  • In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app

  • Ah neat, it used to require PlexPass to use the app at all. Now it only requires PlexPass for most of the app, including some pretty basic features like downloads.

    Still, it is nice that there’s some level of “free trial” for it.

    To be clear I love PlexAmp and use it as my main audio player, but I’ve paid for a plex lifetime pass.

  • You do need to pay for plexamp

  • They would have alarm clocks on the phones too

  • The mom figured out he was missing almost immediately, but then it was hard to get back because the airport was overloaded due to the holiday rush. That part would still apply today and cell phones don’t change it.

  • Apple’s aren’t square so it’s not so easy to figure out where to cut that will give you a 1/3 - 2/3 split.

  • Stack Overflow seeks rebrand as traffic continues to plummet – which is bad news for developers

  • The annoying thing about the dupe policy is sometimes the answer does change and the accepted answer to the existing question is from 5 years ago.

  • AIUI there was an aspect in the divisibility of the numbers being convenient.

    12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6. 60 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30.

    10 is divisible by 2 and 5. 100 is divisible by 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50.

    If you want to minimize dealing with fractions, 12 and 60 are far more convenient than 10 and 100.

  • This MP3 nugget is humiliating modern tech.

  • I have an old iPod shuffle. No screen, works as a USB stick, just plug it in, put some songs on, and it works.

  • College Degree

    Jump

  • electricians, plumbers

    Doesn’t require a college degree. May require trade school or an apprenticeship.

    math teachers

    Requires multiple degrees but they are extremely underpaid and while I do think the US could use more and better teachers, the funding of the public school system does not reflect that.

    chemists

    Probably ok prospects right now but the job market in general kinda sucks right now so you still might have trouble.

    etc etc etc.

    Computer science was an extremely desirable degree from an employment perspective up until a couple years ago, but now the computer science bubble is popping. But also in general the job market is awful right now. A lot of people I know with “practical” degrees like computer science, business, physics, and engineering are struggling to get jobs in the fields they majored in. And that’s not even getting into how awful the US system for becoming a doctor is…

  • It’s just as true a statement to say each of those 0 people at a billion slices of pie.

    However, with these types of word problems, there’s usually the implication that the pie is now gone. There’s kind of a problem figuring out where the pie went when nobody ate any pie.

  • The only announced Nintendo games that are Switch 2 exclusive are Mario Kart, Kirby Air Ride sequel, and the new Donkey Kong

  • Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down

  • I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.

    It also increases your streaming resolution and file upload size limit which is quite useful.

    It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.

    For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.

    The real enshitification I’m worried about is the gradually increasing prevalence of ads in increasingly prominent places.

  • Terraria is kinda like 2D Minecraft but with a longer but more linear progression path instead of being just a more Freeform sandbox. Kinda like some Minecraft modpacks.

  • Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()

    Jump

  • I’ve worked on a library that’s Python because the users of said library are used to Python.

    The original version of the project made heavy use of numpy, so the actual performance sensitive code was effectively C++ and fourtran, which is what numpy is under the hood.

    We eventually replaced the performance sensitive part of the code with Rust (and still some fourtran because BLAS) which ended up being about 10x faster.

    The outermost layer of code is still Python though.
