I think the issue of low-quality filler being the issue is debatable. House of Cards or Orange is the New Black hasn't stopped the platform from sinking to where it is now. But as long as people are watching something, they're subscribed to the platform. The real problem is a lack of shows with nine seasons and plenty of shows that got canceled two seasons in. Viewers will take a chance on a new show, binge watch the two seasons, then end up blankly staring at the Now Playing screen and this hollow feeling of Netflixlessness - that listless feeling you get when your life was previously consumed by a show that you've now caught up to, so you have nothing to watch.

The worst thing the service can do is force viewers back to that New Playing screen, and just hope they find something before giving up, disgusted at your library's lack of content. Netflix never did conquer the Now Playing page. If I don't have a show that someone else has promoted to me, I'm not opening the Netflix app, that page is where dreams of just watching some TV go to die. Not for lack of trying, mind you, they've run a large number of experiments on that page, it's just a difficult problem when you don't have the content your users really want. It's thoroughly unsatisfying a UX, especially if you can't find something before your attention span gets bored of trying to find something to watch, and you switch away entirely. To Fortnight or TikTok, as the article suggests.

Spin-off shows don't generally do well on network TV, but things are different for streaming, and mediocre content set in the same universe as existing shows, for easy transference of viewing keeps users on your platform. Even if viewers are rewatching The Office for the Nth time. Because that show has nine seasons, Netflix might as well just be The Office streaming program and it would keep subscribers just fine. You're right that they're "settling" hours, but not everyone is a TV show snob. Netflix was never going to afford to be at ABC/Paramount/Disney level but it's trying to play there and make shows that rivaled their quality - and cost - that killed them.
EU law arguably has a greater weight than individual constitutions now. There are some countries like Poland which claim to not accept that, but the principle of EU law supremacy has become generally accepted (even without a referendum in that sense...)

> The interesting idea behind crypto once was to have a totally different system.

the problem with this idea is that this idea of a "different" system is just merely going to evolve back into what we have today. The fundamental needs of a financial system doesn't change much, and what we have today is fit for purpose (mostly - there's efficiency to be had and red tape to cut).
Gas has more use cases than just electricity.

These can't easily be replaced by nuclear power.
I was able to send funds from US directly to a bank account of my friend in Ukraine near instantly for low single digit percent and I could do the same using western union(to my surprise).
All without a fear that my currency will drop 10-20% in a day.

Now about decentralization, I believe that most people hold their transactional crypto funds in a handful of exchanges and thus the dream of decentralized crypto transactions is rarely realized.

But most importantly why does the end user care if the transaction was decentralized or went through a series of transactions through one or more centralized intermediaries.

All people care is have funds that left place A showed up in place B
Which of course encourages subsequent designs to be substantially changed.

That’s surprising, I thought apple provided iOS updates and security updates much longer than Android phones — i thought there was some issues where Googles update had to be pushed by the manufacturer and they tend to drop support much sooner. Did I misunderstand that support timeframe?
That would be a strange corruption that causes cheap gas
> The only thing dumber than this idea is adding commercials, which they're planning...

I will immediately cancel any service that has advertisements. One of them (I think Amazon) did not immediately show the video I asked for, but a preview of another video they think I might be interested in. Even that got my delete finger twitching.
I'm aware of the Latest branch, but its shorter release cycle would be even less-suited for production usage (for people who are into Very Serious Business™).

I was talking about Quarterly since it seems to the most stable way to get packages not in the base system.
No they don’t, they use web forms, which are a local UI state that gets bundled up and sent when the user presses a submit button. They do not refresh on every single UI change
Ok, I understand that a stablecoin it is easier to handle than the dollar.

But who is doing it? What is the use case?
You need to be at least a little bit in the mood to give this effect a chance I guess. If you play the songs on your phone in between finishing breakfast and taking a dump, not much will happen. I know some of the songs on that list gave me that feeling in the past, now I only need to find some time to give the others a try.
Yeah tell me about it. I had a good one in the cafe in Point Reyes where it was on the tap but the last few were bottled and it was not that good.

