Well, it's definitely a judgement call.

I think most "serious" Tetris players can get to 30 easily in a short amount of time, right? Like 15-20 minutes? It'd be hard to think of that as a legitimate "ending."

Whereas a run to level 100+ or whatever for this kill screen is a major achievement. Took people 30+ years to get there.

I don't know, though. It's all subjective. If you want to think of a hypothetical lvl 30 crash as a "kill screen" or "ending" then hey... go for it.

Um, it wasn’t until 2011 before the first person achieved level 30, as the video mentions fairly early on

Isn't stylex with Typescript type-safe, also? (Which makes various typos and mistakes at least visible in tooling.) Does Tailwind have an equivalent?
mgerullis · 2 years ago
I use autocomplete and headwind which is more or less just a VSCode plugin to sort the classes. Been very happy with that setup, albeit not “real” type safety

Is this for some sort of low end secretarial job where industry does not matter? Or are these fake applications just to test this?

idk these shotgun job searches always blow my mind. 250? Think I’ve applied to maybe 8 jobs in my life

Author mentions applying to engineering roles

2.5 minutes to apply seems very fast. What does it entail? Surely not the compilation of the entries, I need more than a minute to read a job posting in detail.

I wish they would have just stuck with tailwind which is capable of producing the same results, has great adoption, good docs and active development, without having to roll your own everything over and over again, as is common with css libs.

I'm in the camp of those who think Google's results are still very good. I admit I use adblock (uBlock Origin) and won't even try to disable it.

I understand the author's point of turning off their ad blocker "to get the non-expert browsing experience" but then they could make a different test with uBlock on for every query and see how it goes.

It's also a bit inconsistent to expect results for downloading videos mentioning yt-dlp while trying to emulate "the non-expert browsing experience"... Yt-dlp is a command-line Python utility. Talk about non-expert! Most people don't know that videos are files that can be downloaded; of those who do, most don't know about the command line or Python.

Yet when searching for "how to download youtube videos" the first result I get on Google is a link to a service called "savefrom.net", which appears to work well and does not seem to be a scam. This would qualify as "very good" in my book.

When searching for "how to download youtube videos from the command line" the first few results are about youtube-dl, including links to github and superuser. Granted they don't mention yt-dlp, but youtube-dl is a good start.

Yeah, author seems to heavily underestimate his own needs vs general needs. But for what Google et al know about me the results could indeed be more precise. I have developed a habit of appending “GitHub” in the search query for when I am actually looking for source code vs just trying to find a page that just downloads me a video.

Yep, same. Yelp is not nearly as good in Apple Maps but for in town directions it works great for me.
mgerullis · 2 years ago
You use yelp for directions?
