And ending programmes with a "Heil Trump"?

"Disease" describes the end effect, distinct from its cause, which might be asymptomatic (i.e., without a disease).

I suppose that this web site does amount to doxing, and doesn't sound very legal. It's not really a surprise such links are blocked. That said, in the context of news the entire effing planet has been watching for a long time now, I fully support maintaining and publishing this list! Anyone...

A big part of User Friendly was the community that has grown around the comic, which was very welcoming and supportive of fellow nerds. But at the same time has casually thrown around phrases like "(l)user", "cow-orker", "LART", "PEBKAC", and similar, many of which were adopted from the comic. I...

You thought I was serious? My point is that while Marlena is canonically from Earth, Adam is not. Defending Adam growing up on Earth by clutching onto Marlena being originally from Earth in the original show and comics, originally, is quite simply a non sequitur. One ridiculous enough that a sex...

Well, it does have a very established shape. Kind of difficult to make is look a more realistic weapon with those curves. Flat reflective surfaces too easily reflect cameras and the rest of the studio, so for entirely practical purposes it's better to avoid making a big polished piece of metal...

The teaser/trailer is about Adam growing up on Earth. So, are all these "Marlena is an Earth astronaut" comments defending Earth being featured in the trailer suggesting that Adam is his own mother?

I get her connection to Earth. But prince Adam growing up on Earth, trying to find a way home / something of his past / somewhere to belong / whatever just seems like a very cliche waste of limited movie time, especially when it's not even part of the lore. Too many movies did the "fantasy world...

1. Earth? 2. Orko is missing. 3. It's not source-accurate if they aren't all wearing furry underwear.

I used to like Dilbert, User Friendly, and similar webcomics back when I was young and stupid (well, more stupid than now). Then I watched in real life how people claiming "Dilbert got it right" gave up on constructive communication with anyone in their team and other teams, except to complain...

Love how they basically claim US is doing Europe a favour twice over. First, by US companies graciously operating in Europe, providing much needed services to the unserviced Europeans. Then, by US graciously allowing desperate European companies to operate in US, having somewhere to sell their...

I'm not sure comparing AI bubble to the dot-com bubble is fair. Internet has always shown promise, it's companies that were overvalued. AI does have its uses, certainly, but it's also missing 50% of its name: it's artificial all the way, with no intelligence whatsoever. Not only that, but...

Data hallucinations were a regular thing on Google's services long before this "AI" nonsense. Need to find something on Google Maps? No problem, you'll get exact coordinates and route there for addresses that never existed. Or exist some 10 kilometres away. And not at a crossroad in the middle...

The same was true of Flash. It died just the same. Yes, PDF is exceedingly handy for casual users. That doesn't fix its many problems, and we need to look for alternatives. They won't be easy to find and make as ubiquitous as PDF, but that doesn't mean we should just give up. For example, in...

It's not a problem of access. PDF preserves appearance, but (depending on how it was prepared) not much more. For example, often a simple line of text in PDF file consists of multiple containers, making it harder to programmatically figure out how components should be reassembled into one text...

Yup, I didn't bother reading the Kickstarter campaign and doing research on the guy. So, when the article says "product developer So-And-So launched..." I have no idea whether it was developed in cooperation with someone else, and i don't really see how that would matter either way. I just...

So, another company on the ChatGPT bandwagon. They could have made some simple string checks to prevent wrong time being displayed, even with the LLM being as problematic as it is. But no, because "hype".

I've seen senior backend web developers type in www.google.com into the address bar and then type the full URL of the website they've just build, including the www (might even have been the http, it's been some time ago and I don't remember all the details), into the search field. And then move...