I've watched random videos from it until I decided to watch them all chronologically. I must say, they do build on previous episodes, even more heavily as time goes on
LibreCAD is a fork [0] of QCAD Community Edition. It looks very similar, but it is actually a separate piece of software.

The biggest difference I see between these two is UI and the pace of development. LibreCAD is still being worked on, but the latest stable release was in 2016. Last patch for QCAD has been released four days ago.

Personally, I prefer QCAD to LibreCAD. Both are quirky to use, but QCAD is at least a little bit less quirky. If you are coming from AutoCAD, then both will be equally confusing.

[0] Maybe not literally, README file available in LibreCAD repo declares that "LibreCAD is a 2D CAD drawing tool based on the community edition of QCAD." On the other hand, Libre Arts article [1] calls it fork.

One of my favourites is Symptom of the universe by Black Sabbath.

It's a classic Sabbath style tune with a hard hitting riff, solid drums, vocals and all that. The song seems to be winding down after the 4 minute mark with a standard fade out.

But then something magical starts at 4:23.

Gives me the chills every single time.

This seems awfully more complex than maintaining state UI side.
I'm sort of surprised there is less effort in poaching series with an existing fan base. This would seemingly be an antidote to the complaint of too-"algorithm says it will work" programming, because it bypasses that entire flow with an established "we see the audience, they exist in fandom forums and such."

I've never used Hulu, but there's a good chance I'll sub in the next few months for the new season of The Orville. I'd expect anime series would be a great similar target- there are plenty of manga/novel adaptations that did one 13-episode series that covered the first fewbooks, and now the source material is finished with 25 more volumes they can adapt.
The stock market is very efficient - aka, the price reflects most, if not all available information at the time.

Therefore, a trading bot would need to trade on information that is not available to other bots, for it to be profitable. This is hard to achieve, and each bot that _do_ achieve it is making the market even more efficient.

> "Actually, Germany did not have a long term increase in coal/gas due to the nuclear shut down but a decrease"

> "Gas production did grow but mainly to offset declines in coal"

This is dishonest at two levels.

First, nuclear power fell and, at the same time, renewables and gas sharply rose in Germany's energy mix. Power is fungible. It is not as if power generated by renewables substitutes for nuclear, but power generated by gas doesn't. Germany had to add up it's energy inputs to meet 100% of its needs, and it used both sources to do so.

Second, everyone in Germany knew they were supposed to get rid of coal by 2030. That's the international deadline for coal in advanced economies. But the national phase-out law, until very recently, was eliminating coal at a far slower pace - aiming towards a terminal date of 2038. One reason why was the decline of nuclear.
I don't eat after 5pm during the week so I do experience odd bouts of hunger. Not sure whether the aleviation of symptoms is connected to this or just coincidental of other attempts to keep my blood pressure low?
It is far less of a hassle than it was with cable/satellite companies.

For example, I go to TV app on my phone or laptop or Apple TV. Search for what I want. Pay for it, and if it is a subscription, then go back to list of subscriptions and then cancel.

If it is Netflix, then you might have to do this in a browser since they do not cooperate with Apple.

Not sure how much easier people want it to get. I will gladly take this method of paying and watching for media than anything I experienced in previous years.
>That costs money to make,

I agree that high quality costs something, but anyone familiar with modern media should be aware that the relation between cost and quality is not 1 to 1.

Red Notice would be an example, and interestingly enough, an argument against the idea that consumers want high quality content. Sometimes consumers just want content that will be exactly what they think it will be, no more and no less.
I live in Europe. Currently, instead of the small risk of a nuclear plant going near me going bad (which even in the worst case scenarios has led to very limited loss of life), we're instead funding a country that is actively threatening nuclear retaliation for some of our policies.

