UTC is better than most, but leap seconds are still awful. Computers should use GPS or TAI everywhere. Dealing with time zones and leap seconds is for human readability and display purposes only.

CBOR for life, down with JSON.

US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. “Cookies, oatmeal” instead of “Oatmeal cookies” because it’s a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.

This isn’t funny, this is just the sad state of software these days.

That’s weird, the watermark says, “I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.”

It’s a matter of trust. This is just the latest in a long and increasing train of Microsoft abusing their market power. They have proven, time and again, that they cannot be trusted.

Anyone who tries to pull an “I have altered the deal, pray I do not alter it further” gets a lifetime boycott.

Don’t worry, this just means your job is safe from being replaced by AI. No search results means no training data.

You have until May 15. The announcement just went out today; if they tried to make it retroactive, it wouldn’t hold up in court.

Opt-out. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

That would be nice. Our admins don’t bother with anything like this, but they also block me from fixing things.

No bounds checking, only fast.

Krazam has previously documented the Facegoog microservices architecture in some detail.

STOP! You have violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit.

My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.

If it’s really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it’s perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.

In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.

No, it’s a magical morbidly obese senior citizen. Totally different.

This post is horrifying, not funny.

Um, actually it should be “That’s us”, since Borg never refer to themselves in the singular until Hugh goes and ruins everything.

Plot twist: The founder of this pyramid-shaped scheme is Jeff Bezos, since he’ll profit from every book sold regardless of where it ends up.

This is outrageous. Where are the images with humorous text? Where are they? This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Risa. You post text like that, they put you in meme. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Killing Tuvix, we have a special meme for Tuvix. You are Kevin? Right to meme. You are drinking coffee: right to meme, right away. You undercook leola root? Believe it or not, meme. You overcook leola, also meme. Undercook, overcook. We have the best treks in the galaxy because of meme.

Blank space in the corners that’s not filled with ads? What kind of Ferengi display is this!?

Q, the guy from Star Trek?
