yeah, but what makes the author think that __INSERT NEW LANGUAGE HERE__ would not have other 'quirkiness'?


thats a lot of code


yeah, but he could take a breath every once in a while


He programmed his nostrils to breathe in parallel.

same lines as... _life is figuring what to do with what you’ve got_.


false. you clearly don't know what you're talking about, sorry.

youtubers are getting strikes for background music, using famous chord progressions, teaching music snippets, mentioning songs etc.


I have compiled a few videos from youtuber music educators that I follow. The current situation is worse than most of us think. One of them, Paul Davis, even had a copyright strike for playing HIS OWN music. LOL! So ludicrous!

- Craziest COPYRIGHT STRIKE from YouTube ever?! (Paul Davis) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvH77m_3MVU

- What I want to teach, but can't, thanks to Universal Music Group. (Adam Neely) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nryFmUjtwEY

- Why Record Labels STILL Suck! (Rick Beato) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoTl9V8cjH0


More recently than Adam's October 2017 video, he had another copyright strike for, presumably, showing a repeating clip of the Single Ladies music video without playing even one second of the music itself. He recreated the song with a chintzy MIDI soundfont.

"To learn more about copyright, you may visit..." It must be nice to have such a dominant position that you can patronize your "partners" in such a way.

I'm constantly amazed that this company does not invest more in human copyright legal reviews when their product is pretty much just obtaining rights to share copies of other people's work.


I disagree. To break the Monopoly a new & innovative way to search needs to rise, not just a clone or "Google wanna be" like Bing/DuckDuckGo etc.

So, somebody gotta do what Google did 20 years ago.


I don't necessarily think re-inventing the wheel every so often is the way to go on some things. When it comes to search, you want to type in your query, and search. It doesn't really get much simpler than having a search box, and I am having a hard time understanding how that can be innovated upon. I am however not saying it CAN'T be done, I just don't see why or how it would be.


bad engine though (last time i checked was ~3 years ago)


my browser was really delighted to download the 4MB illustrative cover art.
