A lot of industries, despite being "tech", are still just using computers to "push paper". That means a true technical person can often automate these jobs. It's real and it does happen. The thing is... most people

I think it's pretty clear that it is malice. But to your question - I suppose I agree. I don't think society usually tries to help malignant people whether or not it stems from mental health issues or not. We tend to focus more on

Craig Wright is a patent troll, a narcissist, and a sociopath. It's amazing how far he has been able to take this grift. Part of it is that he has been able to adopt this unwavering character and not break it for years.... something a

The cost is simply not worth the value, but some state/community schools are more affordable.

I used to have panic attacks a few times a week. Ever since I quit coffee, it's maybe few times per year. I wasn't a heavy coffee drinker either, just 1 per day on most days, sometimes 2.

My understanding is that the point of unions in tech is for people to band together to stand up for those that might be under-represented. It's like the ultimate diversity/inclusion initiative.

Great cast too :)

In my experience the movie did a pretty good job of capturing the fun of being a "hacker kid" growing up in NYC in the 90's.

Only when it sprung a leak. Funny enough, there were a few of us that would go hang out on the roof. The stairs were gated, but it was the kind of gate you could reach your arm through and open on the other side. It's a big school thou

I think you should give Hackers a chance... it is silly and full of hollywood tropes, but it definitely captures the hacker culture of city hacker kids in the 90's. I also think the film pays homage to well known hackers from the 80&#x

Anecdotal stories don't paint an accurate picture. I live in NYC and had Covid xmas week. It was ROUGH. (I'm double jabbed.) I also know unvaxxed people (0 shots) that just had a little sniffle and bounced back in 2 days. I also k

Great analogy! Oh wait, it's not and your comment offers nothing of substance to the conversation.

I mostly agree, though I think the other movies are fun. But the Animatrix was so ahead of its time. Now Netflix has love, death, & robots - which to me seems directly inspired.

I think "The Animatrix" has some really cool stories that support these multiple concepts.

This doesn't happen though. The money comes from brands, and brands are hungry to spend it. They don't really care about return on the dollar either.

As long as Google has search ads, they have granular targeting at their disposal.

"Having it or not having it" is completely divorced from having a successful career in art. I suppose what having a successful career means is subjective, but realistically, if you don't have art school pedigree, then you&#x2

If you just want a hobby, then do art as a hobby have fun. For the most part, ascension in the "art world" starts at a young age with going to art school and following what is a traditional and boring path.

by twox2 5y ago
Yeah, I hear you, but I suppose it comes with the territory. You can try to curate your social media experience by not following/muting folks, but if you're into art I think you will have a hard time avoiding NFTs. I've notic

I second p5js. Try Dan Shifman's "The Coding Train" videos on youtube.

by twox2 5y ago
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. The thing is, when folks typically buy art it's either because they connect with the artist, the piece, or the time and place. This doesn't happen very often, even for great artists. With NFT

The irony is that this is the top comment, so it is in fact a mention of generative art followed by the mention of NFTs.

That's rough, and I'm sorry to hear that about your colleague. No one is beyond developing mental health issues in trying times... but do you think it would have saved him if he had to come into the office once a week? I have my d

Governments are not known to relinquish control once a new baseline of normal is established... so it does seem that they are adapting to new information only when it serves a certain agenda.

Or they reimburse the consultant when they procure their own dedicated laptop for the client's work.

Yeah, after lurking in r/wallstreetbets, the crypto stuff seems safe and sound in comparison.

As an aside... if you're interested in this stuff I recommend Dan Shifman's book "The Nature of Code" and his youtube channel.

So.... a script to headlessly render a p5js sketch?
149.
by twox2 5y ago
Yep, I think we are in agreement. It's a buyer beware kind of thing for collectors of NFTs to do their own diligence if they care about these details. I do love the on chain projects though and the budding generative art scene. For exa

Indeed, I'm one of those folks to some extent. I've made good money from crypto. I'm not here to downplay the issues, in fact I admit there are MANY issues. That doesn't mean I brush off the whole thing as a scam or a po
