That’s really bad. You might get other people sick with what you have, but if they’re immune compromised or otherwise vulnerable they could have a really bad, possibly fatal, time.

Apply it to healthcare, science, finances, and the world will become a better place, especially in healthcare.

That’s all kind of moot if we continue down the capitalist hellscape express. What good is an AI that can diagnose cancer if most people can’t afford access? What good is AI writing novels if our homes are destroyed by climate change induced disasters?

Those problems are mostly political, and AI isn’t going to fix them. The people that probably could be replaced with AI, the shitty “leaders” and such, are not going to voluntarily step down.

I’d like to privatize Wells Fargo, where I also mean “dismantle and leave behind an unrecognizable corpse”

No. Your reading of it is unusual, in most contexts. It almost always means “agreement, and I have nothing of substance to add”.

It can be rude if the thing you’ve said should warrant a substantial response. Like if you wrote “my brother just died in a car wreck”, a thumbs up (or probably any emoji) would be an inappropriate response. Heavier stuff warrants whole words.

But if it’s like “Can you get cat food at the store? The kind we always get” then a thumbs up is an acceptable shorthand for "yes, I understand and commit to this request "

Ah, I always liked Three Panel Soul. Shame it doesn’t seem to update anymore.

On the one hand, this is bad for a lot of innocent people.

On the other, I kind of just want the anti-vaxxers and their enablers to die.

Need to either organize so you and your closest 50,000 friends can march up to wherever he’s living, or go the stochastic route and hope some random person decides to rid you of this meddlesome priest.

Organizing is probably better overall, but harder.

It would be a crime to shoot anti-vaxxers dead, like when they’re sleeping or stopped at a traffic light, but it would probably be a net positive on lives saved.

true, though sometimes i find the more verbose style easier to read, and more maintainable (eg: you want to do something else in the block, you can just add a line instead of changing your ternary / etc). Small things

Depends on how it’s set up. If the setting is going into the env it’s a string, so I’d expect some sort of

if os.getenv("this_variable", "false").lower() == "true":   # or maybe "in true, yes, on, 1" if you want to be weird like yaml
  this_variable = True
else:
  this_variable = False

Except maybe a little more elegant and not typed on my phone.

But if the instructions are telling the user to edit the settings directly, like where I wrote this_variable=True, they’d need to case it correctly there.

Is the backend Python and the frontend JavaScript? Because then that would happen and just be normal, because Boolean true is True in python.

It would be really funny if the jury nullifies (like so hard it’s an acquittal, not just hung so they have to do another trial), and then he went and shot another scumbag CEO.

I would nullify again

I thought mercurial was older than git, but apparently it’s 12 days younger.

“They hate every part of capitalism without hating capitalism” comes to mind a lot

moving mouse targets. Like let’s say you have two pinned items on the start menu, Firefox and steam. You click Firefox and it starts to open. You go to click steam, but Firefox finishes opening and the icon gets bigger. Steam’s icon then moves to the right, so you click where it was but instead just hit Firefox again. It’s stupid.

Note how Firefox has solved this with tabs. Open a bunch of browser tabs. Enough so they shrink a little. Then rapidly close some, starting from the left. Notice how they don’t change size until you’re done closing tabs.

Mouse tunnels. Like you click the “File” menu, and then mouse over “New” and a long sub menu opens. Longer than the original File menu. If you mouse directly from the top of File to the bottom of New, your cursor will briefly be outside either menu. This often will cause the entire menu to close. Mouse tunnel. Have to keep the cursor in the tunnel. Annoying.

Had an old job that insisted this was fine and refused to let me or anyone change the interface to fix it (on a website)

Focus stealing. Like you’re typing, and some other application pops up and takes focus. The absolute worst is when it pops up and puts focus on a dialogue box, and you just happened to hit “enter”. Instead of adding a new line to your document, you just accepted something. Awful.

We should get rid of the Republicans. Traitors and fools, all of them.

It’s a relevant question to ask if we want to continue with the system of paying for higher education. Which maybe we don’t. You don’t pay for high school.

I get that by calling attention to it, Trump increases the odds of an attack though.

Yeah that’s really the whole of it. They’re not trying to get smart professional people to shoot their enemies. They want to get impulsive people. That person isn’t likely to go look up these things but if they get the idea put in front of them they might act

Maybe, maybe. But the way stochastic terrorism works is you just roll the dice against long odds over and over and eventually someone does what you’re suggesting.

Posting about it on social media seems to be thinly veiled stochastic terrorism
