ZX Spectrum. That is all.

User Gary Koepnick asked the AI which person spreads the most information on Twitter/X—and the service did not hesitate in pointing a finger at its creator.

(my emphasis) That’s a terrible typo…

What’s with those model numbers?

People on Reddit. We’re the people off Reddit :)

I hope they’ve been taken outside the environment now.

Was just going to submit a scrolling issue, but the GitHub link above isn’t working for me—the other links work fine but not that one :(.

I write minified JavaScript and the AI pretty-prints it with 8-space indentation. That’s well over 25% by weight.

No, tiny bits of hidden software. It’s not a very efficient way of distributing code, but it was fun.

I’m a software engineer and I built a trebuchet during lockdown to launch Easter eggs at the neighbours’ gardens since we weren’t allowed to go see them.

I wandered in here from computer science, and I’m going back to solving parallel cache coherency for a bit of light relief.

And likely Crowdstrike will have their own insurance. At the end of the day, it’s just gamblers sitting at the table, moving the chips around.

Big employer in the uk back in the day would fine your boss if you parked outside the lines. People were pretty attentive to how they parked…

Function/Method names, on the other hand, should be written so as to make the most sense to the humans reading and writing the code

Of course—that’s why we have such classics as stristr(), strpbrk(), and stripos(). Pretty obvious what the differences are there.

But to your point, the ‘intuitive’ counterpart to ‘zeroth’ is the item with index zero. What we have is a mishmash of accurate and colloquial terms for the same thing.

Most humans wouldd never write the word first followed by (). It absolutely should have been zeroth(), and would not cause any confusion amongst anyone who needed to write it.

This Antex is about 30 years old, has a heat resistant cap and is still going strong :) Don’t know what they’re like these days but I’d recommend on my experience.
