> Netflix is getting its recommendations for me completely wrong

As far as I can tell Netflix has no "recommendation engine". I have never noticed any correlation between the kind of show/movie I like and what it displays; it seems completely random, well, with a bias towards self-made content which presumably costs them less in licensing - almost all of which is made-for-TV level garbage of no interest to me in any format. I genuinely think I could write a better recommendation engine. I think sorting by basically anything - budget, popularity in my demographic, most watched until completion, would be better than whatever they have now.

Basically my only use for Netflix now is the occasional standup comedy special (which I have to search for by name), the rare occasion I suddenly think of a movie I want to watch and is actually there (also search by name), or to put other people in front of. I'd try HBO Go but for some idiotic reason it's not available in my area.

Frankly, if they can actually execute, I think Disney is going to clean Netflix's clock.
I have had similar thoughts. There is a lot to say about the information age, but I have mostly changed my perspective. I don't think it is a technological revolution, or more correctly because of the technological revolution, these things are happening. We probably overestimate how fast things change, and overlay what is an economic revolution onto recent technological development.

Shenzhen is sort of a good example since isn't actually that high tech. There is for sure innovation but it is mostly existing, and sometime even old, technology. It is both culturally and matter of fact disconnected from the West. Much more so than other centers in the region. It is economic factors that make manufacturing there possible more so than technological ones. You might even argue that USSR were more cutting edge, but of course US companies manufacturing there would have been mostly unthinkable.

The power outside of centers mostly weren't taken away by technology, but by trade, mergers and mortgages. Of course technology has a role, but I am not so sure much of it couldn't have happened by fax. I really think the movie wallstreet is more of an answer to what is happening than the social network is.
So you didn't like that I made a reference to that?
Sorry, the way I phrased that was sloppy. I should have said, "main author abandoned, saying NeoBundle ripped off code."

Anecdotally, I don't think it is choice fatigue that is causing a subscriber drop. I think it reflects a drop in the quality of their original content.

Compare early black mirror to what it is now. It's become far less of a "thinking" show, and much more of a "You should accept this, you shouldn't accept this" show.

What government agency allows you to see arbitrary other peoples salaries?
Different taxes affect different people differently. Sales tax primarily hits poor people for example - there’s only so much the rich can spend their money on. Bracketed income tax can be made to have low impact for lower income while boosting revenue. Property taxes tax the permanent residents but misses out the opportunity of, let’s say, taxing the tourists. Those are all levers.
There was a recent article on economist that compared the tax models of California and Texas. One has a progressive income tax but crippled property tax and the other has no income tax but a steady property tax. Everything from the risk to revenue and the impact it has on the people vary so much. Neither is good in a way. The best system will use all three in the right proportion.

I used to shell into servers a lot and open vim to edit files, so I'm quite comfortable with a sparse configuration. But when I'm developing software, I want features, and these days I spend most of my time doing development. My current setup is I use Spacemacs for development work, but I use a very minimalist vim configuration for quick edits. This gives me the best of both worlds - very quick, responsive editor that I can use reliably and efficiently. And a good development experience that is easy on my fingers.

One thing that frustrates me about Netflix is how I'll watch an item X but after a few minutes decide I don't like it and watch something else. My home screen will be clouded for quite some time with recommendations based on X. How are they missing such an obvious signal that I didn't like X?
Good. I hate that crap.

I started my programming career determined to be a vim guru and do all my programming with vim.

This was misguided and after a year of wasted productivity and wasted time fiddling with plugs and dealing with broken stuff (surely by my own hand) I switched to a professional IDE and I rapidly became a much better developer.

I use vim constantly now but in it's most plain vanilla form, for the purpose of editing files when logged into Linux systems. That's all I use it for.

I really wish however that every Linux system had a clone of the old DOS edit command which was beautifully simply and straightforward and met most needs highly intuitively.

As a sidenote: can I just say that PyCharm is an incredible IDE and I can recommend it heartily to anyone. If your job is programming then it is many times over worth paying the money for the professional edition.
I used to like Netflix content because it felt like they were telling me a story which they had thought through and I would get to see to its end... or I'd even finally get an ending to some shows other networks/services killed too soon. To me, Netflix content strategy was saying "storytelling is what is important," and "we want to make sure we find and tell the best stories." New ones, old ones, great stories just the same...

Anymore, I do not believe this to be true, and feel sort of silly for thinking it ever was true. It's become quite obvious their strategy is create new shows to lure people in, and then cancel them (because they'd have to pay the stars more), rinse repeat, hoping more people stay than leave. They do not care about finishing the stories they're telling, or the stories at all, they don't care about content, they care about growth.

Honestly, anymore, I don't even want to watch Netflix shows because they'll probably get canceled before they end.

