Labour is the largest expense in almost any enterprise. Being able to cut down on this is a low hanging fruit for reducing costs and improving margins.
I've long used old iPhones as MP3 players and have been quite happy with the US $3 app Cs Music Pro. I would prefer an actual MP3 players with hardware controls, but I haven't found one and it's hard for me to justify the price difference for a dedicated device.

> I can only speak for myself, but if I truly believed he would end democracy in a few short years I'd be doing whatever I could to stop it

We did do whatever we could to stop it. We tried every avenue available.

We tried impeachment twice, but he was protected by his party. The first time they protected him for extorting a bribe from a foreign government. The second time they protected him for inciting an insurrection. We tried the DOJ but he was protected by a federal judge he appointed, and supreme court justices two of which he appointed granted him sweeping immunity from prosecution. We tried to constitutionally disqualify him from running on the basis he incited an insurrection, but again he was protected by judges he appointed. Our last recourse was to run on a pro-democracy candidate during the election but the people rejected her.

So we tried everything. But the election was fair. He won. That's that. We tried everything else, and anyway at this point it's too late without resorting to a violent coup, which supporters of democracy won't do. There are no other pro-democratic avenues left to protect democracy from Trump. Sucks it turned out this way, but at least you can't say you weren't warned.

It’s important to think not in terms of success or failure, but in terms of philosophy and mistakes. If you’re focused on the outcome there isn’t much you can improve on, the reasons for failure are many. Mistakes on the other hand stem from flaws in your philosophy, which you can readily revise. In a lot of the cases presented here, the mistake that stands out is working with the wrong people.
To be fair, every commercial competitor (like Rekordbox and Traktor) also supports mapping MIDI devices that are not officially supported.

But in my experience, you'll never be able to control the jogwheel as precisely as in officially-supported hardware-software combo.
That's a really good question and of concern to a lot of people. No one knows at this point but the concern is that the new administration will kill the program or at a minimum modify/restrict it.
I am not an immigration lawyer, but I am very interested in immigration law and the effort to overturn this precedent in particular, an interest whch goes back more than 15 years; so I have done a lot of reading on this argument.

The whole phrase about 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' refers to the fact that foreign diplomats (and often, their families) are not subject to the jurisdiction of their countries of residence, a concept known as diplomatic immunity. This sometimes leads to people with diplomatic privileges avoiding legal consequences that would otherwise result in fines or custodial sentences, as in this recent case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Harry_Dunn

Regular, not-diplomatic people of foreign origin who are in the US are subject to the jurisdiction of US courts like anyone else. I have never found any legal justification for the opposite view other than the intense desire of the proponent for things to be different. Usually people who want to sweep aside this precedent rely on an 18th century book called The Law of Nations by Swiss legal theorist Emer Vattel, which opts for a concept of de jure (naturalized) citizenship rather than jus soli (of the soil) citizenship as exists here and in some other countries. They argue that it was a very popular book in its day and that Washington, Jefferson, and other founders of the US had certainly read it. when asked why they didn't just write this into the Constitution you usually get a hand-wavey answer about how it was so obvious they didn't see any need (at best) or the person just stops responding or gets mad (at worst).
Let's face it. If you get frustrated, either you get paid enough to put up with the nonsense, or you don't. If you do, you can stick around. If you don't, you will move on, but just don't repeat the loop.
I think I've found my peace. I'm 24, planning to live my entire life without long term relationships, so I don't have to worry about responsibilities to others. I live in Europe so theoretically retirement is not a death sentence, but if it gets too difficult I can always kill myself. One advantage of this life is that it becomes quite easy to save money when you don't have pointless expenses. So far I am very happy and stress free.
Writing scripts in rust is as easy as copying and pasting this shebang: https://neosmart.net/blog/self-compiling-rust-code/

I think Musk called pg a retard and released the right-wings trolls on him by doing so after pg pushed back on Musk's UK interference when he shared a UK poll showing a dislike for Musk across party lines. He's stated his preference for Kamala over Trump on multiple occasions ("I don't agree with xyz, but on the whole Trump is worse." being the gist of it). Right-wing trolls also went after him after this anti-woke essay, claiming he was late to the party. though he had been consistent on that point for quite some as well.
Well he's not really offering solutions in his article here. He describes seeking a marriage as a barter market, which is a statement of fact. To find a spouse you need a coincidence of wants (i.e. you're both looking for the same thing, you both have it offer each other).

Even in other systems like arranged marriages, it's still a market. Except rather than the prospective spouses making the decisions, it's someone else.
The rest of this persons feed is jam-packed with ludicrously pretentious photos of people posing in expensive clothing in ways clearly carefully chosen to appear spontaneous, uploaded to the internet for attention. The irony.

The video was originally posted on X, and can still be viewed here: https://x.com/VictorTaelin/status/1881392823246729640

It's about the use of interaction nets, which gives an optimal evaluation strategy for the lambda calculus. I'm not an expert on it, but from my understanding it allows extensive sharing of computation across different instances of an enumerative search.

