ChatGPT is available for free - you can find out for yourself! It won't generate music for you (yet). Depending on your phrasing and how outlandish the request is, it might give you suggestions of actual bands to go check out or it may

What are you talking about? A "yaml formatted string" is just a string. And the Costco shareholder meeting notes/ballots that the GP posted is not YAML either, it's a pdf.

The Columbia logo on this craft is both. They're advertising the brand in a very cool and unique way AND they contributed significant heat shield technology to the craft itself.

Seems like everyone here is running an Adblocker! The post uses Disqus for comments and has the built-in (garbage) ads enabled. I think it's likely that the OP uses an adblocker too and never even saw the ads on his own site.

Nobody said the first example _isn't_ functional. The point is that function composition f(g(x)) is very common in a functional paradigm and many functional languages have added a Pipeline operator as syntactic sugar for this use case.

Apple knows that you want the app updates. They want you to update to the latest OS for a variety of reasons (support, security, marketing, etc). They also know you paid thousands of dollars for your laptop and aren't likely to switch

Of course they’re viable - millions of apps use them. The way you’re using "relations" here is not the same meaning as "relational database". You mean something more akin to "relationships" which you can do in

There are two Reddit APIs - the public REST API and a private GraphQL API which limits access. Third-party apps use the REST API and the Reddit website/app use GQL. For a hobby project you could maybe get away with scraping a GQL beare

I don't agree, but I imagine the mindset is "why would I hire someone who didn't make the cut and got laid off when I could poach somebody else that did make the cut at their company."

What would Taylor Swift do right now? I can rip all of her audio off of Spotify and use it in my movie without her permission even though she owns the music. She would try to stop me - maybe send a cease and desist, sue, or otherwise seek r

GraphQL can do anything that a REST API can do, it's just a different interface over HTTP at the end of the day. There's nothing that particularly links it to SQL or any other data store, though some tools might add that coupling,

Most people have no idea what "the norm" or "telemetry" even is so I highly doubt this would affect opt-in rates at all.

This is awesome! I've been hearing a lot of buzz recently about CSS variables but I haven't seen such a clean integration. I love the idea of exposing them in the style prop! The "single-source of style" idea also feels

What you describe sounds like more of a data modeling/integrity concern than a data consistency concern. A better example of a data consistency requirement is a SINGLE record that should be the same when 200 different users read it at

Fair enough if you disagree! Regarding actively marketing to law enforcement, is there any law enforcement use case that is not unethical? For example, if a facial recognition system is set up to only alert on faces that are listed in the I

While this might be the case in many businesses, physicians generally pay their own malpractice insurance (which can easily be more than $10k a year) out of pocket. The litigious nature of the medical system as a whole in America drives the
