@AlanBailward They rebrand for particular items which means they have no long standing identity.

@AlanBailward They might be bots but also are legitimately trying to sell you something. It’s not a scam per se. It’s just one of a million drop shipping companies trying to pump stuff while they can.

Dart having Null types is totally awesome right now and I’m definitely not missing rust. But also fuck you dart.

I swear for the last year my Twitter feed has been nothing but flutter. More so after the Twitter exodus.

Anyway so I started writing a flutter app.

I’ll never forget the time a US recruiter tried to use the fact I’d get private healthcare from the company and American doctors would give me any pills I want. As a perk, of working for them.

@Rhonin72 @TheJackForge It was ruled years ago that things not made by humans can’t hold copyright in the US. As this was generated it cannot be owned. An “author” of a generated book with generated art failed to secure ownership recently under the same premise.

When there is a false positive, Instructors will be more likely to believe the tool when the student is BIPoC and/or low income...

more likely to believe the student when they are white and/or wealthy.

@bphogan I agree. I played with it for a few evenings in a row and it couldn’t produce anything that would compile a rather complex macro implementation. It made lots of obvious errors. Which when pointed out it claimed it knew it wouldn’t work. It just went in circles.

@steveklabnik I kind of love that someone knew to put it in the linter. 🙌🏻👏🏻
