Dec 25, so wouldn’t be animator of the year for 2023.
Besides, celebrate rather than compare:
"When you don’t create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. Your tastes only narrow and exclude people. so create.“ - _why the lucky stiff
Ah good catch didn't realize it was from last year.
I agree these things are definitely "ands" not "ors", just comparing because the linked article is about a competition.
It's a pretty specific niche which made me think "oh but what about this other amazing animation made in blender by a 16 year old!"
_why the lucky stiff is probably the reason that I think of programming as a creative endeavor on par with things more regularly called art. It also took me from occasionally dabbling with JS to committing to becoming a paid dev.
It led me to redefine my personal version of "creative" to focus on the root word.
Impetus is certainly more artistic and thought-provoking, but is there anything that makes Impetus a greater technical achievement than Street Food? From my (very) non-expert perspective, Street Food seems much more technically impressive.
I agree and find it more than irksome -- it really makes me want to stop using Signal and stop recommending it to anyone; moreso even than the recent scamcoin integration.
The reason I want e2e encryption is because I want control of my devices, control of my information, control of what's going on. It's not Moxie's phone to drop random files on to, regardless of purpose. It's my phone, and I consider programs that are doing things that I'm not aware of malware.
(Admittedly, Android is rife with stuff I don't want going on, so it's not really my phone, it's Google's and Motorola's and a bunch of other entities who have their tentacles in it, but still...)
Maybe the last paragraph is a joke, and they have no intention of randomly placing files on unwitting client machines. It's open source, so I could compile the client myself and make sure it's not doing anything funny. What a pain though. At that point, so much trust is lost in the organization and codebase that really I need to find some other messaging protocol / app / network.

[citation needed]
The initial presentation of the paper was titled "SF Bitcoin Devs Seminar: Scaling Bitcoin to Billions of Transactions Per Day". If we didn't mean it to help scaling, what was it meant to be?
[note: am one of the authors]
That would be Impetus[1]
