Google’s enshittification memos

[Note, 9 October 2023: Google disputes the veracity of this claim, but has declined to provide the exhibits and testimony to support its claims. Read more about this here.]

When I think about how the old, good internet turned into the enshitternet, I imagine a series of small compromises, each seemingly reasonable at the time, each contributing to a cultural norm of making good things worse, and worse, and worse.

Think about Unity President Marc Whitten's nonpology for his company's disastrous rug-pull, in which they declared that everyone who had paid good money to use their tool to make a game would have to keep paying, every time someone downloaded that game:

The most fundamental thing that we’re trying to do is we’re building a sustainable business for Unity. And for us, that means that we do need to have a model that includes some sort of balancing change, including shared success.

https://www.wired.com/story/unity-walks-back-policies-lost-trust/

"Shared success" is code for, "If you use our tool to make money, we should make money too." This is bullshit. It's like saying, "We just want to find a way to share the success of the painters who use our brushes, so every time you sell a painting, we want to tax that sale." Or "Every time you sell a house, the company that made the hammer gets to wet its beak."

And note that they're not talking about shared risk here – no one at Unity is saying, "If you try to make a game with our tools and you lose a million bucks, we're on the hook for ten percent of your losses." This isn't partnership, it's extortion.

How did a company like Unity – which became a market leader by making a tool that understood the needs of game developers and filled them – turn into a protection racket? One bad decision at a time. One rationalization and then another. Slowly, and then all at once.

When I think about this enshittification curve, I often think of Google, a company that had its users' backs for years, which created a genuinely innovative search engine that worked so well it seemed like *magic, a company whose employees often had their pick of jobs, but chose the "don't be evil" gig because that mattered to them.

People make fun of that "don't be evil" motto, but if your key employees took the gig because they didn't want to be evil, and then you ask them to be evil, they might just quit. Hell, they might make a stink on the way out the door, too:

https://theintercept.com/2018/09/13/google-china-search-engine-employee-resigns/

Google is a company whose founders started out by publishing a scientific paper describing their search methodology, in which they said, "Oh, and by the way, ads will inevitably turn your search engine into a pile of shit, so we're gonna stay the fuck away from them":

http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf

Those same founders retained a controlling interest in the company after it went IPO, explaining to investors that they were going to run the business without having their elbows jostled by shortsighted Wall Street assholes, so they could keep it from turning into a pile of shit:

https://abc.xyz/investor/founders-letters/ipo-letter/

And yet, it's turned into a pile of shit. Google search is so bad you might as well ask Jeeves. The company's big plan to fix it? Replace links to webpages with florid paragraphs of chatbot nonsense filled with a supremely confident lies:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/14/googles-ai-hype-circle/

How did the company get this bad? In part, this is the "curse of bigness." The company can't grow by attracting new users. When you have 90%+ of the market, there are no new customers to sign up. Hypothetically, they could grow by going into new lines of business, but Google is incapable of making a successful product in-house and also kills most of the products it buys from other, more innovative companies:

https://killedbygoogle.com/

Theoretically, the company could pursue new lines of business in-house, and indeed, the current leaders of companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Apple are all execs who figured out how to get the whole company to do something new, and were elevated to the CEO's office, making each one a billionaire and sealing their place in history.

It is for this very reason that any exec at a large firm who tries to make a business-wide improvement gets immediately and repeatedly knifed by all their colleagues, who correctly reason that if someone else becomes CEO, then they won't become CEO. Machiavelli was an optimist:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/28/microincentives-and-enshittification/

With no growth from new customers, and no growth from new businesses, "growth" has to come from squeezing workers (say, laying off 12,000 engineers after a stock buyback that would have paid their salaries for the next 27 years), or business customers (say, by colluding with Facebook to rig the ad market with the Jedi Blue conspiracy), or end-users.

Now, in theory, we might never know exactly what led to the enshittification of Google. In theory, all of compromises, debates and plots could be lost to history. But tech is not an oral culture, it's a written one, and techies write everything down and nothing is ever truly deleted.

