Movies are just as bad with the editing. They're way too fucking long.

Wake up dead man? I feel like 30-45m could be cut and it'd be good. Why is One Battle after another almost 3 hours?

Is there a competition to try to beat the notoriously long Lord of the Rings Extended edition in runtime?


I miss the 90-115 min movie length standard from not that far ago. Those screenwriters knew how to make a script tight.

Movies with a runtime over 3 hours really stood out.


One Battle After Another - skip everything in the earlier timeline at the beginning of the movie. Nothing is lost. It might even be better, because what exactly is happening is a bit of a mystery but you still get all the info you need in the end.


Gtk makes that simple python program way more complex since it'll need more than pure-python dependencies.

It's really a huge pain point in python. Pure python dependencies are amazingly easy to use, but there's a lot of packages that depend on either c extensions that need to be built or have OS dependencies. It's gotten better with wheels and manylinux builds, but you can still shoot your foot off pretty easily.


How long ago were you having issues? That was changed in go 1.13.


I'm of the opinion that mocks should be provided by the thing that you're mocking. That is, if you are wanting to mock out a service, the mock should be owned by the service that is being mocked.

And then it should be part of that service's test suite, to verify it's own mock.

You update your service? Then you must update the mock.

I guess that's more of a fake, but the naming doesn't matter as much as the behavior.


For now. With Google blocking ad block ability on their browsers, what's to stop them from blocking ad blockers in their OS?


Because they don’t restrict what web browser engines you can run on android, so Firefox is actually Firefox there.


Don't forget you can use AI to turn a 50 word blog post into a 2,000 word one!


For real. The bullet-point summary at the beginning with a "Why this matters for..." immediately followed by, "This isn't just a theoretical exercise—it's a real example of..." Dead giveaways.


Exactly this! AI fluff all over in that article.


You're absolutely right!


The problem isn't that AI makes obtuse documentation usable. It's that it makes good documentation unread.

There's a lot of good documentation where you learn more about the context of how or why something is done a certain way.


It's why the 3 branches of government worked so well for the US for so long. They each want to protect themselves, and are effectively at odds with each other unless there is almost universal agreement on something.

However that has completely fallen apart with a toothless Congress, and a executive branch that can stack the 3rd branch with similar minded idealogues.


There's money to be made on arbitration of orphan crushing! If I don't do it someone else will.


Introducing “The Automatic Orphan Crusher 9000” complete with conveyor belt fed chutes and titanium jaws, no orphan can escape! Just place a piece of candy…”


Does it have AI?


That would be part of our Orphan Industries plan for managing output of your 9000s on the industrial floor. Sure. Monitor throughput and TTK right there from the app.


CGI is still bad tbh. Look at all the boring stuff produced for Marvel.
