You'd need a 122-key terminal keyboard to invoke the right keyboard combo. Because what else are you going to use it for?

As NASA noted on its 2017 eclipse website, the myth that eclipses will poison "any food that is prepared during the event" is prolific enough to require debunking. Why we need to go extinct. An argument in one headline.

If there is a total eclipse during Lent / Ramadan / Fast / ..., and your religion allows you to eat after sunset, are you then allowed to eat during a total eclipse? Are you safe against the anger of your god if you choose to eat?
To eat, or not to eat, that is the question.

The Sun hasn't set; it's simply been hidden by another object.
It would make just as much sense to ask "if one is in the shade of a building during Lent / Ramadan / Fast ...".

Or if you are in the shade of the Earth? I do believe that the Earth count as 'another object', although a large one.

Then they can simply not eat. I think the only creatures who think they'll starve during an eclipse are domestic cats.

Does this superstitious nonsense also apply to crops growing during an eclipse? How do I know that the food that I bought is Eclipse-free?

I thought that Eclipse[^] was particularly poisonous to certain types of coffee[^].

Maybe the dropoff in gamma radiation causes a sort of radiological vacuum which flips the molecules of banana bread to their other chiral forms and suddenly you're better off eating yellowcake.

The scathing report concludes that Microsoft’s security culture needs an overhaul. Coulda, woulda, shoulda
But in their defense: AI!

Each of the six floors of Building 41 is themed after a stage in the development of computing. They'll have to add a new floor for AI
I know I'm obtuse, but I never did notice that about the walls

Not a good idea. It'll probably hallucinate its own building code.

Adobe has been testing new AI features in its apps for Windows 11, 10 and other platforms. It will scan them for stuff and giggles (you know, the usual reasons)

Generative AI promises to be transformative for software development, but only if we ensure that all code is analyzed, tested, and reviewed. What could possibly be a way of avoiding the dangers of AI-generated code?

Just use what you find on SO. Old-school all the way.

Where SO actually answers the question, rather than insult the questioner, its answers range from wrong to brilliant.
AI has a similar record, but (usually) with better manners.
