If you click the gear icon in a video, you can turn that off.

I know that some wastewater treatment plants will sell biosolid sludge (the filtered and partially treated solid output of the treatment process). Do you know what, if anything, that does to the plastics? I think it's mostly mechanical

I want Visual Studio / Winforms style drag-and-drop WYSIWYG page building for React. Have a bunch of widgets to choose from (from a UI kit like MUI), position them on the page, edit their properties and events right in the GUI, and hav

Understandable. Thanks for the response! In that case, a few more screenshots or videos of the process would be nice.

It filters out a specific kind of programmer, but not necessarily the right kind. Somebody might be great at their job but have no domain knowledge of this sort of problem. It's kinda like how Advent of Code is totally irrelevant to a

Right, so then why don't the economics of Spotify work out if similar margins work in the games and apps industries? Is music really that much more expensive to make than video games? Are music labels much greedier than game publishers

(From a sibling comment of mine) I wish Spotify would let me "upgrade" individual albums to purchases. Like I'd still pay for my monthly sub, but if I particularly like a track or artist, I could buy that album for a discount

I'd buy albums off Bandcamp for artists I already know, but I wouldn't use it for discovery. Do they even have discovery features? (I honestly don't know) Steam's recommendations (and more importantly, sales) are how I d

Hot take: Maybe music consumption and production has changed enough that it's basically a commodity now, and maybe not worth paying "full" price for anymore most of the time? There's a tiny handful of artists for whom I&

I just search as normal and look in the playlists. Usually something in the top 2 or 3 results is a good one. I think they're ranked by number of saves or something? Not sure. The official ones labeled "Spotify" are also quit

I always appreciate shareable permalinks (if that's what you mean), but I think that's a different question than SEO. Personally I would expect share links to be unlisted (not indexed by search engines, not publicly discoverable,

The free plan still doesn't work. I never submitted anything. Was login gated, then forced to sign up with Google, then brought to the dashboard with 0/0 tokens, no way to submit anything, and nothing in the history. Too bad. Want

I don't know who Matt Butts is, but what do you mean? Those are just standard tools, along with robots.txt and a siremap, for telling well-behaved crawlers what to index and not. I've used them effectively across many sites. They

I work fewer hours than you and am still pretty braindead after work. That sounds like a really tough thing to do :/ Are oil heaters common where you live? Is there no way to use an electric one with a timer instead? Or go to a library

Do you do any moderation at all? Usually some combination of Cloudflare + Akismet + manual review (or LLMs these days) can drastically cut down on spam. Much more expensive than just adding HTML attributes, of course. And unmoderated share

Spotify has awesome playlists, both from the community and curated by the company itself. YouTube is much worse at that, last time I checked. Mostly shitty spam, as with everything Google. I don't really listen to individual songs or a

I don't think it's necessarily that LLMs by themselves will lead to AGI, but that LLMs proved what is possible with enough compute and money. In a few short years, we went from "bots struggling with CAPTCHAs" to "bo

Fizzbuzz is a stupid test not representative of anything useful. And I say that as a high school dropout, self-taught programmer who easily passed it, but only because I happened to learn about the modulus operator in some online tutorial y

For me it's the constant scaffolding of basic things, like setting up a parallelized rate limited fetch and merge across several paginated endpoints. Or setting up a basic Next plus MUI instance. I'm sure I could make a template o

On the desktop, I use uBlacklist to completely block YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, videos, and AI crap from Google. It makes the results a lot more usable.

Gosh, I really miss quality of life features like that in modern MMOs. Path of Exile is especially bad in this regard, requiring you to manually click and drag and items around your tiny inventory just to sort them. Ugh. At least when you w

Python? A lot of AI/ML stuff is written in it. Five years ago it would've been Javascript, since most of the world uses it on the Web.

Making a PR for a repo I don't have write access to. It's annoying to have to manually fork it, set my own repo as a new remote, push to it, and then manually go to Github to start a PR from my fork to the main branch in the origi
