It's not as much "lol" as what's implied, you have to read between the lines a bit. Their example is Qatar, a tiny elite supported by slaves. And in the brave new world we'll have …

Apple UX: "intuitive" features you have to discover via some random video reel. Of course you have to drag your messages sideways to see when they were sent, that's Good UX! Sprink…

TLAs are not basic knowledge, or expert knowledge. They are expertise theater.

They dont seem to actually last 10 years though. Sure, in an old Prius you only care about the battery not being completely shorted out, and the price of battery degradation is sli…

So in other words, they can make their LLM disagree with the preferred narrative of the current US administration? Inconceivable! Note that the value of $current_administration cha…

The whole parasocial aspect of it is what feels fake, distasteful, and icky. The very idea of gaining power in the modern world is through parasocial relationships. Think Taylor Sw…

Yes, by all means, build and promote your product. Planning out interactions according to 3 fake personas is still fake though. Not that I have any better ideas, we all have to eng…

I don't hear any apologies out of Israel. Also, you may want to look up the definition of genocide. The parts of Ukraine that Russia took are almost 90% Russian ethnically. Somehow…

Not getting thousand line AI slop PRs from resume builders who are looking for a "LLVM contributor" bullet point before moving on is a net positive. Lack of such contributors is a …

Yup. Certain people get their panties in a tizzy every time an R president gets elected. Dubya was the antichrist, remember? It's just the same old tune all over again.

But these US wages aren't actually all that great anymore. The vast majority of people will have nothing to show for their decade of working in tech other than a bad back, carpal t…

And also sold out an American whistleblower to the FBI... A WikiLeaks it is not. It seems this cat is self-belling.

A used granola bar cannot be resold. I hope. A used house, on the other hand, is perfectly fine. So, apologies, but that argument is a previously used granola bar :)

It doesn't matter to these people. They are so drunk on their feelings of superiority that they'll dismiss anyone with first-hand experience as an "apologist", a "foreigner" or wha…

Does the fact that Spotify's CEO finances AI weapons change the calculus? https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2025-...

I think you hit downvote before really considering my point. There is simply no way that a change of 0.5% is significant - no matter your politics. Fluctuations of this magnitude h…

The point about housing is quite clearly false. There are around 147 million residential housing units in the US. And there are around 1.4 million built each year (this number fluc…

Yes, do this. No unit tests, integration only. Your competitors will thank you for this blunder. Why is it a blunder? Well, you just slowed down your edit-compile-run cycle by abou…

OP: look into VLESS (and similar). And read up on ntc.party (through Google translate). There are certain VPN providers that offer the protocol.

When politicians of certain stripes wanted to spend money on renaming SF schools to atone for "past trauma" and canceling math because it's "not equitable" - that somehow wasn't a …

Teslas also tend to attract people who hate driving and are bad at it. Yes, this is anecdotal, but - several friends and acquaintances said something along the lines of "my Tesla i…

With HTTP/2 multiplexing all of those requests can be made in a batch without round trips. And complexity of caching? An Etag done right is content-based. There's no logic to worry…

There are cache times other than 0 and infinity. Ideally the XSLT would change rarely, as would things like nav menus. So "relatively short" could mean several minutes to an hour. …

It did make all those requests, but only because the author set up caching incorrectly. If the cache headers were to be corrected, site.xsl, pages.xml, and posts.xml would only nee…
