I forgot I even did this but I'm coming up on 10 years in just a couple weeks.

I'm not in software but from what I read the importer sends a request and that request is used by the exporter and importer to encrypt and decrypt, so I think there's a way to tweak the whole process a little and instead have both the exporter and importer ask Netflix or whoever to provide a key as opposed to using the request. Could be wrong tho

He has a lot of supporters that'd do it for free, but he's also the kind of client who would insist on so much stupid bullshit that the app has a 300MB patch every other day. "Let's make the news feed a 4K video of a bullet point slide because the campaign team can just whip a new one up every day alongside different music, and it has to be 4K otherwise it might look gross". Basically the Homer Simpson bubblecar of apps

Other Trump supporters were heard shouting, "too soon!"

I've been getting better at making small but meaningful changes to my life by recognizing that a lot of it is simply habit/routine, making an earnest effort at thinking of ways in which I can modify them, and making an earnest effort at applying them.

Very generally: Think of something I do that I might want to curb, think of why that thing is what I do, think of things I could do that would impede on my ability to do those things, and implement those changes.

Couple specifics:

I'm fond of beer. I don't binge or anything but if it's in the fridge I'm probably gonna grab one every couple of hours, and that's not too healthy and kind of a waste of money, so now, when I buy beer I just toss a couple cans in the fridge and put the rest in the cabinet above the fridge. If I run out I'll toss a couple in the next day. Now I drink a lot less because I'm not gonna drink warm beer and when I open the fridge I see the scarcity and tend to just shut the fridge and walk away.

I'm an introvert and I love reading about things and events, non-fiction crap, walking around on Wikipedia and stuff. It drives my wife up the wall when I'm doing and I don't blame her because I'm bad at listening when I'm not giving my full undivided attention, so I removed all my phone chargers except for the one in the bedroom. Now, I just set my alarms and plug in the phone, walk into the other room, get out of that headspace, and engage my wife in conversation.

I just thought it's funny that AI can't determine I'm talking about memes. It's like, look, Gemino bro, all I use you for is making Garfield and Shrek comments

It'd be kind of sad to see how delusional he is if I didn't know he's a gigantic asshole

I actually googled that to try to pull a screenshot and the AI summary told me to go to a doctor

Giving me Don Hertzfeldt's Rejected vibes, if you haven't seen this it's hilarious and is probably slightly older than Youtube. There's irreverent, and then there's this

They behave exactly like black mold. They start coalescing in some adjacent space and suddenly BOOM. Online storefront, starts hosting its own servers, that becomes part of the business. Starts building out warehouses, that becomes part of the business. IoT things that run on their servers, then cameras, gobbles up Blink. They even had a pilot project for restaurant delivery, we'll probably see that again once they can tie it into their parcel delivery fleet

A couple companies make them like TunerRack but I think the biggest issue is that it's no longer compatible with the scissor jack. A couple other issues are that the ones that use grub screws to pinch the welds can come off if the grub screws back out from vibration, and the kinds that require drilling sometimes develop obnoxious rattle if they wind up having play.

But the most unintended outcome of all this is usually those things are nice shiny anodized bits, so people tend to still use pads, which kind of defeats the purpose

We evolved to have that response in a world in which hospitals didn't exist and in which we faced predation by other animals, and 'curl into a ball feeling like shit for a couple days' was the most viable way for the body to handle even the most mundane of infections (all the other ideas didn't make the cut and here we are). But now, 21st century, we're like 'oh it's just the cold' and actively attempt to mitigate it.

A slew of other things are still stuck in 20,000BC as well, like our bodies not being able to deal with copious amounts of sugar, or thinking we might have difficulties securing our next meal. Cut too many calories trying to lose some fat and your body legit thinks you're dying and starts breaking down all sorts of soft tissue that isn't fat. Or vasoconstriction when we're out shoveling snow with a warm house 15ft away, all sorts of shit
