Not necessarily.

It could be five days in a column then there are five Mondays in a month (like this month).

In case you missed it, it’s an xkcd reference

At a previous job we had an unholy combination of the last two:

HTTP/1.1 200 POST /endpoint 
{
  "data": null,
  "errors": ["403", "unauthorized"],
  "success": false
}

For me in particular I’m a software developer who works on developer tools, so I have a lot of tests running in VMs so I can test on different operating systems. I just finished running a test suite that used up over 50 gigs of RAM for a dozen VMs.

That’s the idea of those “which pictures contain bikes?” ones and the ReCaptcha (where you had two words from books). In the book one, one of the words is known and the other is not. They’ll present the same unknown word to people until they get a clear answer from many dozens or hundreds of entries, using the known word as a control. Then that other word goes into the known words category.

My Linux machine has 64 GiB of RAM, which is like 128 GiB of Mac RAM. It’s still not enough

I mean… It probably is. It’s accessing the copyrighted content outside of the terms of the license provided by the copyright owner.

But that shows more how broken the copyright system is than anything when piracy has such a low bar.

Fundamentally what YouTube is doing is an unprofitable model. Google bought them when they were in their “we can solve internet unprofitability with scale and more efficient data centres!” phase, but that has never really gone as planned for YouTube.

For a while I was very hopeful that YouTube Premium would solve that, but as they started removing features and making it an overall worse experience it became no longer worth the money. I don’t have an answer to this. If I did I could probably make a lot of money on that answer. What I do know, however, is that Google’s answer isn’t the right one.

This is the opposite of the time my friend posted a link to my personal site on Digg. It was running on a Pentium 1 with 128 MiB of RAM on a home internet connection.

I believe this is related to that, yeah.

I wonder how quickly Apple would come up with new bullshit if apps started providing an interstitial page with a breakdown.

Membership (goes to creator): $4.75
Patreon fee: $0.25
Fee for using iOS (goes to Apple): $1.50

Total: $6.50

Which is kinda ridiculous since Apple’s practices are what Google does but worse.

Carrying the body of a smaller plane in a larger plane isn’t an antipattern either. Airbus does this between body assembly and attaching the wings.

I learned lolcode in college because we had to write a sorting algorithm in assembly and “any other programming language.”

Apple

Good faith

Lol good one!

Yep! Most of us are even homo sapiens!

Ugh Linux… I tried so hard to get viruses working in wine but in the end I gave up. Full compatibility my ass…

What browser are you using? Works fine for me in Firefox on Android

Technologically, Apple are far behind. But they’re trend setters in terms of the fact that their big marketing and outsized mind share make people want those features.

It’s dumb, but that’s where we are. iOS is essentially the IE6 of the mobile space at this point, holding back real advancements until Apple figures out a way to make a buck off them.

That’s the point though. Android has all these features, but they only suddenly become “real” to the general public when Apple makes their version of it too.

I was using Google Wallet for NFC transactions years before Apple made the same available, but as soon as they did everyone started asking if I liked the new iPhone when I paid with it.

Same reason NFC payments on Android were super niche for years before Apple finally implemented it. Or why so many apps don’t use Android features that would improve them because iOS doesn’t offer that feature. For whatever reason, Apple has an outsized mind share and are able to use that to hold back competing platforms because people don’t want the iPhone version of their apps to be less capable.

Of course, the biggest loser in all this isn’t Android. It’s smaller platforms that want to compete with both Android and iOS.
