> Social aggregators like HN and Reddit won. RSS lost.

Social aggregators are great for discovery, they can let the community surface good items, but they suck for subscription. Once I have found authors that I like I want a way to reliably see their content, not hoping that it happens to be popular on the site at around the time that I happen to visit. Unless you are refreshing your feed hourly you are going to miss a lot of content from your favourite authors, and even the most addicted users won't see it all. As an author I also appreciate loyalty of subscribers more than viral surges, but I understand that the money is probably better with the viral surges.
Thats not the equation people are using to weigh ownership vs subscribership.
IF one has the time and knowledge to set up some kind of apparatus which most-tech oriented people in this thread consider trivial which replicates an always on, convenient, and available service to deposit said ripped files in and stream, then it is a little more fair of a comparison. But that initial barrier is not inconsequential.
Average users see a hugely available, instantly installable, solution for a very small fee, in most western countries.

In either case the argument isn't clear what traits are really responsible for the behavior, i cant say i have a solid case either.
I'd also wager disagreeability to play a huge role.
I’ve had this exact thought a million times.

The first time I tripped acid - I remember writing a page of notes on how sad I felt that I would never get to experience the exact way a memory occurred to me in the past.

What’s even more saddening is that with tech like Rewind, and what’ll be the future of Rewind in 10-20 years, by 2040, I fully expect all memories/events ever produced to be logged in an almost endless database of all human experience.

But - because time is linear, we wouldn’t ever fully be able to simulate the past of say everything before 2030? And that’s just so sad.

Tasmania also cultivates some.
Usually a/b/c but sometimes f/function, k/key, v/value... just a simple mnemonic.

To really blow your mind:

i<c-r>%

V:!ls<cr>

Then you start playing with marks a little bit with a similar concept (eg: ma, mb, mc, 'a, 'b, 'c), and the good friend `gi` (go back to previous insert position)...

It's again, esoteric, but as you use it more, it becomes less esoteric and more just another part of your vim vocabulary (:help search-offset, fellow traveler).
I think "broken" is a bit of an exaggeration, when the actual problem is "just not compatible with your hardware".

> It's not like cooking. Everyone has to eat.

Not everyone likes cake (believe it or not). But everyone understands why someone else might want a cake.

It’s a storytellers job to make the connection or to provide a surrogate. Most people have never been orphans, but Little orphan Annie’s character acts as surrogate through which the viewer can understand the orphan world.

You’re right that having more context of your audience and having shared interests help, but you can still tell a story to someone you’ve never met.
I think it's basically a program that runs well on a CPU but not on a GPU or DSP: a hard-to-predict branch for every few math or logic operations and data layouts not looking like a few large arrays.
> In macOS/Windows, there are runtime permissions these days which allow you to control which folders can be given to which application.

I know about this feature on macOS, but how do you configure this on windows?

I’ve seen the protected folders feature or something like that. But that’s not “which app can access which folder”. Rather, “only this list of apps can access this list of folders”.
There is no mention or implication of there being a free market. Start a new thread if that is a subject you are interested in. Nobody in this thread is.
This is early days.

Things I managed to deliver in my first year of the first startup with Django + Ajax/Vuejs were a number of multiyear multiteam developments in my second startup (scaleup) that had dozens of microservices and Angular SPA.

No, you need to count VAT that employee pays when they buy stuff.

There's a difference of that sort between Oregon and Washington states in US: Oregon has no VAT, but has state income tax (on top of federal) and WA has 10% VAT but no state income tax. In the end they come out approximately the same tax load.

E.g. taking Germany and Standard 19% VAT and the 86,4K/200K you mentioned you get about 95.4K left for prices before VAT (e.g. you can only buy 95,4 x 1K EUR (as seen in countries without VAT) iPads), which is already >50% in total tax. Now you remember you started with 215K EUR at the company and you get ~55% total tax.
Amazon is bad because:

> Amazon has been happy to rake in commissions for years from dodgy products sold by third party sellers (uncertified electrical equipment, scam flash drives/SSDs, spycams, etc)...
Some of us do, actually.
It's still very hard to grow with high failure rates, but you can definitely find plants for affordable prices -- a bit less than 10$, but then you need to manage to keep it alive for 3 years if you want to enjoy it propagate it.
There are a number of good YT videos on how to cultivate it, and some documentaries on professional plantations.

To have it the spiciest you should wait a good ten minutes or more, the spiciness is activated by the process:
"The chemical in wasabi that provides for its initial pungency is the volatile compound allyl isothiocyanate, which is produced by hydrolysis of allyl glucosinolate [...]; the hydrolysis reaction is catalyzed by myrosinase and occurs when the enzyme is released on cell rupture caused by grating" (adapted from wikipedia)

There’s always a reason.

