The limitation mentioned about not being able to access localhost outside of your home wifi is easily solved with a dynamic DNS. I use DuckDns to be able to access "localhost" when I'm away.

It’s a crime that they set the default to shuffle in the first place. I can never understand how a company that doesn’t understand music came to be the largest music platform

Just a couple things to note, which make this far from being a case against masking, or mask mandates: - The data is from one county in CA ... - ... for the time period June 3 - June 25, about 3 weeks - Neighboring counties did not have mas

Try out a tool called Gatling. That's my favorite. But I'll settle for JMeter.

I do subscribe to podcasts using Apple Podcasts but I use the "mark all as played" to regularly defeat the automatic queue in it. I miss the days when podcasts were just posted like blog entries and you could conglomerate them all

This is just muddy thinking and hand waving. “Pay in the private sector” is not based on accomplishing goals at all. If it were, there wouldn’t be a huge disparity between men and women, or between those who live in Kansas City vs those who

My favorite guide on this is https://phauer.com/2018/code-review-guidelines/ There are also some great things in the book, Debugging Teams, like the Humility-Respect-Trust (HRT) concept.

The Epoch Times isn’t just a “source” that some people don’t want to see. And gmail etc has a shit ton of ads. This comment isn’t a reasonable critique of the article it’s denialism at best

I didn’t even know about some of the things that the author went over in this article, but it’s undeniable that power-mad mods have ruined anything I ever enjoyed about Reddit over the past ten years. And that there seem to no longer be man

I actually agree with this. There are a bunch of low-cost ways to prototype and collect user feedback. The paper notebook idea could have started with surveying people and finding if anyone actually existed who say it would be useful and th

One way to look at it is as an opportunity for someone to come in with a third-party app that gives you a valuable YouTube feed. Personally I don’t use the YT feed and never have. I just watch videos from channels I subscribe to

There's two separate things: 1. The "music industry" which is a carefully controlled mafia of an elite few, yet which consumes as much oxygen as possible in popular media. 2. Every other musician and artist. The best thing yo

> This take seems very slanted towards new CD sales. Yeah, because the articles that it's commenting on are about the supposed "increase in sales" of CDs this past year. Which only includes releases in 2021.

This was a great read. I think the biggest takeaway I had was how some banks and credit card companies themselves are not doing a great job at building trustworthy systems. That leads consumers into treating things that seem gray, like conf
