While I am sure this is likely to push people towards YouTube premium subscriptions, I feel like Podcasts are unique in the way they are consumed that they need a dedicated app.

Otherwise we end up with either a bloated YouTube app or an even more confusing "Youtube Podcasts" app (then YouTube music, YouTube videos, and YouTube whatever google decides to abandon next).

Would be a good time for Apple to maybe advertise Apple Podcasts some more.

Edit: Also why isnt this migration just done for you? So your data is there if/when you decide to try youtube podcasts.
If that happens, that’s rather the fault of the company and the managers of not communicating the current affairs clearly enough. You shouldn’t need to rely on informal channels to find out what the company considers canceled.

Because nVidia supports X11 and other old APIs but not newer ones.

Wayland does not define AFAICT new APIs that a driver needs to support, but it does use the newer ones that nVidia never bothered to support.

that comparison should make you appreciate the unfathomable distances between even the most local astronomical objects, not underestimate it.

The distance between continents is hard enough for the human brain to comprehend, and imagine the difficulty in trying to caputure an image with a telephoto lens of some resolvable feature in japan, from europe or america (forgetting the shape of the Earth's surface for a moment).

Of course ever graceful, nature offers us a compromise. Most astronomical object (galaxies, nebula) are very big, and very very far away. It is not resolution that makes it difficult to see them (since they span an appreciable arc-width of our sky, e.g. search pictures of the angular width of andromeda galaxy or the orion nebula compared to the moon), but how faint they are.

The photons they emit are travelling across swathes of the observable universe. They travel across scales where the presence of galaxy clusters warp the geometry of space-time, a turbulant voyage for these light rays. They travel across distances where space itself inflates like a balloon, the expanding universe sapping energy from them until they arrive in our detectors or eyeballs redshifted beyond recognision. This is why observatories and satellite-telescopes need to place a huge emphasis on scaling up mirror size to scoop up all the photons they possibly can, as opposed to strictly focusing on resolution - as an earthbound photographer might naively expect.

Now consider the nature of planets, they are not diffuse clouds of molecules or dust lanes spanning galactic widths, they are tightly bound, tangible, physical objects. Now they might be our neighbours, trapped in the same spiral around the sun's gravitational well, but that doesn't mean they're "close" in any sense that the human mind could every really fathom. If we want to resolve atmospheric or geographic (is that even the right word for other planets?) features, we need to be able to achieve precise resolutions beyond what is normally required for other types of astronomical observation. Indeed, if you've every taken a class on optics or astronomy, you might be suprised how quickly fundamental limits of resolution that arise from lights wave-like behaviour - like airy disks - begin to veil that which we wish to observe, when playing around with frequiencies and aperture widths on a "humman" scale.
> The situation that the VCs and founders are in is often enviable, but isn't really relevant here.

Respectfully disagree. It's relevant to the extent the parent comment was talking about employees wanting to have someone else "hold the bag".

> Regular employees need to be financially responsible about accepting jobs with private-company equity comp, and not expect miracles.

Agree that it's their responsibility and no one should be starting a kickstarter for them or anything. But that doesn't mean you can't sympathize with them. They are often fairly young people who aren't experts on contract law. It's not unreasonable to say that at least some of them have been exploited with excessive promises. The industry would be a better place if rather than say "they should have known better", we instead said "employers shouldn't exploit people". A precedent of bad behavior shouldn't excuse it.
Yeah, that's a really good question,

I think the tiny value we could offer is

1. Help to do a chain of request(around 10 to 20) and transfer a short description to a long document. this could save a lot of hand work for the user, for example, the https://www.supadoc.ai/samples/Marketing%20Plan%20EN.docx was generated from the follow description

"This is a SAAS product for the System Engineer. The System Engineer will input some description. The product will use the latest AI technology to analysis the description. Then the product will generate one Requirement Document according to AI analysis data. The SAAS platform needs to be promoted now. A Marketing plan is required."

User can also benefit from the prebuild best practice document structure we build into the system.

2. We could help to generate good shape docx document with TOC, headers etc and also saves user some time.

But overall, We also think that the logic behind our product is not so solid, that's not a killer app and can only make user more productivity, instead of kill user's pain.

Thanks for the reply, we are also discussion the direction internally, do you have any insights which you may share with us?

Sincerely appreciate again :)

> I was complaining about the company enforced fake camaraderie that gets pushed down everyone's throats with trite team building exercises, company parties, team goals and other methods of hammering people into conformity.

This is nothing to do with what you said before, about not wanting team performance to be important. Unless you're there to do a very specific job, a lot of performance is actually about team performance. If nothing else, the bus factor on people who want to do things solo makes them an automatic liability.

I think it's also important to recognize that companies tend to accumulate people with very little respect for other people's time. Sometimes you need to Pavlov your coworker into writing things down to discuss at a later time, and that you're not mad at them, just busy.

Pomodoro technique also helped me shape my focus state into smaller, less efficient, but more predictable portions. By scheduling interruptions, I figured out it's a lot easier to handle breaking out and into flow stat when you're training that every 25 minutes.
The laster travelled over 30 million km to be received by a dish of 20m^2 in area [1].

