No, they’re saying NYT links to sources and other newspapers do not.


And then I start hogging usage to increase the odds that I get paid money to stop using it.


That’s called AB testing, baby


Would you ever consider making this a product?


“You mean, in the absence of docs, I have to debug the compiler??”

I agree, it’s a turn-off, for sure


If there is one thing that Racket, Pollen, and that community do pretty well is documentation. Check out https://docs.racket-lang.org and https://pollenpub.com

Also, debugging the compiler is not as daunting if you want to. I never needed. The DrRacket IDE comes with all the tools and workflows to make that just like debugging any other program.

I don’t think it’ll be useful here


Such a good blog post, from start to finish.

There aren’t a lot of expertly-written in-the-weeds-tech blog posts, but this one was crafted so well. I guess that’s why Julia Evans’ name is so recognizable.


Parent is insinuating this may be deliberate sabotage on Brother’s end, to convince users to buy a new model after a while


It may also be just random failure of some components that were simply costed to be less than bulletproof on their "low to midrange" model. Or a software issue as suggested by another poster. No evidence of any sabotage was presented.


Sure, it would be useful… if users used it.

My guess is they don’t. Did you use the like/dislike buttons they tested on Spotify radio? I didn’t, too much effort.

They probably get more signal from the skip button


I've used it extensively on Pandora for probably a decade now and it makes a station go from great to spectacular


It blows my mind that some of my Pandora stations are more than a decade old and still listened to regularly.


I would use it, and dont understand why its only avaiable in Spotify Radio and not everywhere. I think my dislike of a song in an album can still be utilized to refine my suggestions.

Whats worse, there was a song that was constantly playing after my playlist ended. No matter how many times I marked the song as Dislike, it was always in first of 5 songs that play when playlist finished. Made sure the song appeared nowhere in my playlists (had to manually search in each), and neither did the artist. After contacting support and jumping trough few "restart app" styled suggestion, I was suggested to mark the artist as "never play this artist". This surprised me, as I never seen that option before. And then I understood why: its only in mobile version. You cant solve it on PC.

Bleh


Unless you work for Google, Apple, Cloudflare, Microsoft, Facebook, etc etc ;)

Of course they’d lose their ability to issue public certificates if it became widely known, but they have it within their power.
