The arguments in the article seem to basically boil down to 'I stopped using Spotify because I didn't like how I was using it' and 'I stopped using Spotify because I assign value to music outside of listening to it'. In both cases I don't think Spotify is really the issue.
This is all great except it’s all in memory. To really fail safe you need to account for crashes and therefore need a persistent queue
I know little about the development culture of hyprland. Can you give more details about that and why being bleeding-edge makes packaging difficult? You mean packaging for distros or just the act of releasing new versions is hard because of deps breakage?
Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?
I've been facing this issue for quite a while and haven't come across a solution that meets my needs.

I have many files and digital content scattered everywhere. Some files and texts in my email accounts (personal and work). Some in Storage services such as Dropbox, GDrive, ... and some in messaging apps. There is also the photo gallery on my phone.
These are photos, videos, text, pdfs, ... . The challenge comes in when I'm trying to find a specific file or info. I often find myself asking questions like:

- Where's the photo of me wearing a cap?

- Where are all my invoices from before 2023?

- Did my friend ever text me his phone number somewhere?

- ...

I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations for tools or methods you've used that worked for you.
Do leave a comment if you even care.
Physicists like to call it heat equation. I like to call it energy preserving Gaussian blur. I mean, it's more fundamental than just physics. To me, it seems a core mathematical function. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects/HeatMethod/
You cannot compete in society where alternative medicine is punished and you don't even have a freedom of choice to pick treatment because you are forced to give your money (taxes in EU) to companies that you wouldn't pay otherwise.

I'm not against western medicine, I'm just missing more focus on causes of illnes and explanations, not just solving consequences.
If somebody assigned you to design a map that's extremely difficult to interpret, you probably wouldn't be clever enough to come up with this.

a^2 = 1, first base vector is a regular one
b^2 = -1, second base vector is "imaginary"
ab = 0, base vectors are orthogonal

(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = 1 + 2\*0 + (-1) = 0

Trick is taken from conformal geometric algebra [1].

They are supposed to be human curated, yes. The quality of the mixes definitely vary, but with a bit of time, it will be easy to separate the wheat from the chaff. Mixcloud also has a labeling system, so it will understand things like "melodic house", even having charts for it if it's popular enough.

Labels are also a good way to discover music, especially now, with the many specialized net-labels. If by any chance you like dark ambient too, Cryo Chamber on YouTube can be a good one. I find their mixes excellent as background music for reading, for example.
Kids Who Hacked the CIA [video]
haxe has been around for awhile, and was more popular prior to Unity 3D and 3rd party App store deployment viability.

Porting for cross-platform deployment is such a pain, that many people just don't bother anymore. Have a look at Steam titles, Unreal Engine and xbox developer programs. Some of these paths do streamlined content deployment well... And usually it is not going to cost you anything until you hit $1m revenue (UE has remained popular for good reasons).

Start small, fail quickly, and document a deployment pipeline that works for your use-cases. Also, study pre-baked lighting and texture techniques like a monk if you want high fps later. Most avoid particle cloud VFX, hair physics, and complex water surfaces. Complex physics like liquids are usually faked with baked procedural textures, lighting caustics, and or meshes from a liquid/fire/explosion sim or VDB.

I'm not suggesting I know what I'm talking about, but recommend having a look at what other people used on gamedev.tv . We are not affiliated with their group, but in my humble opinion the courses by Grant Abbitt have helped the Asset artists a great deal with basic low-poly design workflows. Blender is still terrible, but have a look at "Auto-Rig Pro" UE export tutorials (limb volumetric preservation with secondary deforms), "Draw Xray" and "Tesselator" for quadrilateral re-meshing. =)

Some Assets benefit from post-processing with free Windows programs like xNormal for baking, and Instant Meshes for auto field-aligned topo meshes.

Finally, avoid anything AI related until the global copyright laws reach a consensus opinion of ownership. i.e. it could end up poisoning your project with a submarine copyright violation.

