To be fair, most of these apps were made before the notification categories were invented and they don't keep the consultants that made the initial app, or want to pay for the change.

Agreed but someone actually tried it - did the research.

That's just what we call people spending some time to figure something out. Security research is basically just trying to learn the technology and then trying to break it.

Vespucci is awesome. I've used it extensively for years. It's only for editing though, not for navigation. I use OsmAnd (free pro features on f-droid)

The resolved ones get removed so the harder and harder notes remain. The main obstacle is usully that someone needs to actually go to the location, take notes and edit the map. It's a lot of work.

I'm Swedish. I see it sometimes, as well as just "t", which is even worse because is can be mistaken for Tera.

No thanks. It's way more fun to be part of the decision process. If a manager can anticipate all of the requirements and quirks of the project before it even starts, it's probably going to be a really boring, vanilla project at which point it's probably just better to but the software.ä somewhere else.

Creating something new is an art in itself. Why would you not want to be a part of that?

Also: Isn't it cheating to compare the two approaches when one of them is defined as having all the planning "outside" of the project scope? I would bet that the statistics in this report disregard ll those projects that died in the planning phase, leaving only the almost completed, easy project to succeed at a high rate.

It would be interesting to also compare the time/resources spent before each project died. My hunch is that for failed agile project, less total investment has been made before killing it off, as compared to front loading all of that project planning before the decision is made not to continue.

Complementary to this, I also think that Agile can have a tendency to keep alive projects that should have failed on the planning stage. "We do things not because they are easy, but we thought they would be easy". Underestimating happens for all project but for Agile, there should be a higher tendency to keep going because "we're almost done", forever.

They want to get recommendations just good enough to keep you hooked. If they show you just the objectively best, you would instantly know after seeing the best ones, that the rest of the catalogue is worse and worse.

This is how Netflix was in the beginning. I actually unsubscribed for a while for yhis reason. Now I'm as hooked as ever, there might still be a few good ones out there - I just need to keep scrolling for a few hours. /s

"tn" is the worst. We already a globally accepted thousand suffix. Why would they start inventing new ones?

Plus, the news of this would already be priced into the stock, so if anything the price is already low and these companies would need to pivot their business (which would increase the value again) or die (which would lower the price marginally, to zero). Either way, shorting is a bad strategy in this case.

To rephrase: I would not spend 30 minutes listening to ads in order to save 30 minutes of spare time. Probably even less because ads are very disruptive to me, wasting more precious time.

But that is eating from my time. Given time=money in the above statement, this would eventually bring the value down to zero again.

Fuzzy search solves this pretty good

Saving 30 minutes a month (or even week), Spotify starts to sound like a good deal. I'm in!

But the dish washer doesn't get to cook...

Yes. The whole post is a trick with statistics. Web pages have a limited lifespan. You can do the aame trick with human life spans.

"50 % of humans that lived 60 years ago are now dead". You would tweak the numbers to be factual but something like that makes sense to me.

If you only keep the samples you started out with, of course it's going to decline over time. The data is guaranteed to not grow since nothing is ever added.

It's right there in the name . WINamp

I don't think n64 did. They even had major frame drops in many games.

This is the way! You gotta stick to it on the weekends. No exceptions.

Personally, I sleep in till 9 in the weekends. Wake up a mess early Monday. Mondays suck but it's still worth it gor me.

It's worth noting though, that Spotify has been bleeding money since the start. I know they may be wasting a lot of money on side hustles but still. They're not raking home any money. The only way the founders got rich is by the overinflated stock price.
