There’s the camp of those who say that inheritance is synonymous with OOP. I’m not in that camp, but I’d like to see you duke it out with them.

This is a programming community. The joke is that you’re asked to do something that isn’t part of your job, to do someone else’s job for them.

That’s not actual code though, it looks like some kind of trace. Notice the filenames at the end of each line.

The actual solution the issue opener there might be looking for is to disable C++ parsing, since it’s not actually C++ code, it’s just some text they pasted into VSCode and they’re wondering why their editor can’t handle it.

It’s somehow inverted. If it was Peano, two would be represented by two Somes, not by six. I have no idea how this one works.

Apart from that, aren’t Palestinians also semitic?

Extra spicy take: The Luddites were right. They were really always about opposing unethical use of technology, people who use their name as an insult were always all about “progress over people”, and you should never feel bad for being called a Luddite.

My 2DS is my retro handheld.

Ooo, old school AI 😍

In our current cultural consciousness, I’m not sure that even qualifies as AI anymore. It’s all about neutral networks and machine learning nowadays.

Pizza Tower is genuinely amazing.

Cassette Beasts also surprised me in how good it was.

4chan was never based.

Being able to black list, downplay or uplift specific sources is awesome

I’ve never heard of Kagi, but yeah, those features sound like a godsend. I’d love it if you could have that on a search engine that isn’t pay to use.

As much as I’ve come to loathe Google, I think even that is a bit unfair to them. Search engine optimization is a result of the existence of search engines, because being at the top of the results is always worth good money.

Back before Google was the top dog, there were numerous search engines, and I’m pretty sure people shared tips on how to get further up on the results even then, they just didn’t use the term SEO yet.

Google became the dominant search engine because it gave better results than anyone else, because it wasn’t so easy to manipulate your ranking on the results. But there were always sites that wanted to be on top even when they shouldn’t be. Google stayed ahead of their game for some decades, but now it looks like they can’t or won’t keep it up anymore.

Hm yeah, competing with such loss leader printers would be difficult. But how come I’ve never heard of anyone making things such as bootleg printer ink? Or does the police barge into the doors of anyone who tries?

Lucky you. Half my wishlist is games that aren’t even out yet.

I suppose you’re right, though that’s quite involved when all I want is to host an image.

Is pixelfed really a good way to prevent dead links? I don’t know much about it other than that it’s part of the fediverse, so I’d assume any pictures hosted there last only as long as the instance they’re posted to.

It’s a chicken and egg problem, unfortunately. Cities won’t improve conditions for cyclists if they only see car traffic and people will avoid cycling under bad conditions.

A somewhat obscure one but the Star Renegades OST always struck me as something different and I still occasionally listen to it years later. Every piece of battle music essentially sounds like a boss theme.

I use DuckDuckGo. When I first heard about it, I tried it for a bit, found that it didn’t really give good results, and switched back to Google. Some years later I found that Google also stopped giving good results, so I figured that if my search results just aren’t going to be good, I’ll at least switch away from Google.
