In part because of the drive-by questions, they also often force waterfall-like design: few like the answer to their question being "idk, we'll find out when we get there". So rather than a lightweight doc that looks for obvi

I've seen a couple minor, older-hardware cases when they've been powered off with something on the screen for years, but that's about it. in theory they can also "burn in" by not clearing the display occasionally (

yea - in retrospect I think it's pretty clear about it from the text on the screens... but it surprised me too, because the initial UX is designed exactly like every other "upload your own music library so you can stream it anyw

fwiw: when I've uploaded tracks I've purchased, it almost immediately locks them because they're copyrighted... because AFAICT it's a feature for independent musicians to upload their own stuff, not a library backup.

This, plus it's less obtuse than drug naming, and about on par with any other random product on the market. Which is not to claim the general market is full of good names - clearly it is not. But I don't think it's below par

"Toasts are inherently bad for accessibility and bad UX, therefore GitHub is bad for not canonizing them into browsers" ... that's a somewhat odd stance to take.

by Groxx 11mo ago
> Toasts pose significant accessibility concerns and are not recommended for use. yeah. OBVIOUSLY. good fucking riddance. they wouldn't be half as bad if they always came with a notification center for seeing the ones you missed.

Some minor data is in postgres, but to test it I just fed it a previous install's library folder (images and metadata files). Worked fine, restored all my albums and tags, though perhaps not "people" iirc. And not e.g. ML i

As a counter-anecdote: literally just `docker compose up` on a spare laptop for me, and it's working great (though it's only available on the local network). There might be stuff to tune (e.g. I'm pretty sure it's not u

It's pretty easy to set it up to upload automatically, if that's the question. No need to launch it. I've only got my server on my home network so I can't sync while away, and I occasionally check to make sure it'

I largely agree, I think that probably is all that it is. And it looks like shit. Though there is a LOT of room to subtly train many kinds of lossy compression systems, which COULD still imply they're doing this intentionally. And it

Why call this "exactly once" when it's very clearly "at most once"?

ah, gotcha. that would be nice, but tbh it seems rather minor? anyone who knows how to disable javascript (an extremely-clear "power user" signal) can probably be expected to know how to search a page too.

It also works just fine without JavaScript, so I'm not sure what they're trying to do with that comment.

As opposed to now, where they charge the maximum they can get away with, while also colluding with each other to raise prices? Yes.

To be clear: I completely believe that Premium is a major source for many people. 100%. I just haven't seen many examples of it, outside tubers that have zero sponsorships (because they're small and/or not doing the low-v

many value/productivity metrics in use are just "Lines Of Code" in a trenchcoat. a game which LLMs are fantastic at playing.

by Groxx 11mo ago
from what I've seen in a several-thousand-eng company: LLMs generally produce vastly more code than is necessary, so they quickly out-pace human coders. they could easily be producing half or more of all of the code even if only 10% o
