Why bring politics into this discussion?

Edit: that person (or bot) has almost exclusively posted on this website about the current US president. I think it's a waste engaging and I already regret my comment here

This is clearly a bot or a troll.

The house in Zurich I live in was initially built something like in the 12th century, but the floor I reside on was added in the 17th century. This is the case for most houses in the old town. So this is going on for a while.

31 cats from Ankara, Turkey, in this study. They point it out themselves in the "Limitation" section of the paper. Not sure what to think of it

Physical units help modeling and review, it's much easier to sanity check values from just reading, and comparing constants. I've heard that for rendering/raytracing, a lot of people move to model light intensities by actual physical values which makes it much easier to author and compare - such as for example "oh I want a light here that is as bright as this old lightbulb I like so much, but there's sunlight also shining through the window". That's much easier than estimating it in arbitrary units, in particular as here human perception is non-linear. I assume this would be similar for other simulations.

Meh, I have the impression the blog author really hates Zig's new Writer (fair, I disagree, but fair), but his criticism in this example is in my eyes slightly questionable -- it is a bug in the implementation and not a conceptual issue. He then uses quite some loaded phrasing like "I must be too dumb to understand this" and "I can't be really too dumb can I?" which I think ruin the discussion (as do the titles. He failed to convince me, for instance, that the new Writer was inherently unsafe by design). It feels like a "Look I told you!!! You run into bugs like this!!!" which is not helpful for a feature/refactor that was already advertised as complex and not fully implemented or verified.

Not to be confused with the Hokusai woodcut print titled "The dream of the fisherman's wife" (1814) (NSFW I guess?)

Thank you! I had no idea this existed, but it has now blown my mind. I didn't realize this kind of art existed back then and was so explicit.

The filth you see about you today, is the same or cleaner than was imagined in the past.

There's nothing new about dirty minds; male monkeys will "pay" (give treats back) to see porn of female monkeys in heat.

yeah, i think that's pretty clearly nsfw

I strongly disagree. There are things far, far worse than JavaScript. I would even go so far as calling it "quite decent". I like to use it for prototyping and scripting quite a bit, it can be rather efficient and the "standard library" is very decent in my eyes. It has some footguns, and certainly used to have a couple more (that are discouraged now, but still people complain and call it bad because technically, you can still use the bad parts that any linter refuses). I even really like the idea of protoype-oriented programming and find it a bit sad we lost this in favor of classes, but I guess this actually makes the language a bit easier. Disclaimer: I am not a webdev, and if I do webdev, I use TypeScript. Personally, I consider e.g. Python far worse.

I find it very difficult to inspect the email headers in Outlook, I think for the iOS app it's not even possible. It's almost like they want to make it less transparent and secure

So if it were indeed a for-profit account, it would also be okay to give them just a couple of days to "find the money" or otherwise lose 11y of history?

I would guess that the issue came from losing the flag, and the disparity in amount owed built up over years, thus prompting the drastic action.

A company that had a for-profit account would likely not incur that much of a bill that quickly, so it wouldn't play out the same. I imagine there are a series of escalating collections steps, and the flag switch popped them right to the most extreme end.

Just a guess.

Not sure if this works out, from my understanding the $50k would not even remotely cover a hypothetical for-profit categorization (should only cover less than 500 annual users, while my understanding is that Hack Club is significantly larger, by some orders of magnitude).

Well, there's legacy code and/or horrible git history that also needs fixing at some point. Also I have witnessed how the history can send you down a wrong path. I don't agree that this is a good argument.
