I have Firefox set up to always ask for permission to play DRM protected content. This happens way more often than I ever expected. it seems that a lot of video ads have DRM. maybe that's what you're running into?

not sure why it should be surprising that an artillery-heavy force in the middle of an artillery-heavy war is producing more shells than air and naval focused forces that aren't in the middle of a land war.

Systems admin for live events. think the Olympics, F1, PGA, etc. A lot of these have centralized information (stats, analysis, A/V, etc) distribution that journalists, teams, and sponsors rely on, plus all the timing and scoring system

I was curious about this too so I dug into it a bit. it seems that the point placement has to be optimized to ensure they have roughly even spacing while still being randomly placed. the naive algorithm is O(n^2) where n is the number of pi

Whoever thought "Transcendent Mobility" was a good name for what's nothing more than a consumerized version of the standard ride app ebike design needs to get out of their bubble more often. There are some good ideas here, li

Just imagine all the vibe coded nonsense your clients would bring to the table. Billable hours sure, but still.

This was a game changer for me. The Unreads tab became a bit like email. I'd check it out a few times a day and respond where needed. Greatly cut down on the amount of distraction-by-noise I suffered in a day.

considering this guy's AI generated concept art and the fact that this concept is far from new (eg Snow Crash's smart skateboard wheels), I have to imagine he plugged the idea into chatgpt and fleshed it out until it resembled som

I've seen that same figure for YT ad revenue alone. sponsorships can range from $0.015-0.030 per video for channels with 1k to 50k subscribers. at a biweekly cadence, they'd need ~6M views per video to hit $150k with ads alone. if

Based on the docs Neon has in GitHub, I have to disagree. The mechanisms are similar, esp how the Page Server keeps some pages cached locally, but they serve different goals. The Page Server cache and WAL consensus are both temporary storag

doesn't all of this assume that the startup reaches a liquidity event which favors the employee though? or at least that the startup is hot enough that there's a secondary market for those shares? unless I'm misunderstanding

this all seems fine but I have to question whether it's smart to gate the Desktop Experience behind a paywall. dumping people into an unusably spartan desktop and leaving them to figure it out is great for the people who are keen to sp

IIRC you're correct, but the comment is a red herring. In Python, the double slash (or type casting) is necessary as a single slash will yield a float by default. Double slash returns an int.

Loving the motion controls! More sites need fun little Easter eggs like that. Also, I wish I'd known about Goody a couple years ago. We ran a lot of internal hackathons and sent out a lot of thank yous. With a fully remote team, managi
