Digg v4 failed because the user experience was basically equal to if when someone forgets to renew their domain, and a squatter put up some BS spam site in its place. There was no place for users on Digg v4. And without users, it's har

As I've gotten more senior my need for coding has not gone away, so I may even be doing more opensource coding now, on my free time. Coding C++ at work all day, maybe not C++ all night at home. Meetings all day at work? Yeah, I still

Bah, as someone who until recently had C++ as favorite language (now Rust), I'd say C++ doesn't belong on that list! But so say probably all those people too, about "their" language. ;-)

You should make friends with Steve Gibson ( https://www.grc.com/ ). He writes all his code is assembly. :-)

I made a whole bunch of things that have not been deprecated or tech debt. It's about which technologies you use. C is not deprecated. Maybe in a 100 years it will be, but it seems unlikely. It's very rare to find someone who has

The most successful life form on a planet will probably always ask themselves this. Because if we'd been happy remaining primitive then we wouldn't have become advanced. We were not happy after inventing technology (not with techn

How else do you follow blogs, or follow webcomics? I don't think I've ever seen a blog or webcomic that doesn't support RSS. If I ever do, then "oh, this author is interesting, but I guess I will never in my life see any

I don't judge you, but when I actually can pay for a product that is as good as (or better) than pirated, then I don't mind paying. For youtube I can. So I do. It's just a shame that so many industries give you a worse produc

That's fair. Because also probably the people the advertisers want to reach MOST are exactly the people who have the spare money (and willingness to spend it) to shell out for YT Premium. But yeah I'd pay to get rid of all the &qu

You can go directly to the subscriptions tab. Or hell, Youtube has an API; You can write your own frontend.

Youtube premium also includes other features, such as ability to download videos to view offline (e.g. flights). But I also feel like you have an incorrect unstated assumption: People are not perfectly rational. The difference between payin

At least for YT there's a solution: YT Premium. Sure, as other comments have said, it doesn't scale to all websites, but youtube isn't just any website.

The same police that had the chief say "oh they weren't supposed to, he he he" when people were arrested for quietly holding A4-sized signs a few months ago on this topic. They're fascists. That used to be hyperbole, but

I once talked to a somewhat famous hacker by logging in to an account he set up via SSH that spawned 'talk' as the shell. He didn't trust IRC and other chat systems. Is the end he got caught anyway due to sloppy opsec. Like m

I'm not disagreeing. Blockchain zealots like to play this game of semantics. You should direct your energy on debating semantics towards them instead.

Heh, good point. But Tesla is an actual business. People are actually driving around in actual cars. Not so for Theranos (no product at all). Not so for FTX (ponzi scheme / pure theft). But fair enough. In a way the difference to WeWor

Not in a way that is relevant, I agree. But if you squint enough then it's an "immutable" ledger that appends and uses signatures. Blockchain zealots often yell out "git" as a success story of blockchain, whenever s

Yeah, really. "Other alleged Secret Geniuses[…] Elizabeth holmes, SBF, Adam Neumann". Major eyeroll, here. Two of those three are criminal fraudsters who never even had a product. And while not a outright fraud, even Adam Neumann
