@burkov Just ask AI to write one the way you want it. No, that's not a joke.

@amelia_tweetz Inheritance, by its very definition, is unfair. It's literally the most unfair thing in existence. You cannot choose your parents. So yeah… parents spending what they earned (assuming it's not from inheritance) is the definition of fair. How is this a real question?

@AvivaUK Exactly. If you keep yelling "fire", your customers won't evacuate when there truly is a fire. You don't want to be the pension provider that cried wolf. Do I read your reply right that it's "we know we're lying and basically queue-jumping, but we'll continue to do it anyway"?

@AvivaUK could you PLEASE stop sending literally ALL messages under the title "Action Required"? "Your annual statement is ready" is ABSOLUTELY NOT something that requires action. Stop crying wolf.

WASM-only (thus no installed software needed) FM receiver. Just plug in an RTL-SDR and go to cement.retrofitta.se/tmp/rtlsdr-fm/

@StringHemu The only thing worse than git is everything that came before it. We ran screaming from RCS to CVS, from CVS to SVN, experimented with Darcs just out of desperation, to finally end up LARPing as a human database driver by being a git user. I have bigger problems in life than git.

DSP is pretty amazing. In order to turn a FIR low pass filter into a band pass filter you… just… multiply the taps by a complex exponential.

@falconerd If you squint hard enough, every single job in the world is simple. That's not so much insightful, as it is reasoning like a 5 year old.

Web security: "This is only enabled by server headers. It CANNOT be enabled by javascript! Because security!" "Ok, so I'll just use javascript to install a service worker that intercepts and and spoofs those headers" SEKURTY!

@0xPrajwal_ Maybe because 1) web development sucks, so good riddance, 2) the client side portion has a much simpler security model, so it's largely that if the results look good, then it's fine, and 3) It will do a better job with design than the 5min I'm willing to spend on this.

@CooperZurad @joelmartinez Somebody has never needed to upgrade all the electricity wiring for ground protection, or had to re-do all the gas pipes because of a new government mandate that gas pipes must now go on the outside of the building… Also google "UK cladding crisis".

I love how in Tron Ares there's this big bullshit set piece going on and even the movie ITSELF goes "this is just garbage, let's do something else", and turns down the movie volume (including some lines) just to instead drown it out with some awesome Nine Inch Nails.

@live_evergreen ironic that you call yourself "evergreen life" when your solutions are so technically awful that they cause widespread death. I'm a programmer and I cannot fathom how it's possible to produce such a bad product.
