My guess is OP is comparing it to the good ol' days of forums like vBulletin, which I have no idea why you would compare vBulletin to IRC.

Stranger Things is literally the most popular streaming show ever.

That's like comparing The Larry Sanders show to Seinfeld.

Agreed, hate the battery life in my SE 2020.

Currently thinking about getting the 13 mini but I love TouchID too much so it's really a debate between TouchID or better battery life, ugh...

What are the hospital bills like in cases like this?

> How many people don't play the NYT Sunday Crossword b/c they never get more than a few words?

The NYT Crossword Minis is actually really popular within my friend group. It's usually about 8-10 words.

> btw, apple doesn't have some magical solution to this scaling problem. their small phones have significantly worse battery life than their larger offerings. it's just that their overall efficiency advantage makes a small iphone more viable than a small android phone.

Agreed. Am currently in the SE 2020 and its battery life is terrible. Apple is expected to announce a SE 2022 and I'm curious how the battery life will be with it supporting 5G and a better SoC. If it's the same/worse, I'm going to upgrade to the 13 mini.

The NYT Crossword minis release at 7pm PDT so everyone gets it at the same time. This way, everyone can corroborate times, talk about the puzzle, etc. if you want.

With Wordle releasing at 12am your timezone, it gets confusing when someone could be talking about the next day's or previous day's puzzle.

Disappointed it still releases at 12am for your timezone. Hate this system.

Yep, had this problem with one of those "ball feeders". My solution was to put it in bathtub.

I really wish Wordle would release the daily puzzle where everyone can do it at the same time.

Possible? Yes. More work? Also yes.

You have to eat way more tofu, beans, eggs, etc. to get the equivalent amount of protein in chicken, steak, pork, etc.

> Well I guess my question would be are those sports really better for it?

Depends on your definition of better. Better for simplicity? I suppose. Better for entertainment? Arguable. Better for competition? No.

Right now, the rules incentivize time wasting. If you're up goal in the 85th minute, you should fake an injury or take 30 seconds for a goal kick because it improves your chances of winning. Other sports have solved this decades ago because of how flawed it is. Hell, even tennis, a sport that doesn't utilize a clock, added a serve clock due to players attempting to waste time to their benefit.

> At least now if a team is adjudged to be taking the piss with the timewasting the ref can just mentally tack another minute or two onto the game.

But anyone who regularly watches football knows that stoppage time is ridiculously inconsistent. A half can have 3 goals and VAR reviews and only have 4 minutes of stoppage time. Then within those 4 minutes, the winning team will take 30 seconds per goal kick and then the ref will blow time at 4 minutes on the dot.

Again, it makes zero sense from a competitive aspect.

I love watching defensive football, teams like Atletico Madrid defeating the Barcelona in the 15-16 Champions League finals.

What I hate watching is the time-wasting, injury faking shenanigans that defensive teams also do. Unfortunately, it's a part of the game due to football's insistence on using a running clock, which makes zero sense from a competitive aspect and needs to be changed.

> then Uefa can find out how well soccer works without the players if they want.

Then the players can find out that they're making less money due to less sponsorships.

> The URL used in the XHR points to this (accessing directly only shows a '0' but with archive.is you get that JavaScript): https://archive.is/TxFWj

How did you get from the XHR to that script inside that archive?

I prefer the icon menu bars with text underneath the icons. iOS Apps use this a lot: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

Wow, I'm impressed by your persistence. Have you worked with him or know him personally?

Well, Bumble is one of the most successful and they haven't been gobbled up by Match Group.

But yeah, good luck to them. Their bit on the "feedback loop" will be a tough problem to solve.

> Music services have so far avoided the library fragmentation and exclusivity wars that soured streaming video.

Libraries were fragmented in music years ago but it eventually didn't work out for either the artist (Radiohead with Spotify) or the service (Tidal). We're just now seeing it with podcasts.

Haven't heard of DoorDash or GrubHub doing it but OrderAhead was caught doing it couple years ago: https://www.geekwire.com/2015/exclusive-thousands-of-rogue-r...

Someone made a Seinfeld spec script about 9/11 that was good: https://twitter.com/BillyDomineau/status/760505768311304192

Any word on on the stack used to build it?

Well, these days, being attractive conflates with being already tall.

Are you the owner of the Amazon prime or are you "under" someone else's Prime account? If the latter, then you don't get Prime video.

But it might be different with the Expanse in the UK.

It's like the Amazon's Apple TV+. You get the shows that Amazon owns/licenses.

Amazon still lets you stream content it doesn't own (like how iTunes Video lets you stream TV seasons), you just have to pay for them.

> But even though I have their Prime service there seemed to be a monthly service called Prime Video required.

If you have Amazon Prime (and are the primary owner, which I'm guessing you aren't since you can't access it), then you get Prime video.

So I, too, have Prime since my brother added me under his account but he only has access to it since he's the owner.

It's a combination of how many people are swiping left/right on you and the ELO of said people.

Looks like this mainly replaces the pre-onsite or phone screen interviews?

Sure, it makes things easier for the interviewer since they'll get better candidates but does this change anything for the interviewee?

They'll still have "to find time to comb through my college computer science books, practice coding theory problems like implementing linked lists or traversing a graph, and be prepared to showcase this knowledge on a whiteboard." All that is up for game during the brutal onsite interviews.
