> you should do this too!

Absolutely not :)

Maintainability is one of my core values too, down to doing my own bike maintenance, like you! But it is far from being #1 to such a degree that this would make sense for me.

The Framework laptop is a good divergence point for us. Whereas you continue to eke out 9s on the DIY side, I realize resilience by having a spare decade old ThinkPad lying around at all times on which I can run Linux and Neovim in a pinch, and trusting there will be a lot of sub-$100 ThinkPads in the future should that one break on me too. I carry around the bits of CS and mathematics needed to trust myself to write a slow, informal, bug ridden parser with Haskell's combinators from Markdown to HTML if I ever have to. I don't see that day coming any time soon.

I'd hire you if I could. You'd be the perfect counterweight to a great many folks who tilt in the opposite direction.
That's a good list.

I don't think they are hated by the artists. I think they provide the artists a very useful and desirable service. Which is to extract every possible penny from fans while also taking the negative PR hit on behalf of the artist. The artist can throw their hands up as if there really is nothing they can do and blame it on Ticketmaster. Yet they are getting a healthy cut of all those fees and above retail ticket prices. Either through up front exclusivity agreements or through other hidden means.

Ticketmaster then tries to offload some of the blame to unknown "scalpers" but I think it's very likely that most of the scalpers are either Ticketmaster itself or entities contracted with them.

it's the only logical explanation since if they really wanted to solve the scalping problem, it would be the easiest thing in the world to solve. just make the tickets non-transferable.

I really enjoyed reading this article.

The author is honest with themself and earnest with the reader. They're unapologetically themself, and figuring out how to achieve their goals in ways that align with their values and bring them joy. If those values do not align with yours, that is okay. That is beautiful! Now you have a clue as to what path you might explore.

The article is kind and humble and authentic, and I think that the author and the article make the world a better place. Thank you for writing it, and thank you for sharing it.
The changes for satellite and internet radio had their own problems that I do think should be addressed, but you're right, that's not Spotify's fault.

But Spotify bears the brunt of the responsibility for building a product that was on-demand recording buffet that essentially exists to replace recording collections while yielding broadcast-order payouts rather than being an honest broadcast product.
If they’re going to require an Internet connection to watch broadcast TV, the 500-608 MHz spectrum might as well be turned over to broadband (likely 5G NR). Broadcasters now make the majority of their revenue from retransmission fees from cable TV. They have been divesting from antenna TV by focusing content production on their cable TV channels and leaving reruns for antenna TV channels.

Yeah, our rails codebase by default has everything in the global namespace. It's possible to add namespacing with modules, which we do all over the place, but it took some getting used to for me to learn that everything was automatically "available" without any import statements anywhere.

While convenient, it's made it very hard for me to reason about each module's dependencies and interconnections to other bits of the code.

It could be that it is just as dangerous as before but people are more desperate. I don't know either way but desperation was the first thing I thought while looking at the photos of detritus left by people trying to cross the Darien gap a while ago. If it is so dnagerous then I guess I hope some trail/route evolves into something more durable.
It could do with a flag field for "probably stolen from the collection by staff" and another for "ownership contentious"

Paths in a URL aren't actually accessing files on a hard drive. They're sending a request to a program to serve the client the content defined by the path. Many times, said "server" program then goes and looks at a path on its host drive and serves a file there, but that is by no means a requirement - it's just a string that serves as an identifier.

In this case, the content served in response to the identifier "/static/style.css" can very easily (and according to the author, is) baked directly into the (single) binary.

Interesting. That seems like a clear case of "familiarity with these creatures lets me empathise with them".

You're seeing what remains of a strong and healthy period of Canadian history. But almost every facet is currently under threat and significant stress.

You can't fund a "news" organization with public money and expect them to be an independent agency that holds the government's feet to the fire. They don't do much more than add a thin veneer of objectivity and independent analysis for any significant government initiative.

FAA rules are written in blood. They may be overbearing and often tedious, but they are far from dumb and pointless. Those rules are from other government agencies.
It’s not only about material wealth, it’s about agency.

If you’re a corporate drone, someone else owns your time. Want to take some time off? You need permission from your employer. Want to do something differently? Need permission. Want to think for yourself or take initiative? Frowned upon at best, forbidden at worst.

Nothing wrong with one or the other, but it doesn’t suit everyone.
Post-Quantum Cryptography VPN
The suggestion is a good one (I like the versioning idea) and it is correct that DRM does not prevent unauthorized distribution.

In fact, US copyright registration already requires submitting a copy to the Library of Congress either as a physical copy or in a standardized, DRM-free format (with the possible exception of encrypted PDFs, for which I assume the password would be required?) [1]

However, LoC could go even further by becoming a digital lending library, or a compulsory licensing regime could be enacted for public libraries in general.

I don’t recall exactly where I heard (perhaps #tcl on Freenode back in the day) that Tcl dodged a bullet by not becoming the standard, because it was left free to experiment without the responsibility of backward compatibility for the web…

It also closes tabs, and can allow scrolling. These things are in different contexts and don't interfere. You'd need to be in a text box to middle-click-paste. It won't mess up opening a link in a new tab.

> Another thing is Ruby allows code to be far more compact

Yes, this I've definitely noticed, and I do really like. The block syntax and proliferation of functional-style stuff is an absolute joy... most of the time. It fits the style of how I like to think about problems, and lets me move very quickly for writing code, but I often find myself confused about what existing code does, and it takes me a while to load the context into my mind when I'm working on something.

