There's a kind of karmic comedy in this. Programmers' jobs has always been to automate other people's jobs. The panic of programmers about their own jobs now is immensely funny to me. As has been the case for all those jobs c

It blocks Youtube's ads just fine. You might've tried it during an arms race moment. YT is constantly changing it's anti-blocking measures, and uBO and uBO Lite are constantly responding. uBO had the same issue. uBO Lite does

Stuff like that and the one you replied to are why I stopped caring. The outrage is so often complete and utter nonsense that my default response is disbelief.

Don't be silly. Yes they do. What's much more likely is that you and I are thinking of different scenarios. I'm not thinking about your average hellos, thank-yous, good-mornings, questions, requests for assistance, short rema

Why is it "civil" to impose yourself on others and "uncivil" to let others be?

It's funny. You call me self-centered, yet you feel that you have the right to impose your life story on others. But sure, I'll admit to writing in an abrasive style. So I'll rephrase. "This is a good thing. It clearly s

People joked about those people back then too. They were just reading a book or newspaper while walking.

No. Pointing out a flaw in an argument doesn't require proving the opposite.

Always recording is a good practice I think. It's so cheap with video conferencing that you might as well. Even if nobody uses it later, it didn't cost much. And if you get that one presentation that provides stellar value it&#x27

Well, it's not the reality of most slides I've seen. Most of them seem to be a pretty good summary of the talk. Weirdly, some of them contain more information than the talk. I do believe most presentations I've seen could&#

Yeah, recordings are fine for those who missed it. And with video conferencing recording is so easy that you might as well do it, living the motto "better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it". But when some

Wait. I'm unclear what your point is. Is it that asking for a copy is an unreasonable burden that should require a significant time investment from me? I've sent many copies of many things I made in my live. It's not so bad.

I don't get it. As I understand the article: 1. There was a model in 1972. 2. That model predicts collapse in the mid 2020s. 3. A new group has recalibrated the model with modern data. 4. The model still predicts collapse. How does tha

Ironically, you're trying to apply a German mindset to the entire European market. That doesn't really work either. In the sense that Mittelstand is more than just SMEs, I don't think it ever really existed here. There's

There are quite a few services like that. Though they resemble video-streamers a bit more, in that not everything is available everywhere. There's a lot of books that are only available in certain countries, and also a lot of books tha

The problem isn't the first-time generating the code. The problem is when objects gain fields and people forget to add them to hashCode and equals (or worse, hashCode OR equals). It's the kind of thing you won't notice until
