Sure, you own the servers so you can rollback. You don't own a user's device. If you want to rollback after a full rollout, all you do is build your new/rollback release from your previously working commit and update your version number.
> Is it robbing video creators to mute an ad while it's playing? Is it robbing video creators to get up and grab a drink during an ad?

There are many in the industry that would argue that it is, as would be "switching the channel" on a television.

That's why you see a patent every couple of years for things like automatically pausing ads when they detect that a user's gaze is not on the ad, or pausing the ad and content altogether until the user confirms that they saw the ad by saying a keyword from it.

There are a variety of reasons why these kinds of ad affirmation tools have not been employed yet, but it is just a matter of time until they are. There is simply too much money left on the table.
Makes sense. Read the basics about the Autonomic Nervous System, the sympathetic and para-sympathetic branches.

You don't want to stay in sympathetic activation. Browsing on a phone may seem relaxing, but it keeps your sympathetic nervous system engaged. Think of it as "goal oriented activity".

I've got into a habit of laying on my back for like 10-20 mins before I turn to the side. It really does help calm me down a bit. I don't try to "stop thinking" or count or anything like that, just laying on my back and feeling the sensation.

Some arguments in favor:

- if you work in IT likely you're sitting a lot, and your psoas shorten. When you lie on your back it opens the psoas a little bit, so you feel that very gentle stretch in the tummy area

- for anxious people, we are designed by nature with eyes that can scan in front of us, but our back is less secure. I think lying on your back for a little while, lets you "secure" this area, as well as release the neck and back muscles a little more

Following this intuition, in the summer when it's too hot to have a blanket, I found a trick where I would roll my duvet in like a long tube, then when I lay on my side, I would pull the "tube" with one arm, and press it against my back. This way I would not be covered on top, but have a more secure feeling in the back and I think it also helped me fall asleep.

Think of lying on your back as rest. It's not about willpower so much, but engaging the para-sympathetic part of the nervous system, which is typically about release/relaxed curiosity (ie. feeling the body a little bit) rather than being engaged and pursuing what nowadays is typically an endles stream of content.
Likewise. My biggest tip is set your secondary DNS to something outside your networks so if your pi-hole goes down your entire network doesn’t go down you just get ads.
It might be possible that they logged the bug just to say, "Yes, we know this academic problem exists in Coalton" and don't actually care about it.
I suspect this has more to do with your social circle, which given the density of homeschoolers is probably either hyper-religious, doomsday preppers or some other dysfunctional subculture, and I'm not surprised those children would grow up to hate their parents.

To be fair though, I'd imagine an hour or two a week of socialization is still quite insufficient. On the flip side, 10+ hours a day of socialization is unquestionably unnecessary, and forcing your kids to become conformists or get beat up/bullied/etc (which is the reality in public schools unless you live in a really rich neighborhood) in order to get a little more socialization time isn't a good tradeoff. There are a lot of non-school activities children can engage in to get peer socialization where the type of bullshit that occurs in public school doesn't fly, due to the adults that run those activities losing customers and having their livelihood threatened if they let kids be little cunts, unlike public schools.
Correct. It can also run during the build, so it can be used to dynamically generated .txt, .json, or any other files. Great when deploying a static export of Next.js and dumping on S3 or similar.

The problem is that many of my users are temporary. For example, I have an app for the public transit system for a resort town in Colorado. The town has a decent, albeit small bus system. They technically have an app from their vendor, although it is not very good and is difficult to find. If you search for "$town_name transit app", it won't show up anywhere, where as my app does. And I think my app is much more user friendly. I wrote it because I visit this area a lot and hated the vendor app.

My users are visiting this town for a few days, and are most likely going to open the app/play store and search for an app, use it for a few days, then leave the town and forget about it. The least amount of friction I can provide the better. My only goal is to support public transit and make it a smoother experience.

The article is about Wordpress.com selling 100-year registrations.

Their platform is whatever they call “Wordpress”. In the same way, NYT on a phone app is conceptually the same NYT as the one printed in 1923, even if almost nothing in the production pipeline is the same.

It's not about being free, it's about being possible. The only time I wasn't able to update a Windows laptop was when 32-bit support was dropped with Windows 11 and when the hardware was just too slow (and even then I was able to, it just sucked to use).

Yes, in 1970s England, my junior school added a new swimming pool, largely paid for by community fundraising, and built by parents. My father was an architect and craftsman, who contributed design skills and labour.

In the 2000s, most old clubhouses and village halls had to be upgraded for disabled accessibility, or face closure. This usually meant rebuilding toilets, not just adding wheelchair ramps. Grants were available from local government. My father was retired by then, but did the designs and grant applications for several halls in his neighbourhood.

People create new content because they expect revenue from ads. Without ads, the entire content creation industry would die.

If you watch and enjoy YouTube in any capacity you should be ensuring that the creators get paid otherwise you’re robbing yourself of content.
What problems do you experience? Genuine question, because it seems to me you can still go out and just drink non-alcoholic stuff?

