Why don't people just pay the $10/month if you consume enough for ads to annoy you?

I really don't get the extreme amount of effort people put into adblocking for services that have a paid alternative. People have this expectation of all these internet services being free which is wild to me. It costs an enormous amount of bandwidth to run Twitch.

It is still not profitable because it's such a hard business model to run and yet people think they shouldn't have to pay anything for it, even when they use the service for dozens to hundreds of hours a month.
I had a note in my init.el I'd thrown in at some stage which said: make a little convenience function that wraps the result of 'c' (or 'w', which I use) in Info into a runnable form.

It has now been removed :)

"In" to what? You have to have borders for there to be anything to get in to.
Surprisingly not a factor.

Things like this make me think Moore's law still has a lot of runaway beyond transistor density and raw computing power.
You can say whatever you like. When the mob comes for you, you'll cry foul and appeal to freedom of conscience. Nobody will give a damn because that isn't a value anyone cleaves to any longer. Nobody cares that YOU think YOUR principles are a special case.
Oof, looks like you're going for the "I'm already so enlightened" prize.

Keep it up.
To you, sure, the term is not as useful. But to the people involved in academia and politics, the jargon is useful.

You can keep using words you prefer, language is adaptable like that. But the jargon used in those circles developed for a reason, which may not be obvious to those outside or who don't follow as closely.

And yes, Cold War geopolitics and confusion around non aligned were a factor in the evolution of the language here. First world implies something about the relationship with the U.S. even to this day. The Cold War wasn't that long ago, and the political alliances haven't drifted that much since then. An old first world country like Chile might also be developing.
Visa data is listed under non-immigrant tables. Generally that information isn't very useful because there's a regular and massive flow of people in and out of the country. What you probably want is to see the net migration rate. That factors in all people, citizen and noncitizen, staying minus leaving. That's here. [1] And here is the total population change. [2] Worldometers has both datums combined here. [3]

If there was 0 immigration to the US, the population would still be growing at a solid rate. Demographic collapse lags fertility collapse by around 6 decades. That's the time it takes for the first generation (around ~20 years) to have poor fertility, to start dying. And at that point you start seeing stuff happen at a crazy exponential scale. Japan, for instance, is still yet to reach the final boss, since they only collapsed about 40 years ago.

The problem with network based immigration is just a subset of the problem with large scale immigration in general. Reduced standards risk creating entirely separate communities that fail to integrate, imperiling the entire system of immigration. For instance Sweden was, at one time, arguably the most immigrant friendly country in the world. But a large influx of immigrants who failed to assimilate has turned Sweden into a country where the Sweden Democrats [4] are looking to become the dominant party. Various countries throughout Europe are seeing similar outcomes, even if to lesser degrees - Geert Wilders/PVV in the Netherlands, AfD in Germany, and so on.

The reason employment visas are so limited is because ideally no company should be hiring foreign workers for jobs that could be done by a local worker. Otherwise you create a scenario where not only do you indeed create an underclass as companies just hire the cheapest most easy to exploit workers from anywhere en masse, but you also destroy your own labor force, economy, and ultimately country in the process of it as well.

> "People need to be taught in a more software agnostic way...switching products won't be as much of a problem"

Yep, I agree 100% right there!!! Not only does it help to ease support of those people, but they actually learn things better that way and gain much more independence! The weird thing is that some portion of the people who do not know how to be independent in basic computing are fiercely independent in other areas of their lives...which often speaks to lack of enough computing literacy some among populations...and while it might statistically be with older people, that is not always the case! I've seen some older folks be able to learn some computing basics FASTEr than some supposed digital natives. Not always of course, but more than i ever expected.
Once signed up for the WSJ. Took 10 minutes just put in my credit card and address, got a sign up discount, and boom was done.

3 months later I needed to cancel. It turns out you can only cancel by a phone call, during their business hours on the east coast. Of course that wasn't the end because then it was probably twenty minutes on hold and fighting with. "No I want to cancel. No I don't care if you offer me a discount, I am pissed you made me call in to cancel. No I don't want to suspend I want to quit."

Swore I would never purchase them again if they are going to do something like that.
The parent doesn't want to support the business because of the owner. I don't see anything about political silencing or casting a judgment on the technology. Where does he talk about silencing Musk? Where does he criticize the technology?

>So if you are not purchasing a Tesla because of Musk congratulations but I suggest you also start boycotting all other CEO's who has a view you don't like, otherwise it will just make you a hypocrite.