Hope your team builds something awesome and fun, =)

There is a current argument that the tactic is absolutely necessary because the Russian structure absolutely relies on every level from the bottom to the top to be able to reasonably lie about how things are going. If you do nothing, they obviously win; if you do too much, you actually can lose because it is no longer possible for the lies to work properly to prevent more drastic moves. If you do what seems to be happening right now, the lies keep the machine turning at its current pace and they will drive themselves right off the cliff in no time. It was done economically to the USSR and the same thing appears to be happening right now more directly, militarily. It will seem to be this unstoppable force until the last moment, when it all just spectacularly falls apart in one way or another.
I guess the this user meant "how many level of depth". is there a limit to how tiny those bubble can get or not.
I am pleased to see another "small"-is-beautifull alternative of a critical network protocol, and in plain in simple C (I am sorry for the fan boys of absurdely complex computer languages...).

There will be plenty of compiler generated holes, and other security issues, but keep your head above the water and fix all of them, you are going for the long run there.

We also have drop-bear, which is in between openssh and tinycc if I recall properly.

I have to admit... I may deploy tinyssh for my everyday work (I rarely code directly on my workstation, usually I am "away" and do ssh to it via 4g internet IPv6/ssh).

I second this, including the condom comparison.

Sound of the sound effects are a little off, though that might be solved with a little more variety of sounds.

It also felt a little laggy from pressing a bubble to the popping sound. This meant that I couldn’t pop lots of them and very quickly.

On the whole, it’s a nice idea. The only problem is that infinite bubblewrap is a concept as old as the web so it will take a bit of extra polish to stand out from the crowd.

> Fewer IT staff for systems mgt

This hasn't been my experience. Replace sysadmin with cloud engineer/architect, salary bump, no reduction in quantity. This assumes you are mildly competent as an organization.

On managed services, say the database. My experience is that the extra costs of the service are larger (usually much much larger) than any salaries or head count reduction. I'd rather employ more people than not, and actually control my data, given the choice. Particularly when the savings are questionable or false.

I generally prefer a lower dependency count. Code and vendor. Even at modest immediate cost increases, you gain better flexibility and there are less things to bite you.

> Reduced costs in off peak hours with on-demand instances.

Agreed. You do increase system complexity to accomplish it. But there are actual cost savings here.

> Right sizing resources to application needs.

This isn't unique to cloud, you can do this in any hypervisor. This is a basic feature.

> There are wins that one can have, but nothing is guaranteed

It does not "always" hold. This is critical missing nuance in the original claim.

Why would we be worried at all?

One year after ChatGPT became a thing, VC money are still being used for the supposed revolution that so far has not materialized. And I am not saying one year is a long enough time to judge, no; I am saying that the financial incentives are severely tilted against making "AI" itself productive. The VC-backed AI startups have to expand, grow, hype up their product, and not worry about accuracy and reproducibility very much.

They are sabotaging their own area. The incentives are extremely wrong. I and 99.9999% of all programmers everywhere don't have to lift a finger; the area itself will self-destruct after a while.

And as other posters pointed out -- if an "AI" can displace all programmers out of jobs, I rather worry about that when it happens (I have my doubts whether it will happen in this century but that's a separate topic).

Our current society's / civilization's incentives are severely fucked as well. What even is "value" these days? We need to get permits to interact with nature, whereas being able to destroy said nature is rewarded with money.

Worrying about losing one's job is of course rooted in common sense but that's only in the general sense; worrying about the nebulous "AI" that is always juuuuust around the corner is rooted in fantasies. Just one example: for all the money invested in "AI", nobody has figured out to plug CI/CD or just general verifier scripts so the LLM can self-improve on whether it spits out the right code when prompted (and I am not saying you can capture _all_ human prompts of course; I am saying that a good chunk of the smaller algorithms can be detected and tested before the LLM gives you your output -- and even that is not being done).

Food for thought.
I’ll have to add this to my long list of technical problems when people request a teleporting super power.