Time and again, Big Tech tells on itself. Think of FTX's main conspirators all hanging out in a group chat called "Wirefraud." Amazon naming its program targeting weak, small publishers the "Gazelle Project" ("approach these small publishers the way a cheetah would pursue a sickly gazelle”). Amazon documenting the fact that users were unknowingly signing up for Prime and getting pissed; then figuring out how to reduce accidental signups, then deciding not to do it because it liked the money too much. Think of Zuck emailing his CFO in the middle of the night to defend his outsized offer to buy Instagram on the basis that users like Insta better and Facebook couldn't compete with them on quality.

It's like every Big Tech schemer has a folder on their desktop called "Mens Rea" filled with files like "Copy_of_Premeditated_Murder.docx":

https://doctorow.medium.com/big-tech-cant-stop-telling-on-itself-f7f0eb6d215a?sk=351f8a54ab8e02d7340620e5eec5024d

Right now, Google's on trial for its sins against antitrust law. It's a hard case to make. To secure a win, the prosecutors at the DoJ Antitrust Division are going to have to prove what was going on in Google execs' minds when the took the actions that led to the company's dominance. They're going to have to show that the company deliberately undertook to harm its users and customers.

Of course, it helps that Google put it all in writing.

Last week, there was a huge kerfuffile over the DoJ's practice of posting its exhibits from the trial to a website each night. This is a totally normal thing to do – a practice that dates back to the Microsoft antitrust trial. But Google pitched a tantrum over this and said that the docs the DoJ were posting would be turned into "clickbait." Which is another way of saying, "the public would find these documents very interesting, and they would be damning to us and our case":

https://www.bigtechontrial.com/p/secrecy-is-systemic

After initially deferring to Google, Judge Amit Mehta finally gave the Justice Department the greenlight to post the document. It's up. It's wild:

https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-09/416692.pdf

The document is described as "notes for a course on communication" that Google VP for Finance Michael Roszak prepared. Roszak says he can't remember whether he ever gave the presentation, but insists that the remit for the course required him to tell students "things I didn't believe," and that's why the document is "full of hyperbole and exaggeration."

OK.

But here's what the document says: "search advertising is one of the world's greatest business models ever created…illicit businesses (cigarettes or drugs) could rival these economics…[W]e can mostly ignore the demand side…(users and queries) and only focus on the supply side of advertisers, ad formats and sales."

It goes on to say that this might be changing, and proposes a way to balance the interests of the search and ads teams, which are at odds, with search worrying that ads are pushing them to produce "unnatural search experiences to chase revenue."

"Unnatural search experiences to chase revenue" is a thinly veiled euphemism for the prophetic warnings in that 1998 Pagerank paper: "The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users." Or, more plainly, "ads will turn our search engine into a pile of shit."

And, as Roszak writes, Google is "able to ignore one of the fundamental laws of economics…supply and demand." That is, the company has become so dominant and cemented its position so thoroughly as the default search engine across every platforms and system that even if it makes its search terrible to goose revenues, users won't leave. As Lily Tomlin put it on SNL: "We don't have to care, we're the phone company."

In the enshittification cycle, companies first lure in users with surpluses – like providing the best search results rather than the most profitable ones – with an eye to locking them in. In Google's case, that lock-in has multiple facets, but the big one is spending billions of dollars – enough to buy a whole Twitter, every single year – to be the default search everywhere.

Google doesn't buy its way to dominance because it has the very best search results and it wants to shield you from inferior competitors. The economically rational case for buying default position is that preventing competition is more profitable than succeeding by outperforming competitors. The best reason to buy the default everywhere is that it lets you lower quality without losing business. You can "ignore the demand side, and only focus on advertisers."

For a lot of people, the analysis stops here. "If you're not paying for the product, you're the product." Google locks in users and sells them to advertisers, who are their co-conspirators in a scheme to screw the rest of us.

