The problem is that news organizations didn't just get disrupted by digitization (more specifically the adtech innovation), they got disrupted without replacement.

In an era of rent-seeking digital business models, where trillion dollar digital oligopolies have become the only viable option to operate in the economy, nobody wants to do the hard work of news collection, processing and dissemination with its rather precarious economics. Adding insult to injury "AI" threatens to squeeze the last drop of blood left.

This slow motion disruption (with uncertain and ugly end-states) plagues most other industries that deal heavily with information (finance, insurance etc.), more or less for the same reasons: digital illiteracy of management, short-termism and complacency from protected market silos etc.

There is no valid reason why "adtech" is the thing that drives the entire digital universe. One can imagine a combination of "newstech" and "banktech" [1] and many other "industry-techs" that collectively reflect more accurately all the diverse services people need.

What would a fit-for-purpose "newstech" platform look like? There are plenty of well-remunerated execs whose job is to figure it out. Free hint: open source software will eat the world.

[1] Not everybody in the information spreading business is a digital laggard. Bloomberg built an empire on his early incarnation of "trader-tech" - but this is more an exception confirming the rule.

We've handed visual layout markup to a bunch of software engineers who don't then consider that this should not be an engineering "language" when adding new features, which pushes closer to the hands of day to day engineers who then try and solve problems that shouldn't exist like portability and reusability. So we end up with a mishmash of nonsense that is neither simple enough for the intended user case nor smart enough to be able to be shifted to a higher level of engineering skill.
That's the problem with the term "open source". It is ambiguous and can mean anything from public domain to source available. If you just allow people to look at the source, you can call it "open source" and nobody can really argue.

If you did that and called it GPL, things would be different.

The way to go with this is to still use a grid, but make the row/col values be css variables ( "var(--foo)" ) instead of fixed values.

Then you can update the value of just that variable from JS, and the grid will reflect it.

I don't think this is a useful mindset. We judge ideas based on their merits, not who came up with them. You can throw these accusations at modern figures like Marx and Engels as well. They were very much coddled and wealthy, far removed from the workaday concerns of everyday life.

Interesting ideas are disproportionately likely to come from people who have a lot of leisure time, as that is a prerequisite for having the time to think about anything.
This might be a partial explanation why indie studios can be in meaningfully competition with the AAA-developers. They often integrate early and use beta, even alpha, early access. As a layman I find that approach more understandable. In my work, I always favore incremental changes to large process overhauls. We do have to understand that 10 years ago early access was a lot less common.
Presumably it’s including the average incidence of corporate rates because some small fraction of earners in the middle quintile pay those rates as business owners.

I happen to agree with you about who’s “really” paying for employer FICA, but there are many other taxes not directly assessed on the middle class that they’re likely paying for anyway. You can’t just tack on the full rate; not everyone in the middle class is paying FICA on every dollar of their income, there are many middle-class retirees.

Yes, the government is much, much larger than it was 75 years ago, and some of the burden for paying that has fallen on the middle class.

But the fact remains: Every major tax reform package from Reagan to Bush II to Obama to Trump has either lowered middle class rates, increased middle class deductions, or made significant new credits available to the middle class. Usually more than one of these.
Sounds like you need a group chat that people are willing to talk in. If that isn’t happening, then there’s a barrier to doing it that you need to resolve. Could be they’re fine with you listening in, but not the manager. Could be something else. Fix that, and get back to productive remotely.
I personally find that sleep quality does drop a bit but I also don’t need as much every night. The sleep-tracking apps I use say the opposite though, that quality is much higher and I get more hours in. It’s a bit of a different flavour of sleep maybe, that the apps aren’t tuned for.

The OSI is a consortium of cloud platform vendors (really - check for yourself). Of course they'll define open source in a way that excludes licenses that restrict them from turning your work into closed-source cloud platforms. The good news is that we're not beholden to their definition as they have no official status whatsoever. We don't have to believe them just because they put the words Open Source in their company name.

