I am not an Apple Music subscriber and don't stream much music besides SomaFM, so I may not be in the norm.

I always have selected on the sidebar Library -> Songs with View -> Column Browser enabled. And I search only using the "Filter" text input on this view. It's as close to how iTunes used to be in the early days of OS X (sans brushed metal).

What I see on the screen is just mostly dense text except the small thumbnail at the top for whatever is currently playing. There is no other related artwork or graphics loaded. I fear once a re-write of this app happens, this view is gone... replaced with lots of fancy graphics and loads of whitespace padding everywhere.
That‘s cosmic. I was wondering about the feasibility of exactly this system today while driving to work. Zettelkasten seems formalized/rule-based enough to work, and the limited context of each Zettel should be ideal for LLMs.

I guess the biggest risk is that two related notes don’t end up getting connected, so the agent can get stuck in a local optimum. I guess once a certain total number of notes has been reached, it becomes quasi impossible to make all the connections, because there are just too many possibilities?
This is unique to SpiderMonkey, as far as I'm aware.
The real pertinent question here is:

Can I install Win311 on it!?
> In short, it's anonymity theater if your leadership has any inkling of how you communicate. I knew exactly who wrote what from my teams, and so did my leadership peers.

You might be able to identify your direct reports based on communication style alone, but I don't really find it believable that this is a property that naturally transfers to your leadership, and from them up the chain to executives.

If that is true, then the "anonymity theater" only really extends to direct leadership, and not much further. This means that you, as a leader, would have to be complicit in any attempts to deanonymize any specific respondents.

So to rephrase: your ability to deanonymize your direct reports' responses does not extrapolate to the entire exercise being "anonymity theater", because your ability to deanonymize any given respondent only extends as far as your direct reports and maybe a free others. This becomes increasingly less true the larger the set of total employees surveyed.

My view is it’s actually about people being racist
Not an interview but

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/27/fired-fed...

These anecdotes however are few and far between. With a federal worker there's pretty obviously "nowhere to hide the bodies" - Trump came in, fired a bunch of federal workers. If you were a fired federal worker, it's impossible to read that any other way.

With something less direct, like losing your job during a recession? There's still plausible deniability that it's Biden's fault, because headlines like "Economists suggest <thing Trump did> might have triggered a recession" is too abstract and far removed from their own lived experience.
I can't believe that people still parrot this take. This is exactly why Democrats lose, the attitude that "we know whats best for you" will always lose. You should just stop it.
Fast forward and B+ trees end up making sense (again).
Amazing that disposable drones can get fiber internet while residents of Silicon Valley can't!

The notion of unsinkable carriers is mostly fiction. In WWII I think almost every CV America entered the war with (but 3, Enterprise, Saratoga and Ranger) was sunk by ‘44.
I am on 15.3.1 and when I attempt it, it stays in place on the color I selected without issue.
I donated just a few times, and to be honest I really hated it. I figure that I donated about as much as I'm ever likely to receive, and that's "good enough" for this particular contribution. I seeded to a ratio of 1. Also, as AB+ it's the least useful blood type for donations (can only donate to AB+, about 2% of the population – on the plus side, can receive donations from any type).
So they are building a system which has all the hallmarks of an extremely addictive game. But that's ok because they pay the players a small amount of money?

They didn't even address the wellbeing of players, managing addiction and overwork etc.

Having mended a few toasters in my time I salute this effort. Cheap toasters are very difficult to take apart and mend. The toasting mechanism on this one looks great.

Cheap toasters only last a few years before dying. Usually because someone jams it up then clumsily unjams it while damaging the element.

After going through a few toasters in quick succession I finally bought an expensive Dualit one. It's still going 25 years later. I changed the timer mechanism once which was a joy, and you can easily buy spare parts.

The Dualit cost over 10 times more than the cheap toasters though. I don't regret that purchase though and it has actually saved me money over the years and made much less landfill.

Funnily enough the toaster in this article looks quite like the Dualit. I don't suppose that is a coincidence!
Maybe shocked if China and even Russia didn't have the specs and designs for every Ukrainian drone.

Drone hardware in software are mature. Adoption is more matter of observing tactics and human interaction
If by "pathology" you mean "we optimize for the comfort of the people already actively engaged in the project instead of hypothetical future contributors", I don't think this argument is as strong as you think it is.

If anything, this kind of excessive legal and process red tape is much more common in enterprise-driven vs. community-driven open source projects.
The POV of PR reviewer vs. PR creator is so well-said.

"Let’s start with the perspective of the reviewer. Everyone is familiar with this scenario: you get a notification about a new PR you need to review. You open the PR and see that the title of the PR is a JIRA ticket. The description of the PR is blank. You find the JIRA ticket and read it to get some context before continuing. Going back to the PR, you see about forty commits, many of which are things like “migration” or “wtf please work” or worse. Given this you click the “Files changed” tab and see that there are 5k lines of code changed, across 30 files. Resigned to your fate, you then try to understand this large changeset all at once. Because it’s incredibly difficult to do so and because you are also under pressure to deliver your own changesets, you end up reviewing it at the surface level, leaving style feedback and perhaps some more nuanced commentary for the parts you are able to understand more easily."

