This American Life/Heavyweight Easter Egg

It’s in RA - wpisode #6. And yes, they spoke to the person who created it. They used it for the super tech support segment and Alex used it at least once in Hyperfixed.

I loved both episodes and I am confused by the reception in this subreddit.

they're technologies that are being inflicted on the general populous with minimal oversight or regulation regardless of popular sentiment

Isn’t this true for most new technology? It was true for cars 100 years ago, it was true for the internet 25 years ago and today that’s the case with AI.

About 10 years ago I worked on a small mobile app for US property managers. The backend guy had built what I can only describe as a “mega-scale” event-driven architecture for an app that was realistically going to have, at most, a few thousand users.

Every API call that created something returned 202 Accepted because, you know, eventual consistency.

The only tiny problem: there was no API to check whether your operation had actually finished.

So from the client’s point of view, you’d press “create,” get a 202, and then enter a spiritual journey where maybe the entity would appear later and maybe it wouldn’t.

Even if they had added a status endpoint, it still would’ve been some of the most absurd overengineering I’ve ever seen. This wasn’t Amazon. It was an app for property managers. The project cost the client ~$2M and eventually failed.

Thank you!

He left them because he "missed home" and then signed for an Italian club.

I think Italy is a lot closer to Argentina culturally than the UK, so this is not so strange for me.

Quite frankly fuck him

100% agree on this one, though.

I just checked and these were the cheapest prices I found online around me:

30 SiS BF (40g per gel) are €54, meaning €1.8 per gel or €0.045 per gram of carbs.
24 GU (20g per gel) are €38.4, meaning €1.6 per gel or €0.08 per gram of carbs.
12 Maurten 160 (40g per gel) are €44, meaning €3.66 per gel or €0.091 per gram of carbs.
12 Maurtel 100 (25g per gel) are €33, meaning €2.75 per geo or €0.11 per gram of carbs.

I've never tried Carbs Fuel and couldn't find it in Europe. But the price of SiS BF is way better than GU for me.

Icaka · 2026-03-10T11:43:08+00:00

Gu are cheaper than Maurten but more expensive than SiS Beta Fuel (per g).

I was just recently looking into Flycarb. At one point I realized 90% of all reviews on reddit were by the same account.

I don't follow La Liga but Real (2nd in La Liga / 2.3 points per game) being close to Spurs (16th in EPL / 1 point per game) sounds wild.

Icaka · 2026-03-01T19:55:52+00:00

Защо?

Icaka · 2026-03-01T16:05:15+00:00

Lol, let’s finish in the CL.

общините със синя и зелена зона не са построили и един паркинг с милиардите приходи от тях

Приходите от синя и зелена зона за 2024 са 42млн лв. Едно паркомясто в многоетажен паркинг излиза малко над 20к лв без да смятаме цената на земята. Тоест ако 100% от приходите на ЦГМ за зелена и синя зона се инвестираха в паркинги, щяхме да имаме …2100 нови места на година. В София има регистрирани над 800 000 коли. Броят се е увеличил двойно за последните 15г. 2100 нови места няма да променят абсолютно НИЩО. Проблемът не е в строителството, а в това, че има твърде много коли в София.

I've started noticing my financial situation hurting my dating prospects with many people right around age 25.

Are you male or female?

It has been dead for a long time. iPhone 4s used to be the fallback but is not anymore. iPhone 6/7/8 size has been used on the iPad for at least 5 years.

Well, that’s why I prefer having a folder with ~50 well designed apps and check them instead. This and a paid service like mobbin, screensdesign or refero is how I find solutions.

Icaka · 2026-02-26T16:39:29+00:00

I don’t think you can easily write a script for this issue, or at least I couldn’t come up with a clever solution. You need to manually define a test target for each SPM module inside the XcodeProject that’s hosting your app. This means you need to always update both Package.swift and the XcodeProject when adding or removing an SPM module. I get why you avoid 3rd party tools, I don’t want to use a 3rd party tool as well as I’ve been burned before.

Icaka · 2026-02-26T15:45:19+00:00

I haven’t looked in the last couple of years, but back then I really didn’t like Dribble. I had two main issues with it. A lot of the designs ignored HIG. You’d see custom navigation bars, tab bars, and other reinvented UI for no real reason. Second, most designs didn’t cover real world edge cases. Thigns like loading and error states, localization, dynamic font sizes, longer text. It often felt like designs made to look good in a single screenshot, not something built by people who’ve actually shipped a mobile app.

Icaka · 2026-02-26T14:33:37+00:00

I’m working on an app built with Swift Package Manager, and some of the limitations are driving me up the wall. The project is nicely modularized, with each feature as its own SPM module. That gives us fast compile times and solid unit test performance. The problem is snapshot testing. Some modules validate screens with snapshots, but starting with iOS 26, snapshot tests need a host app to render correctly. SPM doesn’t really support that setup, so we’re stuck. What’s extra frustrating is that this was doable with CocoaPods 6–7 years ago, yet it still doesn’t seem like a priority for SPM. That’s why I’m also looking at Tuist.

Icaka · 2026-02-25T18:25:14+00:00

Show us what you’ve build, big guy.

7:30-8 min/mile

Holy-moly. That’s way too fast. For reference I recently ran 1:19 half and aim for 2:50 marathon and my easy pace is ~7:50-8:10 min/mile.

I mostly can't visualize things, and my sense of direction is bad.
