@JohannaSebauer @dumontverlag Toll, Johanna!

Hier kommt er nun, mein Debütroman! Er trägt den Titel #Nincshof und erzählt von einem burgenländischen Dorf, das vergessen werden möchte. Am 18. Juli erscheint er im @dumontverlag. Unwirkliche Vorfreude! ❤️ dumont-buchverlag.de/buch/sebauer-n…

A crude theory about tech I have is that the hard tech is shifting from the “app layer” into the “SaaS/infra layer” and that being good at tech in the top layer is going to be much less of an advantage since the bottom layer sells to everyone

I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this.

Now would be a great time for everyone on Twitter to subscribe to a newspaper.

I’ve investigated at length and determined that in order to be happy in any given city all you need is six close friends there

@WLoosen Ja! Die Wayback Machine hat sogar eine Kopie gezogen: web.archive.org/web/2018041307…

.@paulsolbach Du hast da doch auch eine Liste …?

@bernhardsson Either fails bc no interest from publishers, or Twitter/xyz acquires (@tryscroll)

I would easily double or triple my $ spend on news if I could sign up for something that gets rid of all paywalls. Massive bundling opportunity. Why doesn't this exist?

@halfbyte I first picked this up reading Lisa Gitelman's anthology on the matter. @namleti mitpress.mit.edu/books/raw-data…

@halfbyte Absolutely, from an engineering perspective, "raw data" makes sense and carries a clear shared meaning! Sociologists would argue it's also the result of agency, nudging, social constructs and so forth. Something to keep in mind, I guess.

Data facts: Against the implications of the term „raw data”, a pure and unadulterated form of data never exists.

When complete, the computer will connect 16,000 GPUs and have a capacity of 1 exabyte. spectrum.ieee.org/meta-ai-superc…

@spreeblick @Philip_Meinhold "Wer hat Burak erschossen" war auch schon klasse gemacht. Meinhold hat's einfach drauf.

@datenwolf Ah, interesting. It's <USB3 and exhibits noise in idle. Not suited for IEMs. But with the right headphones and during playback, I don't hear a thing.

@paulsolbach Is the USB connection USB-3, or does it use an older standard? USB-3 uses a different physical signalling scheme, namely it uses balanced, AC coupled signals, which are trivially to filter and isolate from the analog side. USB-1 and 2 are notorious for their 1kHz burst noise.

Super happy I made the switch from Spotify to Apple Music! Lossless and 96/24+ feels like falling in love with music all over again.

2nd edition of The Data Revolution just delivered. It's had a complete overhaul - 2 chapters deleted, 10 added (on critical data studies, dataveillance, data capitalism, governance, security, ethics, justice & activism, civil society), rest extensively revised. Now 50% longer.

What are your favorite personal newsletters on news media and business? I know and enjoy @baekdal, though not much else comes to mind.

@fulhack Repetition. Cooking up something in that space?

@___paul Specifically what do you find tedious? The development workflow?

Why aren't Lambdas (or Cloud Functions or whatever you call it) used more for backend development? Is it because the development workflow is lacking? Too expensive? Anything else?
