@chjara@akko.wtf "progress bar keeps going but the video doesn't actually play" I won't call this particular one weird, video timecode is an extremely complicated problem, and broken ones happen all the time, all can create weird effects when you seek it via the progress bar.

@puniko auto instance-generation spam related?

If your definition of "chemical" is very accurate almost all weapons could be considered "chemical weapons"

Q: How many Prolog programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?

"Proof. You should have already solved this exercise problem from the last chapter! Q.E.D."

Q: Where do quantum physicists go for a drink?

A: an h-bar.

"RISCV CPU made of just simple components, no FPGAs or ASICs."There may be no FPGAs per se, but when almost every single building block of your CPU is "PLA/microcode-defined" via programmed bits in a bunch of EEPROMs (albeit in the old-school way) without discrete logic, it can hardly be described as "contains only simple components".

@rq@borg.social RMS said the huge success of GNU/Emacs was half a mistake because many people were already happy enough to use Emacs as if it's an actual platform, reducing the motivation of OS dev as a consequence (yes, the "Emacs is an OS" joke was a real thing).

@leila@brain.worm.pink @rq@borg.social don't think so. HTML parsing has probably been disabled by default.

@rq@borg.social It's why I need two monitors.

@xanathar@hachyderm.io @MotivicKyle@mathstodon.xyz "in functional programming, state and church do not mix."

Q: What do you say when physicists discovered electromagnetism but didn't fully understand it in the 1850s?

A: Things were still in flux.

Industrial system programming can be CapitalIntensive.

"It's GPT-2 Small, which is only ~125 million parameters. That's big, but it's not out of reach for modern versions of Excel. The final spreadsheet is a 1.25 GB file."There's finally a more cursed Excel project other than those partial differential equations solvers written by engineers. https://spreadsheets-are-all-you-need.ai/index.html

Q: What do you call an explicit cosplay?

@chjara@akko.wtf Yes. Bil Herd said that shining white light to a controller die to force a reset was a standard debug technique during his time at MOS Technology. Not so sure about modern chips though.
