Schadenfreude literally means "shameful joy", so it's kind of built into the word itself. Someone who doesn't feel at least a little tinge of wrongness is someone who's broken.
Hanna Arendt coined the best term of all for it: The Banality of Evil.
No who remembers WAP has any desire to see anything like it return. A 'lite' subdomain is far easier and more effective by not trying to reinvent the entire stack. As for WML, I'd say transport-level compression made…
The "But" and the quotes suggest that the GP reply might be sarcastic? Poe's Law in action I guess.
"It's life, Jim, but not as we know it."
On Apple devices it's L4/Darwin, aka "sepOS".
Everybody and their dog copy-pasted answers from SO, and I think anyone trying a copyright strike for three lines of code wouldn't make it up the steps. Usually I did add a link in a comment back to the SO answer, but…
Agreed. There was frequently a better answer that was ranked lower, but the top one was rarely actually wrong. SO had a litany of failings that many to this day are still denying, but that wasn't one of them.
"We're not answering your question because it has words another question has, you're wrong for saying it doesn't answer your question, and you're wrong for thinking we were wrong." That's a bit clearer. Bit long to…

> What the hate-leaders tell us to think about the mullahs and Iran, we could easily have thought about our own nations just a half a lifetime ago... Or where they'd still like to take us. The only problem they have…
Yep, Florida ordering you to remove every one of your cameras from state highways didn't happen. Entire states moving to ban your product isn't a thing. And of course there are no tanks in Baghdad.
Unless your name is Raymond Chen, you probably want to at least use ATL/MFC, which are frozen but still supported. Me, I'd take Qt any day, or wxWidgets if I wanted to go minimal.
It's definitely a better language than Matlab, and Numpy made it actually fast for that purpose. AI research really took advantage of that even before LLMs hit the scene.
I remember falling in love with Python when I first learned it at version 1.5, liked it even more with 2.0, but when 3.0 came around, that's when I noticed the ecosystem falling apart. Not for the obvious…
It's really uncommon now, but it's still possible. I hit it two days ago with deepseek 4.1 flash, and I've had coworkers report that happening with Gemini.
My own anecdote: I have seen frontier models get stuck repeating the word "the" until it fills up the context. I really don't care to argue the capabilities of LLMs or their somehow simultaneous lack thereof; I'll just…
It was certainly assisted by AI, but there isn't an agent out there that does that kind of cheating without deliberate prompting by the operator. I've taken a vibe-coded project pretty far, with even better testing than…
Of course, I didn't mean to imply it took zero effort to copy one, though I guess that's how it read. You'd have to find a skilled jeweler that's also willing to commit treason, so for sure the barrier wasn't…
The signets were "unforgeable" in that the penalty for copying one was death by being tortured, hanged, drawn and quartered.
It's usually phrased slightly differently as if for a clarification. That response does get used quite a bit, but it only tends to work as an objection during a trial, since the judge would prefer to move things along.…
That sounds pretty similar to what Valgrind does, basically runs your program in a VM with that kind of instrumentation. The details of how it works are way past the boundaries of my own knowledge though :)
