In order to prevent such a terrible tragedy from occurring ever again during our lifetimes, `left-pad.io` has been created to provide all the functionality of `left-pad` AND the overhead of a TLS handshake and an HTTP request.

There’s something really familiar about it that I can’t quite put my finger on.” Har har!]]> ireland jokes funny tito hq tech-companies dublin via:oisin https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:aa424cdef08e/ 2013-10-23T22:31:37+00:00 http://nybots.tumblr.com/post/64693944409/twoheadlines-comedy-tragedy-chicago-bears jmWhat is near-future late-capitalist dystopian fiction but a world where there is no discernible difference between corporations, nations, sports teams, brands, and celebrities? Adam was partly right in our original email thread. @TwoHeadlines is not generating jokes about current events. It is generating jokes about the future: a very specific future dictated by what a Google algorithm believes is important about humans and our affairs. ]]> google-news google algorithms word-frequency twitter twoheadlines bots news emergent jokes https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:9447155f7df1/ 2013-04-15T11:26:27+00:00 http://adam-lynch.github.io/ked/ jmTo our knowledge, Ked is the first scripting language to emerge from The People's Republic of Cork.

We humbly suggest the following status codes are included in the HTTP spec in the 7XX range. Includes such useful status codes as "724 - This line should be unreachable".]]> http standards humour funny jokes https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:51aba664d7c1/ 2011-01-12T22:52:33+00:00 http://www.reddit.com/r/bestof2010/comments/f0zmd/final_round_comment_of_the_year/ jm via:waxy tamales recipes stories funny jokes reddit bestof2010 2010 https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:60bb1f53971d/
