"chemicals are those ingredients with scary names" is not a useful definition - unless you think foods containing 3-Methylbutanal are problematic (bananas [1]). You have to be more specific, otherwise you end up deriding ingredients based on how they sound rather than how safe they are. HFCS for example, is 55% fructose and 45% glucose while regular sugar is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. So since fructose might be worse for the body (although this is disputed and it might be that glucose is worse), HFCS might be a little worse but it really is the quantities of sugar that matter than the kind.

Yes, Apple has been blind to the actual humans using their products for some time now. Apple's fandom would probably quote statistics about demand while failing to realise that normal people don't want to buy a new phone unless they have to.

Riding the hype and focus groups can only do so much. So everyone is getting suboptimal AI now, instead of say longer battery life.
> it sucks as a cereal, nutritionally speaking, iirc, based on what I've read earlier. i could be wrong

You are wrong. Sorry. I can't even imagine where you could have read that.

I would rebut you with actual facts, but since you haven't given any information to rebut, there's nothing for me to say except that you've been misinformed.
You seem to be thinking of query builders. I would posit that they are still useful in many real-world scenarios because SQL still stupidly does not support composition. Maybe some day it will catch up with the 1950s, but until that day...

ORM has nothing to do with queries. It is about the data. You will still want to map your database structures to your application structures (and vice-versa), else you'll end up with a weird and ugly chain of dependencies that will forever ruin your codebase.
Would a 3d animation software like EmberGen[0] qualify? Because they already have it[1]. I think it's going to take something bigger, like a massively popular indie or AAA game that programmed their game in odin using an open source engine. Quite the needle to thread.

Independent journalism that delves into both/all sides and does not rely on soundbites and extracting things out of context and has no agenda but the truth Like during Covid they would allow vigorous debate about efficacy, lockdowns, deplatforming, etc.

It's a dream but would not last. All sides would attack it for being for whoever the boogeyman they think is.
As an Indian, I hope they go this path to be banned. Imagine media coverage of a fight between a non functioning and corrupt government vs the most important source of knowledge for everyone.

I think there are 2 very important things missing from your analysis:

1. I'm not sure if Spotify still does this, but I think it does, but a couple years ago there was a big kerfuffle over how Spotify allocates its revenue. The way it works now is that only huge artists make anything, because given the power law distribution of music, what Spotify does is take the number of streams for an particular song and divides them by the total number of streams, and then uses this to proportion total revenue accordingly. What smaller artists wanted was division of revenue by individual subscriber. That is, say I pay $10/Mo for Spotify, but I only listened to 10 songs that month, all from the same artist. Under a "divide individual subscriptions" model, that artist would have received the full amount (i.e. approximately $7) of that user's subscription revenue (obviously depending on who has the rights to the song). But the way Spotify does it (again, not sure if this has changed), since that user listens to much less that the average user, when you pool everything together, that obscure artist makes a lot less.

2. The other issue is that Spotify has been using their power to force artists to accept their music being played for free in the first place. Taylor Swift famously removed all her music from Spotify years ago because Spotify wasn't willing to only let her music be played to paid subscribers (and not free users). Few other artists had the power to do this, both because they're teeny compared to Taylor Swift, and because Swift (very smartly obviously) controlled much more of her music rights than most artists.
I wrote something similar, but for the web. I call it "Literate Markdown" (https://simpatico.io/lit.md) and you write markdown and your html/css/js/md code blocks are both exposed as text and as code blocks for execution in the browser. The format expects to a) be transformed and exposed by a special server (https://simpatico.io/reflector.md) and b) rendered in a browser. This code also includes a simple test harness that, for example, turns the favicon green/red depending on if exceptions are thrown in your code (https://simpatico.io/testable.js) I also wrote an acceptance test that loads most of the interesting parts of the site in iframes and combines their test output (https://simpatico.io/acceptance). That page also has notes for using headless chrome to run the tests. Also, the server (lazily) caches all transforms with file watcher invalidation, disallows 3rd party cookies, and starts up instantly.

The central use case is to have a fun and fast way to play with browser code, using your favorite editor, and literate programming techniques. All while being open source, local first, and minimalist.

