Sometimes, during a discussion (online, email, etc) someone replies to a question by pasting llm output. No time spent checking what the answer actually says, just pasting whatever came out of it.
Why do people do this? Who do they think they are helping? All it adds is noise because now people have to either confirm it's correct, or time has to be spent explaining why it's wrong. The person doing the original pasting isn't the one doing any of that work.

This is really cool, if you have any interest in older networking technology. @larsbrinkhoff is doing a great job showing it off.

I've asked this before, and I did get some good suggestions, I wasn't able to fix the problem (probably because I really don't understand CSS at all).
Is there anyone here who would be willing to help explain what changes I need to make to the CSS in order to get rid of the horizontal scrolling in my documentation page for my project?
This is the page, generated from asciidoc, so I can't actually change the content, only the CSS: https://kapdemo.dhsdevelopments.com/reference.html
What I really wanted to do was to have the TOC on top on mobile devices, but on the side in an actual browser.
I'll give a finder's fee as well, if requested.
Note that the project is open source (MIT licensed) by the way.

I decided to implement a new Kap feature today. It's an implementation of the Range function that is already available is some other array languages.
A simple example: The following expression: 5 … 11 will return a new array: 5 6 7 8 9 10 11. The arguments doesn't have to be scalars. If they are arrays, the prefix and suffixes are preserved:
┌→────────────────────────┐
│10 20 3 4 5 6 7 8 100 200│
└─────────────────────────┘
Of course, this feature also allows you to count down:
┌→───────────┐
│10 9 8 7 6 5│
└────────────┘
None of this are things that was particularly difficult to do before this function was introduced, but it does make writing certain expressions much nicer.
The next step is to add support for character arguments as well. For now, only integers are supported.
Here's a runnable example

Am I crazy, or didn't the Mastodon timeline use to show replies by people you follow, even if the reply was not to you?
The only times I see replies in my feed now is when someone boosts them. It wasn't always like that was it?

I went out biking, even though it was raining. Well, it stopped and I found myself at Punggol Park. It has a nice little pond with turtles.

They banned the wrong thing. Banning tiktok could possibly have solved the root problem if it was done early, nipping the weed at its bud, so to speak.
Now, we're screwed. Vertical video is everywhere. Glove and Boots predicted it, and soon Star Wars Skinny Edition will come out, I suspect.

I know there are some people here with familiarity of COBOL.
I'm trying to write a program with multiple modules, and so I'm using the form call "xyz" using args where args is a record.
In the callee, I need to define the same record in the linkage section. However, the record layout has to be the same, or there may be issues (SEGV I guess?).
Is there a way to define the record in one place, and then use it in both the working-storage section as well as the linkage section in order to make sure they match?
