Speaking anecdotally, I know and know of many people who believe the election was stolen from the president by a conspiracy, 100% of whom are devout evangelicals.

Yes, but the argument goes that someone selling a device specifically for receiving content may see you as a customer of that service primarily, rather than as a means to subsidize the cost of the display or device. Not sure how that plays

As I said, it can afford indies some legitimacy. I'm not arguing that either is good, but I think there is a fundamental difference. Apple is reacting to the threat of regulation, which is at least theoretically aimed at protecting sma

You don't need to distribute on Steam. While it can bring legitimacy to an indie, alternatives exist. Not so with the App Store. Steam wants to disincentivize big companies making their own distribution, which is why they have the regr

This was a time when there was widespread belief that iterating over an array was best done with a library. I know it's weird, but that's what $.each existed for. for ... of did not exist.

Things sure have changed in the last 12 years! The only method you're using that existed back then is join. Wild.

If I remember right, the intermediate string version was already a reflection of the shifting interpreter landscape. I distinctly remember learning to always prefer Array#join for these kinds of things in 2006 or so for the same reason cite

This is a funny quote. I really hope it doesn't keep people from learning regular expressions, which are actually not as hard as they are often portrayed and extremely powerful and efficient, as demonstrated in this post.

I guess this comment being downvoted indicates that this perspective is more widespread than I thought - can someone please explain to me how you would go about structuring a project with zero software development using libraries available

As near as I can tell, the post is a response to comments in reply to a previous post which essentially states that the _existence of cargo_ is bad because there are bad libraries available. This post further asserts that folks who like the

I guess I am stuck trying to understand if the assertion being made here is that folks who use a library to connect to PostgreSQL are not really writing software, but maintaining vendor garbage.

Pretty wild assertion that using rust crates eliminates development.

I think podcasters generally only care about RSS because it's how to get into the Apple Podcasts app. There are many hosting companies that will create friction and pain if a consumption platform attempts to vertically integrate and el

No. Once a valid, signed transaction is _out there_, any miner can (and is generally incentivized to) add it to a block. The closest thing to cancelling is making a new transaction which makes the first one invalid (e.g. by emptying the sou

Given your tone, it sounds like you sincerely believe that I am more likely to have positive feelings about doing well in a game than a girl is for reasons that are not cultural / social.

Cultural acceptance / expectations account for a lot of behaviors. I played soccer & baseball as a boy because that was what was expected of me, not because I have some natural inclination to do so.

That's a novel concern, at least to me - and it's not clear to me that we have seen any examples of _content modification_ based on psychographics. Curation and promotion based on targeting seems plenty pernicious at least at the

yes, for sure. lower volume shows mostly don't use DAI. the big ones use the systems I described. The podcasting standard does not allow for HLS enclosures. source: I have worked in podcasting for almost 10 years.

Real question - is it dynamic ads that bug you, or the implication that there is some personal tracking motivating the dynamic ads (rather than, say, calendar based ad buys or impression limits)?

> podcasts have unblockable ads As far as I know, they are also the last digital ads with a non-disableable skip button, so you win some and lose some.

No HLS in podcasting because of its legacy but just-in-time building of audio files with some caching is plenty fast. Some folks who do this use old internet radio streaming technology with the max buffer size set to infinity, but most of t
