what's a desktop? /s

I first read the artist's reply as "you know all art is stolen, right" which made more sense to me. If you look at the history of art, you'd also know that it's true.

I think the person you replied to agrees with you, and was just being snark

As great an alternative as a car is to a unicycle

What does one have to do with the other? React may have helped you with your career but that doesn't mean it can't be a monstruosity

The problems some people have, I swear... I busted out laughing reading that some people cough trying to cover the sound of shit hitting the water. I thought that was just '90 bad comedy tropes.

How do I solve this "problem"? Simple, it's absolutely no problem at all.

Who the hell cares that your coworkers hear you taking a shit? Guess what, they also take shits and their asses make the same noises, do all of them cover it up in such ridiculous ways? Until today, I didn't even think this was even a problem.

...that's what he was saying? What do we need crypto for if it has the same drawbacks as cash? (and also others on the side, like huge fees)

I tried it but it only moved the cursor...

Kidding! Cool trick and ux.

Ah yes, apple music, the pinnacle of computing and benchmark by which to judge all professional-level personal computers.

I think that was his one of his points.

What about the inverse? How fun would it be if on the internet you could only order an arbitrary number of a digital product, like an ebook? For example "only 1000 people can order this [infinitely copyable, but digitally restricted] book".

As opposed to the same repeated boring non-arguments that proponents make to justify their investment?

> I'd like to be more precise in this case and say that an NFT is an ability to prove original ownership.

It doesn't even do that. See: all artists whose work was stolen and sold as NFTs

I thought your point was that you can choose who has access to your data, which is the opposite of what I've just told you?

Because you might just need that dialog to edit an entry in a table?

Except, we already have decades of research into general purpose decentralized databases that aren't tied to shitcoins.

>I'd be glad to pay a penny (or a fraction of it) for each comment on HN or whatever and have it fund the network (server hosting, staff, etc). Much better than the current alternative.

Really? You'd prefer to pay for every single interaction on the web rather than be served an ad that you can block by the way anytime?

What about people that don't have the luxury to throw away their money like that, should the internet exclude poor people from participating?

> "It's your data, and you decide who has access to it. "

Sure, except everybody has access to read the blockchain.

It hasn't been overcome in 15 years but they will fix it soon. Sure...

Software isn't some magic that can wish away its shorcomings.

Also, do you think the next instagram that will most like support its own crypto will allow you to switch to a different crypto?

ETA: the transaction cost is based on the cryptocurrency, so if now the cost per transaction is 1 cent then in 10 years it might cost 10 dollars if the value of the coin goes up.

yeah but this demo doesn't rely on some shitcoin

indeed, that's what it means when people say it's paywalled

Thank you so much for these resources!

That spanish channel is so awesome!

Do you have any resources for something similar in Dutch?

I don't think it's fair to put Poland and Hungary in that basket. It's not like they were like this when they joined the EU. They slowly drifted towards anti-EU sentiment over the years thanks to populist politicians. The same can happen to any country. The same happend to Britain.

Adding loads of new syntax is easy. Now removing the GIL on the other hand...

Sometimes it even requires MORE lines of code than before, check out the last "improvement" from the article, the sentinels

What if a newcomer wants to make sense of a large codebase that uses all the new features?

It used to be that Python was mostly similar to pseudocode, easy to understand and reason about. Now all this "syntactic sugar" just makes it harder to read IMO.

If you think this is the same as "old html and php again" then you haven't understood the article.

Also, let's not talk about when you buy a product (that you would usually only buy once or once every couple years or so) and then you get bombarded with ads for the same type of product for weeks on end.

Like, I'm not collecting fridges, I just bought one.

Sorry, those are not example of targeted ads.

A targeted ad is one that knows more about you than your age range, gender and what you are currently looking at (sports event, cooking site etc.).

A targeted ad knows that you usually buy tickets to a certain sports team, or you prefer baking cookies rather than cakes, and that you prefer the "Mestle" brand of flour etc.
