Open a random play list, start playing a track.

Close the client, try to get back to the track you paying right now... Pick a big list will it get you back to the track. There used to be a few ways to do this, now there is one (and it's ugly).

Is there a rhyme or reason to show or not show the tracks of an artist that I have liked/followed? Is that display consistent?

Why are we mixing liked artists and liked playlists now. Why is "like" some global list. Albums, songs, Artists are not the same thing. Globing these preferences together is like telling the waiter you like ice cream when he asks for your drink order, at breakfast on a Tuesday.

Why do I have to click into an album to find the publish date of a track? They have this whole right panel now with half assed track info and nothing useful.

The UI needs burned to the ground and an adult, who likes music needs to tell them what they need to show...
Then this game will be easy. My heart is trained to beat every 0.6 seconds thanks to OSRS.
Iiuc only some of them are now on Paramount Plus.
It's a very sad news.

I'm from Europe and I've never been to the States, but I loved the remote access to the Living Computers Museum. I'd often do `ssh menu@tty.livingcomputers.org` to see what was up. I'm glad to see that this will now be `ssh menu@tty.sdf.org`. Will it only be emulators or will there be some real computers?
True, having this as a solution is a good last resort, but it would feel more native if it could run without an extra Windows VM, even though Wine is already kind of a Windows. Currently, I'm running Windows 11 in virt-manager just to use mstsc for a customer who doesn't allow Linux RDP clients. This setup feels a bit excessive. Using Wine for that purpose would be less of a pain. I appreciate the work people do to run things in wine, thanks!
But it wouldn't help to cut the headcount sufficiently if the question was reversed. I think that Netflix is dying and they need to extract the last drops of value for the shareholders. As a technology company, they were among the first to solve large-scale streaming but now everyone's caught up, so they have nothing to show for.
That’s kind of the point though isn’t it? Why not just put this on Paramount+ or gate that through Paramount+?

They have tons of content, why not make it available? Because it’s difficult, and they don’t see the value prop, even even though there may be one.
It is clear now that paper archives are far superior to digital ones.

Digital archives don't degrade over time - but they are so easy to destroy. Unplug the disks, or hit "Erase", or take the site down - and history has been erased.

We'll know more about the 19th century than we ever will of the 21st century.
That's would be a great incentive especially for better payed workers with possibly more access to critical information.
What insinuation?
Merges are also dangerous because they can contain arbitrary changes (a commit is just a tree state with parent references but the tree state can be anything) but no one ever looks at the merge commit changes themselves.
The only reason why I already knew the name of this type of gate was because Fezzik was ordered to prevent it from closing in 'The Princess Bride'. Porte cochere are very common in my neighborhood as there's a zoning requirement for all garages to be behind the primary residence, but so far, I've yet to see anyone equip one with a portcullis.
This is the same as Facebook/Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc. taking something down for "hate speech" or "community guidelines". OP reported my original comment the same way Paramount removed content. Bit of a double-standard. I advocate for torrent, to believe in a large corporation to up-hold content (like a comment on the internet, or a TV series) who is surprised it moved to a paid streaming service.
That particular passage, perhaps; however one can certainly believe growers destroying an abundance to control prices. It certainly doesn't sound like the purported overabundance of food was evenly distributed:

Higher quality of what? Content? YouTube doesn't make any, it just hosts it. Of UX? None of the big streaming services have anything remotely comparable in quality to YouTube's player, and given it is what it is, that's saying something.
The issue with estate sales is that they are usually estate disposals. People inheriting their parents’ stuff are usually themselves grown adults with their own busy lives, and the average estate consists of immense amounts of clutter that the inheritor has approximately zero interest in. They’re grieving, they’re seeking closure. Not looking to spend years sifting through hundreds of thousands of items of household bric-à-brac looking to extract value. They want your house cleared so they can sell it and hopefully pay off a bit of their own mortgage.
Wtf. How do I learn to raise 10 million? And after 3 years they have no compelling product or revenue? Can you tell me how your co founder did it?

I use Affinity on my Mac and am completely happy with it, although I don’t do print media.
> Surprised nobody mentioned GIMP yet.

