Replying quickly looks like you care and you already know what's going on. It also suggests that you'd be willing to have even more synchronous conversations (phone calls, trips together, etc.)

Doing it during business hours matters more than off hours outside of major deadlines or event prep.

With many organizations, if you want to give this impression and also shut down communications to focus, you need blocks of time outside of business hours where you focus. For example, I know a responsive executive who cannot be reached from 6am-9am every weekday, when most people aren't trying to get hold of him. This is when he writes and reads. Even then, his assistant fields communications so he doesn't seem to have disappeared.

Not saying you should do this or that it's for everybody.
I mean, that's an improvement in my mind over millions of insipid "BUY THIS DOMAIN!" web pages. At the least the internet would be more interesting?

But also like, then you aren't advertising it for sale. So I'm wondering how many offers you're going to get to sell that domain, which is the point of squatting it.
If you run a business you can buy the domain for 10 years, right?
> Companies register all kinds of crazy domains and redirect you through them all the time

That's the real problem with domain trust these days. Companies go out of their way to make sure you know to only visit official links, and then do stupid stuff like buying vanity domains for one-time deals, or make you click through mailchimp tracking URLs because marketing tracking is more important than your customers falling for phishing. Those vanity domains then end up expiring, and now emails and web links that used to go to an official $brand server are all ready to be swooped up by scammers. Customers never stood a chance.

This isn't a TLD problem. It's a shitty company problem.
With perfect pitch, you save yourself the five dollars for a tuning fork. In my forty years of experience as a musician, I have yet to encounter any other benefit.
Right, didn’t send.
My primary catch-all email domain for accounts is at a silly TLD (.rodeo).

My biggest complaint is that some large retailers/services completely refuse to believe it is a valid domain. (I'm looking at you, Walgreens. You blocked me during a pandemic from signing up for a vaccine with my actual email address, which is why fuckwalgreens@myother.domain is now my email in your system.)
As an owner of a UAD Octo and plenty of their plugins, but also lots of analogue hardware [1], including valve based compressors, EQs, and distortion units that are emulated by UAD. The plugins still aren’t there.

Especially for anything that needs harmonic distortion. I get the impression they use regular random number generators for some of the random variance, rather than trying to emulate the physicality of a valve. They just don’t quite have the mojo. For some things it doesn’t matter, but often music production is about a 1% improvement here, a 1% improvement there, which sums up to a lot. It’s still easier to get those wins with hardware. Like ‘mojo’ is the default setting.

A really good example is the Chandler Curve Bender [2]. I have the real hardware. A new one will cost you £6,700 - so it would be insane to buy one when UAD have a plugin version for £179. I have the plugin too. The plugin is my favourite digital EQ. It sounds great. But the hardware does things that the plugin just doesn't touch. The hardware is all discrete circuits (with massive transistors). I think the slight latency shift between the left and right channels gives a 3D-ness to the sound that the plugin doesn't even attempt. Anyway, this demo [3] really shows what it can do and why hardware is still in the game.

In many areas plugins are good enough, I tend to use the plugins for more precision and to have similar curves to the hardware, but there’s still a ways to go to until there’s parity with the hardware.

That doesn’t mean you need the hardware, plenty of successful artists use digital alone. Just it’s still easier to get ‘the good stuff’ with hardware.

Bibi, upon being convicted for corruption, tried to reform the Israeli judiciary (which led to mass protests) to cement himself in power right before the attacks last year. Now Israelis kowtow to him and blindly follow his lead. How convenient!
> Progress is largely based on narratives. They're the stories we tell ourselves to stay focused, motivated, and aligned. The narrative doesn't have to be true, it just needs to be a convincing story grounded in some reality (as it would seem).

The "some reality" phrase is not needed. This is exactly how all human faiths and religions developed.
> It's martial law because your basic freedom of movement within the country was abridged without a trial or legal proceeding or any crime

You're describing a suspension of habeus corpus, not martial law. (And even then, not accurately. Curfews have customarily been enacted for short periods of time without being considered a violation of due process.)

I'm surprised to learn that Perl is still used. Obviously there will always be legacy code to maintain but these days I can't even remember the last time Perl was mentioned in casual conversation amongst my peers unless we're sharing war stories from the 90s.

These days when we find ourselves needing to write a script our first go-to would be bash, and if we need more features or if it's going to be complex enough to have to worry about maintenance costs we'd probably reach for python.

