I'm the same, but with Deezer, the Deemix downloader and Plexamp.
I agree fully, but there’s more than that. It’s just bad marketing! Like, don’t conjure this image into people’s heads when thinking about your product! It seems like they care more about making some juvenile point about how offensive words shouldn’t be a problem rather than the popularity of their thing.

Just find some name that conjures some pretty image like ”GNU Constellation” or whatever and be done with it.

I’m not really into politics, but I always thought one of the main arguments of libertarians was that you don’t need government mandated social programs because people would help each other out on their own. So maybe it still is a libertarian design?
You can imagine why naming a software "Mission Control" in dev ops is so infuriating for people who actually work in actual space or satellite mission control.
Yes the proper way to do that is execve, not by changing global variables in your parent process. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/execve.2.html

Any ideas for a better reddit?
The interesting thing here would be to find out what "basically" means in that context.
Yet, that's how you sustain your job, get promoted and have more responsibility over time – large number of people don't seem to get this simple fact that your customer is whoever pays your salary and it's your job to make them happy.

It could be as well called “doing your job”. “Shipping” your job/work doesn’t seem like a stretch - especially that definition is clearly stated in the article. It’s also nice play of words that emphasises the fact that many people seem to get the rules of this game wrong.
>The volume of music available for an average person anywhere in the world to purchase today is many orders of magnitude greater than any era in the past.

You are 100% correct. But not for the reasons you imply. Music recording is just barely 120 years old, and mass market music media sales are, perhaps 75-80 years old.

And since many of those recordings are still around, with more music being recorded every year, it's no wonder there's more music available now than there ever has been.

That said, Sturgeon's Law[0] applies to music as well as everything else.

Yes. And pilots are harder to replace than planes. The manual will say "if in doubt, punch out". Being in doubt is the issue: should he have been able to figure out he was safe in the time it took to eject? There is the question, and it is a question of training, not moral character.

Once wanted to found an IT consulting company (essentially the German #Linux IRC channel) with sophisticated knowledge management software. Investors said consulting does not scale, so created a SaaS startup (and failed, we should have done the consulting without investment, not be lured by the money).
The author's surprise, I would even dare to say bafflement, about the ads choices are hinged on a believe in a form meritocracy. People facing concequences for their deliberate (in)actions. Hence helping the dyslexic is valourous while the lazy or inattentive less so.

If however your ethics are based on equality of outcome, then that distiction does not hold. You do not see any problem with the lazy or incompetent getting the same result as anybody else. In fact, you would regard any other outcome as unethical.

From the latter beleive system, these Apple ads make perfect sense.
Update: F-Secure via DeepGuard allows defining "rules", which allow/deny file access for specific processes and files. Looks like a nice tool.
Again, a very easy judgement to make when you’re not the one strapped to the rocket in what the documents describe as “challenging conditions” as your displays you were flying after go dark.

He only had “basically working” comms, which seems to suggest that it too was degraded, and the instruments referred to as being available is just the tiny artificial horizon display in front of his right knee.
Yes, but I am talking more about non-sensitive roles.

Eg. Businesses with cash handling functions may be willing to pay to find out if potential hires have gambling activity recorded (in addition to the usual credit and criminal activity checks).
It would be easy to cut it down to a shorter runtime. This wasn't what OP was talking about though.
> Or maybe they're mad that there's no more free lunch. Asking NATO to pay their fair share was fair.

It was never a free lunch, this transactional mindset is ignorant, the USA benefitted tremendously from NATO both financially as through immense soft and hard power stemming from it. Repeating this platitude shows you don't understand that.

> The piece de resistance was when Europeans laughed when Trump asked them to spend more on defense only to be caught entirely off guard when Ukraine was invaded.

Probably you need to be reminded: who tried to blackmail Ukraine to dig dirt on a political opponent otherwise military support would be cut? Trump had all the cards to play and make the 2022 invasion impossible if Ukraine had the equipment and support against Russia in the initial Donbas invasion.

The piece de resistance is right that: Trump only thinks transactionally, damned be the consequences, the consequence of throwing Ukraine under the bus for dirt on Hunter Biden was emboldening Russia to invade again in 2022.

