I assume you are using torrent based services?

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.

The answer is in the article. What if your peer has it activated? All your communication, screenshots etc will still be monitored.

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.

Are there any alternatives to that?

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...

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.

Well trees are a technology to capture co2, are they not?