TIL that there is a non-profit foundation that focuses, in part, on supporting Perl. That surprises me to the same extent that I would be surprised to learn that there is a foundation aimed at supporting VB6 (though now watch someone is going to share that there is).
- It shows absolute pitch is not necessarily limited solely to semitone identification

Why would it be? There's nothing fundamental about a semitone. It's an arbitrary division that varies across different musical systems.
That's not how most squatting pages are sold. They are registered for sale in places like NameCheap and you can see it directly when you search for domains.
That was the policy intention in the 70s. Prop 13 plus zoning most land area for SFH ensured that boomer property owners could get rich. Back then it wasn't clear just how rich, though.
I don't know why you're getting so much pushback... Planetary resources are finite. If you give up dying, you have to give up reproducing beyond the replacement rate. People like to imagine they'll be part of some small tribe of a lucky few immortals, but the reality is we'd be in exactly the same situation as today, but with a population rapidly screeching beyond all known sustainable limits far faster than it is today. To name just one obvious problem.

Success of something like this entails a way to regulate reproduction at a far more draconian level than even China's one-child policy. I don't think any civilized nation could impose a "no child" policy and remain intact.
It's not bizarre at all, if you assume a consumerist or marginal+consumer sovereign economy then after years of phone releases making cuts to whatever buzzword some group cares about eventually anything they buy will be worth less than whatever they already own, after that all it takes is someone pointing them to a old device.

Are you just saying it's bizarre that we live in a consumerist economy? Or are you saying that you think we live in a capitalist economy with people brainwash by capitalists into a consumerist culture? Or are you just acting like a naive purist who thinks that art isn't economically motivated?
Personally I think the head of Vecna https://www.rpglibrary.org/articles/storytelling/headofvecna... is the ultimate head transplant story.
Yeah, I wondered that, too. That line might be referring to the handful of people whose parents were tech enthusiasts who went to midnight launches of the first iPhones and were born at roughly the same time. A very small group.
The need to scale is inevitable if you consider 2 trends: startups have become mainstream and the internet is orders of magnitude bigger. When YC applications consisted mostly of PG essay readers the chance of success per company was higher. Also some niche ideas can now work because of a more developed communications infrastructure, easy payments, better targeting, etc.

And knowing which companies are high quality is almost impossible at the early stages.
Are you confusing mixing and mastering, maybe? I just said that I don't MIX to different targets. I create the best mix I can, checking phase to mono every step of the way, then I deliver my mix to a mastering engineer who will create a master for digital as well as a master for vinyl. The vinyl master will sometimes be more agressively summed to mono in the bass if we're dealing with too much information in that registry. My point is you don't have to mix to different formats if your mix is good. Good mastering engineers and lacquer cutters will sort the rest for you! Maybe we just misunderstood eachother?

What if death is just a 'feature' of how life evolved in this planet? What if we discover life in other planets that are just endless? It just seems too anthropocentric to think that all forms of life must die.

Ok, that maybe part of how 'WE' define life, but, for me, that looks a lot like an arbitrary definition.

I'd rather have the dirty history than the clean one. It seems really useful to have a record of an approach that didn't work, to save others from trying it again.

To see a "clean" history, I can always use log options like git's -first-parent. It works great and doesn't delete history.
Understanding the Financials of the Perl and Raku Foundation
I think it’s more likely we can preserve our ego rather than our consciousness. For instance, create an AI replica of yourself that accurately behaves the same way you do. Although you would be dead, your ego can carry on living and responding to changes in the external world, and people could have interactions with you that accurately simulate how you would respond to them long after you’re gone. And as your ego learns about the world, it develops opinions closely similar to opinions you would have based on your life experience. Perhaps in this way people in power could remain in power indefinitely.
> For her birthday, my daughter received a toy digital camera that instanly printed photos on thermal receipt paper.

I got one of those recently. Immensely gratifying to have the photo printed immediately (even if all the tourists in London look at you funny.) Wish the camera was a little better but then again it's probably not worth it given you're printing relatively lo-res B&W dithered output...

I would say Davis's definition of "objectively better" here is "nobody who reads these poems carefully could possibly conclude that this AI crap is better than Walt Whitman, the only explanation is Walt Whitman is so difficult that the raters didn't read it carefully."

The Nature paper is making a bold and anti-humanist claim right in the headline, laundering bullshit with bad data, without considering how poorly-defined the problem is. This data really is awful because the subjects aren't interested in reading difficult poetry. It is entirely appropriate for Davis, as someone who actually is interested in good poetry, to make a qualitative stand as to what is or isn't good poetry and try to define the problem accordingly.
Yes. I have long believed that all those who applaud death as a good thing — Steve Jobs most memorably in his address at Stanford — will be first in line for life extension once it becomes an option.
This isn't about knowledge but ability. There are guides to build a lathe from scratch in your back yard using scrap metal. You can't do that with semi conductors.
Nobody wants to live in city centers anymore. It is too expensive, filled with car traffic and parking lots, and the restaurants and cafes are only open during business hours. Weekends you can barely even find a restroom, much less a place to sit down and enjoy a quiet moment. Cars have ruined them. Honking, loud exhausts, horrible thumping music coming from rattling trunks make the place horrible.

