I can recommend PowerAmp. I've been using it for over a decade and it's been pretty happy with updating my 20,000+ song collection and my 1,000+ song playlist that I sync with an graphical ssh/rsync wrapper (although I've actually been switching to an rclone wrapper, RoundSync, in the last few months).

My personal favorite feature that I got addicted to back when I was using Amarok in KDE 3 was the ability to have a playlist and a queue that resumes to the playlist when exhausted. Then I can listen to an album in order, and then go back to shuffling my driving music playlist when that's done.

Why is weight so important to you? It has like 10% impact to tyre wear vs how many things you'd have to sacrifice for it.
There are some details available[0], although they are scarce.

I procured my Aurora intel from a lengthy phone conversation with an exceptionally knowledgeable (and excessively talkative) AWS engineer – who had worked on Aurora – several years ago. The engineer provided detailed explanations of Aurora’s architecture, do's, and dont's as part of our engagement with AWS. The engineer was very proud of AWS’ accomplishments (and I concur that their «something serverless» products are remarkable engineering feats as well as significant cost-saving solutions for me and my clients). The engineer was willing to share many non-sensitive technical details. Generally speaking, a sound understanding of distributed architectures and networks should be sufficient to grasp Aurora Serverless. The actual secret sauce lies in the fine-tuning and optimisations.

Weakest argument ever, lmao.
How? Is the receptionist able to help you?
This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Using variables isn't supported in backends - e.g. "niche places" (although it sounds like it is in OpenTofu)

And #2 and #3 are exactly the use-case for just regular old tfvars files and module imports.

Terragrunt encourages you to abstract things way, way too far, until you have an absolute mess of tangled imports and deeply nested directories.

Nothing wrong with having a root module, some child modules, and a single tfvars file being fed in on the front end.
Only Americans (to the extent I know) differentiate jail and gaol. Jail and prison.

I first read gaol in a 1960s kids book by Randolph Snow. An Australian as it happens.

Yeah, it's cringe, but if LLMs are as useless as Gary Marcus insists they are, why should we worry?
You're right!

What a joke.
Then people cry that they can't do anything online. Yeah, thats kinda what it comes down to.
Even the folks up front need to be wearing one. That's how my cousin died: got thrown through the windshield in a head-on collision.

It's clearly a stepping stone. If we can transport 15,000 tons of mass to low earth orbit per day, we can set up an extraterrestrial industrial infrastructure for harvesting and refining building materials, so that we don't need to overcome Earth's gravity well to acquire material for space-based construction.
Civil unions/gay marriage were essentially the same thing in the oppositon’s talking points. Slippery slopes and all that. Gay marriage was an issue that hurt him badly. Evidence for this is Obama being ok with gay marriage while running a campaign that was adamantly opposed to it.

Gay marriage is a virtual nonissue with Republican voters. They didn’t run on repealing it this past election cycle. They may care about it but not enough to run on the issue. DEI is the new fear mongering b.s. for the idiots.

There is no difference in terms of privacy. If that's why you replaced them.
I’ve been listening to SomaFM since 2000! Legendary station.
> I've long replaced Mail, Maps, Calendar, Photos, Drive, etc with better alternatives from Apple and Microsoft.

Honestly it takes quite some cognitive dissonance to say that Apple's or Microsoft's products are better than Google's.

I've had multiple Microsoft accounts locked out. None of them were originally with Microsoft; they were with companies that were later bought out by Microsoft and then migrated to a Microsoft account. Goodbye Skype, Halo, Minecraft, etc. I won't ever use Office or an Xbox at this point.

And as far as Apple's concerned... well they talk the talk but their declining quality control demonstrates they don't really walk the walk. It doesn't take a genius to see where they're headed in another 10 years.
The most convincing argument, IMO, is to contemplate what kind of society will likely eventually result when virtually everyone’s life, history, proclivities, whereabouts, social contacts, become largely transparent to corporations, law enforcement, government, what have you. This is not primarily about whether a given individual has critical secrets worth protecting, it’s about the power and control over society as a whole that this imparts to those collecting the data.

