  • Anybody remember the brief era when kids would steal school computer mouse balls?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Microsoft buys more than a billion dollars’ worth of excrement, including human poop, to clean up its AI mess — company will pump waste underground to offset AI carbon emissions

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Last week I found the code for the first website I created, way back in the mid 90s. The server-side part was written in Perl.

  • Turns out Cousin It is a Taylor Swift fan.

  • Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse

    Jump

  • No idea. Presumably they expected me to figure out the settings and change it like I did. Or maybe I could have told the Digital Assistant to restart the phone, I dunno.

  • In Settings you select Power as the function of the Power Button instead of Digital Assistant. Then the power button works like it should.
