Maybe Patreon could leverage this loop hole as well.

You can view content from creators in app. But only patreon.com can be used to manage subscriptions to each creator. No in-app purchases on Google or Apple App Stores.

UX takes a small hit, but better than giving up 27-30% to Apple or Google.

> But a brand-new house won’t fix your troubles any more than a fresh start with a fascinating new somebody will.

With full-grown adults (ie 27-28+), there is rarely such a thing as a fixer-upper. If you’re unhappy with your fully adult partner, cut and run. Life is short and opportunity cost is real. You are doing them and yourself no favors.
If it gives you joy do it. I find no intrinsic joy in plumbing, electrical work, and so on; it's a chore to me. The payoff in seeing the job done often pales beside the trouble I have to go to complete it. With more skill, the balance tips in favor of doing it yourself. I'm at that point at other things. I can prepare a good meal faster than you can order it.
> houses with more bedrooms
> further from .. cities
> low-carbon to boot

those seem contradictory. How can a suburban/exurban sprawl be low carbon? And even if WFH workers don't drive themselves, someone still needs to drive to ship their Amazon deliveries to their homes or to move groceries and gas to nearby stores.
Hey look I'm poor as I've ever been and have 3 step kids. Gonna send it for another two kids soon regardless of our finances. Why? Well because we want to and we're not getting any younger! Mate childcare, house sizes, money. Eh well make it work. No point worrying about problem that might not even happen.

It is a marketing problem largely. People got too high a expectations these days. They expect everything to be perfect and are largely massively selfish in doing it.

We might be poor, we might be cramped in a tiny house. But the kids are fed, clothed and are in a loving family. It's better than a lot of wealthy fams I know where the kids are depressed because the parents rarely cross the giant house to have a chat or hang out with them. Everybody is hidden behind thousands of dollars of screens.

The middle class has a massive marketing problem re. Having kids and families.
Reducing barrier to entry is not a bad thing
This comment is in a discussion about an article titled, Tensors, the geometric tool that solved Einstein's relativity problem. Therefore, "tensors are literally the topic that started this discussion."

Hopefully that's a hint that you should attempt to figure out what someone might be talking about before going to schoolyard insults.
Sure, but in the traditional sense of pass-by-reference you could say it's just always pass-by-value, and that value is always a reference. It's just not a helpful thing to say. (In those traditional pass by reference languages, was it impossible to pass a scalar to a function?)

Passing a pointer-by-value similarly seems to be avoiding the point; if you tell me Python is always pass-by-value I'll expect an object I pass to a function to be a copy & not a reference, thus not be able to be mutated, and that's not the case.
What I notice when I travel with a scanner is that the US West Coast and East Coast are entirely different in terms of radio, that includes not just inland areas but also the area around New York City.

The 2 meter band for instance is back to back busy with people speaking English, Spanish and other languages in L.A. but if I scan for a while in NYC I’ll eventually hear two people talking on a repeater.

So far as I can tell startups in the Bay Area try to develop 900 MHz devices and come to the conclusion that the band is too crowded because every Stanford student and his uncle is testing some gadget they made. If somebody tried that in the Research Triangle Park area, however, they’d probably wonder if their receiver was dead.

So more products dogpile in the 2.4G band which is crowded everywhere.

The situation is at the most blatant where it seems the utilization of TV channels is much less than 10% on the East coat because our cities are too spread out for it to be easy to cover people but are too close together to be able to reuse frequencies. Thus you can get more channels than some cable plans with just a pair of rabbit ears in LA but it is not like that in NYC where reflections are so bad in the canyons I wouldn’t count in tuning into anything in Manhattan.
I don't like this action form Apple, but I don't agree with your assessment of market economics here.

The problem with "fairness" is that there is no objective measure of it. Everybody evaluates fairness according to how it aligns with their own personal interests.

This is one of the key problems a free market economy solves. Price discovery is the intersection of what somebody's willing to sell something for, and what somebody else is willing to pay for it. Both of these parties will have a completely different idea of what's fair. That's why fairness is not a valid price discovery mechanism, and I don't think any free market economist has ever advocated for it.
They’re just seeking refuge.
> I make gelatine from pig's feet occasionally, when I make it with just salt and some lemon or vinegar, I don't have problems.

Very interesting. Have you tried consuming beef liver to see if that helps? I was able to completely stop my VitD supplements after consuming liver.
Even if practices so far have been unconstitutionally broad and sloppy, are there any scenarios where such a warrant for that kind of data could be valid?

