See, this is the sort of thing that makes me question modern journalism.

Price tag saying ten for eight or six for three.

Quick, how much will ten of these cost? Hint: the answer is NOT eight dollars.

I think #Delta is literally loading this plane in the least efficient manner imaginable. Front to back, aisle then window. Now we have people moving two directions for overhead space. It's would be impressive if you tried to do it this precisely.

It is impossible to put away pots and pans without being comically loud when you have a 2-year-old #sleeping #baby in the other room.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Have I complained about Azure Data Factory ever? Probably not - I quit using SSIS years ago. But here... here's a dynamic parameter for generating a table name. What's wrong with it? There's a TRAILING `\n` THAT YOU CAN'T SEE BUT IT NOW TRIES TO WRITE TO A TABLE NOW WITH A LINE FEED IN THE NAME.

After 18 years, Sony's Blu-ray media production draws to a close β€” shuts its last factory in Feb MiniDiscs for recording, MD data for recording, and MiniDV cassettes will also be abandoned.

This both makes me feel #old and #sad. I <3 physical media, and I SUPER LOVED my first BluRay writeable drive. I admit I don't really use it any more, but I do have stacks of disks to go through for my personal archaeology. www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster, and boasting, and rashness, and other signs of insecurity.  Jimmy Carter

Is there a tag for weird or bad #requirements, particularly those that come from actual #PMs? The hour long meeting we recently had included the gem "... should be greyed out in <indescribable circumstance>" was found to mean "not literally greyed out" and in situations that can never occur. *sigh*

I actually don't hate it. It's like gift wrapping for code. I mean I'd hate to write it but it's not horrid to read if you have to like teach code.

Love this thread. I loved my Atari 2600 when I was a child. My high school Commodore-128. Nintendo-64 and PC gaming in College. Wii with a kid. Xbox when I had a teenager. My wife's PS4. And looking forward to what li'l baby gets into! Every era can be magical! But I get the #nostalgia #age bias.

Well this is enlightening. Subjective survey results of course, but there's a pretty big difference here. #DataViz Of the Day - thanks www.voronoiapp.com/wealth/What-...

Had someone genuinely yell and complain (really about an issue of their own making), refuse to hear and response, mic drop and and walk off a call at work yesterday. Left 8 people bewildered. Haven't seen that lack of #Professionalism like... Ever.