“I want to learn something just to learn something” isn’t the best reason, but it is A reason.

I mention in another post that even if the reason doesn’t interest you personally, the teacher still should make a strong case and you should walk away knowing why someone (even if not you) could do, if only they had the knowledge.
They train and drop them.... and rely on you to figure it out.
I assume his tendency to say things that upset a particularly sensitive political milieu, but I can't say that's what they meant for certain.
I'm old and I sympathize with your last sentence, I _imagine_ certain reinforced paths through repeated experience are myelin covered so much as to be almost static. But if I think of generations growing up, their brains aren't reinforced/seasoned enough to spot these "Wait... What?" moments in online content that is almost sensical but not quite. In a world with ever increasing AI hallucinated content, when children absorb fake content and build strong paths in their brains, at some point the words/meaning could be so distorted that you cannot understand anymore the person in front of you? I think of the political landscape where we have similar problems, social media algorithms curate content to keep you entertained within subjects A and B, and you have a community with shared values and you are seasoned and share its language domain. How would the landscape look like when the net can be bombarded by content that appears to be true, valid and useful but it really is not, for young generations? Also if somebody can paint the right myoline picture in my head (not plausible text generation but science) I would really appreciate it.

I imagine it’s as hard as keeping the same style, characters, expression for your storyboard using image generative AI. While they are good for one-off shots, keeping the scenes consistently fit a storyboard is something different. Then people have invented control-net such as DepthNet and Pose, which will allow a more fine-grained control of the image-generation process but not totally as working with a human artist. Thus the more productive approach is still using Photoshop/Illustrator plus Generative AI to quickly filling parts of the image one wants. I think it’s the same with code generation. Human still has to control and organize the structure of the program as a whole. Part of the code can be generated by AI, but one has to run Langchain and other verification processes to make sure the code is usable and consistent with the whole.

The whole AI field is revolving around tweaking and fine tuning, so I don’t think the finicky thing will go away any soon. Looking back at the whole automation/expert/AI history, we can see that specialization is always a more promising approach and I believe it’s the way to go for current AI development as well; not replacing humans but filling in the niche and automate the long and boring stuffs.
On the job, I wouldn't go implementing whatever pops into my head without input from my manager and product management.

Even if the change could easily pass a technical review and get merged.

First you have to determine: do we need this for the product? If this change is made, does it break user workflows? What difficulties will users have if they pick up this change?
I would say Toyota proved that isn’t true. American car makers tried a price only strategy and it led to a terrible reputation for low quality and opened the door to being totally pwned by Toyota, who offered more expensive but vastly higher quality products. The real test will be if Chinese car makers can leverage the ill gotten IP sufficiently to develop high quality products that are reliable and have high quality service experiences. I suspect they can meet quality standards, as quality control has met western standards in Chinese manufacturing of western products for some time. But establishing a service infrastructure will be a challenge in European and American markets that meets expectations. There is also a trend of corner cutting for domestic Chinese companies akin to 1980’s American car makers that will be interesting to watch, especially as time goes on and the initial focus on expansion wanes and BAU sets in. Hopefully though this will ultimately lead to more domestic research and less industrial espionage and forced transfer agreement based businesses, and all boats will rise from more competitive and research pressure globally.
Probably because somebody had the tarballs lying around, somebody else said "dude, that's so cool, you need to put them on github", and the first person grudgingly obliged. Seems reasonable to me to defer the labor of unpacking and organizing everything to the person who thinks it's really cool, instead of the person who regrets not cleaning out their desk sooner.
Then there are people who don't follow master.

Some people only pick up releases, including test releases.

The article opens:

Buried beneath the oceans surrounding continents is a naturally occurring frozen form of methane and water.

Sometimes dubbed “fire-ice” as you can literally set light to it, marine methane hydrate can melt as the climate warms, uncontrollably releasing methane – a potent greenhouse gas – into the ocean and possibly the atmosphere.

The oceans surrounding continents are, for the majority, shallow waters not deep ocean.

It's somewhat worse than that in practice, studies indicate that when methane hydrates melt and are released at the land|ocean edges where the bottom waters have warmed ... more methane ice hydrates slowly migrate under pressure to the melting zone, replacing lost methane ice hydrates and then melting itself.

Long-distance migration and venting of methane from the base of the hydrate stability zone

Some of the methane containment zone warming enough to melt and release methane is akin to taking the cap off the toothpaste when the tube is under pressure.
> I cannot see why a superintelligence wouldn't be able to put together Stuxnet^10

How will this Stuxnet^10 be able to do orders of magnitude more damage, though? Shut down power plants? Launch ze nukes?

