I always thought Apple missed a huge opportunity to build a social network on top of iTunes.
See what your friends are listening to, develop communities around shared musical interests, get better recommendations. Sort of like YouTube now.

Concern trolling.
"Why I still write raw code instead of prompting the compiler" and "Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI" are my two favorite ones.
Hot take: regular old source code is just compiler prompting.

But it's a valid example, isn't it?
Someone just wanted to share their Rust + JavaScript knowledge with people, and they got a cease and desist. It's clearly not ideal.
Given they did not change the name, it suggests the legal challenge had failed. So why do we care?

As the wiki page states, the period is 133076755768, and it moves by two cells in that time. Spaceships in GoL by definition don’t leave anything behind, they produce the exact same configuration, just shifted across the grid.
Given that it starts as a single line, it is symmetric in the axis implied by that line, and hence can’t possibly move diagonally or orthogonal to the line. Hence it moves in the direction of the line.
Thanks!
I was a bit confused by that wiki page because it says "Direction Orthogonal" but like you said that can't be.
A bit late to the party.
