Not out of range for moral support. I'm sure there's an alien out there having a shitty day. Like, maybe his spaceship got towed and he lost his job at the Dyson sphere. I'm rooting for you, buddy!

You're going to regret those words when you die and face judgment before the Moth God.

Is it really worth it?

"Why didn't they just get the Eagles to take the ring to Mt. Doom?"

"Tolkien was really bad at subtlety and metaphor. Depicting Sauron as a literal flaming eye is such a dumb literary choice."

"Why does the Balrog have wings when it can't fly?"

The fact it was fake would get leaked, possibly along with the real list. The Trump cabinet is one of the leakiest cabinets in history.

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy apples, and that cat looks pretty happy to me.

DEI stands for "DS2 Enjoyers Inclusive"

I don't think having well-defined precision is a rare requirement, it's more that most devs don't understand (and/or care) about the pitfalls of inaccuracy, because they usually aren't obvious. Also, languages like JavaScript/PHP make it hard to do things the right way. When I was working on an old PHP codebase, I ran into a popular currency library (Zend_Currency) that used floats for handling money, which I'm sure works fine up until the point the accountants call you up asking why they can't balance the books. The "right way" was to use the bcmath extension, which was a huge pain.

I work at big tech (not MS) and yes, the comp package really is that good, though not as good as it used to be. I immediately doubled my total comp when I came here from my last job, and now it's ~5x. I could retire right now if I wanted, so I don't care about layoffs anymore.

Yeah, it got really popular when the Bible dropped in the 2nd century BCE. The Noah flood story was basically a copy-and-paste of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Bible nerds were annoying af.

nah dude, there was plenty of room. I was 5,584,917,772 in line and I remember it was only about half full.
