Hey all! Took too long, but I'm now on @SomeCodingGuy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.gamedev.place/@SomeCodingGuy , come by if you're free!

Lawd! So this is the state of online banking in the Caribbean. Yes, that is Netscape Navigator that they are recommending, or IE5🤦🏿‍♂️

@caseyrosenthal This exact thread was featured last week on exflix!

Hey anyone have any good recommendations for a bank for a young internet-savvy company? Asking for a friend. (The friend is me.)

@norootcause From the thin description of the change, it sounds like a typo but we can't rule out a regex..

“it was only as GHE was brought back up from maintenance that the invalid configuration was then applied across the resolver fleet over the course of an hour.” Moral: never brings things back up. engineering.atspotify.com/2023/02/incide…

@ThePrimeagen People hate to learn how to program when not knowing it pays about as well

i don't understand why people hate types

@mhawthorne Until modern internet based delivery, I wouldn't assume a lot of a precision, probably more akin to "good polling"; VOD has the advantage of being able to precisely know watching, falloff, rewatch, clustering, etc. That said, it's just conjecture for me how HBO and others did it

@SomeCodingGuy it makes me wonder about the precision of netflix’s decisions vs. the way similar companies operated in the past did hbo or other networks have reasonably accurate data for impressions and conversion rates 20 years ago? if not, how were they making these decisions?

@sargun @travismcpeak @amjithr I'd guess production cost is likely a factor

@SomeCodingGuy @travismcpeak @amjithr There's a lot that doesn't get watched and doesn't get cancelled. Unfortunately.

@travismcpeak Yup, @amjithr has got it. I agree with cancelling expensive shows no one watches (another unpopular opinion) and am surprised at the the level of misinformation around Netflix and shows.I am worried about sleeper / slow ramp hits being cut due to too much content w/untuned algo 2

@SomeCodingGuy Is this unpopular? It’s just the way it goes. It is a business, after all. Every business with content cancels things people don’t watch/listen to.

@Lechonbaka I thought people usually put it in their name. Tried the s d f one, will try a few more!

@imitation_dev Probably depends on if you already know how to multiply without it or not ;)

Am I the only one or is this a lot slower than just doing the multiplication?

@piq9117 @xsgames_ There are only two industries that refer to their customers as "users"

@xsgames_ just a drug user

Are you a Mac, Windows, or Linux user?

@shervinafshar He's the ruby reboot 400 times an hour guy.

@anthony_codes Probably something mastodon, just haven't had the time to finish evaluating options

@SomeCodingGuy What's your current solution?

@jcranendonk I noticed the same thing!

@katiehal16 I'm getting ready for a mastodon migration myself, just gotta get some time :( This house is too much on fire

@jason_koch @protosphere_ @whitequark Indeed!

@jpbalarini @chriswein @elonmusk (regardless, I think Chris is right, you wouldn't want to give up coverage)

@jpbalarini @chriswein @elonmusk Nah, you didn't try hard enough: youcanuse.org/avif/

With the acquisition of Twitter by @elonmusk, we witnessed one of the most controversial deals of recent times. He started by asking teams to reduce servers and cloud services' annual costs by $1 billion. The question is, how to achieve this? This is where I would start:🧵

@chriswein @jpbalarini @elonmusk Besides, why not avif? 🤣

@jpbalarini @elonmusk Agree they should have WebP as an option but unless you can 100% retire JPG as a format you are net adding storage either forever or a transition.
