I agree it's pretty stupid to pay a tax just for owning something. Let's change it so they pay it every time they use it. Much more fair.

Damn now how am I gonna live without "Change my cursor to Sims 4"?

Reading the paper, AI did a lot better than I would expect. It showed experienced devs working on a familiar code base got 19% slower. It's telling that they thought they had been more productive, but the result was not that bad tbh.

I wish we had similar research for experienced devs on unfamiliar code bases, or for inexperienced devs, but those would probably be much harder to measure.

Wife has been binging Law and Order SVU recently and I noticed there's a lot of episodes where they have abused children turn into abusive adults, with the explanation that it's a natural response of the brain trying to get in a position where it will never be vulnerable again.

No idea if that theory has any merit, but if true I wonder if that can also happen in a larger scale, to an entire society instead of just to an individual.

Back in school, one of my first sex ed classes, teacher says: "boys have a factory of sperm in their bodies".

Me, trying to be funny: "oh so that's why sometimes there's smoke coming out of my mouth?"

Thankfully it landed well with the classmates, but the teacher was really worried I took it literally.

Not like there's much else worth watching on Netflix these days.

Worked on a personal game for 7 years nearly every day. Signed with a publisher and gave up on the project the following year.

"what are you saying? That I can quit vim?"

"no Neo, what I'm saying is - when you're ready, you won't have to."

It'll be over one day and I don't know how high the DPI will have to be, but I'm currently at 160 and I still see room for cramming in more pixels.

I started using computers at 640x480, sometimes 800x600. 1024x768 was a blessing. Since then I've always cherished every extra pixel I could get. I would never dare use anything above 1x scale.

But they also keep you in your toes. Nobody ever worries about what their fish is doing while they aren't looking.
