Problem is that barely anyone use crypto as currency. Almost everybody treat it as a stupid get rich quick scheme.

Usually the most straightforward solution is good enough. And when you want to improve the performance, it’s rarely about time complexity.

Or just test the damn thing before shipping it to customers. That’s standard practice in the software industry.

If they had just installed it on one of their own Windows machines, none of this would’ve happened.

Risks are normally outside the reasonable control of the company. For example, sales not hitting the target. They can’t just press a button and up goes the sales.

This was entirely within the company’s control. That risk shouldn’t ever be there at all. They could’ve avoided the entire situation if they chose not to ship the faulty software.

Refactoring for the sake of refactoring is rarely a good thing. It should be done with a clear purpose in mind.

Refactoring is often necessary to ensure new features can be continuously added with ease.

Undefined is not part of JSON specification. It’s also not a thing in Java.

Whether they intend it or not, these engines are built to funnel you back into the lowest common denominator, most broadly appealing stuff, because that’s what the algorithm sees gets the most clicks from the average person.

That’s not my general experience. Spotify for example is good at recommending me songs with less than 10k plays which I vibe on. I’ve discovered many smaller artists thanks to Spotify recommendations.

Recommendation is part of the service. If they know I like something, then it’s reasonable they recommend me something that’s similar. It’s like going to a restaurant and asking for recommendations.

Advertising is when things are promoted outside the service. It’s like going to a restaurant and they tell me about Raid Shadow Legends. I don’t want that.

I think recommendation should be linked to usage data like watch history on that particular service. Location and other external information shouldn’t be used. I don’t want my recommendations depend on which friends I have or recent activity on a different service.

Probably near zero chance. Fediverse is dead empty compared to the alternatives, so not ideal if they want to reach out to their fans.

Developers tend to think in extremes.

This practice is bad sometimes? Avoid it at all costs!

This practice is good sometimes? Use it all the time without question!

That’s probably why they want to diversify. Different products for different age groups / target audiences.

I don’t think they’re dying just because they change one metric. It might just be that the old metric no longer aligns with their goals.

They’ve probably realized it’s not feasible to put all eggs in one basket and try to collect all users in one big platform. Instead they might aim to build a more diverse set of platforms.

Most YouTubers rely on sponsorships and/or Patreon subscriptions. Getting compensation is not a platform problem.

The reason why content creators choose YouTube is because that’s where all the viewers are. Few people know about peertube. Even fewer have used it.

Just use JQuery (with a PHP backend)

The suggestions are also deprecated

IntelliJ is great for organizational settings. I would never use it for home use as there are many good free alternatives for that kind of setting.

Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.

So jetbrains is “acceptable” because I don’t need to open my own wallet.

Great, then you agree that stealing is bad.

Authors have the right to be compensated for their work. There are many things that are wrong with current copyright, but denying artists compensation for their work is not the way.

Wouldn’t you also be mad if your salary was denied?