The "shut down power plants" issue already exists and people have been aware since the Y2K scare, and now due to cyberwarfare concerns. Such problems are solved by not being dumb, and making sure there are enough air-gaps and humans-in-the-loop that an errant computer command can't wreak havoc (or fire ze missiles).

I guess your Stuxnet^10 could do damage by immobilizing the entire Tesla fleet, but once again, that's a dumb design issue with networked cars, not a vulnerability you need a super-AI to exploit. And I personally don't (and would never) drive a remotely-updatable car myself for exactly this reason.

These are all problems that are easily solved by not doing anything monumentally stupid engineering-wise. The lesson we need to take to heart isn't Terminator, it's Chernobyl.
The reason people pay Hashicorp for HSM support is so that they can run Vault in a FIPS-certified mode.
"Put all your eggs in one basket" isn't the traditional advice.

Any one of these companies can at any time change their API, pricing, access rules, or even swap the model out for a dumber, cheaper one at the same price. You'll have no recourse if you don't have several backends available, or control your own.

At a minimum, you should have available several hot-swappable backends/APIs if you want to remain viable in an indeterminate future.
Is it dangerous to eat dark chocolate because of its cadmium and lead content?
As far as anyone can tell there has been no additional proof beyond hers. I was quite concerned because I caught wind of it via a Reddit cooking subreddit and from what I could tell there was no contamination. Never a recall, KitchenAid never changed their tune. Some individuals had tested theirs, no issues.

So at the end of the day who really knows. I am sure some of the things she tests is truthful but the problem is her testing does not have the greatest standards and the way she comes across seems manic. These sorts of things require rigorous testing and you can never be wrong.

Sadly no other resources that I know of. These are the sorts of things that if not the government, a third party nonprofit type rating agency does. Her mom groups are filled with panicked and freaked out individuals which is not wha tit should be.
"Expose" was the key word here. A ton of sites already have feeds and just don't make them easy to get to. It's honestly not hard.

It's also a category error to compare RSS and social aggregators.
Neither the Swiss nor the German executive government is voted for by the people. I guess those aren't presidents, but why does it matter? Oh, by the way, the German president (who is only a figurehead) is also not elected by the people.

Technically, not even the US president is elected directly by the people (but by the electoral council). This is why someone can become president without receiving the popular vote.

I would guess the clients were tested against a staging server with a newer working version of the compression code. And a server without compression. Maybe nobody even realized the productions servers had compression, and the client was being rolled out in anticipation.
Also, what would it take to put it an API key? What would you say are the reasons you would never put it in?
I want something simpler than git, with less features, less commands, but far easier to use and covers 99% of use cases, preferably a GUI. (No, simple git guis do not exist.)
People who feel obligated to work after work hours also are probably in a poor work culture company.

I log off when I went to log off and if I have an idea or a reason to work at night I do it. If I feel it's not productive I sleep early and do it in the morning.

Those who feel obligated could also be doing it to look good to their boss.
No, that's a typical size for bcachefs as well.

But I've had to optimize for memory usage, performance when working set does not fit into ram - we also don't have a serialize/deserialize step, that will really hurt you when working set doesn't fit in ram.

You want to validate when you're reading in a btree node, but you want to keep that as cheap as possible.

For avoiding the serialize/deserialize, the thing to use now would be Cap'n Proto.
> True, but SaaS still runs on cloud infrastructure so the costs are still there

You can bring the costs way down. Their margins include a pretty insane amount of features that not everyone needs. There is a lot of meat there if you have skills in the area.

Making/saving money via DIY compute is an area ripe for improvement via better vertical integration.

The big cloud providers simply do not have this market cornered even with this mind share that prevents perfectly good engineers from seeing the path plain before them.
It's not that the types need to be built-in, but that the compiler needs to know that a type supports an interface, and the library needs to take advantage appropriately.

For this particular case, key-based containers need to know if their key is a homogeneous sequence. But that's actually slightly too restrictive - in particular, a fixed-size prefix of a different type isn't actually any harder to optimize for, assuming the introspection API is good enough.

But for other things ... even "just give me the list of fields that this class has" involves containers. Implementing compare/hash efficiently (with short-circuiting!) requires peeking inside the heterogeneous tuple. Writing a partial JSON-like object literal? That's a container, and one with very common uses. Making a copy of an object with certain fields replaced? A container. Functions that take keyword arguments? A container which you would really like to propagate sanely. But most compilers that deal with such things don't actually support the usual container APIs, often even lacking simple concatenation (speaking of which - what about compile-time duplicate key detection?).
