Plus people are mean all the time. We don’t live in a comic book world, where a moment of fury at someone on the internet turns people into supervillains.

Wasn’t a lot of their tomfoolery why people relocated to Reddit to begin with?

The old technologies that we used to use for websites never really went away. They’re still around, and you can use them to make websites again if you want.

It’s just that it won’t be as fancy looking as a newer web-site, but you don’t lose too much on functionality.

Especially since servers can do more sophisticated cooling systems than the average home user, like dunking the entire system in oil.

I’d argue schooling in general. Instead of being something you do because you want to and enjoy it, it’s instead a thing you have to do either because you don’t have the qualifications for a promotion, or you need the qualifications for an entry-level position.

People that are there because they enjoy study, or want to learn more are arguably something of a minority.

Naturally if you’re there because you have to be, you’re not going to put much, if any effort in, and will look to take what shortcuts you can.

Though the check isn’t very sophisticated, if memory serves. It more or less checks whether / is passed to rm -r.

If you did something like rm -r $VAR/*, but didn’t check to make sure that $VAR was set and not empty, it could still fire, since rm wouldn’t see that root got passed, only a bunch of directories in root.

Just take the app name, for example. From memory, single letter app names aren’t typically allowed in either of those places. X got a special exemption to let them use that name.

At the same time, they could easily be a crutch. Why bother designing a good, accessible website if most of the users are just going to access it via a chatbot?

This feels like it’s going to incentivise developers to either make bad puzzles, or bad hint systems. Why bother with a good one if the platform has a “complete this for me” feature? It is basically impossible for players to get stuck or struggle, when they’re either shown the solution, or the game completes it for them.

I don’t understand the point of sending the original e-mail. Okay, you want to thank the person who helped invent UTF-8, I get that much, but why would anyone feel appreciated in getting an e-mail written solely/mostly by a computer?

It’s like sending a touching birthday card to your friends, but instead of writing something, you just bought a stamp with a feel-good sentence on it, and plonked that on.

Storage. There aren’t enough hard drives, so datacentres are also buying up SSDs, since it’s needed to store training data.

I don’t think he is one, not really.

I think he wants to be one, but isn’t one himself, which is perhaps sadder.

“The customer is always right” might get misused a lot, but it is correct in this instance.

If a lot of your customers don’t like something, it’s not something wrong with the customers.

Or if you have good hardware that doesn’t need the transcoding. If I was loading up h265 video on my server, I’d need to convert it to h264 or something else compatible if I wanted to use it with my iPad, since it’s old enough it doesn’t support doing anything but software decoding of that codec, and it doesn’t have the strongest processor.

Hadn’t bitcoin not been viable on GPUs for over a decade? Most of the cryptocurrency hype was mining other coins on GPUs, or using them to do blockchain calculations for NFTs and things.

At the same time, it is trivially easy to strip a + alias, so I’d not trust it to do anything much at all.

To a lesser extent, so did the Lorax’s Aloysius O’Hare.

The anti-vegans, who are strong proponents of an all-meat diet.

That would make sense, if they were doing something like tracking how often and what categories trigger their moderation filter.

Just in case an errant update or something causes the statistic to suddenly change.
