I'm a self published artist. I had 150k streams on Spotify last year. I only earned roughly $450. There's no label or other middleman here taking a cut. Spotify is just cheap.
Even if this doesn't really impact the small artists, Spotify is not even profitable for shareholders yet AND still doesn't pay a meaningful amount to most artists. It is only going to get worse from here.

I do not believe that their business model will ever do anything but fuck over the artists. It's also deeply disturbing to me that there are only a few options left for people to actually own their music and the rest is rent-seeking platforms.
Ah yes, Europe the country

I wish the list included some generic labels, e.g. showing whether a tool is paid/freemium, open/proprietary, local/cloud.

Unless that's what they mean by dividing the list into "code completion tools" and "code completion LLMs"? In this case I'd adjust the naming to be more clear (I'm sure many of the tools in the first category are LLM based too)
I don’t disagree with you that nobody should have that happen to them and it’s horrible, but you’ve yet again disingenuously implied that Germany is some Nazi utopia where people are set alight on the street.

I really like Podcast Addict. Its price is like 10$ per year to hide a small ad on the bottom and to get a choice which screen is the first to show.
Well if methane is more of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, which it is, then it will
Or it would force small musicians to advertiwse more. Which is mutually beneficial to Spotify and the user.

The big question is, does the lack of sleep cause the increased levels of cringe scatteredness in the blog posts (and presumably elsewhere too), or do (temporary) high levels of cringe and disorganization in one's life cause a lack of sleep? Or, there could be some hidden variable driving both. Some stressor causing both lack of sleep and scattered thinking.

Personext: NextJS and Vercel is enough for your next personal website (DB-free)
The idea was being able to have a basic blog with static files (nextjs) only without any database. Here we come-up with a result. Of course this is just a basic start but in a couple of minutes you can publish your brand new personal website on Vercel and easily customize it. Even though it has its shortcomings, curious about your opinions about this version.
Mac OS, Win16, PalmOS all have shared heaps too. This is precisely why you need defragmentation (after an application quits, the heap is a fragmented mess, full of holes) and therefore some system so that the other applications keep "movable handles" to heap blocks instead of raw pointers (which would become invalid after the heap undergoes one round of defragmentatino).

If an OS does not do this you are basically indirectly setting a limit to its uptime, as eventually this global heap's fragmentation will prevent launching any new programs.

Having local heaps does not solve this, as you still have to allocate these local heaps from somewhere. Having an MMU will allow you to do transparent defragmentation without handles as raw pointers (virtual addresses) become your handles. Having an MMU with fixed page size will allow you to outright avoid the need for defragmentation.
It's weird anyway. I know gay people that never do anal. That seems a weird "proof" despite it being completely out of line to expect that anyway.
Just cancel your Spotify subscription. I did, and now use a combination of Roon and Tidal.

Depends on how much time you've spent in a terminal over the last two decades. Do you do software development in a terminal or an IDE ?

If you develop in an IDE you don't "live" in a terminal and most likely it will not matter what terminal program you use and you won't notice latency.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Also, even though my partner has a Dutch tax ID, we still can't file together ourselves, on account of her not having a Dutch ID, and therefore not being able to setup DigiD 'correctly'. We can have a tax consultant do it for us however!

Highly optimized for the happy path, which of course does cover 99% of cases, but you better not be in the 1% :) That's what I liked about France: nobody expects you to be normal, so everybody is used to working around systems.

> The trend is to have less and less control over the devices you own.

Markets are two-sided. Stop patronizing companies that abuse you. If you can't find a viable alternative, instead cause problems for them on purpose. Contact support and waste their time hearing your complaints. Buy the device from the retailer where they get the highest margins so you can leave a bad review, then return it and buy a used one instead. Figure out how to root it and publish your work.

Don't be afraid to behave adversarially towards your adversary.

> There are no open source TVs.

There are still dumb TVs that don't connect to the internet. These often cost more, because the adversarial advertising subsidizes the price of the "smart" TVs. But the "smart" TVs still have an HDMI port that you can plug whatever you want into, so the typical move is to buy the smart TV and then use an external device to display video and never connect the TV to the internet.

> As soon as any consumer device gets an internet connection, it starts working against its users

So don't give it an internet connection, and if it doesn't operate in that condition then return it. Don't be a doormat.
The total amount doesn't change, but I think it would be fairer.
Put a dollar value on the free accounts then? You could even base it off the amount of ads played per account. This is such an easy problem to solve. The pooling of streams is the main main incentive problem, like parent says.

I think that's vastly overstating how bad it is. Maybe it's different if you are a German citizen. Just as an example, I never did anything other than signing the contract to get a job. I filled in a single form for each of my two kids when they were born. We got the forms in the hospital and just left them there. Similarly for registering a car -- there was a single simple form.
>If you just look at plant morphology and animal anatomy then evolution is kind of obvious.

Before evolution this was the "great chain of being" ontology which tried to explain the continuous gradation of structures in the world. Ideas like "missing link" appear within this worldview before Darwin's theory[1]. It's mostly accurate to say evolutionary theory is the great chain of being worldview with an added temporal dimension.

It is _meaning_ that bounds certain Vim commands to certain keys, not the position of the keys on your keyboard. Moving the keys around doesn't change their meaning—"w" is still "w", for "word"—so making all those mappings is utterly pointless.

I don't think you know how the music industry works
If everything was great why people brought down the system? Is it maybe because everything worked thanks to having customer(the USSR) for ideological reasons and not because it was actually competitive or good? Maybe this was the reason why the factories and everything shut down when USSR was gone?

IMHO the ideological markets are very dangerous, gives you the wrong feedback on your output and makes you completely reliant.

