I haven't had a chance to use the GPT-4 API yet - is it that much better than the GPT-4 available via ChatGPT? Or am I misunderstanding?

Captcha is an alternative to small fee, cause solving it automatically costs money.

Real fee will scare away almost all amateur developers and almost all professional developers who don’t already have a business account available.

lol there were no expectations other than those that were presented, we had a face to face call during which I suggested an idea: send discord invites to a secondary server so all the people who didn't fill the open slot could meet up since they were seeking similar connections and later during that same call he literally said "funny you should say that because it turns out that's exactly what I am doing!" but this was a lie or at least immediately forgotten (which is what made the "that was my plan all along" part seem like a lie)

I just checked my discord and I dont have anyone blocked. I close/leave conversations so I dont clutter my inbox, so maybe discord internally severs the connection? (That would be really good to know moving forward). (edit: I also dont recall "immediately" closing any chats, but I may have?)

Anyways, sorry you feel that I wronged you, it really was not my intention. I received over 30 responses last time and it's a lot of work to interview everyone, then video interview them. It looks like you are running a discord yourself and managed to build your own community, which is great. Maybe you have an idea how much work this is, and perhaps you are better at handling this type of work than I am :)

I'd never buy a Mercedes, but....

Mercedes is the car you buy your wife to signal that you're a person of means. A person of means does not scoff at the wishes of their wife, especially not for such a paltry sum.

might as well ask this here: does anyone have any recommendations for minimalist PHP frameworks, in 2022? I have a hand-rolled PHP site that's been getting quite a bit of traffic and it needs quite a bit of internal reworking to make things more performant and such. I'm looking at evaluating Fat-Free Framework as it seems to be more or less what I'm looking for, but I haven't seen any recent opinions anywhere about it (aside from top-ten lists, which is all you can find when you search google for such opinions).

all I need is routing, caching, possibly some light database abstraction, and possibly some light templating stuff (but PHP is a templating language, and that's how I'm currently using it). I don't want MVC or any of that, just the absolute basics.

That code is so bad. Who does this?!

    return ($this->head === 0 && $this->tail === $this->size - 1) || $this->head === $this->tail + 1;

Or this?

     $return = $this->next?->resetPrevious();

Or this!!!

    $this->tail =
            $this->tail?->setNext(new Node($this->tail, null, $value))->next
            ?? $this->head = new Node(null, null, $value);

Or leaves typos in their code?

    elseif ($this->tail === $this->size - 1) {
            $this->tail = 0;just a tiny
        }

I get that PHP has a bad rep but this ain't helping.

I'm having some trouble finding it through search, but if I recall, this project was submitted to HN at some point.
