Just a matter of time until you can’t chose what to watch on the lowest tier, you have to follow their playlist of what you should watch.

And we have come full circle back to broadcast TV

Pretty naive to think someone isn’t doing it already, but as someone else said you don’t need to shutdown for it. Infact it is worse if you shut down as you don’t get new data.

I think that is just an effect of growing, or at least not shrinking and sticking around. There is ni point in spaming somewhere where there are no active users.

You fool! The en passant odds are through the roof!

Well it makes sense if you think about it.

You invest a million dollar in 100 companies, 95 fail, 4 makes 10 million each. If the last one hits at least 60 million you are even, anything above is pure profit. Basically just throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks.

Personally I think mandatory voting is a bad idea. It will not make then suddenly care, they will just vote for lolrolfcopter party.

The US does a lot of bad things around voting, but it being on a workday is probably the biggest hurdle. Most other countries have it on a weekend or holiday. That means that most people can go vote and not have to chose between potentially getting fired and vote. Which, to no surprise mostly affects lower income voters.

Also combined with the witch hunt on mail in voting makes it very hard for lower income people to vote. Which is by design.

Or even worse, password field doesn’t work with paste.

Yepp. Started using Debian around the Ham/Slink releases, haven’t found any reason to change yet.

It says “could” not “will”, so they will just never implement that part.

The funny thing is that the cookie warning only applies to tracking cookies, for stuff like session cookies you do not need it.

But it is always easier to just nag the user too many times than to risk something, so everyone just adds the warning anyway.

Also, IANAL so don’t trust me!

Yeah, that is just how youtube works. You as an individual can say you don’t like annoying thumbnails and titles, but they 100% work. And channels that don’t use them are just not getting as many viewers.

Missed to change the legend to “North Canada” or just simply “Canada”

I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.

Has Golang fizzled? It has struck me as too primitive, but basically on the right track.

My biggest issue with Golang by far is the close tie to Google. They are not our friendly innovator, time and time again they make decisions that will help them earn more ad money, and nothing else. And they have a lobg history of releasing something and then never fix the issues with it, and then more or less abandon it.

Other than that there are afaik some other issues with go, I’m not an expert but from what I hear the GC is quite aggressive and you can’t tell it to run when you want. Doing something time sensitive? Well, bad luck. GC time!

Eh, git is good but it is not like he invented source control. Before git there were subversion and before that CVS, along with a lot of others (mostly pay to use).

Git does some things really good and has become more or less the de-facto standard, it does other things not so good (like binary files). But it is not unique.

It sort if have to be. In the end there has to be one source of truth for each TLD, otherwise who is to say who owns foo.com, and what it resolves to?

And then the same structure for assigning TLD ownership.

But there is nothing stopping you from running another DNS service, call it DNS2 with different root servers, etc. It is just going to be extemely hard to convince people to use it.

I never recline my seat, but if I was sitting infront of that guy I would move it down for a bit. Then up again. Then down again. Etc for however long the flight is

Good advice.

Also, work on your form and not to increase weights. So many are doing some weird sort of back swing exercise when doing curls for, example

I guess it was actually “VCR Plus+” which is dumb af

Ah yes, who doesn’t like C Plus+?

Yes, but it is also very different. I have a VR headset and use it every now and then. But compared to “normal” gaming it is quite different.

When playing a non-VR game you can just minimize the game and check stuff between rounds/matches/when you pause/etc. With VR I feel like you have to be there all the time, and the headsets are still heavy so you can’t play as long. Not to mention you are usually standing.

I like VR and think it will be good eventually, but it is not there yet. It is 100% playable as it is, but the overall tech is not quite there yet.
