You introduced the word into the thread. I quoted you. Unless you're operating at some notational level above the literal, yes I think you did.

No, not at all. Alpha code with zero context is an utter waste of attention. I must be confused about how y'all are developing software, because the path from "incompletely specified takeaways from a product design meeting",

Not in my experience. The only slapdash prose in the cycle is in the immediate output of a product development discussion. And that is inevitably too sparse to inform, without the full context of the team, company, and industry.

I thought we were talking about blog posts. Host your personal data on your local machine. Encrypt it and sync to another physical location for backup. But serve your blog from somewhere else. If you want to self-host it at home, buy a chea

You are not educating me in any way. And obviously I don't browse with JavaScript enabled. We could go back and forth all day about the likelihood of a v8 sandbox escape vs RCE in a big C program. But another risk to consider is a non-

Well, the speculation is that an AI could iterate through a zillion novel and mostly-garbage designs to discover something unexpected with a higher gain than known designs. There's a percent efficiency/gain improvement that exceed

Yikes, I'd strongly discourage unfiltered ingress PAT to your desktop machine. I know you have acknowledged the decision to entrust nginx with all of your personal data and tax records and bank statements and legal documents and browse

It's only superficially ridiculous. "CVE" is trademarked and emphasized (e.g. included in the shorthand notations, e.g. CVE-2014-0160 ), explicitly to prevent other groups from using "CVE" in a way that causes conf

Trees also consume air to grow (they add mass primarily by extracting carbon from CO₂).

I did art. I did postgrad. I did work(n). I did dishes. I did Paris. I did the walls, but hired someone who did the roof. Not idiomatic for all nouns, esp those for which there's a more applicable verb.
