How to Count Videos in a YouTube Playlist Without Scrolling

·1 views

Many users want to know how many videos a YouTube playlist holds, especially for long courses or large music collections. The simplest method is to read the video count YouTube displays near the playlist title, which works well for most public playlists. That count can be misleading, however, because it includes entries that were deleted, made private, or blocked in your region. Online tools such as a playlist counter can help inspect a playlist by pasting its URL, and a deleted-video finder can identify unavailable entries. Public playlists can be checked without owning them, while private playlists remain restricted to authorized users.

Docker 'no such file or directory' error often caused by Windows CRLF line endings

A common Docker error reports that an entrypoint script is missing even when the file is clearly present in the image. The message is misleading: the kernel is looking for an interpreter named with a trailing carriage return, which comes from CRLF line endings in a script checked out on Windows. The article recommends forcing LF endings through a .gitattributes rule, converting the editor setting, or stripping carriage returns with sed during the image build. Two related errors are also covered: 'permission denied' caused by a missing execute bit, fixable with COPY --chmod=755, and 'executable file not found' when a shell like bash is absent from a minimal Alpine image. Simple diagnostic commands are suggested to check line endings and file permissions inside the container.

Choosing a Queue Service for Rate-Limited Property Renewal Reminders

A developer writes about designing renewal reminder delivery for a property-management system, where reminders must be sent after a review date while respecting a downstream rate limit. The author argues that the queue choice should follow from defined failure boundaries, since a lost delayed job is a business failure and a duplicate reminder erodes trust. The piece separates the business eligibility clock from the delivery clock governed by rate limits, and notes that rate limiters must be shared across workers rather than held in one process's memory. It compares Redis-backed queues, AMQP brokers, and managed cloud queues by recovery behavior rather than features, noting that each has different acknowledgement and retry semantics. The author also stresses that a provider timeout does not prove non-delivery, so idempotency keys or reconciliation state are needed.

A Beginner's Guide to Old English, the Language of Anglo-Saxon England

Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon, was spoken in England from about 450 to 1150 AD and is the ancestor of modern English. Its grammar differs considerably, featuring grammatical gender and case endings similar to German, as shown by comparing a modern sentence with its Old English equivalent. The article explains special letters such as thorn, eth, ash, and wynn, and notes that Anglo-Saxons also used the Futhorc runic alphabet before Latin letters became dominant. It introduces a free online translation tool for converting modern English into Old English, but cautions that automatic translation of a dead language is approximate. The author advises consulting a scholar or a dictionary such as Bosworth-Toller before using any translation permanently, such as in a tattoo.

Conversion Rate Rose 159%, Not 1.23%: A Percentage Mix-Up in a KPI Report

A weekly KPI email reported a conversion rate increase of +1.23%, even though conversions had roughly doubled after a release. The figure was percentage points, while the growth lead expected relative change, and the email did not specify which one. The correct relative lift was about 159.3%, moving from a 0.77% to a 1.99% conversion rate. The author now uses Python's decimal module with explicit rounding and clearly labeled helper functions for percentage calculations, including in the Node.js API.
