I have js disabled by default for years now, mainly because for the type of content I randomly access, the percieved speed is a whole lot faster. E.g. I can start reading an article immediatly instead of waiting for content to stop jumping

We are using DataGrip and DBeaver to develop any non trivial SQL and investigations. Metabase we use for building dashboards, and we taught non technical people to use it so they can answer ~70% of questions they have about the data themsel

I think voice is more problematic. There are a bunch of channel that I would love content wise, but that I find straining to watch for more than a few minutes because of the audio/acoustic quality or their voices and dialects/acce

I think youtube has some amazing content and creators, but at least for the kind I like I almost never discover them trough youtube itself but only via external means such as discussion forums, friends, etc. Scrolling trough the home page o

For me it was for different reasons. Third day of cuarantine (Colombia, still ongoing 15 weeks in) I thought this might well be the easiest time to change habits – for the good or bad – for the rest of my life, so I made a couple of drastic

From what I heard the hunger problem is mostly coming from refined carbs, not carbs in general. I have nowhere near the expertise to make a claim one way or the other. But even if true, if you don't go for a drastic weight reduction sc

How does it take less effort? I lost around 30 kg from being obese without doing low, high or abstain anything. Also no calorie counting except in the very beginning. After going down the rabit whole of trying to understand all the details

Think for private repos gitlab has been a viable and fairly popular alternative for a long time. I reckon for open source the "de facto standard" plays a much bigger role, because of the user expectation to find projects on Githu

Well the problem seems to be that the other side can't be bothered to give their side of the story. Which is not something unheard of when dealing with large companies. If true,that they did not respond, that would be much more worriso

Most services existed before, with a variety of models. E.g. Both subscription and ad revenue based free news papers existed long before the internet. Somehow they managed, without the need to track ones every move. Would the internet look

I don't know if it is just cliche, but I have heard that Japanese people have a very different relationship to robots/automatization than western countries. Were we immediatly think Skynet, they see something that helps them.

I agree with you, but I think it is worth to reiterate to some people that pay does actually matter (Doesnt have to be above market in my opinion). I'm fed up of people thinking they can compensate for not paying adequately by buying a

Startpage.com says they are paying Google: "You can’t beat Google when it comes to online search. So we’re paying them to use their brilliant search results in order to remove all trackers and logs."

He mentions this at some point. Youtube shifts back the audio track ever so slightly on upload. After 800ish uploads it is completly gone from the video. But I don't understand why this would happen.

As far as I know they use or have used fountain pens, because it forces you to use more proper technique, e.g. not pressing too hard and be more careful while writing to not cause a mess. Which I find interesting, because we often use high

I was also thinking that keeping the latency constant across the group is much more important than keeping it as low as possible. Musicians could deal with 30ish ms delay once they get used to as they already do in situations you mentioned.
