Not funny, but interesting!

Palikúr

I'd never heard of this language - Palikúr is an indigenous South American language spoken in Brazil and French Guiana (only 1500 speakers).

Andy still won the series (hurrah), so the hotdog failure is just funny - it's not like all the other hotdogs worked out either!

He breaks his miserable front quite a few times, my favourite being when the robot shows where to plug in the charging cable.

I've been coding long enough that I still think of that as a fairly new thing in JS.

I assumed it was vandalism, not insurance fraud. I guess it's easier to get away with slashing tyres looking like a human than as a dubious bear.

I thought we were finally agreeing fully! My understanding of the question is "what is the difference between a third (of a pizza, say) and a half?"

1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
1/2 = 1/3 + 1/6
a half is one sixth more than a third.

btw, I fixed my Kagi screenshot since I'd missed a word from the question (reading comprehension's clearly not my strong point today)

Ah, you're right - I misunderstood jbrain's point to just be about the "relative to the original" understanding. Guess I'm no smarter than Google's AI.

The ExplainXKCD is great:

In truth, no such spoon is present on the probe, and Europa's icy crust is too thick to be penetrated by a spoon of such size.

The author is either being very tongue-in-cheek or very literal and humourless and I'm enjoying it both ways.

~~Yes, and the Google AI response is correct (and quite clear) in what it says.~~ edit: Thanks Batman. I mean that Google's understanding of the question is logical (although still the maths is wrong as you say (now I've re-read you)) and its answer explained the angle it was answering from.

However, I think the reasonable assumption for the intention behind the question is relative to a whole. I had third of a pizza, and now I have an extra sixth of a pizza. It's subtle, but that's the kind of thing AI falls down on.

The normal complaint new Zellij users have is that it has a lot of keybindings which are likely to conflict with programs like nvim or Helix that use a lot themselves. Before, the workflow was to lock Zellij with ctrl-g which let input go through to the focused shell/program.

The new mode has most of the keybindings behind the ctrl-g lock, e.g. a new tab is ctrl-g t n (instead of ctrl-t n). You can still use alt-(cursor) for changing focus and alt-n/alt-f for a new tiled/floating pane, but all other key presses get passed along.

You can switch between default and unlock-first (non-colliding) modes so if you need those alt shortcuts you can lock everything as before.

Plus some other nice features like being able to change modifier keys while running (via the Kitty Keyboard Protocol), and autoloading the new config when you edit the file.

Bacon v3 released (dystroy.org)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Deebster to c/rust
 

Bacon is a Rust code checker designed for minimal interaction, allowing users to run it alongside their editor to receive real-time notifications about warnings, errors, or test failures (I like having it show clippy's hints).

It prioritizes displaying errors before warnings, making it easier to identify critical issues without excessive scrolling.

Screenshot (from an old version I think):

v3 adds support for cargo-nextest, plus some QoL improvements.

v3.0.0 release notes

 

Getting later and later at posting these!

Hover text:

Our nucleic acid recovery techinques found a great deal of homo sapiens DNA incorporated into the fossils, particularly the ones containing high levels of resin, leading to the theory that these dinosaurs preyed on the once-dominant primates.

Transcript:

[Three squid-like aliens in a classroom; one alien stands in front of a board covered with minute text and a drawing of a T-Rex skeleton. Two aliens sit on stools watching the teacher alien. The teacher alien on the left is on a raised platform and points at the board with one tentacle.]
Left alien: Species such as triceratops and tyrannosaurus became more rare after the Cretaceous, but they survived to flourish in the late Cenozoic, 66 million years later.
Left alien: Many complete skeletons have been discovered from this era.

It's going to be really funny when our museums get buried in sediment.