Draft FAQ: Why does the C++ standard ship every three years? (2019)
There's a balance to strike between convenience and robustness. Even a legal identity can be stolen, and countries have broad authority to regulate national TLDs and could make owning one just as robust as owning property. The core of an OIDC token is "iss" (issuer e.g. https://accounts.google.com) and "sub" (subject i.e. unique immutable ID e.g. 1234567890). Is that really different from a passport which has at it's core a nation ("iss") and number ("sub")? Sure there's other stuff like names and pictures, but OIDC tokens can have those too.

Having backups is key. The only difference is legal ID's can be backed up without registering the backups with each service ahead of time. Perhaps this could be engineered into OIDC too: a backup field with hashes of other OIDC tokens or something.

> use of weapons with wide-area effects in densely populated areas […]
Israel has in the past said it […] takes steps to mitigate risk to civilians by using precise munitions.

A JDAM guiding 2-5000 pounds of high explosives and used to level a densely-populated housing complex on to the head of one man is both precise AND of (very) wide area effect, but really stretches the definition of “mitigat[ion]”.

How many cores do your CPUs have? Are you using the 64 core EPYC 9334 mentioned in the linked page? Do that many cores provide a speedup versus having fewer cores?
Trained and capable seaman were very valuable. It took many years to train someone in the proper functioning of the ship, and given that many raw recruits were typically whomever was rounded up on the streets of Portsmouth at midnight, the quality of the input varied wildly. I'm fairly confident the British navy had huge difficulty manning their ships properly.

The captain being the last person off a sinking ship is a naval version of "lead from the front". The captain going down with the ship is a probable consequence of following that ideal.

Thinking America isn’t directly effected by expansionist aggression into Europe really seems to be one of those “doomed to repeat” lessons of history.

You missed two months of payment and you are angry that a company closed the account? Boy do I have to tell you a story about what you can lose by not paying your AWS bill for two months… I am curious how you handle customers that do not pay and continue to not pay instead of just ending their subscription.
Difficulty has almost nothing to do with it. It's about volume. Baking a loaf of bread is not particularly difficult either. But unless you plan to bake many loaves of bread, it is almost certainly neither cheaper nor faster to do so yourself, even if you have experience baking bread. Bakeries also have profit margins, and that changes nothing. All companies make a profit. That doesn't mean they are fleecing you.

Do you make your own clothes? Certainly it must be cheaper to do it yourself rather than buy a shirt from a company, right? Because they have their profits to worry about. Does every city have its own manhole cover factory? Why not? Certainly it must be cheaper to build your own manhole cover factory (forging manhole covers is not a hard problem, after all) rather than pay a company to do it. After all, the manhole cover company is burdened by profit motive, and the city is not.

Repeat ad nauseam.

It might make sense for a product that is hard to patch due to a more complex manufacture to drain supplies before updating. For a security product that is known to be vulnerable it is not forgivable to keep shipping.
You're right and besides that, it's not an interesting game for them. I continued involving him using the same platform, but we made more age-appropriate games. It's easy to upload a different game over a USB cable so I could just remove the trading one and upload some other.

Some of the games we made were a quizz platform (times tables, French words etc.), a version of etch-a-sketch where they can move a cursor around, draw, and change the color, and a 2d space shooter game.

It was a good platform to introduce them to code on some of the more tangible bits such as explaining that the screen is a grid of pixels, and that hitting the move button means incrementing your position variable by a few pixels. It's also quite cool for them to be able to bring this to school and to explain how it works, both from an electrical standpoint, and for some of the simple software bits.
what came first?

Plastic or the plastic eating insect?

Discovery! does that means that someone was actaully looking for that particular plastic eating insect.

Or were they watching a random insect and suddenly noticed it was munching on plastic

Are there more plastic eating insects?

How did the plastic eating insect survive before plastic became their main source of food.

Maybe they ate wild naturally grown plastic.

I am sure the answers will come to me after my second coffee.
I was clicking the source expecting to see what kind of game Lyceum is. There is no description about the game and no images of the game.

They go further. That's why I linked to median real income. It's exactly the stat that matters: looking at the actual person in the middle of the pack (not the mean, which is distorted by outliers) and controlling for inflation using the CPI, which uses a weighted average of hundreds of different cost categories to represent typical spending. I think housing makes up like 40% of it (don't quote me on that though) so it's definitely being taken into account. Food and healthcare are also big parts. Now you may not have a typical spending profile (a lot of people in NYC spend way more than 40% on rent) but the economy is broadly doing quite well.

