Every few years I try Jellyfin, and each time it really fails bad. I need it to work on Roku. I need it to work on my phone. Working on XBox is nice. The last time I tried it, it couldn't handle a folder with hundreds of videos. I don&

Google's UX was terrible long before LLMs, as any Google Cloud user can attest to.

The issue is that your comment is a rationalization. In reality, evidence beats logic any day of the week. Just because what you say is logical doesn't mean it's true. As such, it's not adding anything to the conversation.

Geographically Arabia is more than just Saudi Arabia, so the title is inaccurate.

The deeper issue is that the comment isn't adding anything to the conversation. It's simply a list of criticisms about Anthropic. If it were an analysis of why this acquisition is so bad, I'd agree with your stance. But the o

By a tad. SpaceX's worth is an order of magnitude more than Twitter's debt. I doubt any serious person considering buying shares in SpaceX will spend even a moment worrying about Twitter.

I always preferred Mercurial to Git, but now that Jujutsu is out there, I think Mercurial's demise is all but guaranteed. If there were a reliable way to use Mercurial on a Git repository, it could live. But why bother when one can use

Yes - whenever I'm in a team and I hear someone who insists on a linear history, I always wonder why they have trouble with merge when lots of folks like me have no problem with it. Finally, in one team, I more or less forced a senior

I'm surprised this is news - or perhaps just surprised that there was still some of 538 around ...? ABC officially sunset 538 over a year ago (and laid off most/all of the staff).

First, I'll just point out that your original comment talked about two separate things: 1. Why would one move to the US (presumably long term)? 2. Why would one come to study in the US? The calculus is quite different between the two

Yes but if you come from a poor country, pay outweighs everything else. Without money the kids may get a crappy education (and I mean really crappy where the teachers intentionally don't teach), really crappy healthcare, and no hope of

Oh yes. As I said, the math department guaranteed 6 years. If they can't guarantee it, they won't admit the student. The engineering departments, however, admitted students regardless of funding as long as they met the bar. On the
