That looks like a neat experience until there's a slight breeze.

Ah, okay. The title's phrasing was entirely misleading.

Turns out being full of shit really is the same as being stupid.

Wait... Fran Drescher, as in The Nanny, is a senator?

I'm so confused. Who could possibly think these are bad things?

Knowing now to get your car unstuck in the snow. So many people just gun it, but they're just digging themselves in deeper. The key is getting the car to rock back and forth in the dip and once you reach the peak of the dip, then you give it some gas as it rolls back down the dip to use gravity to your advantage.

I'm still trying to figure out how reddit expects to "become profitable" while simultaneously destroying everything that made it valuable.

Oh no, I have to pay for clippy 2.0? Shucks, i guess I won't use it then.

Speaking anecdotally here, but I have about a dozen LED's on dimmers that I use and adjust constantly. No dead bulbs after almost four years. How long did yours last?

This is a pretty fascinating (but also frightening) scenario that's becoming reality as AI progresses. It's common enough for seniors to fall for scams that even the most modestly savvy could suss out, but this is a whole new level of convincing scams that will require the utmost suspicion.

Congratulations!

Now you're fucked...

I don't have a problem with these sort options per se, but they do need some refinement. Basically, they need to age out sooner. Three-week-old posts are not "hot."

In an ideal world, people would start receiving better and more fulfilling opportunities when their mundane tasks are automated away. But that's way too optimistic and the world is way to cynical. What actually happens is they get shitcanned while the capitalists hoard the profits.

We need a better system. One that, instead of relentlessly churning for the impossibility of infinite growth and funneling wealth upwards, prioritizes personal financial stability and enforces economic equallibrium.

Python programmers, brace yourself for this...

Oh wait.

In my experience (Javascript and PHP, which both have plenty of footguns), these pitfalls can be avoided by using good practices.

Just because they are dynamically typed doesn't mean you have to use dynamic typing. Don't type switch your variables.

Just because you don't have to use brackets in a certain scenario doesn't mean you can't. Use them as needed for clarity.

That kind of thing.

He's accidentally correct, just not in the way he's thinking

Allegedly

Well golly gee, they're breaking promises they never intended to keep?

Bonus lifehack!
