Yup, it's exactly the same.

There's a Greek proverb disputing the latter: they are spitting on him and he thinks it's raining.

The religious have managed to make every YouTuber say "gosh" though.

Not per se, but indirectly penalizing modest people is not OK.

I had the same problem initially. It's sometimes easier on the command line, since piping file and directory objects to commands generally binds their PSPath to LiteralPath using a parameter alias.

Marquee, blink, i, b... Older people like me remember the old "innocent" days of the internet. It's probably nostalgia, but the modern web doesn't seem exciting anymore...

IANAL, but they either have to honor the verbal contract (pour an additional cup AND pay $20) OR the contract is void and therefore they can be sued for assault. Of course, the "can" in "if I can" may be construed as &qu

That's a great point about stripping authorship. It would be nice if there was some sort of blockchain linking every bit of knowledge to its source. Some people at least would like getting attribution--I know I would. Instead we get a

You are using LLMs to summarize bloated articles probably generated by LLMs. Maybe stop paying attention to such "articles" and cut the middleman?

I'm also not a fan of overly-funny writing, but I just wanted to say that I found your style quite enjoyable. Maybe it's because a can relate somewhat to your situation... :b

If A can die from sesame seeds and B can't and the A-to-B ratio is something like 1:1e+6, doesn't it make more sense for A to bake their own bread instead?

The Wikipedia entry on text-based user interfaces uses IT as an example of a text-mode program featuring a pixel-accurate mouse pointer. The "citation-needed" had always been annoying me, since I knew it was true, but I couldn&#x2

I think it was a rhetorical question. I wasn't a big fan of the SS series, but those damn kamikaze still echo in my mind. I've even had nightmares about them...

You could then fix the inverted x axis by using the mouse on the underside of the table. Works fine with optical mice, but a ball mouse might require fiddling with gravity (or magnets, but that's no fun).

I still prefer it the way it was when I started using computers with DOS 6.x and Windows 3.1: underline in console, bar in GUIs, block in both with overwrite mode. Always blinking of course. My problems with modern programs are 1) overwrit

That's like a programming language with 0.5-based array indexing.

David Crane, the creator of Pitfall, explains it all very nicely in a GDC Classic Game Postmortem [1]. I'm linking at the relevant timestamp, but the whole video is pure Atari 2600 goodness. The full Postmortems playlist is quite enjoy

Although they're the same glyph, they are different codepoints in Unicode. There's an old joke about replacing semicolons with Greek question marks in JavaScript and baffling your colleagues...

And that the semicolon was used as a PRINT statement terminator when you wanted to suppress the implicit newline at the end.

I "solved" that by using two assembling passes. The first had dummy jump/call addresses in order to determine the code offsets of labels. Then I would resolve the relative offsets, replace the target labels with offset deltas

Wouldn't that cause positive feedback in the analytics? Firefox usage is already below the magic 5%. If we start hiding, we may soon join IE5 in unsupported land.

An X-Mouse mode was available since at least Win98SE [1]. It was hidden and you had to enable it in the Registry [2], typically via Tweak UI. That mode would move the input focus without actually clicking on another window. You could see th

There's MMCE†, the spiritual successor of Marble Marcher. I've only played the original some years ago and it was pretty awesome. You simply have to move a ball across a 3D fractal surface that's constantly evolving in real-t

I would pay much more for YouTube if they offered proper search and filtering tools. There's so much interesting stuff hidden behind light years of fluff. Ymmv, of course.

For future DaaS perhaps. Everything is becoming a service, why not decoration...

I also skipped that, but we won't have to worry about it anymore. They started enabling it by default. Recently got a toast notification that I barely got to read. Soon they'll probably make it mandatory. :o)

Known as myriads to many ancient civilizations. Fun fact: in modern Greek a million is called "ekatommyrio", which means 100 (ekató) myriads.

They were probably referring to the random delays, form field wiping, focus-jumping and silly back-end errors which are prevalent in "healthcare UI/UX".

These are all my scripts. They're object-oriented, self-documented, tab-completable and a `hg clone` away. They're simply more polished versions of what I could do on Windows with built-in PowerShell (and FFPROBE of course):

As long as we're golfing: In PowerShell, using my personal script library: F:films> ls -rec -file | gec video | gvi | ndur 372:18:09 where: - `ls -rec -file` gets all files recursively under CWD (F:films) - `gec video`
