I'm just guessing, but I assume that after a certain point, what you're trying to draw is so niche and/or new that no one's bothered to make decent software for it. Like, you can do a Feynman diagram quickly on a chalk board, or spend 3x as long dragging lines in Visio or something to make a diagram diagram.

Even with CAD existing, I still always sketch initial project ideas out on paper just cause it's fast and easy.

Congratulations, you've killed all political participation.

I'll say that if the really talented people are signing on to this, that could be noticeable. I know Amazon tends to just churn through devs every year, but actually good software engineers are surprisingly hard to find.

Zelle is free. It sucks, but it's there.

Look up how HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) works. They just need to generate a personalized playlist for each person which points at things already hosted on CDN, and insert the ads where they want in the literal text file that your video player reads from to serve you the video.

I don't know much about it, but it looks like there's specific tags designed for dynamic ad insertion. Idk if YouTube plans to use them in this case though, if they want it to be undetectable to the client.

Why 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?

This really represents how disenfranchised I feel these days, always having to spend my time voting for the lesser evil instead of someone who actually represents my interests.

It sounds like you're describing the same thing that happened when we globalized manufacturing. Economists said everyone would retrain and go to other fields, but it just doesn't seem to happen IRL.

I'm in Texas right now, and tbh I feel like Democrats would be able to do a lot more good here if they let go of gun control for now and focused on actually being electable in Texas so they can work on the multitudes of other issues there are to fix. You could even probably reduce shootings by fixing social issues, but you have to be elected first. If they did well long enough to prove some more liberal ideas work, people may trust them enough for gun control to happen one day.

Not if you're mainly interested in counting multiples of pi.

"A base is usually a whole number bigger than 1, although non-integer bases are also mathematically possible."

I don't think there's any technical reason we can't count in base pi

 

Would be nice to have an option to mark posts as read after scrolling past. This is in Jerboa, and has proven useful in making refreshing the feed much less repetitive.
