Don't forget the death penalty for that Vietnamese robber baron.

I'm quite willing to bet that 70% of the population has no clue that percentages, fractions, and decimals are the same thing.

R and tidyverse is really amazing, the syntax is so natural I rarely need to check the docs on anything to quickly do basic data transformation/plotting. Definitely more intuitive than pandas (and I learnt that first).

Lmao, it's funny how most of these use cases rarely stray from the stereotype of 'I can't spend an hour focusing on something and learn so I'll take a shortcut instead'.

Meanwhile at work all chatGPT has caused is misery as it makes people think they're expert programmers now while I have to debug their shitty code. Do they learn? Nope, just repeatedly serving up slop.

It's white phosphorus if I'm not wrong. Used for 'spotting targets' aka committing war crimes.

I mean, duh. There are always cheaper places to live. But nobody wants to make a 3 hour commute to where the jobs are.

RSS is in no way simple to regular normies.

Plotly has the most pain-in-the-ass syntax compared to ggplot2 IMHO. And that's from a guy who uses a tonne of plotly.

Man I love factorio's art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there's alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don't see that often in other games of a similar style.

Seems like a really roundabout way to do this, surely a unit test (no pun intended) would've been a better solution?