Edit: small grammar fix
As with many companies, municipalities and states incurred liabilities for contractual promises whilt not fully funding them, kicking the can down the road.

What typically happens is that either national government baols out the fund, retirees get squeezed, or both. The true beneficiaries are past taxpayers who benefitted from government service delivery based on promised pension benefits to employees, but who skipped on paying the bill at the time.

Oddly, you hear far less about private sector failures in this regard. In part because defined-benefit plans are largely extinct, but the abysmal failure of individualised defined-contribution (401k / IRA) programmes is just the same problem undrr a different flag. But private sector has been dodging this far more than public.

There's more to this, yes. Some of it is government corruption and graft. Mancur Olsen's "The Logic of Collective Action', describing both pensioners' and taxpayers' (mostly a small group of highly-motivated wealthy) very self-interested lobbying to maximise commitments whilst skirting payments is far more instructive.
Right - I just feel like it takes things entirely too far. Not every signal deserves a boost that takes a certain genre of suggestions up to 11.

These recommendation systems need to be a bit less zealous; I like black pepper, too, but that doesn't mean I want a huge bowl of black peppercorns in cream sauce for dinner.

I'll try to give a very probably incorrect answer with relevance to Linux.

NET includes the common language runtime which can take code from any of the NET languages (C#, F# and VB or any language which compiles to IL) and run it in a managed environment like the JVM.

In addition it has a huge (and I'm my opinion brilliant) standard library.

Since Microsoft started NET Core (which is fully open source) it has been possible to build and run NET on multiple platforms. As of the latest version (3) they also ported WPF and Winforms to NET Core but crucially these parts will not run outside of Windows. Full Windows only Framework as opposed to Core has continued to exist on its own release schedule in order to support all the legacy Windows only stuff. The latest plan seems to be to unite Core and Framework in the next version with cross platform for non desktop parts preserved. However for Web apps and command line tools current Core's all cross platform and surprisingly performant. Open source has really helped Core in performance terms, I've seen some tests put Kestrel (Core Web server) in the top 5 servers.
Netflix to me is not much more than a pretty bland version of Huxley's "Feelies". Actually most modern TV show stories would fit nicely into one or two well edited movies. I find all of this very comparable to the food in our super markets - lots of nutritionally empty calories and cheap canola oil. Time badly wasted and truly dystopian - all this zombie-like "binging" is way worse than "bread and games".
A lot of this would be solved by knowing how much people make, what they spend it on and where the money came from.

If you want democracy, let people vote on who is a scumbag, investigate those people's financial history and if it's confirmed, ex-communicate them from society.

That'd border on real democracy however, so I don't see it taking place anytime soon :)

The slow downs usually comes from abstraction layers. If you just use the api it will be fast. But if you create 1 million new objects and have 2 million function calls in excess on every frame it will be slow. Eg. If you dont like imperative style it will be slow. A compilation step and a bunch of optimization runs could make anything fast thought.

This ties nicely with another HN post just a few days ago [1] where a person heavily involved in civil engineering talks about why he moved away from the free market view of city growth.

You have a bunch of struggling cities without any funding for basic services, that spend massive amounts in attempt to attract businesses without a way to recoup losses. Which causes a sort of nasty cycle where people move towards cities which have more resources.

Since the word 'taxes' is essentially a forbidden word, the only option is for these cities to receive federal assistance. Or else get left behind even further.

This is a guess but perhaps your subtitles are in Spanish, and you never use them so they are hidden?
That’s not a requirement specified anywhere. The “Protecting the API Key“ section talks about using a proxy specifically in the context of client-side applications (think of things like 1Password that integrate w/ HIBP), where embedding the API key into the app is obviously undesirable. In those cases, using a proxy allows managing the request volume and injecting the API key.

That same section of the document describes other scenarios, like a hosted service or a CLI tool, that do not involve a proxy service.

From my experience, in those type of situations, nobody is actually listening. Also there is no experienced person there to explain the project and... there is so much technical debt that no one can do anything about it.
We seem to be reaching peak streaming, the point at which the addition of more streaming services may result in a net loss of streaming consumption because the interesting content is too spread out and it's too expensive or inconvenient to subscribe to them all.

It's rather like each streaming service is turning into its own version of a TV channel. It's almost the vision of a'la cart cable pricing, only each channel is too expensive and the UX too cumbersome to subscribe to more than a small handful.

Perhaps in a few years, streaming aggregators will appear and bundle a bunch of services together, and the internet will have reinvented Cable TV.

Coming from experience with Solr, the answer is far simpler than the link in the sibling comment indicates: Data is processed and manipulated on import, and it's difficult - sometimes impossible, depending on the field config - to get that data back out in the format it was imported.

