If they dragged the customer into court, they already screwed up. They should have paid the customer immediately and then took it up with their vendor. If they want to take their vendor to court, they can do that separately.

They're not liable for the things that come out of their employees' mouths? Maybe my flight tickets aren't valid either because I foolishly purchased them on aircanada.com and their website is known to have bugs? Or the ticke

Well...they lost, and now it made the news. Are they going to keep the chatbot? Is the judge going to so lenient next time, now that there's precedent of wrongdoing?

Humans won't fabricate too much but when confronted with yes/no questions and they have a 50-50 shot of being right and any blowback will likely be on someone else....they'll answer whatever to get you out of their hair. Case

Well..that does seem to be the default. If they don't explicitly say they won't, they probably will. It's a sad world.

There was a good rent vs buy calculator I found years ago, not sure which one it was, but it doesn't even make financial sense in some scenarios, particularly for shorter terms.

No, because now you have 2 pieces of state to maintain and keep in sync. You must store `desired_column` and compute `current_column`. Otherwise you or someone will try manipulating `current_column` to try to get the desired outcome, or wor

function ajax({url,success,error}) { fetch(url).then(success, error) } Boom, same syntax if that's what you prefer. J/K, the error status handling is not the same and the auto-deserialization isn't present. Not hard to ad

There's 2 types of web pages. Websites and web apps. If you're building a web app, you're going to want a framework that isn't going to fall apart the second things start getting complicated. If you're making a litt

Then you have dumb stuff like if you check a box and want some additional form fields, you have to inject a div or input into the DOM manually, and then make sure you initialize your datepicker, but maybe there will be a flash of unpickerif

If you don't want to use a big framework, then you needn't use any library at all. Nearly everything in jQuery is 1 line of modern JS, no?

So does Vite fwiw. And it's not hard to get them working in Webpack...if you're like me.. maintaining the same app for 10 years and see no reason to switch to the new hotness.

I write commit messages for future-me. Sooner or later I'm going to encounter the same problem again and wonder how I solved it last time. If I have a vague inkling that I dealt with this before, all I have to do is searching through m

I didn't think low-latency high-quality voice chat would make such a difference over our current ChatGPT chat, but oh my, I think that really takes it to the next level. It's entering creepy territory, at least for me.

It's stifling. I got into programming because I enjoyed programming. My first "real" job was not in FAANG, just some small company with about 2 other developers. And it was great, I had a lot of fun, I got to work with great

5) How does 2 make sense? Shouldn't be 0 + 1? Or does the pre-increment take precedence over the addition, thus the left i is 1 but not because of the post-increment?

Can you explain 3? A space is 20 IIRC, 20 13 is 260. An unsigned char tops out at 255 but I guess this one is* signed so... that's 127. And then I have no idea what happens, some kind of overflow, but I don't know the wrapping ru

Didn't know that was possible. I think I'd be too afraid.

I'm not familiar with modern Sass. Has it evolved much in the last decade? I'm still using Less because I installed it 10 years ago and it still works great, but there's almost 0 features that haven't been adopted into C

That's a slippery mantra. I can see putting everything in one file.

Yes, free messes everything up. If Google was $1 or $2/mo and Kagi was/is significantly better, that drastically changes the equation.

That one is clear to me too, also no. How would she know? No where did you specify that she even thought going to church would solve her problems. She was told to visit church, yes, but there has to be a belief component to "knowing&

Hah. I have my badge on my website. I'm surprised a recruiter was looking for it.

We just have these stupid unpressable buttons near me. They're big with an embossed arrow on them, but if try to press it it might budge a quarter of a millimeter. I still don't understand how they work, if they're supposed t

Floor 3. It goes to floor 3. At least in my building, which I think has 5 floors. So I guess it wants to wait in the middle to be equidistant to all floors, but I suspect there is a flaw in that math because ground floor probably gets more

I don't see the "speed up" problem but I get the "I have no idea if you intend to stop, or turn directly into me". These people drive with speed right up the stop sign, don't turn their blinkers on, and then wi
