Re:Beauty in DVD Menus

The late '90s had some fun ones, like the Austin Powers DVD that had secret menus and extra scenes (some extremely early on in the movie that went unused). That was a ton of fun and I wish more studios did it like that.

The council meeting alluded to in the article happened a few days ago and is on YouTube[1]. Public comment starts around 23m, the commenters bring up some of the things in the article, and the council still moves to approve around 1h20m.

Re:How to effectively write quality code with AI
on Friday February 06, 2026 @04:08PM (#46918162)
I think it's analogous to writing and refining an outline for a paper. If you keep going, you eventually end up at an outline where you can concatenate what are basically sentences together to form paragraphs. This is sort of where you are now, if you spec well you'll get decent results.
Re:I Now Assume That All Ads on Apple News Are Scams
on Friday February 06, 2026 @09:34AM (#46913307)
Exactly. It's a way to get games that aren't going to immediately ask for other games to be bought or make you watch ridiculous ads to keep playing.
Re:Emoji Evidence Errors Don't Undo a Murder Conviction–People vs. Harmon

It's interesting because like the article says legal teams may have to get smarter about recreating all the context when evidence like this is used. Even if the emojis rendered the reference implementation of Unicode and what vendors actually represent can vary quite a bit by platform or OS version.

Sure, all probabilities go to 1 over a large enough time span. I don't think there's anything useful you can do with that information. Being early is the same as being wrong.

How did Creative end up with offices there? Was there some kind of research going on at Oklahoma State University?

Fascinating article. Seeing the "uni" and wondering if that was in fact the beginning of what we know as uni-ball was neat.
And since the authors' shop is local to me I'm going to have to go see what they've got!
