I have an even more radical simplification: Just list the actual amount of money that the customer is expected to pay directly on the menu and then that same amount of money once again on the bill, just like the entire rest of the world does it!

Oh, I'm so sorry, did you really ask an actual question there? It seemed so obvious to me that making things simpler would make things simpler that the only possible reading in my mind was that you were making a suggestion, stated in the form of a rhetorical question. So I thought it a good idea to pile on, it wasn't my intention to derail.

I grew up long after cars had already become commonplace in our city but we still played in our residential street for drivers had learned to navigate safely around playing children.

If you read the message carefully again you'll see that it informs you what the feature will do if you choose to activate it and requires you to accept this. In no way does it force you to activate the feature.

I became a dollar billionaire somewhere around fifteen years ago when a friend gave me a 5 billion dollar banknote from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, still legal tender at the time. At that time I was already too old to play in the street like a child, but I still to this very day walk in the street in front of where I live every day.

I too have started to receive such PRs to review and it's soul crushing.

– I don't understand what you were thinking here, these changes make no sense to me, could you please be so kind and explain to me why you think this would be an improvement?

– I don't know, the LLM just suggested it.

Nobody needs A or B-grade codebases anymore because they're being made for LLMs, not for humans to read.

That will come back to bite them in the arse, mark my words.

"would undermine the privacy and security of all users,"

But that's the entire point of doing it in the first place, isn't it?

The point is that after you've travelled yourself, you will no longer believe anyone who tries to tell you that people on the other side of the border are evil flesh eaters.

Maybe you wouldn't have believed this before either, in which case travelling wasn't as transformative for you as it has been for others, but that's the primary reason.

Even if you're not technical, it should be possible for you to learn how to write a good bug report if you're interested and as a longtime developer I can tell you from experience that a really good bug report is a real delight to receive.

This code was first published 10 years ago, but I haven't seen any such game yet.

Am I the only one who thinks it's incredibly weird to introduce a new terminal based mail client without mentioning anything at all about how it differs from any of the already existing and popular terminal based mail clients?

I'm only a dude, but I've actually partly dremeled out one of my teeth before, no anesthetic, to drain an abscess that wasn't about to drain itself.

That is patently insane, you can not just write that without mentioning anything about what circumstances could possibly have led to you being in a position where you had access to a drill but had no option but to operate it yourself.

Were you the last survivor on a research station on Antarctica in the middle of winter where the entire crew died of tooth abscesses leaving you the last man standing and help wouldn't be able to arrive for months?

I'm struggling to come up with any other scenario where this could possibly happen.
