Surely the revenue is calculated from how much money Spotify actually gets right? If they sell a $10 subscription and get $7 after Apple takes their cut then that is $7 dollars of revenue, no?

Why do you say "acquisition"? I thought Nothing just partnered with Sunbird. But I do wonder if the timing is completely coincidental.

Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. It looks a bit chaotic but honestly not _that_ unsafe to me as everything is going quite slow. It reminds me a bit of the idea of "shared space" which is a recent concept that is actuall

Thanks for sharing. Those photos of Samus give a very good impression of the difference. The CRT one is clearly better.

Yes, I get that and I think it's a very cool device (given that it has sufficient IO for ones purpose). What I don't understand is why the casing around the board itself is so well designed and good looking. To me it looks like a

One thing I don't really understand about the Zimaboard is why it comes in such a good looking enclosure? If you want to use it with stuff connected to the PCIe/SATA ports you'll always need some extra enclosure/case any

You have a point, but to be fair the person you replied to didn't use the word "truth". They said "valid mathematical proof". An in the context of type theory or formal logic "valid proof" is indeed someth

You're absolutely right. That is particular example is bad because you don't actually need the power of flapMap/bind. But, if the available containers depended on the flavor and the available toppings depended on the flavor a

How I interpret the setup that OP has, is that he some computer (a PI, an old laptop, a NUC, etc.) which is connected to drives in an external drive bay through USB. This is a somewhat common setup and is definitely a NAS. > For data use

I see that his NAS is using an external harddrive enclosure over USB. I'm really curious about how wise such a NAS setup is? In some ways it seems very attractive as you can just get a low-power SoC (like a Raspberry Pi or a NUC) and h

In my humble opinion the SO question and some of the comments here conflate "expressive" as it's used when talking about the theory of computation and "expressive" as it's used when comparing various high-level

This is a good article and I think it hits the nail on the head. There is one point I don't agree with though: > Syntactic uniformity also means there is a lot less room for syntax bikeshedding. Really the only thing you can bikeshe

I guess this is only of tangential relevance to the post, but Ctrl+n (which should work the same as arrow down) has been broken in Spotlight as of macOS Ventura. The fact that this completely standard binding has been broken in a crucial ma

I use Comic Code for programming[1]. At some point I got bored of all the squarish typewriter-like fonts that makes code look boring and mechanical. Comic Code is fun and human. 1: https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code

(+ 1 2 3) vs +(1 2 3) is just a small syntactic difference and has no bearing on whether the language is homo-iconic or not. The translation from code to data is equally trivial for both syntaxes.

Since no one has actually attempted to answer your question yet I'll give my guess as to why: I think Apple generally invested way too little time and developer talent into the development of Apple Music. I think this is evident in man

I'm glad you like KDE and by all means keep using it. It sounds like it's the right DE for you. That being said, your statements about macOS sounds like they are coming from someone who's never used it and are making a fairly

Yes, KCommandBar seems to do the same thing. Cool! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the reply. All the situations that you describe sounds very reasonable. I definitely wasn't trying to say "use PostgreSQL always", I too have used files and SQLite in various siturations. For instance, your second

I sometimes see recommendations like this and I just don’t get it. It’s not like setting up a PosgreSQL databases is hard at all? And using files? That just sounds like a horrible developers experience and problems waiting to happen. Databa

But TypeScript doesn’t have ADTs which you stated was a hard requirement. It has some other features that can achieve similar things though, so maybe that’s good enough?

The "new" in the headline refers to these compilers being newly ported to OpenBSD. OpenBSD also sometimes gets new features, sees new releases, etc. There's nothing weird about seeing "new" and "OpenBSD" i

There is a fundamental difference between the kind of extensions that Atom has and the type Code has. It's something that people often miss when they compare the two. Atom was made to be infinitely customizable by using web technology.
