Exactly. If I need to access some api, I'll just read their docs on which methods they want you to use. I never go in thinking "oh if there's a get request for this resource, there must be a post request for this resource like this".
Agree completely. If it's not the same stupid inside joke over and over again it's wholesome but contentless "Great video thanks for posting" stuff.

Ask HN: Is the YouTube GUI slower during ads?
In general i refuse to watch advertisements.
Luckily there are various options to open videos without them.

This makes the occasional miss-click on a YouTube video very annoying, which brings me to my question.

Is it just me, or does YouTube slow down its interface when an ad is playing?

On my android phone just now, the picture wouldn't move to landscape, an overlay music player wouldn't capture the audio player when i pressed start, and the pause button on the Ad had a 3 second delay before taking effect.

I've suspected similar dark patterns on my desktop, but it might be my imagination and the budget phone I'm using.

Anyone have a similar experience?
We don't need anymore farm land now. We already grown enough food for everyone. We just stock pile it in weird places. Or we destroy habit because it's cheaper than farming properly. So just stop doing that.

Not sure whether you're being sarcastic, but in case you are:

The internet, including this forum, is chock-full of people making useless comments like "well I like it" or "it works for me", just asserting their views or experiences while advancing no argument and offering no discussion.

The post you just replied to is not doing that.

The poster you replied to is taking the time to describe and explain his experiences and their implications. He's contributed a lot more to the conversation than you have, and doesn't deserve sarcasm.
I worked for a computer security company once, it was my first real programming job and I had no experience with the kind of crazy stuff that goes on with hiring, I was really naive and had no clue that certain kinds of people existed in the workforce.

So one day my boss (CTO) calls me up and says “Hey, we are hiring another Windows guy, can you do a quick interview and check him out?” (I was the only Windows dev at the time) So they send me the guy’s resume and he’s a PhD in Electrical Engineering. I feel really nervous about having to interview the guy because he had a PhD, but I figured other people had already checked him out so I meet with him and just have kind of a softball interview, not going into a technical deep dive or anything like that. He seems alright and has a ton of experience, so I figured what the hell.

Well about a month later my boss calls me again and he’s like “Hey, we’ve been having some concerns about John Doe, can you check in on him and see how he’s doing?”

So I go over to John Doe’s office and sit down with him and talk about what he’s been doing. He shows me that he’s having trouble with some things that are so basic that it’s almost like he’s never even seen a Windows machine, much less done any programming on one; and I’m not exaggerating, it was really that bad!

Long story short, they let him go. A few days after, I’m in the break room and one of the Unix guys walks in. He asks me how things are going and I’m like “Well, not so good, we’re back to just one Windows developer because they had to let the new guy go.” He says “Who was that?” So I tell him “this guy John Doe…” and before I can go any further he exclaims “Good God! Not THE John Doe?!?” Apparently this guy was a legend in the IT community in the city - he would fake resumes and get hired for as long as he could run the scam.
Reimagining the Office of the Future
Did you watch the video? It was basically complete before Microsoft bought it. They then ported it to Xbox.

It may have been an RTS initially, but when Microsoft bought Bungie, it was already "Combat Evolved" and near release.
Speaking of which, anyone know what happened at The Verge? It may not ever have been a bastion of great journalism, but these days 30-50% of the content is (occasionally well-targeted) product advertising or "you can now buy the Xbox here for the best price ever" or "Walmart has this promo right now". It's such a noticeable and abrupt change to the content mix.
What I hate about "car discourse" like this is the apparent blindness to public transportation. Trains, bikes, buses, and street cars solve almost every problem that the author complains about.

The only outstanding problem, however, is that American infrastructure has been deliberately designed solely around the car. Those who suggest alternative modes of public transportation are immediately written off as "impractical". Discourse ought to be centered around democratizing and diversifying the ways people can get around, not on how one ought to "make dumb cars".
I remember headlines saying that, but the most I'm finding is that the paper that claimed such links was quickly retracted from bioRxiv[0]. I'm a bit lost as to how misinformation played in placing a Nobel Prize winner in the mix, possibly they mentioned there was research suggesting that link.