Some related problems are the planet’s location in orbit / the solar system’s location relative to the entire universe and how landscape changes over time (trees/towns/mountains/rivers appearing and disappearing).

On another related note, it’s worth noting that the ability to pause time is a universe-ending super weapon. Even if it worked like you intended, you wouldn’t be able to use any senses or breathe without moving.

Similarly, super speed would cause every human movement to have deadly force. You would go insane from the relatively slow action of everything operating at standard speed. TV might be hours per frame instead of frames per second, with incomprehensible audio to match.
They had a pre-colombian pictographic writing system with some phonetic elements that they wrote on animal hides. Priests did most of the writing and there was quite a lot recorded by them before it was mostly destroyed after contact with Europe.
If you scroll to Australia you can see the data coverage is largely occassional driving about on a few roads.

It's interesting they don't include, as a baseline reference, the near complete Australian coverage by 256 channel radiometric data (available for free download): https://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/disciplines/geophysi...

Such datasets are relatively common across the globe and none that I'm aware of appear to be included.

Their devices appear to be all total count gieger types which don't seperate out energy bands or have much accuracy - ie. "good enough" for coarse results, not that great for identifying radon Vs ??? as a source.

All of the music services give you access to music in album form.

I think one way to reduce the "city premium" is to make remote work easier. For example, develop a wall panel that acts as a "window", through which your room could become a part of a larger virtual office. Then you'd be able to talk with people, make eye contact and so on. But it would also reduce the "rich country premium", as offshore work would become easier as well. It might be a good thing overall, but it'll hurt the careers of many.

That's if AI doesn't get all the jobs first though, which seems increasingly likely. But that's another question.

There's a very simple solution to this problem my dude...
A version of this was set to me in a university interview.

There is an easier and far more elegant way to solve this than the solution given. Consider the circuit as two superimposed elements; one with a current being injected at the first point and flowing outward to a sink at infinity, and the second with current flowing in from a source at infinity and exiting at the second point. (For the sake of argument, say the current is 1 amp).

The current flow patterns in each case are easy to calculate because of the symmetry of each problem.

Now add the two superimposed elements together, and the sources and sinks at infinity cancel out, leaving only the point source and sink.

You now know the current through the overall circuit and the currents through each resistor, and because you know the values of the resistors, you also know the voltages across each resistor. Add up the voltages along any simple path between the two points to get the voltage between the points, and since you also know the overall current, you can now calculate the equivalent resistance.
Hi Kalium, I've rarely heard anything more condescending and arrogant to be honest.
Color Laser. Rumor is that HP-M254DW is great b/c it's before a lot of E15N has taken place (enshittification... we should numberize it!). I got mine used off Craiglist nearing 10 years ago and it's been a pretty serious workhorse, along with pretty decent "trash" picture output.

I say trash b/c home printed photos on regular paper are never going to compete with your local CVS/Walgreens prints (which I do batches about 2-3 times per year, putting them in letters / christmas cards).

...but if I'm willing to wait for really good prints, I've had a great experience with "PersnickityPrints" who I tried after a local pharmacy print shop gave me an envelope of my wedding prints where some of the fancy B&W ones showed ~2mm chromatic aberration (hence: all the photos were misaligned / mis-calibrated).

Persnickity basically says: "you take the photo, we print the photo!" ...no auto-redeye reduction, no trying to make the colors pop, and they calibrate their machines at least once per day as opposed to once a month or whatever the generic pharmacy places do.

1) Color Laser for "tossable" printouts. 2) Walgreens + Mobile App for "5 copies to send in letters" (pick up in ~1hr, ~$0.20 per print, often less). 3) Persnickity for 8x10's, custom paper, cards, or if I'm planning ahead. (~$0.40/print, modulo shipping, etc).
Breakouts at a conference mostly don't matter unless it's something you're especially interested in or know the speaker. At FOSDEM they're recorded anyway--not that you'll get around to watching the recordings.
Something the communists never understood is that capital is only powerful in the presence of scarcity. Once there is an excess of capital, the capitalist loses his power, but due to overproduction, it is now possible to hire less than 100% of the population. You get a double crisis with both excess capital being dismantled and mass unemployment.

