I would be fine with the consumption model as long as it’s reasonable, but I honestly believe that streaming services hate this idea because it’s not as profitable as the ad model. In fact I am becoming more and more frustrated with service

This kind of goes along with my ongoing pet peeve about DX in general. There are very few organizations I’ve worked with that actually care and put their devs first. Case in point, I worked on a contract a few years ago with very frequent r

In reality it’s more like a line graph with stupid to clever on the Y axis, and lazy to hardworking on the X axis.

I’m a YouTube premium subscriber. It is absolutely a YouTube problem because content creators are blatantly bypassing the entire “ad-free” experience with impunity. And nobody can convince me with any clever wordsmithing that “sponsored con

Thanks because I was wondering if I just wasn’t “in the know”. They should do a better job at marketing, especially since it’s relatively unknown.

No kidding. As part of a mapping project I worked on, I created a set of 200+ custom SVG icons. I used Inkscape and hand-drew most of the shapes or modified existing glyphs from icon fonts or other raw vector graphic sources. This took mont

This may be confusing as e-file is not the same as DirectFile and it should have little or no impact to most taxpayers since you can still always file your taxes for free. DirectFile is just an in-house “competitor” to software such as Turb

This is silly. Everything exists “only in our brains”. The ancient Greeks knew this - see Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.

This is my experience as well. In the late 90s/early 2000s I had the luxury of a lot of time to deeply and learn Unix, Perl, Java, web development, etc., and it was all self-directed. Now with Agile, literally every hour is accounted f

I still have a Word 2000 installer CD with the original box and product activation key. Wow what a great word processor! Simple, fast, intuitive, and packed with cool features. Modern versions are not fundamentally different, but at the sam

This reminds me of a prank that almost got me fired from a federal government contract. Our team was working on a modern web UI replacement for a legacy green screen system written in back in the 80s. One day I was messing with the CSS and

You’re spot-on with the “magic” of Rails. While it can be very powerful and feature-rich, it can feel like a black box at times and stack traces aren’t always accurate or helpful. To be fair, this happens with a lot of library-heavy framewo

I am an independent and Trump supporter. I generally like his shows of strength, but I didn’t like the confrontational nature of this exchange. It lacked diplomacy and respect. Trump yelling things like “you’re gambling with World War 3” wa

I get what you’re saying, but Europe has its disgraces as well and I don’t see anyone rioting in the streets en masse. Don’t get me started on the UK, where core rights like freedom of speech/expression are a joke, yet I don’t see anyo

Many locals refer to it as such, but I am not sure the area has been officially deemed a bird sanctuary. It is a well-known area where birds from around the world converge.

We’ve been down many paths on this. In some cases we know exactly where it’s happening, but despite configuring everything correctly, it still complains. It might just be a bug in the Rails code or a fault in the way parameters are passed i

That’s why TDD (Test-Driven Development) has become a trend. I personally don’t like TDD’s philosophy of writing tests first, then the code (probably because I prefer to think of a solutions more linearly), but I do absolutely embrace the i

Yes, but…I suppose you have to pick your battles. There was recently a problem vexing me about a Rails project I maintain where the logs were filled with complaints about “unsupported parameters”, even though we painstakingly went through a

Can confirm. I see them almost every day in central Florida. I live near a so-called bird sanctuary and wildlife preserve so maybe that accounts for sone if it.

My father almost died on Paxlovid. Almost immediately after taking it, he ended up in the ER, complaining of cardiac issues (severe arrhythmias and pain) and saying he felt like death. It wasn’t exactly a cardiac arrest, rather an “event”.

This is why Rails is a decent solution for many apps. It’s “Ruby everywhere” including the data layer.

We’re too afraid of violating some unwritten rule about reinventing the wheel. Or something.

I don’t really see the problem but at the same time I understand it’s not a perfect solution. I used to do geospatial work using ESRI products and Zip codes polygons are very useful because people use are often interested in things inside o

You joke, but this is not the worst idea.

Yea, I forgot to mention that this was in a Rails context. In any case this is only possible because of Ruby’s primitives-as-objects design.

I detect the slightest bit of sarcasm but then again it’s hard to read tone in random internet comments.

I’ve used date libraries from several languages and they’re all pretty awkward, but Ruby seems to have a very elegant solution thanks to the fact that primitives are also objects, so for example you can write things like 1.minute.ago or 1.d

OpenAI is also possibly in violation of many IP laws by scraping the entirety of the internet and using to train their models, so there’s that.
