Can someone explain what the leading sentence means? Why is it written like this?

> ... lasted from 1873 to 1877, continuing until 1879 ...

Isn't that just "lasted from 1873 to 1879".

Or is it written that way intentionally?

You could always eat two. But most people are inclined to use one as a "serving".

The same thing has been said about pints of ice cream. They are (or were?) labeled as being 2.5 servings - reasonable - but lots of people just ate them whole and then complained that they had too many calories.

It matters if you're going to call it an "interesting test".

Is it? Or has ChatGPT read the answer before.

Use a stack? LIFO.

As long as you have capacity to keep it mostly empty, it's fine. When requests backup, at least some people will still get quick responses, instead of making everyone suffer.

> in ways very stupid simple people can understand

The problem is rarely the ability to understand. It is the ability (or desire) to listen that many lack.

Seconded. My Silhouette is great. I even emailed them and received a copy of the GPGL docs one time. It wasn't full on support, but they were willing to give me a start.

The first thing I programmed was having it draw a hilbert curve and it worked great!

Why is that stupid? They did get lucky. They are acknowledging that, had they used that, they would have had problems. And now they will work to be more prepared.

Acknowledging that one still has risks and that luck plays a factor is important.

Who's to say they didn't?

Writing a follow up post is certainly valuable for raising awareness to anyone who had already read the original erroneous article.
