A lot of creators were tricked into that. The problematic part was that they realized the issue and completely went silent about the issue instead of raising awareness of the scam. Alerting about that fact would have been a great tech tip.

The code I write might be considered abstract art by some, but I'm a developer, not an artist. Much like how someone who writes books get catagorized as an author even though books can be considered art.

It's not that I disagree with the principle, but on the mentioned occastions, I will ~99% of the time listen to podcasts or audio books instead of music.

One translated from Norwegian:

"Once upon a time... But now it's a corridor"

I'll supply the original and an explanation:

"Det var en gang... Men nå er det en korridor"

"Det var en gang" is literally "It was a time/an instance", and it's the main way every fairytale starts in Norwegian. But "gang" could also mean hallway.

That's a great point. I have a nintendo switch, but I have more or less played through the entirety of all the games I have been interested in before my child was born. I did pick up pokemon violet, but the game was very short and had some disgusting responsiveness and aestetics which discourages me from grinding the post game.

Maybe a handheld pc will be my next purchase. Thanks for the suggestion!

As a father of a 8 month old baby, I have barely touched any of my gaming systems for the past year. Games need to be quickly accessible and possible to quit at any time for me to play. So mobile gaming is basically where I'm at.

Slay The Spire works perfectly well for Android. I've been playing that a ton.

Pokémon TCG Pocket is weirdly fun. Even though it's encouraging microtransactions and subscriptions, it's very much playable without making a single transaction. The TCG is decently interesting, though not without flaws. It's still in a very early stage, so I'm interested to see how the game grows.

Are you saying that the chance of getting salmonella is reduced if you instead eat alive animals?

Ah, shit, a clock that runs infinitely fast is always right.

This reminds me of an article about how to pack your plastic shopping bags to avoid spoiling frozen and refredgerated items on the way back home. The article basically boiled down to: bring a cooling bag.

It's answering some question while completely disregarding the premise of the original question.

Wine is 80-90% water. So that can be turned into wine with a wine base. And so forth. What is the end result?

I have a hobby of doing the opposite: making undesirepaths.

During large snowfalls, I often need to bring out the shovel and make a path, both from my house and in front of it towards the main road. I like to add turns and bends, just enough to confuse and lightly annoy, but not enough for people to consider stepping into deep snow or making their own path.

Absolutely this. I've found AI to be a great tool for nitty-gritty questions concerning some development framework. While googling/duckduckgo'ing, you need to match the documentation pretty specifically when asking about something specific. AI seems to be much better at "understanding" the content and is able to match with the documentation pretty reliably.

For example, I was reading docs up and down at ElasticSearch's website trying to find all possible values for the status field within an aggregated request. Google only lead me to general documentations without the specifics. However, a quick loosely worded question to chatGPT handed me the correct answer as well as a link to the exact spot in the docs where this was specified.
