What's wrong with putting tampons in the men's restrooms at schools? Won't they come in handy if there is a shooting?

Anyway, this reads to me like free advertising for Walz.

(Disclaimer: do not try to use a tampon to patch a bullet wound)

I find it funny that the same people who are against government regulations and giving more power to the state are the ones voting for this. They also seem to be so poorly informed that they think it'll stop anyone from watching this content lol.

If the ICC has no jurisdiction, why are they all worried about the investigation? Let them do their thing, then just nod and say "OK" afterwards.

Also, I love how the US refuses to allow itself or certain close allies to be held responsible for war crimes. At least we can criticize our own government though, could be a lot worse I suppose. Still, maybe don't do those? That'd be great.

It had me at the start. About halfway through, I realized it was written by someone who needs to seek mental help.

I hadn't heard of Gab AI before, and now I know never to use it.

This advice mostly applies to people who are less experienced and less familiar with just how complex HTML can be. As for other languages - if you're doing regex on markdown, you'll probably be fine (but you should verify if you're writing something for the general case that must not fail). But in HTML's case:

  • You have nested languages (CSS and JS)
  • You have tag-specific rules (img and link end in />, but div must end in a separate closing tag)
  • Browsers use error correction to try to make sense of invalid HTML, like inserting missing tags. Many websites rely on this behavior.

If you're trying to use Regex to parse a specific website's HTML, you'll be able to get what you want eventually, but as a general HTML parser, there will always be some website that breaks your assumptions.

I know you're joking about the bug report, but you could open an issue about it anyway if it genuinely is a thing. I did a quick search though and it looks like it was a transition period between two different calendars. Maybe chrono intentionally assumes Gregorian calendar, or some simplified version of it at least?

Edit: found this in chrono's readme:

Only the proleptic Gregorian calendar (i.e. extended to support older dates) is supported.

I wouldn't open an issue actually since this is specifically called out already.

This post seems to be largely about the value of product ownership and the harm that DRM brings to the end user, and does a great job at making that point. However, the title seems to have caused a different discussion to spawn in the comments about whether piracy of digital content is justified. This is just a casual reminder to read the article before replying in the comments.

Story points and velocity always felt to me like a flawed metric. It encourages volume of work, and discourages quality of work. The worse your code is, the more stories and tasks you can create to fix it, and the higher your velocity. It's a bit of a shame that it's used so widely as a measurement of work completed, and I wish a better means of measuring productivity would become more popular instead.

Furthermore, according to certain claims, the Apple Support account on Twitter will no longer respond to customers sending direct messages starting from October 1st. It’s worth noting that Apple has been providing customer support through Twitter since 2016.

Instead of this method, customers reaching out via Twitter will receive an automated response.

Part of me hopes it's "💩".

I mean, this should be a no brainer. Aren't there regulations in place, regardless of amendment-this-or-that, on what can be broadcasted in the US as "news"? I'd have to go check, but regardless, knowingly spreading lies to manipulate your audience isn't really something I'd consider news, just propaganda.

Minecraft. Back when I started playing, it wouldn't even tell you what recipes existed, yet gave you a 2x2/3x3 grid with hundreds of types of items/blocks to figure it out yourself.

Still one of my favorite games though.

If they're living in SF, then it's even less money. It's a lot, don't get me wrong, but it takes a lot of money to afford to live in (or around) that city.
