Thanks, it has been fun to build, and got some really cool stuff coming this year :)!

We are working now on a massive upgrade for the bookshelves so we can better highlight the best books of all-time (plus by decade so you can dig into 1950s or 1990s sci-fi etc), new books, trending books, and some other cool stuff!
I have a record player with bluerooth that doesn't understand 45s exist, even though the manufacturer included the adapter; also Bluetooth drops out during quiet parts, such as those in podcasts or old radio programs or any music made prior to 1997 within reason.

So I ask: define silence. Define sleep. Because you get it wrong you have a $200 device headed for the landfill.

> SpaceX eventually abandoned this project and sold the rigs, though Gwynne Shotwell, its president and COO, said in 2023 that sea-based launches were likely to be part of the company’s future. SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment.

Is anything known why they stopped pursuing the offshore space port idea? I assume SpaceX found some significant drawbacks that weren't obvious when they bought the oil rigs just a few years ago.
That may be true if all non-stream media includes random Facebook accounts.

But it’s kind of an irrelevant point when the mainstream media got important things dead wrong. And not only dead wrong but also so poorly backed up I hesitate to even call them “journalists”. More like “gossip columnists”.

I certainly see it very differently, or I would not lose time here. Indeed here is full of makers and doers. People that did things, open source, or founded a company, or something else. Also lots of knowledgeable people. Of course, is some share of charlatans, specially in medical topics, is a show… but in general I do learn here.

I think you can “criticize” if you are not contributing, but form is important. One thing is to say “I don’t like it, you shouldn’t use it” another is “I use it, and I would love feature XY”
Certainly I do. I'd like the United States to change to a simpler and more regressive tax policy so that everyone has skin in the game. For example, eliminating all taxes in favor of a VAT or the like.
This is great. I haven't tried OpenAI or Google's Deep Research, so maybe I'm not seeing the relative crapness that others in the comments are seeing.

But for the query "what made the Amiga 500 sound chip special" it wrote a fantastic and detailed article: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-made-the-amiga-500-sou...

For me personally it was a great read and I learnt a few things I didn't know before about it.
The detail that is missing from the mathematics is that companies fairly often buy more than they sell, which is called investment. Most early companies do not go with great profit if one removes all assets from the company. Buildings, cars, equipment and so on. If a new company takes a loan as a as initial investment, they are unlikely to have profits the first taxation year to cover it, and yet they still get to remove the vat from purchases.

From that one can make an additional insight. Most companies have less money during the early investment phase, which is where they get most benefit from removing vat from purchases.

The solution we have are renewables.

Today renewables produce vastly cheaper energy than fossil fuels and are disrupting every industry that can use electrical input or batteries.

The problem is the use cases where we utilize either the density of fossil fuels or as feedstock in industrial processes.

Which brings the ”Hydrogen ladder”:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hydrogen-ladder-version-50-mi...

What we need to do is to continue scale renewables so they become cheap enough to by merit be the energy input for the hard to decarbonize fossil energy/feedstock use cases.

See fossil fuels like todays version of the piston steam engine used in for example locomotives.

It works but is inefficient and expensive to maintain compared to ICEs or gas turbines.
Considering it is documenting, in writing, things that happened, it makes sense that they decided to follow how we write things rather than how we build houses.

No, it's not a simple task at all.

Firstly, burns are a short lived control. You can burn but when it rains, the vegetation regrows.

Secondly, regular burns often promote the growth of even more flammable vegetation.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/brv.13041

And then there's the health impact on neighbouring communities.

https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2020/213/6/exceedances-nation...

And then there's the ever diminishing opportunity to conduct burns, due mostly to climate change.

Los Angeles had a ton of rain in Feb-Mar 2024 which resulted in massive fuel growth. That rain stopped in a hurry, plunging the region straight into drought.

That fuel subsequently cured over summer and became available to fire. Once it ignited, it was driven by extreme winds and there was no stopping it.

Not only was there no opportunity to conduct burns in that area, but it would've been dangerous to do so at any time due to steep terrain and risk to property.
For me, I employ presidential terms as memorable 4 year labels, much the same as Olympiads (Beijing 2008, Sydney 2000, Barcelona 1992). It’s got zero to do with (geo) political influence. The Olympiads work as point in time “beats”, while presidential terms are “long tones”. Weird memory functions.
You have provided no evidence that the fired employees provided zero productivity.

Firing thousands of people should not be the decision of one unelected man. Congress funded those agencies congress has to defund them.

Since 60 years. But they just found out today. /s

Money well spent.
This is wrong.

If i offer a service for 100 €. I have play VAT for i, typically i add these to the bill, but for the sake of simple numbers i dont.

As an example, i have following costs for offering the service:
- Materials: 20€ - i can deduct these from the VAT.
- Salaries: 60€ - i can NOT deduct these from the VAT.
- Profit: 20€ - i can NOT deduct these from the VAT.

So earning my company 100€ will have me pay (in switzerland for example 7%) approximately 6€ VAT, the 1€ i did not have to pay, must be paid by the producer of the materials. Of course you can argue that the customer pays the 6€ and my company only pays the 1€, but it's never the less always a split bill.

NGINX config language grates on me. Whyyy did they have to come up with their own config format? It is so much nicer to configure Caddy with JSON file for example. Probably would also be much easier to statically check things about the config, than having to create a parser for NGINX config (or somehow integrate NGINX' own parser maybe). Probably the best one can do is either have NGINX at some point offer alternative config that uses JSON, or have some converter from JSON to NGINX config.
Depends on the day and how much time I have but on the low end if I make everything around $20-30(aud) and high end if I order takeaway for lunch and dinner probably around $80-100(aud) though I do that rarely these days.
Yes. Absolutely. But let me dream, there is an operating system, very good integrated with a decent IDE, where youncan create applications very easily, without downloading terabytes of cuestionable libraries. I mean like in the leftpad case.
Seconding this. I get really great results from Flash 2.0 and even Pro 1.5 for some things compared to OpenAI models.

