Show HN: Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention

I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly.

Current limitation: Working with W3C WebAuthn Community Group on true passkey disposal for this use case.

Je vývoj výtvarných stylů zákonitý?

Dá se mluvit o evoluci v umění? A je vývoj výtvarných stylů dokonce zákonitý? Mnohdy to tak vypadá, po nějakou dobu se tvary zesložiťují a techniky se zdokonalují. Jenže důsledně vzato vede takový popis k potížím, což jsou ovšem konce nejedné důslednosti. Krom toho obtížně hledáme kvantifikovatelná měřítka. Stran zákonitosti vývoje umění zůstávají rozpaky. http://www.osel.cz/13812-je-vyvoj-vytvarnych-stylu-zakonity.html
