You spelled it right.

For those who don’t know – which included me until a moment ago – Heydrich was a key figure in the planning of the Holocaust, in the planning and execution of Kristallnacht, in the formation and running of the Gestapo, in the Einsatzgruppen SS death squads that operated on foreign soil, in the false flag operation that was used as a pretext for the invasion of Poland. He was about to be deployed to combat the French resistance when he was assassinated by Czech resistance soldiers.

He’s right up there with Hitler, Himmler, Göring, Goebbels, etc.

INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW SOLID ORAL™ SPORTS HYDRATION SOLUTION DRINK THING!

They didn’t make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks.

Just to be clear for others, it did so at a crossing. That’s still obviously not what it should have done and it’s no defence of the self-driving feature, but I read your comment as suggesting it had found its way onto train tracks by some other route.

Hah, I figured the second sentence was as parodically on-the-nose as I could manage without a satire indicator.

Hah, I guess my sarcasm got missed on this comment! The premise that fish can’t feel pain because we don’t know for a certainty that they can is blatantly just mental gymnastics to justify the continued practice of a cruel hobby.

So long as you release them after a few minutes, they feel no pain whatsoever. Not even the hook through their mouth or gills.

Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.

Insufficient data!

Was the bench around a corner or jutting out? Was the boy part of a crowd that obscured the bench? Is the bench somehow camouflaged? Is it static and stationary?

Is the boy fully sighted? Is it dark? Did someone distract him? Was he panicked by someone? Could he have deliberately run into it?

There’s meant to be an internal rhyme there, as in “take one down and pass it around”. I suggest “tinker a bit, push a commit”.

Also, “programming code”? I’d go with “legacy app” or “code monolith” or something.

And let’s also change “92” and “99” to be make the refactor comprehensive.

Thanks!

I’ve not used a Dremel - are you clamping the filament end-on, kind of like a pencil lead? Would a drill potentially work in the same way, if so, if you can align it in the chuck properly?

This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.

Could be distension from liver cirrhosis or similar, maybe?

Sonia Sodha is still a contributor to The Guardian and is a massive TERF. The Guardian is one of the better news outlets in the UK, but so long as they give her a platform, fuck them.

A loincloth does typically go between the legs, kind of like a traditional diaper. It’s not just two flaps.

Inspect for yourself.

I have to say I’ve found the Copilot inline suggestions/predictions quite helpful for speeding up repetitive work, although they sometimes get in the way.

I’ve also found its ability to summarise a class in plain English quite helpful when working on projects I didn’t create or haven’t looked at for a long time.

However, I’ve recently been directed to try and port legacy code to modern languages but the same implementation as a rush job, and Copilot has not done well at that at all. It’ll skip bits out because they’re too complex, establish variables and parameters and never use them, or come up with ancient convoluted ways of addressing solved problems.

Exactly this - here’s Bill Hader telling the story in 2014.
