Or understand risk ratios and don't rely on food that's 100% safe.

> The USA has never been defeated. Did the entity now known as the USA defeat the British in the mid-1770s or did it just get a little too expensive and more of a headache than it …

When Google started taking the world by storm, and for a few years after that, I had the same problem. The way I solved the problem was by making a big show about the fact that I u…

It's easy to see why it works though. I know people like this who have made bank with these stupid schemes. Far higher returns than doing things the "right" way. The problem is you…

One thing that's worth noting. I don't know about this one but a number of those old SE pressure cooker recipes don't translate to Instant Pots. I'm thinking of Gritzer's french on…

What I was specifically pointing at was it being a heavy AI play combined with the direct relationships he has at high levels with AI companies. For instance the chief of staff to …

I say this with absolutely no evidence and only stating it as a hypothetical. But as an example it would be plausible that insider trading was involved.

Unlikely. I'm hoping when the foldable models come out that the folded version is a decent form factor. And then I can just not bother unfolding it.

Technically my current iPhone is part of the upgrade program, but I paid if off years ago. Why haven't I upgraded? Because there's no mini and all they make are phablets now.

Yes. The list of reasons is long, but at the end of the day the Haskell on the JVM crowd moved on to other things, and the people who just wanted Java++ moved to Katlin. And that w…

> For context, there have been issues with MacOS 26 which have led many people to defer upgrading For me the issue is liquid glass. Which I doubt is getting fixed any time soon

I'm not aware of one. And I suspect that Speed Queen is still better than the usual suspects. But they've shifted to some plastic parts, more electronics, that sort of thing.

It's difficult to keep track over time, however. Brands will build up a reputation as being the one that's actually good for a particular product, and then for one reason or anothe…

Why though? I've yet to come across an auto formatter that formats things the way I personally like. But that's fine. I do whatever the hell I want until I'm ready to open a PR, th…

I'd go so far as to argue that person to person differences are helpful to a reader. When I am dealing with a long term code base it's easy to develop a feel for who is responsible…

> That's why I like Go, every piece of code looks the same, there's one default enforced linter and this discussion (or discussion if discussion should be allowed or prohibited) do…

Fair. I'm comparing it to the output I see generated in more mainstream, day to day, languages. I'm not going to bother to get into an argument on if the frontier models can genera…

I've seen this too and I get it. However, we should not assume that certain phrases are AI tells. And that was my point. There are all kinds of things I see described here as "AI s…

Why is that funny. I've had that as part of my professional lexicon for over 20 years

It turns out that LLMs are really good at writing bash too. even perl! maybe we should rethink some of these lost bits because we no longer need to worry about the arcane parts.

Tho it wasn't unheard of for some MU* games to have ascii graphics in the telnet stream

I definitely saw MU* games with graphics schemes in the 90s, although most of the moment to moment activity happened in standard trulytext base "rooms". For instance there were a s…
