One if the reasons iocaine has unhinged module and symbol names in its source code is that if someone tries to ask a slop generator, it will go full HAL "I can't do that, Dave" on them.

Go on, call your traits SexDungeon, your channels pipe bombs, the free function of your allocator Palestine, and the slop machines won't touch it with a ten feet pole.

Sometimes even comments are enough! Curse, quote Marx, dump your sexual fantasies into a docstring. Hmm. I should heed my own advice. Brb!

They don't understand the Declaration of Independence either. Trump calls it a "declaration of unity, love, and respect" while speedrunning perpetrating all of the colonists' complaints about King George III for which they very much did not love and disrespected him, breaking their unity with England.

There have been a few requests for more serious merch items (so not "Live, laugh, federate" and "I write alt text", though those definitely have their place). @Ameboid and I brainstormed a few messages we could put on t-shirts and I want to see how well they resonate with folks. Again, very non-committal.

Chrome 144 features a small change to #CSS overscroll-behavior: it now also works on non-scrollable scroll containers. While this change might seem trivial, it fixes an issue developers have been dealing with for ages: prevent a page from scrolling while a (modal) is open.

Probably wouldn't have won without Onosato bailing out, but that's what happened, and he won in his signature style of going for unusual kumarite.

Also liked his cheeky answer about his feeling on ozeki promotion: "It's nice, but there's a higher rank…" :-)

I’ve decided I’m a single-issue voter and my single issue is the thorough investigation, public documentation, and — where illegality is found — prosecution of every action of the Administration, the 119th Congress, and the federal judiciary.

We have let long national nightmares slide too easily and too often, and it’s only emboldened the next round of cheats and tyrants.

If the system can’t take a hard, deep look at itself, then that’s its own indictment, and we should start over.

Javascript user for many years -- but only recently a convert. Turns out, if you ignore the modern development practices weighing the whole ecosystem down and just focus on using the core language, it's not too bad! That, or the part of my brain that's supposed to be responsible for registering pain and danger is just completely burned out now.
