@mjg59Oh dear I remember those days.My personal favorite moment was when Nokia started charging developers €160 to file a bug report. My startup at the time was at the tail end of its runway and we were budgeting our bug reports trying to figure out if one report could exercise two different bugs...

@alexandria Some coworkers of mine ran into the delightful "The industrial site from which you need to log in prohibits all external electronic devices including phones and yubikeys; the 2fa timeout is just a hair shorter than the time required to sprint to the parking lot, get a code from your phone, and sprint back."

@lowqualityfacts My headcanon is that it was originally GodAddy because your domain name was meant to be the address at which your deity would speak to you.

@lowqualityfacts Very close, but the movie you are thinking of is in fact _March of the Penguins_.

@lowqualityfacts Is this the post that you were accused of selling out with? Because I could totally believe that this post was secretly funded by Big Genealogy.

@ZachWeinersmith I think about this a lot in the context of Virgil, stamping out one line a day for years.

@ZachWeinersmith "The arc of history is Lyapunov-stable about Justice" doesn't have so great a ring to it.

@ZachWeinersmith Plot twist: 34% of your respondents are DALL-E or Midjourney.

@foone We literally actually tried something like this last summer this for some robot planning algorithms at my company. It works alarmingly well, although less well than other, less stupid tricks.

@ZachWeinersmith Learning the Hotelling theorem was kind of a revelation to me on this point. Like, not only is "quantity of reserves" extremely variable, but it's a variable that's almost completely mathematically determined by variables unrelated to the actual quantity of the thing.And the relationship of interest rates to mineral reserves makes every graph that includes the 1970s and 80s a very specific kind of total nonsense.
