The only Copilot-type system I'd consider using is one that did the opposite - generated comments from my code, so my lazy butt doesn't have to write them manually.

For the same reasons someone would maintain a forum or some other sort of what we call today "social networking service;" to allow people to come together and communicate, sometimes focused around a certain topic. Few people will

That's a deal-breaker for me, sadly, but at least it means that "Mastodon" actually means "Mastodon" in this case.

Did they fail the polygraph? Or were they told they failed a sham polygraph in the hopes that they would confess their crimes afterwards? The police do this tactic often; if you are suspected of a crime, never consent to a polygraph not d

The US has this question as well, but I've heard that it didn't eliminate people from China who were able to make a "I had to join the party to get a certain job" argument. I presume that as long as you don't voice

Interesting, but not at all surprising, to learn how early cops are trained to lie for the "greater good."

I find them quite organic-normative.

Very odd take to compare gas stoves to systematic murder, if that’s what you’re doing.

Indeed. I think we can all agree now that humans are a dangerous vector for viruses, filth, and general unpleasantness, and the world would be a safer, more pleasant place if we eradicated them entirely.

This page specifically suggests using salmon for sashimi, and doesn't present the idea as particularly novel: https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaoffi0000mccl/page/26...

It set off nonsense alarms in my head, though I don't have first-hand experience - but I had some ideas on how it could be disproven. I went to archive.org and found a book about fish preparation from 1977. Searching for "sashimi&

Consideration needs to be made when thinking that a policy which works in Singapore, one of the smallest countries in the world by area and one with a strong tradition of rather strict governance in the modern era, can be applied to vastly

I’m not saying it’s a WebView, but obviously it works extremely similarly. It is not a native app framework.

After the Wii U floundered, Nintendo released the Switch mid-generation, which is generally not the right time to release a new console ID tire assuming for success. But we saw how it turned out.

My perspective is that if an app is not directly using a platform’s APIs, it is not native to that platform. Feel free to explain to me and others how this take is wrong and how something written in XML could be a native app on, say, iOS.

So it’s a web app with new syntax. People who use the term “native app” incorrectly like this should… face difficult circumstances.

It's fine if the public barely understands web browsers, so long as they are not journalists or other people with a facade of seriousness and stature writing articles explaining how web browsers work and why they're better or wors

Before you write anything, please understand what Mastodon actually is. It is one of many pieces of software which uses the ActivityPub protocol to exchange messages between servers. There is no "Mastodon network" and using that t

They handle it just fine, of course. I disagree with the statement that Japanese has a relatively high incidence of homophones. It is true that Japanese TV shows, particularly variety shoes and lighter fare like that, have a lot of on-scree

Fair enough I suppose. I guess I've been lucky enough to not encounter any show-stopping problems with MySQL, at least that I can recall. Maybe you started using it well before I did. For what it's worth, in the cases where you ne

Presuming by “Ruby” you meant Rails, you probably won’t find WordPress a satisfactory replacement for any of them if you’re more of a developer than a site-builder. As a web development framework, WordPress is nearly useless computers to th

I’ll bite at the bait: I prefer SQLite in most cases too, but why have you forbidden MySQL?

The qualifications for PreCheck are onerous and expensive. I'd argue that it might be unconstitutional as well since it basically allows you to pay your way into a lower level of harassment by government authorities. I mean, that'

Git’s UI is difficult, yes, but I’m sure far more people are familiar with it at this point than Fossil. It would be far more inefficient for me to learn Fossil’s commands for what I need Git to do than just continuing to use Git, at least
