It sounds like both. I obviously don’t think Spotify discriminate due to reasons other than business, I just think decisions like this should become less frequent. I think you are wrong with regards to “more value somewhere else”. I think t

I would rather move towards less discrimination based on person's nationality not because it’s impossible but because it’s not great morally.

I tried, but it just thinks I'm travelling. To get podcasts, you need a US credit card.

No, only short clips are uploaded there now.

Off-topic but still makes me sad: Spotify removed all episodes of Joe Rogan for me by removing podcasts feature from Ukrainian (and not only) users. I’m a paid user btw. Worst part is that since JRE is free for such large part of internet u

Our startup relies on server-side HTML rendering in Headless Chrome, and some ImageMagick image manipulation. Due to how optimised these machines are for this use-case, I do plan to evaluate them to replace the much pricier AWS instances.

Locking a wild animal? Yes. Locking a domesticated one, the one that co-evolved with humans, gaining some features (like facial expression) specifically in a context of coexistence? I’m not that sure. Please see two evolutionary biologists

What is meant by "switching" here? Forcing others to install/use the client for communication with you? I have all of them installed, different people use different ones, I don't care really.

I need to use Windows for Visual Studio, Unity Editor and other things targeting Windows, but I've been a Linux person for 14 years now and would like to still do as much as possible via the tools I'm used to.

The comment states it's anti-globalization and then states "it could be a good thing", I didn't see that as "arguing against globalization", felt more like adding points to the discussion. I don't believe

Yep. Another scary trend is the recent move of Joe Rogan under exclusively Spotify platform, together with the fact that they've removed the Podcasting part from their app for a number of countries including my own (Ukraine). I really

Correct, you shouldn't do that. On the other hand, event of simultaneously resizing and writing input is kind of rare, and this will be fixed on next resize/input event, so I wouldn't be too bothered.

Yes, the message needs to never be sent in a batch with other messages which change the model.

by k_bx 6y ago
One nice trick I use to avoid boilerplate is SetModel msg which just sets new model state (passed in message itself). Good for simple and stupid messages like text input that just updates the model.

Services that create separate accounts for email, Google and Facebook despite providing the same email are the worst.

It’s not “correlation at best”. It’s an almost canonical example of the Bayesian error: given a reverse probability (if you’re sick => you’re 80% likely to have deficiency), people make a reverse conclusion (if you’re deficient => you

One thing I've figured is that in bash you can use $'These kinds of strings', without any variable expansion, but what you get is essentially what's present in most programming languages quote-wise. Example: $ echo

I wonder, could GNU/Linux change its license (in a substantial way) that would allow it to get revenue from Amazon for deployments like AWS, similar to how it was done by Timescale? Would seem fare to get a good chunk of revenue to Lin

Would be nice to know some stats, of course. I suspect that for most people it’s pretty bad and disk isn’t the limiting factor.

I understand. I use it for my git commit editing in my “master” emacs. It’s just not usable when you want multiple instances in different tmux windows
