This, although I do have to keep an eye on what approach it is taking, because sometimes ... it just gets bizarre. No, no, no!
Then I have to stop it, type a few lines of code or architecture and prompt it that maybe this would be better.
"Oh I see! That would be better"
Ugh.

Attached to: What sort of typist are you?
I guess I could go with IDE .. but the real winner has been github copilot, just reading my mind and having so much code ready for autocomplete as I type. It seems like half of my coding is hitting tab lately.
Don't get me wrong, it makes mistakes, I often have to edit, or undo .. but that's often balanced by times that it suggests something before my brain had even gotten to the next step.
Brave new world ...

This just goes to show that there really is no such thing as a secure provider and the real solution is to have your own server
... and that's not really going to work out well either. https://xkcd.com/538/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.go... Shows that immunization acquired by vaccines are less likely to be bypassed by mutation.
That's interesting but the abstract has a "however" clause that ... needs more explanation and study...

It's not a single component, and it's not made of stone, therefore, it is NOT A MONOLITH!
Now get off my lawn!
It does look yummy and a cool twist on the meme though.

Attached to: Climate Disruption Is Now Locked In. The Next Moves Will Be Crucial.
While I won't contest that it's been a remarkable year, it doesn't help when facts in the premise are in question. for example:
"Death Valley reached 130 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest temperature ever measured on the planet" ... except, this isn't quite accurate.
https://www.history.com/news/t...
While there are some trying to invalidate that claim, it doesn't change the fact that it was pretty darn hot and pretty darn close to the same. I'm just saying, state your premise correctly, or all that follows is suspect.

I always likened the danger of contracting an airborne virus to the possibility of smelling someone's bad breath.
This. I've been saying this or more like smelling someone's perfume... Ever have someone walk in the door and you can smell them in the back? That really makes you wonder about dispersal and ventilation.

So what about people who are unable to have children, will they get offended by references to 'parent'?
This has gotten out of hand, definitely.
I would think it would be more offensive to "fork a child" ...

"We experienced much more traffic than we had prepared for, the website didn't go hard down but experienced slowness." And now it gets posted to Slashdot? Way to go!

What are you going on about? My point is that cows eat grass all the time, from the shortly after they are born. The whole midwest is full of pasture land.

lol Most cows have never even seen grass. Some have, sure. Mostly dairy cows, though.
WAT?

It's big business, grazing the cattle to fatten them up before slaughter.
