Sure, if you wanted to deal with configuring Apache. Or getting your hosting provider to do that. If you knew to ask, and didn't mind waiting, and your hosting provider knew how...

Not sure what you are on about. Adding an HTTP header to a request is one of the easiest things to do.

While it is a private service by a company called Mercado Libre (which means Free Market), in Argentina we have Mercado Pago (which means Market Pay), has instant payments and it is free for 99% of the people that do P2P transactions. It is free for anyone, meaning, you don't pay to use it. You only need your national document. Of course, after seeing the success, the banks tried to implement MODO, but it was already too late.

Mercado Pago is closer to PayPal than PIX. I'd say it's a generation behind Google Pay/Apple Pay.

First Windsurf and now this. OpenAI is spending billions like there's nothing else to use this money for while being seemingly cash strapped for model training since they already signaled more investment rounds would be needed to remain competitive. They're trying to become too big to fail before they have a moat which won't work well.

Amazing! Sacrificing GPA for projects is always a good time

How come Plain looks so much like Django?

dudus · 5 months ago

It's a fork of Django. It says clearly on the docs.

You can clear an array in JS by setting foo.length = 0? TIL.

dudus · 5 months ago

I think this is actually the best way to zero an array in place. The other option is using foo.splice(0,foo.length)

foo = []; Will reassign the reference but other pointers can still have the array.

foo.length=1 will remove all elements but the first.

What is a good alternative, if I want to stick to React. Does any other framework support server/client hybrid rendering.

dudus commented on AMC Theatres will screen a Swedish movie 'visually dubbed' with the help of AI engadget.com/ai/amc-theat... · Posted by u/bookofjoe

dudus · 5 months ago

As someone that grew up in a Latin America country watching dubbed movies my whole life I welcome this technology. Dubbed movies are usually terrible with subpar performances and recycled voices.

It sucks it will kill a large field for actors, but AI has the capacity to be much better with voices and performances that mimic the actors.

Given such a late warning, is there any staff left to do the data deletion requests before it heads off into bankruptcy courts

dudus · 5 months ago

Just requested my data deletion. Seems like it worked.

In this 'arms race', will this serve as an actual deterrent? Can anyone involved in scraping chime in?

dudus · 5 months ago

This won't stop the big ones, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Perplexity, or even the Chinese Govt. But it will make it harder for new entrants.