The BSL is clearly not open source since it requires approval from the licensor in certain applications, but the OSI also rejected the SSPL, which is just an extended AGPL that requires source code publication in even more cases, and is clearly open source because of that.

> AAA do all the graphics and maps and sound and AI first, somehow merge it together and just hope that it will be a "good" game, that it will be fun. Even if there is internal QA or playtesting, feedback gets consequently ignored.

Is that actually true? Have you worked on AAA games or got this information from credible sources?

As far as I've seen the process, MVPs and play testing is a concrete phase even in AAA development, usually for each major gameplay feature, where they're tested with minimal graphics (sometimes just blocks/boxes) but still in isolation from everything else.

But, this is just gathered from the few times I've seen the process from the outside, I haven't personally worked on any AAA games.

A Study on the Impact of Format Restrictions on Performance of LLM
I love the Total War games. I missed out on Shogun 1, but after that I've played almost all of them from Medieval onwards. I still figure Rome 1 and Medieval 2 as the best overall versions of the game.

Rome 1: Playing the Romans was amazing, all the way to the corner where you could try expanding with the Egyptians and running into the Roman might.

They basically perfected the simple gameplay loop in this title. Later on they would make changes to make managing cities less onerous (good), but would introduce the concept of Generals to rally armies with (terrible). In later games you would need to move your General back to a city (and even later just in the province) to recruit, then you could set out again to fight. In Rome you you'd usually want your General on the frontlines in enemy territory to fight and you would create units in your cities back home and then send them out to join up to the army in small groups.

What this caused is that often you would have random small numbers of units fighting other enemy groups, so you'd have to finely decide if you could win a 3v4 battle, or if you needed to delay to get a few more units there. This added a randomness to both fights and how the maps played out. Today all of the TW's play exactly the same. They give you an initial fight you're meant to win, then you have to build more units until you can go and capture the next city, rinse and repeat. Eventually you have enough support and you create a second army. While you're expanding, because there are a lot more opponents now, you will get stabbed in the back and have to move your single army back. With Rome 1 you could decide to have a percentage of your units in front busy conquering, while roaming non-General group(s) could be back at home to defend.

Medieval 2: The generic starting European factions were less fun for me, so I switched to the Egyptians (with whom I had also conquered the world with in Rome). Playing them wasn't too hard until the Mongols showed up. Due to unit compositions it would take about 2 of your full armies to beat 1 of theirs without suffering too many losses, and they would show up with at least 3 armies who would roam and burn everything. It took some serious strategy to out-maneuver and beat them. Overall strategy wise this is still the best Total War game.
it feels good when reading but it's not easy when applies to real life
I’ve switched from 1P to Strongbox which is using a Keepass2-compatible database in the background. But Strongbox integrates into the Apple AutoFill API so it works (and mostly feels) like the native Apple Keychain thing. Only for Chrome or Firefox you’ll need a plugin and then it works similar to Bitwarden. But I don’t use these.

The very beginning of this post contains a critical passage.

What makes a good knife? Of course, a good knife is a knife that cuts well.

But what does it mean to cut well? Just the sharpness of the blade? What about grip comfort? And balancing? And stickiness? And weight? And what about the thing being cut? Can a knife cut everything well?

As you can see, we are already dead in our tracks, as asking what makes a knife good is basically on the same level of complexity of asking the same thing about a human, and this is why ancient philosophers, many of whom didn't really explore nuance, should be critically studied, without falling for simplistic "this is my hero" behavior

I’m a little odd. I reply to my own messages occasionally and that could suggest I’m unhinged.

However, like many others here, I’m authentic in disclosing this awareness of perception and not deterred from doing it simply because it is not normal.

In a world where outliers are red flags, everyone is dripping in sweat to be perceived as not only normal but qualified. That’s enough to send electro-dermal activity through the roof imo.

A truly authentic person should be able to sit in that chair and comfortably tell the hard truth.

