What's the derogatory term for boat foamers?

It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I've never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

Catenaries are cool, use them.

General purpose: Kebab case

But really, follow the conventions of what you're working on. For example, I'd use pascal case when working on a Java/Kotlin project, and snake case when working on a Python project.

I consider the question of free coffee to be a litmus test for any company. If you're not offering it, you are unequivocally a loser not worthy of running a company:

  1. It costs next to nothing
  2. Caffeine makes the workers more productive
  3. Your best outcome is workers who drink a healthy amount of coffee every day

The expected return of offering free unlimited coffee for any work place is positive - and the inverse of not offering free coffee is hence negative.

I don't know if it matches your desire for easy install of small disk space, but it might make up for it in other arenas - Ruby is my new-found love when making simple scripts. Being able to mostly emulate the shell integration that bash has by just using backticks to call a shell command is the killer feature in my book.

No, they changed it because it's a more appropriate term for the phenomenon. While global average temperatures are rising, the net effect of having more energy in the system is change (broadly speaking for the negative).

Using 'global warming' as a term gives misinformation spreaders an easy tool to undermine the concept on a cold year/winter. 'Climate change' cannot be undermined in the same way, because anyone can plainly see that the climate ain't exactly what it used to be.

Spill the beans!

I'm sure they make enough money to not care. Being in the part of the company that brings in the dough is generally a pretty good position to be in as well.

While Rust would probably have been a good choice for implementing a new browser, I don't think Swift deserves the criticism it's getting in this thread:

  • Swift was created by the same person who created Rust, and has many of the same nice traits
  • Swift is a modern language that is easy for plenty of developers to pick up; I'd place it in the same family as Rust and Kotlin
  • Swift grants access to a large pool of native iOS/Mac developers

Podcasts often dynamically generate ads at the point of download, making the SponsorBlock-approach unviable: since the media is expected to be variable-length you can't store media positions that map to advertisement segments.
