Yeah, it's a super relevant skill and something that doesn't go away (for me) in the interviewing environment (the way technical skills sometimes can).
I think that the idea that "people would largely stop making content for the web if that weren't ads" is a myth. Sure, the money seeking people wouldn't do it anymore and a lot less people would be able to make a living off of it. But think of all the web content makers that currently don't make a lot of money, which I believe is a lot of people since not everyone who has blog earns a living from it. I'm not saying we wouldn't lose anything but this idea the "90% of the web would disappear or be paywalled" is kinda insane and quite unlikely

I think I got what you narrated. The element of surprise is your response to recognizing MKBHD's content playing at an unexpected unusual venue.

Instead of that suggestive ad being inserted into the video. Why not use auto-play or recommended videos section? Suggested videos in the menu work great, better even, in your case scenario for content discovery.

I don't watch YouTube with ads and I don't subscribe to YouTube Premium but I pretty much doubt in-video content suggestions disguised as ads will do a better job of predicting what I'll watch next over menu video recommendations.

It really depends on the production - some of them, particularly animated ones, had to develop their whole pipelines from scratch as part of their early productions. You can bet that time was accounted for as part of production costs. Same for pioneer productions like The Mandalorian (iirc costing $3m per episode, a large chunk of which went into developing experimental 3d soundstages).

For the more common endeavours, then no, of course - they just use what is there, or more likely outsource it to specialised providers in the same way as they would outsource e.g. building a website.

Well said. But some people take this as "well we can't realistically do the exhaustive test, and we really want this thing, so let's assume the outcome will be positive". That's fine when it's your own choice, but it's not when you're forcing it on other people.

I just looked at it and your post doesn't seem related at all. The post is pointing out that Google says they don't sell search result positioning, which is equivocation because if you watch any normal person use Google or just look at their search results page they absofuckinglutely do. "Oh but it's not 'in the search area'" yeah OK, so they're both tricking people and are disingenuous about it, like that apparently-Google-employee (Danny Sullivan) who shames themselves by pathetically defending it in the Twitter thread. That's not better.

The 'plants, eggs, fish' diet is almost the same impact as vegan, and probably much more acceptable to people.

I"m sorry, i'm not seeing the difference

how is

if error.response.status === 429 // then do something

different than

if error.response.data.err === 'RATE_LIMITED' // then do something

Also, do you mean to tell me that you've never had to elaborate on your error messages and just sent back status codes with no body?

I'm sorry but that does not sound like a robust API to me.

90% of my error responses have specified data, and I have to check the response body extremely often regardless of the status code being sent back.

False. Detectable is an experimental limitation of a given measurement system. Even one single virion can infect a host.
> The issue is the absolute fantasy that HTTPS makes your connection secure.

Well, this is a kind of compromise. It is similar with COVID-19 vaccines: even though they don't prevent transmission, hospitalization and death, they do reduce them (at least the last two).

Even though HTTPS can not offer a very high protection level, together with accompanying technologies they do make certain attacks more problematic - especially sniffing. So for most intents and purposes, HTTPS may make a connection more secure.
I think, coming from other languages, it takes a while to really absorb how much you can rely on types to tell you what a function is doing - to the degree that for some functions you can infer the implementation from them[1].

That said, Haskell documentation tends to be really lacking on some of the basics that other ecosystems get right, like where to start, shielding beginners from functions for more niche usecases, examples of how to build or deconstruct values, or end-to-end case studies. Some of the nicest things to _use_ have an API that primarily comes from typeclasses in base, and don't provide any documentation beyond a list of typeclasses. My impression has been that most Haskellers seem to be on the same page that those things need work, though - I'm optimistic about the situation improving, but it's still hard to recommend to anyone expecting the experience of working with popular libraries from more mainstream ecosystems.

I think you're exaggerating my point of view.

Do I think it's fine to walk away during an advert break on a US TV station or to mute? Yeah that's fine.

