  3. 🤖 #MIT has discovered that #AI can give surprisingly decent #financial advice—who knew? 🙄 Just ask the right questions, like "Should I really be taking #advice from a glorified calculator?" 😂 Remember, if it comes from MIT, it must be science! 🧠✨

  7. 🎰 Breaking News: When you throw free money at gamblers, they... gamble more! 🤑 Thanks, #University #of #Captain #Obvious, for this groundbreaking revelation that would astonish a #toddler. Who knew the best way to get people to gamble more was to bombard them with offers? 🙄

  8. "DUST BUNNY" is a strange amalgam of genres, including Action-Adventure, Horror, Kaiju, Fantasy, and Crime; and is a delight from beginning to end. We enjoyed it immensely. #dustbunny #horror #horrormovie #monstermovie #action #adventure #surprises #surprising #quirky

  9. Ever wondered about #arithmetics in #JavaScript?

    "For the most part, Javascript #numbers are double-precision floating point, so need to be treated the same as you would floating point numbers in any other language.

    However, Javascript also provides bitwise and #shift operations, which first convert the operands to 32-bit #signed 2s-complement values. This can have #surprising consequences when either the input or result has a magnitude of more than 231."

  11. I've always meant to post this and it just keeps slipping my mind, because it's such a minor thing. But it is hugely annoying (Hey, #Mastodon folk, something easy to fix!).

    If you open someone's profile because you want to see things they've posted, you'll think you're in luck, because it opens on the "Posts" category.

    But you're not getting what you think you're getting. If the person is anything like me, they boost a lot more things than they post - and boosts appear in this "Posts" category, too.

    What you want is the next category over, "Posts and replies". That will be only things they've posted, either as standalone posts or in response to others' posts.

    So for posts, go to "Posts and Replies", not "Posts". And if that makes sense to you, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore 😉
