It’s not called maple syrup if it’s not real maple syrup. They’ll call it maple flavored syrup, pancake syrup, but never maple syrup.

Makes me wonder if this attack vector was chosen so that Russian logistics would be dramatically hampered by security checks now.

Because “the markets open at 9” is an international standard that everyone can count on. You could stagger it so that one country’s market opens at 10, then another at 12, and so on, but then what if one country chooses a different standard? What if a restaurant picks a different convention than businesses in one area? Time zones are great because once you understand them, you’ll always know how time works locally, anywhere in the world with a single piece of information, it’s a truly successful standard.

I mean, some of those things are just because online recipes are usually shit. You can pretty much always use a spice blend instead of salt and pepper, you can always add Chile powder at any concentration you desire, and you should always double the garlic (at least). Granted, some of this is because most recipes are written by AI nowadays.

Maybe they’re fr*nch

No one on LinkedIn has a real job, they’re all just bragging about being self-employed or paid to post there to “generate positive public opinion on 50 hour work weeks”.

Kinda wild how a web pages still take several seconds to load. I remember first hearing about multi-megabyte per second internet and assumed pages will load instantly. Now a webpage is so large it takes compiled languages several seconds to parse them.

cs () {
    cd $1;
    ls ${@:2}
}

You (probably) only want to pass the first argument to cd, this’ll send the rest to ls.

Or, more accurately, ‘a novel that is at most partially by Lena McDonald’.

But ChatGPT helped me write this graphic in only 30 minutes, and it’s exact.

Don’t worry, there’s always 2026!

I’ve been really worried about this. You can re-train a smarter model on old data, but what happens when our software changes and those old answers are obsolete? Then the AIs won’t be accurate, and we’ve killed our tried-and-true tool to address the issue.

And MinusJs depends on AngularJs and VueJs for some reason, but that’s just the cost of doing business!

Because Mozilla is the master of bad ideas and most open source projects are leaving github, not joining it.

He doesn’t have to be a homosapien, he could be a corporation instead!

Remember the meme where all the parentheses are on the right hand side? This meme is the same.

As a former student who tried to stay on top of the absurd logistics of making use of my premium license, it sucks. Once a year you have to dig up your old account credentials, and it’s always when you’re in the middle of a high stakes project. Worrying about licensing sucks, even when someone else is paying for it.

Sometimes people get excited to write fancy code, when they should actually be excited to write simpler code.

Unironically, this is a very cool tool as an import profiler.

I’m far less worried about the imminent supply shock to the economy and far more worried about the long term damage to things like the FDA. We’ve decided we’re going to try to go from ~10% vegetarian to closer to 80% or 100% because I simply don’t trust that thing like meat and milk can stay safe to consume. I do have a solid amount of food in my house, and if shelves start emptying I think I’ll be okay for a bit, but that’ll pass. I can’t really leave this country, so I need to be planning for longer term problems too.
