Don’t forget the death penalty for that Vietnamese robber baron.

I’m quite willing to bet that 70% of the population has no clue that percentages, fractions, and decimals are the same thing.

Lmao, it’s funny how most of these use cases rarely stray from the stereotype of ‘I can’t spend an hour focusing on something and learn so I’ll take a shortcut instead’.

Meanwhile at work all chatGPT has caused is misery as it makes people think they’re expert programmers now while I have to debug their shitty code. Do they learn? Nope, just repeatedly serving up slop.

It’s white phosphorus if I’m not wrong. Used for ‘spotting targets’ aka committing war crimes.

I mean, duh. There are always cheaper places to live. But nobody wants to make a 3 hour commute to where the jobs are.

RSS is in no way simple to regular normies.

Plotly has the most pain-in-the-ass syntax compared to ggplot2 IMHO. And that’s from a guy who uses a tonne of plotly.

Man I love factorio’s art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there’s alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don’t see that often in other games of a similar style.

There are a tonne of apartment balconies that are just afterthoughts by the developer though. I see plenty that are narrow to the point of being useless, or 30 floors up with no enclosed overhang which just generally feels kinda terrifying.

Sure, easing into a deflating population over several hundred years is fine but tanking it and ending up with a society having to support a vastly older population ain’t easy either. Better for governments to provide positive reasons to have children but there’s zero chance of that.

Yea, talk about overcomplicating a simple task.

It really puts your suspension of disbelief to the test, and all the characters are terrible. I actually thought the netflix show was better than the book because the characters were alot more relatable.

Jesus this community has some of the worst jokes, I can’t believe someone wasted time illustrating this.

I love using Wednesdays to clear leave (I know, not the best day in terms of utility for holidays and stuff) as you essentially create a new Friday. Work is so much more bearable.

I mean it’s entirely an arbitrary distinction. AI, for a very long time before chatGPT, meant something like AGI. we didn’t call classification models ‘intelligent’ because it didn’t have any human-like characteristics. It’s as silly as saying a regression model is AI. They aren’t intelligent things.

Have you heard of our lord and saviour rclone?

I haven’t gone back to rsync in a long time.

Nah you gotta alias ls -a to la for more efficiency.

Yea, do it to fill your resume with some good points but once you’re not learning anything new it’s time to leave.

Nah your boss is just getting you to work beyond what you’re paid to do.

I have completely abandoned physical books. The only exception is Terry Pratchett, I cannot find discworld ebooks with working footnotes :(