But that's not right. For one thing, paying for a product doesn't mean you won't be the product. Apple charges a thousand bucks for an iPhone and then nonconsensually spies on every iOS user in order to target ads to them (and lies about it):

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar

John Deere charges six figures for its tractors, then runs a grift that blocks farmers from fixing their own machines, and then uses their control over repair to silence farmers who complain about it:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/05/31/dealers-choice/#be-a-shame-if-something-were-to-happen-to-it

Fair treatment from a corporation isn't a loyalty program that you earn by through sufficient spending. Companies that can sell you out, will sell you out, and then cry victim, insisting that they were only doing their fiduciary duty for their sacred shareholders. Companies are disciplined by fear of competition, regulation or – in the case of tech platforms – customers seizing the means of computation and installing ad-blockers, alternative clients, multiprotocol readers, etc:

https://doctorow.medium.com/an-audacious-plan-to-halt-the-internets-enshittification-and-throw-it-into-reverse-3cc01e7e4604?sk=85b3f5f7d051804521c3411711f0b554

Which is where the next stage of enshittification comes in: when the platform withdraws the surplus it had allocated to lure in – and then lock in – business customers (like advertisers) and reallocate it to the platform's shareholders.

For Google, there are several rackets that let it screw over advertisers as well as searchers (the advertisers are paying for the product, and they're also the product). Some of those rackets are well-known, like Jedi Blue, the market-rigging conspiracy that Google and Facebook colluded on:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Blue

But thanks to the antitrust trial, we're learning about more of these. Megan Gray – ex-FTC, ex-DuckDuckGo – was in the courtroom last week when evidence was presented on Google execs' panic over a decline in "ad generating searches" and the sleazy gimmick they came up with to address it: manipulating the "semantic matching" on user queries:

https://www.wired.com/story/google-antitrust-lawsuit-search-results/

When you send a query to Google, it expands that query with terms that are similar – for example, if you search on "Weds" it might also search for "Wednesday." In the slides shown in the Google trial, we learned about another kind of semantic matching that Google performed, this one intended to turn your search results into "a twisted shopping mall you can’t escape."

Here's how that worked: when you ran a query like "children's clothing," Google secretly appended the brand name of a kids' clothing manufacturer to the query. This, in turn, triggered a ton of ads – because rival brands will have bought ads against their competitors' name (like Pepsi buying ads that are shown over queries for Coke).

Here we see surpluses being taken away from both end-users and business customers – that is, searchers and advertisers. For searchers, it doesn't matter how much you refine your query, you're still going to get crummy search results because there's an unkillable, hidden search term stuck to your query, like a piece of shit that Google keeps sticking to the sole of your shoe.

But for advertisers, this is also a scam. They're paying to be matched to users who search on a brand name, and you didn't search on that brand name. It's especially bad for the company whose name has been appended to your search, because Google has a protection racket where the company that matches your search has to pay extra in order to show up overtop of rivals who are worse matches. Both the matching company and those rivals have given Google a credit-card that Google gets to bill every time a user searches on the company's name, and Google is just running fraudulent charges through those cards.

And, of course, Google put this in writing. I mean, of course they did. As we learned from the documentary The Incredibles, supervillains can't stop themselves from monologuing, and in big, sprawling monopolists, these monologues have to transmitted electronically – and often indelibly – to far-flung co-cabalists.

As Gray points out, this is an incredibly blunt enshittification technique: "it hadn’t even occurred to me that Google just flat out deletes queries and replaces them with ones that monetize better." We don't know how long Google did this for or how frequently this bait-and-switch was deployed.

But if this is a blunt way of Google smashing its fist down on the scales that balance search quality against ad revenues, there's plenty of subtler ways the company could sneak a thumb on there. A Google exec at the trial rhapsodized about his company's "contract with the user" to deliver an "honest results policy," but given how bad Google search is these days, we're left to either believe he's lying or that Google sucks at search.

The paper trail offers a tantalizing look at how a company went from doing something that was so good it felt like a magic trick to being "able to ignore one of the fundamental laws of economics…supply and demand," able to "ignore the demand side…(users and queries) and only focus on the supply side of advertisers."

