Not even "sponsored", just state terrorism.

It also isn't a state.

It doesn't even require AI, just lies that fit their crazy preconceptions.

Or against, depending on your cultural values.

There's plenty of blame to go around for that one. Trump and The Heritage Foundation also played key roles.

Signs point to yes.

For an application? Never. I'd still use it for something very small like a build script where the hassle of separate compile and run stages makes the whole thing a hassle to use. That might change now, though, since I think Node has gained the ability to execute Typescript directly.

I think a better solution would be to add a method called something like ulock that does a combined lock and unwrap.

My concern with lock+unwrap is only partly because of convenience; I also didn't like it because I think it's a bad idea to get people used to casually calling unwrap, because it tends to hide inadequate error handing.

Now that I think about it, I don't like how unwrap can signal either "I know this can't fail", "the possible error states are too rare to care about" or "I can't be bothered with real error handing right now". In one or two of those cases you want to leave it in my production code, and in the last you want to audit all instances and replace them with proper error handing. Using the same function for all three cases makes that difficult.

Yeah, looks like a TILGBBBIPOC flag to me.

 

I'm trying not to read too much into the fact that Reddit is down right now, but I've noticed pages have been increasingly slow to load lately, and I get a lot of messages about server errors even just voting on comments. It seems like they're barely even keeping the lights on. Anyone else notice the same thing?

 

I still get tons of political calls, texts, and emails from donations I made around 2016 and 2020. Is there any organization I can use to donate money that won't harass me in the future or sell my data to someone else who will?

(I got a text soliciting a political donation while I was typing this question!)

 

When I swipe "don't" in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean "didn't". I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I'd understand if the strokes were very similar, but "didn't" has a whole extra stroke in it compared to "don't". WTF, Google?

When you try to edit a Reddit comment in their mobile web app, it deletes all line breaks from your comment so you have to remember to manually put them back before submitting.

The other big issue I have is that when you type in and edited comment, it will omit spaces between words at random. JFC, there's no reason to use anything but a vanilla HTML input element (because only markdown formatting is supported), but they somehow fucked up basic text input anyway!

My last little gripe is that nothing in the interface tells you that markdown is supported, which is extra dumb because the desktop interface tries so hard to hide the fact that markdown even exists.

(And yes, there are a host of other annoyances, but I'm trying to limit my criticisms to things that can only be explained by incompetence.)
