There were lots of tumblr blogs (now defunct) that ridiculed Comic Sans used in signs and posters. Later on the same thing happened to the Lobster font. Reasons were the same as now: low effort and overuse.

So did you have two rooms with the same objects in them but different temperature swings, over a long period of time, and then compared? What's the baseline and what's the safe delta?

I actually used two things: 1 - the search function on the S&P Global site: https://www.spglobal.com/en/search#q=nike&rows=10&pagenum=1&... For me, right now the latest result is from Feb 27, 2026 2 - G

I wanted to check the primary source so I went to (what looks like) the official S&P website and their S&P 100 section at https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/sp-100/ I can'

Isn't the thermal cycling greater outdoor than indoor because of the differences in the outdoor temperature between day and night? So most ordinary materials indoors should be fine with a delta of even 10 Kelvins/10 Celsius/1

Let's assume I have control of my own computer. On this computer with Linux and X11, how do I restrict programs (such as Zoom client) from accessing the clipboard?

Would something like that be better? https://jsfiddle.net/hs03xbuo/ I deleted the stylesheet, removed the duplicate FAQ section, and reworded a few sentences.

The industry/consulting term is "digital twin". Nothing off the shelf, since every plant is different. Even for a single process it gets complicated really fast. You probably want to track the environment itself too like temp

For fun, I pasted a few Matt Levine's newsletters into the AI Vetter on the above page. Since it can't fetch the Bloomberg's paged directly, I had to copy the content into Github gists. 4 out of 5 were marked as suspicious, m

Ideally you have an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) that talks to your game. It can use existing API if it's exposed - but it's very rare if it's not a game you're developing/is modded. It could also be reversed

It's like watching an ant farm or fish in aquarium: a different kind of entertainment. Could be fun - will the AI model get stuck on the same things I did? How does it overcome obstacles? Will it try to break the game to power through?

If the SaaS provider goes down or decides to discontinue a product, then yeah, ideally I should be able to install it somewhere and self-host it. It might not be easy but should be doable. If I want to modify it to fix a bug, I should do so

I think the OP references Intel ads with Jim Parsons from like a decade ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQWpYQm60P4 There were more of them, including some with other celebrities.

No doubt that computers enabled a lot of automation. We can both agree with that. The context was that technology should evolve to fit the humans [not the other way around]. And if contemporary technology didn't have limitations, it wo

I'd argue the opposite. Technology in the past few decades was (is) limited and humans had to adapt to it. We communicate with other humans using voice and three dimensional hand gestures. To use computers and early phones we had to le

I do and that's why I pipe the output to `head -n 20` or use `LIMIT 20` in SQL. That aside, this is a good script you're running. Thanks.

I moved from stored procedures to dbt. I find it easier to maintain and it helps me with version control, testing, and docs. Plus, since I deal with data pipelines a lot it get other goodies like lineage and auto DDL.

You don't need to exploit sensors. If a compromised device is connected to the internet (because the vendor app requires it to set up and control), you can use it as a part of botnet with a nice residential IP address.
