And then there are things like strcmp() that uses 0 as true. At least it is for a good reason, but still confusing.

The problem is that your whole family has to be not dumb enough.

Also the storage is the cost for the user, and google in the case of play store. So the developers have no incentive to reduce the size.

Yeah, that is just how youtube works. You as an individual can say you don’t like annoying thumbnails and titles, but they 100% work. And channels that don’t use them are just not getting as many viewers.

I just started skipping the first 1-2 pages of all ads, they usually just talk about what a fantastic company they are, etc. Just noise that no one is interested in, not even the ones lying about it.

At the end after all the fluff there is usually a description of what you are supposed to know and do. And if there isn’t, well I am not wasting my time with them.

Also, describing salary range seems very different in different countries

More often than not that is corporate speak for “we fired the old team and replaced them with cheaper workers. And we didn’t want to pay them to learn the old code/they tried but failed, so we are dumping features now”

Missed to change the legend to “North Canada” or just simply “Canada”

I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.

Has Golang fizzled? It has struck me as too primitive, but basically on the right track.

My biggest issue with Golang by far is the close tie to Google. They are not our friendly innovator, time and time again they make decisions that will help them earn more ad money, and nothing else. And they have a lobg history of releasing something and then never fix the issues with it, and then more or less abandon it.

Other than that there are afaik some other issues with go, I’m not an expert but from what I hear the GC is quite aggressive and you can’t tell it to run when you want. Doing something time sensitive? Well, bad luck. GC time!

Some like to keep their calendars clean, which should be their choice. There is already a setting for showing national holidays, they could just expand that

Eh, git is good but it is not like he invented source control. Before git there were subversion and before that CVS, along with a lot of others (mostly pay to use).

Git does some things really good and has become more or less the de-facto standard, it does other things not so good (like binary files). But it is not unique.

It sort if have to be. In the end there has to be one source of truth for each TLD, otherwise who is to say who owns foo.com, and what it resolves to?

And then the same structure for assigning TLD ownership.

But there is nothing stopping you from running another DNS service, call it DNS2 with different root servers, etc. It is just going to be extemely hard to convince people to use it.

I never recline my seat, but if I was sitting infront of that guy I would move it down for a bit. Then up again. Then down again. Etc for however long the flight is

Good advice.

Also, work on your form and not to increase weights. So many are doing some weird sort of back swing exercise when doing curls for, example

It was probably used for spam in the past, so they added a rule to trash all links to that domain.

I don’t mind it either, they need some way to finance the development. However I wish they would make packs of older DLCs and sell those cheaper.

For example in Europa Universalis IV you need a whole bunch of DLC, and buying seven 5 year old DLCs for full price is just not very appealing. Sure, you can try and wait for sales but they are not always available when you want to get them.

No, the main point of standing desk is that whoever has one talks about them all day, every day. At least, that was my experience 10-15 years ago, which was the last time I spent in an office.

Subscription based teeth?

The most popular streamers aren’t popular because they are good at games, it’s because they are entertaining.

Exactly, that is my point. I just don’t think they are entertaining though, which is fine. There are lot of tv shows and movies I don’t like either.

Not sure what you mean with commentators. But even if I don’t particularly enjoy a certain sport, I can see if someone is talented at it and appreciate their effort they put into it. But most likely I still won’t watch much of it. There is so much content, I see no point in seeing anything I don’t enjoy.

I like some sports, but can’t stand game streamers. Athletes train for years to become the best in their sport/position/etc, streamers are usually mediocre at the games at best. I rather just play the game myself. Much more of a personality cult around streamers, and I have no interest in.

But well, people are different. If some people enjoy it, go ahead just explaining from another point of view why I don’t like it
