Again nothing of the sort changed in the US.

This is mostly misleading. Here is a detailed write up on the actual changes and what they mean.

I just did a diff of the previous terms to the current (as of 10/22/26) terms and found nothing really related to the article's claims at all. Also this is not in the US terms at all -> "We’ve clarified that all Service Plans may include: (i) promotional content, (ii) sponsorships, and (iii) advertisements before/after playback of Content and in channels, live/as-live, special events, and any third-party services content."

It seems it is only in the UK and European subscribers TOS from 06/18/26.

This is pedantic. Disney is clarifying that live content will have ads. They are not Disney's ads they are network ads from that live channel, usually a 3rd party to Disney. This is seemingly because all of Hulu's features will be ported to the Disney+ app, including live TV and replays of live TV and so whatever ads are in that live content and playback will be there for everyone.

Also, Hulu include content from other companies which require ads to be played and only offer the ad free experience on their own platform.

Dynamo DB isn’t even good at being a KV store. Almost every time we have to also back it with S3 because of size limitations.

I saw these referenced in the repo. Maybe the hand written parts are here?

I feel like the CAN-SPAM Act should apply to push notifications as well. I don’t know of any case that has tested this.

Netflix has been the worst performing and lowest quality video stream of any of the streaming services. Fuzzy video, lots of visual noise and artifacts. Just plan bad and this is on the 4k plan on 1GB fiber on a 4k Apple TV. I can literally tell when someone is watching Netflix without knowing because it looks like shit.

If I am unique every time I reload the page in a new private window, that means the fingerprint is not the same as the last time I visited right?

It’s a bit confusing to me exactly what went wrong. I think that when you have a redis/valkey cluster with multiple nodes and you use the cluster uri, there must be some kind of load balancer or custom routing. When we would attempt to connect to valkey the connection would look good, but when we would submit commands to it they would never execute. We had written our application so that it would operate with no issue (just slower) if the cache goes down. In this case, connections looked good but no work was actually being done. AWS support suggested we restart the nodes but because they were not responding they never shut down … or at least it took a really long time. They were never able to tell us what actually happened. My guess is that valkey command execution got stuck somehow but was still able to create new connections.

I run Redis across dozens of applications. So when Valkey became available for a discounted price on AWS I was excited. We finally got around to trying it out about 2 months ago and all was going well. No noticeable difference in performance. Until Valkey just died. It died in such a way that AWS still thought it was running happily but it was completely offline. It took 12+ hours for it to come up again and then it happened again... AWS researched the issue for 2 weeks and couldn't figure it out. It will be a long time before we attempt to use Valkey for anything critical in the future. We since have replace that Valkey with Redis under the same workload and have no issues.

I’m lost at why a DB (Cassandra) with better write performance than read performance was ever selected for a messaging system. I feel like it’s obvious that a message will be read more than it is written (once).

At this point just use Java instead.

But you can do that, obviously not with this syntax. It’s non standard but I have built programs that install all dependencies as a first step. It’s pretty trivial.

I have the same laptop. I am able to run two monitors plus my internal screen without display link. The trick is to use ALT mode on one. This is dependent on at least one of the monitors supporting ALT mode.

I’ve worked on several large and prominent projects; most of which experienced a large layoff of engineers in the middle of development. As the team who regularly takes over laid off team’s work with 1 engineer to the previous 10. The top things that slows our team down is “legacy” node applications (it seems like every time you turn around, whatever JavaScript or node version you used is out of date) and figuring out why an anonymous function exists and what it does.

Also due to the multiple style choices and options in JavaScript the readability is trash.

Unless you’re using a modern IDE… Then you just command click, and it takes you right to the function.

Then why not just store the encrypted credential on the device itself?

Would that be what passkeys would be?

I used Rclone at a major media company to move 4 PB of media files (so far) out of a legacy datacenter over a 200 GB link. I used 18 workers and we were able to saturate the link consistently. Good stuff.

I cannot remember the last time WiFi reliably was an issue for me. Maybe over 5 years ago..?

Google is running on other hardware, not their own. That is the difference.

Ahh yep you’re right. Thanks

I think the difference here is that Apple locks things down on Apple hardware running Apple software.

On the other hand, Google is trying to manipulate the market to gain an advantage over competitors on non Google hardware running Google software.

On the Apple side of things, the full vertical is Apple. That is not the case for Google.

Maybe people who are less productive end up having to work more hours.

Not sure if this is a serious question.

Each store will have an opening time, each will store the local time that the store opens.. just as utc.

Will* Starship? Yes. And doing so is an order of magnitude more complex than Saturn V.

Did the Saturn V turn around, come back and land, and then be used again for another launch? Maybe I missed that part?
