> There are 181,000 apps with subscriptions out there, not millions

You said "That makes up a sizeable share of all apps", not "That makes up a sizeable share of all subscription apps". Whereas I said, "there are literally millions of mobile apps", not "there are literally millions of subscription apps". So you've offered two red herrings in a row.

My original point was that RevenueCat's report covers only subscription apps—a fact that I think nobody is disputing—and thus it's kind of bizarre to suggest, as the article title does, that a report exclusively about subscription apps explains "why devs beg for subscriptions", especially since the report itself says that the majority of those subscription apps are not doing particularly well.

To be clear, I was not arguing with RevenueCat's report; rather, I was arguing with the article's spin.
Speaking of the doorbell project, I recently found this cool piano doorbell project, a beautiful-looking and sounding doorbell that looks like a miniature piano. It has five individual, fully functional piano keys. Each key, when pressed, plays a distinct note, sampled from a real piano: https://www.hackster.io/makestreme/a-piano-doorbell-that-sou...
Agree on this!
It has nothing to do with the product/company itself and everything to do with emotion/opinion. It's probably a good time to buy.
They said elsewhere that they're not doing that yet because it requires coordination with the other package, and they don't want to bother until they're more confident that this doesn't utterly break things.
Gimp does seem to be half way between a photo editor and a drawing/painting program.

For me, the swiss-army knife approach they support is good enough. And it saves me from having to wrangle two or three other tools.
Factoring hasn't been shown to be NP-complete. It maybe the case that it's in P (and we just don't have an algo yet) or it maybe the case that it is an NP intermediate problem.

It's heartening to see there's been a serious move to use A.I. in a directly useful manner.

It might be unclear how the end product would be adopted into the medical system there, perhaps a wifi enabled tablet or pda the doctor would take with them, but here in Australia I can imagine the govt funded ER room would quickly adopt a complete A.I. suite, each bay staffed with a singular nurse to run though those patients that do not have a clear cut problem. A.I. would catch everything the patient says, not forget the beginning what the patient said, HQ vid for non verbal analysis, up to the second ecg analysis, know the drugs that can not be used as it will worsen the situation ... and on and on I could go.
> Imagine having to raise your arm to swipe, pinch and tap across an ultra-wide screen several times per minute. Touch works best on small surfaces, even if it looks impressive on a bigger screen.

I regularly find myself wishing pinch zoom were available on my large multi-monitor setup, even if i only used it occasionally, i.e. to augment interactions, not as a replacement for other input methods. As a (poor) substitute, I keep an Apple trackpad handy and switch from a mouse to trackpad to do zooming. Sadly I’ve found not all macOS apps respond to Magic Mouse zooming maneuvers.

> you can model the surface of the water and the rocks as little balls of mass connected by ideal springs and such, and you'll see that the movement of the water is directly caused by the two rocks, whose contact with the water pushes it here and there. And so, the "real" picture is two separate waves

I don't see that that follows? Both wave pictures are a mathematical approximation to the "real" system of particles moving. Both are ways of calculating the same result. Neither is objectively more valid than the other. You can say that picturing it as "the wave from the first rock overlaid on the wave from the second rock" is an interpretation that makes more physical sense or is nicer to think about, but that's just as true in the QM case.
I didn't say they're trying to maximize total revenue. I said they're trying to maximize revenue from each student.

Close to 90% of all student loans are federal and qualify for income based repayment. The vast majority of students don’t have any private student loans, so if they can’t find a job they pay nothing.

If they make money but not enough, they’ll pay 10% of any income above 1.5x the poverty level.

Plus there are very generous forbearance terms if you’re temporarily struggling.
Even then, it isn't often enforced. A few times a year people walk out into freeways in groups to shut down traffic and get at most a slap on the hand for it.

> pass back HTTP 1.1 ... to the backing service.

Sure, but now you've lost some of the benefits of HTTP/3, such as the header compression and less head-of-line blocking. To some degree the load balancer can solve this by using multiple parallel HTTP 1.1 streams, but in practice I've seen pretty bad results in many common scenarios.
Partial CMYK support, yes. Comparable to e.g. Inkscape. That means it's actually doing RGB under the hood and converting to/from CMYK on the fly as needed.

But not proper native support for CMYK and spot colors as you might know from Adobe or Krita, where everything internally tracks CMYK data throughout.

