grosbisou | 6 years ago | on: How I automated my Instagram account using Machine Learning and Python

Anyone else think this is bullshit? It's just an outline of what an automated bot would have to do to work with some technical buzzwords mixed in.

Not saying it's not doable, nor that OP didn't actually do it... but I am tired of all these people posting technical fantasies to improve their social presence.

Could you link to some resources to help understand this kind of stuff? It's hard to navigate between all the numbers people at startup throw like it's always good things.

For example in your case why was it bullshit? It sounds like you potentially own less but it got more expensive.

Curious about the 2. JWTs are signed via a secret key right? Couldn't the backend verify the signature and reject the token. I am pretty confident most JWT implementation does that automatically.

The dude just didn't think about that or looked into how JWTs work. Which I believe is even worse :<

I agree with you. You are most likely being downvoted by his fans. But this video (and all his others apparently) is empty of substance.

Same experience. Lots of noise making it hard to ask questions. The guy sounded like he was blackmailed to do that kind of job. He asked me to "sum the contiguous number in the array". So I start writing the code looping through the array, finding the boundaries and adding the elements. After 15min the guy is like "why did you add the elements? I asked you to summarize them."

Ok. Never answered their email again.

grosbisou | 9 years ago | on: Stoicism: Indifference is a power

Ancient greek stoicists didn't retreat from social duties. The core virtues of stoicism are the opposite of what you wrote.

They would take part on actions against injustices. But they would try to be guided by reason rather than emotions.

Once I landed back home in Paris on a Sunday. I couldn't find any grocery store open. I couldn't find any restaurant open. I lived there 20 years and I was honestly lost... I literally forgot how different NYC and Paris were. I ended up eating at McDonalds...

> Some adult guy preferring to draw pokemon avatars and doing some small things without value over more or less challenging things.

That is a bit disdainful. It has at the very least value for him. Isn't it the most important?

I actually played Chrono Trigger out of nostalgia. I was actually sure I would give up along the way as before... And I didn't. I was really into it and I had a lot of fun.

I then ordered a ps4 and I am catching up on everything I missed! ;)

I think you're absolutely right. Lack of attention makes it impossible to immerse yourself into anything. Even something as fun and beautiful as video games.

grosbisou | 9 years ago | on: Video Games Are Boring

I stopped playing video games like 10 years ago for the same reason stated in this article: I couldn't finish any new game I started.

But I recently started to play again after years of no touching one. I weirdly enough I love it again. I can play solo games, enjoy them and finish them. I can play online games and enjoy the competition.

I think a lot has to do with how people cannot focus anymore on anything more than 10 minutes. I used to be like that. Checking phone notification, look at reddit every 5 minutes, etc. I worked on it for a long time. Stop running after the quick gratifications and enjoy the long term. And now I am back to being a gamer :)

grosbisou | 9 years ago | on: GIF Site Giphy Is Valued at $600M

I wonder if I am once again too negative. But what the hell?

Valuation doesn't mean anything I know. But how can they raise so much money on a product like this? What's the monetization available behind this apart from selling user data.

I never quite understood how goodwill is calculated. I mean, I can understand how ATVI (Activision) or HAS (Hasbro) can have big "goodwill". But it doesn't make sense for CTL. Do you have any explanation?
