Netflix is way overfitted on short-term money like that, to make up for the fact that they have an extremely tiny library.

by tomjen3 1mo ago
Netflix is misassigned as a technology company, they are primarily a media company. They are FANG, so they have some of the best engineers, and they need something to do. Netflix also hit the problem of now having so many users that they ca

Yeah, I remember. I also remember it automatically blocking popup ads. That was a huge deal.

There are good solid reasons why Manifest v3 is preferable for most extensions. The issue is that adblocking doesn't work with it, so an addition, or workaround should be made, but when Google has the amount of influence they have, tha

Florence Nightingale had a permanent subsidy from her very wealthy father. (Essentially IBI). She chose to do something with her life. But there were thousands of times the number of people with wealthy parents than there are famous people.

Thank you. That was emotional, which is funny because it was a decade before I was.

This model is European. There are quite a lot of instances where under GDPR, you have the right to have incorrect information about you corrected. I also think you have the right to appeal a decision to a human (I got that message from Redd

There's a world of a difference between being required to censor something by an entity outside of you and being able to censor something of your own and it's not just theoretical. Wanna run your own forum dedicated to Bluey? This

Where is the fbi in this? Why has no one been arrested? This is a massive crime.

As someone else who is an IT consultant. You need to run away from any client who thinks your primary purpose is to write code. You must run away from the business if YOU think your primary purpose is to write code. You should be able to wr

Do grocery stores sell them? If so, people buy them. Do they add more choices over time? If so, they sell well.

There are probably quite a few others who consider that a bonus. I'm not going to support illegal actions, but it's also not one of the things I would really lose sleep over if I found out that it have been doing that.

Probably because doing so would mean a lot fewer product categories. It's a trade-off, to be sure. But if you need that odd thing — a screw of a certain type, a power supply that's 56 volt DC or whatever — then if there's onl

I think that is probably too conspiratorial, if only for the reason that Europe is not gonna go along with it. I work in tech in Europe and we have a fair number of customers who arelike. we can accept AI, but they must keep the data in Eur

We have come to a consensus. That is, A, you use the raw input right up till the very last second that you can and B you use the technology specific escaping APIs. In the case of writing to the DOM, that means you use .innerText rather than

I am curious what is your write pattern? How long do you keep the transactions open for? There are definitely cases where a single lock does not fit. Even though you can only write one at a time, the transactions ideally should be open for

Lifting mens rea on that is going to be... interesting.

Use WAL (yes this should be the default, or at least explained much better) and you can have one writer, many readers. Don't move to the network unless you have to - every single request gets massively slowed down because it has replac

I am biased but I think if they really believed what they were saying, they would be a lot more humble about it. I suspect what happened is the classic problem: you were sincere, then someone showed you a pile of money bigger than you could

Go does not give you control. Much of the speed comes from choosing the right algorithms - including memory management. In Go you have GC, you don't have that in Zig. Linked lists are a lot less slow if you use Arena allocation around

by tomjen3 4mo ago
Control. Its a replacement for C that is a lot nicer to work with. So basically if you either need your Python code to interact with a native library or need more control in a specific place, you can use Zig there. Zig makes it trivial to c

by tomjen3 4mo ago
You can discard a variable like so: _ = variable_to_discard I am sorta unsure why Zig doesn't have multiline comments, but its also not at version 1 yet, so that will likely come, along with better IDE support.

That is interesting. And it's an AI critique I haven't heard before. Would you consider it possible that the way non-intentionally placed items break the game immersion for you is because they appear in such a way that you think y

Project Gutenberg is awesome and amazing. I was visting the ruins of a monestary the other day, and one of the texts listed that it had a library of 320ish books. I chucked because I have almost 200 books in my personal Kindle library, but

Its meaningless to decriminalize using it, since it does not give big benefit of replacing narco terrorists producers with pure, controlled stuff from legal pharma companies. The world is obviously better of without drugs, but given that is

How many died because they were cut of from the supply that they had been told by doctors did not cause addiction?

It certainly involved a lot of skill and expense, but how many more lives could be saved if the same money had been spent on improved traffic safety or NHS in general?
