Good practices don’t matter much for small hobby projects.

Ok, roadside assistance is maybe worth that price, but the rest are just API calls that cost them virtually nothing to operate. There’s no need for them to keep these functionalities hostage behind some roadside service, other than to be anti consumer.

Not to mention that by paying $90 extra you unlock the functionality to remote unlock your car. What’s the justification for this price? There’s no way it costs this much extra.

$59 is still too much to ask for what amounts to just a few API calls to some cloud service.

I left a company when management decided to discontinue a product right after we finally made its code more maintainable.

Had a look at the product that would replace it, and it was a bigger mess from what we started with.

I want a sex reveal party. Who’s having sex in the bedroom right now? Let’s find out!

It’s probably just some basic script triggering on stuff like “died”, “all lost” and “I have nothing”.

You don’t need to know math or physics to build a house. Sure, it can help if you know those things, but it’s not essential.

Same goes with programming. Math and programming are two separate skill sets, but knowing one can probably help with the other.

Also, a question for you. Why do you want to do Common Lisp? If you’re skeptical about your abilities I recommend to start with a more common programming language (like Python, Java, C#). Easier to find good learning resources.

I’m also glad I did it as a hobby before I started viewing software development as a job. No code from me if there’s no money on the table.

I don’t think Sean makes as many public appearances anymore, so probably safe. But who knows what he will do.

How is that going to help artists getting paid?

Seems like they’ve fixed it now, but there was a time when they had proof of stake without withdrawal functionality

Haven’t checked it in a while, but is it still impossible to withdraw staked coins?

That’s basically it, except everything is darn expensive.

Not necessarily a bad practice if the singleton is immutable, and it’s provided via dependency injection for example.

Tying NFTs to a physical object is quite pointless. It can make no guarantees that it’s the only NFT for that physical object, or if the physical object even exists.

You’re right. It will evolve into a different even more stupid scam on the blockchain. And people will fall for it again.

Python 3.7 is another good example. The new await and async keyword broke a lot of programs.

You know the cleaning up probably won’t happen. If some dependency doesn’t work anymore because Python introduced a breaking change, then you stick with the old Python version.

Some physicists desperately want the time crystals from Time Splitters to be a real thing
