Dev: “Boss, we need additional storage on the database cluster to handle the latest clients we signed up.”

Boss: “First see if AI can do it.”

Grok has said disparaging things about Elon Musk so I’m assuming it’s going to be disappeared to El Salvador soon.

GitHub Copilot about to be clocking some overtime on COBOL conversions.

They don’t even need that anymore either, ‘cause they can just use the chips and magnetofluids they’ve injected into everyone via vaccines. So outdated.

This was basically the plot of Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers.

See Zed ‘Em?

Which raises the question of what the difference is between the sink poop knife and the toilet poop knife?

Yeah, I mean it’s in the context of the time,‘I never had a problem with that per se. It’s more that some folks took it out of that context and were not quite as situationally aware I guess you could say.

Then there’s the cases of folks like Jerry Lee Lewis marring his 13 year old cousin, Elvis marrying a 14 year old, etc.

Might you be thinking of “Sweet Little Sixteen” by Chuck Berry? The guy who btw installed cameras in women’s bathrooms?

Also, the most venerated boomer band of all time…

“She was just 17… if you know what I mean “

Love the Beatles, mind you, but uhhhh… all of those boomer bands were like that.

“I used to pull your pigtails And your scrunched up nose But baby you been growing And baby it’s been showing From your head down to your toes”

Another Elvis hit, “Little Sister.”

Again, love the King, but uhhh….

Just for the sake of comparison, Alphabet had $308 billion in revenue and $74 billion in profit in 2023 if I’m reading the numbers correctly. But they need cheaper labour.

Who’s ready to fly on a zipline?

In the recent Musk biography it was said that at some point after a meeting with NASA he changed his laptop password to “ilovenasa” so you’re not far off in terms of terrible password security if the story is accurate.

Donald Knuth, author of The Art Of Computer Programming, basically our bible, famously doesn’t use email.

Any idea how long such a run would take? This kill screen took around 40 minutes I think? I

’m not a Tetris community member but I’m interested in the whole ordeal as a gamer in general and programmer, and these sorts of things are interesting as an intersection of the two. I’ve also been playing Tetris since before it even came out on the NES or GameBoy and still play it in various instalments from time to time. I think I have to consider it to be the perfect video game in concept to this day, and seeing it get so much love after all these years is endearing to those of us who remember its beginnings.

There’s also one weird level that takes 800 lines to clear as opposed to the usual 10.

The trick to getting that high regardless will be making sure not to hit the conditions required for the kill screen to occur, like getting a single line on level 155 which didn’t happen here, and somehow making it past all of the potential kill screens to reach 255. I’m not knowledgable in the ways of NES Tetris to know if this is possible but I’m surely interested in finding out. I’ve read various analyses that say it’s theoretically possible and theoretically impossible so it would be nice to see something definitive.

Even with just one bit and a few switches this seems like the sort of thing Picard could use to send an encoded message to Riker and Data in the future should the need arise.

Techstars is a start up accelerator. They’re pretty well known in their niche with accelerator/incubators all over the place.