People will say that GIMP cannot compete with Photoshop in some use cases, I'm just happy that I don't have to worry about those and it's completely sufficient for what I want to do, same with LibreOffice vs MS Office and other imperfect FOSS projects. They might not always be the best choice out there, but they’re almost always decent.
mtmr0x, true, but think of this as the polite introduction before the gloves come off. Stick around and you'll get some reminders escalate into full-on verbal sparring matches. Remember, even Nietzsche had to start somewhere before becoming Nietzsche.
There might be some tricks for this like configuring GPU passthrough, but that can be challenging or even impossible sometimes.
I don't think that's location based. More likely industry.

Even in California once you leave SaaS /software /internet startups the corporate culture is different.

My wife doesn't have pronoun police at her California office job. Me working in web software, I had a guy from the Midwest scold me about pronouns.
I mean, it's common when the argument itself has a domain of all possible Python objects and therefore `None` should be usable as a literal value. The requirement itself is not very common, but virtually all code with that requirement uses this idiom in my knowledge.

Conversely, Photoshop and Illustrator support is often the reason someone maintains for not moving to Linux. I would bet there's a lot of Mac users who would otherwise be Linux users if not for that lack of support, and instead went to Mac. It's the only way to have comfortable Adobe support outside of Windows.
I thought they stopped updating, but I see they are still shopping patches as recently as this March. Maybe they just stopped producing new content.
You should definitely checkout Affinity Photo[1], which is a decent alternative costing way less money.

I personally switched to Gimp, which took its time, but now that I'm used to it, it is ok.

Damned impressive.

Apple's Siri still can't allow me to have a conversation in which we aren't tripping over each other and pausing and flunking and the whole thing degrades into me hoping to get the barest minimum from it.
That contractor would likely just be a LLM proxy today though...
To me it sounds strange that they are getting rid of ICT, which sound exactly something that could be useful in general for anyone operating in modern white collar office. Computer science certainly has place, but with challenges that younger generation seem to face with more desktop style computing to me it sounds something that was actually needed.
There is no such thing as a "nix dependency", Nix builds everything from scratch. You yourself control the whole software supply chain.

[It's still not a completely fixed problem - Nix needs to finish their content-addressable scheme, and for that you need reproducible builds; this is a detail, though.]
I guess what would be interesting (and what my original comment was about) is how / if the California communication style got started in SV and then traveled around everywhere else via the tech industry. I think it likely started as an aspect of a particular location and then became an industry thing later.

> which is a major piece that needs to be solved with wasm generally.

I use WASM everyday and I don't agree that this is anywhere near the top of the things that need to be fixed. The DOM is inherently slow by design, accessing it through a JS shim or "directly" from WASM really wouldn't make any difference in performance.

And on the language level, the DOM is just another web API accessed through a wrapper library like https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-bindgen/examples/dom.html.

Also the "fixed" Javascript is called Typescript (maybe combined with a very strict linter).
A lot of these guys ask for company name and it often is required. I'm not a company. Just a dude trying to evaluate your thing for my hobby projects.
As someone who once had to remove a needlessly glued in battery from a mac book pro after it became bloated using a heat gun and safety-bucket of sand I have to say that Apple is one of the worst manufacturers in terms of maintainability of their products.
It’s had 2 subsequent major changes with massive differences in units, game balance, and pacing … to the point of almost being three different games. The most recent and current era is called “Legacy of the Void” and is about 9 years old. Since then changes have been fairly conservative, mainly just unit stats changes. Though some “units” like infested terrans have been removed in the past nine years, which could be considered semi-major/semi-minor.
Interesting, given that I remember from history lessons that it was more-less exactly as quoted.

Curiously, this also happens today. Grocery stores dump a lot of perfectly good food and other goods, and some of them figure that it can't be that someone dumpster-dives instead of buying, therefore they instruct employees to make the trash unusable. Example I've seen first-hand was when throwing away a perfectly good box of laundry detergent, they would open it and spill it into a container of perfectly good fruits and veggies, to make both unusable.

I'm not a freegan, but I knew a few at some point, and the stories I heard even in my local area, makes the quote feel 100% believable.
> writing JSON parsers takes time

The promise of pure functional programming was to never write a 'JSON parser' by hand ever again. (Among other things.)

The paradigm failed because people in charge of Haskell and Elm and other similar languages failed at their job.
Sadly, advertising is the best way to pay for your online product in most cases.

