He worries plenty about the latest and not-so-latest manufactured crises, as it's all he tweets about nowadays, is my point.

Or https://twitter.com/unconed for the full experience. I used to follow him for gfx stuff, until he lost his marbles during covid. The world at large has moved on with their life but from a cursory scroll he's still living in 2020.

So... are they hiring? :)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned comment spam, it's a bit better but still present under any somewhat popular video I run across, it's been years!

TIL, looks like a.out support was removed just a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30792059

Tangentially related: I'd like to use litestream but my SQLite files are several gigabytes, is there a way to lazily download the db only once it's being accessed? (using something like userfaultfd maybe? just thinking out loud)

I am sure they optimize their software too all the time, down to the kernel. Hyperscalers are, almost by definition, at the scale where hiring and managing silicon talent to shave an extra order of magnitude here and there pays for itself.

Looks like this experiment has been going on for a couple of years, a bunch of familiar (internet-familiar, have met Chandler a couple of times but do not know any personally) names were secretly working on it, and it was only made public a few days ago:

Or rather, "but then you have a full-time job again".

I assume most of these people just want a more or less passive lifestyle business.

From the recipes I can see at https://www.bluezones.com/recipes/ (which I assume to be the same) what on earth is it that you eat instead?

All extremely true, but the damn friction when buying tracks there... (jwz put it best [1])

> If I put 6 albums in my cart and check out, you make me enter my credit card info SIX TIMES. This is insane. You realize this is insane, don't you?

> You have used Amazon, right? Click once, receive candy. You need to be like that.

(Maybe they fixed it? Haven't bought multiple items at once in a while)

Also I would gladly pay for SoundCloud if most of the money actually went to the artists (if any SC pm is still listening).

No so young anymore, but I listen to SoundCloud at least 50 hours per week (after heavily curating who I follow and writing my own SoundCloud frontend to make the site usable, fwiw). In fact most artists I follow do not publish anywhere else, except maybe Bandcamp (whose usability is even worse).

ps: to any SoundCloud pm listening, I would have gladly paid for a purely linear timeline of my follows that remembers its position across devices, but no I had to build it myself.

Recent noahpinion episode about this very topic:

It's remarkable that this person still blogs under his real name.

*elicit, you would not want your vaccine to do illicit stuff after all.

Wow, I wish we had these built-in provers in VHDL (which is basically Ada in sheep's clothing).

But why? It's released as a docker container, say I deploy this container, as-is, with Cloud Run or Lambda or whatever, since I'm not "linking" my code against it, I'm just sending it SSML requests as one of several TTS backends, no virality provision applies, I just have to provide users with a download link to the same upstream code I am using. I imagine a lawyer working at a technology company can understand the use case I just described and pattern-match it against the AGPL requirements, what am I missing?

I wish it was easier to use Firebase Auth without the half-maintained javascript mess that is firebase-ui, which has not worked with the current Firebase SDK for, over a year now? (or at least I still failed transitioning from SDK 8 to SDK 9 as of a couple of months ago).

I am very much into art, I assume more than the median engineer, and several of my friends are actual artists.

Neither CIA psyops, nor profitability of the Swedish music industry, nor defense companies have anything to do with this article, or with art.

Otherwise thanks for mostly agreeing with my only point, I guess.

It's just an art project, a means for public servants to redistribute excess public cash to their artsy friends instead of improving the common good. Don't read too much into it, at most be angry if you are a dutch taxpayer.

Being productive with it requires rewiring your brain, which depending on what kind of business you run might not be worth it more often than not (same applies to the crab language).

They're fine, so long as you do not have to fork them. Very often we have to work on multiple submodules in parallel, to make that work we use the same name for all feature branches, then our CI and tools understand that these unrelated branches in unrelated repos actually belong together, but I'd prefer not to have to do that. At least it taught me why so many big companies use monorepos.

I know submodules, and I sort of know subtrees (which as I understand are similar to what this tool does, except more manual and error-prone), but what are subrepos? [this]( https://www.mankier.com/1/git-subrepo)?

According to the Search Engine, that's a quote from Seinfeld, nothing to do with SQLite.

Does anything actually use Ethernet over HDMI?

No idea where the figures would be from, but it sounds like a lot of this could be automated away, anyone invented swipe-bots yet?

I just went as far a searching google and urbandictionary and I still have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

> I don't want my Netflix summarized, for example.

There exists an entire YouTube subgenre of videos summarizing feature-length movies in a few minutes.

There is no alternative with anywhere close to the caliber of guests he gets.

Plus, like Trump is a poor person's ideal of a rich and successful person, Lex is a young impressionable person's idea of a smart person, this makes him relatable to his main audience.

Plus, Rogan moving full episodes to Spotify made the YT algorithm fill the vacuum with the next closest thing.