USSR pumps oil, digs minerals and uses the income from that to purchase stuff from Bulgaria not because Bulgaria is the best(it might have been the best or very good at one point) but because politics. Then Bulgaria doesn't have proper feedback and instead of investing to advance its computer business keeps doing the same when the west with their real markets leaps ahead. Then one day the only customer who bought Bulgarian stuff for ideological reasons is gone and Bulgaria finds out that they don't have any customers anymore because they didn't invest in advancing their tech because they didn't need to.

Unfortunately, the west today has a similar problem of ideology based markets but its nowhere nearly as bad as the situation in Communist Bulgaria.

One argument might be, if the system worked why wouldn't keep doing it? Because its again very dangerous. If the USSR survived and Bulgaria was kept being the tech powerhouse of USSR with a few nodes behind the state of the art, Bulgaria might have been compelled to send the troops for the invasions USSR might have started because that's how empires work(Bulgarian economy collapsing the moment Russia decides not buying from Bulgaria since it disobeys). Notice that the Russian soldiers in Ukraine come from far eastern regions of the Russian federation, that would have been the fate of Bulgaria today.

Yes, but it would generate less than the current system. Today you can generate more revenue for your friend than your account costs, ie a pure financial arbitrage opportunity. This has been successfully exploited already, and I assume they anti-abuse systems in place today.
> Austerity ideology dictates that there simply must be inefficiency in public services, and cuts are the cure to this disease

Over time I developed a more cynical theory. As politicians have extremely short-term understandings and targets, they abuse the latent momentum of public services to surf on the inherent delayed response before service quality goes down and gets noticed. By then, they can blame the cause on something else, and move on to the next cost-cutting measure.

Even if there is an outcry, they can gaslight citizens into believing either that a) it was not better before or b) the changes are an imperious necessity that cannot be reversed.

Either way, the personnel and knowledge has been lost, so the service (and the quality-of-life that came with it) are lost forever.

As a part-time indie artist, one can do a lot with $50 you get on the side from streams.

Also, what is Spotify going to do with these 50$? What if it happens twice, 100$... do they pay you back eventually? Perpetually free access to all their premium services?

Snoop's number was $0.045 per thousand plays.

ansc's number was $4 per thousand plays.

Your number is $3 per thousand plays.

It sounds like you basically agree with ansc. While Spotify might be cheap, that cheapness is not the problem Snoop is having.
The difference between Chrome and Chromium is that Chrome is marginally worse but largely identical. People mostly install Chrome instead of Chromium by accident because Google markets Chrome and they don't know that Chromium exists and the differences are things they don't strongly care about.

But if Chrome ever started doing something they don't like and actually care about, anyone could instantly switch to Chromium and the only difference they'd notice is that it's not doing the thing they don't like anymore.
While I haven't given it a deep look, a free trial without CC details would have been nice! Regardless, building such a rich (Notion style) text editor isn't trivial. So, cheers to that.
Spotify allows people to self publish.

Not to mention people can set up labels themselves, it's just a company like any other.

I'm sure we don't want big labels being gatekeepers. They have their own set of problems, and make streaming even more difficult for everyone but very large artists/groups (and sometimes even for those, as they eat a big chunk of royalties).

>I don’t know much about how music licensing works. But would this cause smaller musicians to decide to pull their stuff off Spotify?

A lot of smaller artists don't have a say regarding licensing and distribution. They're usually managed by a local minor label, which in turn has specific agreements with bigger players (Columbia, UMG) once your music sells more than, let's say 50.000 copies and they need a partner to publish a release on more territories. A few artists also get their own label.

For example, Peggy Gou tracks are usually released trough Dudu Records (Her own label) -> Ninja Tune -> XL Recordings, which is basically the same label that nowadays publishes Adele and Radiohead. Adele went even a step further, and her music is handled by Columbia Records for the US market.

Until you reach this level of clout, you have very little direct control over your syncs and streaming rights in the "regular", Billboard-tracked, market.
If the 16ms latency at 60hz bothers you.

Then get a 120hz display which has 8ms latency.

Or there's 240hz 4k displays with 4ms

If that's not enough then there's 1080p esport monitors with 540hz so 1.85ms.

Absolutely. I always buy music from artists to support them on Bandcamp. Spotify lets you discover bands that are little known, which is cool, but it's not a place that enables you to support those artists. Unfortunately, Bandcamp might also change since they are changing owners.

I don't get the argument. I don't think something being magic will stop humans from exploiting it. At the end of the day intelligent people are great at coming up with excuses as to why they should do something bad. "Just chop that one tree down, its in the wrong place anyway" "Just kill that one dolphin, its old anyway" when taken together these add up to bad outcomes we dislike. Much better to discourage / fine / ban all tree chopping and dolphin killing and let select professionals remove sick trees and dolphins.

I think we both agree, you just went into more detail on it.

The executive level shouldn’t be able to defer all of the accountability to employees lower down the ladder (e.g blaming it on an intern or whatever usual CYA excuse is rolled out). It’s one thing for an employee to go rogue, but totally another thing for leadership to either brush it under the rug or to create the environment for such behaviour in the first place.
Oh how disappointing. You're making it about me. I don't matter. Nor

FWIW I think people are less comfortable expressing fear (which in our
culture we think sounds weak) than "hate", which seems more active on
face value. There are a few things we can fear and love, like
roller-coaster rides, tigers or beautiful poisonous flowers. But
usually fear and hate cluster together more strongly as emotions.

I think the core reason people hate billionaires is they bypass
democracy and accountability. You have to be a bit crazy to make or
keep excessive money, so that makes them unpredictable and dangerous.