Can you cut up your magazine and reconstruct it with the advertising pages removed? Yeah fine.

Both are different from advert blocking because of the automation and the specific targeting of the workaround. I think that's where it crosses into not as morally reasonable.

I think it's also just a huge faff to run custom software in your browser just to avoid seeing some adverts.

I’m not sure how the discussion got to this place. Please allow me a reset. My point is only that ideally people in charge of policy should be upfront that they’re making decisions based on imperfect information, and it should not require people “believing in science”. This would have the effect leaving the science, with all its messiness, to scientists, and will be better for everyone involved.

A sidenote on CDC, the null hypothesis is institutional inertia: there were no mask mandates during many recent pandemics so CDC was simply following the long standing policy. This doesn’t require lying: if you believe that a policy is useless and will actively harm supply of masks it makes sense to come out strongly against it. I’m open to evidence to the contrary though.

I would say its even smarter. I don't want to charge my phone to 100% every day, and I don't want to babysit it.

Smart charging would be: "start charging now and finish at time my alarm is set, while reaching 80% battery." Slow charging to 80% and your battery can last multiple times what it would "normally". I don't understand the craze for 40-60-100 watt phone chargers...

I can see people believing this for Agile-style standups (I can argue both sides of that one), but something like a scheduled weekly 1:1 should always be valuable sync time for an IC and manager. It also should not be a prison: if you want to skip a week, slack your manager and say "I've nothing, you have anything this week?" or something like that.

> It's probably a similar user base to the daily NYT mini crossword.

I would bet there's not a lot of overlap - Wordle is pretty much the antithesis of a crossword to me. Small number of guesses, each guess gives you more information towards the answer, and it's probably no more than 5 minutes for a game.
Yeah, that's what the guy in the linked post is talking about. Various services (Skype/Teams, Slack, Twitter, etc.) will also send a GET if the URL is shared there. I once saw an accidental hotel booking triggered by Skype because the booking was performed through a GET request with a brazillion parameters.
I built something similar for my girlfriend's birthday a few months ago. A buzzer and a lightbulb connected through a relay to an RPi, which hosts a basic HTTP server. The server is exposed to the Internet through a reverse ssh tunnel to a VPS in the cloud.

What has taken me aback is how it regularly receives malicious traffic that I suspect is from bots scanning for vulnerable servers. The hostname is not shared anywhere public. The client app that knows the URL has only been shared to her as an APK. Made me realize there's no such thing as security through obscurity.
I suppose we/(I?) should get started on an independent version. There's no way the Times doesn't some how paywall or otherwise ruin this.

This seems to be the case in many richer countries, typically the ones where birth rates are low. It's ironic that once a nation becomes wealthy enough, children are a luxury.

The part about marriage may be a product of culture. A married couple is meant to be a single unit, not two individuals on the same team, who have to compromise on what direction they're going.

It's quite different in a developing country. My kids were born in private hospitals, go to private school, and I pay health insurance for them. I spend on the high end on kids and the cost is still less than I spend on "office equipment".

I guess back on topic, my not to do list would be moving to places like the US, Japan, or Germany, where raising kids would be unaffordable.

Hmm. This one is a head-scratcher.

We know that the sound barrier changes based on the medium the sound is propagating in. in air, it is 717 mph, but in Aluminum it is 3100 mph.

So, there is a chance that if you could create a zone of a different medium for light to travel through, (as to what that could be, I am not sure, probably something like a naked singularity or some field symmetry that changes the background "electromagnetic vacuum", whatever) then you could approach the speed of light and be traveling faster than the observed speed of light in a vacuum.
These days, equavalent salaries in india are between 1/4th to 1/2 of equavalent american or uk salary for the same job. Adjusting for cost of living is a bit tricky as there are many things which are cheaper in India, but many things that a sw developer may want to buy are not so. In general electronic items are a bit more expensive in India, but things like rent, cost of food, clothing, cost of a basic car are lesser here in India. OTOH, mostly it is not apples to apples comparison. e.g. you can get cars for 5-8000 usd here in India, but those cars would most likely be illegal to sell in the US. When the manufacturers sell the same exact model here in India, the prices are a lot higher.

