The biggest technical challenge we came across is that when I had to hire my replacement we couldn’t find competent developer talent. Everybody NEEDED everything to be jQuery and querySelectors but those were far too slow and buggy (jQuery was buggy cross browser). A good A/B test must not look like a test. It has to feel and look like the real thing. Some of our tests were extremely complex spanning multiple pages performing varieties of interactions. We couldn’t be dicking around with basic code literacy and fumbling through entry level beginner defects.

I was the team developer and not the team analyst so I cannot speak to business assumption variance. The business didn’t seem to care about this since the release cycle is slow and defects were common. They were more concerned with the inverse proportions of cheap tests bringing stellar business wins.
Except no ad-free service remains ad-free forever. Sooner or later, subscriber growth slows down, and the standard playbook to continue to grow revenue is:

(a) introduce new products that require additional subscriptions (but eventually the company runs out of new products to introduce),

(b) raise subscription fees a tiny little bit every year (but there's a limit to how much any company can do that without angering customers too much), and

(c) break existing ad-free plans into new tiers of service, some or all of which have... ads.
Maybe we should run the code twice on different cpu architecures and only accept the results if they are identical. I’ve heard of high reliability environments doing this, but maybe there are cases for doing it in web/IT as well.

This would help catch a large variety of possible errors, including but not limited to cpu bit flips, cpu bugs, memory errors.

Do you know of any Android TV / smart tv box which has a USB port?

I am currently building a magic mirror like smart map. Basically, the goal is to have a big touchscreen with Google maps or Google earth running.

For touch screen support I bought a cheap USB infrared frame. I have tested it with the USB C port of my Android phone and it works well, but I have sadly not found any Android TV box which has an USB port.

That's Nvidia's choice to use default launcher. It's not like Google does not allow their partners to adapt OS. I agree about blaming Google first, but it's device from Nvidia, customer will not research where each particular application or part came from.

The development process is totally different when you write structured types first and then write your logic. 10/10 would recommend.

Unless you were writing very small throwaway scripts, in what world where you writing your logic first and thinking about your data structures later?
> Some programs also have several variants of “without formatting”. Excel is a good example (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/paste-options-8ea...). Which one should be the default?

Most of those are very specific versions of formatting or specialty features.

The only ones that would qualify as "paste without formatting" are "formulas" and "values" modes, and of those two I'd probably say "formulas" is a better default.
But not all social media are the same. HN for example, is the only social media that I consume completely (news feeds + comment section). Everything else I limit as much as I can.. what makes HN so much better than the others? Lack of ads? Moderation?
The problem isn't strictly long-term rise. The big issue is the threshold where storm surges from hurricanes overwhelm our ability to block it and pump out what gets through. New Orleans is well into recovery from Hurricane Katrina, but the next direct hit will arrive inches higher than 2005 if it happens in the 2020s. How high does a wall need to be to block the storm surge of the monster hurricanes of the coming decades?

Lift is the result of induced rotation of the fluid. Both the higher speed of airflow over one side of a cambered airfoil (bernoulli) and the redirection of the airflow (newton) are results of this, not causes. This is also why you get wingtip vortices, why flettner rotors work, why curveballs curve, and many other such readily observable phenomena. This has been well understood for over a century.
Well, I don't know how your friends and families are, but mine are quite racist and quite hateful of minorities and they were that way long before the internet.

Facebook just shows that, it doesn't change it. I think that most people (specially white, heterosexual and not poor) were simply living in a bubble of ignorance thinking the world was a much better place that it actually is and social media simply popped that bubble and showed reality for everybody to see. And now they are angry at Social media in a classical shoot the messenger reaction.

I agree with the folks saying Stuxnet but about 15 years ago I was selling PHP services to small businesses. Drupal, Joomla, and Wordpress. I woke up one morning to what was apparently at that time the largest automated attack in history. Almost all of my clients pages were defaced with a few different versions of the same site. The background of the page was dark blue with the silhouette of a man on a horse waving a scimitar over his head. The sites had gifs of gold 3D text that spun around. I don’t remember what it said, but I do remember the message varied slightly on each site. Also the pages autoplayed audio, again not consistent site to site but I remember most played recordings of a Muslim call to prayer. The imagery and audio seemed inconsistent ideologically so I never felt it was religiously motivated, it felt more like some white boys trying to do shit they thought would freak out other white folks.

The hacks didn’t destroy anything, they for sure could have after I looked into the exploit. It was an easy fix though. I think I remember reading that a hundred thousand or more PHP sites were hit. I saved copies of the sites because I honestly thought it was exciting. My customers did not share my excitement. I’m also moved to Python after that. I never looked into it more, I’m gonna go do some digging and see if the folks who did it piped up to own it.
tvOS has the same problem I’m afraid.
> What's the alternative? Be only on one platform? Not viable today. Implement 5 different apps, usually not viable.

I think remote learning is great, and I've benefited greatly from MOOCs for example, as well as online course materials, textbooks, and videos. It's great for self-directed learning, and it can be very good if you can get personalized help and guidance from an instructor.

However, Kindergartens, labs, and in-person campuses can be better for:

- social interaction

- learning from other students

- personal attention from teachers

- hands-on stuff: tools, toys, books, notebooks, art and craft supplies, lab equipment, etc.

