No I really enjoy it being dark at 4pm. /s
Communism is when I don’t have to work, and also “the West TM” bad. /s
I wouldn’t really mind a smaller pool of videos, if it’s guaranteed to have a standard of quality.
I’d even pay for YouTube if they offered such a service, where they curate their creators. E.g. I sometimes like to watch repair channels where someone tinkers with something. I have a handful of channels that I like for that… but what if there are many more that I just can’t find?
First reddit didn’t go down, despite having an user base which had some kind of a brain.
While YouTube has everyone as users. Even like the most normie, boomer, zoomer users that think YouTube is the internet. No way they are going to switch for ideological reasons, unless the app just stops working.
You get ads for actually real products? Literally the only ad for a real thing that is available to me was about a cleaning company for house fassades… but I don’t have a house. Everything else is stupid games or apps, or porn or straight up scams.
Yeah it’s horrible. For it to somehow be worth watching with ads, the ads had to be for a legitimate and relevant product, and the algorithm / video quality had to be much better.
The ads are just extremely bad in general. Betting ads for a legitimate casino would already be a huge step up form the shit I get…
Or the people upload only things where they look like they are winning?
I think the issue with this is that posts from other instances would have a huge delay. Basically the mods would have to appove EVERY single post.
I think we are actually saying the same thing though…? Tests should really only ensure functionality. It should be the language’s job to help you with obvious implementation errors (such as using a wrong value type).
My point was that without a type system you need an impossible 100% code coverage, to be sure that you didn’t accidentally mess up some variable assignment or parameter somewhere, since you have nothings to easily and automatically catch those errors.
A quick check everytime when you build / package the code is surely more effective than a human code review.
Also the difficulty of coding in a language where there isn’t any static type analysis still remains. How does it even work, do you have to do a manual text search everytime you change some existing function or class?
The trivial problem here being knowing what kinda of parameter some random function somewhere in your code expects… And your code not randomly breaking in production when someone changes that function after you already used it, unless you wrote unit tests that literally test every single line of code.
I mean, if you are a designer that needs it but doesn’t know how to download and crack stuff, 12$ might be worth that time.
That’s exactly the problem. You need learn how to game the system, instead of actually contributing to the network.
It’s failing because it can’t connect to some crypto web3 bullshit… It’s probably best if it doesn’t load tbh.
And Bountysource is also dead crypto shit. See: https://github.com/bountysource/core/issues/1586
The “open” management of bigger open source problems is a kafkaesque nightmare. If you want to help make something better and change it somehow, you have to go on week-long journeys trying to figure out who is in control of that part of the project, who you can ask for guidance, who knows anything at all…
E.g. once I wanted to help package a new version of a software for a big linux distribution… and literally all the (~10) mantainers apparently wen’t missing a few years ago. I managed to find one of the mantainers private reddit account and contacted them there, and they just made me a mantainer. And I still couldn’t do shit because there is another dependecy which also needs to be updated, but it’s mantainers are also all dead.
The effort of even getting to the point where you could contribute something meaningful, is like 100 times more than the effort of the actual contribution. It’s completely rotten.
I also have the feeling that the comments started to suck a lot more. It’s starting to feel like comments on Youtube or Instagram, not like real people having a somewhat reasonable discussion about the topic.
Wat?
