I wish I was kidding when I say there exist asshole recognition tech already. They’ll just attach that to your advertiser ID so their worldwide network of ‘smart toilets’ can deliver targeted ads to every stall and urinal you visit.

That may be so, but then you things like hayfever where the immune system overreacts to the dumbest shit every year for days on end. I could totally see some innocent extraterrestrial microbe sending the immune system into a self destructive meltdown, or straight up anaphylaxis.

a nation so hardworking…

Or hardly working given how backwards and out of date the work culture is, but sure let’s make this out to be the fault of employees who are likely overworking due to low pay. An extra day off isn’t going to fix the systemic cultural issues, class discrimination, xenophobia… the list could go on and on.

Calling this innovative when Japan has yet to modernize its business practices, or admitting it’s an issue, is disingenuous at best.

Sums up every Node project I’ve had the displeasure of looking at. The lock file being the only thing holding the twisted web of versions keeping that franken-app running between a minefield of incompatibilities and buggy hacks.

Same with Express/Nord VPN sponsorships. Many people debunked the adverising BS they were spinning about blocking tracking when really it only masked a tiny subset.

As someone who studied infosec, those ads were infuriating. Now I just sponsor block it all because I’m beyond tired of it.

God help us all if we have to break out the Emus

It’d be like the phone equivalent of Linux’s diagonal monitor orientation, only now the touch screen experience is beyond fucked.

Strangely enough this might work for round smart watches though.

Hahaha, I wish.

You would be amazed at how ancient and poorly maintained many web servers are on the modern internet. SQL injection still consistently make the top 3 web app vulnerabilities as of 2021. If that isn’t being sanitized properly I don’t expect emojis would be handled much better.

I’m inclined to agree, otherwise it would be like calling a FPV kamakazi drone a missile.

Naming aside, kinda terrifying that these could theoretically be travelling autonomously far deeper than any sub thanks to the lack of a pressure vessel.

You assume that the state ever took responsibility for their role in Chernobyl. To them that was all someone else’s fault just as it will be Ukraine/NATO’s fault for setting off the mines and not bending a knee to Russia’s demands. Real-world logic doesn’t make sense to them, never has.

I’d like to think Typescript does a lot of heavy lifting where JS fails when it comes to web development. On the otherhand there is no fixing fundamental flaws in PHP.

Sure bad programmers write bad code, but if a language tolerates something so obviously janky via implicit unseen magic, it’s just encouraging bad practices. PHP makes this worse by tweaking core behaviours in weird and wacky ways that can easily lead to security vulnerabilities.

I’ve been working with PHP for two years now (not by choice) but I still sometimes forget the weird behaviours these not-arrays cause. Recently I was pushing/popping entries in a queue and it fucked the indexing. I had programmed it like I would any other sane language and it wasn’t until I was stepping through the bug I realised I had forgotten about this.

I hate PHP for so many more reasons. It baffles me why anyone would think it was a good idea to design it this way. Thankfully my current job involves actively burning it down and preparing for its replacement.

As someone else who uses Tailscale behind a CGNAT, this indeed works. I use it for accessing my home server from the office for a year now. You can’t quite self host anything public facing but anything on your tailnet can talk to it just fine.

Theoretically a VPS proxy into the server over the VPN could work for devices not capable of running tailscale but your mileage may vary.
