I think you just invented epimemetics.

Amiga floppy disk sounds are the deepest of sense memories.

I think Dario didn't get a Gmail invitation back in the day, and now he's taking it out on everyone.

this grug not smart enough to make robot into grugbot. grug just say "Speak to grug with an undercurrent of resentment" and all sicko fancy go way.

Haha, my version of that is accidentally closing a split when I meant to drop a buffet, or vice versa, losing either my work or my layout.

Brilliant. When is the next International Obfuscated Vim Exit contest?

Depending on someone else's servers isn't that different from depending on someone else's software, which unfortunately we all must do. Unfathomable reams of it, with a growth curve that recently went vertical. I guess the crucial difference is that someone else's servers can be taken away in a flash, while someone else's (FOSSl software can't.

Is it a mad dream to wish that was never gets DOM access, and instead there is invented a less memory-hungry dynamic representation of web pages that's usable only by wasm? Yeah, it's a mad dream. But it's also maddening that I can effortlessly open a 100 MB PDF but browser can barely handle a 10 MB html document.

If I read it correctly, the comment suggesting the intermediate variable was from CodeQL itself.

Good call, he'll have to name it Shitty COdingagent, or "SCO". No one will sue over that name.

In general I think the answer could be pretty simple: dedicated marketplaces for products and services, where we go to search for the things we need and want. A humble newspaper contains great examples of good and bad advertising.

Newspapers have whole pages of bad ads, and random bad ads wedged between actual content. Ads have a perverse incentive to mimic the look of actual content, just like on the web. I'd never pick up a newspaper with a goal of "I want to find a tax service" and yet ads for such services are there, unwanted, wedged into other content.

But newspapers also have classified sections, a better kind of ad. They're in a predictable place, where you can go if you need a job.

Imagine if the actual content weren't perforated by a scattershot of ads. Ad revenue would go down, but readership would likely go up. Besides profit motives, it's also a case of the good of the many outweighing the good of the few.

An environment like that is where SOLID, or something like it, could thrive.

Fully understood and appreciated. I'm just replying to a comment stating that orcs were forces of destruction and not exploited intelligent beings with evidence to the contrary from the Silmarillion. Tolkien's dilemma is even more concrete evidence.

The M4 fan edit was quite good.

I've not seen Rings of Power and I don't plan to, but I'd just point out that the Silmarillion describes the origin of orcs as being an exploited race of intelligent beings, elves who were captured and tortured until their forms became what we know as orcs.

"... all those of the Quendi [elves] who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes."