That's the wrong question. The correct question is, "If California increased income tax, how many software developers would leave for another jurisdiction that did not increase income tax, and would the total tax taken from all software developers in California be higher or lower after?". There are also moral questions.

Hard disagree: Even if you aren't good at writing a function like `List (Maybe a) -> List a`, you can easily say whether the LLM suggestion was good or not.

If you aren't good at playing the game of go and a program beats you giving you nine handicap stones, probably the program is good at it. Many similar examples.
Over :53 can be blocked/re-routed to your recursive DNS server by your router.. although that's more than many user's ability, sure.

Seems unlikely it's DoH[0] (:443) since that would be.. hard coding an IP or a DNS lookup loop (turtles.. all the way down). But it's possible in combination with :53 above (you'd need to recursive-block the common DoH domains https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query https://mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com https://dns.google/dns-query but possibly also some device-specific IPs.. dns.roku.com?)

DoT[1] (:853) could also be used (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9)... guess it's worth watching traffic/blocking that port (if that's your concern).

"with an increase in security comes an increase in overall resilience of the system"

This isn't within my realm of expertise.. but I find it a bit hard to believe that GNU Coreutils is a source of a lot of security and resilience issues with Ubuntu.. Is this true?

Does anyone in the know, know if Ubuntu has any answer to the Nix explosion?

I feel my Ubuntu problems are always weird package issue. The system doesn't make it very transparent to the user how to make your own packages, or how to edit and rebuild an existing package

By contrast I've never had `ls`, `cp`, or `mv` freak out on me..

(I don't personally use Nix b/c I love the stability of Ubuntu LTS. Everyone and their mom makes sure their software can run on the latest LTS)
There are funds that trade on the rebalancing and entrances/exits of individual stocks from the indexes. While this may offer some yield, you can still get pulled under the bus by large scale movement in the markets... as seen recently.

While I'm not a fan of the "dark pools", if your "grandma" is a buy and hold anyway, the price of the asset should be ballpark correct most of the time since presumably the people doing the trades in the dark room are rational? I suspect that this setup is more useful if you need short term stability in the price to set up a complex deal.

They clearly also aren’t maximizing revenue from each student because it maxes out at only $60k a year. There are many students at Harvard whose families would pay more than that.

On the lower end there’s no way that 25% of the students are willing to pay nothing at all.

If they really wanted to maximize what each student pays they wouldn’t publicly disclose the formula. They’d let you in, look at your financials, and then give you an individualized quote that takes “you’re unique circumstances into account.” (They do that to some extent by offering additional scholarships to some people, but they wouldn’t give you a formula that defines the ceiling.)

>...All western nations used to have far higher top marginal rates for income and inheritance taxes. Far less loopholes, and yet here we are.

When western nations had far higher top marginal rates for income there were far MORE loopholes, not less. Those high rates did not bring in much revenue. For example:

>...Of the $517 billion the Treasury collected in 1980, only $3 billion to $5 billion came from the 70 percent bracket — less than 1 percent of total tax revenue.

https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2019/02/05/democrats-7...

(This is one reason that democrats suggested lowering the top rate in 1981.)

Those high marginal rates encouraged all kinds of unproductive investments to take advantage of loopholes built into the law. Where people couldn't get around such high rates, there were deadweight losses from economic activity that didn't occur. Even if someone thinks it is morally ok to take that much of someone's income, those kinds of high rates simply hurt the economy.

I used ChatGPT to help me write some complex functionality in Rust - which I am relatively new to - and the initial efficiency was amazing. I learnt a lot and I also ran into some cases where ChatGPT wasn’t much help.

Overall, we have to embrace LLMs - and whatever tech comes next - and ensure it is used for betterment of humanity.

Tech has also always been used to subjugate others, create deep fakes, wage wars, kill, surveil, discriminate and worse - and AI tech is going to be no different. We have to ensure that guardrails are put and the tech is not abused.

The usual distinction between "light" and "non-light" is based on the underlying mechanism by which photons are being produced. Photons produced by electrons jumping between energy shells are what we call "light".

By that definition, UV and infrared are "light". Light that's outside of the visible range for our eyes, but still potentially visible to other camera sensors (and some other animals).

X-rays are not "light" because they're emitted by the atomic nucleus itself, rather than by electrons changing orbitals.

Radio waves are not "light" because they're created by macroscopic-scale movement of electrons back and forth in free space.