I think that's because while other languages (like Python) tend to be more verbose, that verbosity leaves room to explain what's going on more clearly. I'm not saying verbosity is always a good thing--I've written enough Java to know that, but I do sometimes find myself wishing there were more 'clues' in the ruby code I deal with to help understand what's going on.

Not needing parenthesis and general strangeness around value returning doesn't help, either. Again, I see how it makes code more compact, and that can be a good thing (fitting more relevant code on the screen at the same time), but inasmuch as understanding what's going on quickly, sometimes I wish there were a few more markers :)

I totally agree with the “undemanding Canadians” view…so true! I moved here 12 years ago from Dubai and the demands/standards of business and service are way lower here. Pros are that it’s laid back and chill, cons are that we are unlikely to lead and innovate because we are satisfied with the status quo
Less of an issue in economy seats seats but in new business class seats or suites there’s the possibility for a lot of crushing and grinding of the battery of the phone with the mechanical moving components of the seat.

I had it happen to me once but as instructed didn’t move the seat (had to move to another one for landing as it was stuck in the lie flat position).

After landing the maintenance crew had to completely dismantle the back of the seat but they found the phone. The pilots and crew were obviously a bit annoyed as they couldn’t disembark the aircraft with me still on board. But much better result than having to declare PAN PAN.
Unmitigated bullshit in this comment. All current and past evidence of mining practices is a neon trail of hazard and destruction. It’s not even worth it to put up references because even a 5 second cursory fact check shows otherwise.

How plausible is it that somebody would crush a phone deliberately, considering that it involves only items already allowed on board? Or a team of people doing this throughout the aircraft?
Not disagreeing with your point in general, but:

Not everyone can become an architect or water systems engineer at 50, after having worked a "general assistant" type office job for many years.

"Third party" just means anyone who isn't a party to the contract. They're called that because most contracts have two parties (e.g., buyer and seller, landlord and tenant, service provider and customer). Contracts can have three or more parties, but they're not usually numbered. The TV trope of incomprehensible legalese involving "the party of the first part" and "the party of the second part" is a joke that you won't actually find in modern agreements.
What about asciinema?
This doesn't cover the use-case of having unique info in both at the same time, allowing you to paste in your desired order. I have a script where I read from the primary selection, modify the text, and put it on the clipboard. I use this along with something more like a regular clipboard manager to complete a task. Combined I can highlight some text, put other info on my main clipboard to paste right away, then run my script that uses the primary selection afterward without going back to re-copy the first text.
Two ways -- first, as already a couple other people mentioned, the battery could get crushed in a hinge; and second, a phone which is turned on and wedged between two cushions might overheat. This second danger is why modern phones are required to detect overheating and preemptively shut down -- but it's going to be decades before the FAA will want to assume that everyone has phones with that safety mechanism built in.
It’s commonly done the other way, actually. Converting 24fps to 30fps for converting film (typically shot at 24fps) to TV broadcast ready, which is 29.97 fps in the US/NTSC region.

That said, you can go the other way. Basically, you interlace certain frames. Wikipedia has a great article on this.

This seems like it will clutter code. I wish it was more terse as I find modern C++ code bases to be way too verbose already. It starts to get straining when looking at new modules.
> Seeing as they kept making SPARC CPUs for a decade longer

because there were poor customers stuck in the SPARC trap. it would them huge to move to a different ISA and there is usually no $ return for doing that. trying not to further damage its PR, they thus decided to keep the production going.

same logic for Intel making Itanium all the way until 2018 or 2019.

This comment ignores that the general attitude towards taxation has changed severely in the past few decades. One party has extreme ideological opposition to enacting new taxes, and many states are effectively one-party states. The gas tax has not been high enough to pay for *half* of the upkeep for roads in any state in decades.

All states rely on the once-in-x-decades ""infrastructure"" bills to bail out their huge road maintenance deficit, and as a result, there is no incentive to invest in alternatives. There is unlimited money to subsidize all private car transportation and everything it requires: knocking down neighborhoods to expand highways, requiring 2/3-3/4 of lots be for parking and driveways, and funding it all with federal and state tax dollars (>90% of which is from money that doesn't come from gas taxes, auto registration fees, etc).

So no. The answer won't be new taxes, it'll be more of the same of every taxpayer paying tax money to subsidize 90% of car infrastructure with current taxation. The gas tax hasn't been relevant in decades outside of California.

Thank you that was enlightening. Yeah for some reason the US doesn't like to restrictions on so called capitalism, so corporations draining communities their resources are nothing new.

I recently became CTO, and one of the biggest struggles I have is communication with the CEO. (Sorry if covered by the book, just read the index)

On 8 months so far, the CEO:

* Don't want to have any alignment meeting.
* Don't want to plan anything.
* Don't want to drive vision.
* Want to focus only in the killer feature.
* Don't want to build mockups or prototypes to test with users.
* If we do, they have to be beautiful.
* Don't want to work on anything that takes more than a week.
* Rejected to have any effective meeting.

> I also recognize that I'm very clearly a static typing snob

Honestly I'm right with you. I was complaining in another ruby thread [0] the other day about how opaque ruby is in terms of context around what's actually happening and where things come from in a given block of code.

I'm about a year into working at a Rails shop and it's been a wild ride coming from a background of Swift/C++/Python. There's some cool syntax niceties in Ruby around writing functional blocks which I really like, but beyond that I find myself just endlessly frustrated with it as a tool. A lot of the senior folk at my org swear by ruby and know enough of Rails to have a good intuition about what's going on and how the system is organized, but for someone new to the whole enchilada it's so hard to find mental purchase in any given chunk of code.
