To answer your question, I hardly buy anything with crypto because there's barely support... Hopefully this is a catalyst for change.

I feel like this is the wrong question to ask. Instead try "why would someone purchase with crypto over fiat?". I prefer to use crypto for international online purchases because the transaction and conversion fees from my native currency are way too high. With crypto it's a one off deposit fee and then gas is trivial these days.

Wow, thanks. Also helps when the color randomization makes the website unreadable

It's funny and harmless, but it does make me less likely to use the product. Because I don't know where the line for funny and harmless ends. Would it be funny and harmless to install a keylogger alongside the software? Maybe I need better personal security practices but it's much easier to avoid anything with this kind of smell.

Love this idea. I like to use voice recording and transcription for the same thing, but having a text interface is nice for public spaces!

> I'd like to see no-code UX patterns that losslessly map onto the underlying abstraction. That way you can use the UX pattern until it gets too tedious, and occasionally dip in-and-out of the code-view in a non-jarring manner.

What are you describing sounds a lot like Saleforce and other CRM systems. Often the code implementation get hidden away when it's not something native in the no-code solution. Then "magic" happens and you don't quite know why until you dig into the code again.

Anything that involves time. Dance, music, gardening. I have too many existing commitments that when I actually have free time I have no energy left

I have this too, or something similar at least. I have the same issues around visual memory and first person memory.

I noticed it specifically when talking to my wife about remembering feelings and emotions. I have a lack of empathy (different to sympathy) and when looking back at past events I struggle to feel the emotions I was feeling at the time. I can recreate them using facts and things I understand but it's different to experiencing the same feeling.

The author of the article doesn't touch on this so I'm curious to know if they have the same experience.

I use this a lot! Thanks for your work and looking forward to the next one

I don't understand why an interviewer would ban the use of AI if they are allowed to use AI in the role.

The interview is a chance to see how a candidate performs in a work like environment. Let them use the tools they will use on the job and see how well they can perform.

Even for verbal interviews, if they are using ChatGPT on the side and can manage the conversation satisfactorily then more power to them.

Which phone is this? I recently got a Unihertz Jelly Star 2 as it was the only decent "small Android" option I found while researching.

I also gave up on multiplayer and casually playing on Nintendo Switch has got me back into it. For me, it's a skill issue. I'm just not as good as I used to be. I play games on easy now so that I can blast through it quickly. Otherwise I'll (have to) set the game down for a couple weeks and completely forget what was going on in the game.

I have the complete opposite experience with Minecraft. My kids play peaceful flat land creative and it's the most boring thing to me. I'll take boss fights without weapons any day.

I love this but I approach it a bit differently. I don't think this is a good excuse to write bad or unmaintainable code. Sure some shortcuts are fine but it should be useful for the next person.

Personally I try to use free hosting services so that I don't have to pay to keep it running when I abandon it. (That could be AWS free tier or blockchain or IPFS etc). Use a public repository so someone else can find it when it's inevitable dropped. I always make sure to have good documentation so that once it's found anyone can get it running.

I accidentally stumbled across this same experiment last week when my son put some sprinkles in his soda water. Cool to know it works with raisins too.

Why burn the NFT? Wouldn't it be better to transfer the ownership of the NFT along with the physical item?
