> they're likely running out of show ideas to bring in a new audience

I keep hearing that they keep cancelling shows, which makes people more reluctant to engage with new shows, which makes them more likely to get cancelled, which makes...cue self fulfilling doom spiral.

It'll be interesting to see if the price increase does increase profits or if it just chases off everyone that thought Netflix was barely worth it as is, and what that means for the streaming landscape overall.
I don't know what I'm missing, but looking at the 53 English words I'm not seeing anything that can't be translated.

A lot of people like the larger, more thorough frameworks because:

1. they think it makes newer devs can feel safer

2. dev teams can simply agree on an pre-made modus-operandi for all css without having to have discussions/evolutions on it.

But for 1, it also gives newer devs a steeper learning curve, and it gives older devs Yet Another Framework to learn and then possibly discard in a few years. It's also often used like a crutch, where yes the newer dev may feel safer, but they're also not exposed to as many discussions or reasoning around well-organized styling, cleaner semantics, etc.

And for 2, it can also add overhead to dependency audits and often for the large frameworks with pre-made components you can end up spending significant resources fighting/working around the framework components when the inevitable unforeseen use-cases come up
The documents in the nasa links below don't seem to agree witht this. Actually they are not fluid bearings, they're ball bearings and mechanical surface wear was a big problem for the oxidizer pump bearings in particular because of the lack of good oxidizer compatible lubricants.
We arguably should be taking influenza more seriously but influenza is not sending people to the hospitals at levels sufficient to cause overload, or increasing the death rates substantially. We also still have some gaps — for example, the COVID vaccines are more effective than the influenza vaccines (it is a famously mutagenic virus) but the flu vaccines are available to even very young children whereas children under 5 cannot be vaccinated.

Don't forget, this is not a permanent forever program but a reaction to a raging pandemic. If we had high enough vaccination rates to keep COVID patients from overwhelming the medical system, that would drive the stress down to something like influenza levels and we could relax measures accordingly.

I was a fulltime employee for about a decade. Quit to attempt to launch some products with a friend. Wasn’t very successful and started to get stressed out about savings going down so managed to find a 6hr/day contracting job, with the rest of my time still working on my own products

Have been doing that for close to a year now, and am trying to raise rates so I can move to a 3-full-day workweek instead, which I feel I can utilize better

Motivation hasn’t been great lately, feel like I’m at a crossroads as to what to do with my career and feel like need to decide soon.

If you reply with your email would be happy to chat more about it!
What is "enough"? Must be a lot to outweigh the risk of pissing off Zendesk and losing their ad spend...
Looks like it's buried several layers deep, and very poorly worded. You need to go from the Terms of Service [0], to the Community Guidelines [1], to the subsection on "Harmful or dangerous content" [2]. Once there, the wording of the guideline is as follows.

> Hacking: Demonstrating how to use computers or information technology with the intent to steal credentials, compromise personal data or cause serious harm to others such as (but not limited to) hacking into social media accounts.

The placement of "with the intent to" is really weird to me. I could see it applying either to the demonstration being performed with intent, or the demonstrated usage having intent. The latter doesn't really make sense, because any basic computer usage could also be done with the intent to perform malicious actions. (e.g. "How to back-up your stored passwords", used maliciously to back-up somebody else's stored passwords.) The former would make sense, but not be applicable in this case. It would apply to cases where the video itself was an attempt to steal credentials, such as guiding people to a known compromised browser extension.

In order for this to apply, the "with the intent to" clause would need to be missing entirely. In that case, a demonstration alone would be enough to fall under that clause. So either Google poorly wrote their guidelines, or are poorly applying it.

But that's just from the strict letter of the ToS, which is as meaningless as a fart in a breeze when Google can unilaterally amend them. The real story is that Google is removing content in order to protect itself and others from embarrassment, and their actions to discredit and downplay responsible disclosure are what matter here, not their supposed justification of those actions.

In the community guidelines, they note:

> We may terminate your channel or account for repeated violations of the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. We may also terminate your channel or account after a single case of severe abuse, or when the channel is dedicated to a policy violation.

