The developer of core-js is either a saint or should quit writing code and start writing books instead because that story is intense

If you want to be depressed have a read of this blog post by the core-js dev, I'm currently in the process of making a video https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md

Tired of generic greetings?

Confuse your friends with AI-generated Valentine cards!

GPT-3 generated the messages and descriptions, and then I followed its instructions to create the cards.

accidentally wrote "saad" instead of "saas" in a text to my partner; they immediately coined "Software as a Disappointment"

and honestly, where is the lie

Microsoft's suggestions to move up the waitlist for #Bing x #ChatGPT waitlist are a lot like a scam site that gets you to download random apps, fill in surveys, watch an ad, etc

Gotta be honest, the number of you who are ascribing some sort of agency to these language models is pretty depressing, it's like breaking up a fight between a person and and the chair they stuck stuck googly-eyes on because the chair is winning.

@ChristiJunior @Moon Google Images was getting to the point that you could post a snippet from a manga or anime screenshot and it would give you the name of the source or character. Now it just goes "This is a cartoon " and spits out a bunch of unrelated links to the same 50 or so domains you see on the front page of every other search.

So, just to avoid any confusion, when you run Windows 11, the product you are using is Windows 10. The Windows version is 2009 (which of course doesn't fall between versions 2008 and 2016, duh). So if you are using Windows Server 2022, the product is called 2022 but the version is 2009 because those two numbers seem like the same but they aren't.

The "Windows Current Version" for Windows 11 is 6.3. But don't use that number because Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 were also version 6.3. Windows 8 was 6.2.

Or if you want, just use build number 22621, also known as 22H2. The version 22H2 update is also called the "Windows 11 2022 update" because there never was a 22H1. But at least they changed their naming scheme and didn't call it Fall update because it was spring in half the world when it came out, heh.

CORS is a four-letter word

there are one or two people on here that I am at 180 degree opposition to almost everything they say about programming and computing.

all three of us are loudmouth assholes and probably autistic.

its funny when anarchists complain that blockchain has produced no tangible improvements in anything.

There's a player on FFXIV's Japanese servers that's a B1-level mahjong professional, and he keeps an account just because FFXIV has one of the better multiplayer mahjong clients. He didn't get too deep into the game itself or anything, just got to where he could unlock mahjong and shows up to games at level 18 in merch gear. Imagine getting into a mahjong game against some guy with a bunch of stuff around him that screams "newbie" and getting flexed on like this.

I wanted a tablet to read textbooks for class so I bought a Nexus 7 because it was all of $30. I managed to load LineageOS on it (it’s still officially supported!) and it still flies through documents/textbooks/websites despite being 10 years old

It makes me sad that so many mobile devices are firmware locked to the manufacturer’s default OS because it effectively means the device is ewaste in 3/4 years when there’s no justifiable reason to do it. The nexus’ screen is still nice by today’s standards so it really just needed some TLC to make the software modern/secure.