What's more, this is a system where everyone loses (except for Google): this isn't a grift run by Google and advertisers on users – it's a grift Google runs on everyone.

My next novel is The Lost Cause, a hopeful novel of the climate emergency. Amazon won't sell the audiobook, so I made my own and I'm pre-selling it on Kickstarter!

Okay, so, I watched the entire 7 hour stream where Daniel Vávra (KCD2 game director) was a guest at a Czech Twitch streamer.

GENERAL KCD2 DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS:

He is expecting around 4-5 million total copies sold by the end of 2025.

Devs shortly before the release wanted to remove Mutt completely because they were afraid they had not managed to code him and implement him properly. They thought his AI was so bad it was not worth having him at all.

He plans to have a look into recommending to other devs some patches that will make the game less easy or other ways to avoid Henry becoming too OP if you do all side quests. Also make the second map have a better gear and wallet progress, such as deal with the problem of wanting to sell too-rich loot to too-poor merchants.

He was a millionaire from the first two Mafia games, but he almost went bankrupt from his private money when trying to create KCD1 and found an investor to make the game a reality basically miraculously.

The target audience for KCD2 is around 30 year olds.

There will be a vinyl of the soundtrack.

Kingdom Come 1 and 2 were originally supposed to be one game, where Act 1 would be Rattay stuff (everything in KCD1), Act 2 would be the Trosky-related map, and Act 3 would be Kuttenberg.

The DLCs will unlock some new areas to explore, including the interior of a church.

There will be probably no mod support for consoles.

A FEW TINY HANS/HENRY BREADCRUMBS:

He never approved of or allowed that one dev at a forum years back to say that Henry is straight.

The Hansry sex scene was supposed to be more explicit originally. He implied that other devs wanted it to be more explicit and sexier but he wanted it to stay more romantic.

The sex scene would not have happened at that specific time at that specific place if Henry and Hans had not been starving and desperate about that situation.

this is more from a graphic design//UX/UI perspective, but I think it may ring true for other industries too- they mainly want to see the type of work that you're applying for. For the above example, if you're applying for UX/UI jobs as a graphic designer, they don't want to see your design work, they want to see case studies, otherwise they'll think your priorities are too split. So seconding the last reblog; I think showing you can draw different styles is fine, but make sure you've shown something similar to the style the job you're applying to wants, and also have lots of that TYPE of thing you're doing if that makes sense. Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I'm in the process of building my portfolio now, but it's the sentiment a couple people in the UX/UI field have shared with me at least

In regards to building a portfolio, what do you prioritize/what do you think employers are looking for? Is it better to emphasize versatility, or demonstrate strengths in a specific style?

hm this is a hard question to answer in the professional context because (a) my professional career is not long (b) i don't know how much of my work ive gotten from my website and (c) the way this can hard core depend on the AD looking at your portfolio

i think versatility is a double edged sword in that it can make you look confused and inconsistent - ADs tend to like, from what i know, someone reliable and consistent. if they hire you they want to reasonably know what you'll make, kind of. but also this can depend on the industry - freelance editorial? advertising? book illustration? storyboarding? i feel like all of these have different expectations.

generally the best advice is, in my opinion: think about what you want to do, find as many illustrators you can who do that thing that are within 5, max 10 years of graduating / starting their career.

why not more than 10? i think these are people who are more likely to get work from their website rather than by repeat contact from regular ADs and word of mouth, which is less reliant on a portfolio standing on its own. what are their websites structured like? what's the range they're putting out?

if the results are inconsistent, i think that's a sign to pick whatever you think displays your work the best.

personally, i struggle bc i think my work looks very different across the board, though i think it hinders me more than helps me, and I could stand to clean up the consistency of my site.

hopefully that helps, though im sorry i couldn't give a clearer answer!

[novella-november]

Well. I have a feeling I'm about to have a million new followers. (March 31st, 2025; not an April Fool's joke, unless Nanowrimo has very poor taste and timing)

Here's a link that explains in long video format the whole entire thing in detail:

and to sum it up:

This blog was made as an Anti-Generative AI to Nanowrimo, as well as a way to actually build a friendly, low-pressure, helpful community of aspiring writers, without the hard-fast-do-it-or-die pressure brought on by nanowrimo.

