I switched to this YouTube client and I’m never going back

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-03 16:30:19

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority YouTube has been a part of my life since its early days in the late 00s. It’s no secret that today’s YouTube is a far cry from what it used to be. YouTube was free back then; free from subscriptions, free from ads, even free from terrible video suggestions. It was raw and real. Now when we open the app we’re bombarded with pop-ups and ads and the algorithm is awful at surfacing stuff we want to watch. So like many of you, I went searching for a replacement.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been years since I last tried to pair a Bluetooth or USB keyboard with my Android phone. After being a physical QWERTY proponent for years and hating on touchscreen typing, I wholly but slowly embraced pecking on a glass surface. There were a few times I wished I had a keyboard for my Android tablets, but it wasn’t frequent enough to make me pay for one. That changed a few weeks ago when I started testing the Clicks Keyboard with my Pixel 9 Pro, which is

Virtual 6NF

news.ycombinator.com Alexey Makhotkin 2025-12-03 15:18:58

One of the goals of this substack is to research ways of removing historical cruft from the way relational model is taught. One thing that puzzles me particularly is why Sixth Normal Form (6NF) is historically treated so... reverently? Lots of texts on the internet consider 6NF to be “exotic”, “academic”, “never used in practice”, etc., etc. As software developers, we can solve any problem by adding one level of abstraction, and database modeling is not an exception.

But ask generative AI to solve one of those puzzles in the back of a newspaper, and things can quickly go off the rails.
