Is "asim" short for "a simulation"?

the punchline is "emacs orgasm mode"

Yes. My punchline is "what's the i doing there?"

The jokes on me and my bad spelling. Sorry I spoiled the delivery

Isn't this part of the comment thread basically about reflexes?

They're not saying moderation is good on either store. They're unconvinced that the web is, as you worded it, "much safer."

They never suggested the moderation is good and that there are no scams on the stores.


The web does not have an entry portal like an app store so nobody gets malicious websites pushed to them. If that is not the definition of much safer, I don't know what do you guys expect.

Yes, but there’s also less moderators filter out and block malicious websites. It goes both ways. Give and take. The www is more free, but to say that it’s safer is disingenuous.

Maybe I'm too much of a left-winger and don't get enough right-wing content, but this would be news to me, unless you and I also have very different notions of what "a lot of republicans" means.

Megyn Kelly Suddenly Finds Pedophilia Very Hard to Define When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she’s splitting hairs about men “into the barely legal type.”


> I consider this malicious compliance

Hadn't thought of it that way before but this sounds spot-on.


Google Photos too

I'm not sure what platform of Google Photos you were trying, but on the web and mobile app, you can drag to select sequential photos (i.e multi-select).

Does it do the right thing if you ask if to turn on the under cabinet lights?

No, it turns on my office ceiling fan

I don't have kids so I never thought about it from that angle, but I really dislike how yell-y so many modern animated shows are. Couldn't make it through a single episode of Rick and Morty.

I'd never thought how it might impact kids, but now that you mention it, I can only dislike the trend more.


Invader Zim (2006) was a great cartoon but every character was basically screaming every line of dialogue

Jhonen Vasquez was previously best known for Johnny The Homicidal Maniac, an insanely dark graphic novel. I'm still stunned that the powers that be thought he should write an animated children's show. That said, I love Invader Zim. Taquitos!

Rick and Morty is absolutely not a kids show.

Yes, sorry, I had a non-sequitur between my two sentences. The first was about modern animated shows. The second was about how dialog in shows (not necessarily Rick and Morty) could affect kids.

Regardless, I also highly doubt that Rick and Morty is only consumed by people who are no longer susceptible to getting cues on how to interact with others from media.


As a former CF employee, I'd say it's a mixed bag.

There are plenty of resources , yet it's somehow never enough. You do tons of pretty amazing things with pretty amazing tools that also have notable shortcomings.

You're surround by smart people who do lots of great work, but you also end up in incident reviews where you find facepalm-y stuff. Sometimes you even find out it was a known corner case that was deemed too unlikely to prioritize.

The last incident for my team that I remember dealing with there ended up with my coworker and I realizing the staging environment we'd taken down hours earlier was actually the source of data for a production dashboard, so we'd lost some visibility and monitoring for a bit.

I've also worked at Facebook (pre-Meta days) and at Datadog, and I'd say it was about the same. Most things are done quite well, but so much stuff is happening that you still end up with occasional incidents that feel like they shouldn't have happened.


DCs altogether are about 1.5% according to https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-and-ai/executive-summary .

Tangent, but "outage" and "7 month" makes me feel like we need a new word.

Maybe modern day and tech has given "outage" a much shorter connotation than what it meant in the past.

7 months? That's almost longer than the Christmas offseason.
