Programming isn't coding. Programming is the activity of making programs: coding is expressing data in the form expected by a process. While it's true that programs are data, coding is a pretty small part of programming and a much larger part of certain data entry jobs. (To take an extreme example, there are jobs advertised which primarily consist of coding medical records in HL7).

The internet was just coming into being when I was a young teenager. I know that the internet is a vastly different beats these days

Yep, no need to remember bang paths any more.

the Queen better watch her fucking back

Sorry to disappoint you, but Liz Truss beat you to it.

For those, like me, who were crying out for the summary to say what DMT is, it's the main active psychedelic of ayahuasca.

I grew up in a village with four pubs for about 3000 people. My parents have moved, so I haven't been back for about 15 years, but it was down to one pub then. I think a big factor was the bypass, which also killed off the local antique shops. Back in the day people driving through the village might stop to browse the shops and have lunch: now they barely realise it's there.

Unfortunately the only perjury possible in a take-down notice is for not actually being an authorized agent of the copyright holder

/. belongs to the days when people who knew about møøse bites also knew about HTML entities.

It usually means it's full of aspartame or sucralose.

Potato crisps/chips can be minimally processed, but commercial ones are sprayed with a mix of flavourings, colourings, emulsifiers to keep the spray from splitting, etc. That's where they become ultra-processed.

I watch a chess player with a calm voice and style, and when I'm starting to fall asleep I sometimes pause the video but sometimes just turn off the screen.

Depends on context. There are some videos I watch because I'm interested, and other videos I watch to go to sleep. With the latter it's quite nice to be able to turn the screen off and still listen to the audio.

"Deliver" isn't really the right verb. "Front" is more accurate. The small handful of big companies get the contract, but then they subcontract it to one of a larger number of medium/big companies, and that company subsubcontracts it to a small company which does all the actual delivery and gets about 10% of the original fee.

You're a month too late to hire her.

In 2014, a couple of months after he stepped down as Director of Public Prosecutions (and more than a year before he became an MP).