Any changes to the schema, such as switching fields between indexed/not indexed/stored/not stored, requires reimporting the data to populate those fields, data which you're not likely to have if it was your primary store.
Another thing why i prefer using vscode over phpstorm is that i can use vscode for almost every language. Mainly a php/react/typescript dev, but when working on other projects written in go, python or rust i just van use the same ide which i really like!
To each their own! I'm a very effective python AND go programmer / sysadmin who uses vim for most all of my IDE stuff. I've also managed Linux professionally since 2005 and played with it since 1998 so it isn't for everyone.

My main vim plugins for this use case:

* go.vim
* nerdtree
* git-gutter
* YouCompleteMe
* syntastic + flake8
* black.vim # python equiv of gofmt

This is only for my workstations. I prefer vanilla configs for servers.
This is THE reason I stopped using Netflix. Besides being bombarded with sound, I was actually halfway reading the description when it is replaced with a running video.

When my CC was stolen (and blocked), Netflix was the only company who put my service on hold instead of a small grace period which fits the non-customer centric direction they take nowadays, but also my opportunity to see if I could live without Netflix.

After 2 months, I do not miss Netflix at all. I deleted the apps and I am now on Hulu and Amazon Video.

I've also started a small collection of DVD/Blu-rays with my favorite shows which I lost. You can pick up complete series on eBay for affordable prices.
> There's not a limit[0] on the amount of energy that can be supplied from renewable sources.

Yes there is, the limit is how many power plants have been currently built.

So this new ban by Berkeley is very very foolish and counterproductive. Right now, today, by making people heat with electricity instead of natural gas, they force additional electrical generation with coal or natural gas, and since there is a ton of transmission waste, it's even worse.
I just made a quick greasemonkey script that disables the autoplay at the top but leaves up the jpg splash. If anyone's interested I can share it.
I share the same thoughts. That's why I even wonder how data scientists and UX/UI folks, who work at Netflix, feel like when their recommendations to the management are not heeded by the latter. Maybe Netflix data scientists have a hard time finding useful insights out of the trove of data they have.
Cable subscriptions are a single subscription that gives you access to everyone's content. Netflix's digital innovation is that they did it at a tenth the price.

Now that all the content creators have realized the digital value of their content, it doesn't matter for Netflix whether those networks splinter it out into 20 different subscriptions or hide it behind 1 expensive cable subscription again. Netflix doesn't have that content so they lose either way.

Their only way forward is to become just another content network, OR a cable provider with the same elevated subscription cost. Whichever way they lean, the stock will tumble until they're in line with all their competitors. The gap has been closed.
I'll bite.

After a several month effort to learn vim bindings and use them full-time, I eventually ended up weaning myself back off because the plugins for the editors I actually use all seemed to come with considerable downsides.

vscode-vim caused odd performance issues, and I encountered significant bugs with the undo stack (namely hitting 'u' would sometimes take out the last 10-15 changes instead of just one). IDEAvim would randomly go completely unresponsive for me, sometimes requiring just re-opening the file and sometimes requiring a restart of the entire IDE. And last I checked the Xcode plugin requires re-signing the entire binary with a self-signed certificate because the new plugin system won't support modal editing.

I was quite happy with neovintageous in Sublime, as well as Sublime's excellent performance in general, but no matter how many plugins I installed it could never seem to come close to the smarts of the other tools I was using.

Ultimately I just arrived the the conclusion that I'm never going to be happy with any editor and decided to make the best of what I could with a consistent set of keybindings across the tools I use.

That said, every time I edit my hosts file or something on a remote server and reach for vim, I wonder if I made the wrong choice. I'm really hoping Language Server Protocol becomes the standard and we reach the point where it no longer matters what editor we use.

I personally cannot stand dubbed shows, but YMMV. It just comes across as way too fake. Also I attribute at least half of my ability to speak English well to the fact that NRK - and cinemas - in Norway never bothered to dub everything, unlike in Germany, France, etc.

I just wish for dialogue only English subtitles of English language content: I'm not deaf, I just can't always hear the mumbling if I haven't turned my good old Rotel 5.1 system to 11. I have no issues hearing (clears throat), (coughs), (rain falls) and (engine rumbling) .. yet I'm forced to see these using the SDH subs as none other are available. It's great that they are there, but we also need non-SDH subs.
I use a bunch of plugins and I've never had trouble remembering the defaults in the odd case I'm unable to use my own config.

I don't get why the top comment on all vim threads is always recommending using poor defaults your whole life so you can avoid learning to configure it or avoid a second of confusion when you're ssh'd somewhere.

Maybe everyone else besides me spends all their time ssh'd into random servers.
