It is drowning in sarcasm, so I would say yes, it is a joke.

Please, printers have never worked, it's a side effect when they do.
How about in a cynical sarcastic context? Do you think "fair" still has no place in it?

That's how I interpreted the original message anyway. I guess I still have hope, maybe foolishly, that people don't mean it literally.

Wine is a carcinogen? Does not look like it from this meta-analysis.

Hm, I never understood the need for serrated bread knives. They make a mess and my chef's knife cuts bread just fine?

Not on a numpad. I heard rumors some actually use it ^^
That read like sarcasm to me tbh, your parent post.
I would say they are changing the promise, not breaking it. Breaking it would have been if they sold data with the old description (which is not the case, is it?).
Re:Tracy: A real time, nanosecond resolution frame profiler on Tuesday September 24, 2024 @06:03AM (#41634923)
Doesn't Tracy have the capability to do sampling as well? I remember using it at some point, even if it was finicky to setup because windows.
Huh, I assumed relatively modern phones would have overcharge protection? Maybe even bypassing the battery when plugged in and fully charged?
I don't see why some tokens could not get associated with "begins with A". The models are obviously not trained enough on such examples to do it consistently, but I would not say they are "blind".

> Retailers could glean valuable insights from tracking how a shopper scans shelves and selects items.

What a dystopian prospect. This being the second possible application thought of (as a good thing!) by a team member is quite disturbing. Have people become so desensitized to the omnipresent ads and tracking that they only consider the monetary rewards anymore?

How am I supposed to complete the LinkedIn quizz for HTML (the programming language) when the documentation states that <bdo> will result in values "anded" together >:(
Re:UHZ1: NASA Telescopes Discover Record-Breaking Black Hole on Sunday November 19, 2023 @10:56AM (#38333786)
Would it be more correct to say it is the smallest _measurable_ length, just like the "size" of the universe is just the limit of what we can observe (measure) ?
Re:UHZ1: NASA Telescopes Discover Record-Breaking Black Hole on Tuesday November 07, 2023 @02:37AM (#38174179)
We are using it as another point in the comparison between our everyday lives scale, and the extremes of our universe.

It turns out, as beings living in the 10^0m scale, we are much closer to the size of the universe 10^27, than to the smallest possible distance, 10^-35.

Which boggles my mind, I did not imagine the Planck length to be this small, if it even makes sense to use the word "imagine".

Re:Improving deep sleep may prevent dementia, study finds on Wednesday November 01, 2023 @01:28PM (#38101657)
Research concerning sleep is very interesting, but also extremely counterproductive for me. Now I have yet another thing to worry about if I don't sleep enough/correctly, and thus I _will_ sleep worse for a while.
That is the option of last resort, when you have already pushed _and_ you cannot mess with the history anymore. The other one being reseting your local branch to a previous commit and force pushing if needed.

Edit: wording

earlyoom is your friend, if you don't care that the process with highest memory usage by default gets killed when shit hits the fan. You can protect processes of your choice if you configure it beyond a apt install.
