Yeah, but can you peric what the next variation of the word will be? Didn’t think so.

My teenage son and I both have celiac disease, but the rest of my family does not. We have to have separate parts of the kitchen for anything gluten related, including separate toasters. We have to wash our hands after handling anything not gluten free, otherwise we risk some low-level cross- contamination issues which can cause big issues for either of us. Been there, done that, did not enjoy my immune system attacking my intestines from it.

I get that this struggle is not well understood by anyone who hasn’t had to deal with it, but allergies and autoimmune reactions (like celiac disease) are no joke. Having to miss school or work can be pretty devastating, not to mention the gastrointestinal issues that can cause those absence.

Sure, people can make kinetic sand. I can also make gluten free bread and cake. Quite often, the convenience of buying something is a pretty good thing if it fits the budget and makes it easier to focus on other things in life. So, I’m wondering if your point is more about anti consumerism than it is about pervasive use of gluten free labeling. I’m fine with that, but call it by what it is.

Or maybe a fraudulent signal app.

I mean, generally speaking, just don’t click on random links. This is a random link. Qr codes are valuable but we’re conditioning society to just be cool with clicking on random shit without putting much thought into it.

Or xss/sqli/etc attacks on vulnerable sites that don’t sanitize url query parameters

Great suggestions here, but no mention of SuperfastMatt. Speaks to the engineer in me by collecting projects and overcomplicating them all.

So the fintech companies who rely on that tested (though unliked) lump of iron from IBM running an OS, language, and architecture built to do fast, high-throughput transactional work should trust AI to turn it into Java code to run on hardware and infrastructure of their own choosing without having architected the whole migration from the ground up?

Don’t get me wrong, I want to see the world move away from cobol and ancient big blue hardware, but there are safer ways to do this and the investment cost would likely be worth it.

Can you tell I work in fintech?

My first job out of college was as a Lotus Notes app developer. Security was such a farce that I ran software deployments to our app users in the same way that really crafty malware infections propagate through email. Nice feature, IBM.

Back when emojis were novel in the corporate environment, I always questioned who at IBM decided a sheep emoji was a valuable addition. I mean, I used it in messages, but probably not in the way IBM intended…
