Capitalism. No.

Interesting read but I'd argue a fish is a concept by characteristics, not considered a biological classification. Much like mammals.

Fish: has scales and fins and a swim bladder and gills. Sharks are not easy to classify as fish, and whales certainly are not.

Again, thanks for the article, it was interesting to read indeed.

german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook… Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.

While this is true for me(*) - partially, it's not a fear, it's a certainty that my data is not secure anywhere online - I would be positively surprised (but kind of doubt that) if younger people actually think consciously about their online privacy.

* never had myspace, deleted all my facebook posts, comments, contacts & then account in 2012 when they changed the terms & conditions to own everything you upload - and before then I had never used my real last name there

I guess I should have clarified in my original comment that I was exaggerating - obviously, C++ doesn't get as bad as python, not even into the same ballpark.

My emphasis was on "don't use C++ like you would python" because that's not good advice imo.

Importing CSV into SQL is trivial and gives you far more control than Excel can.

Not quite, but smart pointers in the wrong location can be quite wasteful in terms of CPU cycles.

There's a tool for a given job. And for some, Excel may be decent. But for many, MS Access used to be far superior to Excel. Not sure if it is still maintained well, as I no longer use MicroShit

But, if you're a power user doing a lot of complex data analytics, Excel is still the king.

Only if you refuse to learn SQL and do everything in a fraction of the time with way more functionality.

That's a cuttlefish though, and despite the name is not a fish.

So, basically, use it like you would use Python.

That's a great way to get performance as shitty as python's.

I meant that thanks to abstract art we're willing to forgive "image glitches" in art by deep learning models.

Generative AI is much better at art than coding.

Mostly because humans invented this convenient thing called abstract art - and since then tolerates pretty much everything that looks "strange" as art. Must have been a deep learning advocate with a time machine who came up with abstract art.
