I was always wondering about how this approach could provide "instant playback".
This is the one feature that keeps me ensnared to the big streaming services TBH.
It's hard to get into the matter if one does not have much time to scoop information from the web.
I am a heavy user of spotify and their "station/radio" feature. Like a song? Go to it's song-station and explorer other songs like it.
It's this kind of discovery that keeps me using Spotify.
I feel like many of the points are complaining about the parsing side of JSON. Not the format itself.
You can argue that a format is useless when "everyone" parses it "wrong" but no specification on this earth is free of that.
Using a lot of json in our API space and it working fine (so far) leads me to think that OP complains about something that does not fit their use-case.
Firing people for choosing something that does not fit "your" use-case seems like a wild take.
Depends on the type of immortality. If we can fight typical aging processes, then a big part of the problem you state would go away.
Old brains don't learn and think as fast as young ones do, this has purely to do with ageing and cell/dna defects over time.
Old people are not hyped by AI and new tech, because most of them don't understand them and i think this has much to do with the reason stated.
Not to say there is not a possible psychological problem for us when living forever, it just cannot be researched right now because, you know, we tend to die.
Let alone the implications.. insurance, prison sentences, housing, population and control of it...
If you want to use powertoys run, i highly recommend the plugin for everything here. [1]
Everything [2] is an indexer that will make finding your local files super fast.
If you couple those two, you have a launcher that is able to find all files on your drive very fast (and launch applications of course).
Komorebi is quite good, although it has it quirks with some applications that spawn child processes.
Make sure to make yourself familiar with application specific configs, there's already a whole community-driven config for that [1]. But all in all it's very beginner friendly, since it does enable you to float windows still (and pause komorebi).
This is worthy of some sources, no? People on HN, technology professionals, might hate office. But we're not majority and I've never seen researched/polled numbers about hating office...
Where i work the only way to get a noticeable jump in salary is promotion. I call this "horizontal scaling" of salaries.
I believe the "vertical scaling" of salaries would be a better fit. Some already have it in tariffs, most of the time there are tough limits to what you can earn as "simple developer/project manager/sales clerk".
So yes, probably promotions are not the right action often, but the other options need to be improved.
edit: i lacked the explanation of vertical scaling:
rising salary in the job you are currently doing and building expertise and experience. Opposed to being horizontally moved to a whole different job where your expertise is probably worse.
There are still issues with density not working well with some angular Material controls. This forced us to do some hacky css stuff. Some of the github issues have been open a long time now...
Been a Windows Main my whole life. Bought the steam deck a year ago and it was awesome. Bought a new pc couple of weeks ago and installed linux mint. Few minor issues, resolved in net 2hours. Since then it has been a breeze.
Developing, gaming, even running Windows apps is no problem anymore.
You'd think that the progression in computer technology brings you faster apps that need less ressources.
But instead we tend to waste them in ever growing tech stacks. Browsers are nearly OSes now, apps are running in a container, emulating a browser.
All in the name of platform independence.
I wonder what a system with native bare metal apps would look like today and how far you can push down the hardware requirements while still having a snappy experience in - let's say - a basic office job (mails, sheets, documents, browsing)
But "You bought too little RAM to read mails" is simply hilarious.
Yes, the user can install mail clients, but not everybody is tech savvy enough for that.
The AAA game industry has created this problem themselves. They need to milk gamers and satisfy investors alike.
Most of the arguments in the article fall apart when you think about good indie game studio.
I've been thinking a lot about what my problem is.
It's the talking itself. and talking and talking.
It's this instagram-twitter good-riddance "i spread the message for karma" thing that's so hip today.
Everybody presents the message, and only the corpos are to blame.
Where's the leverage the consumer has with their behaviour? Why don't we use that?
Because it's uncomfortable. People want to travel 2 times a year, they want infinite stock in the supermarket, they want more, now, fast.
I don't mind people talking. But at the end it's useless if these people don't act also until we're fully renewable (or near that)
I agree for some of us, Greta is not doing good PR for this topic.
I like the more calm, scientific approach.
That being said i think that many people really don't care UNTIL it hurts them directly.
Until then i am on the Kepp calm and carry on boat, but i share my practices of ressourcefulness to others.
That starts with how i wash my hands over better planning my food logistics to reduce spoilage/waste to driving around unnecessarily.
I think small things multiplied by thousands of people go a long way and it's really the only thing i can do.
They cannot be serious saying that now law enforcement is better than a bad one.
The latter you can at least try to change by joining and being a good guideline on how to be.
I know that sounds idealistic... but what are the alternatives?
- A "new" police? What should make this better on second try?
- No Police? I cannot imagine what would happen with people
- A police that plays within the rules? Now i extend my argument on law people involved. They also have many bad actors and again the only chance i see is to be a good actor.
The great thing about Obsidian is that it still uses plaintext (it's not obsidian exclusive, i know).
In case of issues with the tool, you can view and edit files in an editor.
It also makes syncing stuff / backups very easy.
Since you're probably having a kind of syntax already it won't be hard to change.
With a proper keyboard, it's super fast to create and link notes.
On mobile it sucks hard. Things like "[text](linkForText)" are not very mobile-friendly.
One big gripe i have is the table editor.
There is an advanced table add-in to help, but it still sucks.
Create a table and put a long link into it.
Well-known keys like "end" or "pos1" don't do the expected. "TAB" will add fields... i don't know, this should be better.
