I guess the problem is that the author has brought it up in the article. Race has no place in this article and yet it's there.

Those arguments apply to Python as well. There is nothing special about Julia that warrants your arguments.

Yes, but if Banksy himself advertises the auction and provides the proof that the NFT is issue by him, then there is no confusion. Imagine if Banksy interviews with CNN and advertises his auction. Or Youtube or in person in an event. Beep

We need to fix the loop holes. Money is also an amazing instrument that keeps us motivated. Without the lure of money and its power, we wouldn’t do anything. Startups? Why bother when there is no money involved. I really think if there was

Some problems: a has a larger aperture than c, s, C, S, e, etc. f, t have unusually sharp overhangs but that's the style you're going for. I am not a fan of IBM's Plex's sharp corners either because it ruins the texture

I have a pet peeve about font licensing. Typographers struggle to make a living in most cases, but yet they don't offer better font licenses. I don't understand why they don't make it simple single license term for all usecas

Logomark and Logotype are two aspects of Logos. Some companies decide to do both, some only one. Regardless, the purpose of a logo is to discern and identify amongst thousands of other similar looking logos. I lean towards Logomarks (Nike,

Don't Google and disregard all advice here - find a good graphics designer at your local artist directory, college or club. Here in USA, it is AIGA and a number of colleges. Find competitions or contests for graphcis design where they

If we follow your logic, why not just stop dealing with Germany and the Germans all together? Tolerance and forgiveness is a value we need embrace. You should ask yourself if anyone at IBM today supports the holocaust.

It’s unfair to compare a college course to traditional TV media. College courses in the 80’s were similar to Coursera too. I urge you to watch news channels from the 80s. Literally every TV media was degraded from Discovery channel to Histo

NFT's are a weird thing, it is half scammy (practicality) and half useful (ownership, non-fungibility of the token itself). I am reading up on the NFT standards (ERC721 is the simplest one) [1] and this is the core contract API: co

Pay attention to how clearly information was presented in those days. I've not come across any media today that can present information in systematic and concise manner without trying hard to grab my attention, perhaps a handful of YT

I am appalled at the level of discussion here. Nationalism, both from EU, US and UK side is tiring, this flame war needs to be shut down. This not what HN is for folks.

Oh I remember when video games used to be shipped in that they had to finish everything. No patches later. It’s going to get burned on the ROM and off it goes sailing to their customers. Now a days, shipping to me evokes “Fuck it, ship this

I like those better. Craft is great as well.

I am not a fan of the term "ship", similar to "sell". It's a horrible term. It evokes the image of a frantic imprudent developer churning away at ball of mud trying to meet their shipping metrics and feature bloat t

It is actually fast though. Just doesn't produce coherent design over time and creates a huge mess where design langauge is intertwined in symantic layout. Hey, wasn't that the original intent of HTML+CSS? To isolate markup an

Taiwind CSS is how you get incoherent overall design. Each element is customized to "look" nice but there is no overall architecture and design system. Padding here and padding there, this bold and that bold - visually tuning the

Tough question: Isn't baldness a genetic trait just like the pigment of the skin? Are you X% less attractive if you have a certain pigment of the skin? Person's baldness was given to them at birth. They had no say in it just like

For me, slides are like art. I make slides with graphics, with weird arrows, boxes and call outs, images tiled in a particular way, and many custom things. They're more graphical than textual because slides aren't about people rea

This is research in the form of bike shedding. Let’s talk about how the bike shed is going to look for a nuclear power plant. CO2 impact for stuff like this - we probably have bigger fish to fry.

Thanks, I read your comment in its entirety. I think we need more people like you. Disagreements about issues and these things happen all the time. My fear was founded in the fact that people perceive me as either 1) Faking as a non-white p

That's a good point. May be we need ways to have a common person without a huge media presence have a way to voice their concerns of racism. Since media cannot cover thousands of individual cases, there should be legal avenues without
