It's a very different kind of addiction.

Working in sports bettings is like working on an online casino.

Boarding times are basically not reliable at all. Any time I come 10m after the official boarding time on the ticket there's still a standing line.

My guess is that's because boarding a plane is a little bit like being an extra for a film, it's a hurry up and wait situation. If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time. Better for the airline to print an earlier time and have people wait longer, so they can board as quickly as possible. Every minute behind schedule costs the airline money.

AA displays the boarding time in the app instead of the departure time once the flight gets close enough (like same day)

>If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time

I don't understand the logic. If everyone is there at the stated boarding time and the airline has correctly allocated enough time for boarding, aren't they winning?

200 people can't board at the same second. Reality is you want orderly boarding over the course of ~ 10-15mins depending on passenger makeup. Crew also need to account for passenger with additional needs, catering recharge, etc

The point is "everyone is there at the stated boarding time" never actually happens IRL, so you give an earlier time.

Yes, and the actual time is probably too close to the official take off time.

But this is why Flighty probably doesn't show it, it's irrelevant.

Just don't try this on Ryan Air. A good friend got stuck at the airport on a Sunday night after being denied boarding because he waited out the standing line sitting on a bench right by the gate. As soon as the last person standing walked through the checkpoint the gate crew closed the gate -- and completely ignored my friend when he showed up 10 seconds later.

How did his actual boarding time match up with the contractually agreed boarding close time?

Most budget airlines pull this crap but I've started pushing back especially when it's poor weather outside and they expect us to wait in the rain just to improve their metrics

They need some EU261 denied boarding threats/claims to sort them out

I disagree. I live in Lisbon and the local airport is in a pretty bad condition these days. It's helpful to be able to get a general view.

I've seen many developers who released the same app on both iOS and Android and realized that Apple platforms still provide them with 80% of revenue for 20% of users.

Not that many people on Android are willing to pay $60 for an app.

Yeah, iOS would never kill an app in the background to try and save battery

IOS it's work at killing apps that android. Some software manufacturers in android allow you to bypass it in the settings.

A bit similar to Lex, which I love using for writing, but bringing any doc over is very useful.

Yeah Im aware of Lex. I think it falls short in a lot of ways. If you have ideas of how Revise could improve for writing, please email me your thoughts art@revise.io

Not sure why anyone would bother to go through this. > Thanks to the truly horrendous amounts of web scraping these days by unscrupulous AI companies, the Cheapskate's Guide has been forced to block the entire Internet. But fear not! Humans still have an easy way of accessing this most excellent site.

The more I learn about all the frameworks for Windows, the more I believe they should have just switched to web development. Make it native to the platform, fork Electron to enable Edge runtme with some shared resources, and then they'd have a more thriving app ecosystem at least.

I have an absolutely opposite opinion. YouTube is fantastic. If it's bad for you, it might be your own recommendations (which are driven by what you watch).

It's now a fascinating ecosystem with everything from streamers with 1000 followers to people rebuilding cars from scratch with 1M followers to MrBeast.

My own recommendations feed is basically just cooking, hiking, photo, animal videos.

It still works well in terms of discovering content. Most of the channels I follow I found on YouTube. Just recently one of the streamers I watched hit 100k (I remember him at 2000).

Since I started using Claude Code I mostly used it for new side projects and were too afraid of giving it access to my blog. I designed and coded the theme and everything myself so I could understand the code fully and was afraid of losing it.

But Claude Code allowed me to fix a few annoying things, finally convert my Hugo setup to page bundles, and then deal with image conversions, which I failed to do on my own a few years ago. It was fantastic.

Ideally, they'd require OS (desktop and mobile) to have an adult mode and a restricted mode (set up by the adults when they buy the device), and then let third-party apps confirm the status (e.g., age) in the latter case. Then you have minimal privacy issues and many parents actually want something like this.

yes pretty much