There is no official "contest" -- only a community coming together to inspire each other to write, help out with motivation by setting community goals, keeping participation motivation via Trackbear.app, etc!

The most popular writing challenge is still November for most people, but I myself have also started to keep a year-round, daily writing goal of 444 via the website 4thewords, which has been an extreme help in getting me to write a little at a time.

This year has been very hectic for everyone what with the election results so I haven't been very active on tumblr (I think everyone can understand that) but I was originally planning on also having each month of the year being a different themed writing / art challenge but got a bit distracted real life.

So, what is the Novella November Challenge?

It's a fun challenge where writers come together to write 30,000 (or your own personal writing goal!) words in 30 days, sharing tips, writing advice, plot ideas, accessibility aids, and committing to having fun while explicitly fighting back against Generative AI by using our own words and disavowing the use of scraping and generating to take away the livelyhoods of artists of all spectrums, and proving everyone who insists "generative AI is an accessibility tool" wrong by committing to our creative visions and making it easier for everyone to find the tools they need to succeed by sharing tips, free programs, and finding a like-minded community to support you! 💙

There is no official website, there is no required place to show your participation, this is a community initiative that will never be monetized by predatory sponsors or dangerous moderators abusing their power.

This blog is here to inspire everyone, regardless of experience level, to write and create the story they want to tell, in their own words, while striving to remain a fun, low-pressure challenge that doesn't turn into a stressful spiral, like often happened with Nano.

Want to start writing but not sure how? Don't have money to spend on expensive writing programs? Have no fear!

LibreOffice: An always free, open-source alternative to Microsoft Word (and Microsoft's other office suits)

4Thewords: A website (both desktop and mobile web browser) that syncs your writing cross platform to the cloud, with built-in daily word goals, streak tracking, and you can fight monsters with your word count to game-ify writing!

Trackbear: A website dedicated to tracking your writing, setting custom goals, and creating leaderboards for community participation; you can join the year-long community leaderboard with the Join Code "f043cc66-6d5d-45b2-acf1-204626a727ba" and a November-limited one will release on November 1st as well.

Want to use Text to Speech to dictate your novel?

Most modern phones have a built-in option available on your keyboard settings which can be used on any writing program on your phone, and most modern PCs that allow a microphone (including headphone) connection has some kind of native dictation function, which you can find by opening your start panel and searching your computer for "Speech to text" or "voice to text".

Want to write while on the go, but don't want to / can't use the small phone keyboard to type, or speech to text?

You can, for as cheap as $40, buy a bluetooth keyboard that you can pair with your smart phone or tablet and use to write in any and all writing applications on your phone -- this allows you to write on the goal (especially using cross-platform websites or services, like 4thewords or google docs) , and the small screen can also help minimize distractions by muting notifications in your writing time.

A wildcard spy and info broker who left RSA and the Heartslabyul underworld.

Appears and disappears at will—no one ever knows whose side he’s on (except Yuu’s).

Master of illusions, sabotage, and surveillance. He’s everywhere and nowhere.

Keeps the others laughing—right before he slits someone’s throat mid-sentence.

Neige LeBlanche – The White Lie

Publicly still a "darling" singer and model—secretly Ramshackle’s social smokescreen.

Handles PR, public image, and propaganda for the family. Butter-wouldn’t-melt aura hides a manipulative mastermind.

When he's not smiling, he's pulling favors, blackmailing media execs, or sweet-talking other mafia heirs for intel.

Rollo Flamme – The Viper Bishop

Formerly an anti-magic radical. Now? He realized the system itself was the problem.

Handles information control and religious contacts—he runs the cult underworld, no biggie.

Cold, calculating, and eerily calm. Uses fear and righteous speeches to demoralize opponents.

Some say he joined Yuu to balance them; others say he's waiting for a perfect betrayal. Either way, he's useful.

