| Question about youtube: Youtube video thumbnails abbreviates long

|
| For example: TALK / Mariatta Wijaya / Oops! I Became an Open..
|
| Is there a way to fix this?

| I'd fix it by skipping the talks and looking at the commit

| I think I'll finally start using type checking - it really seems

| Great! I am so glad more people see types as a useful tool.
| Personally I see it as essential, so I struggle to understand
| the mind set of people who do not want to use them. I
| understand that people think it feels like a lot of work, but
| that is like nothing compared to the 90% of time people who
| dont use types spend on reading logs and fixng the same issues
| every day. I assume people have some sort of amnesia and
| thinking <<oh the value was undefined, I have never seen THAT
| error before>>, but that is probably just me being bitter. So I
| was wondering, since you seem like a super-fresh converted;did
| you have any specific reservations originally, and whas there
| any specific type of solution to a issue that finally changed
| your mind?

| I think if you're a SWE or has a CS education or worked with
| a compiled language before, you know exactly what kind of
| problem typing is solving. For me, I have to first discover
| the problem, slowly learn that there is a solution out there,
| and finally realizing that my problem can be solved by this
| solution.
|
| The formalization of problem space + the discovery of
| solutions + the final realization of matching solutions to
| problems are non-trivial. I'm a bit embarrassed that it took
| so long and a bit sad. But it is what it is.