I've never really done it myself, but I've had several friends over the years who didn't drink, and their social lives seemed fine.
Wow. Need this as a golang net/http shim.
I don't find it tedious at all, and I say that as someone who has never had a single drink in his life. There are many people with alcohol addiction that need to hear messages like the GP's. Perhaps you need to develop your sense of empathy.

Perhaps. But perhaps we should consciously sacrifice that for better quality of life. We don't need more or fancier stuff. We need better opportunities for more people, better distribution of the wealth, wages to match productivity which they haven't in decades, and better quality of life.
It’s not about being a static website.

It’s about using the latest cutting edge technology to build the best possible web application for uses.

“Best” as in; Perfect SEO, Simple theming, Fastest loading possible, Secure, Simple and affordable hosting, and so on.

WordPress is very dated, and they are very comfortable in their niche. The reason they maintain the market share that they do is because there just isn’t a better option for users currently.

But to address your static comment; It in my opinion that most most blog sites store static text that never changes in a database, and a backend server has to query for data and return it to the frontend.

This workflow seems a bit overly complex when I could just store the text in a document, and eliminate the need for a backend server or database.

The internet as we know it was created so that CERN could share static text documents with others. Why don’t we bring the web back to that?
And now we understand why propaganda is often designed to invoke anger. When someone is trying to make you angry it should make you suspicious instead. People only try to invoke emotional responses from you when an explanation would out their fraud, or when they don't understand what they're talking about.

You have a fair point ( though I wasn't quite referring to that) , in the sense that we all make decisions based on best evidence that fits our own best analysis rather than be paralyzed by “we don’t know” stand.

My guess regarding most people that I know, is that a typical 'climate-denier' ( the ones I know) generally have investigated more that his 'climate-acceptor' counterpart who seems to have unequivocally accepted the official position.

Note I'm not saying that that the 'climate-denier' is right, I'm saying that he has made more efforts to understand the information available to him. Who is to say who brought into the 'propaganda'?
Social-political propaganda and marketing go so well together. Like various politicians having "Barbie moments" recently.

most of the "right wing conspiracy theorists" that i see have been spending their time lately talking about Maui and how remarkably quick their "conspiracy theories" turned into real news, this time. Roadblocks, electrical lines sparking fires, water being withheld; all went from "(optionally russian) disinformation" to straight news inside of two weeks, this time.

There's been about a 2 year lag time previously.

Another use case that I've seen talked about when it comes to eye-tracking technology is as it relates to the ad industry (it's always the freakin ad industry...). Eye-tracking is another way to detect what you're paying attention to. Currently, a lot of the ad business depends on measuring impressions, but they do so with heuristics. Eye-tracking can actually tell you if a user is looking at something vs pretending they do.
Many parts of Khan Academy are great precisely because Sal is good at explaning things. In an engaging fashion, in clear language, with frequent exercises. It's benefited many people over the years (including myself).

Building a succesful learning platform which has impacted many students, certainly qualifies someone to have an opinion on education in my book. Would you be happier if he were some elected Minister Of Education -- who, from what I've seen, are generally about as qualified as a box of donuts?

I agree with you in many cases. At my professional company, we've made the decision to write native apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and the web, because we have pretty deep integration into each platform and want the best native experience for our users.

But, for my personal apps (which is what I am talking about in this thread), I can't support that. Writing it once and maintaining it takes up enough of my free time. This app also doesn't have any integration with the system, and has a minimal interface, so it works quite well as a web app.
a[1] has to raise an IndexError because there's no return value it could use to otherwise communicate the item doesn't exist. Any such value could itself be a member of the sequence. To behave otherwise, Python would have to define a sentinel value that isn't allowed to be a member of a sequence.

When using slice notation, the return value is a sequence, so returning a zero-length sequence is sufficient to communicate you asked for more items than exist.

It may be surprising, but it almost always leads to more ergonomic code.

Tech Breakdown: Third Person Cameras in Games
Whiplashing Priorities
Navigating the stormy seas of product management means dealing with constantly shifting priorities. This chaotic process can create confusion, and dissatisfaction, and even lead to project failure.

The Symptoms
Constant Changes: Your product roadmap is ever-changing, and priorities shift overnight.

Team Struggles: Teams suffer confusion, morale declines, and progress stalls.

Lack of Strategic Vision: Goals across all levels of leadership are unclear or inconsistent.

The Solution
Unify Around a Multi-Year Vision: Align your organization around a customer-centric vision that spans multiple years.

Embrace Consistency: Set priorities, limit ongoing work, and avoid unnecessary changes.

Foster Clear Communication: Engage with stakeholders, ensure alignment, and resist external pressure to change direction.

Death by 1000 Cuts
The pressure to please every stakeholder can lead to the fatal mistake of taking on too many minor initiatives. This causes a dangerous fracturing of focus, with efforts spread so thin that nothing substantial gets accomplished.
I think the fact that the hype cycle was so short is evidence in LLM's favor as a revolutionary technology.

