This behavior is not confined to Apple TV. Isn't it the same on every client? Roku and the web interface are both guilty as well.

Yes, the autoplay preview is very annoying, but I also find annoying the little information provided in the thumbnail gallery. To see more info about a title, you have to select the thumb to go to a full screen view of the title. Except now the actual video starts to play even though there is clearly a play button that was not clicked. At this point, all the play button does is hide the overlay. The buttons have no real meaning/purpose.

Your advice is worse. Situations like this are entirely a game of dick swinging. If the IT department wants to become a room of ineffectual little shrinking-violet yes-men, then why would you want to work there in the first place?

I get what you're saying, and I think that most corporate IT departments run themselves as little fiefdoms with false pretensions of importance and power. But if someone is insisting upon running systems that don't conform to reasonable standards of the company, then something needs to be done. I would consider requiring that device to be isolated from the network with a small firewall.

But the waiver is a good idea—though unlike your assumption that it would be handled by an junior, such matters ought to be sent up the chain to the CIO or equivalent, and it should be the responsibility of the CIO to get the signature or take personal responsibility themselves.

> Except there isn't a lack of evidence unless you require more evidence for Jesus than every other historical figure. Are you going to say there's now no evidence for Alexander the Great? What about Socrates? What about Pythagoras? That's the exact point so many people have tried to make -- there's just as much evidence, if not more, for Jesus than for these other people.

It's the exact point so many (apologists) make. Unfortunately it's not true.

Source: https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/7924

> Furthermore, if it's an appeal to authority to rely on scholars in a given field (many of whom are agnostic or atheist, yet still realize that there probably was a historical Jesus)

Exactly how what percent are atheists?

> After all, saying you believe in global warming is just an "appeal to authority". And so is trusting Carrier.

Yes, but the difference is we have evidence for global warming, but we don't for Jesus.

> Speaking of which here's one (of many) sources detailing why Carrier's ideas fail [0] and are basically dogmatically motivated -- which is hilarious since it's exactly what you accuse religious scholars of.

Did you link to the right article? This is a religious website, which merely shows one journal disagreed with Carrier. It has no mention of evidence against Carrier's claims nor does it show Carrier is dogmatically motivated. Is this all you got?

> Also, Galileo did not believe it was flat, and there's plenty of sources during the Late Middle Ages that basically state they knew the earth was a sphere.

FYI Galileo was imprisoned in the 1600s by the Roman Inquisition for promoting the idea that the earth was a sphere that revolved around the sun. Just because plenty of sources knew the earth was a sphere doesn't mean it was consensus. Plenty of scholars believe Jesus is made up, yet here we are.
I used to know someone who claimed he thought he had met someone who knew classified information about nuclear bombardment being lied about to the lay public. (good) Neutron bombs can cleanly sweep human level bipeds but that problem is explored also in the "Gant" (not sure if available in your area) science fiction about the food chain being linked to impossible to eliminate critical nexuses of worm stuff under the ground. These would also get hit by a good neutron bomb, depending on burst down effect. Anyway, I used to have a good close friend who possibly on face recall who had a great hobby of photographing the other people exploring abandoned mining towns. Neat scrapbooks are like Old People Magic, kind of High Weird. Not every scrapbook is selected for the same hot valence either. Roadside Picnic got turned into a mythological video game but is also a wonderful movie and then also there's supposed to be the original book itself. Not all asylee in quiet American have the same disposition but there may be different wonderful tapeworms inside them training their lack of reaction to supposed reactional prevarication.
Are we talking about 2 different types of autoplay? Yes, the autoplay of the next episode feature can be a waste of bandwidth, but that's why they put up the "are you still watching" after X number of episodes/TRT/whatever. Besides, it's a nice feature when you are trying to marathon through stuff, especially when they allow you skip openings/recaps of something you just saw. I pushed for my company to allow the Play All on DVDs to do this very thing.

It's the autoplay of trailers/previews while browsing their library that is the most annoying. This is definitely a waste of bandwidth for me. And while maybe not a dark pattern, it's annoying as much as popup UI stuff or in social feeds, ads in news, etc.
Hindsight is 20/20 but this idea is definitely one of the worst ideas I've heard when it comes to applied gameification. Perhaps unlocking some sort of extra content would've been better, but handing out badges is such a deliberate way to signal to parents that "we are trying to hook your kids".

A London plumber told me once he spends a lot of time in super poorly made new builds. Construction firms build them super shitty but with a five/ten year guarantee, take the money, then declare themselves bankrupt. The guarantee is worthless because the firm is gone, they make a ton of cash on the build, they set up again and rinse and repeat. I assume it's a little more complicated than that, but he said he'd seen it a lot and spends a lot of time fixing problems he shouldn't. Is this similar in Sydney?

In Poland, this makes Home Alone and Die Hard both Christmas movies. Ever since I was a kid, I remember both being on TV during Christmas days. Hell, people actually made quite a large uproar couple years ago, when the TV station showing Home Alone decided not to show it on Christmas, and AFAIR they eventually changed the programming to keep it.
> Supplemental sales taxes vary by county in almost all circumstances.

