It doesn’t matter if it’s truly a one-off.

However, the conventional wisdom is to split the potentially reusable part as a library package and the executable to be a thin layer on top of that library.

In this way, for example, testing can just depend on that library. In the future, if there are requests that calls for a separate executable, the library can be reused.

So it was you……

Might as well buy steam cookers instead.

It’s app level injection, so presumably if you install GrapheneOS or use a different “smart feed app” (some kind of launcher for Motorola? I haven’t used one before), it won’t affect the user. Although, I agree it’s a pretty bad look on the QA of preloaded apps.

It’s not permanent, but lifetime. When they go bankrupt, they’ll just eliminate those subscribers.

These are super computers for HPC, not “AI model training”. The link inside is saying it’s using AI to do quantum chemistry, not developing AI itself.

Plot twist: the criminal joined as well and used the group for construct an alibi.

Reason why people love Scream: mood

Need to put it before the horse’s head?

It’s like “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.” Nobody ever got fired for pitching a migration to GitHub. It doesn’t have to be good. Then one day it’s crumbling down and people will have to learn to face consequences.

Blame Gen Z.

Reminds me of the copy “Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn?” from Mad Men S2E6.

Try Shift + Right Stick…sorry that’s the launch missile button.

Alien kind.

I have an environment friendly alternative to this method. It involves tea leaves…

It’s reserved for really close friends (sometimes also relatives). The problem is not the extent of politeness per se, but one that exceeds the “expected” politeness. If you’re politer than you’re supposed to be, you are being too 客气 (“acting like a guest”) or 见外 (“looking like a stranger”).

Although, the expected politeness is sometimes tricky to know as it depends on each part’s perception of the relation. On top of that, there’s also the supposed “acting” of politeness, like fighting to pay restaurant bills.

This is actually not that hard to understand. Note that across cultures, close friends can insult each other as jokes. So showing less politeness is like an insult, but with the understanding of the participants, it becomes a show of closeness.

Granted, I really had to look for that meaning.

I just realized this wasn’t an evil name across cultures as I have always thought.

Its Chinese translation 天网 (literally sky + net) is a word used for at least for 2,000 years and is still very actively used among the daily vocabulary. It’s a metaphor for law enforcement (especially the destined punishment for going against the “good natural order” i.e. the sky).

Traditionally, it’s neutral or commendatory, but nowadays due to the association with surveillance networks (both metaphorically and literally), it’s more derogatory.
