I always have a niggling feeling that maybe it’s a human who sarcastically pastes a recipe

…which ironically makes for a perfect parallel with “C/C++”

The one I was thinking of is the (hypothesized) reduction in jaw size due to less need for powerful chewing, while teeth stayed the same size leading to many problems

agriculture and its consequences (maybe)

if you include games with user-created levels there’s quite a few games with levels that are practically impossible for a human, eg. trackmania and super mario world

yeah, someone butchered an article and now it’s getting echoed like a broken telephone. Really it seems that qualcomm wants to buy intel’s “PC design department”, not the whole company (and even that seems very uncertain)

the credits for concord list 2000 employees. It was also in development for 6 years (I would guess it probably suffered “development hell”)

this is already a classic

fairly sure hezbollah has more than 2800 members

bonus points if you’re using a statically typed language but the library uses extensive metaprogramming seemingly for the sole purpose of hiding what types you actually need

I think the problems there are exacerbated a lot by over-eager type coercion and other crappy design decisions inherited from almost 30 years ago

if you can’t connect to a vpn using only open source software, that’s a crappy vpn

importantly it’s (hopefully) an ISP that operates from a less copyright-happy country and isn’t tied down to tons of expensive infrastructure and long-term contracts

libertarians: “the increase in global quality of life is all because of capitalism!”

communists: “the increase in global quality of life is all because of communism!”

to be even more pedantic, if we follow the relevant official RFCs for http (formerly 2616, but now 7230-7235 which have relevant changes), a 403 can substitute for a 401, but a 401 has specific requirements:

The server generating a 401 response MUST send a WWW-Authenticate header field (Section 4.1) containing at least one challenge applicable to the target resource.

(the old 2616 said 403 must not respond with a request for authentication but the new versions don’t seem to mention that)

but sometimes “👍🏽”.reverse() == “🏽👍”

the thing where it actually helps is if you’re “one word speed reading” (eg. http://onewordreader.com/). Then it’s easier to rapidly focus your eyes on each word, without having to follow a rigid timer. But if you’re reading normally it probably doesn’t help

A key part of visual design is knowing that the users don’t know what’s best for themselves. They usually stop complaining after 3 months which is proof that you are correct and they are wrong!

(sarcasm rate: 1 - ε)

the future of 50-100 extra milliseconds of input lag

many words should run into the same issue, since LLMs generally use less tokens per word than there are letters in the word. So they don’t have direct access to the letters composing the word, and have to go off indirect associations between “strawberry” and the letter “R”

duckassist seems to get most right but it claimed “ouroboros” contains 3 o’s and “phrasebook” contains one c.
