It’s tough to compete with free things like https://hatchful.shopify.com because social media logos are included and don’t cost $49. Not sure if the result logos are intentionally blurry, but that definitely needs to be fixed. Y

Hmmm, interesting. Set mine up no problem on a Mac about 9 months ago, but I suppose I might have gotten lucky.

Hanging out on HN is a good start. If you spend time doing a lot of OOP at school, try learning a Functional language. It’s a great paradigm that will improve your general programming style. Learn a language by making something interesting,

Unpopular quote from my image and video processing professor - “The only problem with machine learning is that the machine does the learning and you don’t.” While I understand that is missing a lot of nuance, it has stuck with me over the p

Yeah, that makes sense why it’s in the article. As much as people hate DRM, I can’t see a way for Netflix to be offered for the same price and content selection if the users were able to own the content indefinitely. It seems like it would