Fellow Honest – The Trickster Boss

Old-school mafia type with showman flair. Originally neutral, now Yuu’s inside man for old money trade routes.

Handles weapon deals, smoke-and-mirror diplomacy, and nostalgic criminal connections.

Thinks of Yuu as a “young boss with real moxie.”

Keeps Gidel on a tight leash (most of the time).

Gidel – The Cannery Butcher

Extremely unhinged—used to work with the mafia as an executioner-for-hire.

Now works as Ramshackle’s interrogator and "cleanup guy."

Think chainsaw, bloodstains, and a sense of humor that makes Floyd look tame.

Yuu is the only person who can tell him “stop” and live.

Skully – The Phantom Enforcer

Quiet, hulking presence. Doesn’t speak much, but when they do? It's with fists or a cold death glare.

Bodyguard, smuggler, demolitions expert.

Comes from a cursed bloodline—people say they’re immortal. No one’s tested it twice.

Their loyalty to Yuu is absolute. When Skully stands behind you, you’re safe.

Dynamic as a Mafia:

Not bound by dorm politics.

Deals in everything: black market goods, intel trades, bodyguard contracts, “favor-for-favor” diplomacy.

Known for sudden, chaotic moves that disrupt the careful balance between dorm mafias.

The other dorms see them as an unstable alliance, but that’s what makes them terrifying. No rules. No limits. Just loyalty and survival.

I think there's a very clear difference in "wanting to work alongside ai" and "ai stealing the works of others without permission and never giving back"

[luckyarchivist]

You're feeling a little peckish, and you have some money to burn... Maybe you'll go out to a restaurant! And maybe you can take someone with you?

Out to Eat w/Touchstarved LIs

This'll be more modern cos, to be frank? The food in Eridia scares me. And I'm the type of person who'll eat most stuff.

Vere

“Think very carefully about where you want to take me. If you make the wrong choice... I just might punish you for it.”

If you are taking him out, do NOT take him to The Cheesecake Factory. Wherever you're going better be nice, and you better be paying.

While “nice” in this case does usually mean “ridiculously expensive”, I think Vere would appreciate you taking him anywhere the food is exceptional, once he gets over the plebian aesthetic. Michelin-starred fast food, y'know.

I definitely empathize with Vere in the sense that I think both of our approaches to food at restaurants is, “I like what I like, and what I like is usually the most expensive thing on the menu.”

I think Vere prefers eating food with his hands over utensils! How he doesn't get rice and sauce under his nails, I wish I knew.

If Vere takes you somewhere, it'll almost certainly have a dress code, and he'll expect you to put some effort into following it. He's showing you off as much as he's taking you out.

He's also going to choose a place with a decent drink menu, one where the selection of wines and cocktails aren't just an afterthought. Alternatively, he might take you out for a nice dinner and go for nice drinks after.

SIDE NOTE: It is alright to go to The Cheesecake Factory if it is solely for the cheesecake. Vere will NOT be going inside, though. It's tacky as hell in there. What if it infects him or something?

Kuras

“I have no preferences. So choose wherever you'd like.”

He won't be eating anything, but he is more than happy to be your conversation partner for a quick meal.

He will take a single glass of water, though. And he will think worse of the place if their water tastes like shit.

[insert Neuvillette Genshin Impact: "Water comes in many flavors to the discerning palate...”]

And by the way? He takes his water with lemon, garçon. Please and thank you.

He would have no idea where to take you to eat, because, you know... he doesn't need to eat. But he'd do a lot of research in advance to pick someplace he thinks you'd like.

This can lead to Kuras taking you places where the food looks amazing but tastes just alright. He does read reviews, but he just gets so enchanted with the appearance of it...

Regardless, you always appreciate the effort. And even though Kuras doesn't need to eat, he might like to get a little cup of sorbet or a cappuchino with you after dinner.

Ais

“Sure, sparrow. Where to?”

You can take him somewhere fancy! But don't expect him to dress or act according to etiquette. He will not.