And their 2.0 Thinking model is great for other things. When my task matters, I default to Gemini.
On the other hand, if it never checked those, you would run into problems, when you rely on those being available and somehow they are not.

America needs better labor protection laws. Every other day, I see drama like this that ripples across the globe.

Fed rate has improved, inflation is rising again, and the surrounding conditions resemble those of the ZIRP era—aside from the actual rate. Meanwhile, corporations are making more profit than ever. There should be policies in place to prevent them from pulling crap like this whenever they feel like it.
Investments are completely deductible from taxes, so VAT does not matter for them. It only matters for product.

Any stock that you couldn't sell is not an investment. It is inventory and you can only deduct VAT because you will one day sell it and pay VAT on it.

Strange that elsewhere you're asking people to provide "adult arguments", but as soon as people actually provide solid arguments you immediately devolve into rants and emotions.
I have a daughter who is now five years old. Until recently, I would have certainly killed myself if she had died. Without hesitation, I would have run to the nearest bridge and jumped. Continuing without her, bearing the constant grief, would have been completely pointless.
I felt this way even after my twins, her siblings, were born. My feelings for them during their first 18 months or so were nothing compared to those for her. I knew that losing one of them would devastate me, but at least I would still have had my oldest daughter, and that's what really mattered deep down.

It's only recently, in the past six months or so, that I feel it would somehow be possible to live on even if something happened to my eldest. The reason for this is certainly that I finally love the little ones just as much as her.

I don't know if the author had other children besides the daughter he lost. If not, then I wonder where he found the strength or even reason to move on.

Yup.

And what about wealthy countries, that using those power plants? I mean there aren't many of them now, but have you been communicating with Europeans recently? Not with the privileged elites in the universities, but with the working class Europeans? There are so many complaints about energy prices that I'm afraid even there democracy can't be thwarted anymore and we'll see burners all over Europe in like 10 years from now.
> Last time i looked PHP still had no generics, and the "typesystem" is mostly a joke.

And no PHP developer cares, because neither does C and yet it's doing just fine.

> PHP still coerces strings to ints and vice versa.

Which is great for beginners, because they don't need to worry about it, unlike me when I program in Rust and have to deal with 8+ number types.

> PHP still has serious bugs with its (only) collection, the frankenstein ARRAY.

So does JavaScript, yet it's not enough to stop the language.

There is some odd behavior if you try to do certain things in a functional style that is actually true.

> PHP still had no unicode in 2023, im not sure how the latest version fixed this or not. IIRC you had to use the weird mb_real functions to get anything closely functional, and it was a mess.

That can get annoying in some use cases, I have developed many international web apps in PHP, it rarely got in my way, but I do acknowledge that it's not great to not have Unicode by default, I suspect they are afraid to resolve this after seeing what happened with Python 3.
2/3 of all global investment in the energy sector is going to renewables and storage.

It is happening, but only started to truly kick off on its own in the past couple of years.

Given the lifespan of grid generation assets even a 3% increase in electricity mix per year will lead to near 100% renewable penetration when it reaches saturation.

Rule 1 would disallow this. Probably other rules as well, depending on the details for your code analysis tools.

Also the article seems to imply the rule about recursion was about knowing your program would terminate, but the rationale from the rules says it's about verifying execution is bounded. That's a somewhat different concept. With recursive calls you have the stack to consider.

My main gripe with handling music on jellyfin is that it expects your music to be stored in a certain folder structure[1] meaning it uses a kinda weird mix of metadata and folder structure to scan. This seems to be foundational so this probably won't get fixed in the near future (not because they like it this way, but because it's a lot of effort).

Not sure if you need some effort to "convert" your library to this structure.

> You only need to look at the list of things being cut.

For about 99.9999% of those things there's no evidence they were wasteful or fraudulent. They just say they cut those and they claim they are wasteful and fraudulent. So far there has been very little, if any, evidence of that. There have been quite a few lies.

And on top pf that they cut actual critical programs like National Nuclear Security Administration (something they scrambled to undo) which shows that they have very little insight into what they do.

I think you're confused as to which side of the employer-employee struggle the media aligns itself with. All major news outlets are owned by the owning class, whose interests align with those of Bezos and other employers.

Recently, a member of the owning class did a literal actual Hitler salute on stage twice, and the closest the mass media came to calling a spade a spade was saying things like "alleged resemblance to a Roman salute".

I deliberately did not make the maze in a shape, but kept it square.

I understand that everyone's taste is different. But I went for a form that's visually appealing (to me).

As mentioned in the about, I was inspired by screenprints I saw in a gallery in London, by Ricky Byrne.

https://rbyrneart.com/products/one-day-someday?variant=53387...

I loved the simplicity and how his mazes where visually interesting (to me) through merely color, and composition. This is what I tried to go for. I think I managed quite well, but certainly not as pleasing as Ricky Byrnes artworks.

Though I guess a maze generation algorithm where one can load a mask (png with alpha or BW, for example) would be a cool challenge.
Yes you would need the Wireguard app on your phone, and certainly for me it works beautifully (I use Android - I can't speak for the iOS app but there is one). I don't actually remotely host Jellyfin, but I do use a range of other things like Bitwarden, Nextcloud, Dovecot/Postfix, and some small web apps, and it's really smooth. The only public port on the server is the VPN.