And for their purposes your posts include linked content. You have a channel that only posts videos that the algorithm likely flags as hacking instructions, and you've linked to a site that very likely has been flagged by the algorithm multiple times. The recent change in the YT terms of service likely coincides with a minor patch to YT's moderation algorithm which pushed your videos over the detection threshold.
Is it crime or is protest? We all know Amazon will let its workers die in hurricanes, harass its workers until they commit suicide, not pay their workers a living wage, and all this while the big boss goes flying around in spaceships for fun. I'm sure a lot of the "criminals" rationalize their behavior by knowing that whatever they do it can't ever be as bad as what Amazon does, they're even doing justice by fighting back when no-one else does. I'm sure this is more about being Robin Hood than people being evil to their core.
A record label
Exactly, I have noticed this same pattern and came to the same conclusions, but not only are you forgetting the 'bad habits' you're also integrating micro habits/skills into more general ones with this same process. In short: adding noise to noise/signal ratio can enhance the type and strength of signal.
I am an avid user of dmenu, it is absolutely fantastic, there's nothing as easy as pressing a key (or two) and then typing what I'm trying to launch, with autocompletion as well. I know a lot of DEs are incorporating a launch box in the menu directly, and I like the double utility but usually these menus are just too busy. A simple menu like the good ol gnome 2 days with a text box would be perfect, but alas this does not really exist, its either all or nothing.

DWM though, having to compile it every time you want to change the configuration is too much.
That's cool! Nice pictures and a couple good videos of the Zeppelin in flight. I was a bit disappointed not to see any ads for beer on the side of the Zeppelins. Seemed like a marketing miss.
I’m actually fine with the ads. It’s all the other “recommended” content they pump into my feed to increase engagement. They recently ruined Instagram the same way - there is no longer any way just to see posts by your followers + ads. Ever nth post is now from some account I’ve never seen. It’s really jarring as a long term IG user.

> the web platform is incredibly and intrinsically complex

Absolutely true. I don't like that the web is so complex there are only a few competing implementations. Still, it's the best we got in terms of platform support.

> doesn't mean that it's possible to become enough faster

Unless you bloat your app with tons of frameworks, I don't think the issue is speed, but size, which is true for web in general. Almost all of that size can be deduplicated (and some big parts even discarded).
I do, however, remember the pain moving from libc5 to glibc2. *shudders*
"company culture" is a polite way to say assholism. I personally don't really mind working at a place for long hours, moderate pay.

I think there's still a bit of robber baron culture in SE Asian companies. People who get away with firing pregnant women instead of giving maternity leave, docking pay for some arbitrary reason like not punching in. Because there's no early stage investors here, a lot of tech companies are founded by industrial robber barons, but the same techniques that worked for factories don't work when it's an employee's market.

At a lot of companies I've worked at, I'm also surprised how much the company owners don't care about it. About 80% of employees treat work as "just something to pay the bills", but the ratio is the same for employers.
I think the question mark can be removed from the title.
In the 90s and early 00s there were a lot of lower class/uneducated Brazilian immigrants moving here and a small but significant part of them would cause all sorts of trouble, from bothering neighbors with loud parties in apartment buildings all the way to being involved in prostitution and violent crimes. This caused a significant amount of prejudice but that has mostly subsided since then as the next waves of Brazilian immigrants have been progressively higher class and more educated, and thus better integrated in our society.

Nowadays there is still some prejudice but the vast majority of people does not have any issues with Brazilians and, unless you are unlucky enough to run into some asshole, you'll probably not notice it at all. Kids care even less about these things so your kids are very unlikely to be bullied in school or anything like that.

In fact, my partner is originally from Brazil and her family moved here when she was 13. She always had friends, never really felt discriminated against, and is now sitting next to me working on her PhD thesis. The rest of her family loves it here too.

So I would say if you want to move here, go for it! Boa sorte :)

I do on _very_ rare occasions.

Why? I'm fortunate enough to have gigabit symmetrical fiber, so streaming isn't an issue. That said, when viewing content on higher quality TVs and sound systems, there's a very perceptible improvement in both video and audio quality compared to streaming. For example, on my 65" LG C9 OLED with a Klipsch Atmos system, the difference is immediately noticeable.

