I was looking at South Africa's biggest annual developer survey today, and lo and behold some are using it for coding work. I would assume it's people who pay for Twitter pro or whatever it's called getting Grok as part of th

Although I think "pure" is alright to use in this context, I would probably have gone with "beautifully simple".

I'm from SA and I knew about IBM and the Holocaust, but not Apartheid. Thanks for putting me onto that.

I heard a very small one somewhere that really isn't meant to get them, through a TV show in earbuds. Perhaps the volume has something to do with what's happening beneath the surface vs magnitude? In our case, as far as I know, th

Blanking on a source right now, but I recall reading about a study on the 'oldness' of languages and found that the unique sort of phonetics in !Kung and other Khoe or San languages appeared to reduce over time, and simpler hard c

Spent a few months writing a pretty hefty Cqrs app in Go last year, had a fun but pretty unintuitive experience with rustlingss, and V really does seem like a cool in between! I look forward to taking it for a spin

I had always assumed it was due to Brendan Eich being the face of the project. Or the built-in adblocking. It's my preference for these reasons as a chromium default - I don't know anyone using Brave who touches the crypto stuff.

maybe give it another shot? I wasn't able to replicate the issue but haven't seen anyone else have it

yeah this is what I was referring to, thanks

This is very cool, hadn't heard of it before. Thanks.

Glad you're enjoying it, always open to nitpicky feedback. I'll put all of these suggestions on the backlog and see how they play together - thanks!

Thank you! That's super cool - I'm not nearly as familiar with data science as it sounds you are, I've just made some choice placements in building a UI around the Spotify API. They're hiding the nuts and bolts of turnin

If I understand correctly, what I'm getting back from their API is basically what lies between, but without any of the interesting data they're using the do the calculation. One can hope, but I'd imagine that data is priceles

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Sign-in and saving to a profile was the most requested feature across the board when I previously launched Selecta, and as such it needs access to enable features that were requested by those who enjoyed using

If you still want to give it a shot, you shouldn't need an active subscription for it to work. But I do totally get moving away from the streaming world. Even bandcamp is losing its ground as a safe a haven for making sure artists are

Thanks for giving it a try - I'll take a shot at that one.

They really can be terrible sometimes. I loved last.fm too - still sporadically scrobbling at https://www.last.fm/user/Knightspore . But today my profile mostly serves as a record of music I had come across more 'o

I don't think a brand change can make anything better or worse. It's just a lick of paint. Sure, the changes that come along with a brand change may change things for the better - but I'm sure we can all agree with that invol

How exactly does changing a logo (in one, messy looking place not to mention - not anywhere else yet) lead even in the slightest to "making twitter better than he found it"?

If your idea is truly something that could have such big effects, I'd say the ethical thing to do would be to document and share it widely, so that any individuals from cartels to lawmakers, agencies, drug research centre's etc. c

Yeah I suppose that's the exact point I try to make in the article - tailwind isn't promising to make you skilled or a good designer (neither is css). It's simply offering a simpler way to work with componentized css

Proton is really quite incredible as a compatibility layer, I've not seen any performance drops (if anything, only small performance gains, which I assume is due to fewer background processes in the OS), but most incredible is the freq