For example, a small cottage in the woods is burned down with gasoline on a night the owner is absent. The police want to find the arsonist by asking for phones that connected to that tower that night, and there happen to be only 3 results, two of which are known neighbors. Still too broad?

In other words, should some of this hinge on the varying size/specificity of the result-set, rather than the query-parameters in isolation?

~~While probably meant to simply, this statement sort-of undermines the author's credibility. I mean the "a very large number" part. Correct me if I'm wrong, but surly he means "a very fast growing function".~~

I'm asking this earnestly but is Go suitable for native GUI apps (not web)? 3D graphics/Games? Audio processing?
Yeah, "just clear the tote out daily" is a a huge understatement. Though, I think this plan better than never cleaning at all.
Oh you too. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's really liked per-creation for years. "I pay my rent if I can do eight posts of comics pages/art/etc a month" was a good kick in the ass to keep working.

Patreon's been trying to kick everyone off of per-creation for like half the time I've been using it, so I'm sure they're pretty delighted to have this excuse to nuke that mode. I don't think I've seen a single Patreon-like that has it and I don't want it badly enough to try and cobble up something out of a few Wordpress plugins.
The argument is this has been going on for a long time and isn't anything new or surprising. It's even happened at past events and has always been known to the organizers as commonplace. It isn't justifying the behavior, but attempting to put it into context.
Yes, and that last one is what's being alleged.

I’ve yet to try WezTerm myself, but this single issue would make me switch back to Alacritty.

You're right, I think I mixed up which comment I was responding to. I stand by my point but will add nuance that I get the sense you already know, that unconditional support doesn't mean unconditional coddling.

Unconditional support doesn't mean protecting your son from failure or consequences in life. It just means you always offer an empathetic ear to help them process their struggles. It may even mean helping the face hard truths, so long as it's being done from a place of love and not disappointment.

I really do get the sense you know this, I'm saying it mostly because others seem to have misunderstood what I meant.
If this is the case, I don’t understand why Patreon and other sites cannot adopt the same approach. Very easy to remove buy buttons in apps, and redirect users to patreon.com to manage subscriptions for content creators and “per content” payments.

iOS and Google apps just used to view content.

Patreon is a relatively small company so velocity to complete this effort even amongst multiple teams should be at most a few weeks. If this was a Fortune 500, I would probably estimate it at 2-3 months.
Yeah the problem with CSS comes from its weird design with many implicit rules (border collapse, block formatting context, and hundreds of other quirks), but not from the fact that it's “bloated”.

So if you want to address CSS's problem, they must:

- invent a more coherent and easy to use styling language

- implement a GPU-accelerated renderer

- write tons of documentation to make sure people will find how to use it

No wonder why people stick with CSS for everything nowadays even if the consensus is that it's a really annoying tool to work with.
You can also rely on them to share tools. When you're on your own, does it make sense to buy the numerous tools that you only use once in a blue moon? Now I have to decide if I want to buy or rent them. Well if I'm going to go that trouble I can just pay someone to do it too.

I'm a runner and have had a weird question, could a runner defeat a larger human in this way? Like if I found myself in mortal combat with The Rock at 260 lbs after his steroids cycle, could I just repeatedly run away and follow him (while staying out of range) until he tired out and then bonk him on the head with a rock, like a tired antelope? (No offense to The Rock, seems like a great guy)

> Like you don't have time to research the CPUs for a personal machine?

No. It's when I have to quickly line up hardware for my customers.

I'll have 5 projects in play and I get an email from a client saying they need a workstation or notebook for a new hire ASAP. I can skim Intel CPUs among Lenovo offerings fairly quickly.

Back when I was a system builder, I knew every capability of every chip. When Intel had hobbling virtualization (VT/x, etc), I knew which chips were capable. In that day, I often chose AMD to save time because every AMD CPU was fully capable.
This is similar to how---let's be honest---most of us manage our OS desktop files.

This is what confuses me; it sounds like what you're saying is Python isn't pass-by-reference, it's pass-by-value, and that value is sometimes a reference?

Honestly, "x's value, like the value of all Python variables, is a reference to some object" makes me think it's more accurate to call Python pass-by-reference only.
Spoilers, but I'll try to phrase this vaguely:

Near the end, I noticed one or two hints that SCP-4987 was still around. I thought that was going to be the key to the solution at the end, but the story went for the more generic option.

I found a comment by QNTM that the former was actually his original plan[0]. Personally I actually would have preferred that ending but maybe that's just because I thought I'd guessed the twist ahead of time. The whole book is really really good.

