I think it's difficult to just call things "self control" when there have been entire college majors / studies / casinos dedicated to tricking us into making the choices they want. Look at the Apple price ladder on

They have a cancellation rate metric on their end that they are trying to avoid. I have similar problems when I dated someone across the bridge. They also lose a ton of money leaving SF at prime time / etc.

Most of them are used as cargo planes. Which have dramatically lower usage rates than passenger planes (and they are retired passenger planes) Sucks for the pilots flying them for sure tho.

Advertising isn’t “individual liberty” — it’s paid psychological manipulation. Banning gambling ads isn’t banning gambling. It’s just stopping corporations from pushing addictive behavior on people who didn’t consent to see it. We banned ci

Technically it's possible. We did do inlaid server-side ads that way for a while. IT just takes an excessive amount of work. The real solution is just the full support of ASS/TTML/VTT subtitles on all platforms. Usually smar

Guess how well supported soft subs are on smartTVs etc? :) It's really tough when you need to scale these things across 20 platforms.

I worked at crunchyroll. Keeping the "hard subs" content is a lot of videos as the subtitles were encoded into the video stream. This makes CDNs and other systems more difficult to utilize because we have a ton of video streams wi

I think about this a lot. MVC was the gold standard of laying out frontends at some point. I don't think it really bought us much. I think the selling point on react was the composability of models and views and controllers. If you ca

Having worked a long time with client teams as a lead - this is always the biggest pain in the ass. At one of my last phase startups I started shifting all our business logic stuff into our graphql server and treated it like it was part of

I’ve used Ethernet over coax in my current apartment. It’s worked well! You do need to be a bit careful as coax signal can be shared with neighbors and others sometimes.

I was a developer for Carrier apps. It was by far the best mobile developer experience by a landslide. Really staked my career on it because of that. Whoops. Wasn't until react launched that I felt there was finally a better system f