So personally, I'd be happy to trade the small risk of a nearby industrial accident for the small risk of a massive fucking bomb exploding in my general vicinity.
Hahahaha good one :)
Because you still have the same expectations about how music should be structured the second time you listen to it. But the effect wears off after some time. Try playing it 20 times on repeat. It won't do it anymore. But that's mostly temporary, if you come back to it after a while it should work again.
I crave for calmness in my life.
Short term trading, via bot or not, is similar to a zero sum game. Building profitable bots is hard because you are competing for profit with very good ones.
So if nuclear is significantly more expensive that wind/solar like stated in the original article and faster to build (or are you disputing the numbers?), why would we not use the same money to instead build more renewables to get us there faster?
> client devices are very capable

my browser is using 5GB of ram on three tabs.

yeah, if you work next to the data center.
How many wind turbines have to be down to have the same effect as one nuclear power plant being down?

Not to mention that some people think Putin could attack other countries after Ukraine.
That's not the time you want nuclear power plants as possible target.
It is until you're on a list, for whatever reason.

With a decentralised approach, such actions would've needed to be implemented in the real world, not merely by the flick of a virtual lever.
Go to AirBnB. On the homepage you will see a bunch of premises.

Right click "Open image in a new tab".

Boom, you see the full image. On the home page, you only saw a cutout of the image.

Now imagine going to AirBnB and changing their workflow so that the server sends the right cutout. It would be a nightmare.

As it is, a frontend guy can change the cutout, do a/b tests with different cutouts, change the cutout dynamically based on window size, change the cutout when the image is displayed on different pages etc etc.

Try to set all of that up by talking to the frontend guys and the backend guys and try to get to a situation so that the frontend talks to the backend in a fashion that the frontend guys can easily do what they do now and the backend responds with the right images. Good luck :)

> no issues with tax&bank issues

Sure about that bit? This may be the perception – that holding your assets in 'the crypto system' avoids tax issues – but the taxman will disagree.

Swapping $BTC for $USDC or whatever your tether of choice is is a 'taxable event'. You've sold one security in exchange for another. It doesn't matter that they're both crypto.

Now, it might be harder for the taxman to detect this event, which is a different thing.

I found the explanation of the article very weak.

In my own experience it is caused by an 'overload' of emotions. When I had a burnout the same thing happened, but much faster. After reading into it I came to the conclusion that it must be a disorder in hormones.

So after reading this article I wonder if a frisson is in fact an 'overload' of hormones caused by a huge amount of emotions. And that this causes a mismatch between your emotions and what you are feeling.
For me it's not so much about the technical merits of SPA vs MPA its the annoyance of having all the stuff that used to be backend now part of frontend.

I resisted "learning" typescript for like 5 years or more and I hope it's been validated somewhat.

Being a web dev is hard enough dealing with myriad devices and ever changing trends without consolidating every aspect of web/app into that role because Facebook wanted to cut down on their server costs.

And I don't enjoy using those bloated electron apps either, the difference between native and JS is stark.
Traders and tax evaders. With stablecoins you can trade on decentralised smart contracts, and they even allow something called flash loans where you borrow the stablecoin, trade it for profit and then pay it back in one rollbackable transaction! Also there are many high yield investment schemes based on holding stablecoins.

I’ve been hearing that use case for crypto for a decade now. I don’t see people using crypto that way, they overwhelmingly use existing services which are cheaper and work fine the overwhelming majority of the time. People ignore this and speculate trillions into crypto.

My issue is that people don’t even need to see crypto actually succeeding at the use cases people talk about to be considered a good investment. People will invest in crypto regardless. I believe crypto does have value but the valuation in no way matches the actual present day value of the crypto or even a plausible projection of its future value. People just say “crypto to 100 trillion! Smart contracts!” and nobody has to see any real results that justify those numbers.

Why should I be impressed that something has potential? Many things have potential.

I like this. Now I have a fancy sounding name that I can throw around to counter some of the other fancy ideas that lead us to scatter logic all over the place.

