Agreed this is not even 4d Wolfenstein but still a really neat concept

the string is lowercased before the regex is run, fwiw

Trivers hasn't been relevant since the 70s.

I hadn't even seen the details of the Epstein emails and related comments of his, that are objectively pretty awful.

One of my favorite things from ATL/WTL was the _ASSERT_E macro which additionally converts the source expression to text for a better message to be logged

> A long time ago in the Microsoft C (and later C++) dev envs there were macros named "min" and "max", which I thought were terrible names for macros.

Yeah, this is still in windows.h unless you #define NOMINMAX

I remember having to guard against this in some inline code by surrounding the c++ calls with parenthesis, eg `(std::min)(a, b)`

Yep. There's tons of others as as well. 16-bit x86 enjoyers will be happy to know there are `near` and `far` macros whose primary purpose in 2026 is to break my projection matrices. And of course every Win32 function that takes strings has a macro that resolves it to either the UTF-16 or ASCII variant, so your custom CreateWindow is now a CreateWindowA, tough luck buddy.

I usually wrap Windows.h in a header followed by 100 #undefs to contain the disease.

I actually just put some wood in the backyard for them so they can chill out there and they stopped burrowing in my house and porch etc. I'm still not sure why they stopped rather than just do both, but I kept patching up their holes so maybe we have an understanding somehow.

Additionally the storage of email was cited as a concern, making mass data breaches much simpler.

Note that there is a HIPAA approved email service called Direct, as in Direct Messaging / Direct Exchange / Direct Connect.

I tried to be helpful and explain what the shape store was, but found myself with a lack of words. Instead here is the know your meme page: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-shape-store-ai-video

tldr it is an ai video, subtle analog horror / backrooms style

Weird Al needs to capitalize on this whole AI/Al thing

The psychological advantage can't be discounted either
