This reminds me of how I'll sometimes be deep in thought, and someone will yap "Wacha thinking about?" and it sort of snaps me back into the world of language, and I begin the laborious task of translating a long train of thought into English, which is interpreted by my interlocutor as resistance or an attempt to deceive them about my thoughts. To some people, thinking without using language is a foreign concept.

My last Windows machine is for games. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Steam machine for an easy exit. If a game doesn't run on it, I won't buy or play it.

Before making the first shot, turn around and face backwards. Shoot back and to the left toward the barrier. After the ball ricochets, it should hit the downward-angled barrier on the opposite side and hop over it to the end section, where it's not too hard to sink the ball with three or four more shots.

I'm referring to the tag that Youtube is going to assign automatically.

Only if you view the label as accurate, which you really, really should not.

This isn't possible on Youtube right now. The automatic tools for detecting LLM-generated content have far too many false positives. And obviously no one is going to pay an army of people to curate the content. The best thing right now is to rely on the reputation of individual channels that you are personally familiar with.

Youtube's automatically applied label will be worse than useless unless they've made some remarkable breakthrough, which I doubt. They'd be better off just using creator-applied labels, and of course if they would label anything that Youtube itself contaminated with automatic translations or its ilk, that would be good too.

You're correct; it's a misuse of the term. Better terms would be embargo, quarantine, or just delay.

I'm staring at the EOL of Windows 10, which I use on my game machine. I'll happily get one of the cubes for my next box. I'd like this to be the end of my Windows usage.

This is so much nonsense. Contracts and interfaces have little to do with OOP. If you don't like inheritance, then talk about OOP. It's fine. Many people, including myself, don't like inheritance. On the other hand, if it's interfaces and contracts that have you bothered, parse-dont-validate to your heart's content. If the domain allows it. Just don't drag unrelated concepts into this particular discussion.

Humans are the worst programmers, except for all other programmers.

Is that the new button that's been popping up? And here I was blaming SponsorBlock.

It would be insanity. Even the most dedicated developers would switch to Chrome instantly.

Even with the notes, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Why would you illustrate communication problems with people who literally don't speak the same language?

"Earhart planned to have human navigators on board with her, but she’d be the first female pilot to accomplish the feat." - What an odd statement. Could "male" have been replaced by "human"?
