wolco2··on Twitch suspends DragonForce guitarist Herman Li for playing his own music
If he leaves the platform they end up paying some ad revenue / membership fees back from what they would normally get.

Let me guess.. hp?
wolco2··on Oracle Moving HQ to Austin
This isn't true. The move to the open office was NOT because of a city tax on the number of private offices. For this to be remotely true someone would need to audit each building / floor.

Could you point to a government website with additional information?

wolco2··on Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
I'm surprised you would find that novel.

Yes alcohol should be avoided if pregnant. Smoking as well. Cat litterboxes can pose a risk.

Many other products are removed because of unknown risks.

wolco2··on Sales tax creates more unnecessary pain than value added tax
I hate going to the store. And a store has only a few brands.. I have to drive around to compare prices.

With covid most of us are online this year.

A socialist or communist society kinda works a little differently at least in eastern europe. Depending on how close or connected you are to the party leadership you get an apartment you throw as many parties if anyone disagrees they get thrown in jail. If someone more important complains you get thrown in jail.

Your view sounds more republican. All of the home owners create a gated community with rules. Those who break the rules are kicked out.

I got into php in the very beginning. Kept learning everything else but found the limitations a fun challenge and being able to rapidly produce something kind of works with my matra of wanting to do a bit of everything.

I started with C/C++ so php was natural fit.

A good question would be if starting out today what language would I pick?

I'm tempted to pick php but I would probably go for react. The market is huge career-wise, the language is fun to develop in and the community is strong.

You don't own the sidewalk. If a foodcart pulled up and your office cafe started to lose money many would suggest they offer better products or prices.

Those noisey parties happen at my neighbours house all of the time. It's the price of living in a city.

The show us and ask us sections are more positive with helpful comments. The main page is more negative but often brings up cold truths.

I have 20 years+ experience. It doesn't have to be like this.

I know exactly what happened. Changing languages and domains every few years can wear you out. If you were lucky enough to pick one language that madw it 20 years you can spend your time deep diving different domains. Bonus if the language becomes unpopular with developers but still need with business. Bonus points for picking a fun language you like.

A real pain is leetcode.

Does this work with pop?
wolco2··on YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
Those are my words. You do not need evidence to form a belief.

But you need one to change hearts and minds.

wolco2··on Elon Musk moves to Texas
This is true. Even in big cities with large gay populations the reason why gay villages aros is because of safety. Now gay areas are disappearing from big cities because satefy is less of an issue and acceptance is much more widespread in society.

You don't need evidence to form a belief but you do need it if you want others to believe you.

If Alex moves to another platform wouldn't part of his following move to this platform? Wouldn't that grow others in that new platform.

Isn't deplatforming just replatforming. With every deplatform doesn't it leak more users to the new platform.

If they deplatform them one day it could be you.

Because this publically traded company (not private) invites the public to view and share content. Now the public is voicing concern over who they are censoring.

If Google doesn't like it they are free to shutdown the service.

They didn't count app/twitter or other views. So you are measuring two different datasets.

Alex Jones seems more prominent now after the deplatforming.

Banning on platforms for whatever reason reduces the platforms reach and raises the platform the party moves too.

We use to separate people by race now we do it by idea. Now sure martin luther king or lennon would agree.

wolco2··on Cloudflare’s privacy-first Web Analytics is now available for everyone
A move away from google to a new private entity offering seemingly friendly service? That reminds me of why I installed Google Analytics in the first place.

What's the point?

You could go with good log parsing programs like awstats.

wolco2··on 80% of musicians earn less than £200 a year from streaming
80% of the music you listen to which is probably part of the 20% most popular content.

If you had better discovery you might find something in those under used 80%.

wolco2··on Why I Love Tailwind
If you write using random style tags everywhere the next time you want to change all h1s you have to go file by file.

Some people say sure but when are you ever going to change a style? Surprisely more often than hunting every h1

You sound like someone who is at the beginning of the learning curve. Nothing wrong with that but don't be so hostile.

People used tables for positioning and as containers. More data was present compared to whitespace and mobile reduced sites.

People had different screensizes back than. How do you deal with that? You take a 3x3 cell. You cut a picture into 9 slices. You take the top, left, right and bottom images and make them a background at 100% width (top/bottom) or height.

That is the basics of a simple flexibile container.

In fairness those pages offered more content per square inch than modern whitespace centric design.
wolco2··on How I Collected a Debt from an Unscrupulous Merchant
20% is rarely 20%. Most affilates have to reach a minimum and 90% never do. The small % who do are worth the 20%.

You trying to cut them out. I don't think it's in the sites best interest to offer people like you (cookie killers),a discount. If the affilates find out and they feel cheated they will move on.

Remember the affilate never gives one person at 20% (if they do they never hit their minimum) they give dozen/hundreds/thousands of customers.

wolco2··on How does Brown University know where you are?
I wouldn't call Brown students the future elite. till the middle management of the future should beware.
