Hm, 8.8.8.8? That was 5 years after Gmail.

Docs, Sheets, and Slides were all acquisitions. I guess Drive and Forms are good.

Some of those laws are no longer on the books, so I wonder about that one. Like, what does "around the town square" actually mean? There's not a straightforward "town square" in Oxford. And while the article asks "What exactly happened to make Oxford so protective of its town square?", you and I both know the answer is "drunk college students". Also funny that they don't actually show the public sidewalk, but instead the little square between Elliot and Stoddard for the sidewalk law.

Edit: a quick search through the municipal traffic codes doesn't reveal anything, so I'm guessing this is one of Miami's many rumors that happened to get picked up by a less-than-thourough website. Or potentially it used to exist but no longer does. Or maybe I missed it, but I'm willing to bet that's not the case.

You can actually use Zstandard as your codec for 7z to get the benefits of better compression and a modern archive format! Downside is it's not a default codec so when someone else tries to open it they may be confused by it not working.

ChatGPT makes you a 10x developer, so using it for one year is like ten years of experience ^/s

I thought, "1.4 billion pounds of cheese can't be a real number, right?" Turns out, it kinda is. 1.4 billion pounds (actually generally 1.45-1.5 billion) is the amount of cheese the USDA stores in cold storage warehouses across the US. And indeed, much of that seems to be in caves in Missouri. But any particular cave probably only stores a few million pounds, although getting specific numbers is rather difficult.

On the other hand, spontaneous generation was very much still a thing at this point, so a lot of the basic rules of the world around us were really not worked out yet

Because it's fake, it's a joke about that GitHub troll a couple weeks ago

Then why are 2012 and 2016 included? It's extremely confusing to have a line graph over time where intervals of time are missing, even if you clearly call attention to it, which they don't here.

JPEG XL has gone through waxing and waning support from each of the major browsers, but Safari is the only one to support it by default.

R uses paste0() for some reason
