c'est la cucaracha........

[21st-century-minutiae]

"C'est la vie" is a common French saying used in English, meaning "Such is life.". It is a statement of acceptance and/or resignation, and is seen as poignant.

"La cucaracha" is a common Mexican folk song about a cockroach that cannot walk. It's origins are obscured and its lyrics have been rewritten many times, but the most common lyrics as of the early twenty-first century emerged during the Mexican Revolution in reference to political events. As viewed in the early twenty-first century by English speakers, it is a corny and stereotypical Mexican song.

Autocomplete works by predicting future words based on previous words, often generating multiple options. "C'est la" would commonly be completed by "vie". "La" by itself might be completed by "Cucaracha." So both are offered as options.

But "C'est la cucaracha" is a very strange juxtaposition across two languages, between solemn and corny. It makes sense for an autocomplete to consider the option, but the imagery is novel. This would be considered humorous, especially with the "(nods solemnly)" action marker further emphasizing the emotional juxtaposition.

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

[biglawbear]

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .
