Yep. This app uses 230mb of RAM on my machine compared to Spotify that uses 208mb. But it's definitely more performant than my hideously slow Electron Spotify client. I'm really done with Electron. I hope this shaming of Electron apps continue because I can't stand this degradation of software. The only Electron app of recent that had good performance is Notion Calendar (used to be Cron). Although, Notion itself is painfully slow. This is why I'm building a Notion alternative in Qt C++ and QML[1].

I am surprised with the absence of Cerebrus style x64 or ARM or NVDA GPU chips on the leading nodes.
I think I disagree but we might be in agreement based on your thoughts… internal servers that are in the path of data pipelines that customers need are also production. For example, let’s say you have a warehouse and there is some way to manage inventory in there. No customer goes into Microsoft dynamics themselves. However, this Microsoft dynamics is production because our customers rely on the data this provides.

It doesn’t matter to customers if Microsoft teams is down and we are talking to each other internally using iMessage and signal but anything that is in the data path is production.
Oh, I know. This is the same Capita pensions who recently suffered a data breach.

It is that, most likely by design. The harder to access a relatively expensive human, the better the bottom line.
It is not really awful. It is just way over hyped, over promised and under delivered. WebP was better than standard JPEG. But JPEG also improved via many other encoders such as MozJPEG. And it wasn't obvious what the advantage were, or it was so little it really shouldn't be included as a standard feature. Mozilla made their case back then with many testing and data point.

> By reading the rest of my comment.

I did. You made a silly assumption that all artists put their music up on bandcamp. No one even knows what bandcamp is my area.
yes, I think so. And youtube is mixed quality, especially for older uploads.

Newer youtubes are "opus (251)", which I think is 128kbps 48KHz Opus (WebM standard).

- Spotify at least used to be ogg vorbis and claims to be "320kbit/s [mp3] equivalent"

I think the 128kps Opus is still considered quite lossy¹ and 320kpbit/s mp3s I know I can hear the difference to wav on some tracks in a blind test, but generally don't find them better or worse.

I don't think the solution is quite as simple as choosing to normalise selling elsewhere.
The shipping is huge.

Probably an esp32 on both ends. And an eink screen.

The tricky part is passing the networking and auth credentials from the server to the client. But you can marry them during manufacturing.
I think maybe because it seems paradoxical that someone would work on an open source project, giving away their time for free for the good of society, and yet be selfish to the point of being a murderer.

As an open source developer myself, I don't understand how it's possible. Why would you give away your labor for free if you don't feel empathy towards others?

My general level of empathy for people I don't know has declined significantly over the past decade and my open source contributions have also declined in line with that. I just don't see the point anymore.

I met some very good people through open source but, overall, the experience has taught me that most people on earth range from neutral to horrible.

Open source probably represents the best kind of environment to meet the best of humanity. The smartest of the good people... But it's still disappointing.

Disclaimer: I use Firefox on iOS, macOS, Linux, and OpenBSD.

> Those new iOS Firefox users would then be encouraged to adopt Firefox on their desktop computers, because they would finally be able to sync desktop Firefox with an adblock-enabled Firefox on iOS.

That's not true. People don't care about adblock-enabled Firefox on iOS, because they don't care about Firefox whatsoever. And they don't care about Firefox whatsoever because Mozilla doesn't care - they seem to be focused on just about anything (mostly CEO bonuses), except actually improving the browser to be a competitive product.

I use Firefox as my daily driver, and believe me - the temptation to just switch to Chrome is there, every day. Chrome is not only a better browser, the incompatibilities and annoyances (resulting from its de-facto monopoly) are enough to drive people away from Firefox.

The only reason why Firefox still exists, is because Google keeps paying Mozilla money to be their default search engine - and it remains in Google's best interest, it's their insurance card in a possible antitrust case.

> Of course it's in Mozilla's interest to challenge Safari's Apple-imposed monopoly on iOS.

Of course it is in their interest - because they are Google's sock-puppet.

Personally, I do hope that Apple's rules for iOS web engines get challenged - but only as a followup to an antitrust case vs Google, ideally with an outcome of separating the browser from the adtech company.

My experience with warranty at Amazon was nothing but great every single time. Okay, I am from Germany with quite strong consumer protection.

But still. Shopping at Amazon is so damn riskless, why would I buy at a small shop I don't know anything about? I got burned, family got burned - I just became very, very selective with buying elsewhere.

The risk is too damn high.

> Three read ports are justified in FP code as multiply-add is the fundamental and by far most popular instruction in FP code

The issue with FMADD is that it requires 4 registers which takes up way too much encoding space. It could've been specified in the usual 3 register format as Fd ← Fd + (Fs1 * Fs2) , which is how the instruction is typically implemented in DSPs. If you really need a separate Fs3 register, that's just a two-insn sequence Fd ← Fs3; Fd ← Fd + (Fs1 * Fs2) which ought to be highly amenable to insn fusion. I do wonder why it wasn't done that way originally, and why the choice was made to use so much space with a new R4 format. (Mind you, this could be fixed by standardizing the new form, adding a new Z-subset of the F extension without the FMADD encoding blocks, and soft-deprecating the original F. But still.)
YouTube Music pays less than Spotify per stream, if you're boycotting Spotify for that reason I think it's good to be aware of it.
Bandcamp is available in more markets than Spotify. Not sure how that's relevant to my argument, though.
> "Well-maintained and honest" is not the same as "secure".

Sure, but it is a vital pre-requisite. Unfortunately many things that are taken for granted as "secure" and are well used are neither well-maintained (not the same thing as actively maintained) nor honnest, especially in js and python world.
My guess would be this is an overzealous AI-generated content detector. Amazon has been flooded with low quality AI generated books in the past ~year, and has been removing a lot of it. My guess would be they're still tweaking their algorithms as folks generating books change their tactics. Hopefully a human will respond soon!
> a lifetime of spotify listening will make less money for an artist you like than buying a single album from them on Bandcamp.

This is false. And I mean, dramatically.

> Even if you only listen to one artist, 8 hours per day, 365 days a year, they will earn a whopping... 100 bucks from Spotify.

It's roughly 200$.

Number of songs per hour: 60 minutes / 3 minutes per song = 20 songs

Total listening hours per year: 8 hours/day * 365 days = 2,920 hours

Total streams per year: 20 songs/hour * 2,920 hours = 58,400 streams

Total earnings: 58,400 streams * $0.004 (average pay rate) = $233.60

How high do you think that number should be, to be non-"whopping"?

I am seriously confused about what or who anti-streamers think they are zealoting for, what alternative fantasy they are defending.

As someone who has worked in the music industry (i.e. the people actually making a living through music) I witnessed Spotify/YT and the likes as an absolute force of creation of a new class of musicians, that would never have existed before.
> attended many live shows, bought merchandise, etc.

I don't understand what does attending live shows have to do with how you listen to their music. Ppl who do listen on spotify also do that.

But the main selling point of this app, i.e. the actual submission, is to get the music for free and no ads. The target market of it is not going to be paying a cent, because the entire reason the app exists and was submitted is to avoid paying much smaller amounts for music than what you're paying.

> Even if this read and write are not atomic, the system still works

This statement is not really true for modern computers, especially ARM and other architectures which are more sensitive to memory orderings than x86 CPUs.

The reason is the lack of memory barriers.

The CPU and the compiler are free to reorder loads and stores. Memory barriers are inserted in between to enforce specific ordering.

You need an acquire memory barrier after acquiring a lock to make sure that any loads and stores inside the critical section do not get reordered to before the lock was grabbed.

So while the algorithm may work for acquiring a critical section without atomics, it does not enforce that the stuff inside the critical section stays inside the critical section within the same thread.

In fact most normal loads and stores in ARM are "atomic" but to achieve consistency in concurrent programming they are followed or preceded by an appropriate memory barrier instruction e.g. in std::atomic_load or _store.
Sounds like The Netherlands, no? At the very least, the same system is used in The Netherlands to this day.

Meh, it's common to want to navigate to the root of a domain to find more information if you've been linked to a subpage that may lack some useful context. You can of course edit the URL by hand, but that's less convenient. Intra-site navigation links have a purpose.

(Perhaps on another timeline browsers would have had an "up" button in addition to "back" and "forward" like filesystem browsers do, but that did not happen. Even <link rel> doesn't have an "up" option, though it does have "prev" and "next" – not that anyone uses <link> for anything but rel="stylesheet" and maybe rel="alternate". EDIT – rel="up" used to exist but was dropped from HTML5 with no reason given. I presume it's nevertheless supported by browsers and eg. screenreaders.)

Dumping Firmware for fun and learning [pdf]
Just shows how generally unfathomable weird it is that most of the world does not have a uuid for a person assigned at birth - like the nordics do
In my experience: first 2 or 3 months you can send it back np. After 2 years they say your warranty is forfeit. Which isn't true if you can reasonably expect the product to last longer (if it is an expensive one). In my case the battery was damaged due to bogus firmware update and they refused to deal with it, citing warranty with seller is exhausted (untrue). They said I should go to the manufacturer instead. I got "lucky" there: they couldn't repair it and replacement would take 3 months so they proposed sending me a newer revision for an extra price of a little bit over 100 EUR. Result is I will actively buy the product elsewhere if it is an expensive one.
Live shows are generally the largest source of revenue for musicians.
That would be my guess too. A few months back they announced a ML model to clean up the reviews, but I'd argue that it is a lost battle; there is so much human-made and now AI-made garbage already. A solution might be a full deletion and then a real identity verification for reviewers.
As a mathematician I like the positional notation, but once we assign meaning to the slots it gets weird, so I had the same objection.

One could add some new notation to distinguish the element _T_ from the slot _T_. For example let’s write slots as _[T]_ (I’m not creative enough to come up with something good), then we can talk about ∂_[T]F or ∂F/∂[T].

One can think of the [.] operator as mapping from “semantic symbol” to slot number in a way.
It’s more likely than you might think overall, though I’ve seen more of it from the other side of the aisle.
My objective was to show that it's quite complicated for dubious gain. What do you think the average would be?
I’d argue that if you want people to be environmentally friendly, you need to abstract all data, dashboards , etc,

Shoppers queue for more than 2 hours as they flock to Shenzhen's Costco
I listed four other concrete options and closed with “or whatever other direct support method they have set up” — I assure you that every artist that wants to make money will have set up _something_ besides Spotify since it’s practically impossible to make money through them.
Maybe your installation is different, but usually the electricity meter uses normal GPRS to talk to the electricity company. They literally have SIM cards inside.

The low energy 'HAN' stuff is used for the gas meter, so it can run for 10 years on a battery, allowing it to be installed without installing wired power. The electricity meter has plenty of electricity available, so it acts as a bridge. The portable screen thingy also uses the 'HAN'.

However, it's pretty clear the policy intent isn't only to let people monitor their usage. If that was all that was needed, there are much cheaper options designed for consumer self-install. Why did they go for the much more expensive and inconvenient smart meter+gprs option, if not to enable time-of-use tariffs?
You and I did the same back-of-the-napkin math and arrived at slightly different numbers; I used a 5 minute average song duration and $0.003 average payout. See my other comments for elaboration on why the Bandcamp model is ultimately better for the artist.

I don't deny that Spotify has improved the situation for many artists, but rather that it hasn't done enough and other approaches do it better, and I believe this is factually true.
>> One of the main reasons to use async in the first place is to distribute the work to all the cpu cores that you have

Errrr..... no it's not. Your statement is flat out wrong. async is single threaded.

You're not really understanding async.

async is single threaded. If you want to maximise your cores then run multiple instances of a single threaded process using systemd or something, or use your application to launch multiple async threads.

You can, in python and probably in Rust, run an executor, which essentially is running a synchronous process in a thread to make some bit of synchronous work compatible with async, but that's not really ideal and it's certainly not the purpose of async.
