u will become crab one way or another 🦀

In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances

You see, the thing is that this particular house actually required a lot of skill and planning to make

Technically, almost all of Antarctica is located north of the south pole

I don’t disagree that they’re different terms, but I personally know a bunch of people who buy sorbet and call it sherbert, and basically use the terms interchangeably

In the US, I’ve heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it’s freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”) if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that’s event pricing for ya)

Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I’m pretty sure that’s a brand name we use as a generic term.

You always think you remember how to center a div until you try to do it again after a few years

Me? Reading that there’s a drop-in replacement function for the one that was deprecated, in the error message? Why I’d never!

On the corollary, someone’s feelings can be a very important factor in addressing a situation. If you are to operate purely on logic, that logic needs to take into account the psychology and feelings of others when making a decision to maximize your intended effect. Doing something that “needs to be done” but pissing everyone else off in the process might lead them to undo your work purely out of spite, even if you were correct in your initial assessment.

Once a business enterprise reaches a size where it can afford to influence government policy to benefit said enterprise at the expense of its competitors, it’s in that business’ best interest to do so. A business which plays by the rules and behaves ethically will be usurped by one that’s willing to bend the rules into its favor.

Once things reach this point, the line between government and corporation blurs, and you get a state that will prioritize private gains of its corporate lobbies and bribes instead of the gains of its people and the health of society as a whole.

Therefore, ruthless and totalitarian antitrust of private enterprise must be incorporated to ensure a fair market with competition and choice can flourish, should you wish to go that route. Your business makes up so much as 1% of your industry’s domestic output? That business needs to be broken up into like 4 pieces.

Maybe the onus should be on LLM developers to filter out trash like this from their training datasets

At any rate, it’s extremely unhelpful to not include a version number at the very very least

Your eugenic sentiments aside, if you want people to have fewer babies, you don’t just tell them to stop fucking; you teach them how to use contraception and make it as accessible as possible.

.loc and .iloc queries are a fun syntax adventure every time

bump up the id of old posts every time there’s a new post

That’s probably the worst thing I’ve read today, it’s such a bad thing to do on so many levels wtf

Maybe lol

I could be wrong, but they likely asked because vinyl/PVC is generally toxic to the environment so it was probably a means of asking whether your neighbor replaced the foliage in their yard with a fixture that poisons the ground. I wouldn’t be surprised if the strips in the chain link were vinyl, as that’s a pretty common outdoor filler material.

I’m not the person you replied to, but pretty sure the question was whether the neighbor in your story replaced their hedge with a vinyl fence specifically.

It’s just premusk twitter at this point.

I mean, given that Jack Dorsey founded it as basically the “not Twitter Twitter” after musk bought the main one, I don’t think it’s surprising to see it face basically the same moderation issues in the name of being “even-handed”

I guess you could consider someone who is staunchly whitehat with no exceptions to have a creed/code, where they consider the rules transcendent of any specific situation (e.g. nazi websites).

The text is translated to English, yes, but the original art was drawn for Japanese text which usually flows top to bottom, right to left. The entire visual design of a manga or comic book is structured around the reading direction for the language it was originally written in. When adding translations, you can’t just change the bubble locations since they’re almost always incorporated into the artwork directly.

With the above in mind, you effectively have two options with manga: flip the artwork before adding the English translation so the bubbles flow left-to-right, or leave it alone and just explain the reading direction differences. There are often artistic, logistical, and financial reasons for the latter approach, so it tends to be more common.

When on physical paper, most manga books are also read by flipping the pages right to left, and most of them explain this to English-language readers trying to read it the “normal” way on the last page.