People are free to choose what businesses they support. At the same time, I'm sure there's a certain amount of practical decision making that has to happen to meet one's needs. You can _choose_ to think of it as hypocrisy, but it's also just being practical.

Not that I'm even agreeing with the decision making of the parent. I just think your post is a ridiculous overreaction.
I've been noticing a steady uptick in increasingly complex types like this making it into libraries/@types packages in the definitely-typed repo, and I'm concerned. There are potentially severe performance implications for being too clever, especially since the TS compiler is written in TS. For example, recursive types can seriously bog down the compiler/checker. It doesn't take long to start hitting diminishing returns, especially in larger codebases. You either get perfect type checking while the TS language server uses 800% of your CPU, or you bite the bullet and supplement the lack of typing with unit tests. I think rewriting TS in a more performant language like Zig or Rust would alleviate this to some extent, but TS will still give you more than enough rope to hang yourself with.
And? I don't see the problem. The title does include a qualifier: "good". If one product lives up to the potential that the technology (connection type) allows but another product doesn't, then I'd call (only) the first product "good".
> but people take his accomplishments for granted somehow.

Because his primary accomplishments are marketing. (To his credit, he has managed to market quite well not just to consumers but also investors and engineers.) He doesn't build the cars. He doesn't really design the cars, with the notable exception of the one that seems to find a new way every month to draw negative press for being dangerous. He didn't even start the company!

A worrying trend is that the more directly involved Elon is with a product, the worse the product seems to get.
> Apple gave up on OpenCL, after disagreements how Khronos managed it.

Ah yes, the old "I can't completely control it, cause I'm Apple, so I'm taking my ball and leaving" ploy.

Though, I will admit, AMD was also playing this game at the same time, so a disagreement was bound to happen between them and Apple.

> Metal Compute provides a CUDA like development experience.

And there it is. Proving my prior statement, Apple didn't want an open compute platform, what they wanted was their own compute platform and it would have "been nice" if they could pretend it was "open" and they "shared" nicely with the other tech kids.

Before people come at me as an Apple hater, please know that there are many, many Apple devices in my home. I'm not an Apple hater, but I call it like I see it.

I mean sure if you had 100 streamers playing chess it might make sense to have a dedicated ad sales team doing targeted ads for chess fans. But if you've got like 4 chess streamers at any given time? Easier to just give them ads for gamers.
This almost feels like how cloud providers charge excessive fees for excess bandwidth. Storage is cheap, even with replication, especially at Neon scale.
> Is it just me or is this a bizarre practice for someone who is actively making money on writing?

No, its not bizarre for paid writers to use tools that are a lower-overhead replacement for paid copy-editors when using a platform that's entire value is that it serves as a lower-overhead replacement for a publishing house but which also doesn't provide most of the things a publishing house would provide except distribution and payment processing.

It's really the most natural thing in the world. If AI was up to snuff for it, it wouldn't be surprisibg for Medium authors to use automated tools to function as editors (not merely copy editors) as well.

Remove, restrict, irrevocably alter, or up the price to your service which users have come to depend on now that free alternatives cannot compete.

For example:
Pylance becomes a premium plugin, or VsCode is no longer downloadable and can only be run in the browser if you have a GitHub account, or VsCode only runs on Windows 11 machines, or VsCode requires an Office 365 account, or they fork VsCode and start adding heavy "telemetry" while simultaneously rapidly altering pylance and plugin APIs so free plugins and original VsCode can't keep up.
The feature they call "branches" is more accurately to call "snapshots" or "checkpoints". Creating CoW writable versions and rolling back to past versions - that's snapshots. Branches imply merging, which is a huuuge can of worms, even if we apply last-write-wins, cause referential integrity and things, can't just merge postgreses.

Show HN: A consumer micro-app discovery / creation platform
We are in early stages of building Microcraft- A platform tailored to consumer micro-apps that aims to make it easy for consumers to discover such apps, as well as for creators to build and publish such apps.

The platform also has integrations with BigQuery, Dune Analytics, Infura Ethereum APIs that the developers can use in their own apps. (I need to add more documentation on how to use the APIs).

Here is an example of a custom app built on the platform: https://microcraft.dev/app/view/d87a0451/Compound%20Interest... (This doesn't use any integration)

The main problem that the platform attempts to solve is to bring little utilities(that are often not solved by large softwares / fragmented across different tools) into one umbrella platform so that they are easy to discover for consumers, and for builders to publish such apps. Often, users can find such tools scattered across different websites and they have to trust those different websites, or navigate across different websites to see what works for them(this is especially true of websites dealing with images).

