Just to power users? I keep getting suggestions to finish viewing last 1-2 minutes of each episode - the end credits that I previously skipped using big "start next episode" button.

They are called adrenaline junkies for a reason. That makes me wonder - can we put thrill-seeker in "rehab"? And should we?

Some monitors just have bad backlight. I had old one where maximizing terminal(which is mostly black) window caused taskbar and window handle also to turn almost black.

Last time I tried hackerrank i wasn't impressed - the problem specification was lacking, input/output wasn't defined well enough. Quality varied wildly between problems.

> Imgur had DEFINITELY gotten WAY worse than even a year or so ago

There is vicious cycle with all image hosting services and Imgur(and Photobucket) has reached the last step:

1. Notice all other services are filled with ads and full of bloat

2. Create new, free and very simple image uploading site

3. Site gains popularity

4. Operating costs go through the roof

5. Try to monetize by adding ads or move to paid accounts

6. goto 1

> Did you read the github issues? There were hundreds of people against it.

Every time github issue goes viral it ends with hundreds of useless comments full of animated gifs. That is not an argument for anything.

Storing hashes in source repo would make it very hard to manage and I am not sure if processing raw names into hashes as part of build would be any help against such DMCA request.

> My job is not to balance an arbitrary math equation that x% of engineers are supposed to be women

It really sound like Goodhart's law. It no longer matters that corporations wanted to remove bias from hiring process and access mostly untapped pool of talents. Now it is important how well they are doing it, measured by single % value.

Makes me wonder when Firefox will be able to resume interrupted file downloads without addons.

Even more interesting will be the effect on sites that can't get "good" ads due to adult content or sketchy legality like file sharing sites.

Buying ASICs is high risk and (probably) high reward - in event of crash you are left with worthless machines. GPUs will still have some value, even after all crypto currencies drop.

Now it is wrapped in "SmartCloud" instead. I am not sure if that is an improvement.

> perfectly clean sensors

I saw thin layer of ice appear on parking sensors after few minutes of driving in snowy conditions, triggering "close object" warnings. And cars get dirty all the time, I wonder if cars will end up with separate wiper for each sensor.