Parallelism of the computation is another big selling point, except modern hardware design is not well suited for the calculus. The author of the video recently tried to get the system to work well on GPUs and ran into issues with thread divergence. I think their current plan is to build some sort of cluster of Mac Minis due the good performance of the CPUs on that platform.

If this computation paradigm advances far enough and shows enough promise, I would expect to see companies start to prototype processors tailor made for interaction nets.
Those with no failures never tried. Now I'm the complete opposite of someone who would usually say that but I believe it to be true. Failure at things is ok, it's just part of doing stuff. Just like death is an outcome of life. Anyone who tells you they have never failed either hasn't ever tried anything or is a liar and protecting their ego. It's ok to admit you made mistakes or failed or that you don't know something.
Far be it from me to defend GWB, but in fairness he didn't invade them because they were muslim. There were many (poor) reasons for the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, but their primary religion was not among them. If it were, many other Middle Eastern countries would have also been invaded.

Words are not more important than actions. But words can inform us of the intentions behind the actions - which must be considered when casting judgement.

The usual suggestion is to build cities more like Berlin (for example) which has an inner city with many 4-6 storey buildings — much denser than London's terraced houses, but without the isolation of skyscrapers.
I guess this is a "oh Twitter got bought and TikTok got shutdown for a day, so we need a free Twitter/TikTok that wouldn't have any of these problems" response?

It's a pretty inane article that provides no solutions. Twitter got bought and TikTok got made because attention is valuable. There's ads/enshittification because a service like this is expensive to run, also you want to raise money for new features, also greed is a thing.

TFA wrestles with none of this? At least like, consider nationalization or some kind of nationalized e2e platform. Aren't we wishcasting after all?
1) lots of people write like that; it's become a bit of a trend

It wasn't an accident. Near as I can tell there is a not-insignificant part of the American psychological context that amounts to a threat of utter destitution should you not choose to keep slaving away. By Krom, America needs homeless people to show you just how far you can fall unless you keep serving the man.
Biden hasn’t been convicted of felonies. He’s not an adjudicated rapist. He doesn’t refer to his daughter as a nice piece of ass. He isn’t banned from running a charity. He hasn’t bribed any porn stars. He hasn’t accepted $30 billion in bribes. He hasn’t taken secret documents to illegally keep in his bathroom. He hasn’t met with Putin alone without an interpreter or any other U.S. official present. He hasn’t made fun of a reporter’s disability. He didn’t appoint his son-in-law to be an advisor who then accepted bribes from Saudi Arabia. He hasn’t engaged in Twitter feuds with 15 year old kids from Sweden. He didn’t threaten to withhold disaster aid to states that didn’t vote for him.

Nothing I’ve said against Trump is about his politics. He, as a person, is narcissistic, self centered, selfish, boorish, infantile, incurious, lustful, and greedy. He’s a despicable person and those who support him are terrible people.

That's arguing that you can just seen an RNG with the current time and use a PRNG as your randomness source - a whitener can't give you randomness out which isn't there to start with.

In the above, fairly extreme case, the risk should be obvious: if someone has a decent guess on what the uptime of your system is, and knows you're doing this, then the search space to crack certificates can be made accessibly small.

Like if you know see a certificate with a Valid From date of say, January 1, 2025 but you know the service definitely wasn't running on January 1, 2024, then by guessing what the PRNG is you've constrained your search space to 1704027600 through 1735650000. So the issue isn't whether the numbers you emit are distinct - it's that an adversary can make it suitably likely that they can produce colliding RSA keys themselves anyway (and remember, they get unlimited attempts at this - they only have to succeed once).

EDIT: And while you can certainly argue that they couldn't predict the exact noise environment of say, your server room, it's also not impossible to model which also might constrain the search space enough to accessible. It's not "haha! we know your every move" it's just making the problem space small enough to brute force.
New Zealand took away local control over land development, and then promptly elected a right-wing central government that hates land development. :/
> So, there is no compact that will create the feeling of safety and fulfillment that this article wishes for. Just money.

Money is the best freedom buyer. Don't trust anyone who says "Money doesn't buy happiness". That's rich-people propaganda to keep the rest of us dependent.

As Lucy Liu said in a fantastic interview: Do everything in your power to accumulate fuck you money as early as possible. Because then you can say No.

Even a few months of buffer is enough to buy lots of wellbeing. Having FIRE money is obviously even better.

My wishlist for ROCm support is actually supporting the cards they already released. But that's not going to happen.

By the time an (consumer) AMD device is supported by ROCm it'll only have a few years of ROCm support left before support is removed. Lifespan of support for AMD cards with ROCm is very short. You end up having to use Vulkan which is not optimized, of course, and a bit slower. I once bought an AMD GPU 2 years after release and 1 year after I bought it ROCm support was dropped.

