Every piece of shit they make that I bought ended up broken and in the trash within a couple of weeks.

Shutting down a laptop also makes it shut up!

At first I didn’t like this, but then I noticed the apology at the bottom.

lol. They’re promoting their employee shuttle. Classic Felon.

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein is one the books I read during my formative years that I still think about a lot.

If you like graphic novels, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman is fantastic. Great writing and great artwork.

Yeah but he’ll change every base unit to x, so now we measure acceleration in x/x^2 and volume is measured in x^3 and the highway speed limit is 80x/(x/60).

You can tweak this metaphor and get plenty of real life examples. Cats are obligate carnivores. There’s been lots of morons who went vegan and decided their cats could be vegan, too. I’ll leave guessing the outcome of that as an exercise to the reader.

The autocomplete is fucking fantastic for writing unit tests, especially when there’s a bunch of tedious boilerplate that you frequently need SOME OF. I’m also really impressed by its ability to generate real code from comments or pseudocode.

Generally, though, I find it pretty awful for writing non-test code. It too often hallucinates an amazing API and I kick myself for not knowing it existed. Then I realize it’s because the API doesn’t actually exist, and the dumb fucker is clearly borrowing from a library from a completely different stack.

Did you put regular detergent in a high efficiency washer?

I took photos at a friend’s wedding and most of the photos of his new wife had her wearing a lace veil.

I dumped all the photos into Picasso (precursor to Google Photos) and it did its background facial ID on everything. Then it suggested more photos that might also be tagged as her.

The extra photos were all just tables with tablecloths on them. It thought she was a tablecloth.

My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.

When Windows 95 was still sold on floppy, it came on 25 fucking floppies in the box.

So I say put Windows 38 on them.