I'll second this, I can hardly recommend any subscription more than Kagi.

Despite the numbers, I'm always surprised when someone still uses G search... it's drowned in ads and exploitative results. Kagi lets you modify the weights of individual sites or even block them, so you can filter out blogspam and clickbait sites instantly. Best of all, it even has a leaderboard for most-blocked and most-promoted domains so you can literally just go down the list of some of the worst sites and block them before you ever see them in a search result.
OK, I'm done.

Explicitly a magnet sheet does NOT ruin Beacon and is the preferred magnet type for sticking down build surfaces. The only problematic magnets are point magnets that are very strong, as the magnet field can penetrate the surface of the material being scanned and impact the readings (but only at that point).

It sounds like what you're describing is sheet magnet that is coated in PEI, but I highly highly doubt that is what you have. The magnet is attached to the frame, not the material that you print directly on.
kagi is great. It's overpriced, but if you are willing to pay the premium for unlmimited searches (you run out really quickly or aviod doing searches otherwise with the normal plan), it's really good

Plasmic.app: Visual editing and content platform for building websites and apps
As soon as you let users edit data, you can't really benefit from serializable transactions.

Partly because you don't really want arbitrary long transactions that span however long the user wants to be editing for.

Partly because it's rather rude to roll back all the users edits with a "deadlock detected, please reload the form and fill it out again".
Author here.

The goal in a way is better reproducibility. The memo hashes the contents of the inputs, so if your cell is deterministic (and you cover all the inputs), the memo should give you the right answers. Of course if you want to rerun everything you can always just delete the memos, but properly used it should be a strict performance improvement.

Of course there are many improvements that can be made (tracking if dependent functions have changed etc) and of course there are inherent limitations. This is very much “work in progress”. But is quite useful right now!
Put it in a container where you can explicitly limit CPU / memory usage?

I have tried to evangelize unit testing at each company I've worked at and most engineers struggle with two things.

The first is getting over the hurdle of trusting that a unit test is good enough, a lot of them only trust an end-to-end test which are usually very brittle.

The second reason is, I think, a lot of them don't know how to systematically breakdown test into pieces to validate e.g. I'll do a test for null, then a separate test for something else _assuming_ not null because I've already written a test for that.

The best way I've been able to get buy-in for unit testing is giving a crash course on a new structure that has a test suite per function under test. This allows for a much lower loc per test that's much easier to understand.

When they're ready I'll give tips on how to get the most of their tests with things like, boundary value analysis, better mocking, IoC for things like date time, etc.
It already shipped with native wayland support; the only "change" is that you no longer have to set an env var (MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1) to get native Wayland instead of XWayland. Maybe "defaults to native Wayland" is the "most" correct way of saying it, but that's a bit more editorial with respect to the article's actual title.
I've recently been having to drive a higher end Audi from maybe... 2008? And the physical button situation is a complete fucking mess and I hate it. While driving I was trying to find the way to turn off the AC entirely because I was fed up with it being too hard to control and it took me literally 15 seconds to find it (mostly due to also driving at the same time). The UI (if you can call it that) of physical buttons is complete garbage in most cars. My daily, when I'm home, is a Yaris with three huge physical knobs - temperature, fan speed, and vent choice. It's perfect, I get exactly what I want, I don't physically have to look at it at all, I don't have to deal with automatic climate control which sucks in every single car. I'm just venting and have no real point here I guess other than physical controls suck unless it's super basic and simple.

I was once hired as a contractor for a major bank in Toronto who were desperate to ship a product, which was way past its promised delivery date. The AVP got an idea to put all of us in a conference room huddled around a conference table , because obviously us lazy programmers were slacking off in our cubicles and the crappy almost daily changing requirements were not to blame. The entire team began falling sick one by one (pre covid era). This was also where I learnt the hard way that it is possible to get the flu twice in the same flu season. It was a hilarious mess. Curiously enough the AVP got promoted to VP the next year.

And the following year, the whole office switched to open office plan. I think the ability to micro manage people and the power trip for managers explains this logic.
I can second this. Although my queries per month are limited due to using free tier, they almost always get relevant results for technical questions. If Google keeps getting worse, I'll switch to Kagi's paid tier. The LLM demo they briefly made available a few months ago was also impressive.

Yeah, the risks mainly come with extension cords, like plugging a bunch of 10A appliances into a single 20A outlet via a 10A rated extension cord with multiple 10A outlets.

Appliances themselves with their own input fuses and captive cables are less risky, although some kind of internal wiring short could still get all melty.

It's true that sizing the plugs that way does prevent you from plugging a 20A appliance into a 10A extension cord, which makes sense.

Mixture of Experts model is likely the most significant.