Hype-bubble technologies live off their hype forever, and need to accelerate the hype to get more investment in a technology that doesn't actually have that many applications. The hype cycles are long, escalatory, and recurrent. Think blockchain, NFTs, IoT, AR, etc.

When a technology is really revolutionary, there's a big surge of interest at the hype level, and then it quickly becomes mundane as people stop talking about it because they're too busy actually using it. Think the internet, smartphones, social media, wikipedia, youtube, etc
Are you "ecstatic" about living close to an office or RTO mandates? The former is totally understandable. Shit, who wouldn't want to live next to a sparsely populated office, optional to use whenever you want. If you're stoked mgmt is pushing RTO because more chums at the water cooler... not great Bob
I have no idea. I haven't used bugzilla in many, many years.

I'd be happy for neither though. Markdown's origins were such that you could write plaintext files that could not only be easily converted to html or some rich format, but were easy to read as-is.

Displaying the plain-text of an issue in fixed-width font would be fine.
The reality is, video conferencing gives you almost all of the benefits of being in office and of face to face communications. While efficiency of using meeting recordings and not being stuck wasting time at the meetings stays. You can cut away useless air travel, hotels costs, remove rush time traffic. And give employees more flexibility. Source global workforce efficiently.

Or you can try copying Google and Apple. Without having a $1B half-empty campus that is currently pretty pleasant to work at, because it is not crowded. The results will be very predictable.
Wine is at the extreme end, but the subsidy is to preserve food security and jobs in rural communities. It applies to a wide range of agricultural goods and basic products of those goods (cheese, wine etc).
Wordpress.com can change their technology without becoming something else.

They own the Wordpress trademark just like NYT owns theirs. Somebody who buys a 100-year registration from Wordpress will have the service delivered on whatever Wordpress has become by 2123.
>You can be way more productive and get work done faster

You get less work done because OCD admins keep adding more and more required fields to tickets and you end up having to spend more and more time on writing tickets. In a less flexible system you wouldn't need to deal with so many mandated stupid workflows that suck time away from actually writing and testing code.
I used the original Moto X as long as I could. I can't even remember what I got after. I'm now sporting a iPhone mini.

Obviously the market just isn't there for smaller phones, but I actually think the iPhone 3GS had the best form factor of any phone I've used, and it's smaller screen encouraged information density, which I like.

I say I use an iPhone mini now, and it's true, but only because Apple requires you to use an iPhone with their Watch. I've given up on the phone form factor, and use an Apple Watch with an ear bud and cellular, and keep the phone in drawer most of the time. Actually is was the Moto lineup that got me onto that: they had that short-lived earbud that was marketed as requiring zero screen in order to do all your mobile computing (I never got one though).

You might wonder why one wouldn't just use an Android watch that could do all of it without the bullshit Apple tax across multiple devices. It's for similar reasons for why I didn't end up liking the Galaxy Note, even though it still, to this day, feels like a miracle that they could cram so many features AND so much quality into that device, and that it could legitimately perform in all those categories.

The iPhone mini still feels too big, but at least it's mostly usable with one hand, even if it's not comfortable to do something like pull down the control panel shade on the top right corner with your left hand.

I know I'm just a weirdo though. I thought the Windows Phone UI was brilliant, especially the audio design.
Got a good chuckle from this, thank you.

Judging by how your comment appears to already have been flagged by other users though, you may want to include your actual point after the punchline.
I assume the cost of the children's formal education (private school might have discounts for employees, but they still probably have to pay some fees), plus possibly the lower salary of teachers might have been a factor. (also daycare costs for the kids not school going age yet)

If they are saving money by not paying school fees, and having to transport family and wife to the school/daycare everyday, and they are getting a professional qualified teacher at home, with a very favourable teacher : student ratio and unlimited teaching time....

well I can understand why they are willing to take the hit of losing the teacher-spouse's salary.
Simply getting in your car and driving to work increases your all-cause mortality significantly. I'd wager more people die in car accidents on their way to work than DUIs. Anecdotally I've been nearly killed several times because someone was late for work and ran a red light, cut me off, etc. Road rage incidents increase because you have to be in the office by X hour.

Reduced health, of course, because of driving. You can also consider most employers aren't going to stock a full kitchen so you're probably eating more fast food and garbage snacks. You're more sedentary because you typically can't walk out of the office for a quick trip to the gym, etc. Oh, also, your sleep is probably worse because you have to be up 2 hours early to get ready for work and drive.
This is good because people who choose to go to an office without being forced are self-selecting themselves for social interaction. Anyone you see there wants to be there so they should be fair game for pleasantries.

I do not want to be approached. When 5pm rolls around, Slack stops sending notifications, and when I slam my laptop shut, it doesn’t open until 9am the next business day at the earliest.

That said, a whole office just to placate such people seems like a gratuitous expense.

The problem with this "fitting in" narrative is that as adults we don't care about it so much, people enjoy meeting new and unusual people (as long as they're baseline socially functional), there's a huge social stigma against being bigoted so basically everyone views adult bullies as worthless assholes and the cops will arrest people for much less than bullies get away with on the school yard every day even in the face of repeated parental protest.
