Suddenly, thousands of sneakers wash ashore all over Ireland and everybody is trying to pair them up.

All-day “Sprint Grooming” meeting

That was the impression I got about functional programming, from what little I read about it like 15 years ago. Sounds like somebody found a pretty hammer and everything became a nail.

Do curried functions come with grated coconut and a lime wedge?

N is for No Surviiiivors, here in the deep blue sea!

Thankfully never got sucked into that void. I had a coworker who really evangelized functional programming. I wonder what he’s up to now.

Hey, that’s Elite catastrophic failure!

LOL but it was ’ x + 1’ not ‘x += 1’ tho.

That’s what I get for having sucky vision.

no, settings = settings but settings != Settings, as we all know.

isInHell = '(x + 1 > x)'

Dammit, my friend just said he would give me access to his file server, all I have to do is install Plex. Presumably this announcement means that will become impossible without a subscription.

At one of my jobs around 2010 there was a dev in the office who wrote all his code in Notepad. When I joined the staff they were still using Classic ASP. My job was to help them (finally) migrate to ASP.Net. He intended to develop .Net apps in Notepad rather than learn how to use VS. I got laid off due to cutbacks and never found out what kind of luck he had wit dat.

Me, using a cheap old laptop that does exactly what I need instead of rebuying overpriced Apple products every time a new one comes out.

The system that’s trying to dumb you down LOVES when you really believe an image can tell you everything you need to know.

Keep thinking that way, and don’t forget your Brawndo!

Any organization that promotes Linux should find some of these charities nearby and offer to assist them in installing Linux distros that feel like Windows. We need not divert this into an argument over which ones are best. The point is that besides keeping a lot of hardware out of landfills it would help spread awareness of how user friendly Linux has become. I’ve been using Mint Cinnamon for over a month and barely notice the difference from Win10.

When I run out of the solar system I’m going to move on to Star Wars.

I’ve named my last few computers after planets, with disks named after moons.

When I worked at Microsoft they had all kinds of clusters - OurGang with Spanky, Darla, Alfalfa… Addams with Gomez etc, Disney with Mickey, etc.

The older you get, the more things are like programming in bash.

Our gluten-free code is handcrafted with all-natural intelligence.
