Django's batteries included setup makes it a no brainer for almost any project big or small. Kudos to the team and contributers

What incentive do they have otherwise?

I mean, I guess since he is on the front page of Hacker News, he is in fact the real Mark Zuckerberg

Honestly, I'm just flabbergasted at how incredible these tools are. I was able to build https://www.standup.net in a few days. Also was able update an old project https://www.microphonetest.com in a matter of hours with a plethora of features. Its truly addicting.

So maybe they shouldn't depend on just search traffic. Their increased spend would suggest they got enough people to try and figure out alternative methods to attract editors and/or traffic.

I'm just happy alternatives exist.

I applaud this. "Your tax dollars at rest"

What I struggle with is how I'm writing this on a phone, in the back seat of an uber, en route to breakfast. Not even a king could have this level of comfort. While reading the library of alexandria. All I need is desire or will power to do anything, and direct an AI to do it for free. Yet, the future looks bleak.

I bet you we are all wrong and some random person is going to vibe code himself into something none of us expected. I half kid, if none of you have see it, highly suggest https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html

Blogging?

Yeah, he's confusing uploading videos and their view counts to success. What a weird push.

Yeah, but you can also browse /new with dead unhidden. I'd say they doing a favor moderating more often than not. But there is of course an intuitive bias. They are a business after all.

The cost of running this vs the benefit must be huge.

Why having your own website is essential

4chan is fighting them as well.

After sleeping, this is my old man yelling at clouds moment. I'm glad they are trying something new.

Go with what you understand easier. No downsides to making an app in either, other than the logo.

It's all grown up now. Runs on Django for the admin panel. Not that flask ever failed. Just became easier to manage the user base that way.

Rock on man

Didn't know he had a patreon, just set it up so the first 100 people, since that's the max it allowed, can get a 1 year access to his discord https://www.patreon.com/miguelgrinberg/redeem/f/C28EB241BB

Tangential, but I practically owe my life to this guy. He wrote the flask mega tutorial in what I followed religiously to launch my first website. Then right before launch, in the most critical part of my entire application; piping a fragged file in flask. He answered my stackoverflow question, I put his fix live, and the site went viral. Here's the link for posterity's sake https://stackoverflow.com/a/34391304/4180276

It's beyond our control, says only country where this happens daily.

I dono. You can hit and run pretty damn easily.

Before being a digital nomad was cool I went full nomad. I remember being in a hostel in Thailand and just throwing away everything I had brought, going down to the basics. Ended up with a similar setup.

The thing is, after years of doing it, learning new languages, making friends all over, and then leaving knowing you might not see them again for ever or for long stints, you start to feel the yearning to be able to connect with people on a deeper level.

Now I have an apartment and basically only travel for weddings, I still go super light. But there is a joy in having variety in clothing or sneakers to wear. Friends who you've had multiple conversations with over the year's, even family who comes to visit you.

I'm happy I rid myself of it all, but I'm also happy that now my apartment has the basics, and maybe a bit more. And I'm fine with it. Life doesn't have to be binary, you can mix and match and end up happy either way.

Simple, because I haven't launched one yet, but may get there sooner or later; First had to deal with another novel issue of copyright first.

Because this is the only relevant case I can find or remember. "The MPAA had presented evidence showing that the majority of content linked to on IsoHunt was infringing content, that the search engine was tuned to assist users in finding infringing works, and that Fung himself had made remarks suggesting the purpose of the site was to allow users to download infringing content."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IsoHunt

The US does allow it. No one has tried it without trying to induce cipyright infrigment or following the DMCA properly.

Also its hard and extremely expensive to defend yourself to prove it in a niche specifically where people are looking not to pay making it harder to montize to defend properly.

If you follow the DMCA (e.g., honor takedown notices, register an agent if you’re a platform, and act quickly when notified), your exposure to criminal liability is essentially zero.

If you’re an author from a Berne country, you get the same rights in every other Berne country as the nationals of that country.

Example: If you’re from Mexico and your work is infringed in France, French law protects you like a French author. So you could sue where the infrigment is happening, ie france.
