> I ment: „Poland gets money, Poland transforms it into more money”.

It's not trivial that this works. In Hungary we messed this up big time, hopefully it can get fixed now.

This is CSS dithering with "SVG backend" doing the heavy lifting by utilizing the feComposite filter

You can buy a used car and get it converted to electric.

Does JJ really prefer for me to think backwards? It wants me to start with the new and describe command, but with git I first make the changes and name the changeset at the end of the workflow.

I also often end up with in a dirty repo state with multiple changes belonging to separate features or abstractions. I usually just pick the changes I want to group into a commit and clean up the state.

Since it's git compatible, it feels like it must work to add files and keep files uncommitted, but just by reading this tutorial I'm unsure.

> How can you seriously think you've created something when you're just using someone else's software?

If you ever used a library you haven't written this is something you shouldn't take as surprising. Many people created innovative new products based on a heap of open source tools.

Creating a conscious AI should be a giant red flag, no doubt, but there's no reason we should rule it out just because the LLM part is not self trained.

Interesting, didn't know that

I fail to see why the author thinks Python packages are a good proxy for AI driven/built code. I've built a number of projects with AI, but I haven't created any new packages.

It's like looking at tire sales to wonder about where the EV cars are.

We can, but I'm really happy with it. Nobody forced it on me though.

Probably because they don't trust the OS shipped browser engine for small inconsistencies.

> We see that that’s a quite a long line. Mail servers don’t like that

Why do mail server care about how long a line is? Why don't they just let the client reading the mail worry about wrapping the lines?

Maybe the task is to make the changes to get this to work legally speaking.

It's probably the most complex and impossible to solve take, it's not even true in the US or any other place in the world.

It doesn't even work in a single country for the simple reason that governments have very different ideas how to redistribute taxes. If one country can't do it well, how could the EU?

> Have protests ever stopped the creation of a dictatorship, in history?

It sends a message to the less active people who might turn off news that somethings is ain't right. Next time they might even vote.

Isn't it cheating if you have a cofounder in a loneliness startup? :)
