Love Demetri Martin.
But the real story is weirder: the color is named after the fruit. Prior to the 16th century it was “yellow-red”.
Also carrots were not commonly orange when oranges arrived in Europe. The carrots we’re used to were hybridized from the earlier yellow, red, and purple varieties in the late 18th century.
I just looked it up, and apparently it’s /ɡɛʃ/.
Never would have guessed that.
My favorite version was when Michael used it: “It’s a human insult. It’s devastating. You’re devastated right now.”
That’s not the half of it:
Shit in, shit out. That’s AI.
“On two occasions I have been asked, – “Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” … I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.”
—Charles Babbage, on his analytical engine, 1864
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Hofstadter’s Law: It always takes longer than you think, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.
Do you also believe that the Democratic Republic of North Korea is a democracy just because the name says so?
I used to use a system that was perfectly happy to let you use a semicolon when setting the password, but then login would fail if you did.
Depends on the distro. Some have a configuration setting to allow unfree software or not, others have separate repos.
A similar argument is what finally caused the value of the vi family of editors to click in my brain:
They are designed to be fully functional over even the shittiest possible* remote connection. You can’t always count on ctrl, alt, or even the arrow keys being transmitted in a way that is understood by the remote machine.
*Well, I guess the worst possible terminal would be something like an actual teletype, and in that case you’d probably want to fall back to ed or its descendants. To save paper, if nothing else.
Gah, you’re right. I had it that way at first, but then glanced down a list to check my count and they listed 2002’s Harem Adventures as a separate game even though it’s just the Java phone port of the original.
I’d just like to point out, for the record, that that isn’t the original trilogy. Sands of Time is the fifth Prince of Persia game.
You say that as though he isn’t one of them.
Yeah I’ve definitely heard “up to [amount] or more” used in advertising. Which is just completely meaningless.
apropos is also helpful if you want to do something but don’t know what the relevant tools are.
I think it’s because that’s the more distinctive part of her name. “President Harris” sounds kind of generic, like the fictional president from an action movie.
It may start to constitute a pattern that the same was true of Hillary Clinton, though in that case it was likely that just saying “Clinton” might cause confusion with Bill.
Also Bernie Sanders is mostly referred to by his first name, so…
No, it’s the national symbol of Ukraine.
Fascists love to try to co-opt national symbolism, and sometimes they succeed, but ceding ownership of a 1000 year old symbol (it was used as a seal in Kievan Rus) because some assholes adopted it in 1993 is just letting the fascists win.
Custom official controllers are a thing.
