  • Google Wallet is losing access to PayPal

  • I think it is often used as a card handler and less as a way that people pay (as we used to, by connecting it to a bank account or having a balance)

  • PayPal lost a long time ago. It is barely used in the UK now.

  • Why is it ok to replace -ed at the end of a word with -t in some cases? For example, why are "vexed" and "vext" both acceptable, but "thrilled" and "thrilt" aren't?

  • Susie Dent mentioned on a radio 4 show that words that maintained the archaic -t ending are usually more commonly used words. Words that are used less lost their -t ending and gained a more generic -ed ending as people were not taught it and used the rule they knew. So words we have like slept, dreamt, smelt are regularly used words day to day.

  • How do they know which is which?

  • When we had our broadband installed the guy doing it took way too long and got very frustrated and made a mess of it, but it worked. Two days later it stopped working.

    When the fault engineer came and fixed it, turned out the original engineer had connected us to the wrong cable, so when another engineer came to set up our neighbour's Internet, they disconnected ours.

  • This seems very odd, I've been using syncthing for a good 5 years and never had a single file corrupt - might be worth opening an issue on their github

  • AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say

  • As a very experienced python developer, I have tried using chatgpt for debugging and vibe coding multiple times and you just end up going in circles and never get to a working solution. It ends up being a lot faster just to do it yourself

  • DAE have trouble knowing whether they like things?

  • I think for me it is mostly visual things. Clothes, colour, decor etc

  • After I wrote that post that is exactly what I thought! What colour do you like? Colour for what?? A room, hair, a vase, etc etc??

    I have definitely had multiple experiences in my adult life where people expected me to be excited and we're disappointed by my reaction, I think I am very happy but not visibly excited even if I am inside.
