Even Accept-Language isn't enough, although this probably falls under "respect it". A lot of websites seem to assume if you have a non-English language in it, they should use that language, even if English has the highest sco

6DoF feels like overkill to me if you're only trying to replace a laptop. I'd agree that it's really a lot better with at least 3 though.

Similar to me, although I know I read the entire thing. The only thing I remember from the entire novel was in the ending. There was a "Swastika Holding Company" run by a guy who was vaguely Jewish, which was not an odd combinatio

And the test doesn't test for that well. I passed and honestly shouldn't. Few of the questions about if I'd be a good ATC mattered much.

The insanity is in the scoring for it. You should try out the quiz and see how many questions are graded in a way that you expect. Although I did pass, purely due to being bad at history in college.

If you look at how they're scored, it's worse than Meyers-Briggs. Wanting a specific personality type for the job makes a lot more sense than many of these. Most don't give any points, many have labels that increase in number

Some people really, really, hate being told what to do, especially when it's a (in their opinion) significant inconvenience to prevent some (also in their opinion) very unlikely hazard. It's baffling to me too, especially cyclists

Similar, I've been scammed by a taxi once out of three times, Uber/Lyft never out of dozens. The worst with an Uber I've had was a guy who didn't know you could make multiple stops.

Exactly. I work on a project that got its grant cancelled and if you looked at the title/proposal and what was actually produced, you'd think there's multiple, huge missing components. We've always had to shape grants to

I really hope the "New Next Edit Suggestions (NES) model" is actually an improvement. The old one was 50% saving a few seconds and 50% annoying me by suggesting nonsense (and if you don't pay close enough attention, it's

Their response reeks of LLM, too. But I'm more surprised to learn that GitHub Pages allows advertising.

We already have a system where the government can send "child raising inspectors" to your house and potentially take away your children. It's dysfunctional, yes, but it exists.

A lot of kids are obsessed with creepypasta-type media and indie horror games. It's not exactly "urban legends" but scary stories are still popular.

My "idea" was to get human artists to record it, which is, yes, very unoriginal. I guess that was a bit ambiguous.

I agree, you can make stupid ideas happen without having to make a huge investment in something you want to hear as a joke. There was a metal song I thought had lyrics that would also work as pop-country and I did quick cover of it on Suno

I'm not aware of mass cancelling of research grants under Biden in the same way Trump is doing. The Trump to Biden transition took place during my PhD, and I never heard a peep about anything similar. Now all I hear about is cancelled
