I'll tell you this – there are people who watched all Netflix titles and never visited netflix.com. People who read the NYT daily but never visited nytimes.com. What does this change mean? There will be more such people.

I don't understand – how exactly DRM knows that I have a video-capture card recording my screen right now? The browser has no idea. Or what prevents me from copying NYT article and re-hosting it? What DRM has to do with it?

> The New York Times would refuse to serve content to unattested user agents. You forgot one thing – once a copy of the content is server to AT LEAST one attested user agent – what prevents him from sharing his copy with unattested users

I wonder why people are asking Google search like they would ask a person? Just googling "black nvim" yields a correct result (project repository) where you can follow the lines to get it installed/configured in a minute. Wh

We all know no good games are coming from this company any more, and it is true for a long time now. Microsoft is the most anti-competitiveness corp in the world and Bobby's comments... They are really funny :) The sun is finally setti

Can we really trust such data? How good is it statistically? I mean by looking at User-Agent string of web page requests you can try to guess what OS made it, but it is just about the web requests and an arbitrary string that the user can c

I loved this article! In the end, it is exactly to the point: code adds and adds complexity; complexity we hate. At the same time, complexity comes from our flawed knowledge, and only true knowledge gained in battles shows us simple ways. S

It is fascinating how far the article is away from the paper. This all looks set up just to market something. First of all, the paper only provides suggestive(!) evidence that customer support agents(!) work faster and better if AI is writi

But you can buy verified twitter accounts starting from $0,035 per pc. I really don't understand how can it pose any serious roadblock for scrapers.

News websites filled with "AI" headlines pulling in money from ads, ha-ha. I mean, there is no sensation here. Before AI-generated text, you could pay 5$ per 1000 characters of human-generated text, and it was used to do the same

If you used VIM, there is no possibility VSCode would feel faster in any sense, I don't understand how it is possible. You can plug in the whole VSCode tooling inside VIM making it the same in terms of functionality, and it would not a

Generally, no-one hosts public content on the S3. It is simply really expensive when it comes to outbound traffic. The content is usually cached and served by CDN, where you have full control over authentication and cross-origin rules.

UPnP could be enabled on your NAT, but probably not, because it comes with certain security considerations. If you take most used networks globally – which are the cellular carrier networks, they won't let you do it. The point is about

yeah it is wild that it is an unpopular opinion, perhaps my tone was a bit aggressive here towards Apple – but after all these years using their software – i detest most of it, and especially where they want to intervent my content for what

They don't stand a chance in competition against cheaper ways of getting data from them. In the end, they still give all the data for free in the form of HTML pages.

There are five posts in the past 47 days that desperately try to draw attention to the fact that Rust has a community fork now called Crab. The last four accumulated almost no activity, but this one suddenly made it.

I don't understand why is it more effective than the manual lookup... If a certain cli tool has hundreds of arguments from which I need certain 2, I would rather open documentation and man pages in the `less` tool rather than scroll an

In the terminal, you can browse man pages and --help text of every CLI command... Who on earth needs another tool to do it?

I think a lot of stuff is taken wrongly in this article. First of all, React.js is a library that just provides a handful of hooks. "magical HTML and JavaScript" code is called JSX, and that is transpiled by Babel into not-so-magi

You're right... I went off-lane there. It makes total sense of course since there is a demand for data, and clearly, just a minority of the people can just scrape everything at will, even if it sounds like kids play to me. And actually

It is very easy and cheap to scale. 1$ for 1000 captchas solved, 10$ for 1000 proxies. Then you have 1000 users, and these are kinda impossible to distinguish from your typical common users if you cared to randomize the digital fingerprints

Any private clinic would pay the better nurse more? You can check this quickly on job-listing portals – nurse wages are in the 20000-100000k/year range, so clearly supply and demand as well as qualification are determining it. Which so

I think a better analogy would be: "ChatGPT as a Crappy Primary School Teacher", has hard-coded traditionalistic morales, and can answer anything but information quality is strictly not guaranteed.