There are lots of cities in CA with supplemental sales tax; for a partial list, see [0] and note the table under “Cities with highest combined sales tax rates by county”, every listed entry that isn't “countywide” results from either a city or sub-county special district (or both) having a local supplemental sales tax, and the listing only includes the cities with the highest such taxes in each county.

This is a perfect response.
Precisely. I've always thought it was particularly astute of them to include that line. I think guidelines like that are why HN isn't the toxic wasteland that many other communities filled with people of different viewpoints become. HN is enough of a melting pot that it could go in that direction, and I've always been impressed that people here generally manage not to.

Talk about overthinking it! This thread highlights the recurrent conflict that arises because my Myers-Briggs personality type is INFJ, but most programmers are not.

To me a Christmas movie is a movie with the spirit of Christmas running through it, however weakly. Another definition I have is this. A Christmas movie is a movie that is fun to watch around Christmas. Die Hard meets both of these definitions.

Die Hard is not, however, a typical Christmas movie. It's a movie more for people who are sick of the normal Christmas movies and want a break. Because of this special status, people who think of Die Hard as a Christmas movie feel a greater camaraderie than people who think, say, White Christmas is a Christmas movie. For example, at a Christmas party one of my friends wore, as his "Christmas sweater," a gray sweatshirt with the words "Ho ho ho" written in red.

Another thing that makes Die Hard special is the thought and care that the director put into it, https://vimeo.com/76739972

He's masking what is squarely his opinion through a twisting of facts. That irks me. Several comments here have given solid rebuttals.
Yup.

I have my differences of opinion with most UI/UX teams I worked with (in particular, I don't buy the trend of making software as easy as possible at all costs; it leads to dumbing down and reduced utility). But I'm not blaming UX people for this. They have as much to say in this topic as developers about third-party JS bloat - i.e. we can all complain all we want, out of practicality or morality, and ultimately the decisionmakers don't care.

Indexing into a List

sub lookup ( List \xs, Int \index ){…}

Make sure the index is valid.

sub lookup ( List \xs, Int \index where 0 ..^ xs.elems ){…}

The `where` clause gets attached to the `Int` typecheck.

---

I think it may also apply if you have other limitations that you need to check regularly, like making sure that strings fit into a database.

sub foo ( Str \name where .chars ≤ 256 ){…}

Which Perl6 has the ability to give that a name as if it was a type so that it can be reused.

subset DB-Str of Str where .chars ≤ 256;

sub foo ( DB-Str \name ){…}

my DB-Str $name = '';

$name = 'a' x 10000;
# Typecheck error

---

One use of this feature is to implement the UInt type (This is almost exactly how it is implemented in the Rakudo implementation of Perl6)

subset UInt of Int where {$_ >= 0};

---

Then again I've never read any that talk about Perl6 as already having that feature; so maybe I'm mistaken.

I would guess that they are talking about something slightly different. (That often seems to be the case)
Thanks for your detailed report! I'm a contributor to a couple of those projects, and it's great to see this kind of feedback.
Program the lights to come on 30 minutes earlier then. An overcast day and a new moon vs a day with high cirrus overhead and clear skies to the west almost surely has more variability than 5 minutes' difference.
Actually, nowhere in the Gospels or Pauline letters does it say Jesus was a living person. These documents are written in the same way as the stories of Hercules or any other mythological figure.

Most of the folks who hung around that Silk's Tavern group, both villains and good guys & myself included had a thinner veneer of RP than folks like Xavori.

> Josephus' Antiquites recounts the stoning of Jesus' brother James by the High Priest he would serve with in the Jewish Revolt.

The mention of James "brother of the Lord" does not actually refer to him as a biological brother. "Brother of the Lord" is believed to be the tagline/name for James as a priest.

> These are only one generation after Jesus' death.

Not true, the first source was born more than one full life-span later, making it two generations after.

> People who knew Jesus were still alive.

This is also not true. There is no evidence of this.

Yes I remember this, every time, as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram made it more and more difficult to keep your feed in chronological order.

It is nakedly a psychological trick to give you a mixture of things you've seen before and new content to make you feel like you should try again more often - the slot machine strategy. No one asked for it.

Of course it helps that ads are easier to integrate into a feed when you don't even know what to expect in your feed in the first place.

So now, not only do these platforms not give a feed of pages and people I subscribe to, they litter my feed with ads and 'popular content' that I never subscribed to! otherwise how could they charge money to increase your organic reach?

what a crock! It was a marketers' dream to have their latest news and coupons delivered to your inbox and have you actually look at them, but if you subscribe to businesses you want to follow, how can the ad network make money? So they turned everyone into a customer of their ad platform, and held your content hostage until you paid up. This has effected numerous friends that are small content producers that maxxed out facebook's 5,000 friend limit and all they wanted was to invite all of their fans to their next event.
