They have an ad-free subscription thing https://arstechnica.com/store/product/subscriptions/ where all the features seem to amount to "we removed all the crap" which I think is sorta funny.

Still if you want to support what they do 25 bucks for the year seems reasonable.

I don't though. I run ublock and did not even know there were ads.

You can get real far with the Rust Playground https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

Even after reading the fine print there it still isnt clear to me if those are the most watched things BY netflix ON netflix, or if it is the most watched ON Netflix.

That also assumes that those charts actually reflect whatever metric they are based on.

There is probably some finger on the scale to keep things near the top and promote them longer if they are struggling to gain traction.

Yeah but that trade off is entirely separate.

We trade security for speed(or "velocity" if you want to be jargon about it).

I just pin everything and go through my projects every couple weeks and bump the deps (unless some really big CVE hits the news).

I've pretty much settled on poetry for most things at this point.

It still has a ton of rough edges like error messages still closer to a stack trace than something actionable and it's slow as hell resolving but it does the job 90 percent of the time without issue.

Also running everything in docker now anyway which side steps some other problems.

30% fuel savings on short haul trips less than whatever 60% of the standard range would be.

Honestly if you have older hardware, like a couple years old most of the most popular distros are pretty stable.

Ubuntu on hardware a few years old will chug along without issues more often than not especially if you are just using it as a glorified thin client for Chrome which is an increasingly large base of users.

There are of course some gotchas with things like integrated graphics and dedicated graphics in laptops or some device drivers for peripherals like printers (it is still linux after all, year of the linux desktop any year now aha)

Ublock on a PC and whatever replaced Vanced (ReVanced?) on android.

Have not figured out the smart tv yet.

It is so bad.

Outside of Go (I assume because it seems pretty popular there) the clients for other languages are so hit and miss.

I had to pipe a json into the python client to configure a grpc client (which seems bad) and it took me a while to dig up the correct incantation.

I like the "contract" that GRPC implies but I am not sure I would choose it again.

In what sense?

The repo linked here appears to have contributions merged in that last month and it has a bunch of active pull requests.

At this point I am curious how long Twitter could run with no one at the helm.

How long can the systems chug along with no one watching.

There is an ocean of distance between wanting to use all the cores on a CPU and spinning up (or paying for) the monster abstraction that is kubernetes.

Despite the others in this thread Jellyfin works fine for me basically out of the box.

I just run it in docker compose and there have not really been any issues.

Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th Gen running Linux (EndeavourOS)

15 years ago people were using PCs to surf the internet.

Now a huge portion of net traffic is mobile devices. Those are far more locked down. It is not as easy to install and use a new browser on IOS or Android devices.

People around here seem to forget that for a large number of internet users a phone or tablet is their primary interface.

I also have a Sony Smart TV.

It is ok but "highlighted content" are ads and I am quite sure Android TV is sending every bit of info it can harvest from anywhere to google.

These seem like cool tech and I know things like proxmox can run them pretty easily.

Still Dockerfiles and all the magic that goes with them was just so much easier to pick up and convince others on the team to try.

I am not sure I would agree with the assertion that config for HAProxy is just as easy.

In fact I use HAProxy in production pretty regularly because it is solid but its config one of the main reasons I would choose something else.

A basic HAProxy config is fine but it feels like after a little bit each line is just a collection of tokens in a random order that I have to sit and think about to parse.

Speaking of the watch, how large can the diving watch market segment be?

I am very curious if those diving watch features will drive enough purchases to cover their dev costs.

Maybe it is a bigger market segment than I think.

I like poetry. It still has a way to go though since it is slow as all hell doing almost anything and its error messages are closer to a stack trace than something actionable.

If you are using poetry you can add something to the pyproject.toml to handle the indexes, though I am not sure if they are ordered or not

[[tool.poetry.source]] name = "my-pypi" url = "https://my-pypi-index.wherever" secondary = true

Huh, it never would have crossed my mind they would do it only in Canada.

Odd.

If you use best buy's website it has the same problem as Amazon et al since it is a "marketplace" it is just the same sellers listing on both sites.

A lot of people make perfect the enemy of good.

"All other things being equal" is a massive qualification though.

The reason people like WFH often begins and ends at "No commute". If your commute is roughly an hour you get 2 hours of your day back instantly. Tough sell for come into the office when the options are "feeling part of something" vs getting 2 hours of the day back.

It helps that Valve is privately owned and thus less likely to chase growth over other things.

Hopefully when the current owners age out the new leadership will continue as it is.

Which was a stupid bet given the problems things like OnLive had.

They also had that bald dude out there doing tone def interviews talking like everyone has internet like the bay area and if they didn't then those customers didn't matter.

Further down in the article it says the following

"The Ottawa-based company will cut jobs in all its divisions, though most of the layoffs will occur in recruiting, support and sales units, said Mr. Lütke. “We’re also eliminating over-specialized and duplicate roles, as well as some groups that were convenient to have but too far removed from building products,” he wrote. Staff who are being let go will be notified on Tuesday."
