Roombas have been a thing for many years, long before the current llm craze.

No? You can tell it to stop printing the citation notice.

Why the hell was perl even relevant? Nothing I wrote used Perl.

parallel is written in perl.

Substitute "target date fund" for "S&P 500 ETF" and that describes most retirement accounts... Not exactly niche.

What did HN ever do to him anyways?

Medical gloves are not sterile (outside maybe of ones specifically packaged for use in an OR).

That's clever.

Lots of things don't work with clisp.

The area around 3rd and Blanchard is sketchy, but in the rest of Belltown the biggest hazards are incompetent Uber/lyft/doordash/etc. drivers and drunk people on lyme scooters.

If you're talking about casu martzu cheese, Wikipedia says

Due to these risks, Italian authorities have banned the sale of this cheese, deeming it dangerous. Consequently, it is also prohibited across the European Union, as EU food safety regulations mandate that only food safe for consumption can be sold.

There was also a company I think who spent hundreds of millions of dollars (IIRC) in creating a large grocery website with buying large warehouses then and basically losing a ton of money. That business also failed quite drastically.

Probably thinking of HomeGrocer or WebVan (which bought out the former and then went bankrupt too)

People go to Costco and only get a couple of things and not a cart load? You've got more self control than I.

There's a simple solution to that. Tax the rat farms.

What do the grabbers do?

Until I read some of the comments here, I didn't realize anyone used any other approach with Wordle. A word that doesn't include the known letters is just unnecessarily increasing the number of guesses it takes to solve and doesn't make sense...

And an even bigger influence in Stephenson's first book, The Big U.

There are multiple left lane exits (and onramps!) on I5 in downtown Seattle. Fun times.

We have one of those diverging diamond ones in the general area too (at the I90/SR18 junction). It's interesting to drive through until you get used to it.

The Tu-22M is almost as old as the B-52. They don't want to make more.

Taking the object as the last argument works just as well. Just needs to be consistent whichever way is chosen.

And, for anything but a throwaway one-liner, it shouldn't be made scary at all.

Put the s-expressions back too.

You see that style in SQL too.

I read this as "Perlism" at first and got excited to see perl on HN.

Troops?

Apparently not about the makers of Allegro Common Lisp¹ and assorted graph database tools.

Pretend? Oh, there's no pretending involved.

You're replying to someone other than the original commenter...

These are Count Orlock style vampires, not Lestat and Louis.

No. No there's not. If you get lots of downvotes on answers you might get banned from answering further questions until you improve your reputation score, but there's nothing like what you describe.
