That's a little ungenerous. Richer types are not intrinsically about metaprogramming, they just let you model your domain more accurately so you can turn runtime errors into build-time errors. If your system already has natural constra

The alternative is that they monetize it the same way Canva monetizes its other products: most features free, "pro" subscription for online collaboration/server-driven stuff and a library of stock content. Plus an enterprise

I suspect Canva is willing to offer Affinity for free because it holds Adobe's feet to the fire and forces them to compete on Canva's home turf: the nonprofessional design market. There's clearly a funnel for Canva Pro upgrad

I think it's simpler than that. Canva's primary competitor is Adobe, and Adobe's remaining advantage is with creative professionals. That's Adobe's core market and their core revenue stream. It's a classic &quo

Furries tend to be high in curiosity, high in trait-openness, and lower in social conformance. It's a good recipe for learning, thinking and questioning.

This isn't proposing a standard, it's a new framework which takes inspiration from the other mentioned projects, while choosing a different set of trade-offs. This is just what it looks like when people try new stuff, and I don&#x

Well that tells me the rough cultural area alt187 might be pointing to, but I could use some more clarity. Are you saying that pronouns/transgender/queerness are the ideology? Or are you showing them as shibboleths of a broader

One really nice thing about using LLMs as components is that they just generate text . We've taught them to sometimes issue JSON messages representing a structured query or command, but it still comes out of the thing as text; the mod

It seems more likely that they cherry-picked favorable examples showing a clear progression, rather than just falsifying the content. Even in these comments, there's a fair bit of disagreement about whether they show do show monotoni

It didn't lose all meaning, it just became more difficult to stereotype. The diagnostic criteria for ASD are about its impact on the individual, not how it superficially presents to other people. The DSM-V combined together a bunch of

The first `await` is waiting for the response-headers to arrive, so you know the status code and can decide what to do next. The second `await` is waiting for the full body to arrive (and get parsed as JSON). It's designed that way to
