I can’t believe Larry Summers thinks he’s still going to teach classes after this. The students are going to make his life hell.

Nah, it’s the horrible legal one with a guy who’s too old and washed to be developed as an asset by a foreign intelligence service.

YouTube video by Myong | Camera to Freedom Instantly lower music volume over voice with Music Ducking in Premiere Pro

Me: This is hard to listen to.
Her: Yeah, they’re really dumb.
Me: No I mean it’s literally hard to listen to - the background music is louder than the voice track. Does no one do audio engineering anymore?

Nah, that’s Trump.

baby, I just paid a doctor to point at my brain scans and say “this could be a worm”. I was manufacturing evidence to get out of paying alimony, baby, it’s chill.

The middle ground is we boycott games made with genAI, but a studio that made one is allowed to redeem itself by making something else without it.

We’ve done it. We’ve created this generation’s version of “tighten up the graphics on level 3”

Pooh meme, where a normal person might ponder how external senses are a necessary component of consciousness, Epstein asks himself “skin as part of brain??”

Live your life so that when you die, no one digs through your emails and discovers that time you woke up at 3am and emailed yourself “skin is part of brain ?!”

En postapokalyptisk setting där alla teknologiska fynd är värdelösa eftersom de kräver en internetuppkoppling och ett aktivt prenumerationsabonnemang.

Your cringe is mine, my gay is yours.

Why is aurora research funding NSFW oooooh nevermind

I’ve got a theory that every Elder Scrolls game has to do one thing so badly that it never gets repeated. In Oblivion it was “leveling up is bad” and in Skyrim it’s “what if the narrative climax of fighting a dragon happened randomly instead of as the climax of a narrative?”

Oblivion is great because it asked the hard questions, like: “What if you could level up WRONG”
What if going up a level made everything worse? What if having fun interacting with the world eventually softlocked you and bricked your save? #gamedev

Standing tall atop Mount Dunning-Kruger I proclaim to the world that I know the first thing about anything

Fight the devil and win; better things are possible

Article with a quote from Duck Durbin claiming that his total capitulation on healthcare has taken healthcare from an issue no one thinks about (!!) to an issue of major national importance.

“Did I piss my pants? Yes, but what’s important is everyone saw me piss my pants. We’ve elevated my damp trousers to a major national issue.”

Introducing the Infinity-Year Mortgage. You just pay interest forever! It’s like rent you pay to the bank, and there’s not even a paper thin notion that they’ll maintain the property for you. Also rent laws don’t apply to it.

What was the original question? I feel like this guy is actually losing his argument with the vending machine. Stalin's shift to Socialism In One Country was because they didn't think the conditions for revolution existed yet in other countries. So they had to wait, but the goal remained the same.

Concerning.

Oh that probably helped Mamdani a lot with the critical bloc of voters who show up at the polls and picks name completely at random.

If you don’t have any socialism you can try substituting communism, but you’ll want to use one third as much, and it’s gonna make it saltier.

It's actually just poundless Georg, who we all know by now shouldn't be counted in the average.

Donald Trump at his desk, staring into the distance, completely tuned out as everyone else in the picture attends to a medical emergency. A man is unconscious on the floor with a crowd gathered around him, six feet to Trump’s left. Trump appears to be completely unaware.

Oh like you never disassociated at a work meeting before

Oh, it’s more than just an okay approach - sometimes it’s the best approach. A good way to see the elegance of a “just a bunch of ifs” style is to keep adding rules to fizzbuzz:

If the number is divisible by 7, output an empty string.

Every third time you output fizzbuzz, say buzzfizz instead

Etc

“I’ll just replace all these clumsy if statements with a single elegant system that handles everyone’s special use case.”
- Junior coder sticking his hand in the Bene Gesserit box

What amuses me most is how bad the armchair programmers are at even identifying bad code. They’ll harp on a long chain of if/else statements that handle special cases while every experienced dev says “yup, that’s how you do it.”

I think the applause is because that’s an actual person who’s just pretending to be a robot doll.

Twinkies gotta be non-perishable tho right?
