Surely this is a consequence of management and corporate ideology, rather than a natural outcome of having some arbitrary number of devs in a room. A good project manager doesn't allow great ideas to die on the vine unless there is pre

It's ironic to be declaring the GP as dismissive while you're flippantly dismissing the work of everyone involved with F@H. You're conveniently ignoring the incentive of expanding our understanding of biology, which has very

I'm definitely an edge case for music. I've been obsessed with metal since the mid-90s, and have downloaded quite literally every release. Unfortunately, the streaming services don't seem to care much about having a complete

As a 5TB MP3 hoarder myself (along with ~50GB/day of movie/TV pirating), I was curious as to how much content 30TB actually is, so I checked the average file size for my last 300 downloads of mostly 1080p shows and 2160p movies. T

I simply asked you to copy and paste a single sentence to act as an example representative of your "take," but instead, you're deflecting and acting even more inflammatory. The simple fact is that you didn't read the art

You didn't offer a take on what the author said, as evidenced by the fact that the author made zero claims of grandeur or even goodness, and the entire premise of the article wasn't the ideas themselves, but to encourage other peo

> Some people are so full of themselves that they don't even realize how crass they might come across. An appropriately ironic comment, given that you just arrogantly belittled someone while also accusing them of narcissism, despite

The GP made sarcastic commentary about Google keeping and using this community-generated data to empower themselves. Your response was to belittle them and arrogantly claim that Google is releasing the data. You were then shown that Google

Your aggressive tone is completely inappropriate, especially considering that you are mostly wrong. They have released a single dataset, and specifically state on the site that only some of the data will be open sourced. So, perhaps it is

With current technology, I think it would actually be somewhat simple to create an ASMR channel, for example, with generated content that only shows realistic hands manipulating objects, accompanied by a bot that variably responds to commen

An interesting portion of this is the Restricted API, which limits the number of sites to 10, but allows an unlimited number of requests at the $5/k rate. There doesn't seem to be any restriction on business use, which seems like

I've always had the same mindset, which I think most pre-2000 coders share, and is likely a side effect of needing to develop within limitations. For one of many examples, early video games wouldn't have been possible without meti

The almost exclusive focus on exit strategies makes VC advice mostly useless for many concepts, particularly those based around community or specializations. To even have a built-in exit strategy feels like the business plan equivalent of f

I think the best option would be an extension that disables autoplay across the board. There are many out there, though all flawed in their own way. The least worst for Chrome seems to be AutoplayStopper.

The research into fasting and the gut biome over the past few/several years has been fascinating, mostly because it all boils down to rather simple mechanisms with hugely beneficial results. I do wish that the media would respect their

It's fascinating that the system is able to generate such precise imagery, yet can't handle words at all -- it can only barely reproduce words you explicitly tell it to. But sometimes it'll adds words when you're really

mIRC scripting was/is incredibly underrated, and was used for so much more than chat bots, as well. Among other things made easy, it provided a method of accessing raw sockets that allowed for basic IP spoofing, which was a boon for al

The unclosed tags were one method, and the other was applying a different formatting to every character. Even one or two messages of maximum length was enough to crash the client.

I think the one of the most interesting and overlooked stories about the AOL era, is how the warez scene used bots and AOL's mail system to host every piece of pirated content for years. Similar to IRC channels with bots that provided

No, it's not relevant, because they are discussing completely different conversion metrics and at different scales. Also, your insistence that less than 1% of viewers will interact is based on the mistaken assumption that 100% of repor

That article isn't applicable, as it's discussing 1% of a total market, whereas the discussion at hand is about 1% of the site's current userbase.

The ~96kbps audio makes this unbearable, even if it does come up with reasonably good stations based on input. It just sounds awful.

You are conveniently ignoring that developers create apps which are sold in Google's marketplace, of which Google takes a minimum of 15%. They are making more per developer than $25. Please take your inflammatory nonsense elsewhere.

Even if Google were paying support engineers $100/hr, in what universe is the average developer going to need 50 hours of support per year? In reality, it's at most averaging to 2 hours, and typically only in situations where Goog

Even without directly following Taylor's career outside of the context of Foo Fighters, this one hit harder than expected, made worse by the seemingly sudden nature of it. Sometimes it's easy to forget how much music actually mean
