Somehow still alive after 38 years.

People are having yuk-yuks about this which probably just means, "Include native languages and stories in training data," which seems entirely reasonable and even desirable -- when the far bigger indictment of Canada's federal compute culture is its recent discontinuing of the database of national heritage sites because apparently Ottawa lacked the state capacity to maintain an Excel file. That was a problem. This isn't.

there’s a literacy crisis. back in my day people used to mix up exacerbate and exasperate, now they’re fucking up a part and apart

Never stop saying "dozen" and "half dozen". Never stop using the word you read in an old novella. Never stop using your regional jargon. Don't succumb to an internationalized English stripped of its whimsy and romanticism in the name of streamlining global commerce.

as much as this platform sucks balls after it was acquired by That Guy I think that for a non-profit group focused on protecting digital rights it is important to have as much reach as possible, so again, I get the sentiment, but this is shooting yourself in the foot with no real benefit

67 is gaining popularity over 69 because the economy is struggling. They want you to settle for smaller numbers. Shrinkflation.

I don't see the problem. I'm sure the requirements doc said:

"User must be able to drag a file onto the fonts pane. While hovering, a large red 'do not drop here' symbol centered in an unthemed gray box should interpolate over to the upper right corner of the drop area. The gray box should be flush with the right edge of the drop area, but should remain unaligned off the top edge by seven pixels. The cursor should then change to the background-wait cursor for approximately one second, then change back. The entire application should now close spontaneously, and the cursor should switch to the standard add-a-copy cursor indefinitely. When the user finally releases the mouse button, the cursor can revert to normal, but no action should be taken."

The devs crushed it on this one. I have no idea why you're complaining.

Wife explaining her husband's job to her close friend.

Wife: "He sells software to companies."
Her friend: "Oh nice, like apps?"
Wife: "No. Big software. For running whole businesses."
Friend: "Oh, like Microsoft?"
Wife: "No. A German company. SAP."
Friend: "What's SAP?"

Long pause.

Wife: "Well.... It's… hard to explain. Basically he flies somewhere, finds whats broken in their business, spends 18 months with fixing it, and then everyone panics on this thing called go-live or something."

Friend: "And they pay him for that?"
Wife: "Sometimes they fire him first. Then they call him back."

35+ years in this industry.
She nailed it in 90 seconds.
