We fight him because he’s behind a fog wall.



Zero-code has been about to make us all redundant for about five decades running so far.




Their definition of “secret” seems very different from mine.



So proud. Their first step toward being bought out by a massive publisher and then made redundant after a year.


New edition is just an incoherent rant about the “woke mind virus” trying to destroy him for “just saying what everyone is thinking”.



Couldn’t you all just vanish into the tundra if the Yanks stormed the border? They’d soon get bored and go home.



They could figure this out more easily by simply playing the game and deciding if they enjoyed it or not.




“It’s a Fortran system; I know this!”



We do this to ourselves first thing every day even though it’s been shown in studies that the start of the day is when you’re at your most productive.

It’d be super easy to replace Sam Altman with a bot that spits out keywords known to increase OpenAI shares.

Waitaminute… Sam alt-man?

We only have ten logins a day, but what if UserBirthdayEmailer suddenly needs to go Web scale?


Crazy idea maybe, but what if the senior justiciary of his country weren’t political appointees?




Latest Nvidia co-processor can perform 60 million curly brace instructions a second.




The proliferation of libraries that exist only to fix the problems introduced by making everything an SPA is hilarious. Everything in web tech from the last decade is basically “there was an old lady who swallowed a fly”*.

*see also Cloud and container DevOps



Diablo isn’t an ARPG, it’s an inventory management simulator with light action elements.

None of these actually have any role-playing in them though.



He should have it nearly built by now then.


I thought the point of Samaritans were that they were supposedly all awful people apart from the good one in the story.


Looking forward to them getting smashed by Fortnite and Evony instead of Baldur’s Gate and Zelda.