If anyone comes into this not having heard of the "SCP Foundation" before, imagine something a bit like the secret government organisation from Men In Black but instead of aliens it's the paranormal.

Electricity costs is perhaps the last thing a pc gamer considers when choosing a new CPU. That's if they consider it at all...

That would be like asking how many MPG's a rebuilt 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 gets... it was not built for efficiency - it was built for performance.
I really like most aspects of Go, but as someone who writes a lot of numerical code, no operator overloading is a deal breaker. It's so hard to accept something like Add(Scale(s1, vec1), Scale(s2, vec2)) over s1 * vec1 + s2 * vec2. So I stick with Python and C++ for now.

Rust is really appealing as a C++ replacement, but it has too many rules to replace Python for one-off scripts. Still need to try Nim and Swift, I guess...

Yes, big time

Only if it was uniform. Fewer and fewer kids mean within a few generations, we have more and more old people who rely on others to survive. If a society has 50% people over 60 and 50% young'uns, then they have a big problem.

Overall people are frustrated at so much radio frequency lying fallow. My pet peeve is that the density of commercial TV and radio stations in the U.S. East coast is a fraction of what it is in the West coast. Seems cities in the East are too spread out for a single station to cover much population but too close together to reuse frequencies between cities. Turn your dial on your TV and radio and it is a lot of dead air.

I don't think this is up to the consumer. The companies should just pull their apps from the Apple marketplace. If something can be a website, just be a website. Why even mess with an app at all? It's not like consumers are clamoring for these apps. Everyone I know hates that you have to have an app for everything these days.

Also it's well tested on all three. One look at wez' repo vs the rest in terms of GitHub actions, issues, and documentation was all the convincing I needed back in like 2019. Haven't turned back since. Heck it even supports tabbing out of the box!

It's the first terminal to truly replace urxvt for me in terms of support and speed. Before I was running termite and kept urxvt as a backup for some odd situations where termite got buggy.
> does anybody want to argue that Apple hosting the Patreon app on iOS provides more value to Patreon subscribers and creators than the existence of Patreon itself does?

I'll bite, kind of. People get emotional about particular companies so let's abstract them away: is it possible for a second-tier distributor to bring more value to a first-tier distributor than the first-tier brings to suppliers?

Looking at it that way, sure. It seems obvious. If a local distributor picks up a local product, and then a national distributor buys from the local distributor, it's pretty obvious that the national distributor brings more value.

Looping back to the specifics, if Apple was the primary means that people discover Patreon and the creators on it, sure, it would make sense. But for Patreon specifically that's not the case (I think). The economics would suggest that Patreon should do away with their iOS app, focus iOS users on the web, and everyone would be ahead.
I think the point is that many of us would like this without any AI in it, just a simpler Postgres playground in the browser, much like the Rust or Go playgrounds.

I wonder if someone could leak the source code. Googling the original developers listed on the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordStar) turns up some LinkedIn profiles (which I did not log in to check). I think I've read several stories of old source code getting recovered from a 3.5 floppy someone had in a garage somewhere. There's even a video where the LGR guy scavenged an old PC from a defunct warehouse-like computer repair shop and was able to pull source code from some old game from Sierra Online from it (it was a development machine, and they brought it in for repair in the 80s and never claimed it).
Poetry is a hard sell but musical performance is close to an athletic competition -- requires precision and style.

Your room was certainly searched (effectively required in all the big strip hotels after the 2017 shooting) but those searches are mostly housekeeping crew phoning in anything particularly "problematic looking" during regular cleaning and a separate set of dedicated staff doing random walk-ins every day or other day (generally without touching anything) where they step in look around for 30 seconds and go to the next room. It's designed to be exactly the thing you never notice while you are there unless you don't leave your room.
For that exact reason, we have a rule that every DDL migration must be a separate migration in the framework. So if migration #2 out of 3 fails, only 1 migration will be marked as completed. If we see migration failed in CI/CD logs, it's immediately clear what exactly failed, and we can quickly revert what has managed to run (by applying the corresponding down migration), to return the DB to the previous valid state (if we decide to abort the release and fix the migrations first). Or we can rerun individual DDL migrations again, if it's a timeout issue.

We design migrations in such a way so that new schemas/data never conflict with already running (old) code. And new code is activated only after all migrations completed successfully. So in practice half completed migrations is rarely an issue for us.

But yeah, it requires more boilerplate. However, there's fewer surprises, compared to IF NOT EXISTS.
