When AIs dream, what do they dream about?

Only in backwater countries that still use those antique washing lines that break with every instance of bad weather.

Ever had spaghetti ice cream with strawberry sauce and grazed white chocolate as “parmesan”

Hacking. Each and every time it is part of a movie or TV series.

I’m outing me as ancient:

• M.U.L.E.
• Load Runner
• The Castles of Dr. Creep
• Seven Cities of Gold
• Paradroid
• The Sentinel
• Hanse / Kaiser / Fugger

Second that! Worms was great fun when hanging out with friends.

Let’s put it this way: You can produce unreadable code in basically any language. With Perl, it is just a bit easier.

And of course if you have the discipline of a good programmer, even your casual Perl programs should be readable. That’s what differenciates a good programmer from a hacker.

I have to admit that using CL-PPCRE does not really help me understanding the regexp any better. But this may be because I deal with complex regexps for decades now, and I just read them.

Thanks! Now I know what that meme is about.

At least those were a) just banner ads and b) not as annoying as modern JS/HTML5/popup/popover ads are. You just scrolled down a few pixel, and had 100% information.

FDunny, though, that I only know Pepperidge Farm from memes. I assume that is/was an American brand, right?

Those were one of the later plagues, too.

My first contact with the web (I had been in the internet for some time already) was when a collegue at university told me about the Arena browser, and this new system, “like Gopher, but with Hypertext and pictures”. And yes, I’ve seen the CERN website, served from Tim Barners-Lee’s NeXT cube, too.

So yes, I knew the web before there were ads, the internet when services were normally open to all sides, and when people on the internet that were actually much smarter than average.

I wonder how future historians will compare the October 7th, 2023 and the April 19th, 1943 events.

I remember life without adblockers. Back when they were not needed, because web sited did not have ads.

Logical conclusion from those statements: X is not trustworthy. Well, we all knew that already.

That is actually not the issue. The point is that about 80%+ of European gas prices are taxes.

There is actually an official clarification from LEGO that the 99 years is definitely not a hard upper limit.

Wenn du die Deutsche Automarke normal Deutsch aussprichst ist es erst ein ungerundeter halboffener Vorderzungenvokal, dann ein ungerundeter halbgeschlossener Vorderzungenvokal und am Ende ein Schwa.

Wenn Du meinst. Für mich macht das keinen Unterschied.

I am not French, but I feel your pain.
