Protecting microsoft from the year of the linux desktop is the intended meaning.

Inspect element, surely? See for yourself.

The incredible thing is this is actually the result of an explicit design decision.

The compiler accepts most GCC flags. Unrecognized flags (e.g., architecture- specific -m flags, unknown -f flags) are silently ignored so ccc can serve as a drop-in GCC replacement in build systems.

They’re so committed to vibing that they’d prefer if the compiler just does random shit to make it easier to shove it haphazardly into a build pipeline.

I promise that if Sam Altman is sent to (above minimum-security) prison for piracy, I will not complain about copyright law a single time until the day he is released.

maybe they were looking for extra special characters like 🁄 or ⶸ. Who am I kidding, RFC 1738 tells us that literally everything is unsafe and you know, we need to prepare for the inevitable occasion when the password somehow ends up inside an URL.

The characters “<” and “>” are unsafe because they are used as the delimiters around URLs in free text;
the quote mark (“”") is used to delimit URLs in some systems.
The character “#” is unsafe
The character “%” is unsafe

It ends up with

Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters
$ - _ . + ! * ’ ( ) ,
are safe

Saying it before something that is not disrespectful would be redundant at best and very confusing at worst.

“With all due respect, how’s the weather today?”
“I’m not racist but I prefer tea over coffee.”
“I’m not a pedophile but I think terminator 3 is a bad movie.”

it’s

while (true) {
    let t = Date.now();
    if (timeoutMap.has(t)) timeoutMap[t]();
}

of course. Clearly O(n).

I guess it’s meant to say “threadiverse’s finest”

So I wondered a bit how much it actually affects the economy.

“S&P 500” companies’ market cap is about 57 trillion dollars with a P/E ratio of about 30. So openai by itself is dragging down the total s&p 500 earnings by only about 0.5%. The bigger problem is that there are multiple companies like openAI, and a large chunk of the entire economy’s valuation is tied to the promise that all the AI companies will somehow become profitable sometime soon.

There’s a million illnesses that can make you dumber. It’s hard to think when you have constant back pain. It’s hard to think when you’re constantly tired for no reason. long covid famously causes “brain fog”. So on and so forth.

If you hand wash your clothes and process all your food from scratch you’re most likely the exception.

That is mostly a myth. They may have worked less than people at the height of the industrial revolution, but even a laborer who was paid a salary had to spend at least several hours per day on average on “not work” things like food preparation, home maintenance, feeding livestock, gathering firewood, repairing and cleaning clothing. Many tasks that are trivial today were highly arduous.

Then to top it all off it was fairly common for the local lord to force them to do extra labor without pay, like maintaining roads or training in a militia.

“You want to use teams a bit? We have a session here” “I’d be happy to, actually. Not really, but it wouldn’t be bad” “Not really? If you say so, I have a teams session ready right here” “No. No. I’m not stupid” “People use it every day.” “Tell the truth” “It’s a good user experience.” “So are you ready to use it? For 5 minutes?” “No, I’m not an idiot.”

What does ‘ranked’ mean? Doesn’t basically every player have a rank?

They got multiple different witches to cast multiple curses (and they mention “Priestess Lilin” by name), but the one specifically called “POWERFUL HEX SPELL” with 2-3 weeks delay seems to be this one by “UrsulaSpells”: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1806923429/powerful-hex-spell-direct-energy-focus?ls=s&pro=1&bes=1
