Sometimes you can. But there are also shows where the only (legal) way to watch it is on a particular streaming platform where it is "exclusive".

Not quite the same. Cable had regional monopolies due to the high barrier of entry and economies of scale (building cable infrastructure). There is still some economy of scale for streaming platforms, but if you get rid of exclusive content

by thayne 11mo ago
I want a separation between the streaming platform companies and the content making companies, so that the streaming companies can compete on making a better platform/service and the content companies compete on making better content.

Personally, I think a better alternative to tariffs would be to require make regulatory requirements for labor, environmental concerns, etc. for the production of any goods sold in the US. Or maybe have tariffs, but companies can opt in to

Performing well academically is not at all mutually exclusive with ADHD or Autism. In fact, it is possible for those to manifest in ways that benefit academic performance. It also isn't really surprising that students in a highly compe

It isn't necessarily that they have information the public doesn't (although it could be that, they would know about policy changes before the general public does). It could also be that they use their leadership position to push

One limitation of protobuf 3 schemas, is they doen't allow required fields. That makes it easier to remove the field in a later version in a backwards compatible way, but sometimes fields really are required, and the message doesn&#x27

It depends on what your data looks like. If your content is mostly UTF-8 text, with dynamic keys, then I wouldn't expect protobuf to have much of an advantage over JSON for parsing to an equivalent structure. On the other hand, if you

That would make sense, since they would then need support for JXL for the embedded PDF viewer anyway. Unless they want it to choke on valid PDFs that include JXL images.

Cloudflare has native integration with Let's encrypt, which makes using TLS with a CDN much easier than if you had to acquire the ACME cert and deploy it to the CDN yourself. Granted, most CDNs these days have some form of free certica

The UI is fast, but it can be difficult to navigate, at least if you aren't familiar with it. In particular, unless it is explicitly mentioned in the README, it isn't at all clear how to report a bug, or submit a patch, or view re

Well you need root access, or at least the CAP_NET_RAW capability to use raw sockets. UDP seems pretty bad though.

Also cases where a GET makes more sense, but there is concern about sensitive data in query parameters getting exposed in logs, so POST is used instead.

Setting a capability on the perl executable seems like a very bad idea. That effectively grants tha capability to everything that is able to invoke perl (without being restricted to NO_NEW_PRIVILEGES).

I hadn't heard of that before but it looks like it solves a lot of my complaints about markdown. I hope it gains more momentum.
