I'm on Firefox and I don't see serifs. Might be OS dependent as well.

Yes! Like when Kujau couldn't get the letter A, so he went with "FH" instead of "AH" for the cover initials. Heidemann convinced the people at Stern that it surely stands for "Führer Hitler" :-D Schtonk! d

The whole affair was bizarre. At one point Kujau, the author of the fake diaries, ran out of ideas and let Hitler complain about his flatulence. There is also a very funny German movie about it ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

If you are spamming my favorite platform with AI slop, you are violating me. If you are using LLMs to write your e-mails, deceiving me in thinking I'm conversing with a human, you are violating me. If you are publishing AI generated bo

Yes, AI can be useful, but it also causes many, many problems. Are you sure the positives outweight the negatives when looking at society as a whole?

> The essence of fair use is that it is ok if the use of the copyrighted material is transformative. This is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition. Fair use is much more complex than you think.

Exactly! I hate that people can't upload their blog posts, stories, drawings, videos, music, etc. without them being slurped up by AI models. Same for open source software. When exactly did we collectively decide that copyright does

Keep in mind that not every old person who searches garbage bins is actually poor. Some of them just have dementia. I personally know such people in my home town.

You have some valid points, but I think you could have made them without the gross hyperbole and slander.

That's something I have been wondering. If I as a human want to make a clean room reimplementation of some API or application, I must not have read the source code of the original implementation. I don't see why this shouldn'

If Bjarne was so powerful, how come they voted contracts into C++26 despite his strong concerns? How come he publicly vents his frustration with the direction the language is taking?

Well, you could have linked an actual proposal instead of dropping some cool facts about C, Extended Pascal, Mesa/Cedar and Modula-2, as if that explained anything.

by spacechild1 4mo ago
Everybody knows that C++ did not invent the concept of spans and that it was late to the party. It doesn’t change the fact that (presumably) nobody made a proposal to the C++ standard.

> but `std::span` should have been there decades ago Absolutely! I now use it consistently in all new projects where I can afford to mandate C++20. I guess nobody bothered to make a proposal before...
