  • Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store

    Jump

  • If it free, there is an incentive to release quantity and not quality, it could become a spam problem. I am all for having a lower percentage though, but 0 could be a problem.

  • Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI | The Verge

    Jump

  • Well it makes sense if you think about it.

    You invest a million dollar in 100 companies, 95 fail, 4 makes 10 million each. If the last one hits at least 60 million you are even, anything above is pure profit. Basically just throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks.

  • 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached?

    Jump

  • Personally I think mandatory voting is a bad idea. It will not make then suddenly care, they will just vote for lolrolfcopter party.

    The US does a lot of bad things around voting, but it being on a workday is probably the biggest hurdle. Most other countries have it on a weekend or holiday. That means that most people can go vote and not have to chose between potentially getting fired and vote. Which, to no surprise mostly affects lower income voters.

    Also combined with the witch hunt on mail in voting makes it very hard for lower income people to vote. Which is by design.

  • Or even worse, password field doesn't work with paste.

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • Yepp. Started using Debian around the Ham/Slink releases, haven't found any reason to change yet.

  • Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up

    Jump

  • It says "could" not "will", so they will just never implement that part.

  • And they are laughing at their victims

  • Still nicer than people that smoke at home

  • Europe’s GDPR privacy law is headed for red tape bonfire within ‘weeks’

    Jump

  • The funny thing is that the cookie warning only applies to tracking cookies, for stuff like session cookies you do not need it.

    But it is always easier to just nag the user too many times than to risk something, so everyone just adds the warning anyway.

    Also, IANAL so don't trust me!

  • I'm an Emacs developer

    Jump

  • Re-binding caps lock is such a nice thing. I am a Perl programmer (yes, really), though not in emacs (vim all the way!)

    I changed caps locks to $ and @ with shift decades ago. Especially since in my native layout they are awkward to reach.

  • that's true

    Jump

  • And then there are things like strcmp() that uses 0 as true. At least it is for a good reason, but still confusing.

  • Millions of people’s DNA up for sale as 23andMe goes bankrupt

    Jump

  • The problem is that your whole family has to be not dumb enough.

  • Why indeed

    Jump

  • Also the storage is the cost for the user, and google in the case of play store. So the developers have no incentive to reduce the size.

  • Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch

    Jump

  • Yeah, that is just how youtube works. You as an individual can say you don't like annoying thumbnails and titles, but they 100% work. And channels that don't use them are just not getting as many viewers.

  • Guide to software developer job advertisements

    Jump

  • I just started skipping the first 1-2 pages of all ads, they usually just talk about what a fantastic company they are, etc. Just noise that no one is interested in, not even the ones lying about it.

    At the end after all the fluff there is usually a description of what you are supposed to know and do. And if there isn't, well I am not wasting my time with them.

    Also, describing salary range seems very different in different countries

  • Plex is discontinuing its “watch together” feature

    Jump

  • More often than not that is corporate speak for "we fired the old team and replaced them with cheaper workers. And we didn't want to pay them to learn the old code/they tried but failed, so we are dumping features now"

  • Removed

    Just Because

    Jump

  • Missed to change the legend to "North Canada" or just simply "Canada"

  • Whats the most rewatchable TV series of all time?

    Jump

  • I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.

  • Rust is Eating JavaScript

  • Has Golang fizzled? It has struck me as too primitive, but basically on the right track.

    My biggest issue with Golang by far is the close tie to Google. They are not our friendly innovator, time and time again they make decisions that will help them earn more ad money, and nothing else. And they have a lobg history of releasing something and then never fix the issues with it, and then more or less abandon it.

    Other than that there are afaik some other issues with go, I'm not an expert but from what I hear the GC is quite aggressive and you can't tell it to run when you want. Doing something time sensitive? Well, bad luck. GC time!
