So why not join the majority party — in this case the GOP — and reshape it again from the inside? We’ve seen the GOP is open to tectonic shifts of change, as long as it’s coming from fellow “Republicans.” Donnie himself was a Democrat before he noticed the door to the GOP was already open wide.

The problem is the tech is no longer addressing and solving existing problems. It is only being inserted into working systems to collect data and fees, breaking the processes.

It’s a poem by Stephen Crane, but so short I’m often reminded of it in full:

A man said to the universe:

”Sir, I exist!”

“However,” replied the universe,

“The fact has not created in me

A sense of obligation.”

It sounds nihilistic, but it’s somehow calming whenever I start to feel like I’ve been wronged or I’m owed a break of some sort.

The internet was well established before the mobile web really took off. It looked different (most of us would say better), but it was already a mature part of everyday life. The dot-com “bubble” around Y2K predates the iPhone by years.

It’s not IBM or Disney’s first dance with fascists, sadly.

This won’t be the last time, I’m afraid. At the end of the day, software developers build sandcastles.

If you want to build something that will outlast your company, make sure you also have a hobby or craft outside of computing.

I’m honestly surprised by how old and weak he looks compared to just a year ago. President Vance may be reality sooner than I expected.

When the browser can’t perform its end of the deal? Certainly. I don’t blame Netflix for no longer supporting IE5, either.

Yep. I think this is the standard path for parents today. Kids even get to keep some Angry Birds and PBS Kids cartoon from their formative iPad years.

I think it will be more like the Aztec, but less practical.

Or the 1880s.

Musk has already said he welcomes a chance to work in the Trump administration, so…

actions crimes

I remember they were side by side, but I don’t remember which one I gravitated toward first: It was either Pong or Skeet (with the light gun) for me.

And now I’m reading a computer’s version of a story describing how a computer wrote a story that should have been discarded.

To be honest… that doesn’t sound like a heavy lift at all.

Ha ha. Yeah… funny. … gulp.

Kindness isn’t patronizing. Just offer to help because you care for Stevie and your neighbor. No need to make it a debt (or worse, make her “work it off”), which would redefine your relationship as employer/employee. Just friends doing what friends do.

Most liquors, but gin and tequila in particular.
