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

The unstable part is just compared to other versions of Debian. Every now and then a package dependency breaks, but usually nothing serious and you can still use the system until it is fixed within hours. It is not like the system will constantly crash, it is still linux.

I have used sid for years without any major problems. Usually only on desktop though.

security none existsnt. Aws security tools used to scream at you every time you open the aws console. Solution at the company was to restrict views to those pages so (most) people don’t see the security/vuln reports. To get reports, you’d have to ask cybersec.

Not going to lie, that is hilarious. And forget red flags, you have a whole squadron of semaphores right there.

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.

One problem with that use case is that you as the creator doesn’t control where (screen position) and how (font face, size, etc) the subtitles are rendered. The browser and user control that, so I doubt they would be widely used for meme because of this.

However, I do agree that it would be nice to have support for it for other reasons.

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.

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.

Re-binding caps lock is such a nice thing. I am a Perl programmer (yes, really), though not in emacs (vim all the way!)

I changed caps locks to $ and @ with shift decades ago. Especially since in my native layout they are awkward to reach.

And then there are things like strcmp() that uses 0 as true. At least it is for a good reason, but still confusing.

Also the storage is the cost for the user, and google in the case of play store. So the developers have no incentive to reduce the size.

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.

I just started skipping the first 1-2 pages of all ads, they usually just talk about what a fantastic company they are, etc. Just noise that no one is interested in, not even the ones lying about it.

At the end after all the fluff there is usually a description of what you are supposed to know and do. And if there isn’t, well I am not wasting my time with them.

Also, describing salary range seems very different in different countries

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!

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

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.
