Automatic garbage collection is not assumed; one formally engages the groundskeeper. Fantastic.

The unfortunate part is that while a lot of people might want that information, few will pay for it. I ran a small company's paywall, like this was a small chain of local papers. We could barely give the subscriptions away.

Your first point is true, unequivocally so. I watched it happen ... from inside the newsroom for almost two decades. We were actually taught in journalism school to write straight-up news for a Grade 5 level audience. You could get fancy

Good read. That undergrads have concern watching 10 year olds use GPT to do their math homework is at the same time precious, reassuring and terrifying.

Man, I though MacLean's was dead. I haven't see one of those in 25 years. But from the article: Forty per cent of us in this age range have less than $5,000 in savings. That's Canadians, aged 55-64. I expect younger generat

I saw it last year. It was fascinating. But, I mean, it was behind glass in a dark corridor-type room. We were not allowed to take photos of it. I liked the town quite a bit too. Some great food and drink, I love how seedy the bar/taba

Maybe this was Google being cheeky for once. When I, a Canadian, dragged over the map, the Lake remained Lake Ontario. When I search for Lake America, the pin sets itself directly over the same lake with the text "Lake America: The sma

I thoroughly enjoyed that. I plan to read it again later while stoned.

That is one insane eldritch breakfast burrito. I am not certain I would want to eat at an establishment capable of being persuaded that was an acceptable facsimile.

It's kind of like what us Canadians say about the U.S. sometimes — that they'll always do the right thing, after they've tried everything else.

Great article. Something has always stunk about Ground News to me, especially when I see it as a YouTube video essay sponsor for people like Hank Green or Leeja Miller. It truly is a vehicle for enabling the worst aspects of bothsides-ism a

Here we all are in 2026, talking about HTML, like madmen.

And hairy palms ... seriously though, I swear I recently saw an article claiming it is also potentially a longevity drug.

Less friction, considerably faster. I have a statistician friend who's recently made the jump away from R. I think he would agree with you.

I'd disagree if it weren't so likely!

I used to write a lot of Javascript-like Extendscript scripts back when I was using InDesign a lot. The DOM's global object $ had a method to directly invoke the garbage collector. It made a difference certainly, but it was difficult t

Oh boy. The "Request a Day off Button" is basically alert("NO"), which would indicate that functionality's probably been around since Day 1.

When I was a dev, I didn't find the marketers greedy. I did note that they seemed to have an insatiable desire to feed management's greed. But they themselves were not. That, and they seemed incapable of accepting any solution tha

I really dig the UI. Nice work.

I was actually just being a little tongue-in-cheek there. But I honestly failed to see how that strip had anything to do with fascism.

I am compelled to prove the strip's point.

"Count me the sky, then," said the float. (to the integer) Kinda poetic.

Discord's not a bad way if there's a shared interest. I met some great people on a server dedicated to a hockey team. We'd all watch the game and blather away in chat. You get to know them after a while.

I think Asimov wrote a short story about that in one of his earlier collections. Can't remember if it was a Multivac story or not.

I had not considered that aspect, and now I am very bothered by it.

I think the author was just having a day, but to paraphrase Wilde, something something about the price of everything and the value of nothing.
