Multiple people, me being the third or fourth, are not feeling the default layout and you all read that as a signal it's working as intended?

I’ve yet to hear of effective altruism from anyone less wealthy me. Seems to be weirdly lumped among the rich.

This guy remembers what I thought I was saying. In my defense I stole the whole thing from Stephen King’s It which I read … forty years ago, that can’t be accurate. Let me sort out…

In my defense, I was suffering from white line fever.

Well sure, it was George Bernard Shaw, not the old CNN anchor. Also, turtles are tight lipped by nature.

It’s a reference to Bernard Shaw, who once said that if we ever created a truly artificial mind it would be inside a turtle’s shell. Sturgill Simpson covered the track on his semin…

I’ll take it. Makes me nostalgic for college, arguing the merits of the cuts. My personal opinion is simply: no voiceover.

>In the world of movie title cards, this one sits in the bottom half. Really? Are we including B movies, porn, educational films (other than porn) in this massive list?

I heard the story as attributed to Asimov: he was walking out of Hamlet when a fellow patron said, "I don't see what the big deal is. It was all just cliches strung together."

I'm just describing my personal situation at the time (and the author's, judging by the pictures) because I have found in the 25 years since that having diverse views makes for bet…

Pylons was a long time ago. Definitely Python 2. The era just after (?) or maybe same as TurboGears and CherryPy.

I too often think of things as frozen in time two decades ago.

Going to guess they explicitly map the database tables (and do it all as read-only perhaps) to allow admins to view and report on data from the API.

I always wonder about signals. I found them incredibly attractive from a code cleanliness standpoint, but every team I’ve joined avoided them either because they got burnt by them …

Well, my career started in 2000, so maybe that would be better. Just imagine a shop entirely staffed by white kids quoting whatever the zeitgeist had spat out last to each other wh…

I kept a Windows machine alive and kicking up until 5 years ago (Windows 7) and the last few years were all due to fear I would some day run into an issue I needed HomeSite to be a…

I can’t help but see this as a productivity illusion. “Hey now I really can work on three things at once”. Then someone asks you a question a week later and you have zero memory of…

Now that's speed dating.

The same is true of long hair supposedly (hair displays a record of illness). Does someone's attractiveness inherently change after a crew cut?

Or they were so well targeted they didn’t even feel like ads. Dunh dun DUHN!

This feels like the early days of SEO over again. There are no agreed-upon metrics yet, so you can sell all manner of snake oil. Hell, some of it might even work!

They’re going to eliminate windows?

“Look Bullwinkle, it’s a yellow-bellied sapsucker!” “Aw, put down something else Rock. I can’t stands a coward.”
