Radio on internet?

I did this to disable the "Samsung TV Plus" app that is impossible to uninstall, and otherwise impossible to stop from periodically taking over the TV (e.g. instead of booting to t…

This feels like a lot of editorial for an original source that only contains this: > And I now have a more powerful arm64 machine (thanks to Ampere), so the last week I've been doi…

https://streamigo.io/ It's an app to help 2+ people choose what to watch together on the most popular streaming platforms by presenting semi-random titles, asking each person to vo…

And then there are the fake reviews left by shady reputation management services. $previous_company (which was very small) had many negative reviews pop up in a short time frame, w…

And at the beginning, they tried to partner with Enron to do it. For some reason that part didn't pan out...

Recently, though? This worked earlier this year, but one vendor had at least 90x RPI4-8B in stock yesterday and they were gone in seconds. rpilocator didn't even see it.

There is a cost to pay up-front in having null safety in your codebase, but the savings come back over time. Can we easily measure whether or not it truly makes a difference? Maybe…

But why is it faster? A non-associative translation to byte code (or however python works)?

I wonder, how much of ticket price increases can be attributed to resellers? It's not long after tickets are released that it seems _everything_ for sale is third-party.

In this case, neither party has really signed-up for it. To the candidate, it might not matter that much if they don't have a negative experience with the recruiter, but to the com…

Years ago, my previous employer had a few listings on Indeed for software engineers (some were very long-running). A recruiter reached out to us with a candidate they had, who had …

It's cool to see that someone is trying to test these claims. Not long ago, the BR site was shared on my work Slack and there were some that immediately argued "Yup, I can read fas…

Well, thanks for eating up a bunch of my time, too. It feels like some of the data its using for hazards is wrong. My current county gets excluded by "avoid hurricanes" and "avoid …

Yeah, I mean the part of doing this while having a job shouldn’t be rocket science: “I have an appointment” is usually a good enough reason to take some time at the beginning or en…

For types of 2FA, sadly. AWS also does it to verify your phone number when you create an account.

Then phone spam would be replaced by fraud, similar to what already happens with premium number fraud: https://www.twilio.com/learn/voice-and-video/toll-fraud A bot tricks a voice …

Creating a higher level abstraction is something people have been trying to do for decades with so-called 4th-generation languages. At some point, abstracting away too much makes a…

This is a shame, I found my current job on StackOverflow along with other high quality interviews. What alternatives are there?

Spark is really its own world that’s fairly separate from the Scala community at large. What makes it a ”terrible technology”?

I actually saw a job posting by them on SO awhile back for “part-time article writing”. My guess is if they legitimately hire people to do it, those people just end stealing conten…