Micro-payments have been tried a few times but most people did'nt like to pay for stuff that they used to get for "free". Since everyone is now locked into a few big tech platforms, they can now supplement their ad income by charging users, too.

They could have easily auctioned off/sold very old content to someone else..

That assumes they own the exclusive rights to the content. A lot of media has many rights holders (writers, music, etc), and you need to get them all to agree a sale or waive their right in order to sell. That could be expensive because it's involve lots and lots of lawyers. For a bunch of old comedy clips it might not make any commercial sense.
FWIW starcraft 2 is free to play, just not “offline”. And only one single player campaign is free, the other 2.5 costs money. Continuing revenue is primarily generated via cosmetic sales.
They can promote a newer book that appeals to a larger audience and/or has better margins. Simple choices have to be made some how.
Genomes by Design
Aha, so I’m not the only one. For both Claude 3 Opus and 3.5 Sonnet, anecdotally its language is far more natural. So much so that I prefer it over 4o.
Why not use Signal? You can message and phone call securely, it's free and not too feature packed.
I don't think WASM will get access to the DOM. That makes it a kind of extension as things stand, unless I've missed something. A lot of work has gone into limiting the reach of JavaScript. That would need to be done all over again.
Naw, they aged out of 18-40.

There's a reason that's the prime demographic. At some point you see the recycled shit dressed up as something new, and realize your "new" was also repackaged poop.
I don't buy Photoshop as a heavy exotic APIs user.

In many ways it's about pure computations involving images represented as data structures. Perhaps there used to be some USB to talk to cameras but that's it.

I believe their Mac version has no COM so why Windows version has to rely on it?

I wonder why Adobe does not make some effort to support Wine, such as testing for this platform.

Oh boy, this book was very popular in the USSR, depicting a complete failure of a capitalist society.

Ragtime is still a thing???
I had the pleasure of working in Ragtime 2.5 and then 3 in 199x on a MacPlus (I had a job translating the manual for Cricket Presents - “PowerPoint” before PowerPoint - from English to danish).

Ask HN: Should Frontend(CSS) and Backend Devs Be Paid Equally? A Discussion
Hey everyone,

We're having an internal discussion about whether there should be a pay difference between top-tier frontend developers and backend developers, or if they should be compensated equally.

In the past, CSS was a skill many could handle. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly complex, with new features being added to browsers almost monthly.

Senior CSS experts argue that there isn't a significant difference in skill level between frontend and backend developers, suggesting that both should be paid the same.

What do you think? How does your agency handle this? Whether you own or work at an agency, we'd love to hear your perspective.

Currently, we pay them the same, but we're reconsidering as we gain more experience.

Looking forward to your insights!

Hosting video is expensive; a Twitch streamer (Thor) mentioned that an 8-hour stream at 1080p with 8,000 viewers costs Twitch nearly $5,000, while 720p still costs around $1,300.

Personally, I prefer 720p. It's easy to play on any device, the file sizes are much smaller, and the quality is fine. I don't need 4K for most content and save it for exceptional visuals like Godfrey Reggio's Trilogy or Yojimbo — one of the most visually stunning movies I've ever seen in high resolution. My preference also reduces hosting costs for platforms, at least from my account.

Social media constantly pushes high-res, addictive content, but alternatives like Fediverse exist. After adjusting to these communities, I deleted my X account and rarely use Facebook. On Fediverse, server operators encourage efficient file sizes (and types,) unlike Instagram or TikTok.

The network effect drives people to the few social networks, but I'm not convinced people actually want what they're being given. Repeating for emphasis: I'm not convinced this is what people want!
Public domain does not mean public. The source code could remain a trade secret.

More of an obstacle is competition from free past versions - a lot of people would be happy with a 10 year old version of Photoshop or MS Office. That's why I think it should be extendable to 20 years with a hefty fee (but not further, or only with a much heftier fee).
I have a mathematics (though not physics) degree and I didn't understand your question at all; "forques" appears to be either a place in France, Old French, or Catalan. I assume ChatGPT was correct in re-spelling "forques" as "torques", but have you tried asking Claude using words that do appear on the Internet?

Perhaps the bullshit industrial complex just accelerates this realization. I think I'm a bit older than the OP. I work on notionally quite pro-social software and still wake up thinking the same thing.