On the other hand, long-term planning is susceptible to disruption and unforeseen events, and when we have long-term government plans they have a way of taking on a life of their own and defending themselves even if they have outlived their usefulness.

Everything has trade-offs.
Adjudications vary considerably from land crossing to land crossing and from airport in Canada to airport in Canada but as a very general rule, it's easier to get a TN through CBP at a land crossing or airport than through USCIS but this also depends in part on specific TN occupation being applied under and the applicant's background. It's rare but not unheard-of for CBP to deny entry to a Canadian with an approved TN petition. Again, the risk varies by land crossing and airport with Pearson probably the worst and to be avoided if there's any concern.
> Growing up, I had two major life ambitions: to become a tenured university professor, and to found a successful startup company.

why the hell those two?

I eventually - into my thirties- worked out that i wanted to be a good computer programmer, and a good photographer. managed the first, but not the tatter - two bored.

What I mean, is why did you have those ambitions growing up. I don't think most normal young people really can't think what they want to do until later in their lives.
Most people agree with you until the moment they actually have to decide between further treatment and likely death. Most people simply hold on until they have no choice but to die.
What we've seen in Ukraine is the trend towards autonomous aerial/naval drones.

Not sure whether that's the correct way but it seems to work.
AFAICT, there is no "now_playing" field in the sqlite db - but tracks that start playing are added to the `PlaylistTracks` table. That means that if you started two tracks and then pause one or the other and restart it, no row will be added. Only adding a track from the library and then playing it will add to the PlaylistTracks list.

(Is there a simpler solution I missed?)

import sqlite3
import time
from pathlib import Path
home = Path.home()

con = sqlite3.connect(f"{home}/.mixxx/mixxxdb.sqlite")
cur = con.cursor()

def get_track_name():
global cur
trackid = cur.execute("SELECT * FROM PlaylistTracks WHERE id=(SELECT max(id) FROM PlaylistTracks);").fetchall()[0][2]
trackname = cur.execute(f"SELECT * FROM library WHERE id={trackid};").fetchall()[0][2]
return trackname

now_playing = get_track_name()
print(now_playing)

while True:
if (np := get_track_name()) != now_playing:
now_playing = np
print(np)
time.sleep(1)

This.

It reminds me of the average “indie hacker” mentality: just move to Bali and live off $2-3k.

The problem is that it just doesn’t work once you are past a certain age, and suddenly have “adult life”: parter, kids, aging parents.

I’d love to life a “little life”. Read books with my partner, drink coffee in the morning while watching the birds. The problem is that one small unlucky event, like being laid off, or someone you love getting sick, and it can all snowball into oblivion.

And the realistic thing to accept is that money solves a lot of problems. And in order to make enough of it, one should forgo the luxury if “little life” to some extent.
The masochists are all too happy to do something the hard way in perpetuity. But they are in the smart-industrious quadrant and they will burn up man-hours like no tomorrow. Their goal is to fill a week not get stuff done.

You can be the person who jumps on the tedious tasks and that’s fine - as one personality in a diverse team. I worked on a project with all super senior people who never wanted to do any tedious work, ever. Over the course of a year the project started to more and more resemble Second System Syndrome, as each dev contributed an “engine“ or “framework” to perform Task Golf and never write any boring code. That’s just as bad as all masochists.

But a masochist that insists everyone else experience pain too is now a sadist. And from a progress standpoint that’s probably the worst monoculture to have.

I hope to solve it through the healthy lifestyle: diet, exercises, sleep, outdoor time, stress management, so I will be healthy and active for a long time until some organ suddenly fails, so I won't spend money on medical care which observes my slowly fading body while giving some not necessary helpful treatment.
"there’s a pervasive myth that has seeped into every corner of our current reality claiming that in order to have a meaningful life, we’re told that worth is measured in titles, achievements, and the scope of our influence. "

The formerly most pervasive myth in my culture required that in order to live a good life we should strive to treat others well.

Not many did it but it seems a good aspiration, to base my self-esteem on how I treat others rather than on how they view me.
Wow. That's so nice to hear. Thanks!
That's definitely true, and I think it's good you realize it so young.

It's inherent because of the diminishing returns for aggressive healthcare intervention. We're all going to die. We could ramp up the costs of intervention to arbitrary levels in a final death spasm, but we will still die. So, we have to strike some kind of balance.

The harder part, I think, is thinking about the decades leading up to that final end game. How do you trade off quality of life in different decades by saving and time-shifting some of your spending power into the future. It's not just medical costs but all the other aspects of life which carry a mix of predictable and unpredictable costs.

I think you're still conflating two different concepts, but this is mostly natural at this point since I assume you program in languages that use 0-based indexing. 1-based indexing focuses on the conceptual sequence rather than the underlying implementation details. Even your matrix flattening example is conflating concepts, although that's "normal" at this point. 0-based indexing certainly lends itself nicely to interval arithmetic, I agree.

I'm not sure if I missed a point you were getting at with this? Lua array table indexes start at 1.
