Just popping in to say that no you can't use the word "tokenomics" to mean that. Argh.

Absolutely.

I dunno.. if we just assume everyone around us is gonna be an asshole then we can never have nice things. In order to be able to take the subway I'm willing to assume that not every person in the car is gonna blast their personal music preference at max volume. Yes it is possible for them to do that but that doesn't mean it's on me to invent super smart headphones to block that out. At some point, in some cases, "please don't" is in fact a valid security response.

This would've been a lot less confusing if they'd used

let radius = d * random(random(random()))

instead of

let radius = d * (1 - random(random(random())))

But, if so, probably so much less confusing that folks wouldn't be talking about it here, to be honest.

This is how generative AI art should've been done the first time

* get rights to the training data * keep artists and illustrators in the loop

Could've saved a lot of pain.

Sounds very human, lol.

One of the most pernicious problems with submodules is way that anyone who finds them problematic thinks its their own fault, and people who have finally figured out how they work (sort of) are so dang pleased with themselves they are now fully indoctrinated into submodule cognitive dissonance. Meanwhile git submodules themselves are leaving massive footguns all over the place, are an absolute nightmare during complex merges and are absolutely terrible for code transparency.

"You have been a great employee... <x> .. had to let you go".

Textshop, in-paint the rest with something nice, will ya.. oh and add a friendly sign off.

I'm with you also. But it is getting harder and harder. I'm convinced that Facebook are actively downgrading their in-browser mobile experience for this reason. They want to force you to use their app. Reddit, at least, are more honest about it - but also very annoying.

Features that used to work just fine (tagging people, editing comments) are becoming worse.

Understandable given how dry - but you may want to tweak the settings on your sarcasm detector.

I get why you are saying an interpreted language is slow but given that people use python to orchestrate most compute intense (AI) and data-heavy (data science) work, it obviously does a pretty excellent job of being pretty 'fast' in practice - ie offloading the 'slow' bits to dedicated code.

A great example of

Grays law:

"Any online discussion that mentions the word 'octopi' - regardless how tangentially - will eventually turn into a discussion on linguistics"

I've been censored in the exact same way for linking a friend to relevant government legislation. I think it's a combination of the tone / wording coupled with something about my posting behavior (I took a break for a while then came back). I dunno but it was annoying as heck (though somewhat understandable) that there was no way to appeal.
