You know that whole “new world order” conspiracy theory thing they keep screeching about?

Well, when folks say “it’s always projection” it’s 'cause it’s always projection.

And Epstein material on their politicians.

This is copium. Nobody’s being brought to justice unless we force it to happen.

This implies that Javascript will get moving in the correct direction once it finishes installing dependencies, but it’s just going to get fucked with incorrect behavior that doesn’t even have the courtesy to throw an actual error.

Janeway from Prodigy. Or maybe somebody from Lower Decks, but I can’t decide which.

There are many, many cartoon characters I would vote for over Trump, all the way down to other villainous incompetents like Dick Dastardly or Elmer Fudd.

Space Ghost and Dino Boy Space Ghost or Space Ghost Coast to Coast Space Ghost?

Computing a nonsensical result is itself a failure. Continuing to run while avoiding giving an error in that case accomplishes nothing but to make the program harder to debug.

Sure, I could see that. But on the other hand, this is ostensibly a photo of a building that exists IRL, so clearly it can’t be topologically impossible in an Escher-esque way.

Escher used a lot of repeating patterns. This is more like a Picasso.

Exactly, which is why designing the language to allow it is incompetence.

the programming language that had a stated design goal to do its best and try to keep running scripts that make no sense…

…itself makes no sense. It is wrong and bad that Javascript was ever designed that way in the first place.

Which “1” did it remove? And did it search the string to find a “1” to remove, or did it remove whichever character happened to be at array index 1?

It is ‘comprehensible’ in the sense that it’s possible to figure out how it happened, but it absolutely does not “make sense” in terms of being a reasonable language design decision. It’s 100% incompetence on the part of the person who created Javascript.

CDs are sometimes still the only way to put an OS on old gear.

Spoken like a person who doesn’t own a floppy drive. 😞

My 2000s-era cars don’t* have tape decks, unfortunately. I say “unfortunately” because they also don’t have line in, USB, or Bluetooth, so their AM/FM/CD car audio units are, in 2025, objectively inferior to the AM/FM/cassette ones in my 1990s-era cars.

* Present tense because I still own cars from the '90s and 2000s. I refuse to own any car capable of violating my privacy, which is every new car.

TBF, a chicken that big would be absolutely terrifying and an amazing mount to ride into battle if it were trainable and reliably on your side. So it’s really not that bad of an outcome, even if it wasn’t the one intended.

Be prepared for some respondents to choose the middle option as a proxy for “not applicable,” because that’s what I did.

One existing study that surveyed the general population found that about 8.4% of respondents were self-hosting users

Wow! That’s a lot higher than I would’ve expected. My guess would’ve been about 1%, or maybe even an order of magnitude or so less than that.