Yes you were, you were also implicitly defending ICE. "It's not their fault." Perhaps, but they're contributing more towards making things worse, than making things better. So, technically correct or not, they deserve blame more than they do any kind of defense.

yes but the main reason doesn't appear in the article
National is excellent but you pay a premium. They focus on airports and business travelers, which means their fleet is newer and less beat up (also tend to be driven by individuals rather than families). If you sign up for free Emerald program, theres no waiting. Go to lot, pick any car and drive to gate and check out.

Enterprise owns them but they definitely operate on a different tier of service. If your work has discount codes with them, they're definitely better than all the other rental agencies. (I travel for work and have rented from almost all the major brands)

As an aside; if you do the mapping system wide - it's useful everywhere - caps lock is useless everywhere, and Escape is marginally usefull in general desktop usage. I do ctrl-a-ctrl-a tmux 100x/day to swap panes; and ctrl-u in terminal countless times. Minimizing finger movement on all the little things is valuable.

>how do you get 32-bit-only system to understand more-32-bits of addressing

Maybe you don't. I imagine it would work like this (where XXXX::<IPv4> is the transition block mapping the current Internet v4 into IPv6):

- 32 bit host could only talk to other 32-bit hosts, and other XXXX::<IPv4 Adress> hosts. We have this now, just without the XXXX::<IPv4> part.

- Hosts with v6 addresses outside of XXXX::<IPv4> could not talk to IPv4 addresses without having a 6to4 proxy. We also have this now.

- Hosts with v4 addresses could switch to IPv6, KEEPING their current v4 address by setting their IPv6 addres to XXXX::<IPv4>. They can now talk to all the hosts they used to be able to, AND they can start talking to IPv6 hosts, without having to have two IP, dual stack config, etc.

So we end up with a significant benefit of allowing people with IPv4 addresses and IPv6 connectivity to do an IPv6-only setup.

In my case, I simply don't see us transitioning to IPv6. Our main service has an IPv4-only address and we receive 0 complaints about it. We've literally never had anyone say they couldn't connect to our services because of it. Our users are geographically located in the central US, and everybody has IPv4s. Maybe they have an IPv6 as well, but if we went v6-only I can basically guarantee that we'd have users screaming at us. We'd probably have lawsuits over it. But going v4-only, not a peep.
Pissing off allies was part of the first failure mode:

"Riding a political tide of disillusionment and despair, a far-right patriot captures the presidency with thundering rhetoric, demanding respect for American authority and threatening military retaliation or economic reprisal."
You're not even a women, why are you pretending to have insights here?
havent all the PDs across the country switched to encrypted radio coms? and how is this supposed to be relaxing when you could hear a cop screaming for backup after being shot in his pelvis?
The big issue I've seen is that there are not clear wins for all the pain of IPv6. And the failure to provide a much much better ipv4 interop story out the gate (vs just trying to yell at everyone to switch) was a big big loss. So that means folks ended up having to run ipv4 to end devices in many cases and we have dual stack hell across the network.

For the 90%+ of network clients on-prem that play by the rules you are often supporting both DHCP and SLAAC on IPv6 networks (unless android has figured out DHCP).

Dual WAN redundancy on IPv6 in SMB settings is actually worse relative to a NAT and ipv6.

The subnet size /64 is stupidly large, and the number of available subnets you can easily get annoyingly small from most upstream providers.

Firewall filtering has to be modified or you get weird errors. People don't always like ICMP coming through the firewall.

It's does lots of things differently, but for what? We do prefix delegation with DHCP but can't use DHCP to assign address (we are supposed to use SLAAC) but still need DHCP for lots of other stuff? It's nonsensical - you end up with just way too much garbage.

The privacy extension stuff hits IPv6 hard. You have lots of auto-rotating addresses.

The number of times turning of IPv6 fixes weird glitches / timeouts / stalls etc is still crazy too me.

ATT (massive corp) requires end user devices request /64 subnets one by one - which most end user gear does not support.

