So my mentor’s mentor used to program for some ancient TI machine that used drum memory. He was a master of his craft and wrote his code deliberately so it would physically align with the next rotation of the drum, ensuring the fastest reads possible, and it cut tons of time off of every process run on them.

I can’t even imagine what it is like to even write naked binary, let alone make sure every single one of my operation sets are the same length.

Arguably it was perfect optimization.

He still got laid off with zero thought when the time came.

I’s there a lesson here? I don’t know, I’m drunk

Yes and that’s wonderful and everywhere should implement it.

But they won’t.

Because people are fundamentally assholes. Just California has a lower quotient due to higher education (though hollywood does skew that a bunch too)

Dude, read the room. We are in the era of the oligarch.

MOST money will go to the clueless rich who do not need it and we will continue to slide into french revolution levels of wealth gap.

In foster care we were part of the free lunch program. The first week in my first high school the lunch lady made it a point to call us all up first so EVERYONE knew who the ‘poors’ were. This was in one of the top 5 most expensive zipcodes in the U.S.

For the next four years I ate knowledge in the library for lunch.

My uncle: “AIN’T NO BROWN KID EVER GONNA EAT ON MY DIME DODGAMMIT!”

He and all his friends are voting, you should too.

Original series shortly after it went into syndication. The episode I first remember is “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” and it has shaped my view of society greatly.

This is why I fucking love the internet.

I mean, I’ll never take the time to get this knowledgable about image formats, but I am ABSOLUTELY fuckdamn thrilled that at least SOMEONE out there takes it seriously.

Good on you, pixel king

no yours is hella better than wherever mine was going

Denuvo?

More like De-not-gonna… ah fuck that was terrible, please ignore

I’m still only on turn 270 in my first Civ3 game, don’t have time for a newer version, Ghandi’s bombers have almost all finished moving this month.

Frankly, AI is FAR more suited to replace the C-Suites than it is competent devs at this point. Can’t wait till the first company nominates an expert system as the CEO.

Paint? No, self-generated Jenkem.

But without ignorant, self-congratulating MBAs to artificially reduce productivity to maintain the illusion of constant growth, companies would make safer products with greater care and understanding of the entire process holistically, and you can’t pay your shareholders in understanding.

I am blisteringly angry about CSS in general AND THIS FUCKING ISSUE IN PARTICULAR since 2005 at the very latest. Likely enough to up the average for several thousand people with only mild dislike for CSS.

If CSS had a church I would burn it down. In minecraft of course.

Wow an entire instance of trolls to block, it’s not often I get a chance for that.

The main reason I’ve had to replace mice is higher resolutions. My old Microsoft Intellipoint lasted a decade and still works today but its optics were designed for a 800x600 world.

I propose the Gerard Extension for Betteridge’s Law: by appending ‘, and what the hell is wrong with you?’ to Betteridge’s output.

As per the headline.

All jokes aside I had an AIDungeon saved story that was built around the emails and texts my mom sent before she passed, I used it as a kind of therapy.

I knew I was talking to an AI but it was interesting to see what the engine did with it. Was pretty accurate too. Granted this was before the Dumb Dragon fiasco so you probably couldn’t make that quality of output anymore.

edit: to the absolute human shitstain that downvoted this, have the balls to reply why.