If you have any feedback on the platform let us know.
> People will still vote, that is not being suppressed

Some would vehemently disagree with the second part of that sentence. Voter suppression is practically a plank of one of the two U.S. major parties.

And is voting still meaningful if most people are ignorant of what's happening in the shadows?

Is this actually Postgres, or is it some other database that aims to be compatible with the PG wire protocol?
I'm glad that Postgres is now a thing and is now being offered in comparison to MySQL. The stack of LAMP in 05's is what kept it down below.

LAPP wasn't a thing, which is now. And Apache is falling behind thanks to nginx.

It wasn't until JSON and Postgres supporting JSON that made developers change their cog. 2012, and I'd agree.

For AI scientist, the data is not in and it's all financial speculation so a different conversation.

For surgeons, yes. The American medial industry is uniquely exploitative so invests a tremendous amount of capital in backing up its claims of prividing the "best" medical care (only for wealthy people). Of course, the American Medical Association and American Association of Physicians play their parts in contributing to the scarcity by lobbying for extremely expensive education requirements that can only be afforded by those with inherited wealth (with a few exceptions only via charity).

Just as the feudalist aristocracies, the capitalist bourgeoise pull up the ladders behind them. It only works when capital has an incentive. In the case of a few American industries like medical, those incentives are especially strong. However, such incentives do not exist in almost any other country, and salaries reflect this.
You should have a ton of telemetry on business metrics. You would absolutely notice an issue before your users if you have those. For example at Netflix we monitored stream starts per second -- how often you hit play and it worked. That metric was the most important, and the one that triggered most investigations.

If your CPU and memory aren't affecting the business metrics, then it's not super relevant.
Here in the part of Canada I live in, you see some of the $3000 bike identity stuff, but most people ride something in the $500–$750 range. Something practical, comfortable, reliable, etc.

There is also a growing segment of people who use $5,000–$15,000 cargo/kid carrier bikes as replacements for their cars, which is cool. But I do worry about theft of those increasing. Right now I rarely hear of it, but it seems likely to increase. Even the motors and batteries in them cost thousands alone.
I'm surprised too, but the screenshot showing "You are are currently using ... of your 1000GB" brings back memories. Maybe it's because back then 1GB of email storage seemed essentially unlimited?

Merging is a tricky one for operational databases. We think merging schemas is a useful feature. Merging data is likely not. The feature is coming!
I'm definitely not comparing people working on a SaaS app to emergency docs and nurses, but this dynamic happens a lot in startups and it's something to watch as a manager.

Hagerty has a video on Bugatti and mentions Bugatti buying Lotus. At the time they just made the EB110 two years earlier that weighed 4,100 pounds. Talk about a difference! Colin Chapman was rolling in his grave. It's worth a watch just for the sheer bonkers life of Ettore Bugatti.

Avid twitch users are generally already spending considerably more than $10 a month with subscriptions to multiple streamers, gifted subscriptions, bits, etc.
Early race cars were not paragons of safety. I don't think I'd go so far as to say that Chapman intentionally made his cars less safe to make them faster, but I also don't know that he'd have spent any weight budget to make them safer than the regulations required.

IE

"if it's possible to make a winning car win by having the wheels fall off of it as it crosses the finish lines" -- that's okay

VS

"If it's possible to make a winning car win by having the wheels fall off of it as it crosses the finish line, then it bursts into flame and kills the driver" -- that's probably no okay.

But there's a lot of grey area between the two, and that's where winning teams won (and occasionally lost drivers / spectators). Old time car racing was blood sport.

The inefficiency of using a browser rather than just taking the html doesn't really matter because the limiting factor is the LLM here.

And yes the LLM is essential for getting clean data. None of the existing methods are flexible enough for all cases even if people say "you don't need AI to do this".
There are lots of equivalent representations. The main point here is that it's misleading to think of UTC as just a timestamp from some epoch. It needs something richer than that.

Exactly: I want to see more/newer data on residency programs and placement rates per resident (MD, DO, IMG), because last I checked, residency spots (and the bottleneck created by limited Medicare funding, which I find interesting considering the profit created by residents) were the primary bottleneck; medical schools have every incentive to open new spots as quickly as humanly possible considering the ludicrous pricing they charge. We're firmly into 'money printer' territory for medical schools and their cost of operation.