Why can't you buy a house? You probably could, but probably not in the location you want. This was one of the most enlightening articles I've read on why: https://goodreason.substack.com/p/maybe-treating-housing-as-...

> It is also impossible to get a lease longer than one year.

Not sure where you got this. Actually it is quite difficult to get a lease less than 2 years, and 2 years is standard term.

> SG has a reputation of having very low corruption

SG justifiably has reputation of having low corruption at low level. Middle/high level corruption is rampant, and getting worse and worse over course of last years.

This is also not true. Bars will happily pour you booze after 9PM

> After the last recession, the barriers were lifted, leading to a notable decline of use of public transport

Not sure which last recession you are referring to, but having basic car ownership at 6 digits which depreciates at least by 10k annually is not lifting barriers in my books. COE levels are all time highs. Public transport usage is crazy, MRT and buses are bloody crowded at rush hours as government trying to squeeze more slaves into tiny space.

> I was routinely refused service, despite it being illegal to do so

You are spot on. Apple does one thing very good: MacOS + Macs. But I don’t like Apple software. Too limited, too crippled, too unpredictable. And they don’t listen to users, you cannot reach out to someone and hope your feedback will change something.
The problem here is that depending on your threat model it might be important for customers to trust Yubico not to sell out against rich/powerful attackers. This behavior adds a datapoint that speaks against them, even if they are technically correct.

I do not expect a manufacturer of such hardware to be like: "Eh it is okay" when skipping the fix to their IC manufacturers fuckup saves them money, I expect them to go out of their way to protect their customers. Seen like this their refusal to replace compromised keys was already brazen, them selling compromised keys constitutes a breach of trust.

I am already researching for alternatives.
To protect the guilty, and any future books I might write on the subject, I'll leave it to your imagination.

This world police narrative is nauseating. I don't doubt NATO has economic benefits, but this is a partnership that needs to be re-examined if our partners aren't honoring agreements, don't have skin in the game, or aren't aligning with American interests/values. This is true for Europe, this is true for our allies in the middle east, and this this true for our partners in Asia.

> As for handcoded assembly, do you believe that it would be financially sound to hand code and maintain thousands of kernels that way, even if you believed that they would be faster?

Why not? We do so for cryptographic primitives and video codecs. And why are you talking about “thousands of kernels”? AI programs only need a small amount of different kernels so it doesn't sound intractable.

Not sure how they expect anyone to keep using their service with such attitude.

Perhaps it is a lock-in strategy: don’t leave or you lose months or even years of your music habits.

At the same time, both Spotify and YouTube Music keep all the data to this day.

One might argue that they free plans, so they have to keep it. And I would say “I don’t care”. If I can’t rely on your service to keep a list of songs - I am not using it.

Damn, they could utilize my iCloud account. Or allow me to export a text file with that data, so I could import it back later. But no. No money - you are screwed.
In many places I worked we would keep a user's history on the app for a long while in case they decided to resubscribe. It doesn't cost much to have a 6-12 months leeway before complete deletion.

Erasing a music app data after just a couple of months is idiotic, even more for a company with such deep pockets like Apple.
Your assumptions about the flexibility and transferability of a municipal employee's skillset are doing a lot of heavy lifting.
I stopped paying for Spotify for 3 years, didn’t login for 2 of those years, came back and my playlists were all still there.

Your whole comment boils down to ‘you should never be allowed to comment on another’s’ language use’. Which is particularly nonsensical, as you also explain how commas have other ‘valid uses’. I thought there were no rules at all! …or are there only rules sanctioned by you?

> as long as someone gets their point across, nothing else matters

This is just classic. It’s the standard boilerplate response to any criticism of bad grammar (which this is, I’m afraid). I’m not foolish enough to believe that there are God-given rules for language, but when the non-conformity adds nothing and simply makes the text more difficult to read it’s worth pointing out.

I mean, seriously, why is a comma better than any of the alternatives here? It isn’t.

I think its getting at the difference in formation (i.e. gravitational collapse vs accretion). I'm not sure you always need a parent star to form planets by accretion though, perhaps they could emerge from dust clouds spontaneously?

As I remember it there is supposed to be some gap in size between the objects produced by these two different methods, so that nothing produced by accretion can be larger than something formed by collapse. But since that gap doesn't seem to exist in practice it really looks like we are missing something.
