- > the vast majority of Web scraping efforts are to build businesses on top of other organizations hard work and innovation. Period. End of story.
Yeah and the vast majority of the internet and all these mega corps run on open source while paying pittance back to the ecosystem. Cry me a fuckin river.
Can't wait til someone sue's them for "scraping" their site for web previews and thumbnails everytime someone shares a link on Facebook.
The double standard of these muppets.
- Profattip Linus Tech tips clothing line has awesome fat people sizing and the stuff fits well too.
- > I'd have still been paying £50/domain or £150/wildcard root domain cert per year.
For vapourware. SSL certs should never have ever cost anything. They've always been a scam.
- We got juiced by PE. Hiring went to absolute shit. Nobody knows whos in charge anymore. Decision makers have all left the company. I just make everything up as I go along and people go with it because I've been around so long nobody will question it.
Total shit show.
- Not being able to run delete commands is a bit more than a limitation no matter what way you want to spin it.
- Intel does a fair bit of exclusivity deals to prevent vendors from making certain pairings. It also didn't help that amd mobile CPUs were budget options for a long time. Manufacturers haven't caught on to the demand yet really.
- It also leads to overengineered framework code that only exists to support the glue code that is now required to pull distant code together.
Increasing the distance between inputs and outputs increases complexity.
Reusable code isn't all that reausable when nobody understands it or things are so fragmented people can't figure out how to operate the code base.
This isn't a rule. It's a moderation thing.
- aka
Abstractions have non zero complexity costs.
And
Repeated code has non zero complexity costs
Why is this a hard concept?
It doesn't make dry any less valid.
Generally you can invoke both reasons to do something but the underlying reasoning is always complexity.
- I think author is making the point that it always was interchangeable and that we've been over treating it as if it's always a disease.
- We have our own datacentres. Lucky enough to have got them up and running pre cloud era. If we were any later we would be full cloud but the reality is we outcompete everyone on price in our space because of it.
- Thanks. Almost felt guilty for a second there.
- > Why must I say no to this every time I open the app?
It's a custom nudge. It's shown by the Spotify app. Clicking on the CTA takes you to the settings page or something.
- I don't think I've checked permissions on the play store in ages. Don't apps prompt when they access things now?
Speaking of which, anyone from Spotify around?
Could you kindly take your request for control over Bluetooth and shove it up your fuckin arse?
Why must I say no to this every time I open the app?
No means no.
- I don't know what twitter you've been reading but I wouldn't call what I see "knowledge".
- > I'd say they're advocating giving women the opportunity to save their own lives and/or prevent enormous suffering among babies with debilitating/life-threatening conditions.
Overturning Roe v Wade doesn't change anything related to these types of abortions. It only allows states to make up their own laws. Most of which won't change from what it is now and most of which only ban elective abortion.
- > belongs to the state?
Oh please. Cool it with the strawman arguments. It's boring.
They aren't owned by the state. They simply can't kill the human growing inside them. That's it, that's all it is.
We don't need to drop to analogies and hyperbole, we have the language to describe what is happening. A woman, in most instances, chooses to have a baby grow inside of them. But regardless of how it got there, at a certain point that baby deserves human rights.
That point is all that's up for debate. At what point does a baby become a human with rights to life.
One side argues birth, one side argues conception. The vast majority decided viability 22 weeks (disturbing imo but neither here nor there).
My human right to free speech stops at the point it harms someone else.
I don't see why these rights would be any bloody different.
If you want to debate this issue you need to be willing to define when a baby becomes a human, because THAT is the only thing being debated here.
- Avoid non programming jobs. Do whatever it takes to get a job coding, even it's just website building.
Any kind of support role will signal future employers that your not a good programmer.
I got my first job on around interview 10 after sending my cv and tailored to each job cover letter to over 100 job ads and places I wanted to work. (Just because ethey don't have an ad up doesn't mean they're not hiring people interested in the company)
- Yea that's probably fair. I dont really think we should be looking to criminalise pregnancy losses.
At the same time I think it was a bit of a suspect situation. It's pretty rare to end up with a full term baby dead in the toilet.
- > Stillbirth
That's not in the article.
> but I see no evidence mentioned that she followed through on the purchase
This article is about abortion rights. I think it's fair game to call a 35 week abortion what it is.
> women are reduced to birthing vessels
There isn't some conspiracy to turn women into birthing vessels. The only thing under debate is at what age a baby becomes a legal person afforded rights to life and at what age a women loses her right to end that life.
- I'd hardly call a regular trip to give blood "medieval".
They're not giving out leeches.
- Higher mobile usage in Africa.
- > The only reason anyone cares about pollution is because it endangers human life.
This is simply not true. There are many people who view humans like a plague or a cancer. That matrix line didn't come from nowhere.
These people don't stop to think their feelings through to a conclusion.
They don't even realise it but when you view humanity that way you're essentially advocating for genocide.
> I'm sure it is, if you only focus on the pleasantries.
You can see beauty in all forms of life. It doesn't have to be a pleasantry.
Part of what gives humananity its beauty is its complexity and contradictions. All that yin and yang stuff. You don't have the good without the bad.
- I don't get it. What's the problem?
Docker is more than just application containerization, it also lets you infra as code to some degree. You can specify where and how files are organised. It turns a git repo into something consistently runnable with the same commands as every other repo you may maintain.
There's value in that.
This is just gatekeeping.
- > They always blow when you switch the lights on.
This isn't true at all.
- Excuse you. NZ and Pacific islands had it the worst.
Aussie sun is a joke compared to NZ sun.
- That sounds amazingly slow, in a good way.
- I don't blame em. Tech has always thought of itself as a bunch of snowflakes.
Reality is, yes, it's a new industry, but no, it's not special.
Every other industry I've been exposed to has all the same bullshit office politics. The same supposed "in jokes" that only "their industry" would understand.
Lots of things can be done while aimlessly walking.