Until we get cars out of them, reduce parking minimums, and reduce restrictive zoning, city centers are just going to suck.
Unfortunately, .io is now also unsafe with the upcoming transfer away from the UK; another cautionary tale for those considering not getting a .com.

Right. This is politics. Martial law would have meant the judiciary is irrelevant.

> It is odd however that the U.S. government escalates in Ukraine, there is a new color revolution in Georgia (the country adjacent to Russia), the Syrian rebels launch a major attack and now this. All of this "coincidentally" makes Trump's peace efforts more difficult.

Escalating in Ukraine (against Russia), launching a major attack against Assad (a Russian ally) and an upcoming revolution against an (allegedly) pro-Russian government in Georgia all seem to fit into a pattern. This SK-thing seems to divide from that pattern and I’d say it is domestic until proven otherwise.
If anything, those other small stabs against Russia will aid negotiations as Russias global influence will be weakened by multiple small fires, some of which western allies can put out more easily.
Hi! I wanted to add some context to our project. Q-Flow was born from developers out of the lessons we learned while building a proprietary payments platform that connected businesses to payment providers worldwide. During that journey, we saw firsthand how much strain developers faced from having to build "necessary evil" services that supported the platform.

From navigating complex infrastructure tasks to handling security, compliance, and endless integration work, the demands were relentless. The cognitive load drained talent and time that could have been spent on fostering real innovation and adding business value.

We noticed a recurring pattern over our careers: every new project required rebuilding the same foundational platform services—event handling, webhooks, integrations (to name but a few)—over and over again. These tasks were critical but rarely reusable, making the business reluctant to invest heavily into them and forcing us into a cycle of repetition and working on services no one really wanted to touch.

That experience shaped our vision for Qala. We wanted to create the technical freedom to focus on what truly matters: solving meaningful problems and delivering value. Qala is our answer—a low code suite of reusable, scalable platform services that handle the heavy lifting. Q-Flow is the start of this journey!

If you see a phishing link, you can perform a DNS A record request to find their IPs, typically behind Cloudflare. You can report them to Cloudflare. Their WHOIS record will tell you who their registrar is, and again you can report them there too. If they use URL shorteners, you can report those.
I view death as the saviour of democracy and the most democratic aspect of life.

Without death, our fragile democracies will die. Tyrants will be in power forever.
You’re answering a slightly different question but to me that’s a Debian packaging problem to solve. It’s weird to me that QEMU devs take this problem seriously enough to be putting in all sorts of workarounds to support old versions of the toolchain in the tip of tree just to privilege Debian support.

This feels more like a CI thing for the QEMU project and I’m sure solvable by using rustup or a trusted deb repo that makes the latest tool chain available on older Debian platforms.

As for Debian itself, for toolchains it really should do a better job back porting more recent versions of toolchains (not just Rust) or at least making them available to be installed. The current policy Debian is holding is really difficult to work with and causes downstream projects to do all sorts of workarounds to make Debian builds work (not just for Rust by the way - this applies to C++ as well). And it’s not like this is something it’s unfamiliar with - you can install multiple JVM versions in parallel and choose a different default.

Amazing that while these insightful critiques about government and democracy appear to stand, Democracy also still appears to be nearly the best system that we've enacted to govern large bodies of people.

We suffer with inefficiency, majority tyranny, populism, short-term-itis, inequalities, and voter apathy which promotes less qualified people.

At least we usually have peaceful conflict resolution rather than firing squads. <3

In a lot of cases, older stuff is actually better by many objective criteria.

I love old tools, both hand tools and power tools.

There are many criteria by which you could judge the older tools, made in the USA, Canada, or UK, and say they are objectively better than even the highest-end tools I could buy today at Home Depot.

Thicker metal, designs which are more repairable with swappable parts, they were obviously designed to be more durable. I have a roofing square I use on the job site which is over 100 years old, and it's better than one I could buy at the store. I use a chop saw which was made in Japan in the 80's and it is going to outlast any equivalent chop saw I could buy at the store today. You can tell immediately by just using the thing that it is more durable and higher quality.

Yes, older tools lack some modern improvements like lasers or safety stops, but when it comes to reliability and durability you can't buy a brand new tool with the same quality of old tools for any price.

I don't know if the same is actually true for digicams or whatever, but things like record players or typewriters have similar qualities to what I'm talking about with tools.

Perfect pitch is in no way necessary for this. Interval listening is sufficient. The additional benefit of perfect pitch would be, that your friend would know the basic key of the tune without first playing one note on the piano. For example, I don't have perfect pitch, but I can play along with any pop song immediately, without sheet music and without knowing the piece. I just have to press a few keys on the keyboard to find the root note.
