Giant space cat dragon!

"run by" is doing a lot of lifting in that headline

The tune don't have to be clever
and it don't matter if you put a couple of extra syllables into a line

RIP Tom Lehrer. I discovered his music in 1974, when my teacher brought in one of his albums to illustrate different forms of political protest. She generously let me borrow it, I played it a zillion times. At that age, I didn't understand it all, but I still thought it was hilarious. And still do.

Also, someone missed a chance to describe this as "spilling the tea"

This is what happens when an actual expert has to listen to amateurs confidently spewing armchair theories, over and over and over again. The first thousand times it is cute. Then it starts to get annoying.

I guess that's your way of saying "no, Brian, it's just you", and that's fair.

But I guarantee you there were many rounds of meetings and presentations and go-to-market plans, all produced and reviewed by handsomely paid marketing executives, and yet still .. this is what they got.

Jersey Mike's tagline is "A Sub Above." But "Sub" literally means "below." Does this bother anyone else, or is it just me?

Stories like this always have that Zoolander ring of "died in a freak gasoline-fight accident"

Thank you for being one of the few people to use the word “apropos” correctly.

P1s rocks. Got one around Xmas time.

Hertz got bought out of bankruptcy during Covid by private equity. It’s not the same company any more.

There must be a BeanieCoin?

sometimes the universe sends you serendipitous messages

And even when you are not eating it! It makes the SCP noises as soon as you pour the milk on it.

I also have a cat named Lily who also loves to walk on my keyboard. I put some of these up over my desk and now everyone is happy.

I've had to stop using the word "delve" because someone decided it was a bayesian indicator, and the rest of the world doesn't know what a bayesian indicator is.

You don't need a PhD in CS, but you do need some background. If you've got a mathematical bent, the best textbook on type theory is Pierce's Types and Programming Languages, which gets to HKT relatively late in the book, but you don't have to read it straight through.

All righty right my brothers...

The cases, we hates them

Are you sure you're not being fooled by random fluctuations in usage frequency?

But first, we must discuss how is it they managed to correctly spell argle-bargle, down to the hyphen, and misspell foofaraw so badly?

Time to say it again:

Code is not an asset. If anything, it is debt; every line of code is a potential bug and a potential maintenance problem.

Yes, just think how much crypto they could mine instead!

OK now you're just making stuff up

A beautiful example of the pervasive folly of "Just make an option!", which almost every developer falls for every day

What is the plural of "monorepo"? Can it even be pluralized?

More precisely, how space-time works