Even with dedicated streaming hardware like new generation Apple TVs, which offer 4K streaming with Dolby Vision/Atmos, it still doesn't quite compare to physical media. Ditto for the native LG apps with identical options.

Of course, there are downsides. Good luck finding UHD content on physical media. Redbox doesn't offer 4K discs in my area, and local stores rarely have physical media in stock. Even with physical media, there's other annoyances--e.g. the Xbox One X produces a loud hum as the disc spins, not to mention the delay when seeking/skipping around.

That said, for rarified material such as Blue Planet (or anything by Attenborough)--or movies known for their sound quality like Mad Max--physical media can be sublime.
Funny because for this developer [1] [2] it appears that small user base more than pulls its weight for submitting high quality bug reports. (That alone seems like great value that should encourage supporting alternative platforms like Linux that even a MBA-holder can understand).

I personally think they used this as one of the indicators of "sub-prime" because there were a TON of flippers in ~2004/05 (knew one guy who owned 40 houses with a group of 4 friends)

All APR to keep all the payments lower... they lost them all in 08/09.
Also, many expressions have direct translations (sometimes even literal) in other languages from the same family/geographic area. For example, "joie de vivre" has a direct Dutch translation "levenslust". The German words "scheinheilig" and "totschweigen" have direct Dutch equivalents "schijnheilig" and "doodzwijgen", and the Swedish words "förrgår" and "övermorgon" have direct Dutch equivalents "eergisteren" and "overmorgen".

Then there's plenty examples where a direct English equivalent exists even if it's not a literal translation of the original: nachäffen (de) = na-apen (nl) = mimicking (en), but English lacks the animal connotation (Affe == aap == ape); schwarzfahren (de) = zwartrijden (nl) = fare dodging (en), but English loses the colour in the expression (Schwarz == zwart == black).

Funny thing also that it lists the Spanish "sobremesa" as after-dinner conversation, then lists the Dutch "natafelen" as lingering after having finished dinner, continuing conversation. The two are equivalent expressions, except that one is a noun and one is a verb. Same for "fremdschämen" (de) and "vergüenza ajena" (es), which is known in Dutch as "plaatsvervangende schaamte".
Less about Schroedinger or Stallman, more of a meta commentary on the way people talk about these things combined with the way others threaten to make it a crusade against commenters.

I find these sorts of engagements interesting at the meta level.
Wouldn't quick sanity checks like these make more sense in a git push hook?

No reason to wait for the CI. There's also the risk of broken intermediary commits unless the CI check each and every commit in isolation.
I've seen it once or twice in a book (and I needed to look up its meaning/translation). And it's possible Stephen Fry used it once (possibly on QI).

It's one of those weird specific words that you use to show that you're smarter than you are (this doesn't apply to Stephen Fry of course :D )

I'm fortunate to be able to work remotely even though my company is located in the city I live in. It's a low COL region, so money goes pretty far, and I'm really not too far below what I think I'd make in other regions. Now if someone offers me 2x/3x and remote work? I'd be a fool not to consider it.
Install from NPM? Seems strange to have a simple css file as a dependency. Is there a reason for this? Genuine question.
Missing from those analysis is the fact that not everyone has it in them to learn to code like that. I've genuinely tried learning to dance before with practice and I just sucked at it so I put it down and picked up another hobby. Yet in today's world we have this obsession with getting everyone to learn how to program in python. Instead we could be teaching the actual skills like critical thinking and problem solving in a ton of other ways that might stick better with students.
You just invented Web 2.0!

Not being a jerk but this concept was one of the major ideas behind Web 2.0 but fizzled out. Services would provide data endpoints that your user agent (browser or whatever) would tie together. Even your identity was just a bunch of meta tags in the headers of your web page pointing to things like FOAF or OPML files that linked to people you knew or sites you liked.

Your User Generated Content would just be your blog posts that could be easily followed by someone with an RSS reader. Things like photos or videos would work the same way as someone would just follow your Flickr feed (which you could point to with a metatag on your homepage.

The key takeaway was that everyone would host their own data, deciding what to publish or make public, and then smarter clients (other sites or apps) would collect this information and do whatever graph analysis you wanted.

