 of gift cards.

Still, seems easily detectable behavior, but maybe it’s common anyway.
I fully agree that too much direct and indirect international "intervention" in pursuit of influence toward their interests is not helpful to overall global peace and prosperity.
I did the pizza thing back when bitcoin first started.

Ever since then (and through to currently) I use Bitcoin to pay for various things like my Mullvad account each year, torrent/etc services, random stuff like that.

Mostly because I’m really really lazy and it’s easier than finding then putting in my CC details.
It can be hosted without Systemd:

sudo runuser -u cockpit-wsinstance -- /usr/libexec/cockpit-ws --port=9090 --for-tls-proxy
I wasn't quite satisfied with how Cockpit works, so I've recently been developing an alternative that aims to be customizable, modular and without daemons or other extra dependencies: https://github.com/kalaksi/lightkeeper
What they’re saying is that it’s your opinion that that would be an improved experience, and that’s not an objective opinion that other people share.
Yeah right.

Microsoft isn't about to let go of IP rights around the most well known text adventures.

But at the same time, I'd be surprised if they don't do anything with them either.

The synergy between their investment into OpenAI and their acquisition of Activision might suggest that they'll be doing quite a fair bit with those franchises indeed.
I kinda like that we don't have central clearing houses for podcast recommendations.

It makes it one of the few remaining forms of media where I have to rely on friends to disseminate their likes and dislikes and give recommendations. The sharing of these primarily in real life social interactions is a part of the predigital age I actually want to keep around.
Adding to my wikipedia reading list, thanks
> And if they can’t collaborate remotely, they may not be a good fit for a remote company.

I work for a REMOTE first company and we had a junior developer that was struggling with not being in the office. The good news is that they were able to move to another company with a local office. The bad news is we didn't see that they were struggling until it was too late. Maybe if we were in the office we might have been able to reach out and help sooner.

I feel like employee happiness and job satisfaction is harder to manage remotely. Or it just might be that this employee wouldn't have worked out anyway. Who knows.

Thought experiment: Online advertising is regulated. How do so-called "tech" companies respond. Do they have a plan. Even if they continued to sell surveillance and data services, they would shrink in size.

There are various ways ads could be regulated and historical precedents.

Regardless of whether this ever happens, currently, online advertising is highly centralised and under increasing scrutiny. This centralisation is not the result of innovation by a select few companies but plain old M&A by the so-called "tech" giants, while the the government was apparently sleeping. If more competition were to take place in online ad services, this could potentially have a serious effect on the lifeblood of so-called "tech" giants. Time will tell.
Yes. In fact, "gun latches position counters using CRT beam timing" is the common approach. As far as I'm aware, blanking out white boxes to do a single target test per frame is something exclusive to the NES Zapper, and I'm not sure why Nintendo built things out this way.
> If the bike lane causes one person to give up their car and commute by bike, that's worth hundreds of trees per year.

Where they did this is by my house, so I think I can speak to this a bit. It was not good planning, not that you can only have one or the other. Trees are also huge fighters of climate change heat casualties. The tree coverage keeps the ground and, specifically, the asphalt cooler: https://www.wweek.com/news/2023/06/07/a-major-investment-in-...

Without the trees "heat islands" have developed and surprise, surprise they're in places where people have less money to throw at making the city to keep both a priority in their neighborhoods. The lack of tree coverage is also necessitating the purchase of cooling systems which many people can't afford (and yes, in Portland we do have people dying in their homes from high heat) - so the trees being missing necessitates subsidizing AC units for folks, which is a tangible cost now associated with lack of tree coverage vs proper tree coverage.

> I wish uninformed people would stop trying to "gotcha" environmental progress. Believe it or not, the people planning these things are much more educated in the subject than a bunch of software engineers and "entrepreneurs"

Not to "gotcha" you or anyone else, but it was the city planners themselves who came out with this mea culpa and did a study on the heat islands. Our government is very unique and not very cohesive so it is actually reasonable to investigate whether PBOT and the people who contract tree coverage in the city actually talked.
That's simply not true, studies were placebo-controlled until after administration of approved vaccines have started everywhere. No voices towards giving placebo branch the vaccine started before March 2021 when most vulnerable population and a good chunk of population overall was already vaccinated by "production" vaccine. Some studies eventually gave vaccine to placebo participants (thus ending the trial) in mid-2021, some never did. In any case, vaccine authorisation was in all cases based on studies with proper placebo control.

And no, mRNA vaccines are still in use everywhere in the European Union. Vaccination against Covid in general has been withdrawn from the wide public because it's no longer worth the cost and risks, because everyone today has some level of immunity and today's Covid strains are a lot less dangerous, so it's worth the scoop for only most vulnerable population groups.

Moveover, mRNA vaccines for other viruses are being tested and used after the Covid success and there is no talk about limiting or banning the technology. Your posts looks like some conspiracy theory.
I probably could have guessed that contrastive pre-training works better for downstream vision-language tasks than image classification pre-training, but it's nice to see this hypothesis thoroughly tested here.

