Why is that in English speaking world a joke is almost always a pun?

yesbabyyes · 7 days ago

It would be trivial to change the joke, keep the setup and get a similar effect without a pun.

I asked for one random number

And?

He told me two

I like the joke

Yes, Draken and Viggen are officially named after the kite and the tufted duck, respectively.

The names do however carry the other meanings as well.

Draken means (the) kite, dragon and male duck.

Viggen means (the) lightning and tufted duck.

And Gripen is the Griffin. Before Draken was Tunnan, the Barrel.

As GP said:

> Long story short: MS isn't a saint. They are a business. And they have behaved relatively nice for so long that some young adults don't know any other side of MS now.

They are a business. You seem to misunderstand that businesses cannot behave like charities.

Being a business implies being for-profit.

Nobody said open source had to be free as in free beer, it just had to be free as in freedom.

It's their prerogative to make the plugins marketplace to alternative editors or not. Servers cost money. It's a business.

Does Matt Mullenweg has to let WPEngine sap server resources? Arguably not; and this opinion comes from a guy (me) that strongly dislikes WordPress (and by extension: Matt and Automattic).

Matt Mullenweg did nothing wrong

Something's missing in the "Modern Event Handling with AsyncIterators" section.

The demonstration code emits events, but nothing receives them. Hopefully some copy-paste error, and not more AI generated crap filling up the internet.

It's definitely ai slop. See also the nonsensical attempt to conditionally load SQLite twice, in the dynamic imports example.

The list of features is nice, I suppose, for those who aren't keeping up with new releases, but IMO, if you're working with node and js professionally, you should know about most, if not all of these features.

You are assuming that they haven't.

Brambles can trap sheep, benefiting from the sheep as fertilizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrGobnZq83g

Falling coconuts can not only kill people, but probably kill far more small animals, again benefiting from them as fertilizer,

I've visited Lady Musgrave Island in the Great Barrier Reef. It is covered with trees called "the grand devil's-claws", the seeds of which are barbed and sticky. The seeds stick to the wings of birds eating seeds, and so they can spread across islands.

However, a visitor to the island will soon notice lots of dead birds on the ground. There are no predators or scavengers, so the birds lay there decomposing.

Thus, the trees use the birds not only for reproduction, but also for food. It's a carnivorous forest out there on the reef.

That's a funny idea :)

I think the first one should be very much doable, but I am not sure how I would build the "almost complete" and the "similar colors" features.

yesbabyyes · 3 months ago

I guess calculating the Levenshtein distance between the sets would work somehow?

Edit: scratch that, just intersect the set of available pieces with each set. If there are fewer than n--or m%--missing pieces, suggest those.

American Exceptionalism.

From my neck of the woods, we've largely viewed the Americans as part of a security arrangement (Pacific) but, as a trading partner, they are far behind the Chinese (so much so that its a constant political discussion on how to balance the two competing alliances).

This is largely what Trump was trying, and failing (miserably) to address with his tariffs, nobody buys from the US anymore.

If the fibre was cut through the USA, then yes there would be a period of difficulty, but it would be very quickly replaced with other countries technology (keeping in mind that most Western governments were looking to move to Chinese Huawei telecommunications kit until the US made aspersions as to how secure peoples data/secrets would be if that happened, completely ignoring Snowden's revelations that the US had been engaged in using the hardware in overseas telecommunications systems for that exact purpose)

yesbabyyes · 3 months ago

I thought Huawei's only competitors in telecommunications are European, though?

It's not good at making ASCII art. This, for example, is when I ask it for a realistic depiction of the Eiffel tower on fire:

This is something I and a few of my colleagues have noticed, as we asked several models to draw ASCII art of a wasp, which is one of our logos. The results are hilarious, and only seem to get worse as you ask it to do better.

I'm not sure I follow. Your complaint is that Framework only sells direct and not through retailers?

yesbabyyes · 5 months ago

Tell me you're from the US without telling me you're from the US.

Jokes aside, I had to wait years for Framework to finally allow shipping via a friend in Berlin. I think they ship to Sweden now—they seemed to have an unfortunate misunderstanding that they needed to produce a Swedish keyboard and translate their website before shipping here, which of course is poppycocks.

I've always wanted an array or object with range keys like: arr[0–2] = 123; if(arr[1.5555]>122){}

yesbabyyes · 5 months ago

That doesn't seem to be an array at all, if the idea is to check whether a number is within a range. Seems like an interesting data type though, a combination of a range data type and a map/associative array.
