I once had to do maintenance on a system that used an actual spreadsheet instead of APIs. It would load an excel file as a template, add data to certain cells and then save it as a new excel file.

I like to say “in the early century”

They are pretty decent these days. There’s only a handful of options where I live, but I have gone through all of them and Motorola is the only one I don’t really have much to complain about.

There’s two nines there: “95 issues in last 90 days”

Got Multiclass hero (Barbarian, Mage)

I only have one example and it’s not really a good one: 3-4 years ago I had one specific spreadsheet (that I got from the internet) which I used to help plan some stuff in a videogame I was playing. It had a table with a few hundred items with formulas that would iterate over those items many times.

Excel on the local machine could handle changes to that sheet instantly. Anything else I tried (including excel web) would take several seconds to change any value, sometimes even minutes.

It was probably some problem with the spreadsheet itself, but there was no other similar spreadsheet I could use so at the end of the day I had to use excel if I wanted to plan anything with that tool (but I ended up quitting the game within a few days)

Apparently DSM6 is giving up on naming disorders and will instead name only the traits. So instead of being diagnosed as autistic and ADHD you’ll be diagnosed with Hyperfocus, Executive Disfunction, Maladaptive Daydreaming and stuff like that…

Couples? I have both myself. I only watch the subtitles.

I haven’t been horny since my early 20s

The last time I used notepad the undo option worked both as undo and redo, since it only kept the latest change and undoing was also a change that could be undone.

I had a somewhat similarly awkward situation on German class just last week:

We had an exercice about listing our favorite things in certain categories and then we would pick up someone else’s answers and try to guess who it was. The list I picked up had “Holocaust” on it.

It was meant to be an example subject for the previous item on the list: History Books.

I really lost all hope when I saw someone tell chatgpt about an issue they were having with a certain npm package and the clanker said “ah yes that is an issue that was present oh version 2.1 of the package, it was fixed on version 2.2. I recommend you update it; here’s the full changelog” and then provided a whole list of things that had been fixed on version 2.2 of the lib.

Except 2.1 was the latest version of that package and they hadn’t even had any new commit since that version, nor any issues matching anything close to the described problem.

Pretty much any company that has their own IT team but is not an IT company, is most likely using Windows infrastructure.

Its tab and session management tools are my favorite across all browsers.

I use vertical tabs with multiple layers of folders to basically keep everything I need to access frequently organized directly on the tab list instead of having to open it again whenever I need (also saves me from having to remember if I already opened something). For example I have a folder for each project I’m working on and I add to it everything related to that project. Project definition links, Github Pull Requests and so on. The PR links stay there while I wait for them to be reviewed or merged so I can quickly access them to see if they need any action. Once the task is done I remove them from the folder again.

There’s a new feature named Live Folders which automatically opens a tab for every item of an RSS or Github feed. I use it to auto open PRs that are waiting for my review. The feature is still quite limited but already pretty useful.

One of the projects I’m working on is a voice chat web app and the browser helps me by allowing me to open two different sessions of the web app side by side as a single app. Makes it so much easier to test things when I don’t have to be handling two different active windows like I used to have to with other browsers.

One other feature that I don’t use so much anymore is the ability to have completely separate tab lists for different contexts. It’s useful to separate work and personal stuff for example, but I already use separate devices for that.

Me too. Ironically I don’t like its default UI (supposedly its main feature), but after a few setting changes it is great.

But a very different type of chaos than what an AI produces. If anything, this is the most “non-AI” comic I’ve ever seen.

I’m not sure if you two are just joking or if there’s actual some confusion here. What the guy in the video means by “before” the heart attack is before there’s any indication you’re gonna have one.

10 minutes still feel like a lot. I don’t think I ever had to wait that much for an ambulance. Though I do live in an atypical town.

The Emu War is the only one that I can see similarities.

Are you looking for examples specifically about things that someone wanted or considered researching, or anything at all? Because there’s an infinite number of things that could technically be researched if people were a freely disposable resource.
