God's not watching.
A close-up of the code showing that Visual Studio reports the implicit type of the variable results as dynamic when the var keyword is used.

Simplified the example a tiny bit to focus on the relevant parts, including changing the signature of GetReportData a bit to eliminate the local.

Hint: Returning an IEnumerable<object> from a function that promises a List<object> should be a compile-time error. So why isn't that the case?
A simplified version of the example class I wrote to demonstrate the problem in C#.

Nope, synchronous equivalent here, same issue in the same place.

Found something cursed as fuck in a C# project today. Here's a contrived example. Can you spot the hidden "error"?
A bunch of contrived C# code meant to illustrate an arcane problem I ran into today.

Sounds like scientists have created a model based on your diary
A line in an article about a scientific discovery says, "The model suggests a brief 'knot-dominated era[.]'"

Jesus, the Barbie Dreamhouse Playset box is unsettling.
A grinning, wide-eyed puppy sits before its dog bed. The same puppy sits before some paw-shaped portal, the same expression fixed on its face. The puppy, face still frozen in that unsettling expression, sits before a doggie door. The puppy, forever cursed to stare and grin, sits atop a doghouse.

Running a tabletop game? Run out of time to prep and need your players to burn time arguing with each other so you can improvise at the table? Consider giving their characters a device that can make explosives from blood.
A description of a magitech device called a "dynacardium filter" that turns the blood of sentient beings into explosives. I made this for a sci-fi/fantasy True20 campaign.

on whether quarter-munching arcade beat-'em-ups are inferior to skill-based games:
A message in Discord reads, "[The six-player X-Men arcade cabinet] is for people who have five friends, that is the truest test of any gamer's skill."

The translucency in Liquid Glass just makes the top of the screen look scuzzy in Mail. Look how gross this is!
A screenshot of a message in the iPhone's Mail app. The text is blurred in a way that smudges gray all over a light background. It's very messy.

It isn't "the future of computer engineering." It's you making a stupid decision to use a bad tool for a task it isn't even suited to.
Hacker News commenter rollcat posted: "It's crazy how wildly inaccurate 'top-of-the-list' LLMs are for straightforward yet slightly nuanced inquiries. "I've asked ChatGPT to summarize Go build constraints, especially in the context of CPU microarchitectures (e.g. mapping 'amd64.v2' to GOARCH=amd64 GOAMD64=v2). It repeatedly smashed its head on GORISCV64, claiming all sorts of nonsense such as v1, v2; then G, IMAFD, Zicsr; only arriving at rva20u64 et al under hand-holding. Similar nonsense for GOARM64 and GOWASM. It was all right there in e.g. the docs for [cmd/go]. "This is the future of computer engineering. Brace yourselves."

honestly the nerve of hbo to just slap that "20th anniversary" caption on the hero image for rome on hbo max without any special programming for the anniversary (new behind-the-scenes stuff, a cast reunion, etc.)
A promotional image for the HBO/BBC co-production Rome. A woman stands in an ancient Roman street. In her hand is a dagger, and at her feet is blood or wine among the stones. To her right, a legend says, "HBO Original - Rome - 20th Anniversary."

Call me crazy, but I prefer to communicate information about the type of a variable with its type declaration.
Hacker News user gnulinux regarding AI code completion: "Do you still have this problem if you add a comment before declaring the variable like 'Note: thingsById is not a dictionary, it is an array. Each index of the array represents a blabla id that maps to a thing' "In my experience they under overvalue var names, but they value comments even more. So I tend to calibrate these things with more detailed comments."
