I have a script that runs once a week, generating a new dated .md file with section headers (eg particular projects) and core info already populated. Throughout the week I just update notes in the .md file. If needed, I copy over things fro

I think OP's point is that this isn't a deterministic system for a given query. The feature flags set for the particular user (are you in the verbatim or no-verbatim branch of today's AB test), and the timestamp are also inpu

Agreed. The good news is that so far most (all?) of the enshittification-oriented changes have been easy to ignore. Gamified badges? Who cares, I never look at the profile any way. Feed of bullshit recommendations? Who cares, I never look a

Using the phrase "my sweet summer child" violates like half of the comment guidelines and is a boring canned phrase to-boot. If you want to insult someone, at least be creative about it.

New Haven pizza is excellent, but Frank Pepe and Sally's are overrated in my humble opinion. Additionally consider checking out Zanelli's, which is across the street from Sally's and one of the best and most unique places in

I can't comment on "The Greatest Showman" since I haven't seen it, but on a certain level "The Last Jedi" was kind of artsy fartsy; Rian Johnson spent so much time on cinematography and color grading[0] that he

I am not making a claim about the truthiness of the "joke". I'm saying it's old, not funny, and frankly annoying. And, to be clear, I have no stake in defending large vehicle ownership; I'm just saying you will elic

The point is that the compensating / micropenis jokes have been beating a dead horse for at least 10 years at this point. It's boring, it's embarrassing and it takes away from your message when you pepper them into your speec

The article doesn't make this very clear and the way it phrases it is confusing. > Dyes must be "bloomed" before use. In their unbloomed state (i.e. in the jar) they are different color than in use. With the evident meanin

I tend to agree with your overall point, but the comparison is not a particularly good one; you are comparing knowledge of a black site decommissioned in the 1960s to one of the most famous events in human history.

The whole "explain like I'm 5" thing is ridiculous. A huge percentage of topics simply cannot be broken down to an average 5 year old in a way that makes the conversation worth having at all. The 5 year old has no context abo
