Because it provides a different perspective, figuratively. I think that might also be a reason why HFR movies feel weird for some people, it's very much a comfort zone.

Not implementing DHCPv6 is not "inconsistent" it's from the start a thing you should NOT rely on existing.

I think people that have taken personal offense using IPv6 or when people are suggesting that IPv6 should be used instead, have stymied IPv6 adoption. It's not the opposing side's fault if your solution is practically infeasible a

Well one thing is a "pause" in production, another one is total and final cancellation. Has any of the NF titles been resurrected yet?

It very very likely messes up the magnetometer or even breaks it completely (I've managed that myself).

People looking at data often ignore that every user uses a specific subset of the total subset of features or content. Just as a simplistic example, user set A wants content `x` and `y`, user set B wants content `y` and `z` - data shows tha

If things like Star Trek were canceled season three, it'd never have reached such masses, it was a niche show at start but now there's even actual new generations watching The Next Generation. Long term decisions are hard, but if

It goes into the same category as criticizing C's memory safety. The errors do say a lot about the tech being prone of misuse, and that's not really a good thing.

They're "Spotify premium" ads though.

On free version, it also adds somewhat random "recommended songs" to an album playlist.

With the music playlists I just really really want a button that would mark certain songs as "I like them, but not so often". Disliking makes certain artists and styles fall totally out of my playlists, not disliking makes it repe

You need to counter-train the algorithm to get useful results out of it basically. Keep ignoring those videos, mark them as boring, refresh the page, etc. do content discovery the old-timey way.

They do have schizophrenic A/B testing though. Just recently they started playing the exact same ads but sometimes they have a few syllables messed up. I think I now have first-hand experience in being gaslit, it really makes you doubt

I don't think it's the ratios like 1/20 to 1/40 that are the cause, it's children in those classes. There was a HN thread about magnet/gifted schools and how they made a night-and-day difference in terms of qua

Somewhat. If the gifted kids can socialize among themselves then that certainly is more beneficial. In theory it'd be nice to only interact with people like oneself but I don't see that happening, learning how to interact with oth

The sage-on-a-stage also comes with socializing both during and after lessons, that can't be replaced with computers. If anything, I think it'd cause a lot more sadness than the current system.

I have exactly the same experience as the previous commenters, I was also basically rescued into a (learning-)conducive environment and I'm seriously thankful for that. The alternative would've very likely been awful because I&#x2

Try debugging CORS, CSP or SRI failures in FF. Much much more painful.

What if the dev just publishes an update that removes the flashlight functionality? It isn't malware, it just doesn't work. I don't think you could sue the dev and win.

You started the thread by saying that if you used a library that is broken by the maintainer you would call that malice. Things being broken is directly related to bugs and maintenance - detecting if and how a breakage is malice is the firs

I don't know how you believe laws work or what you hope to discuss but the reality is that in the case of software, laws offer deterrence and recourse to any malicious actions. It's absolutely stupid to take a repository by an ano

The refund for the amount you paid for the library is on its way. Once again I'm reminded about that sentence someone once said. With random open-source libraries you're dealing with something someone else put out there just becau