This is great advice. This is what I did when I was looking for a heavy bag and other equipment. I looked at what the dojo had and bought those.
But how the industry pulls that off? They do open calls for equipment and buy in bulk?
It really isn't a myth though [1].

First of all; the original acquisition is not what I was referring to, but rather: Microsoft's "maintenance" of the Halo IP after Bungie itself left Microsoft's domain, and the formation of a near-entirely new studio (343) to develop it. Ok, they didn't buy the IP at that juncture; they bought a studio to develop an IP they already owned. Use some creativity and you can see the parallels are similar enough.

Second: Do you recall the keynote where Bungie unveiled Halo for the first time... at MacWorld 1999? For reference, Microsoft acquired Bungie in 2000. I've literally never heard the assertion that Halo was intended to be an RTS; my understanding is that it was originally going to be a third person FPS, as the 1999 MacWorld trailer suggests, but was changed to a first person FPS when Microsoft purchased them.

Open two more accounts at your bank. Code the first accounts as "deposit only", automatically reject any withdrawal requests against that account. Code this account for sweep to the second account every night. Activate positive pay[0] on the second account. Do not ever give anyone access to the second account. Code the 3rd account for positive pay. That's the only account you are going to withdraw the money from.

Stop using debit cards. Only use credit cards. Pay them via positive pay from the 3rd account.

Stop using pull. Only use push. Only target the 3rd account with positive pay as the source of funds.

You should look at family office setups anyway. It used to be something that was done at 100M level but these days the services became cheap enough that it makes sense at 10M level.

Much the same as others' experience here, I have a legacy account that has been used for nothing other than email on a custom domain, and in recent years with only one user account.

GSuite hosts my primary email address for many years and I feel like I'm being extorted to keep it. What next? Will they some day be telling regular GMail users that their accounts will be deleted unless they pay for 'GMail+'?

I feel like Eleanor in "The Good Place". I can completely appreciate that Google doesn't have to provide indefinitely free email for my custom domain, but I also feel like the other options are completely unfair. Google only seem interested in offering business plans. I'm an individual, not a business. I'm not a non-profit organisation, but I'm an individual who is not using my account for profit. There needs to be a 'Medium Place' - or in this case some way of keeping hosted email with a custom domain.

I'm not against paying something, but the long term price they're seeking to extort from me is about four times as much as would be fair and reasonable for email hosting. I'd be happy with all of the non-mail services stripped out - call it a 'Legacy Mail Plan' or something. Moreover, I'd even be happy to pay for it, if it were say $15/$20 a year. I don't need a million extra services and features for my non-existent business.
I think it depends on what you're watching. Political stuff can tend to have comments that get pretty snarky whereas lighter entertainment oriented content would obviously tend to get more "thumbs up" and humorous comments.

From there it's probably fair to say that way more younger people watch lighter stuff than oldsters there, and there are probably a lot more younger folks using YouTube than oldsters.
Never leave out Makita if mentioning electric tools :)
I had worked on such a tool by extending pyqtgraph's flowcharts. Mainly executing the nodes when their input changes and showing a glowing box around the one running at the moment. Flowcharts supports multiple terminals already and I had added some custom nodes. Node execution must be delegated to a background thread so the gui is not blocked while the node executes. Doubleclicking a node shows a window for setting up the node. A custom class of nodes shows upon doubleclicking a simple python editor, upon execution the terminals get automatically the values of the variables carrying the same name as the terminals. It has been a lot of fun. I had used petl and pyspark for lazy loading so one could build large etl workflows.
> or maybe they're just trying to travel the world and do a "four hour workweek" thing where they answer e-mails once a day and phone in a couple hours of work at key times during the week.

I’ve seen it work exactly once.

