Yeah maybe some workplaces are starting to get more organized but in general there's teams with anti-LLM engineers still and some that have Claude Code running all day.
Singapore is an effective slave/permanent underclass state with few personal freedoms that is ethnically and culturally homogeneous (in each class). Not trying to do a "who's the bad/good country" but nothing about it really applies to the US or should.
The Netflix DVD service were such a boon to my family and I during its heyday.
We're not native English speakers, and often (even now!) streaming sites don't have Spanish subtitles unless it's a blockbuster movie or show. DVDs always had Spanish subtitles, or at least it was easy to check if they did.
As for me, they let me explore all kinds of film before I discovered torrenting (and even after, for convenience). People remember 2010s Netflix for having everything on streaming, but the DVD service actually had everything! Criterion films, foreign films, random compilations of experimental film. A lot of went over my head but shaped who I am now.
And yeah in an age where almost every online delivery took almost a week, watching a Netflix DVD and getting a new one two or three days later was great.
I don't know. There's definitely fewer serious novels of a certain kind being published, and movies that aren't special effect spectacles tend to flop or go straight to streaming (for now).
> I partially blame every tutorial and contrived example of how you should use Redux.
Partially? No. The culture of side projects/GitHub/blog post had led people to over engineer their learning materials and side projects to look as employable as possible. Why make a todo list with just React when you can use Redux in it too and put it in your resume?
