What is it you struggle most with? The type of questions? The time pressure? Anxiety?

I guess the CTO saw you as a threat to his position.

They want people to pay for premium. That’s why they’re pushing more ads. To make the free plan insufferable.

I’m not going to commit suicide because of YouTube premium

You know this won’t happen, but I like your optimism

In this case I used notepad because it was a fresh Windows install on some VM.

I’ve asked GPT4 to write specific Python programs, and more often than not it does a good job. And if the program is incorrect I can tell it about the error and it will often manage to fix it for me.

Professionally, I’ve worked with Python, C++, C# and Java. Also briefly a little bit of Perl.

Outside work, I’ve also done JavaScript, Go and Haskell.

There are many more languages I’ve played around with, but I don’t want to list them all.

Spotify also includes lyrics. It’s just not in free tier anymore.

Hate to break it to you, but most users are that dumb.

One time I struggled debugging a program on a clean Windows machine. For some reason it seemed like it couldn’t find a JSON file that’s obviously in the system. I could even open the file on my own and view its contents.

Turns out after much frustration that the file was actually a json.txt file. I didn’t notice because the extension was hidden, so I only saw .json and thought it was fine.

That wasn’t real communism. Everybody’s equal under real communism.

Hetero people would get executed too!

Great, then you agree that stealing is bad.

Authors have the right to be compensated for their work. There are many things that are wrong with current copyright, but denying artists compensation for their work is not the way.

Wouldn’t you also be mad if your salary was denied?

How is distributing artist’s work freely without compensation or their permission helping them?

Stir up the hornets nest by freely distributing copyrighted physical media. The only outcome is that they will get stung.

I engaged with one I matched on Tinder. We chatted for a few days. Once they started talking about helping me with cryptocurrency investments, I connected the dots and ended it there.

What made me take longer to realize is that we had a brief video call, where I could clearly see it was the same girl as the photos. But apparently this is a part of the scam.

So you’re not safe even after video chats anymore.

The only change that will come out of this is that IA will pay a huge bill. They’re too small to even make a nudge to the copyright laws.

I just hope this pointless move won’t bring down the wayback machine.

I fully agree with that, but that’s not going to help Internet Archive

In court you’re defending that you didn’t break the law. They have no such defense. You can’t just play Calvinball in court.