Getting static ipv6 IP's (despite claims there are lots of them) is seriously hard from upstream providers in many cases - but IPv4 is trivial by comparison.

The list goes on.

I would have made the subnet size 32 bits. Expanded the network part. Maybe even reduced the overall size - 128 bits feel dumb with /64's as the smallest subnet? Then just go super high interop / overlay to IPv4 with great suggestions so folks could ship ipv6 only stuff (even with on device bridge to ipv4 so outbound interface is ipv6) and no new concepts unless clearly justified.
I see gaol a lot here in New England historic places. There are plenty of old crumbling "town gaols" and such.
Apparently they're using some kind of broad spectrum systems in Ukraine that modulate across a wide range of frequencies at the same time, making it hard to jam them.
I never understood running until long ago I was running for some school event and just got into that grove where ... it didn't hurt to run and I felt like I could go forever.

How these guys do it for that long and that fast still amazes me, but I felt like i got a little glimpse into how it works.

It's outright wrong since it forgets ~/.bash_login

The startup files are mostly comprehensible if you understand the following two oddities:

* Some pseudo-terminal programs always start the shell as interactive; other pseudo-terminal programs always start the shell as non-interactive.

* Shells started from SSH are different than all other shells, regardless of interactivity.

* Shells other than bash are broken-by-design and really should not be used if you have any choice, but in the real world you do have to know at least a little about how to deal with their brokenness.

I have a much saner script here: https://gist.github.com/o11c/03a4b321220395b97dadc3f1ca740db...
I'm not sure how a date in the format YYYYMMDD can have an epoch of 1601.

Epochs are used when storing the offset in some unit like seconds or days to a reference date. The epoch for a year YYYY is 1* BCE (since there is no year 0).

It doesn't make sense at all though for YYYYMMDD where there are multiple units and 0 is invalid for two of them.

* You're not really supposed to use dates < 1582 in ISO 8601 though without prior agreement though it's meaning isn't really defined.

Edit: There do exist standards that default to 1875-05-20 when there's a null date however (GIS-related), but I've not seen anything that suggests the SSA uses it.

To be fair I'm pretty sure Gary Marcus did in fact bring that up at one point, and if I recall correctly the incident was embarrassing enough for Google to briefly pause the generation of AI images until it could correct the awkward bias in its image generation model.
They used the word "collapse" for a reason: The problem isn't population reduction in general, the problem is in several countries it looks like it's going to happen too fast.

My spouse works in homeless outreach in Texas. Essentially doing the exact thing mentioned in the article that the park rangers are doing - Helping people jump the bureaucratic hurdles of no ID, no birth certificate, etc that preclude the client from obtaining housing or employment. 80% of the clients are grateful and work towards housing. The other 20% refuse any help whatsoever.
I have a nice unregistered recent Kindle that I put books on via USB (I don't even give it WiFi access), and every single time I switch back to the main library to pick a new book to read it puts up a modal informing me that it doesn't have cloud access and prompts me to register. Quite annoying.
Absolutely! The QNN architecture based on quantum computing concepts shows great potential. It breaks through traditional computing models and may outperform Transformers in complex tasks. Do you have any research on the combination of quantum computing and AI?
I suppose it depends on what you're into but kindle unlimited is the reason I prefer the kindle to kobo. Kobo seems to just be garbage but around 1 of every 3-4 books on my TBR written at least 6 months ago is on unlimited. Almost everything else I can find at the library. The few remaining outliers I wait until a sale (physical or digital).
Trump has been pretty skilled at finding people to do his dirty work ... and they pay the price.

Lots of us have had to implement changes we've disagreed with or pushed back on, but this one looks so obviously wrong, it's particularly mind boggling.

I'm almost inclined to think maybe the process/tech isn't designed to do this and there's a bug, or somebody tasked with a manual verification made an outright mistake, or something else went off the rails. Any number of this could have gone wrong.

