A compromise option is a technical stop[0] where the plane lands to refuel but passengers don't have to transfer to another aircraft (and often don't even have to deplane). I've ne…

From my layperson perspective that sounds relatively easy to address. For example they could require some minimum distance of continuous bike lanes to get approved for funding.

Ask it to write a program that outputs SVGs of animals using human modes of transportation, then run the program with "pelican" and "bicycle" as inputs.

If you don't understand the software you're creating (handwritten or not) you are ngmi.

How long has "so far" been?

It'd be like if the IOT AI Smart Air Fryer had a constraint of only being allowed to use friction to create heat. CSSQuake uses an intentionally-absurd rendering pipeline. It's not…

My immediate question while reading your post (as someone who doesn't know much about ATProto) was "but where is the box for Bluesky?". You didn't draw a box for Mastodon either, b…

> It's like PHP, it will never die. I predict that PHP will live a long life, but not as long as C, and I predict JavaScript will have a lifespan closer to C's than PHP's.

I'm spiritually sympathetic to your final sentence, but intellectual property law is not. There are already a bunch of replies pointing out ways in which your metaphor breaks down,…

Presumably there's some natural semantic relationship between the elements if you're going for that kind of visual layout (and even blind users might benefit from encoding that rel…

Multiple sequential paragraphs all sitting next to two images? Or multiple rows, each containing a single paragraph + two images? The latter probably would need an element for each…

This comment could be improved by adding specific examples and explaining what people should be doing today instead.

Sure, but only in the sense that all structured programming (functions, if/else, loops, etc) is "fancy goto".

I'm no expert, but perhaps https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.01415 (especially section 2.2, "Non-Algebraic Effects") will help.

> And we're 'flying blind' without CI runs You should never entirely depend on a third party service to run your tests, either.

I agree, but that's not at all related to this outage.

It seems like you don't actually want to engage with me in discussion. If I'm mistaken about that, please correct me (I enjoy talking about stuff like this and would love to unders…

The domain of your claim was "in any universe, under any set of assumptions". I now take it that you assume (see what I did there?) that all universes are sound according to classi…

Is this a joke I'm not getting or are your wires crossed? Bun is the topic of this subthread.