The sphere of production and circulation are impacted simultaneously. So you have an excess of resources and labor, but also not enough money to buy it, because access to resources is gated behind money and money is earned in correlation to productivity.

In its essence, you need to be productive in an economy which no longer needs further production, simply for the sake of obeying the "productivity <=> money" rule.

If this wasn't clear maybe this example is more illustrative: house prices go up by 50%. You need to work 50% longer, but this doesn't mean the economy will actually consume 50% more just because you need the money for the house.

In the scarcity regime you don't have to think about this at all, there is enough of a backlog to just work through it.

Now, if you were to object that poor people still have unmet needs, then the answer is that rising wealth inequality is allocating money to people with a lower propensity to consume. That by the way is where positive capital returns eventually end up, simply because exponential growth outpaces the human brain at some point.

My work on AGS, so far, has been mostly focused on adding support for additional features that weren't available before. I implemented the possibility to write your own PolKit agent in AGS and have just recently gotten secure session locking via the ext-session-lock-v1 Wayland protocol working. I still need to clean up the code and send PRs upstream, though.

That said, my config is available on GitHub [0]. If you want to see much more complete setups, you should check out the configurations by Aylur (creator of AGS) [1], kotontrion [2], or end_4 [3]. I'm sure there are lots more that are notable, but these immediately came to mind.

Kind of sounds like Verilog. Not that Verilog would be suitable for anything but RTL simulation/implementation and analog circuit models.
Sure, pointers are nullable types, but they also are necessary for mutability, so you're forced to use them for non-nullable things too.

You'll notice the go stdlib uses pointers for things which absolutely should not be nullable types, like '(*big.Int).Add(*big.Int, *big.Int)', or 'time.NewTimer() *time.Timer'.

'time.NewTimer' will never return a nil. 'big.Int.Add(x, y)' requires all of those things to be non-nil.

However, those are all pointers for unrelated reasons, like mutability, and so clearly pointers are not _just_ "nullable types".

...took what out of macOS? It definitely still does "smart charging", keeping it at 80% until just before when it has learned you are likely to unplug it.

If you have a highly irregular schedule, then sure, this may not be helpful. But I find that my and my wife's Apple Silicon laptops are usually kept at 80% unless we explicitly tell them to "charge to full now".
Emphasis on good radio, because a lot will just play what is most popular (creating a self-reinforcing loop) or what they're paid to play / promote.
I'm torn: the pricing is very good for a service that is meant - in spirit - to last a lifetime. but it also seems unrealisticaly cheap. a subscription seems more sustainable.
I could be wrong but I don’t think OTP natively implements a load shedding strategy or concurrency controls or request hedging. You would implement a supervisor to do so if you don’t want to overload an external system like a DB or microservice (e.g https://github.com/fishcakez/sbroker).
That’s kind of misanthropic, talking in absolute terms. I could agree in terms of low possibilities but certainly not absolutes. I feel it does a disservice to the few who actually come up with genius solutions to problems humanity faces and the many who dedicate their lives to solving them too.
Some do, but get corrective surgery as babies.
Sure it's still happening. Seems to be less common. That's a good thing.
Bubbling up errors is not handing them.

Making bubbling up even easier because people find this too verbose is the original mistake:

if err != nil {
return err
}

I find it verbose too. But if the alternative is to design something that allows you to ignore it 99%, and then put a huge syntactic penalty into doing anything other than bubbling up, then people will just bubble up 99.95% of the time, and complain about the other 0.05.

I'm all for ensuring errors are not silently ignored. That's Go's mistake. Exceptions are not the answer.
What I said was "to first order nobody writes any CUDA". Using "to first order" in that way is probably an abuse of terminology, but my intent was to say the majority of people using GPUs do not write CUDA, not that literally nobody does (which would be absurd).
