  • Everyone knows what an email address is, right? (Quiz)

    Jump

  • I kind of expected a lot of this; I remember the sendmail 4 book from back in the day when O'Reilly had that, DNS and BIND, and Perl as the entirety of its corpus.

  • We Asked 100+ AI Models to Write Code. The Results: AI-generated Code That Works, But Isn’t Safe

    Jump

  • I'm primarily transfixed, not by the example in your comment, but that you don't voice the "th" in "with".

  • Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future

  • You've managed to pivot from idiot to twat. Take a breather.

  • We Need to Talk About Pedocon Theory

    Jump

  • "..the barrel." Apples don't come in bunches, but at the time the saying was coined they were carted around like that. (Also it only took one, not a few.)

    (I suppose the modern version is "one nazi spoils the bar.")

  • Is every action a reaction?

    Jump

  • Even the standard formulation of newtonian dynamics admits nondeterminism. (This requires a non-Lipschitz setup to work; and in any case it doesn't describe the world we live in. Also it's a mathematical description, not the real thing.)

  • In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.

    Jump

  • There appears to be something of a rebrand to "Yvette Cooper".

  • Three Years of Nix and NixOS: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    Jump

  • I'm not quite sure why you fetishise a bit-for-bit over semantic equivalence. Doesn't it turn "it works on my machine" into "it works on my machine as long as it has this sha: ... "?

  • What's a random line from a movie that fans of it will instantly know?

    Jump

  • I am no messenger.

    But I do bring you a message:

    the message - of death!

  • Now you mention it, the Mars thing was - and continues to be - another unscientific pipedream. The examples I gave were all plainly stupid and/or disgusting at the time.

  • Sexually harassing his employees hit the headlines in 2016; rumours before that. Inserting himself into the Thai cave rescue and the "pedo guy" slander was 2018. Hyperloop was 2013. No Lidar on Tesla. If you've been paying attention he's been outing himself for a long time.

  • [ On | No ] syntactic support for error handling

    Jump

  • It'd be nicer to see tagged unions first, with the machinery for those, and then take steps to provide a semantic fix for error handling.

  • The "satisfaction" is probably novelty. UK/EU, nobody thinks about it.

    I think there's a kind of fetishisation of manual transmission in the US. Like your emergency scenario: I guess if you need to accelerate away from 30-50 feral hogs then you might welcome it.

  • You typically learn to feel the accelerator and brake with one foot but just engage the clutch (ie, all the finesse is letting the clutch out). But you know this. All your muscle memory works like that. When you switch to automatic, just use the one foot and it works much better.

    You have probably already worked that out but it's handy advice if you're a passenger in an automatic with a first-time driver who is used to manual.

  • So you don't have a doctor's note?

    Jump

  • Yeah, there's no need to trade insults!

  • So you don't have a doctor's note?

    Jump

  • I think that's the point. It doesn't stop the occasional chancer from trying, but no this side of the pond at least you'll get short shrift if you do.

    The whole thing is about limiting liability to the company. (In the pregnancy case I think there's an increased risk of thrombosis at late-stage.) Their policy says no paperwork is required, you say that applies to you; if something goes wrong after you lie then the onus is on you.

    Jump

  • I think by-and-large it's easier to get a positive response from someone face-to-face than over the phone, but on the whole people are pretty nice.