The guy was absolutely brilliant, however. And a great communicator. But everything had to be done asynchronously for the most part, except a few slots where he was guaranteed to have good network and be able to hop on a conference call. He was also a performance advocate, since everything had to work great on his laptop with poor network and contributed several patches to make the dev experience better. He was a stellar communicator with emails and knew the codebase really well and since he responded in batch he gave a lot of context in his responses (because he wouldn’t often know what the response would be for another day or two).
Oh, internal combustion vehicles also get their mileage very reduced at 160km/h. A 50% drop is completely normal. It's even on the small side.
If you just replace the Kai (X) with 5 in the URL of any paper, you will have an HTML5 rendering of the full paper instead of having to download the PDF.
Well the other example that came to mind is a criminal one so I opted to skip it. One of the most successful criminal organizations was willing to work with everyone instead of sticking to the historical "The Irish criminals stick together and don't work with anyone else, the Jewish criminals stick together and don't work with anyone else, the Italian criminals stick together...etc"

If you optimize for hiring the best rather than the best of X demographic you should see a higher bar being met. And this is where excluding other demographics potentially harm's outcomes but it's also the same reason just setting a quota probably doesn't improve performance.
It’s super easy to teach too!

We also have voice recorder buttons they can use to ask for certain things like brushes, treats, play time etc. but those get much more annoying :)
I used to be Director of Research at "one company that makes some of the leading legal information access products".

You won't likely divorce lawyers from their beloved Word anytime soon. But your approach of
plain text API is not what I would call a "solution" but a mere building block that may be used in a future solution. Law firms and sole practitioners will prefer something already finished, an end product. So I would call what you called "MVP" an "advanced feature", whereas
your basic solution is still not there until it has a GUI (which may have to look like Word?).

I personally love plain text, but legal documents have structure that ought to be dealt with in a solution for the future. The question is how to do that, and layout/formatting - while good for rendering - is not good for representing that structure.

It's good that you are working on innovating in this space; I would encourage you to talk to customers and to learn about the products in this space [5,6]. Some must-have features like templating have already been mentioned here.

Well, I remember going through Youtube comments across the years. Now they're slightly bad but at the start they had no moderation.

I've been on various internet forums across the years and also on IRC.

I've haven't been on 4chan or whatever that thing is called, I think it's meant to be a completely unmoderated forum?

In any case, forums ranged from horrible to amazing. IRC, same.

The original, totally unmoderated version of Youtube comments was the worst dumpster fire I've ever seen. Stupidity, hate, racism, you name it, it was there. It probably had one of the worst communities in the history of communities.

Then about 5 (10?) years ago they added some kind of ranking system that improved things. It went from being maybe the worst mainstream community on the planet to somewhere in the bottom 100, I'd say. Quite an improvement :-))

So if they improved it again, maybe they'll reach Reddit main subreddits levels soon :-p

Nah, here's a preview of Halo for Mac, in 1999. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebI5lkLRTdg Before Microsoft bought Bungie. It looks almost identical to the Xbox version from 2001.

It definitely started as an RTS, but it had morphed into Combat Evolved before Microsoft bought bungie.
The point is that all those function calls aren't necessary, nor could the majority of them ever fail. Assigning to a field in a structure doesn't fail nor result in a function call.
It should be illegal to make cars with high latency UIs. It routinely takes 1+ seconds for touchscreen button presses to be registered on my 2015 and 2018 Toyotas. This leads to erroneous actions being performed, which is not safe. If I were a software engineer on these teams I would quit if these systems were released on my watch.
Yeah but you know, as much as you know anything else really, that your code won't break your toaster.

I'm not sure that changes his payday at all and don't see that kind of change on his side. He had many controversial guests like Alex Jones prior to Spotify. He's been doing this since 2009 and has over 1,700 episodes.

The controversy is from the corporate media and other gatekeepers now attacking him. He's the tip of the spear that is threatening their business model and control over the narrative. It's not so much about Joe as it's about elite gatekeepers vs independent media. The same fight is being waged against Substack. They just lack this kind of central figure to point at and demonize.
You say this as if the comment section used to be some oasis of invigorating debate among reasonable people.

I find the wholesome and funny comments to be relatively uninteresting and dull 90% of the time, but it’s leaps and bounds better than the unmitigated angry mud slinging that used to be there.
once a month seems more useful, but i doubt i'd hold in something for a month. i think it's better to create a culture where managers are approachable human beings then to have dedicated meetings that are so far away, and if they are weekly then you have got a problem having nothing to say on both sides.
I think F# meets all of the checklist items for me. I'm still not going to consider it boring as it's too esoteric.
Heh.