Also, hacks to get LLMs to generate structured output seem to be mostly getting the job done. I'm less optimistic about this approach for traditional vision tasks where language is the interface, however. Are we going to get models to output a pixel-wise segmentation mask as text? I want to doubt it but seeing how LLMs are about to output long sequences of structured text leaves my mind open.
There is remote, and then there is "away from office building".

I doubt most jobs are truly "be in the Maldives 24/7/365, we damn care".

Most "remote" jobs are just "don't come to office, but do be ~nearby, for reasons".

These reasons are often some sort of legal/tax type things (data security, tax rate calculation etc) They want the employee to be in the same/similar jurisdiction as them, both to avoid any legal liabilities and to avoid extra work.

It's difficult to let your sensitive data flow across borders, for example, and now one wants the headache of multiple tax jurisdictions, etc.

Now, whether you are "actually" physically present in the specific region is a different question, but at least offices like to pretend you are close by.

Also, people DO like to have group sessions, so they like to call up people to get together and has out things every once in a while, they'd prefer people who can visit without visa headaches.

That's why I feel truly remote is not as big of a threat as people feel like, and as some one who'd like to avail remote options, I feel this has been an actual barrier in getting jobs, so I think you needn't worry about people like me taking your jobs :D
Worse than the long duration of copyright is that (in this case, and not just this case) it does absolutely nothing for the actual creators of the IP, but only serves to enable all those huge companies that have zero history with the IP (and often zero interest in it) - to sell and buy those rights, and maybe send some cease-and-desists, but otherwise just let them collect dust.

Copyright is no longer about protecting the rights of the original creators... but purely about allowing big companies to purchase and exploit IP created by others.
> One of the biggest issues with this pattern is if there's a ton of IO that's necessary for the application.

Yes, that's why patterns like this are necessary.

Do you stop doing dependency inversion when you have too many dependencies?
It does mention this in the section "“REST” Wins, Kinda…"

"""
Some pushed through to Level 3 by incorporating hypermedia controls in their responses, but nearly all these APIs still needed to publish documentation, indicating that the “Glory of REST” was not being achieved.

JSON taking over as the response format should have been a strong hint as well: JSON is obviously not a hypertext. You can impose hypermedia controls on top of it, but it isn’t natural.

Personally, the section "The Crux of REST: The Uniform Interface & HATEOAS" says it all.

Sure, they're the exception, but the sheer volume of exceptions is staggering compared to Swedish (and Swedish is pretty bad imo!).

Look at the simple sentence I wrote naturally above. There are so many violations of "sounding out" logic there! "Sure" should reasonably be spelled "shur", "they're" is a big topic in itself, c vs s spelling is all over the place, silent e at the end of words randomly, "compared" has a silent e IN the word because you have to know that it comes from "compare". And writing this explanation of the problems, I had to use even more words that are illogical, like: sentence, wrote, there (not counting words with c for s).
You jest, but don't forget that to Microsoft leadership their battle in LLMs is likely seen as even more important than all of team Xbox.

Getting nerds who grew up on Zork to effectively give free problem solving training data and pay a subscription price for the privilege by grounding RLHF data collection into a beloved franchise might not be that low on priorities over at Microsoft.
Does the military even want conscripts? If those great power conflicts do happen then they will largely be fought using complex stand-off weapons. Low skilled, unmotivated conscripts are likely to be more of a hindrance than a help. If we can procure another cruise missile instead of training and supplying a few more riflemen, which will make the greater contribution?

I'd agree that big tech are big because they built a (good) product that appeals to the masses. Make no mistake though, they've also used their power to abuse the system and cement themselves as monopolies which is modus operandi for a monopoly.

As for the comment that TikTok got big, sure they've managed to amass a fairly large user base but they pail in comparison against the likes of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, etc on any metric that matters.

TikTok are also the new hotness and could just as easily go as much as they came. The big tech companies have survived massive market shifts, economic catastrophes, dodged/maneuvered their way through government regulatory apparatus around the world measured in decade time scales.
Zoho for pricing. It’s alright, they answer their support email. They have a bunch of tools like gmail but never really used them.
The idea of buying them through "a familiar and therefore trustworthy place" that matters, where products could be filled with lead? Doesn't sound like a very trustworthy place to me

If I want to buy supplements, I will buy them from a trustworthy supplement store online that is popular and well known. If I want to buy a new TV I will go to popular and familiar online retailers that specialise in selling HiFi products.

Amazon is quantity over quality. I want to be shown quality products, Visa and the consumer guarantee I get from reputable retailers is better than unknowingly buying lead filled supplements.

> Marx’s claim is that there are functional relations between technology and social structure, so that you can’t just combine them any old way. Marx was, in this regard, certainly right, hence the sociological naiveté that lies at the heart of Dune. Feudalism with energy weapons makes no sense – a feudal society could not produce energy weapons, and energy weapons would undermine feudal social relations.

This doesn’t do justice to the world building of Dune. Technology is very limited. Computers are banned (for good reasons), and using those energy weapons is also forbidden in most situations. Thus, combat is once again dominated by the kind of melee encounters that were also historically the domain of a trained warrior caste. All of this is explored in detail in the later books, which maybe the author hasn’t read? If anything, Dune deeply affirms that society mirrors technology rather than creating a simple “naive feudal sci-fi” world as claimed here.