"As the creator of the PR, you are hoping to merge it. But past that, you also want your teammates to let you know of things that you may not have considered, or why this particular algorithm you’ve employed may have negative effects on the backend APIs it eventually calls. Style nits are OK but avoiding an incident by pointing out an unhandled edge case is much better."
Not sure where you people are getting these multi decade toasters, I need to replace mine every 5-10 years. Obviously not the worst case of e-waste either way but 1 or 2 seems like a severe underestimate but that could just be my own experience.

Usually a heating element dies or similar. If it were easier to replace the heating elements I'd think it'd help reduce waste, but as you and others have noted, that wasn't the point of the article.
From the slide deck, it seems that Fuchsia components have the following characteristics, which make them different from Linux containers:

* Capability-centric design

* Single machine scope

* Tree of sandboxes

* Weaker inter-sandbox fault tolerance

* Standardized IPC system

* Model powers low-level OS features

* More detailed inputs/outputs from sandbox

* Configuration and building in separate files

* Sandboxes can encapsulate other sandboxes

I don't see Custom Color anywhere. Does anyone have a SS of where I should be looking? I'm on 15.3.1.
Damn, this was such a fun game back in the day. I used to love logging on after school to go on raids with friends. Recently I had been logging back on every few weeks to play for a bit. Or even just read through the wiki for some nostalgia.

"19 years, 8 months and 11 days" is a damn good run for a game like this (though it seems extra sad for it to die just shy of its 20th birthday)! There was certainly still activity in the game - I wonder how much of it was bots.
Personally I don't like applying to these companies because the false negative rates makes it feel like a lottery. I'd rather just do the other lottery and start a business.
> Rust's definition of "unsafe" is basically just "whatever Rust prevents".

It's not that circular.

Rust defines data races as unsafe because they can lead to reads that produce corrupt values, outside the set of possibilities defined by their type. It defines memory leaks as safe because they cannot lead to this situation.

That is the yardstick for what makes something safe or unsafe. It is the same yardstick used by other memory-safe languages- for instance, despite your claims to the contrary, garbage collectors do not and cannot guarantee a total lack of garbage. They have a lot of slack to let the garbage build up and then collect it all at once, or in some situations never collect it at all.

There are plenty of undesirable behaviors that fall outside of this definition of unsafety. Memory leaks are simply one example.

Never heard of these guys. Do they do good work?

I know of several examples of worker-owned coups where the product is excellent: Cheeseboard pizza in Berkeley, Moog synthesizers, etc.

I've always wondered whether this model could extend to cutting edge technology, where the contributions of a few extremely talented individuals could be the decisive factor.

That's not to say Bocoup is limited by this question, because it could be their work does not require any cutting edge research, but instead is deploying existing stable technologies in an artisan/workman/guildsman like professional manner--which I think is the sweet spot for worker-owned/worker-directed activities.

The design is much older in east asia, I've seen it on 19th century textiles and pottery for sure but I suspect it goes back a lot more than that.

The shape is somehow associated with the name mitsubishi, possibly through visual or phonetic punning that is common in pictogram-based writing systems and tonal languages. Mitsubishi the name is more widespread than this one family or this group of companies, and the symbol appears to have long associated with the name per se rather than this specific mitsubishi. Mitsu sounds like three, I don't know what the rhombus connection is.

That shade of red has a specific proper name in japanese (think like alice blue in english) and has long been associated with japan by the japanese.

I don't think any of this is a coincidence there's a connection between all this stuff. But I don't know what it is and I don't think the article author does either.
This looks wrong to me - it looks like it should always return ‘light,’ because the ‘if prefers dark then return dark’ conditional is introduced after the default result

Is it more like - result is a variable that can be redefined over and over during the function, and whatever value it is at the end, is what’s returned?

In 1594 Philip the Prudent coined the 8 hour work day. It is quite hilarious that after all this time we still can't figure out how long a work day should be for different jobs.

I do pretty grueling manual labor at night. The shift is 8, I think about 4 hours is reasonable (under 55), we do about 5. We have to carefully hide the other 3 hours. The shift starts with 20-40 min of planning and organizing which is maybe 4 minutes of work, we glue 10 min in front and behind the lunch break, we rest out of sight, we "finish" early.

I often joke that a marathon is only 2 hours if you run really slowly. The culture is to expect us to do 5 marathons in 8 hours, every day! uhh.. i mean every night! Which is every bit as hilarious as it sounds.

I calculate for the MBA types that if they cut the shifts in half and raise the pay by 50% people will be well over 25% more productive. Sleeping at night is not overrated. Both the pay raise and the reduced work day are of course culturally unthinkable. Their eyes just glaze over. I further joke that they don't have to understand. They can just join us and run these 25 marathons for a week. Only one week?

