It's a stupid thing that

  • exists only in English as far as I know, every other language puts it after the number,
  • is not used consistently (since you still write 25¢ and not ¢25),
  • doesn't follow the way you read it (it's "five dollars" not "dollar five").

It's one of those places where yes, the spelling rules say otherwise, but the rule is fucking stupid so anarchy it is.

I'm more irked by "less", the noun there is dollars so it should be "fewer"...

Anyway, they say it covers Node and to any question regarding Node the answer is "no", I don't need an AI to know webdev fundamentals

It seems that the test itself is generated by autoplag? At least that's how I understand the PS and one of the comments about "vibe regression" in response to an error

Chat-GPT is more powerful than anyone on earth (if you squint)

xD

No sorry, let me rephrase,

Lol, lmao

How do you even grace this with a response. Shut your eyes and loudly sing "lalalala I can't hear you"

Just the usual stuff religions have to do to maintain the façade, "this is all true but gee oh golly do NOT live your life as if it was because the obvious logical conclusions it leads to end in terrorism"

You must first read this 4500-word blogpost, and possibly one or two 3000-word follow-up blogposts”.

This, coming from LW, just has to be satire. There's no way to be this self-unaware and still remember to eat regularly.

Not doing your due dilligence during recruitment is stupid, but exploiting that is still unethical, unless you can make a case for all of those companies being evil.

Like if he directly scammed idk just OpenAI, Palantir, and Amazon then sure, he can't possibly use that money for any worse purposes.

Ah ok, I'm aware of what this is, just never heard "work trial" used.

In my head it sounded like a free demo of how insufferable your new job is going to be

it was a bit of squeeze to add even Gemma3n:e2b onto it

statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

This is so funny, I don't think I've seen this before

Like imagine a cryptobro circa 2020 being like "no, we're not early, this is actually the honeymoon phase and it'll just get worse"

My immediate gut reaction to a rule as general as this is that there's fat chance it's universally applicable, there will always be cases where active would be clunky.

Like I can't imagine an RPG protagonist exclaiming that "Someone trapped this chest!" instead of the 100% more natural "This chest was trapped!"

This article is wild already, on the first page there's this quote

‘Do not use the passive voice when such use makes a statement clumsy and wordy. . . Do not, by using the passive voice, leave the agent of the verb vaguely indicated, when the agent should be clearly identified.’ [Edwin Woolley, Handbook of Composition, 1907, p. 20]

Emphasis mine on... a clear usage of the passive! In active this would have to be "when you should clearly identify the agent" or something of the like, the fuck, how hard is it to not expose your whole ass like this mate