- engaging your non-visual senses

- physical movement and exercise

Come up with some innovative ways to monetize, beyond just the usual ads and tracking and dirty tricks to boost engagement. The article has a few decent directions.

I'd start with adding an option to set up paid private subreddits. Like, the creator specifies that you have to subscribe to that sub for some monthly cost in order to see / interact with the content, with a percentage skimmed off the top. It seems like it'd be really easy to implement the most basic version of it and see what users do.

There's already a ton of stuff kind of like that. Tons of people pay for a creator's content on Patreon and various special-purpose copycats, and many of them include access to a private Discord in that. No reason why Reddit couldn't take over a chunk of that, since it's convenient to have all of the content and all of the community discussion features on the same platform.

Lots of ways to expand if it catches on, like multiple subscription levels, different levels of permissions for different subscription levels, etc.

Did you look at what Wikileaks revealed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks#Leaks

I don't think you realize the scale of what is happening. These aren't some cute human mistakes or tax evasion.

We are talking war crimes, environmental disasters, political corruption, ...

And yes - lots of it targets the US gov, maybe time to rethink what the US (and others) gov is and isn't ?

This isn't the work of fallible humans, this is the work of malfunctioning states.

Without Wikileaks, medias and investigation that reveals the wrongdoings ... dictatorship is at the end of the road.

This is why the reasoning that Wikileaks helps dictatorships and hurts democracies is absurd.
The 747 wing is at a 2° incidence angle relative to the body, which allows the body to be level with the direction of travel at cruising altitude/speed. An Airbus A320 has an incidence angle of about 5° at the body, twisting to -0.5° at the tip (many aircraft have such complex wings, but the aggregate is an important incidence angle). Every Cessna has a significant incidence angle.

The overwhelming majority of aircraft have an incidence angle relative to the body for the reason stated. So rather by "typically", could you name a single aircraft that doesn't have such an incidence angle? An SR-71?

As to "0 degrees angle of attack lift", such lift is close to negligible. Maybe you mean the body of the aircraft is zero degrees, but then we loop back to the core point again.

Under the Consumer Rights Act in the UK there is no end of 'warranty' period. If the product expires when it would be reasonably expected to work then you have a claim against the company. They can fix, like-for-like replace, or pay you money. They do get to reduce the compensation based on the use you've had of the product, but that seems reasonable.

Categorically dismissing an opposing view as false, and then reversing course, is not necessarily acting in bad faith, but I think any reasonable observer would question their trustworthiness.

The fact that people still believe "scientists" after all those flip-flops is astounding. It's like those "scientists" believe their reputation (individual and as a group) is invincible and they can get away with making unsubstantiated claims without being called out -- and surprisingly that's exactly what happens, mostly.

I'm not "anti-science" by any means and I don't believe in "conspiracy theories" but I can see why people are starting to view the scientific establishment with suspicion.

But that's the thing: it hasn't always. For the last 10,000 years the climate has been relatively stable, and that is the reason that human civilization was able to emerge in the first place. It's hard to build cities if the arable land moves every 10 years.

> serious network killing bugs in 93

hmm, having a hard time determining if I'm simply defending an entrenched position or if the fact that they were the first to write FPS netcode might excuse the fact that it didn't initially run super great on corporate IPX networks that wired everything together with hubs instead of switches :) I vaguely remember hearing about that bug, and I very likely played the game prior to getting my hands on a version with it patched out. Never noticed a problem in the computer lab, but then we were still on token ring - where collision lights weren't really a thing.

> The entire doom source code is likely smaller than a single grand theft auto save file.

Is that a defense of GTA, you think that "complexity" is needed? I don't think so, I think it is emblematic of something very wrong in not just software - but in the mentality one would need in order to look at the depth of our average stack traces and think "Meh, 25 calls deep isn't bad for text file pretty printer".
It’s very funny to me that people think “the past” was a UX wonderland.
Can you be more specific? I have multiple Apple TV STBs and don't see what you're describing.
It is serious. Just pointing out a way that someone could think there's room for narrowing the definition. Obviously any suicidal ideation may need help; categories that aren't totally clear can just make it harder to decide what sorts of resources and interventions to prioritize on a systems level.
Which things in particular? Rails supported both Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 simultaneously from Rails 2.3 through Rails 3.2, without it apparently being a huge struggle for the developers, dropping 1.8 only at about the same time that support for it was being dropped by the core Ruby devs altogether. And other posts from maintainers of smaller, but widely used, gems describe it as being a bit of a bother to set up, but not nearly the struggle that it took to run anything in both Python 2 and Python 3. See, e.g.,

https://thoughtbot.com/blog/the-journey-to-ruby-1-9

One key here is that the common subset of Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 was large enough that you could ship a single library for both, and a lot of large ones did, as in the above examples. That wasn't the case initially in the Python transition, and by the time Python3 had started making enough concessions to back compatibility to make this practically possible, people were a lot less willing to try.

(I personally was managing upgrades or a large Rails app at the time; Rails upgrades were, and remain, a bear, but as an accident of code style which just avoided the tricky spots anyway, the changes required to move that code between any two Ruby versions have never been more than a day or two.)
The YouTube apps on Android and iOS support streaming to the Apple TV YouTube app, which seems to be the bulk of what my guests and I want to actually stream. If you have a local media library, or tend to want to stream your computer screen to your TV for unsupported media/sources (or for plain mirroring), lack of AirPlay might be more important to you.
