  • Haka isn't even religious, what are you on about?

  • Before now, the longest suspension of a parliamentarian in New Zealand was three days.

  • wrong again! CSS is turing complete, and HTML can include inline CSS, so you can implement a Turing machine in HTML only (without external .js files)

  • eww, creep

  • Deep breaths, in and out. And once you're calmed down, please consider why you want someone to die in agony over watermelon flavored vapor

  • Most of their revenue is from ads and selling user data, what prices are they gonna raise?

  • Fair enough. I just thought it had become pretty ubiquitous in the desktop ecosystem, just because HDMI licencing fees are egregious

  • Every single monitor I've seen that's built in the last 8ish years has at least one. All modern graphics cards do too. Are you sure you've not seen them?

  • Memes are much older than image macros. And this here is a textbook example.

    Loss is a meme. Rickrolling is a meme. The Game (which you just lost) is a meme.

  • Those damn democrats in charge of the checks notes the Democratic People's Republic of Korea!

  • Network effect. It's been hard enough to get friends and family to move away from Whatsapp, it's going to be a while till I get them away from telegram as well

  • 2km/s Δv can get you a mun roundtrip at least, once you're in orbit

  • While it's easy to simply revel in the fact that the genociders are now feeling the consequences of their actions, I want to try to channel that energy into something productive: as you said, this is tearing at the seams of Israeli society. This is the time to support groups like New Profile or Mesarvot who are trying to rip it wide open, by supporting deserters and conscientious objectors to the Israeli death machine. It's hard to understand just how far the fascist militarization of Israeli society has progressed, and that needs to get torn down.

  • That's not completely true. The ultra orthodox are not a homogenous block, and some of the most vocal opponents of Zionism and its genocide also come from that camp. The most bloodthirsty people are the ideological, secular Zionists.

  • Some programming languages are indeed cursed (e.g. JavaScript). But for the most part I agree, it's what people do with it. But what's cursed with python is what idioms have become common place.

  • that is so cursed

    And I say that as someone who learnt python as her first language (to be proficient in):

    holy shit is this language stupid

  • gift means poison in a lot of northern European languages, actually. Fun fact: that's because 'gift' (in the sense of 'present') was used as a euphemism for poison so much, the original meaning faded eventually

  • It's funny if they are creative and actually engage with the power. But most just seem to be "you get cancer" type stuff, or just "your power only works in this one hyper specific and useless way"
