What does this have to do with Claro?

Why does the randomization have to happen in the database query? Assuming there aren't any large gaps in the distribution of IDs, and if you know the max_id, couldn't you pick a random number between min_id and max_id and get the record whose ID matches that random number?

I like the Hack font too, but I also like ligatures:

I'm not sure what you mean that Messenger as a platform is gone. I still use their messaging app all the time, is that not the same thing?

and the Reddit app can be used completely for free vs. the Apollo app requiring you to pay

I've been using Apollo for free for years, you don't need to pay for it.

lmao

For those who may be wondering, the Settings button referred to here is the gear button in the Youtube video player.

So, how do we create an Internet Archive Archive?

Cars in my state (Utah) don't even get inspected anymore.

We're migrating our apps from Vue.js to HTMX, and it has been a great experience. The size of our codebase has consistently gone down as we move things to HTMX, and it feels like the level of complexity goes down as well.

I highly recommend using HTMX.

I'm on Ubuntu Server 22.04, and I've never had to use Snap. Is it exclusively a Desktop thing?

How is this different from Rate Your Music or Album Of The Year?

Where's the lie?

Could someone explain what ipfs protocol support means? What can ffmpeg do with ipfs?

I recently took on the maintenance of my team's mobile app, so I'm learning Ionic Vue, Firebase Analytics and Cloud Messaging.

I'm mainly a Django dev, and I'm curious how the productivity of Rails compares to Django. Do you have anything conclusions about their relative productivity, given a reasonable competency in both frameworks?

How is it better? I'm curious.

It's these kinds of stories that remind me that governments are not the only bodies of control that laboring people must contend with -- corporations have just as much, if not more in some cases, power.

Thanks for the correction.

Unrelated, but I'm curious if console emulators could gain performance by hand-writing certain parts of it in assembly (the JIT recompiler, for example).

If they were able to do it without any repercussions or consequences, why would they ever stop doing it?

My favorite coding font is Consolas. Any chance of that one?

It works if I click Reset Tournament, but when I first loaded the page it didn't work and just showed the "You have chosen the winner" message.

Companies in the US are not an extension of the state in anyway near the way Chinese firms are, even if some collude.

In the US, the state is an extension of the corporation.

My answer is no.

Twitter is for people to make up a guy to get mad at.

Plato made up a guy to destroy people in debate.

I think they meant researchers who study misinformation.

Isn't the Signal Protocol an open protocol?

I think this highlights the difference between practice and good practice. You won't get better at something by merely doing it over and over again. You have to practice something difficult or foundational to the skill with intention, using techniques that are designed to help you improve your skills.

For example, if you're trying to get better at playing drums, playing the same beat poorly for an hour probably won't do much. A technique like starting to play at a slow tempo and gradually speeding up, cleaning up the mistakes as you go, is a technique that can help you practice more effectively.

The same is true for programming. Implementing a simple TODO app, while a good intro problem to solve for beginners, is probably not going to make most programmers better or more knowledgable at programming.

The name Evil Corp is a reference to the show Mr. Robot right?