What did you switch to? I tried Tidal, loved the noticeably higher-quality audio, but there were two dealbreakers for me - no crossfade playback (for running) and no downloads to the desktop app (for travelling). I could just about have dealt with no downloads on the desktop app, but they actually removed the crossfade playback a while ago because, according to an official reply on their support forums "it didn't add to the customer experience", which to me seems like such a blatant lie to cover for something else like they found it difficult to do for some technical reason.
I just switched back to Windows after 20 years on Linux and I regret it... I'll be switching back ASAP... everything just works better by default on Linux for what I do (I don't game much but Steam is pretty nice on Linux anyways).

Someone grumpily asked here what this has to do with tech, why it's here, etc. Their comment has been flagged but I think it's worth answering.

Biblical archaeology is a subject that relates to contemporary matters of public and popular interest mainly for how it relates to the myth-making done to support the foundation and maintenance of the modern nation-state of Israel.

Such archaeology, and particular narratives (e.g., about a united kingdom of Judea and Israel, specific chronologies of exile), have long played a role in justifying Israeli claims to contested land. This is true broadly, but especially relevant to the West Bank, which is of special historical significance for Jews. You'll often here that area referred to using biblical language, as 'Judea and Samaria'. For a variety of practical reasons, early Israeli settlers settled primarily elsewhere. The biblical significance of these areas is a frequent justification for further Israeli territorial expansion by radical, religious, Israeli Jewish settlers who settle illegally as a kind of act of religious fervor. The OP concerns another area of later and more controversial (than the founding) Israeli territorial expansion— the Golan Heights.

Such archaeology is also generally the basis for renaming Palestinian towns and villages, typically previously having had Arabic place names. In that way it renders ancient the very new towns built upon the ruins of those old ones, and erases what was there until quite recently.

OP is decidedly partisan in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as is clear from a glance at their post history, in which, for example, they describe Human Rights Watch as 'a Hamas mouthpiece'. (I'm emotionally invested in the issue too, which is why I have bothered to learn any of this stuff. I don't point that out to distinguish OP's bias from some purported neutrality on my own part.)

If you're curious about the role of biblical archaeology in Israeli nationalist ideology and political history generally, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand's work seems to me like a great place to start. But if you're looking for some short form material just to know that I'm not making this connection up, this piece from the Smithsonian Magazine seems good: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/shifting-ground-in-th...

The issue of toponym replacement and the use of biblical archaeology to generate Israeli place names is covered (somewhat agonizingly repetitively) in Israeli historian Nur Masalha's book Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History, if you're curious about that.

Obviously, authors/works I've mentioned here are likely to be controversial at best among Zionists, and maybe among Israelis as well. It would not be unusual for even recommending them to be smeared as anti-Semitic. Fwiw, I don't think they're entirely without problems myself (though I do not believe them to be anti-Semitic or otherwise racist). Read critically.

Anyway, for those curious about why an article like this has been posted here: it's a proxy for current events and the land disputes and national identities at the heart of them.

I tested this out and I'm not very impressed. It's a chatbot that has limited access to your source code (the file you have open I believe). The AI doesn't have a complete picture of your project and it would probably be too expensive to ingest thousands of lines of code. The code it generates is... what you come to expect from a coding assistant. It's hit and miss, and it needs heavy refactoring. It feels like this doesn't add too much value to the already existing tooling and Jetbrains should have waited for something better. The current way of prominently pushing it strait to production seems rather unfortunate. I've disabled the plugin.
Most software doesn't work the moment you stray from the expected path.

Whether that's because most software isn't tested competently or because software testing practices don't deliver robust software is not yet clear.

I suspect that unit tests, and tests in general, will be considered a historical artifact from the time before we worked out how to write software properly.

For example, we don't generally unit test things that a static type system checks for us. Maybe good enough type systems will remove the rest of them.

I agree! I see a lot of stuff like "static typing is better than tests", "tests don't prove your code is bug free" etc as if tests somehow have to be a silver bullet to justify their existence.

I definitely think its ok for the overall standard of test code to be lower than production code though (I guess horrible unmaintanable tests is maybe a bit much). A few reasons I can think of off the top of my head:

- You can easily delete and rewrite individual tests without any risk

- You don't ship your tests, bugs and errors in tests suites have a way smaller chance of causing downstream issues for customers (not the same as no chance but definitely a lot smaller)

- I'd rather have a messy, hard to understand test than no test at all in most cases. That isn't true of production code at all, there are features that if they can't be produced in a coherent way with the rest of the codebase just don't have the value add to justify the maintenance burden.

> There are plenty of ways to track productivity that don't involve a manager being able to stare at everyone working like a sweatshop foreman.

I have called those kind of managers "glorified taskmasters" in the past, but "sweatshop foreman" is a good enough phrase make me want to add it to my repertoire!

It's insulting to me to treat knowledge workers as cogs in a machine or workers in a factory. Humans are not made to be crammed with other humans in tiny, noisy and poorly ventilated and lit spaces with no natural light.

We are told to "suck it up" but we are not paid the bills when panic attacks, burnout and other health problems start showing up.

As a person who has fought management tooth and nail to give myself and my teams the ability to work remotely and a have a 4 day work week while paid the same as before, I can tell you, it's infinitely better to have time and space, and your productivity, creativity and communication doesn't suffer at all (we measured it, and many others have done as well).
