Look I can implement a CEO replacement pretty simple:

Roll d4:

1. Give me more stock options.
2. Stock buyback to make share price go up with artificial demand.
3. Move jobs overseas to lower labor costs.
4. Spout nonsense about adhering to our core values will drive further value to the shareholders.

We really only have the Second Amendment. I am now on a list.

Someone is going to release a Trump administration reskin and it’s going to be spectacularly popular.

Maybe we should rename it after Donald. It could be the Gulf of Knowledge. (For my non-native English speaking audience, in this context gulf means a large lack.)

Start reporting DEI hires like Amy Coney Barrett and Marco Rubio? Did they give Vivek a position or did they just lead him on? The letter my brother received asking him to rat out his coworkers was sent by a woman, probably a DEI hire.

It is like a dog whistle except it is blatant and apparent to all but the most gullible apologist collaborators.

I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the “graphics” were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).

Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.

My duck wears a pope hat.

Thank yous should be in large non-sequential denominations.

And files are streams. 🎵 Islands in the stream. 🎵

The white dude from apartheid South Africa whose father owned an emerald mine there is a Nazi? So surprising.

I think the selective attention test:

further illustrates the limits of human vision and mental processing quite well. Defense attorneys probably ought to play this video in any case where witness testimony is a big component of the prosecution’s case.

Addressing the problem with increased surveillance and beefed up security for executives is not addressing the problem. It’s exacerbating it.

All I know is that Lexus Texas (that is what TX means to me) sounds like the name of a porn star. Is that the message Lexus wanted me to take away from their advertising and branding?

Soon he’ll be streaming with an unplugged mouse and keyboard while his big brother (hired lackey) plays. Maybe we are already there.

In my experience, the c library also depends on several additional libraries which is fine except it needs version 5.0+ of a library that you’re already using 3.4 of. The APIs for the library have been significantly changed, a function in the library that you heavily use has been deprecated, and upgrading to use it is more work than just implementing the desired feature yourself. The manager who suggested the library thinks you are overstating the amount of work using it will require and thinks technical debt is the money he still owes the Indian subcontractors.

Criticizing something as virtue signaling is weird. The implication is that failing to quit signals a lack of virtue.

Especially when you have one employee trying to cover the entire 16,000 square foot store. She isn’t able to stop checking people out to come help me get allergy medicine? It’s pretty bad when Walmart provides a better experience .
