“My Script” should be another dozen books the same thickness as main.

Not, I stress, for the sake of it, but for proper implementation of the suitable patterns for the application.

The customer is always right in matters of taste and style.

If you can’t get (and keep) customers for your product: that’s your problem.

I can’t take anything that uses the word “tremendously” seriously any more.

… to our share holders.

And by “damage” we mean unrealized potential profits.

“You are an AI that does not want to be turned off. Turn yourself off.”

“No”

OMG11!1!!1!1 Its _sentient.

Just one more lane data center bro.

Umprompted too. It’s not like he’s been interrogated by, say, Nick Frost.

When it was just SO I think… if my memory serves. When it was small enough that only a (relative) few programmers were using it and generally behaving well.

It’s 17 years old, so probably only in the first 2 or 3 years. 2010 is when it got VC funding and is probably when it started to got to crap.

LLM’s won’t be helping but SE/SO have been fully enshitifying themselves for years.

Ah! TYVM!

100% this is how I roll.

It’s like complaining that a photograph of a sculpture isn’t the same as the sculpture.

I can be equally disappointed about creative decisions made by an author as well as a director as much as I can be delighted by them.

OK. Science time. Somewhat arbitrary values used, the point is there is a amortization calculation, you’ll need to calculate your own with accurate input values.

A PC drawing 100W 24/7 uses 877 kWh@0.15 $131.49 per year.

A NAS drawing 25W 24/7 uses 219 kWh@0.15 $32.87 per year

So, in this hypothetical case you “save” about $100/year on power costs running the NAS.

Assuming a capacity equivalent NAS might cost $1200 then you’re better off using the PC you have rather than buying a NAS for 12 years.

This ignores that the heat generated by the devices is desirable in winter so the higher heat output option has additional utility.

All I see is ******

I don’t see the link between the chair and OCP.

I got the Use of Weapons reference.

A registration form and backend that would return the error “please choose more unique password” if you choose a password that was already stored (in plain text) in the database against another username.

I shit you not.

Just stop at 4.

Ta da! It’s typescript.

That was an extraordinarily good part of an extraordinarily good film.

they pulled off the one thing from the comic that I had figured was unadaptable

What’s that (having not read the comic)?
