  • Btw this is not an argument against Wikipedia in any way.

  • There's a lot of misinformation on Wikipedia too, of many different kinds. Some smaller pages exists purely for someone's PR. I've seen blatantly false (but "verifiable") stuff too but the most common thing is to have pages that are just creative with the truth.

    Also sometimes I'll notice an article make multiple different claims that all point to the same source and then check the source and realize it is not a valid source for all of those claims, just some.

    And also there's stuff that gets flagged as verified based on extrapolation of data from a combination of sources. For example: one source says "John Doe facing 1 billion dollars fines if found guilty" and another source says "John Doe was found guilty", then the article says "John Doe fined 1 billion dollars after being found guilty" as verified, then you go search the web and find no mention of any fines actually being issued following the verdict.

  • Tbf the internet gets worse day by day, so any statement like "I liked it better before X" is valid.

  • If by adventures you mean gay sex, then yeah.

  • Me neither. At this point I might as well wait until next year.

  • Delphi could do complex GUIs pretty well. That makes me miss it sometimes.

  • You'd think that, and yet I've once worked in a project in a fortune 500 company that basically wouldn't even compile if we didn't add comments like that. No kidding the compiler enforced specific comment patterns so if you had a line do x = x + 1, it would not compile if it was not preceded by a comment that started with "Add" and included "1" and "to x". Even in dev mode if you wanted to just try something you had to comment everything.

    The original dev was super proud of this tools that generated HTML documentation about everything based on those comments. And the whole documentation was stuff like:

     
        
    *price*: The price
    
      
  • A friend of mine used to teach coding decades ago and one story I'll never forget is about the student who had an assignment that asked for a "for" loop to be used, but they didn't quite know how to use it so they just wrote a broken loop there and then hid a "while" loop at the far end of the line.

    Code compiled, had a "for" loop and had the right output.

  • Oh right I hadn't thought of combining it with the IP itself.

  • Would a fingerprint uniqueness hold up in court?

    It kinda feels like saying: "we know the crime was committed by someone who's this tall with this hair color and this skin color and has this tattoo on the right arm and who speaks these three languages and we have never seen anyone else who matches all of those things so it must be you"

  • Too deep into the cult but to actually see him negatively, while seeing their whole life in shambles due to his administration.

  • I hate food. It's hard to explain but it's kinda like most food triggers my fight or flight response. It takes me a lot of willpower to eat through a regular meal. As a kid I was severely underweight because I was always avoiding food. When I moved out I took the easier approach and started eating only the stuff that was easier to eat (mostly fried and dried stuff, and some ultra processed stuff like chips and cookies). I went from one end of the BMI table to the other in ~5 years.

  • Wtf I had never even heard of the 2024 one.

  • I'm sorry for being so rude to you but I don't want to be a conservative.

  • My girlfriend is terribly afraid of plane crashes so we have never had a vacation together. What can I use to finally get her to fly? Anyone I can talk to for help?

  • They'll one day finish all of them together with a single crossover episode.

  • I didn't mind the pace itself, but I already gave up on the show anyway.

  • Mario 3, though these days I get tired of it after a World or two and haven't completed it in a while.

    Also Xenogears from the PS1 is still one of my favorite games and I replay it every few years.

  • How did Pinwheel survive the previous presidents?