Then I think of the number of sites and services that have started asking for phone numbers, as if they believe doing it over and over will somehow change the nature of telephony--it would probably be a mistake for me to give Google or any of these other companies the benefit of the doubt.

What kind of pearl clutching should one do if Google is so audacious as to have their doodle recognize "ethnic minorities"?
Not at google, but someone took a plane ride to ask about a $20 billing error in person at a company I worked at. We definitely don't do in person customer support, and the flight must have been more than the billing error, so front desk gently encouraged him to fly back home and make sure someone responded to his ticket.
This is why a company I know had an armed guard at the door after an angry dispossessed former customer turned up and gave the reception desk PTSD.

Don't do this.
Uber requires that your vehicle be less than 10 years old and in good condition as well as pass an inspection from a licensed mechanic. You can’t just go ahead and grab a 12 year old clunker and run it into the ground unless you’re only planning to do food deliveries (which have no restrictions on vehicle quality).
They are quite useful for “flooding the zone”.
My dad is old enough to remember when the Irish were ethnic minorities.
When you say IPv6 isn't hard, do you mean implementing v6-only network stack isn't hard or understanding IPv6 isn't hard? Depending on which layer one lives on, I feel like the lack of networking effect makes supporting v6 difficult. Github is still isn't on v6 and some load balancers will prefer the v4 address over v6, etc...
Sounds very well thought out. Care to share your list as a starting point for others?
National Car is the best in my experience.
I don't see any kind of schism/balkanization in our future. The federal government has its tentacles in all states and the states in turn rely heavily on it for big parts of their budgets. Any one that gets to the point of secession (highly unlikely), the federal government will just invade it on grounds of securing their many assets in the state and then proceed to depose of the seditious element.

Unrelated to the article, but this reminds me of being an intrepid but naive 12-year-old trying to learn programming. I had already taught myself a bit using books, including following a tutorial to make a simple calculator complete with a GUI in C++. However I wasn't sure how to improve further without help, so my mom found me an IT school.

The sales lady gave us a hard sell on their "complete package" which had basic C programming but also included a bunch of unnecessary topics like Microsoft Excel, etc. When I tried to ask if I could skip all that and just skip to more advanced programming topics, she was adamant that this wasn't an option; she downplayed my achievements trying to say I basically knew nothing and needed to start from the beginning.

Most of all, I recall her saying something like "So what, you made a calculator? That's so simple, anybody could make that!"

However in the end I was naive, she was good at sales, and I was desperate for knowledge, so we signed up. However sure enough the curriculum was mostly focused on learning basic Microsoft Office products, and the programming sections barely scraped the surface of computer science; in retrospect, I doubt there was anybody there qualified to teach it at all. The only real lesson I learned was not to trust salespeople.

Thank god it's a lot easier for kids to just teach themselves programming these days online.
when i played HL2 in 2006 or whatever, i had no idea that there would never be anything like that again. we all thought that HL2 was just the beginning... but it was the opposite. i think that we all assumed that the game was made great by its technology. but the more i think about it, the more i realize that it was the people, the sensibilities of those people and that time, and the character of valve at that time, everything besides the technology, that made HL2 so good. and that also explains why it has never been reproduced. if i were going to be sent to another planet in another galaxy to seed another colony of humanity... and i could only bring 2 video games for that entire branch of humanity to know and appreciate... it would be HL2 and MGS2.
Income angle:

Because "they" turn your lack of privacy into money. You're selling yourself for free.

Economic and psychological abuse angle:

Because "they" will attack you economically by psychologically targetting you with advertising for items you don't actually need, but they will manipulate you into thinking you do.

Creepy / Icky angle:

Because "they" create an electronic copy of you with all this data. With AI and other existing / future technologies they could create a version of you to populate their metaverse.

You can't trust your government angle:

"They" sell the electronic copy of you, and this can be bought by anyone, including governments. If the government of the day (which may change - boy howdy) don't like things you say or how you conduct yourself (or re-define what fraud and corruption mean), then they can target and harass you much more specifically when armed with all this extra information that's extracted from your electronic trails.