So if OP says that they get 1/4th of the salary that people from US get for same role, then I feel that he is most likely underpaid.
Yeah. People are supposed to lose. They get cut off if they're too succesful.

Even worse is the addictive nature of it. Making money like this is like a dose of dopamine straight in the reward center of the brain. There are people who literally lose everything gambling. Even on the stock market people will make a good call on futures, get high on it and lose everything.
I enjoy Wordle specifically because it's zero friction to play (aka there are no ads, no signup, no popups, no nags to subscribe for "$1 a week") - which of course will be the first thing NYTimes adds.

Real bummer, I enjoyed the collective experience of sharing the emoji square badges with friends in group chats. It was a fun daily challenge that anybody could hop in on at any time.

FWIW, the setup can be simpler and more portable without a specialized HTTP server and with a standardized protocol (RFC 2136): just certbot and its python3-certbot-dns-rfc2136.

Then say that... "I think I'd like to reduce the cadence of this meeting to bi-weekly, we haven't had anything substantial to discuss in the last few weeks." Your manager probably wants calendar time back at least as much as you do.
> Nonetheless, if we want to think about it for arguments sake: there are no costs associated without capitalism, only necessary work and resources.

"Necessary work and resources" is exactly what is meant by costs. Scarcity is a property of the universe we live in. Capitalism doesn't prescribe or create scarcity, it just offers a framework for dealing with it. All other systems also have costs and operational expenses—they just aren't borne primarily by those making the decisions.

I do appreciate the effort here; however, I suspect this is going to make it even harder to find affordable units due to how fast the scalpers scoop up any readily discoverable inventory.

Because your api returns it as error.response.data while Joe's api might put it in a different key while Mike might put it as a different key.

If there's a way where we could say "this specific key will be this specific value in order to mean this specific scenario", I'd support that! But. Then. Isn't that the status that's I'm talking about?

I never said the error message can't or shouldn't be introspected and totally agree we should send our clients as much info as we can to make it clear on what they can do to fix any errors!

I just really really like being able to say "this specific field tells you, across all apis, what happened with this request" and don't see the gain in pushing that data into good luck finding out what key.

I think the OP's argument is that you also have to factor in hours played, and that, per player-hour, respectively movie-watcher-hour, the game is a lot cheaper.

300M movie watchers is about half a billion hours. If those 38M games all had only one player (probably fairly close) they only have to play the game for 15 hours on average to get at half a billion player hours.

https://howlongtobeat.com/game?id=27100 claims it takes at least 49 hours to beat it, so it’s likely that the game was played for more hours than the movie was watched.
> I think that actually it had the opposite effect

That's my feeling too - it's quick and cheerful. You know you can fire it up and be done ~5 minutes later with a nice little thing to post onto $SOCIALOFCHOICE and no need to think about it again for 24 hours.
> Another, more serious pitfall is the failure to consolidate. Although immature code may work fine and be completely acceptable to the customer, excess quantities will make a program unmasterable, leading to extreme specialization of programmers and finally an inflexible product. Shipping first time code is like going into debt. A little debt speeds development so long as it is paid back promptly with a rewrite. Objects make the cost of this transaction tolerable. The danger occurs when the debt is not repaid. Every minute spent on not-quite-right code counts as interest on that debt. Entire engineering organizations can be brought to a stand-still under the debt load of an unconsolidated implementation, object- oriented or otherwise.

http://c2.com/doc/oopsla92.html

Technical debt is only "positive" in the sense that it may permit shipping something now or earlier, but it accumulates and becomes something that can slow the project team down to a crawl, or worse totally stall forward progress. In the end, unless your project can be thrown away, it's a negative.
