That was very educational. I always get lost in the terms. Exception is Bauhaus which is usually easy to distinguish.


I am one of the likely millions of people that got sucked into python for its accessibility and powerful data manipulation libraries. Granted I started in the mid aughts with web scraping and other stupid endeavours. That user base growing out of matplotlib/numpy later pandas at a time when data literacy got more important is I think the major driver of its success now.

Also does not hurt that it was designed as a teaching language at first. Nowadays reading some of the code that is out there I feel like I have no idea what is going on. Type hints and that way some libraries use it makes my head spin sometimes...


That is too simplistic. You underestimate the depth of academia. Sure the latest break through Alzheimers study or related research would benefit from a replication. Which is done out of commercial interest anyway.

But your run of the mill niche topic will not have the dollars behind it to replicate everyones research.just because CS/AI research is very convenient to replicate does not mean this can be extended to all research being done.

That is exactly why peer review exists to weed out the implausible and low effort/relevance work. It is not fraud proof because it was not designed to be.


For Windows and Mac OS native is clearly defined by the OS libraries that arenpvoded by the company.

For Linux to look very native you need to define the desktop environment. For stock Debian and Gnome desktop GTK bindings will look native. For OpenSuse with KDE QT will look more native.


FYI it does not work on Firefox on Android :(.


I love it! Super cute execution with the styling and scrolling story mode. Did not make it super far because on mobile ... But really fun. Seems way to elaborate for a one off side project did you do something like this before ?


Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words!

Funnily enough I did something kind of like this a while back, WAY less involved; https:https://www.therobinlord.com/projects/slash-escape

I have been thinking SQL is getting more and more important for people to learn so wanted to do something for that and I decided if I was gonna do it I wanted it to be an impressive attempt (plus I wanted to learn JS web dev, and midjourney image creation gave me the chance to really step up the visuals)


Interesting my cases supposedly came from some .edu or other educational related TLDs at first then it devolved into randoms... Well I will need to monitor and maybe do my own rules as well.


"fedex" by any chance ?


Yes, plus a bunch of other retailers. I keep marking them as spam, but Google isn’t getting the hint. This has been going on for months now and I’m strongly considering switching my personal email over to a new service.

I don’t understand how GMail has dropped so severely in quality. These are some of the most obvious spam messages I have ever seen.


Thanks for that. There is some mention of spam but others complaining that Gmail is too tight with their filters... Maybe they are re-adjusting.


Being tighter or looser doesn't help much if the filters aren't tuned right. You can get too much spam in your inbox and too much good email in your spam folder at the same time.


That is exactly my experience as well. Nothing noticeable for years and then a quite obvious one and it kept coming after that.
