  • Refrigerated fresh vegetables are much better than canned. Somewhere in between the '50s and today refrigerated got common and cheap and there was no excuse anymore for buying that soggy canned shit. I would’ve said the '90s were well after that point though. Anybody using canned green beans as a side in the '90s was just coasting on momentum and bad choices I think.

    (There’s reasons to use canned – they make a good soup ingredient if you’re going to boil it to death anyhow, and they store better in your disaster prep bunker. But as a simple side for dinner, not a good choice.)


  • You can try, but you can’t make it correct. My ideal is to write code once that is bug-free. That’s very difficult, but not fundamentally impossible. Especially in small well-scrutinized areas that are critical for security it is possible with enough care and effort to write code with no security bugs. With LLM AI tools that’s not even theoretically possible, let alone practical. You will just need to be forever updating your prompt to mitigate the free latest most fashionable prompt injections.





  • American here who studied German for eight years, graduated with a minor in German, and lived there for one year:

    I’m not sure how to properly translate this children’s book.

    The long word breaks into easily-understood pieces:

    “help-ability-extinguish-group-travel-thing”

    But in order to get a proper concept back out of it you need to know what order the pieces go together in and I don’t know that.

    travel-thing is a vehicle.

    help-ability is emergency services

    Beyond that I have to guess — Is group-travel-thing a crew vehicle, making this a crew vehicle for extinguishing?

    Or maybe extinguish-group is a fire crew and this is a vehicle for fire crews?

    Either way I feel like the author is using a lot more word-parts than they should have to for what is (clearly in the picture) better described as a pump truck.
