On the one hand, I absolutely agree, UA-dependent behaviour is generally a huge PITA. Some sites even refuse to return content if you don't set UA header in request, WTF is with that? Last time I checked, only Host header was absolutel

Pretty sure that some usage patterns of polymorphic types can not be completely monomorphized. Here's example in Golang: package main import ( "fmt" ) type wrapper[T any] struct { Value T

It was definitely a thing in Soviet works on mathematical/symbolic logic. But here's an example from Curry [0]. As I said, it was mostly a stylistic choice. [0] https://www.google.ru/books/edition/Foundat

One marvels as to why e.g. Russia or China don't covertly push funds and efforts into drug legalization in the US if that would widely harm its population and weaken it as a whole. But to the best of my knowledge, they apparently don&#

Alcohol is legal. That doesn't stop people to blame poor people for being lazy drunkards, does it?

The "logical negation" sign used to have the vertical line as long as "|", so e.g. "¬A" looked more like "‾|A" but fully vertically aligned with the letter. Sadly, this glyph fell out of usage in font

Well, duh: codeine is a great cough suppresant; it's also an opiate.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that not only opiates are effective cough suppressants, they're in fact pretty much the only known effective cough suppressants, all other tried non-opiates being only very slightly better than pl

Well, I'd say it's still marginally better than tar water (which too used to be widely praised).

That's IIRC how C++ also does this, so... yeah, it's not great but lots of things are not great about C and/or C++ and the standard advice is "yeah, don't do that if that hurts".

Transliterated-to-Cyrillic Polish actually looks quite a lot like a Belorussian with somewhat Russianized, so to speak (more "o"s instead of "a"s), spelling. Which makes sense, I guess, given the history of the languages

The word "literally" literally means "literally" but figuratively it means "figuratively".

Which makes it eerily similar to most salesmen. But then again, most humans don't possess consciousness and merely behave as if they (almost!) had it. I have to admit, for me personally it was a somewhat unsettling realization.

DNS is for associating various information with domain names, and looking that information up. Yes, the most popular information to associate with a domain name is IPv4- and IPv6-addresses via A and AAAA fields; but CNAME records exist as w