You can also take him somewhere trashy! Ais will pretty much eat anything, though he's got a strangely blasé aversion to seafood.

That's not to say he doesn't have his preferences, he's just...not picky. Like, at all. You've seen him put stuff in his mouth that you wouldn't touch with gloves on, nevermind eat. He's never gotten sick, though, so maybe that's why he's so cavalier.

Ais knows all the secret spots (and their owners) so if he takes you out it'll be to some hole-in-the-wall restaurant or food truck you've never heard of that doesn't appear anywhere online.

It will be some of the best food you've ever had, though. I could see Ais being a huge fusion cuisine fan, so he's taking you places with, like, mac n' cheese egg rolls and tandoori chicken quesadillas on their menus.

Depending on how much the owner likes Ais (they usually like him quite a lot) you might get your meal at a steep discount, or even free! Thanks for being so likeable, Ais~

Leander

“Take me—? No, no, no, let me take you somewhere! It's the least I can do.”

Taking Leander out is easy cos he never complains about the place. He's the type of person who always finds something good to say even if it's a 1-star experience.

He will leave a 1-star review, though. LOL.

And, of course, if it's bad he will fall all over himself to make sure you know it's not your fault and he loves and appreciates you for bringing him. And he always pays for both of you — score!

Wherever you take him, he'll insist that he loves it, which obviously isn't true. He definitely has preferences, but his rich-boy's palette doesn't rule him.

I feel like there's a specific type of cuisine he probably really likes. My first thought was Mediterranean? He could probably tear up some moussaka.

He'll maybe try a little too hard to impress you if he takes you out? he takes you somewhere that's way too expensive but the food itself is... just alright. He was easily charmed by the high price tag.

Mhin

“...if you insist. Hmph. This better not be a waste of time.”

I actually think a huge consideration for Mhin when going out is the restaurant atmosphere. Like, it can't be too loud or too quiet, not too dirty but also not sterile, and so on and so forth.

It's almost like Mhin wants to get out of eating here and just wants to take the food to go...

Mhin doesn't really care about the food tbh. They will pretend they hate all of it, with some exceptions, and they will still eat most of the meal because old habits die hard.

Any place with good soups and stews will rank highly for Mhin. I wonder how they feel about the Panera broccoli-cheddar soup?

There used to be a “dessert restaurant” near where I lived that exclusively served cakes, cookies, pies, and simple drinks in a cozy, fairy-lit space. Take Mhin there and they will love you forever.

Mhin also has some secret spots of their own, but these are mainly family-owned places making time-tested recipes.

You can rest assured that if Mhin takes you somewhere to eat, you'll leave feeling like you just left your grandma's house. Unless your grandma can't cook, in which case you'll leave feeling like you just left the house of a grandma that can.

My fan made Animation vs Coding part 2

Do you think stick figure AI would "assume" data type of all number to be float, double, or decimal?

...What? This is not a well-known fun fact outside STEM community?

So many people have this problem, someone made a whole webpage explaining it.

More organic explanation here; Defining a right data type is a big deal in programming. At least the programmer who manually assign it float/double would know why it went wrong.

JavaScript, however, will automatically assign an appropriate data type, and is advertised to be more beginner-friendly... Can you see why this became a meme?

0.1 and 0.2 will be considered double data type, which can't be accurate expressed in base 2.

There is only (1/2), (1/4), (1/8), ... ,(1/(2 power n)) in base 2.

It can't accurately express (1/10 and 2/10), but it still makes a very good approximation. That is why it is only 0.00000000000000004 off.

This is why in most statistic analysis and calculator use decimal data type. Or banking uses fixed-point numbers data. They both have their limitation; Decimal requires more computing power, which mean more specialized device. While fixed-point works fine with money because it's transferring money, not doing maths. It would never have to deal with 0.3333333... dollar.

Do you know what language is from the same family as JavaScript? That's right, it's Flash's programming language, ActionScript.

I told you my Computer Science grade was horrid, but this is very basic, so I am more confident explaining it.