But normal people do t want to run their own servers and tying disparate services together is non-trivial. So we got UGC but it was/is hosted on social media sites. They made it easier to put together an online presence than self-hosting everything.
I wish more designers would look at these minimalist frameworks and add helpful feedback like this. I feel like the aesthetics of a lot of them could be improved with more attention from designers.
You can work with SOAP from pretty much any language, but Java does have particularly good library/ecosystem support for that sort of thing. If you already know some Java anyway, that's probably as good a choice as any.
Wrong.

You are making the "all or nothing" fallacy.

You absolutely can make the ethical choice when you have the choice. In some cases, you are simply forced to make the lesser evil choice.

Transparency is the first step. Yes, in some cases it is unavoidable, but to translate that into overall inaction, IMHO, is lazy.

HBO has really impressed me. Hulu is my current fav.
You're assuming my pay is markedly lower (for my role) than what I'd make on one of the coasts. It might be 10-15% lower, but not enough to compensate for shifting teams, getting accustomed to a new company/boss etc. Now if someone offers me 2x/3x?

I don't know if someone is going to read this (I doubt it, this post already has 519 comments), but I am in a weird situation. I am Lead Engineer in a startup that works well in technical aspects. I attend the daily, check what my team is doing, and that's most of my days. If my PM asks for some bug fixing, I usually can do it quickly (after running some tests), or someone from my team can do it. I am trying to improve the general quality of the architecture (update stuff, improve security, etc), but most of the time I am quite bored. Nothing much to do, not challenging, etc.

The paid is slightly below market for a remote position (EU startup hiring in 3rd World Country, although I have a Master Degree in Computer Science), and I am sure I could get a better paid job. But I am not sure if I want to be 8 hours in front of the computer working. Right now, the boredom (which is awful most the time) allows me to do my own things / hobbies / etc, those days that I find something new, exciting, etc. If next Monday I want to read a book about Play Statino architecture, I know I will be able (except something bad happens in Production). But I don't find anything interesting, I will probably spend the day looking at Hacker News, Reddit, newspapers, etc.

I don't know what to do. I am not sure if I want to look for a new job that will make me hate Mondays (right now, most of the days are the same to me - weekends are different because my girlfriend / friends are available for plans), but at the same time, I don't want to waste my best years without taking advantage of my skills...

I still have a tablet PC from 2005 in rotation, and the lack of 32-bit apps is definitely a killer, but not terrible.

My original reason for reviving it was for use as a whiteboard in Zoom calls, but there's no 32-bit Zoom app - and I'm sure screen sharing while decoding 15 people's video would've been out of the question anyway. So I run a VNC server on it, and share out a VNC session from my work laptop instead.

I've also hit the issue where I've had to compile software for x86 using modern build toolchains. It takes forever, and more often than not, I run out of RAM (only 1GB). To get myself out of a pinch, I've mounted a 16GB USB 2.0 flash drive as swap space. Sure, it makes compiling even the most basic software a multi-hour process, but where this machine isn't my daily driver, it's still easier (to me, at least) than cross-compiling.

> So we've paid the cost of the gas line upgrade but the cost of the electric upgrade to mitigate the fire risk is still incoming.

I don't believe we've paid anywhere near the full cost of upgrading/maintaining the gas infrastructure yet. It continues to age and will require ongoing and increasing maintenance - and expensive maintenance since lines are buried.

Furthermore as more customers switch away from natural gas, the remaining customers rates will rise to pay for the infrastructure maintenance as this paper from the Haas School of Business describes [1]:

"As Figure 4 shows, this percentage rise in bills is small when only a few customers exit
the natural gas sector, but bills rise substantially if many customers exit. To understand why
this relationship is non-linear, imagine that all customers but one exit, and that remaining
customer must cover all of the utility’s legacy costs."

You're right that we will likely pay higher costs for electric infrastructure upgrades also - or alternatively experience more fire-avoidance PSPS events, or a bit of both.

But electricity as a medium for delivering energy offers more technological opportunities for addressing these issues and the very pressing issue of decarbonization than natural gas does going forward. Batteries and municipal microgrids are some of technologies that can help with this going forward.
