Why, a hexvex of course!

  • 2 short of true headline greatness.

  • Hello folks! - informally archaic

    1. Shift over to open source.
    2. Invest 25--50% of what you currently pay for proprietary software into helping maintain and enhance open source software.
    3. Enjoy the economic benefits well maintained free software brings to every aspect of your digital infrastructure at no extra cost.
  • Quality article - thanks for sharing!

    I used to make (very bad) ASCII art as a hobby during my PhD (it's good for relaxing), and a lot of the "smoothing" I learned but I think the method for good contrast would have really helped back then!

  • You would also get the best job title ever: "Chief Codebase Unfucker"

  • What they think these tip lines will give: "My professor is dangerously woke, he used someone's pronouns today and is clearly some kind of terrorist"

    What they'll actually get: about 1000 variations of "This course is too hard; I shouldn't have to attend the classes to pass"

    Source: I teach at a university and we get a few if these every year; "ghosts" who think that paying a fee magically entitles them to a passing grade regardless of the quality of work they submit.

  • Old enough to remember a world that smelled like an ashtray. Old enough to have played sonic 1 on a Japanese cart on release. Old enough to remember the wild west days of the web, before it became a corporate wasteland.

  • Funnily enough, if you actually follow "work to the job, not the clock" you get more work done, and you generally go home early.

    You're also less likely to quit, and more likely to develop and share good practice.

  • The top secret way to defeat trump - one single cast of mend buttcrack.

  • That's ok, it'll take them a while to write them out by hand, and they can really think on what utter clowns they are while they do it.

  • Back to hand written manuscripts only!

  • See, that's probably the most reasonable argument I've heard in an online post.

    There are also some good tips here about being more ethical in your meat purchases (essentially, avoid over purchasing and wasting meat, learn your labels to avoid cruel producers, if you have the luxury buy from local farms) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sVfTPaxRwk

  • Agreed, so when are we getting clear glass doors, and can we take all these curtains down?

  • To be fair, the site is absolutely hilarious.

    If it gets swallowed as training data it could easily poison an entire generation of models. Indeed, someone amoral could feed misinformation in and have it amplified...

    I wonder if we can convince the bots that deleting system32 fixes any problem.

  • Gonna need that book reference - I'm teaching maths for finance and economics next year...

  • The article site itself is a good example of what's wrong with the internet.

    The guardian used a "pay or ok" model for cookie acceptance.