When coding I prefer either ONE hour/day or 14 days straight 14 to 18 hours/day. That way everything fits in my head and I feel very productive. The endorphin milestones fly by. It's lovely. After that I don't want to see any code for two months. I don't want to even try to explain this to any employer. I probably wouldn't even want to understand it if I was hiring.

Philip limited mine workers work days to seven hours! That was 430 years ago.

"The Color of Law" gets into some details, though it's not explicitly about zoning. Other books about zoning are... strangely supportive.
The NTU only goes back to the 1980s and does not actually include any analysis of the 1950s.

Looks like NTU also is positing their stance on the ideology that the 1% are the only ones that create jobs but they are the ones to most likely invest in large corporations. There seems no prospect to help the mom and pop shops or small companies that have stronger solutions beyond what large corporate tunnel vision provides.

My personal taxes keep going up with these "Tax Cuts". I don't expect them to come down with the push for tax cuts for the wealthy. Nor has my income gone up.

Wouldn't buying more local would reduce energy used for transportation of goods and services?

I see less Amazon purchases and deliveries as a net benefit for the majority and a net deficit for the wealthy investors. Wealth that stays more in the community versus being shipped to Wall Street.

The problem as I see it is that 99% of toaster owners don’t know where to find the parts in this toaster and/or how to replace them.

That’s where I’d love to see more experimentation.

There’s a maker space in my old town where you can just take stuff and they’ll nerd out over helping you fix it. I wish there was that, but in a store format.

I want to live in a world where it’s just common parlance to say, “my toaster broke so I have to stop at the FixIt on my way home.

Yes yes, fixing it is too expensive to support this business model. I want to dream, okay?! Maybe a toaster like this makes it much more reasonable for cheaper appliances to be fixed by the summer student from high school who will learn invaluable skills for $15/hr. I would have killed to make min wage taking apart and doing basic repairs on stuff.

I mentor high school students who can CAD and fabricate plastic and metal parts. Surely we could fabricate more young people like that too.

No idea what it is about toasters, other than their simplicity, but I really love the effort with the flatpack version.
you don't answer to most of my points tho.

for instance :

> Every totalitarian government has to rely on a minor but endoctrined part of the population to be able to sustain itself. I had never heard of the 'proud boys' and like with other candidates, either republicans or democrats.

> > Lol. Groups forming responding to partisan violence against them is very typical. Obviously the media decides who is evil and who isn't. When people were giving speeches in universities groups of opposing parties/ideologies would come in to "bash the fash" and that naturally creates a cycle of violence

The "proud boys" and other white supremacist group backing up Trump are on another level that the usual partisan violence in the states.

IMO Antifa are as despicable but i haven't seen them invading the Capitol. On the other hand, i have seen Trump supporters on the January 6 attack the United States Capitol, invade it, leading to the death of several people.

is that even comparable ?

> Dude. I feel you're absolutely not ready to talk about this. I'm not even trying to be a jerk. Maybe gather your thoughts with an LLM and a pen first.

just like usa politics i judge the facts not the talking, and so far you don't want to be a jerk but keep acting like a jerk.

I can see the hate through your comment.

"Dude. English is clearly not your main language nor is it mine but you need to do better. "Read a history book" is a 14 year old quip. You're one more partisan hack who claims side A is the worst ever and push the simplest of failed partisan narratives while brushing of years of recent history. You're not ready to have this conversation."

Take a deep breath, and tell me seriously that all things considered, you don't believe that Trump isn't pushing to turn the USA into a totalitarian regime.

>>Feels a bit like saying that subsidising personal cars is good for the tank business.

Funny you should say that. The US had in 1938 a grand total of about 38 tanks. WWII started a few years later, and after converting prewar automobile factories to tank factories, the USA built more tanks than every other nation combined.

Pretty much the same thing happened for airplanes, as mentioned in the article.

US industrial production was literally the arsenal of democracy.

It is a LOT easier to convert commercial manufacturing base to military purposes than to start from scratch. So, yes, subsidizing commercial production to stay in-country is definitely good for mil readiness (and ultimately, the tank business).
> Calling all of your previous employers will get them your dates of employment and nothing else.

Eh, HR at previous employers might share whether you were a problem employee. And any references you provide from previous employers had better speak glowingly about you -- if they wouldn't, don't provide them.

I don't know if any of the references I've ever given were called, but since none of the references I've given ever told me about getting called about me I assume none were called. To be fair I've had a) few jobs, b) enough credentials in terms of portfolio of public works (in standards setting organizations, in open source, etc.) that there is little need to check those references. If you interview me and you can get me to talk in detail about said public work and also you can check how I think and would solve problems, then between that and a background check that's almost certainly enough.

This is why I tell people to make sure to have a portfolio of public work. In practice it is difficult to make a large portfolio of public work -- at some point that has to include participation in the upstreams of external open source, in mailing lists, in fora, etc., and that all takes time and not being shy. Most job applicants are not going to have much of a portfolio.
