Copyright ByteDance? Ouch
Surely Spotify wouldn't be able to publish if it wasn't paying $100/year fee to Apple. I guess $100 is nothing to Apple.
I had a similar offer but I had a gut feeling it wasn't a good idea at the time and I feel somewhat vindicated by the comments in this thread.

Looks like the Guardian have already amended the temperature differences in the article in question according to the footnote: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/17/malawi-swelter...

Looks great! What this now needs is a nice Web UI and also convince major players to adopt it. It would be in their interest to assure users that they can take their data with them (even though most people probably wouldn't).

My two pence: It’s not a very sexy name for a language compared to the competition.
It should be priced at the maximum value someone is willing to pay for it… and naturally in market economy it often will. The Artist needs to also make a living and not all of their artwork will sell at earth shattering prices. It seems just as arbitrary to limit the price of the item to a fraction of the value of a single item. I do wish more art was auctioned rather than come with a fixed price tag to make the market more fluid and less egotistical.
Hmm would be great if it was mobile friendly, the keyboard did not show up at all.
Probably easier to stick to bash rather than learn a new set of commands from scratch. Also bash commands are universally available whereas this needs to be installed first which is not always that straightforward. Also python is slower at some of the examples than compiled executables.

Amazing that they have a page on their position against suicide https://www.heavensgate.com/misc/letter.htm. Non-spoiler alert: it’s exactly what you might expect.

What the hell is happening past the point of 2k where the ball remains in the centre? Is it all happening too fast for my tiny brain to comprehend?
Re:Safest mushrooms to forage and eat on Saturday January 01, 2022 @06:04PM (#29763813)
I have never learnt more about mushrooms than I did after reading this article followed by discussion on HN. Any visual mushroom foraging books anyone would recommend for the UK?

Re:Pyheatmagic: Profile and view your Python code as a heat map on Thursday November 04, 2021 @01:50PM (#29110374)
I think it warrants an explaination of what py-heat is rather than assuming that the reader knows.
Re:Pyheatmagic: Profile and view your Python code as a heat map on Wednesday November 03, 2021 @02:55AM (#29091793)
It is not explained anywhere what the heat map is of… is it the age of the line or the number of commits? Is this configurable or what?
Appreciate the old reddit url, so much more readable imo.

By that logic, buying a piece of land or real estate or gold is a ponzu scheme.
Re:Hmsklt – App to help friends form deeper relationships on Tuesday September 21, 2021 @12:57PM (#28607054)
I wonder if this app is trying to capitalise on exclusivity of a new social network that Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat once provided?
