It it extraordinary watching a small team lead by a convicted felon tear down the US from the inside with seemingly full authority.

Lord Jesus F Christ. The author writes a complete electronics book and gives it away for free, and your entitled rectum moans about having to type $0 to get it for free?

then spreading this experience as proven and applicable in any context

It's worse. People don't even need to have personal experience to spread misinformation. They just read it online and then spread it like gospel.

Misinformation in the likes of "Wood glue it stronger than wood", "Burning Diesel/Kerosine can't reach temperatures required to melt steel".

Thoughts and prayers for the poor soul that owns the bug.

I've done my share of embarrassing mistakes and each time I've felt awful. Nothing on this scale though.

We swapped cassettes and then copied them in hillbilly double cassette deck.

I'm sold.

I'll give Typescript yet another go. I really like it and wish I could use it. It's just that any project I start, inevitably the sourcemap chain will go wrong and I lose the ability to run the debugger in any meaningful way.

Wow, this is nice. I've had a thing like this (well, for German) in my mind for years but knew I'd never create it. Thanks!

You beat me to it.

This is exactly like when you're teaching a new game to a group and you play an "open test round" - cards up and everyone can see all card/secrets and the sole purpose is for everyone to learn the game.

Wow, thanks! I'm only partially in but I do recommend reading it. It's quite readable.

Mr Padgett then made the remarkable assertions that this was a “fairly minor display issue” and that the Claimant “had not been negatively impacted and was in fact paid out the correct amount as determined by the RNG and in line with Paddy Power’s terms and conditions.”

Stopping here, despite the absence of a witness statement from the Claimant, I do not accept those assertions by Mr Padgett. £1 million is a life changing sum for the vast majority of people in England and Wales. It could abolish debts, feed families, buy houses, pay for private medical care and many other vital matters in life. I infer that, like the majority of the population, the Claimant hoped and maybe dreamed of winning over £1 million. So, when she did so, on 18.10.2020, and when that sum was then taken away from her, that cannot properly or fairly be characterised as a “fairly minor display issue” and it is wrong to assert that the Claimant has “not been negatively impacted”.

Also:

Mr Padgett admitted that 13 other consumers had been affected by the same mislabelling between the 1st of September and the 18th of October 2020 and he listed the dates upon which those events occurred. What he did not do was list the vice versa errors, namely where consumers were shown they had won the Daily Jackpot but in had in fact won the Monster Jackpot according to the RNGS and no evidence was provided at all about the vice versa errors, if any. Nor did he inform the Court about what the Defendant had done in relation to each of those consumers’ wins.

Is the court ruling available to see?

I feel like there are details missing. What happened to those who "really" won the jackpot according to the random number generator? What did the UI show then? Did everyone who won the smaller jackpot actually win the big jackpot? What are the technical details of the glitch?

Based on this incomplete information I'd say a total audit of the system should be carried out.

Oh I know that feeling and it's amazing.

It's so strange, you read the material and sometimes you either struggle with understanding or even don't see how it's relevant and not just a waste of time.

Then when you review it much later, it's like opening a new room of knowledge, it just makes sense and it makes me so happy in a strange way.

I've had this happen often with music theory. Music theory it pretty dull on it's own and small gaps in knowledge excludes you from understanding a lot more.

A few yeas ago my friend had his iphone replaced three times under warranty. Every single time the mic failed and it came up with a message after boot that an audio device had failed. His next phone was an Android one.

The shaky camera is a deal breaker for me. Doesn't matter if it's animated or not, TV series or film. Shaky camera is an instant switch off for me.

It's very interesting how many "non-trivial" things can go wrong with power tools. Kickbacks for example. They sound very trivial when you know about them. But to the layman that does a one off cut with a table saw, circular saw, chain saw, angle grinder, ... it's not so intuitive.

One might say and be very careful but then a kickback shows up and causes brown pants at best, a life changing injury or death at worst.

Exceptions in threads are an absolute killer.

Here's a story of a horror bughunt where the main characters are C++, select() and thread brandishing an exception: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42532979

She mentions the male version with a zip on the front. How does that work, do you just unzip, haul it out and have a go in the freezing cold sea? Don't you fill up the suit with sea?

Does AWS S3 SDK have a list of "compatible services" ?

Introducing the Unbrickable Pledge. ... intent to release ... if and when we ever become insolvent as a company.

First, it's an intent, not a promise. Second, if you are acquired or product sold, then no such promises/intent mean anything anymore. Calling it the "Unbrickable Pledge" sounds like a bit of an overstatement.

Depends if its sesquipedalian, onomatopoeia or supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

I'm good. I forgot to add there would be a nazi salute too!

I like this. We should have a community site that scores websites based on how many dark patterns they use.

This is quickly becoming he most popular video. I'm also viewing the follow up video in my head.

Exactly. But why does he need to buy a USB capture card and HDMI cable? He can just hire someone to come and record the videos for him. They'll also do the post processing.

Why does he even even record the videos himself? He can just hire actors to do what he wants, probably a lot better.

And what's the whole thing with buying a camera? He should just buy a studio and hire a crew to manage all that stuff.

People need to start referring to those products with the "Enshittified" suffix.

That's the Canon G5 X II Enshittified.

If you strip this text to the bare-bones meaning, it reads: "Holy shit, we're f'cked, but here is the best positive spin we can put on it."

They saw the writing on the wall. They didn't want to compete on that level, but rather try to kill it. From "summary of actions":
