I have a video speed extension for Safari that lets you skip YouTube ads, too: https://dynamoformac.com/ It makes around $1000 a month, depending mostly on its position in relevant search results.

Gosh, is it now so de mode to do something just for the fun?

For Safari there’s Dynamo, too, that lets you skip ads apart from changing the speed: https://dynamoformac.com/ (I am the author.)

We used to pay for Vimeo and were happy about it, but then the service got slower and the UI more cluttered and we were constantly nagged to move to a higher plan. Also, even with the paid plan there was a quite low weekly upload quota (5 G

The new Safari tabs are so bad that I’m sure they can’t stay that way for long. I was hoping I would get used to the broken active tab highlighting, but after a few days I’m still clicking the wrong tabs in the tab bar. I can’t believe it.

FWIW, I have the same experience as the parent poster. I used to love Elm, evangelized the architecture, wanted to write Elm professionally. I was constantly bumping into things that were not finished or working, but didn’t really mind. But

Also the prevention paradox—the success is invisible. It’s much easier to justify investments when the maladies are already visible.

In Europe we often have public service media, paid for by the public. Here in the Czech Republic the public service media is not perfect (what is?), but they do a very good job. (Which is also why they are under constant attacks by politici

That was bad journalism. Would you also stop trusting all doctors after meeting a bad one?

This can be easily seen in action when playing audio over AirPlay where the latency is ~2 seconds. When you press Play the video waits for a moment to compensate for the audio delay and only starts after the two-second delay to sync with au

It's easy to create an object that pretends to be a function; it's harder to make a function retain state later. I read that as an argument in favour of functions. Implicit state is pain. Making state explicit is a great advanta

Last thing we needed was a simple unsubscribe service for a database hosted on AirTable, a few lines of code. It totally makes sense to me to host such glue on Now.

For me as a noob with very simple requirements, it’s very refreshing not having to care where and how my server code runs. Just add to a repo, push and forget. And if my code is written against some simple HTTP request interface, there sh

Thank God for Unicode aware terminals! And with the emoji-heavy command-line tooling of today (yarn for example) I think terminals simply have to support extended grapheme clusters or face issues all the time.

A 1000 person test case was ran in isolation and they found this disease to not be very deathly, and this population was skewed toward the elderly. The mortality seems to be caused primarily by healthcare overload so far. In about 10 % ca

Either way, journalism is (used to be?) a credibility business. Imagine trying to apply the same standard to social networks.

I think the problem is not that the opposing views exist, but that the modern distribution channels make it very easy to serve to each his own. The result is not a productive (even if heated) debate in search of truth, but pools of opposing
