Yep. Sitting down and reading is an enjoyable thing for me. I’m not trying to hoover up every headline.

My original post is about why RSS didn’t take off. My second post is also about why RSS didn’t take off. Together they present an angle from both the provider and consumer sides with the greater point that Google didn’t kill RSS — rather, t

Well I don’t think there is any audience because very few sites had/have any decent RSS feeds. Well except maybe tech sites, but most people are not into tech sites.

OP here - I have a desktop RSS reader and I do not subscribe to feeds that only have abstracts. I much rather just go to the site personally. If every feed had just abstracts then I probably wouldn’t even bother with an RSS readers. I’m tec

Ah yes, most people running sites are rolling in dough, especially journalism…

I don’t think RSS ever had a chance. I ran a site in high school and it was making bank from ads. Why would I provide a feed that earned me no money?

As someone using cloud storage, the only answer is the amount I pay for. I pay for one year with Backblaze (on the cheaper plan, it’s much shorter but they’re explicit about it) and I expect one year and they hold themselves to that one yea

I know I've seen videos of animals where I thought "damn, this one must be above the bell curve." And you know, there are individual humans vastly smarter than us so I figure there gotta be the same in the animal kingdom too.

I also disagree. Sure, there are still hard problems, but for the most part, I think it's pretty easy. People from past jobs tell me my work is super straightforward so I don't think I'm tripping. Even the other things like w

Based on the article alone, the CEO’s comment sounds reasonable tbh. I’m pretty gay and I definitely think some people get offended too easily. You know, I care if you are for me or against me more than anything you say. That said, I think

I know OP already responded but people who are smart, kind, and are down to earth are special. You have to keep them close, and it’s pure bliss if you find a company filled with them. It’s life goals to be smart, kind, and down to earth. It

I am consistently in areas with zero cellular service and I’m reasonably sure Google Maps will route offline. At least, I’ve never switched to another mapping app because I couldn’t route — it’s more usually because Google Maps is more prim

Amazon didn’t make the coffee machine. That’s like I saying I approved of my Samsung fridge shitting the bed. No, Samsung did that. I just bought it.

Cloud makes provisioning more servers quicker because you are paying someone to basically have a bunch of servers ready to go right away with an API call instead of a phone call, maintained by a team that isn’t yours, with economies of scal

Often times it’s the app (or something high level) that would need speculative requests, which it may not be possible in the given domain. I don’t think it’s possible in most domains.

Well if my day job is building stuff and it’s the reason I picked this career and it seems companies pay $$$$, give great benefits, and lets me take 2-4+ week vacations wherever I want if I’m good at it, and going to work is great because e

The problem is that most people have never actually built something in all the architectures they are considering. They just read blog posts of what to do. As an analogy, I’ve manufactured a lot of stuff out of wood, concrete, plastic (3D p

Many plants can grow in pretty any much substrate — even just water — as well. The main issue, assuming the temperature is right, that stunts plant growth just anywhere is that usually there is not enough consistent water, and then eventual

What you’re saying is true but being able to talk and convince people gets you wayyy further than any other method.

Obviously Russia borders Europe. How do you do a land invasion of Europe without bordering Europe? But Russia isn’t Germany whose borders are completely dominated by Europe. Putin obviously thinks Russia should still be a superpower. People

Elsewhere too I first took stats in high school and we read a bunch of valid small sample size studies so I don’t know where people are failing to get educated. There were so many factors going into whether a study was good.

Russia is a gigantic country with vast resources that isn’t bordered by Europe, and more than once it was a superpower and it was a superpower against another gigantic country. On the other hand, Europe consists of small countries trying to

From Apple’s PoV, PWAs don’t earn them any money, aren’t forced through review by Apple, and decrease lock-in. There is no incentive for Apple to support PWAs.

You’re both right. Nokia nailed it. But then someone else invented the steam engine. Hard to go back to horses.

Because it's neither. It's like wherever you are from -- there are some diehard racists, a lot of people who are vehemently not racist, but everyone else is just going with the flow.

People start using React as part of a larger framework or existing app and they associate all these unrelated things to React. Also, the poster says this line: > Finding a dev who actually groks the gap between useEffect and useMemo, err