In my opinion, which often seems like a minority opinion on the teams I've worked in, these questions should be (made) easy to answer:

- Where is this thing defined? For example a method. Surprisingly often it's hidden in a concern, behind a wall of indirections, or even generated by some clever metaprogramming.

- What happens when this thing runs? Hidden side-effects, nested method calls 17 layers deep, operator overloading, and interfaces can all make this harder.

- Why did this code run? Seems like it should be an easy thing to answer, but imagine that the stack trace is truncated because of some creative use of exception handling as control flow, that the call was made from a different process, or that it's in a callback that's been passed around like a hot potato.

I have a hunch that these kind of problems often pops up when you treat state and logic as two separate things. Then the way your code is organized won't match how state is managed. State transitions can happen anywhere, and the customer won't be reassured to know you used a great design pattern if it still takes you a week to figure out why their account balance turned negative, why their bill was sent twice, or why some users suddenly have access to things they shouldn't.

Some solutions I can think of:

- State machines, since they make state transitions very explicit.

- Functional programming to some extent. Immutability and pure functions might force you to handle state explicitly. It's still easy to make the logic messy though.

- I believe reactive programming is mainly an attempt to solve this? Are there any good implementations for other uses than front-end apps? Does it go by a different name?

- Hexagonal architecture?

What are some nice solutions that you've seen to these things? Patterns that take you in the direction of making critical things easy or even trivial to understand.
Wow, what a use-case.. sending money from the main NATO member to a country that the NATO supports and wants to win the war.

Now do the same thing with sending money to Russia. I just checked WISE. "We temporarily stopped sending money to Russia".

Yeah.. thanks..
the fees on exchanges are very small compared to paypal and similar products. Coinbase Pro fees are less than 0.6% and go down to nearly 0%.

for payments over 10K the fees may be less than Wise or a wire, and faster.

for average users the end game is L2 and direct on- and off- ramps from CEX and services like Ramp, and more payment processors accepting crypto so off-ramps will not be always needed. fees in L2 are in cents.
Serious question: Why?

Their website is obnoxiously terrible and uninformative. Even when you manage to navigate to https://kittycad.io/about and its linked pages, it's not clear what KittyCAD actually is or will be, just that the founders intend to somehow add better scripting to CAD via a paid API.

Local zoning means that the supply of housing is artificially constrained far below what would be an efficient use of land. Are you suggesting that labor has similar constraints in carpentry, or just being glib?
I can agree with that but also SpaceX absolutely started with the question "Why aren't rockets cheaper". Thus followed resuability with an question "Why are we building single use Rockets?". Either way, we should question all of this. The entire house of Nuclear industry is probably filled with bureacratic termites.

Actually sort of have that in Denmark, in Yousee - can't really see anything about it https://tv.yousee.dk/ without being logged in but they have an online cable service which also allows you to take content from HBO, ViaPlay etc. as well as current content from free tv and cable you are signed up for.

They also offer HBOMax, Netflix, and Disney+ but when you take those as your media offerings you have to use the various sites which I think is a mistake (probably they have to do it that way because of contractual requirements) but obviously if you use up your potential media selections from an YouSee account on other providers at some point you probably think why am I using YouSee?

If you generate a process using a Cauchy distribution, you can observe finite error bars, but actually the variance of the generating process is infinite.

No matter how hard you model you won’t be able to predict processes that are fundamentally unpredictable. And you would get fooled because you only observe finite amount of data.

It is surprising how complicated the math gets even if you try to model very simple processes (eg think of the n-body problem and how complexity increases with every addition of a body). It is not a given that complicated models mean you’re modelling a complicated process.

Sweden also. Berries and mushroom are picked almost exclusively by foreign workers. The government even had to open an exception to COVID restrictions to allow those workers to come in and to their job, as otherwise a whole harvest season could've been lost as there's no way swedes would do the job themselves.
