Seems to be not hitting every user the same way. I also did not have any direct message about ad blockers, but I did notice videos not loading correctly and requiring a page refresh to work. Updating uBlock seemed to fix that issue. It was

One thing which seriously improves my experience is using the "Block element" feature on non-ads as well. Suggested videos, youtube shorts, banners, etc, all get blocked. Leaves the site much more lean and leaves less distracting

I've been using uBlock since shortly after it launched, and I'd rather lose access to all Google services than not have an ad blocker. I seriously question how people use a browser without one. Completely changes how the web feels

I would call that a micro-service architecture using a mono-repo. I think a lot of people here are conflating mono-repo/poly-repo with a mono-deployment. You can easily add in extra entrypoint executables to a single mono-repo. That al

That was an amazing video, thanks for sharing! I really appreciate that there's a link to the shader code as well. Makes me want to dive into graphics again!

I started using Kotlin in Java 8 before the "record" keyword existed to be able to use "data class" instances. This provided very nice semantics for defining immutable structures, and the resulting classes could be impor

Agreed. The more non-intrusive your APIs are, the better the overall experience is going to be for developers. Diverging from official/standard APIs means higher chance framework lock-in, which has kept me away from a lot of tooling. A

I feel like this was a trend. Windows Movie Maker from XP was tremendously better than all of their replacements. I remember using that heavily when I was in middle-school, making stop motions and stupid videos with my friends.

I know this is a meme, but after writing a lot of Go, and now finally trying out Rust for a new project, I’m quickly coming to this conclusion.

Thank you. This was much more approachable for someone like myself that has little background (a few undergrad courses) in both machine learning and computer vision concepts.

Yep, I'm tired of fighting the arms race with twitch ads, so I just mute the video now and do something else for a few minutes. I would honestly be perfectly happy with a black screen for 30 seconds as a compromise to ads. I only leave

I very much dislike import side effects in any language. Im a lot happier where thing.Register() is still forced to happen in the main function. Still, I can understand it for some components like loggers to not add boiler plate to every li

This 100%. Once the client becomes too hostile, I'll just stop using the service. I've been clear of Reddit since Apollo shut down, and if ad blocks stop working on youtube, I'll just find something else to do. Apart from jus

I call that weaponized dogmas. It’s at least better than people who insist on being DRY by writing an inscrutable generic helper function which will only save 3 or 4 lines of code duplication.

On the note of our acronym: After being a territory of Brittan, Newfoundland was its own country for a brief period of time. Much earlier before this point, Brittan conquered Labrador from the french (which used to be called "New Franc

Not quite of the same caliber. A checked exception has the form `R func(T t) throws Err`. A concrete result type (like Rust has) would look like `Result<R, Err> func(T t)`. The later fits nicely into the `Function<,>` interface,

Newfie here. Newfoundland dropped the NLFD abbreviation for just NL about 20 years or so ago. I’ve always heard that we painted the houses with whatever paint was on hand because the wind is strong that it strips away every couple of years.

Very true. Checked exceptions in Java are a form of function coloring problem for modern libraries. Especially painful when using any of the functional style stream operations, like `map`, `filter`, etc, or any other higher order function l

Final only protects the variable from being assigned a new reference (similar to a const pointer). It doesn’t protect any of the underlying data held by the object from being changed, unless the entire hierarchy has every field declared fin

Ive been increasingly disliking ORMs in general lately. After a few days of trying to identify connection leaks and poorly optimized queries in a SQLAlchemy application, I’m starting to lose my hair. I think this actually speaks well to the

Funny enough, I do actually find that interesting. Certainly not fixing your broken project, but, definitely designing package managers in general!

My issue had nothing to do with morals. If I cant use Apollo, then I wont use reddit. All of the other clients are awful, and I dont miss the content enough to justify using the official app, or finding other ways to circumvent the restrict

I think the key difference here is to consider toleration vs adoption. Old code is able to tolerate the changes and still work in new ecosystems. There is still work on maintainers if they want to actually adopt the features themselves. All
