So much gristle


The 35k lines of code is what made me think this was either a joke or the state of vibe coding, but no it turns out they're serious

I have entire codebases of embedded software in C without the shortcuts of modern programming languages in way fewer than 35k lines


I cannot find a link to the source code. Is there any?

Not 35k lines, but there's one line that's about 48,000 characters long. So either they've intentionally obfuscated it, or chatgpt just churned out one long line

Edit: Running it through a prettifier the code comes about 33k lines


Oh, this. I thought there was more into it.

Edit: Run it through another prettifier, might turn into 35k lines. :D


It’s obviously obstructed, but throw it into an LLM to attempt to clean it up


And without 14 paragraphs of how your great grandma first discovered this recipe on a trip to italy from a soldier she romanced


I'm convinced that people who complain about this don't use recipe sites very often. There are loads without any preamble, and many of those with narrative provide a 'jump to recipe' button. Even if it is a long article with no jump (rare), it's still not a big deal

1. Some people do want the narrative 2. It's not that much of a hardship to scroll


You're entirely right. I don't use recipe sites very often, and yet it still happens often enough that I have to keep scrolling and reading on different sites to get past the backstory


There's also sometimes a button for the "Printer Version" of the recipe which is very much no fluff.

Ex. Above all the fluff is the word "Print" in a yellow box [1] which takes you to a no fluff page [2].

To Apple, that's just a Tuesday


Because people will buy things if they think they're getting a bargain, even if it's a totally fake discount


If people didn't realise that they were peddling something immoral then they're not to blame. They just took money to advertise something that seemed like a useful product at the time


op was complaining about the reviewers failure to disclose their financial conflict of interest. The problem is not that they were advertising a bad product, its that they misrepresented an advertisement as a impartial review.


They lost me years back when they never actually seemed to have any codes anyway