Also those "Who's listening to <random song> in 2028?" or "Timeless classic" on every old song (even kind of garbage ones, after all, emotional attachment doesn't really discriminate much).

I’d argue that YouTube simply implemented a Reddit like sorting mechanism.The top comments on a YouTube video are very similar to Reddit.

When you optimize for engagement (e.g. Facebook’s sorting), you get toxicity. When you optimize for approval, you get funny and wholesome stuff.
Late ‘90s. Rapid growth, many interviews. Got used to taking CVs with a grain of salt. Had the best and worst interview experiences ever.

The best: really strong CV, older candidate, really poor English. Frustrating process, more for him than us, he is struggling so hard. Finally he stands up, grabs my pen and my colleague’s pad, and sketches DB schema. Uses the pen to point back and forth between the CV and the sketch. I’m more of a networking guy, I was lost pretty quick, but my colleague, one of my best hires, started leaning in, eyes widening, slow “wow” escaping his lips.

That guy ended up being another of my best hires. Communication was always a chore, results always through the roof. With the colleague from the interview and one other, he became one of my three developer archetypes in a much longer story.

Worst experience: different colleague (my test lead) and I interviewing another strong CV. We try and lead and shepherd, do everything we can to link the CV to what this person can do. Communication isn’t the issue, the CV is obviously doctored/bumpfed.

We’re running out of steam, trying to get the session to a minimum acceptable length, when I notice blood on my hands. I wonder how I cut myself and I am subtlety looking for the wound.

When I notice the open sore on their hand, the hand they shook. The hand attached to a body with some obvious hygiene issues (trust me).

I settle my hands, wind things up, have my colleague see them out, hop into the nearest coffee station, throw away my pen and notebook and basically scald my hands and mouth (I used to nibble my pen compulsively).
This is the clearest evidence we have of a government trying to sabotage the monetary system of a country to steal the proceeds of its citizens' labor via inflation.

You're going to have a bad experience if you're always setting it to max cold or max heat instead of just picking a comfortable temperature in the middle and letting the car get to that temp.

That's the issue. Suppose the car is at an ambient temperature of 50 degrees. I get in and start it up. I want air that's just slightly warmer than ambient but I can't get it. If I set it to 65, I get hit with air that's probably 90 degrees until the whole car hits 65, meanwhile I'm sweating like it's high summer. If I set it to Low, the only setting below 65, it turns me into a frozen dinner. Generally I'm forced to keep the AC off and just be slightly cold because I have no direct control of the air that's hitting me. There's no way to tell the car to blow slightly warm air if the ambient temperature is below 65 degrees.
Yeah I tend to refer to them as HTTP APIs.
"Let's spend 15 minutes of a sprint planning meeting with 8 people talking about who will handle the ticket to make an already-understood 2 line change" is a regular favorite, but small overall.

Too little, too late.

Looking at Parliament Hill where this "trucker" protest is happening, where some literally cite the crackpot on Rogan's podcast as gospel that the mRNA vaccines are bad.

That and Rogan basically put more fuel to the fire by saying 50,000 trucks are heading here, when it's mostly yahoos in coal-rolling pickups or RVs.

These people are pissing on the National War Memorial; berate and assault hotel staff for enforcing a Provincial mask mandate; barged into a homeless shelter to demand food, and assaulted the homeless and security guard; and a literal Nazi flag was flown.

Rogan knows he's courting controversy without regard of what it may do. Spotify is choosing money and views above all else.

I've deleted Spotify and closed my account. I know others who have cancelled their subscription. Their words are not going to reign in what was unleashed.

People had plenty of problems with Joe's guests before the Spotify contract - the blowback was immediate and Spotify removed dozens of episodes from his back-catalog:

https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2021/04/06/joe-rogan-spotif...

I think its more controversial now only because people have leverage over Spotify - when he self hosted his show there really wasn't a way to protest. You could boycott the advertisers I guess but I don't think MeUndies and Butcher Box would have cared.
