You’ve done a great job summarizing the bad things they’re doing!
Walk me through this.
Before Spotify, I’d buy a record (physical or digital) and listen to that. I pay the artist once. After Spotify, I buy a record and listen to it on Spotify. I pay the artist the normal record price and there’s a long tail from stream payouts (unless they don’t reach the payout threshold).
Before Spotify, if someone heard a song and didn’t buy the record, they didn’t pay the artist. After Spotify, if they still don’t buy a record, the artist now earns from stream payouts.
Finally, before Spotify, if someone bought a record but stopped buying after Spotify, the artist loses that record purchase. This is definitely bad. Was Spotify the real reason? Would something other than Spotify have pulled them away? What levels of fame are materially affected by this?
Do artists have to pay to be on Spotify? Is that the issue?
No you just do a rebase to bring it in. Assuming you’re making atomic commits you shouldn’t have a ton of merge conflicts. If you have to do this a lot, your branch scope is really bad and the problem isn’t in how you’re using got, it’s in how you’re slicing work.
Quoting my response from elsewhere:
… FAANG. Hiring 500 engineers and bragging about it something you can do when you’re just interested in shareholder value not customer experience.
I wouldn’t hire the guy in the article because I haven’t seen strong candidates come from FAANG and I’ve been very happy to lose the people I did to FAANG because they weren’t good engineers, they just knew how to leetcode and tunnel vision trivia.
I’ve been using Terminator for years primarily because it’s portable. It predates a lot of the portable terminals in vogue right now. I haven’t really noticed a difference in using any of the newer ones so I haven’t switched. There’s some endowment effect there and sunk cost dotfiles.
If there’s a good comparison someone knows about that I should scope to understand what I’m missing I’m always curious!
Which of these is an example of bootlicking?
@Aboel3z@programming.dev are you ever going to interact with the community or are you just pushing your blog?
Also how did you solve this problem in 2010 if you only learned how to code in 2019?
This is the natural extension of what I was trying to say. There’s no need for accountability because that spends money that could be better spent on saving the world. The opportunity cost of doing literally anything other than saving the world is more than one life so we’re fucked if we do anything else.
Every time I think I can comprehend stupid people with lots of money shit like this happens.
I really like that you are benchmarking. I feel like there should also be something actionable here. What do I, as a Linux gaming consumer, need to look for? What are the things that will tell me a game will run better or worse?
I don’t know that I’d say The X-Files ripped off TNG. The time loop is a common plot device and Braga wasn’t the first to write it. It’s very common for authors to individually come to the same ideas when they have to create this volume of “what if” every single year, year after year. Braga says he wanted time without the screwed up timeline plot; that’s not a unique reaction by any stretch of the imagination.
If you’re talking about The X-Files episode “Monday” that was actually inspired by The Twilight Zone.

Thanks for citing for me. This is exactly what I was referring to!
