I assume it's the standard inertia-type reasons: doing nothing is easier than changing a bunch of stuff, not changing involves fewer unknowns, and they probably have ad blockers and custom rules that mean they don't personally have to deal with the worst of it.

It's long running, so you want a database so you can store your state. If you're storing state, locking it into a state machine makes sense.
I do agree with some of the commenters that making it closer to an event source design would make more sense still.

I used to run a plugin on my Kodi that would make TV-style channels based on the original airing channel, complete with EPG and everything.
However, it wouldn't let you add lists of shows and create channels that way. I never got around to making my version, but perhaps someone else has done the work since then.

I was wondering if it was something like the first word of every task they did, but then I remembered they don't do them in the same order (and some don't get shown to us at all). So perhaps it is just a secret envelope somewhere in the house (like behind the Metropolis Greg painting).

I think the author's intended implication is absolutely that it's a dollar because the USA invented the computer. The two problems I have is that:
- He's talking about the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, not computers at that point
- Brits or Germans invented the computer (although I can't deny that most of today's commercial computers trace back to the US)
It's just a lazy bit of thinking in an otherwise excellent and internationally-minded article and so it stuck out to me too.

The stupid thing is, all the author had to do was write "kind of tells you who invented ASCII" and he'd have been 100% right in his logic and history.

AI summary: > The article explores whether winning a fight on the pitch can help a team achieve victory. Some players believe winning a physical altercation can change the momentum of a match. A famous rugby fight between the Lions and Wallabies in 1989 is cited as an example, with the Lions going on to win the series. Studies of hockey data found that winning fights did not predict momentum shifts or scoring the next goal. However, a judo study found winners of bronze medal matches that followed losses in earlier rounds won 69% of the time, indicating psychological momentum. This effect was only seen in men and likely due to increases in testosterone levels following victory. While fights may energize individual players like in judo, their impact is diluted in team sports. The persistence of the momentum narrative helps fighting players preserve their status despite evidence against its influence. Ultimately, the story we tell ourselves about what shifts momentum is not always correct.

Hi all, I got in touch with the admin and he's alive but snowed under. As you may know, there's been a few update attempts that have failed, which is why we're still on v0.17.4. [@admin@lemmyrs.org](https://lemmyrs.org/u/admin)'s reply follows: > I am aware of the concerns rightfully raised by the community on lemmyrs, I'm at a loss to be honest since I cannot dedicate the time and resource to upgrade the instance to the latest version without a) significant down time b) potential loss/corruption of the existing database. > I'm not sure if I've made you admin but I'd appreciate if you could relay this information to the community on lemmyrs. My personal (and professional) life have been...chaotic to say the least which is why I haven't been able to make any thoughtful update on lemmyrs. > I'm going to try again this coming weekend to upgrade lemmyrs over to whatever is the latest version of lemmy is (I'm not hopeful though since many of my attempts have ended in failure to do so). > The server is back up and running fwiw.
cross-posted from: https://lemmyrs.org/post/257873 > This seems like something that should be true, but I think I remember seeing a Mythbusters episode where they decided it didn't make a difference. That show was more about entertainment than science, so I wondered if there was a more rigorous study done? I've definitely seen splashes of water(?) come out from flushes so that alone seems to argue for closing lids.