The repo (https://github.com/javajosh/simpatico/) is not yet npm/npx compatible so you have to fork and run. This is a local first, minimalist project that has ~2 small dependencies, which themselves have no deps, so publishing was not a priority.

Eventually I'd like to automate an md-> js process, such that the md is the canonical source for javascript and the final js is a build product. I'd also like to clean up the code and publish to npm, but sadly someone is squatting on the @simpatico handle and npm won't do anything. :(
hate to break it to you, but Spotify launched in 2008 right after the original iphone in 2007, so it's been a bit more than a decade.

Cool idea. Stuff like this reminds me why I like the vim ecosystem so much. At least since the introduction of terminal buffers, most people I know that use vim for serious code work have a form of "send text under cursor to shell"
ah, someone has reimplemented another feature of Org Mode.

Well, this will mean Org files exported to Markdown can remain executable just like they were in Emacs, so maybe this makes Org Babel more valuable as well, for those of us that prefer a structured markup language for notes and literate programming

Do you know why people in Okinawa and Sardinia have great longevity? Is it Ikigai, or living simple village life, or eating maggot infested cheese? No, it's because of lack of record keeping, specifically families keeping people "alive" to collect pensions:

Part of the issue as I understand it, is that the machine is fairly opaque as to why some failures occur can appear somewhat "flaky" as a result. When this occurs during a cleaning cycle, the whole cycle is void and a new 4 hour cycle must be run.

If the machine was clear about communicating the issue, it would be fine. It's not and can require a technician to come out with a tool to both read the machine status in detail and tweak the machine in the necessary ways to stop it being flaky.

This would all be fine except for the fact that
1. Only technicians from the manufacturer are allowed to be used.
2. Those technicians are unreasonable expensive.
3. The company could make the machines easier to diagnose and repair, but don't because repair calls are lucrative
4. Third parties can, and have, made tools that do make the machines easier to diagnose and repair without the need for a technician, but cant legally sell these solutions because it involves circumventing a digital lock (DMCA violation)
5. McD corporate has an agreement with the manufacturer to maintain this status quo in return for a kickback

> Did they expect that they would allow folks to check out other software like Photoshop at the Library?

Ominous-they would really like to disallow it. But yes, of course you should. When you get a license key that's a seat. Commercial software has been making this work forever with license servers.

Like this isn't some crazy mental model. When you buy an iPhone you bought the hardware and one indefinite transferable license to run iOS. How else should software ownership work?
There was an article somewhere about how labels fleece their artists through Spotify. So Spotify might not make that much, the artists don't, but the labels do.
Unfortunately the content is not interesting for me. Try to see the context where it fits into. The internet is full of essays where person after long period of thinking writes down explanation of consciousness with very authoritative style. This is it, this is what it means.

I think MVC is a general concept / pattern and doesn't need to be reflected exactly in order to be useful. In case of Django (and other frameworks like Phoenix), the "view" is not necessarily a template .. can be a JSON response, CBOR or something else entirely.

The notion of a "controller" is also quite flexible. It accommodates "whatever logic we need to interpret the user's request and respond with the right thing". Is everything part of the controller? Is there some kind of a domain/business logic layer as well? All up to you really.
That’s what spread betting is in the uk no?

> Spotify pays around 70% of its revenue to their artists

Nit: They pay ~70% to labels, not to artists. The artists make much less.

> The actual recording artists? “They’re keeping anywhere between 5% and a quarter.”

This is a big factor that nobody seems to be considering.

Music has been very cheap to consume for many many years.
Yes, there's probably someone somewhere listening to pirate shortwave radio broadcasts, too.

You're being pedantic. Most people do not consume FM radio as their main source of music.
Did you even do a search in youtube for "odin language"? Lots of dev influencers have covered odin, including an hour long interview the Primeagen did with GingerBill about odin.

Why is this extra completion acceptable? On Debian I install the package adb and get the udev rules with it. I just need to connect a device and run adb commands.
Except you only got to listen to a few industry approved ultra popular artists, and it was virtually impossible to ever discover unsigned or unpopular music you might personally enjoy more. About half of the music I listen to on Spotify, I only discovered because of Spotify, and isn’t popular enough that I could have ever hoped to encounter it otherwise, but it has really enriched my life, and hopefully enriched those artists a bit as well by getting another paying fan- that will now also buy lossless albums and concert tickets.

