There was a website back when I was in college where you'd click through some presentation or tutorial or something about bitcoin and at the end they'd just give you 0.5 bitcoin for free.

> I think GitLab has a "Clean stale objects" thing you can trigger This deletes orphaned objects in commits that are unreachable after force-pushes or deleting branches or such, it doesn't delete branches itself.

The $1 in-game content payments are already so well known (and for such a long time) as "micropayments" I had thought that was where the term originated.

A decade or two ago I remember an experiment where canned food was presented in a restaurant setting and people couldn't tell it apart from the hand-hooked. The presentation was what mattered, as long as it didn't look like it was

It also screws up code smells, disguising what used to be a "this looks weird, better investigate more in-depth" structure into something easily overlooked. So you have to be on guard all the time instead of being able to rely on

There's many things that used to be called AI, but as their shortcomings became known we started dropping them from the AI bucket and referring to them by a more specific name: expert systems, machine learning, etc. Decades later plen

Those are terrible as refutations, all boiling down to "we need more research" instead of actually showing it was wrong in any way. Which is also kind of what I said.

That refutation is ignorance of reverse-transcription enzymes. Our liver cells have been shown to do exactly that in a lab with the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. There have also been studies on long covid showing that some of them still have the mRN

With (B) you've just reconstructed the part of git-flow that was questioned at the start of this thread. Just switch the two branches from master/production to develop/master.

Either 3 or 3.5 also had "it tricked our researchers and tried to to escape so we had to dumb it down before release" marketing. What actually happened was someone asked it something like "how would you escape detection"

Yes, it's in what they're responding to: > The authors hypothesized that it could be that the body reduces caloric spend on other things, like stress responses

> I only found the suggestion that exercise _doesn't_ burn calories a bit weird. I mean... No one said that? The very first comment was about how it's not a lot / not as much as people think, not that it's none.

That's what the Bounty system was meant to handle. It could have been done better but it's not like they never considered it.

Both svn and git have command line options for diff to hide whitespace changes. It's always disappointed me that various web UIs don't have a toggle for it.

Left-pad was plain bad, we already had well-known/tested/reliable utility libraries like lodash that had it among the functions they provided.

There's an interview somewhere indicating they didn't come up with the Dominion until the second season, explicitly saying they put the first reference to it in a Ferengi episode to mislead and surprise viewers.

Stargate SG-1: Absolutely. Stargate Atlantis: Maybe better than average. On rewatch it's tended to feel bland somehow. Began with SG-1 S8 and ran concurrently with some crossovers (Atlantis premiere happens immediately after SG-1 S8 pr

Something I've said about Voyager for years*: It has some of the best and some of the worst Star Trek episodes. Very little consistency there. I think that's probably why a lot of people don't like it, the bad outweighs the g

> It had all the room it planned for and needed at the start. Almost. Come S4 they got concerned the show would be canceled before finishing the story, so they dropped all the secondary plots from S4 and S5 and compressed the main plots

by Izkata 9mo ago
Fun fact: The S4 finale that rates merely "good" is actually a rapidly put together alternate finale when they got renewed for S5, using some of that season's budget. This was so they could delay the real series finale to S

Ranked choice is very similar to what you just described, has the same downsides, and is much more difficult to understand. What you want is approval voting which has all of the upsides ranked choice claims to have, none of the downsides,

Best guess without looking it up, they meant to say "either" and not "both"; these are called "Romeo and Juliet laws" and are nothing new.

Their original comment was referring to people ignoring the warning banner and connecting anyway when the host changes. Not that it doesn't exist.

Not only did we do it back then, scroll around this thread - it's still a thing today, people are calling HN "social media".
