I honestly don't get the outrage. The main complaint (setting aside the preamble about bugs and feature delays) is that Juan (creator of Godot engine) raised $8.5 million for his company W4 Games and is now asking for donations to supp

> You can’t just limit the check to private subs because it’s not known if they are private or not at the time. That's not necessarily true. Perhaps the status of subreddits is cached (because there's no reason to hit the DB 10

Sure, but that type of traffic is expected and they can handle it with things like caching and autoscaling. I'm suggesting that a part of the system that usually doesn't get a lot of requests wasn't designed to handle a huge

Wild guess: visiting a private sub requires an extra call to a service/db to check if the user can view it. Normally there are only a small number of these checks because private subs were usually small communities. Now, many large sub

Fair enough on the social activity aspect. So why is "upvote your fellow counting comrades" rule #1?

by jallen_dot_dev 3y ago
I know they're just Internet points but they are supposed to serve as a social signal that somebody has contributed (meaningful) content. Also some subreddits require a certain amount of karma to post. And finally, this activity is jus

I'm sorry, as a large language model I cannot discuss The Patriots.

> ETIQUETTE: > 1. If you're counting, upvote your fellow counting comrades. Looks like a voting ring for farming karma. Not sure why reddit allows it.

Not only that, but when they're here on Earth they get from point A to point B by actually traveling the distance through the air. Slow enough for us to see. You'd think these aliens with FTL technology would just appear to us as

Technically the thing you hold and use is a transaction output, and once an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is spent it can't be spent again. So from that perspective it is consumed!

If you read the article, it's clear the mom wasn't familiar with the game let alone spends money on it herself. She said the game looked "innocent" and "very basic."

Not to mention pretty much anything these days can be reduced down to "flipping a bit." As a software developer I flip bits for my employer, and in exchange, they tell my bank to flip some bits in their DB.

It's not clear to me that the new "loom" won't just operate itself completely. That's the problem with comparing this to previous tech advances. Past advances made people much more efficient at some task, but it sti

It can learn from it's own users. People paste their code into GPT for context, so it'll see new patterns that way. People paste the error message that results from some bad code GPT spit out, it learns from context plus the error

It doesn't take 4 hours to code review a few lines of code for generating random QR codes.

It's simple: they thought they could later sell it for more. Celebrities hawking it is "bullish" because other people (suckers) will see the hype and want to buy their bags. Unfortunately for them, they were the suckers.

How is it person to person if there's a 3rd party facilitating the transaction? Why should someone be guaranteed to keep the money if they got it fraudulently, with the victim unable to dispute?