The rhetoric has been equally flaming from Trump's self-declared enemies. Just a couple of years ago Democrats were telling pollsters they supported internment camps for their enemies:

https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/par...

> Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

> Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Such a policy would be opposed by a strong majority (71%) of all voters.

That's a demand for internment camps. One famous academic went further and said it'd be fine to engage in mass starvation:

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/noam-chomsky-says-the-un...

The US needs to cool down the rhetoric on both sides, because it's an endless spiral of escalation right now. Trump isn't uniquely bad at this and the "slippery slope" was already slid a long way down, when he wasn't in charge.
Async code is not incompatible with blocking one, in Rust it's quite straightforward to make the two interoperate: calling a blocking code from async is donne with spawn_blocking and the reverse (async from blocking code) is done with block_on.
Rotation can be described as a vector, pointing along the axis of rotation. You could imagine writing down the vectors for all of the objects in a planetary system, and doing some kind of statistics on the numbers to see if there was a preference for a particular axis. You could use a sign convention such as the right hand rule.

The rotation vector is associated with another, which is angular momentum. The reason why there's all kinds of spinny stuff in a solar system, or a galaxy, is that the massive objects jointly conserve the total angular momentum of the blob of dust that the system coalesced from.

Neutrinos are another beast, they have a preference for one direction of their spin quantum number:

https://neutrinos.fnal.gov/mysteries/handedness/

In fact you could use the spin of neutrinos to say that the sign convention for rotation is not arbitrary.
Annoying until you learn to disable it or learn what it is good for and how to configure it so that it will work for you.

It's annoying because it's a change in system that you are familiar with and you can trip on it you if you are not familiar with it, not because it is not useful or great challenge to configure right.

At least my local public library has hundreds of CD-ROMs of Mac and Windows software (mostly from the 1990s when boxed software was still standard) that you can check out. Granted, I can imagine that's the sort of thing that will get "weeded" in a decade or so when the library needs space and they see this old software as being worthless.
I don't get why to use an ORM in the first place. Just define a bunch of structs, run a query, map results to structs. It's a few lines of simple code. You're in control of everything (the SQL, the running, the mapping). It's transparent. With any ORM, you give away control and make everything more complex, only to make it slightly easier to run a query and map some results.
Let me try this, should I keep on doing this again and again or after a gap of few hours/days?
It's wild what a reign the anti-digitization forces have had.

The law keeps contorting itself into knots to entrench specific versions of the past. The Aereo lawsuit comes to mind as wildly anti-civilian, concocted to make the legal regime as tall and wide as possible. It's just so sad that legalism and Terms of Service feel like they are in a race to remain bigger than technology & possibility, to keep things the same.

The worldwide radio market revenue is about $35B/yr. I think that’s larger than the audio streaming market; the reference point I found for that was $25B/yr.

Granted, not all radio is music (nor is streaming), but (assuming I didn’t get the research wrong) radio is larger, making it at least slightly weird to call it a pedantic argument that the larger of the two markets even exists as a source of music for people.
I thought it was actually this when I saw it on mastodon.

>not by US invitation to join them, but rather by Russian neighbours seeking an alliance to finally rid themselves of the threat.

How would one differentiate between "Russian neighbours seeking an alliance" and "Russian neighbours seeking an alliance because they were promised something in return"?

And even in this case: why would Russia care about the reasons? From russian point of view there was a promise: NATO won't grow any further east. The promise was broken.

Had NATO refused adding new members to its ranks - there would be no problem.

They really aren't. Anything signed will load, whether you download it from the App Store or not.

Yes, there are some extra steps involved in loading unsigned programs, and the process is designed to make it sound a bit scary. I think that's the right tradeoff, reasonable people may differ.

But we're talking about the App Store vs. not-the-App-Store, and again, there is nothing which could reasonably be described as a restriction involved in installing the same binary from either of those sources. The only difference is the details of where it comes from and how to install it, and clicking on a dmg or pkg is still a fully-supported workflow with no warnings or other interference.
It's not a black or white thing. Good ORMs let you use plain old SQL when needed.
