I think the actual take is probably closer to “I wish we went back to a time when record companies would take a bet on anyone, regardless of the overall package, looks etc”
Which tbh, is probably more of a fairy tale view of years olden days than anything else.
I’m really curious if they can make video injection of ads cost effective.
It feels like mangeling video streams into one, potentially re-encoding the video as they go… sounds expensive
Oceania tends to refer to the region, including both Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia, and the many small island nations.
Sometimes, we are “collectivly” treated as a continent, despite being almost all island nations with no land boarders.
I’ve had… thoughts on this lately.
I do social dance (wcs) as one of my several hobbies. And I kind of compare ot to church now. We go once a week, we do the thing, and we have a community around it, with community leaders.
The world might be slowly leaving religion behind, but I have to wonder of we’re losing something else in the process.
(Find some WCA classes in your area, we’re all weird as fuck, it’s a often a community of introverts with a niche interest in common, and set rules of interaction (would you like a dance?))
is it decades of hacky code, or decades of battle tested code?
I haven’t touched wordpress in… many years, but I’ve seen far too many developers look at old code and call it junk… only to break things horrifically when they attempt a rewrite.

A port of a browser is relatively minimal effort. Typically, the changes are largely cosmetic, and occasionally skin deep.
Developing a browser, Firefox or Chrome, takes a huge amount of effort, and are on a similar scale to both Windows and Linux. It’s a lot. There are a lot of places to hide things. Taking all of that, and making V2 continue to work… well it’ll be alright to start with. It’s probably a flag somewhere currently. But in 2 years time? 5 years time? It will take a lot to keep V2 working, let alone back porting V3 features that people may actually want.
Just use Firefox instead.
DAM DAM?
ACDSee even shows thumbnails for Affinity Photo project files
You’re telling me there’s an image managing program out there, that works with Affinity, and for some reason people aren’t talking about it???
If they had library management even close to what lightroom offers, I’d be there.
I may yet jump ship for photoshop.
I think it’s far more likely there’s some sales goal and or performance indicator at play here.
I’m really hoping for thermite. A lot of thermite.
Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.
I set my default to duck duck go, and it’s getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity
This is pretty much it.
The city knows about your protest so they can plan accordingly.
They may also make requests of your protest, eg, could you self organise your own traffic wardens to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
It’s just that in America they realized if they complain enough, they get to rub they’re hands gleefully at the thought of all that electricity they’re going to sell, AND all the public money they’re going to get to upgrade the grid!
Assumedly, to deal with a race condition.
An ipod with a much larger screen (320×240 vs 480x320), a camera, and could take phone calls, browse the internet, and do email.
Oh, he was an absolute asshole. Seems I deleted that sentence. RIP me.
“I have enabled and ushered in a new age of knowledge access like no other, here’s a cool way to eat that goes against all reasonable nutritionists’ advice. Sounds good to me!” - Really seems like a fitting way to kick off this century IMO.
I think people love to hate Steve. The one thing people love more than a great figurehead, is hating one. I think that Steve had a great internal model of how to combine form/function.
iPhone wasn’t the first smartphone, but it may as well have been. It brought the smartphone to the mass market.
Part of it was a great advertising campaign, which unlike the smartphones at the time, pitched it as a luxury good as opposed to an executive enterprise one. You owned a blackberry to answer emails wherever and whenever you were, you owned an iphone so you can check Google Maps. A large part of it was redefining both the form factor, and use case of a smartphone.
The US won’t. The EU probably will.
This is my approach.
I have hubris. But also some self-awareness.
20-50% into broad market indexes. 50-70% into messing around and generic picks.
Of my own picks, only a few have outperformed the s&p50p. Some are… not good. If I happen to find another nvidia I’ll be very happy. If I don’t, I’ll be able to retire at a not unreasonable age.
