    Yeah, wikipedia has its own user script system, and that was what was disabled.

    In that case their pay would be 20% less than market rate because the percent change is based on market rate, not the new value.

    > This appears to be an AI-generated draft with severe hallucination problems bordering on WP:HOAX. For one, it calls it the "Margo Largo Accord" -- a name that is not and never wa…

    In the anime fan subbing community (which this document is likely from), it's very common to hate on VLC for a variety of imagined (and occasionally real but marginal) issues.

    Two different systems; on the mod side there are two different UIs (one to set each) as well. Yeah it's weird.

    That's what saying "noticed with Gen Z" means. Reply to edit: generations are sequential; if you've noticed something with one generation it means that you're not accusing the prio…

    You can just as easily add context to the first example or skip the wrapping in the second.

    I interpret the sense of "literally" here in the opposite way, i.e. without it the sentence may be taken to mean that the books metaphorically stop mid-sentence, but with it, they'…

    Since my work is vaguely related to superconductors, I saw this comment and was excited to dig into all the errors in the article, but actually couldn't find any in the parts discu…

    Maybe Geoguessr players would be good at identifying them as well?

    Am I to interpret https://gist.github.com/jacobkahn/bd77c69d34040a9e9b10d56baa... as it making a test that only asserts false and saying that the test exercises the function in que…

    Okay, but now that's an unfalsifiable statement. What makes you think the burners are tied to the well-known accounts?

    My thesis is that Wikipedianon's comment implies Wikipedia editors (specifically, "well-known" editors and "admins") doxx each other all the time, but that's hilariously wrong. Dox…

    When I said anyone can verify it, I meant it; go make an account on wikipediocracy, go to the "Wikimedian Folks Too Embarrassing for Public Viewing" forums, and go through the post…

    Hi. I was an arbitrator who voted to suspend that arbitrator. There was no doxxing involved, which anyone can verify. Barely anything else in your comment is correct either. Doxxin…

    You're just explaining what the word "nondeterministic" means when you put it before "finite automaton", which doesn't have much to do with what "nondeterministic" means in other p…

    The requirement is not to be standalone end-user distributable, the requirement is that it be somehow possible for an end user to set it up, which is a lot easier, unless the devel…

    My current phone actually has this (ROG 9) and it's really nice! I had to put my phone in a cupholder recently and the side charging port saved me from having to balance it on the …

    I think "supposed to" is overstating it given that I've only ever seen it used by this one publication. To boot, I wouldn't pronounce the word they use it for, coordination, (in co…

    I like reading the system prompt because I feel it would have to be human-written for sure, which is something I can never be sure of for all other text on the Internet. Or maybe n…

    You're completely right, for what it's worth, and I appreciated the wordplay.

    Certainly the plasma could melt the wall if it were allowed to touch it, but by shaping the magnetic fields that confine the plasma, the plasma can be made to stay away from the wa…

    I don't need high school level ideas, though. If people do, that's good for them, but I haven't met any. And if the quality of the ideas is going to improve in future years, that's…
