People need to internalize this. Generally speaking, nobody who has a choice wants our old crap.

WHY ARE YOU SAD? THIS IS WHAT MOMMY MIC WANTS! YOU DON’T WANT LOCKMART TO STARVE, DO YOU?

Why won’t you think of the shareholders?

I fully expect that to make a comeback in the aftermath of the climate wars.

too real

I like that. The weird mutants from the sewers are the heroes (oh wait, that’s TMNT) nuclear cooling lagoon are heroes (oh wait, that’s the Toxic Avenger). Fergeddabout subverting expectations, just throw in more anime tiddies.

The same style, but instead of cute ribbons of light and stars it’s sprays of blood and flying skulls. And the music isn’t upbeat, it’s screaming death metal.

While the stats vary depending on who’s measuring, the story is consistent: web publishers, who provided the content that trained these AI models, face dramatically diminishing visitors, which means lower advertising and subscription revenues, even amid overall growth in search impressions.

I understand your reasoning, but I don’t think that’s how the term is generally interpreted.

Here’s how it’s defined on Wiktionary:

A miss which was nearly a hit or collision.

I feel like Calvin and his mentor spirit, Hobbs, would be shadowrunners, but maybe that’s just me.

Experts emphasize that these findings do not guarantee a straightforward path to therapy. Still, the work highlights how CRISPR could assist in handling fundamental genetic hiccups that cause common conditions.

I’m guessing the intent is to use this intervention when the fetus is still very young, but it isn’t totally clear from the article.

Wear cargo pants or a jacket, solipsist.

Someone in a position of power showing it to be safe to interact with people who had the infection was still a pretty big deal at the time.

Definitely. I’m referring specifically to the medical risk she believed she was facing, not the value of her actions.

She used her platform to remind the public that AIDS sufferers were safe and to destigmatize them - she deserves praise for that.

Comparing her to a theoretical Jesus who could not have known he faced no medical risk is fair, but the difference is that she knew she was at no risk.

Apparently Princess Di started her AIDS advocacy work in the late 80s. As far as I understand, we knew HIV was sexually transmitted in the early 80s.

So there is a bit of a difference - Princess Di knew she was safe shaking the hand of someone with AIDS, whereas anyone hanging out with lepers around 0 AD, probably wouldn’t have known whether they were safe.

I’m not saying that to diminish Princess Di’s advocacy, but there is a difference in the expected risk. It may be fair to argue that Jesus would have plot armour thanks to being a demi-god (or the chosen of one), so he wouldn’t really be assuming risk either.

AND MY AXE!

Your example didn’t mention the use of the function keyword. Instead, it seemed to be questioning the placement of the return type - placing it after the argument list seems pretty common in newer languages.

Rust and TypeScript use the return-type-at-the-end convention as well.

In modern BASIC variants, DIM has become a backronym: “declare in memory”.

TIL. I always thought it was a backronym for declare in (yo) momma.

only the linter gives a hoot - the interpreter will happily leave that footgun for later

This is gold. And yeah, it took decades before someone told me the secret.

As a parent, I was surprised at the amount of stuff kids need to be taught. Stuff that I assumed was obvious isn’t - it’s learned behaviour. And you don’t realize that it’s learned until you see your kid struggling with some trivial task.