That should be the real test.
Mi d that those companies do dual licensing. All companies which worry about AGPL got to buy the commercial license to be on the safe side. While only the original vendor is able to do that, creating an imbalance between what they can do and an external contributor can do. (While external contributions are of limited interest for vendors who want to control a roadmap etc. and treat open source as marketing vehicle anyways)

I think if you're worried about knowledge transfer when an engineer puts in a resignation you have bigger problems. Knowledge transfer should be an ongoing thing. If you're not paid like a key man you should not be a key man.

Some companies like to be cheap and not hire sufficient number of engineers. Companies are fine understanding redundancy for their hardware and their services etc... They totally failed to grasp it for their employees. That's all fine and good if you're putting in a resignation and giving two weeks or a month notice but often times things are not planned. Family emergencies happen where you have extended times people can be out, grave injuries or death happens or people can just be gone the next day.

So however you plan for those eventualities is the same way you plan for and manage the knowledge transfer on resignation.

No problem; and yes I think the best way to look at the Cold War is via the game theory approach of two powers battling each other. Each of them had ideologies that were integral to their actions, but not exclusively so, and they acted in ways contrary to those ideologies if it was deemed necessary in a realpolitik sense - which usually meant because the country in question was going to be influenced by the other player.

Politicians lying is so common it's a cliche. Trump does it in an unusual way, because they typically lie about what they're going to do and then you don't find out until after they're in office, whereas Trump will say inaccurate things you can contemporaneously validate.

He'll do things like call Kamala Harris the "border czar", which she never had as an official title, but she was actually tasked with handling some aspects of the migrant issue. So then it's not exactly accurate, but to write a story about it, now you're writing a story about immigration (which Trump wants) and explaining the issue by telling people that Harris really was tasked with doing something about it, with the implication that it's not solved. He's clearly doing it on purpose. It's one of the reasons the news media hates him so much. He's effectively manipulating them and they don't like it.

But then, for example, in the Trump interview with Elon Musk, Musk proposed a government efficiency commission and Trump was receptive to the idea. Which isn't a bad idea at all, but that was not the focus of any of the interview coverage I observed.
As someone two years into working at Google this resonates hard and has absolutely been my experience as an engineer there too. It's certainly not the culture I was expecting for sure.

Sometimes I like writing stuff in odd scales and intonations. The
"Lucy" tuning is also very pleasant [0]. I once met a producer who had
guitars fretted to this tuning. It doesn't lend itself well to DAWs
that have an underlying MIDI note logic. Practically it's better to
work in Pd/Max with raw oscillators and arithmetic than to try
shifting MIDI note values around with bend. The ZynAddSub engine (also
used in Yoshimi synth) has a nice scales filter.

Probably worth mentioning Jacob Joaquin [1] who did this stuff in Csound
back in the 90s. On one of his patches I based a generative music
system for a game, it was the "Harmonic tree" - very similar to the
system in the article - repeated multiplication by integer fractions
at each branch.

Using simple timbres (like flute/organ/sine) you can make big but
crystal clear sounding chords, and then slowly changing one "note" at
a time you get an ever evolving soundscape that blows anything "Eno"
off the map. Its in a sweet creative area between composition and
additive synthesis.

Not sure what is your definition of "news" but sticking to the common generic usage of the term this comes as an incredibly thick stance.

There is a vast universe of information that is collected and reported by the news industry: from global news on wars, pandemics, disasters, to business / market / technology news, to political news, all the way to local news.

All them are "actionable" one way or an other, although not in the same way for everyone. Biases and varying signal to noise ratios are real, but your remedy is akin to choping off your head because you have a headache.

Edit: Sweden started transitioning towards worker based ownership in the 80's, that is extremely leftist. Why did USA do nothing to stop them? Didn't even sanction them.

> Wage Earner funds,[1] is a socialist version of sovereign wealth funds whereby the Swedish government taxed a proportion of company profits and put into special funds charged to buy shares in listed Swedish companies, with the goal of gradually transferring ownership in medium to large companies from private to collective employee ownership.

So there, clear proof USA didn't mindlessly commit hostilities against any country doing anything leftist. So you were just wrong here.
