I feel like you’re trying to fight an uphill battle. I find it’s always easiest to learn in a way that motivates or invigorates me.

For example, I wanted to play games with my friends so I got into hosting a Minecraft server. It was hell at first to learn all the individual pieces, but I was motivated and it led me down the path of learning networking, basic server client architecture, and performance monitoring. That kind of spiralled out into making my own plugin, too. Despite the fact that I never ran a server with more than 5 active players or finished my plugin, it sent me down a path learning tons of new stuff because it was fun for me.

I transitioned into webapp development later on by trying to make an idea I had come to life. This was well before I had even heard the word “startup” and I had no business sense, but I wanted to make something and was very motivated to hack my way through it. I didn’t finish that either, but I still use those skills I learned today.

Seems like it could be converted to a vending machine pretty easily if you could add your own OS

Already has security, waterproofing, payment processing stuff, and a screen to choose your item.

And they’re making things worse as we use less and less paper at the same time… Geniuses

Do people ever post real content there…? I’m concerned if so

“the dotcom crash is when the proto-humans lost all their money and regions that they called ‘countries’ devolved into chaos”

What did you prefer? Lenovo?

This has strong Always Sunny energy

I don’t know anything about how it works, but I assumed it was absorbed by the skin on your head not the actual hair.

I still doubt that putting vitamin whatever on your head everyday will actually make a difference

Basic economy will eventually only let you select any ad in their library. Actual content is for regular economy passengers only!

It’s truly amazing…they must stand at the front of meetings and just ask “how do we make our passengers hate us most?”

Maybe I don’t understand the economics of this move, but are they really going to make that much more money from targeted ads? If it’s double the price, I assume it’s worth it, but if it’s a ~10% gain it’s just dumb.

The “article” is like 100 words and just restates the title in more words.

Maybe the only information it adds is that they won’t target passengers under 18

The funny thing about this ad is that it’s already lodged deep in my brain and anytime someone says they have a headache I think about it

Care to share some of your favorites?

One of my favorites recently has been Djesse Vol. 4 by Jacob Collier

But act now and get AdamEatsAss Basic with 5 min unskippable ads for only $4.25

Stremio + Torrentio has changed my life recently!

Tons of tutorials online and it’s dead simple to set up. Takes ~ 5 mins

I have some family members that have HBO and Hulu that I borrow logins for, but I never visit the apps directly anymore, it’s just not worth it when you can get all the content all in one place with no hoops to jump through

WW3 material for New Yorkers, right there

This was actually the whole original point of Duolingo. The founder previously created Recaptcha to crowd source machine vision of scanned books.

His whole thing is crowd sourcing difficult tasks that machines struggle with by providing some sort of reason to do it (prevent spam at first and learn a language now)

From what I understand Duolingo just got too popular and the subscription service they offer made them enough money to be happy with.

This is almost an accidental case study in what the most popular platform is at any given moment! I wonder which one is next?

Good thing my company just switched from their service! Their customer service was truly awful, too.
