im getting the same issue just now. marketing-loader.js content looks normal enough to me

They use anime.js for their animations https://animejs.com/

As seen in their source code here: view-source:https://bloomberg.github.io/blazingmq/assets/animations/anim...

as is caffeinated soda

Wouldn't this name be a copyright infringement given it's for high quality audio streaming?

Appreciate your response! I enjoy the technical contents of this piece. Thanks for keeping an open mind for future articles!

I completely agree, this comes off as a highly sexist narrative where the expectation of a female partner is to be nothing but supportive and existing purely for the male counterpart.

Well their Frugality principle certainly checks out according to the press. Who needs bathroom breaks when you can pee in bottles?

"Frugality Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size, or fixed expense."

You have always been able to run Snapchat and android apps on Windows via emulators like MEmu.

I looked at that photo and realized I knew you Small world, my co-founer and I won 2 DigitalOcean awards at HackTech and LA Hacks that you awarded us

Unlimited PTO is a money-saving tactic for businesses. Traditional unused PTO is paid out upon resignation, but flex unlimited PTO has no such requirement.

I think it's great and full support it. Cool art imo

LOL why does their hero have an android phone

This technology is already implemented and being used in harbors (I've seen it in Florida) to keep the seaweed OUT of the marina. It was very impressive how well it worked

I think this is called tacit collusion. You see something like this with gasoline pricing - major brands will have "competing" stations across the street from each other, but their prices moves in lock step without a race to the bottom.

Memory vendors have explicitly colluded in the past, but they really didn't need to - they just needed to copy their competitors' posted pricing. Presumably that is what they do now.

If there are high barriers to new competitors entering the market, then the situation is unlikely to change.

Discussion of Apple topics here on HN almost always gets reduced to the argument that Apple is not a monopoly, so what they are doing is OK. I want to present an alternative viewpoint. It's not a monopoly issue, it is an anti-competitive issue. In Canada, we have three major cell carriers. None of them has a monopoly, or anything close to it. None of them has even 50% market share.

You can have a 10 GB smartphone plan with Rogers for $75. If you don't like that, you can switch to Bell's 10 GB plan for $75. If you don't like Bell, of course you can switch to Telus's 10 GB plan for, wait for it, $75.

The Big 3 operate smaller brands with fewer bells and whistles and lower costs. You can get a 4 GB cell plan from Koodo (Telus subsidiary) for $50, or from Fido (Rogers subsidiary) for $50, or from Virgin Mobile (Bell subsidiary) for $50.

Sometimes one of them has promotional pricing, like $45 instead of $50 for 4GB. The other two offer the same pricing for the same duration. Sometimes one of them increases their prices by $5 a month citing reasons such as infrastructure investments, lower Canadian dollar value, or inflation. The other two increase their prices by the same amount a couple of days later.

And none of this is collusion in the legal sense. They don't gather in smoke-filled rooms and decide how to screw over their customers. There is not back-channel communication whatsoever. And it is not because the competition is so perfect the prices have been commoditized. In fact, Canada has some of the highest cell plan prices in the world, even adjusting for factors such as population density and GDP.

It's just that the big companies have decided to stop competing. If you live in, say Alberta or Ontario or BC, you have three options and they are all the same overpriced crap. Cell carriers in Canada are not a monopoly, but you don't have to be a monopoly to harm customers with anti-competitive behaviour. Apple and Google, Android and iOS do not have a monopoly or a collusion agreement. But they are harming the customers all the same.

Do you scrape using web requests? Or do you use headless browsing to load the page and extract the contents out of the DOM?

I freelanced online and did a startup at 17. The pay was terrible and the startup a failure, but beyond all that, the knowledge was worth it.

you should post your bitcoin or eth address so people can donate until you reach the price of your vape, then turn it on and see what happens.

I'd pay to witness that.

Yep! Apple had the upper hand with this by having limited hardware compatibility.

Well for starters, you could pirate any version of windows for free and load it up on practically any hardware. Can't say the same about mac os unless you want to take the painful route of making a hackintosh

Yep, most places I've lived, I've only ever had 1 option (unless I want to pay for satellite internet lol)

Wouldn't ISPs just whitelist google? How would google even check without causing false positives?

They made the browser mistake, which part do you need elaborated?

I love the maplestory gifs when you press the right arrow :)

I've had 0 need to do that as a web developer, and I much prefer developing on windows 10 than Ubuntu. The bash shell does everything I need it to. The small things that don't work in the bash shell, I can just run the windows version. It basically just boils down to the tools and environment you need, but I have everything I want and need on windows 10 now.

I have been developing using the bash shell on Windows. It's got a couple quirks (like a couple second startup time on first startup, or docker issues) but it has performed exceptionally otherwise. I've primarily been doing nodejs development and installing random unix packages I need.

I will not support Snowden. He invaded the government's privacy by releasing those documents.

Love the site design, but will never use the library

Except the fuel used to create the airplane ;)
