  • I love making chocolate chip cookies, and have refined my technique so a batch of dough fills my two baking sheets perfectly without them smooshing together. The two tricks are using a little more flour and baking soda than the recipe says, so they're a little fluffier and don't spread out so much, and consistent ball size.

  • I came hoping for more intelligent content and less middle-schoolish "I hate

    <whatever>

    and if you don't hate it enough too you're EVIL!"

    Found pretty much the same level of that, but I do like the UI better.

  • I don't think we mean the same thing by "motivating" but whatever, yeah billionaires are bad and it would be better if we capped wealth.

  • Too much trouble, I'm in no hurry.

  • Next time bring a more cunning linguist.

  • I would make a much more specific wish - decrease everyone's greed level by 50%. I think changing human nature by that much would be enough for altruism and cooperation to overbalance selfishness and fear.

  • Reminds me, I used to have compiler errors make the 3 Stooges "bonk-OWW!" sound. Not as a student, as a software dev in my 40s.

  • Notwithstanding this reasoning, many uber-wealthy people consistently say that at some point money itself ceases to be a motivating factor. Once their net worth becomes a meaninglessly large number ir's more about the thrill of seeing large-scale plans come true, overcoming huge obstacles, changing the world, feeling superhuman, etc.

  • I think the badass part was the presentation, which made immediately tripping on a wire all the more embarrassing.

  • You can leave your job behind.

  • Right this moment "Shake it Up" by the Cars. TBH I wouldn't call it "stuck" tho - I play a lot of songs in my head on purpose.

  • "To reach the golden temple you and your companions must first pass through the vast Caverns of Corruption."

  • See you on the Other Side.

  • I'm not a Paramount subscriber but was thinking of getting it to watch Picard. Now I'll just wait til there's a free 30-day trial, or til they put it on Netflix or whatever.

  • Moving means partly alive, but partly alive means mostly dead, so off you go!

  • "Recursive Backronym"

  • I doubt that the pay is insane yet. There are a lot more PHP devs than COBOL devs. About half of the web still runs on PHP. It's true that COBOL runs about half of the financial world, but PHP is less than 30 years old whereas COBOL programs are relics from decades earlier, and generally only get updated minimally if the systems around them change.

  • I agree. A lot of people who mock PHP know almost nothing about it but they know they're supposed to hate it because all the cool kids do.

  • Or TSP (trisodium phosphate) - which you can't even make websites with, but it's great for cleaning oil spots off the driveway.