I haven’t read much past that yet since the article is very wordy, and it’s hard to be motivated to push forward once you stop being convinced that the author has a point.
> Modules on the other hand are more strict and would likely have made the job of writing language bindings easier and more predictable.

There's two ways for tooling like swig to work with modules:

1. Read the compiled module and generate the stubs to call into it.

2. Read the source code for the module and generate the stubs for it.

Which of those, do you think, is easier than reading C (not C++) header files?

I totally agree that they are not the same. However, the CPI isn't supposed to capture everything.

If someone wants to talk about the cost of buying and homeownership rates, there is tons of data on that to point at.
Hamas has the stated aim of jihad in their official charter, targets civilians, and quite literally wants to murder every "Zionist" (even those in America). That is their actual stance. It's insane and why they are recognized as a terrorist organization by many countries.

They use ambulances, schools, and other civilian cover to smuggle weapons and launch terrorist attacks.

What exactly do you expect the IDF to do? Let it pass? Ask Hamas to please step away from the civilians so they can be targeted?

Well, the latter is exactly what the IDF has done routinely, and paid for it in Israeli blood. Enough is enough.

Instead of blaming Israel, maybe start asking why the rest of the Arab/Muslim world like Egypt and Jordan won't take Hamas in their borders. Ask why the UN turns a blind eye to the UNRWA who use funds earmarked for medicine to purchase weapons.

The humanitarian crisis is severe and horrible. Nobody is denying that. However, it is not Israel's responsibility to enable Hamas anymore. They want to use human shields, then maybe those humans shouldn't have elected a freaking psychotic terrorist organization to be their government in the first place. It's still sad, and horrible that innocent people die in war.

Again- Egypt and Jordan can easily prevent this.

Hell, tell Jordan to carve off a chunk of their lot from the British Mandate of Palestine, without encroaching on the ancient Jewish promised land, and this whole damn problem goes away.
For capitalism to work long-term there needs to be regulations (this was even included in Smith's "The Wealth of Nations"). But in the US people are incredibly hostile to any form of government actions, hence unfettered capitalism will continue and corporations will steadily grow into monopolies.

New Outlook for Windows Regression: No Local IMAP/SMTP Support
Hi, I installed the New Outlook for Windows, and I learnt that there is no IMAP/SMTP connection option if the IMAP/SMTP servers are not exposed to the internet (for example, when they are available only in VPN or internally or on a local network). Outlook says that it needs to upload everything to the Microsoft Cloud in order work. That is quite a serious functionality loss compared to the old Outlook, and a bit of a privacy nightmare.

See: https://imgur.com/a/2ZrO3F1

That makes it impossible to use Outlook in my business.

I remember the New Outlook for Mac had a similar start, but then the IMAP/SMTP connection to servers which are not on the internet was added.

I know there are people here from Microsoft. Do you know if this feature will be re-added to the New Outlook for Windows before the general release? Microsoft doesn't want to give me a straight answer.

P.s. I am also interested in your opinion about this move.
More generally, they are called smart cards, and can be in the form factor of a USB stick (not mass storage USB stick).
Complete lack of encapsulation. You never know when changing one element is going to change another, seemingly unrelated element - e.g. you add a class to a high-level element expecting to get a border around your page, and it gives you a border around your page but also around some small elements on your page that are picked up by that same selector. You can't reliably reuse your styling or components between pages, because the exact same element placed in two different pages might end up with radically different styling.
Freedom on the Land
> Why not?

Because my attention belongs to me. It's not yours to sell to the highest advertising bidder. It's not currency to pay for services with. You're not entitled to it no matter how much free stuff you send me. My attention is part of my cognitive functions and it is literally inalienable. If you try to take it as payment by advertising to me, it will be self defense when I stop you.

> Why should I rather give away "real money"?

You shouldn't. That's why I block ads unconditionally. I know there's absolutely no reason for you or anyone else to leave money on the table by not advertising to people. I also know that paying you not to advertise to me just drives the value of my attention up and makes you want to advertise to me more. There's absolutely no situation in which advertisers would not want to advertise to me. The only possible course of action is to unconditionally and preemptively block them all.

> You cannot demand free stuff without giving something back.

Who's "demanding" anything? You're the one sending people free stuff while hoping they'll look at the ads. There's any number of things they could do, including discarding your ads. You're the one taking on that risk. When it inevitably doesn't work out, it's on you. Don't give away free stuff if you want people to pay for stuff. Have your server return HTTP 402 Payment Required instead of a free webpage.

> The advertising system got sick and everything around polluted.

No, advertising is inherently sick and unethical. Why would you ever listen to anyone trying to sell you anything? They have every incentive in the world to lie to you, manipulate you, overstate the pros and hide the cons. Anything an advertiser says should be doubted based purely on the unresolvable and inherent conflicts of interest associated with them.

Advertising should be literally illegal. It's nothing but noise, audiovisual pollution. There are cities in my country that banned it and the results were great, I want to figure out how to propose similar laws in my own city.