I think they both are difficult depending on the stack. At some jobs I've had the backend jobs were super simple...and the frontends were super complex....not always the case but with everything now being pushed to the client side with SPAs it becomes a lot more difficult than maintaining a simple crud api endpoint.
AI image generation with DALL·E 3 like Bing, but better! Simple, seamless, and high-quality results.
I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and creativity. One day, while struggling to find the perfect image for a project, I realized there had to be an easier way. After countless hours of research and development, I’m thrilled to introduce Bing Image Creator.

Using the powerful DALL·E 3, this tool makes AI image generation effortless. Whether you’re an artist, a designer, or just someone who loves playing with visuals, Bing Image Creator offers a simple, seamless experience with high-quality results. It’s like Bing, but better!

This journey wasn’t just about creating a tool; it was about solving a common problem with a touch of innovation and a lot of heart. Try it out and see how it transforms your creative process!
Windows is an oppressive government's wet dream. Records everything, collects massive amounts of private data and sends it to a central location, randomly forces remote software installation/"updates", prevents users from accessing parts of the OS/file system. What more could they want?
>Windows 3.1 API

I am always surprised to learn how big Microsoft was by the Windows 3.x era. Bill Gates was already the richest person in the world before the release of Windows 95.

Maybe it's because I am young and I assumed their total dominance emerged in the Windows 98 to XP era with only receiving some pushback with the emergence of Intel Macs in the late 2000s.

There is another post that is sounding an alarm on inert gas asphyxiation which I think is quite important but it's flagged, presumably because of a sidebar admonishment about drug addiction.

Breathing inert gasses is extremely dangerous. It is not like holding your breath: because the gas you inhale is free of oxygen, it actively pulls oxygen out of your blood. Instead of thinking about breath holding, think more like the USCSB videos where someone walks into a space with a nitrogen atmosphere and immediately drop unconscious, then someone goes in to save the first person (already knowing about the danger) and they both die. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ItJe2Incs ).

When narcotic gasses are used for anesthetic purposes they're used with a gas manifold that mixes in pure oxygen to achieve a gas mix that won't kill the subject. Even this is easy to get wrong, and a wrong mix due to a flat tank or an incorrect setting can kill someone very quickly and quietly.

It's also not clear to me how psychologically safe it is, I've seen at least one clearly unhinged person on twitter going on about their xenon use... but I dunno if the drug use lead to they psych issues or the psych issues lead the the drug use. or if their issue was just related to inadvertent oxygen deprivation as a side effect of their xenon use. Studies of anesthetic use may not tell us much about recreational use since they're presumably not dosing people daily or multiple times daily for weeks at a time. -- it's not like you can easily purchase single doses, that bottle isn't going to use itself!
Javascript is widely used because, have you noticed it's in every browser, as a conformance requirement to web standards, without which you cannot use most websites?

Why did such a syntax get into every browser? The Wikipedia has a synopsis of the well-known story:

> [Brendan] Eich started work at Netscape Communications Corporation in April 1995. He originally joined intending to put Scheme "in the browser", but his Netscape superiors insisted that the language's syntax resemble that of Java. As a result, Eich devised a language that had much of the functionality of Scheme, the object-orientation of Self, and the syntax of Java.

Java was a hot buzzword around that time.

So one way we can look at it is that it was developed too early. Eich eventually became CTO and then CEO of Netscape. Had he started hacking on a Scheme in the browser at that later time, there would be likely be no vapid "Netscape superiors" who could push the bullshit Java syntax.

Had Eich put Scheme in the browser, it would have had (let ((var ...)) ...) from the get go. Instead, the world had to wait until 2019 (or whenever it was) to get "let var = ...;" that is properly block scoped rather than function scoped.

I think if we had Scheme in the browser instead of Java, we would still have other syntaxes via "transpilation" anyway, just the same.

Transpilation would be nicer because you can use macros to develop a more ideal target language for your syntax, so the transpiler has less to do.

E.g. suppose you want pattern matching. It would make more sense to make pattern matching in Scheme, and then just a syntactic sugar for it that looks Java-like, than to implement the Java-like syntax and the pattern matching expansion in the transpiler. Plus it would be available to more transpilers: different syntactic sugars could easily share the same pattern matching sublanguage. The semantics would be documented just once; to go from one surface syntax to another, you'd just learn how the new one maps onto the semantics you already know.
