Arse over tit is in an identical British expression for the same thing

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ass_over_teakettle

It's the same as 'head over heels' in that the bottom part of your body (your ass) and the top part of your body (your breast/chest) switch places.

I feel like we have to assume the description of how your body moves is the prime definition (head over heels, or any variation) and any substitution of words like ass over teakettle is a playful alteration which works and is understood primarily because people are familiar with the original and understand the alteration through context of use.

Ass over tit, I have heard.

Which I expect ass over teakettle is actually a polite euphemism for

Good.

If a customer service agent made this discount offer and took the order, it would naturally have to be honoured - because a human employee did it.

Companies currently are getting away with taking the useful (to them) parts of AI, while simultaneously saying "oh it's just a machine it makes mistakes, we aren't liable for that!" any time it does something they don't like. They are having their cake and eating it.

If you use AI to replace a human in your company, and that AI negotiates bad deals, or gives incorrect information, you should be forced to be liable for that exactly the same as if a human did it.

Would that mean businesses are less eager to use AI? Yes it fucking would, and that's the point.

A previous (huge) company of mine sent out a lot of phishing test emails, some of which were pretty convincing.

As developers, we quickly discovered that all the emails had a metadata header in them which identified them as a phishing test, so we set up a filter for it so every email since is clearly coded with a bright red "Phishing test!" label.

I'll say this now.

Inheritance is the most misused capability of OOP which programmers think makes their code look smart, but most of the time just makes a giant fucking mess.

I backed the original Oculus Rift, and felt massively betrayed when they sold to Meta. :(

For years since I've been waiting for A VR solution that plays nice with Linux and is at least somewhat privacy-respecting, and I have been absolutely unwilling to buy a Quest device or anything else. I want to play VR but I'm not willing to sell my soul for it. So it's been an unhappy but conscious boycott from me.

I too then am super looking forward to the Steam Frame because it's the device I need to get back into VR and feel happy and excited about it, rather than disgusted.

Also, every interview:

"So, why do you want to work with us, specifically?"

These categories of geometric problem are ridiculously difficult to find the definitive perfect solution for, which is exactly why people have been grinding on them for decades, and mathematicians can't say any more than "it's the best one found so far"

For this particular problem the diagram isn't answering "the most efficient way to pack some particular square" but "what is the smallest square that can fit 17 unit-sized (1x1) squares inside it" - with the answer here being 4.675 unit length per side.

Trivially for 16 squares they would fit inside a grid of 4x4 perfectly, with four squares on each row, nice and tidy. To fit just one more square we could size the container up to 5x5, and it would remain nice and tidy, but there is then obviously a lot of empty space, which suggests the solution must be in-between. But if the solution is in between, then some squares must start going slanted to enable the outer square to reduce in size, as it is only by doing this we can utilise unfilled gaps to save space by poking the corners of other squares into them.

So, we can't answer what the optimal solution exactly is, or prove none is better than this, but we can certainly demonstrate that the solution is going to be very ugly and messy.

Another similar (but less ugly) geometric problem is the moving sofa problem which has again seen small iterations over a long period of time.

Take note AAA studios - this is how you do it.

With this pricing, Silksong may be the only game this year that I'll actually purchase on release day.

Meanwhile the cat:

"My side-human down the road at number 6 (who thinks she's my main human by the way) kissed me with lipstick on, and now my main humans at number 12 are going to figure out I've been eating six meals a day"

The only thing on my phone that's allowed to notify me are messaging apps, and even then, only for direct messages, not groups.

Social media, games, sites, and everything else can all fuck right off - you do not get to demand my attention unbidden, and if you misbehave you are going in the trash.

That's pretty damn cool, to be fair.

The whole "discard if damaged" is likely just standard cover-your-ass legalese which the lawyers will copy-paste on every single product they sell, including this one.

I can't quite identify the point at which this turns from real to parody

Isn't this The Entire Point?

That there is value in truth, even if the truth is painful?

That we should believe in and fight for a cause, even if fighting is hard?

Can we just fucking STOP doing SUVs please? And huge trucks. And all the rest of that oversized garbage.

We needed to label them because the requirement was not only that we don't click them, but that we use the "report phishing" function on them.

Also some of them were pretty funny.
