@shanselman @cmallios89 @PdroPM I’ve been listening to you for decades. This quote is perfect Well done, sir.

@cmallios89 @PdroPM Some are trolling, and some just think that they are right, it’s the combination that it’s the challenge. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works

Apple does this and y’all love it. sudo powermetrics --samplers cpu_power and see it yourself. Let windows cook

@azuresupport #azhelp: I am getting emails about my unpaid account. A credit card changed. However, evidently, I have not set all this up correctly and nothing, *nothing* will let me sort this out. Been at it for days. Can anyone help me?

Did she deserve that?

@Andercot When the crane lifts it off the flatbed and puts it in the field for the photo op, top speed never goes above .2 mph. It’s the least exciting photo possible.

Can any space nerds help me understand how the Blue Origin capsule came back down without any re-entry burns? Was this a trajectory thing or some kind of superior material used? Falcon crew capsule for comparison

@0ContextHQ The punk. Or Jesus. Not sure which

New: Trump’s transition team is bypassing traditional FBI background checks for at least some Cabinet picks while using private companies to vet potential candidates for admin jobs, sources tell us. More w/ @evanperez, @KristenhCNN & @HolmesLybrand cnn.com/2024/11/15/pol…

@PELock @davepl1968 Wow.

@davepl1968 If the story goes into background & nobody talks about it, it's even more delayed due to the stupid shit invented by Jake Archibald from Google to slow down the timers (Dave imagine slowing down accurate timers in Win) :D developer.chrome.com/blog/timer-thr…

@jdfvtback It’s a message. To everyone else.

She threw soup on a piece of glass. The glass being close to the painting is irrelevant, it could’ve been 10m away for all intents and purposes. Two years for throwing soup on some glass.

@mattjay Wow

What. The.

@AlexSmith90014 @Capn_Pipsqueak @TheCriticalDri2 Lucky? Fuck you.

The "choosing their parents" bit is sarcasm, to highlight that people who inherit have done nothing to deserve it. Why should two kids with the same grades in school have quite different wealth at age 21, say, when they have done nothing to accomplish it themselves? Inheritance tax steals from the lucky to give to the rest of us (indirectly) by helping support other government-funded things we'd otherwise pay for with more income tax.

Inheritance tax has got to be the most retarded of all taxes. You have to pay the government money for the privilege of inheriting something that's already yours, and has already been taxed before it even got to you. Why?

@AlexSmith90014 @TheCriticalDri2 Horseshit

@TheCriticalDri2 Every parent wants to leave something to their child, but generational wealth is not a good thing. Why reward people for picking their parents well? Inheritance tax still allows folks to leave the kids quite a lot, while bringing in taxes that can reduce the burden on us all.

@kellabyte Which one are you?

@deedydas Took PL/C at Cornell in 1973. Hated it, the professor and all the impossible bullshit that came with it.

Compilers was was known to be the hardest CS class at Cornell which was hard as it is. We were handed a 8-page PDF at the start of sem for a language spec we'd be implementing by the end of sem, split into 6 parts. On part 5, the median was a 0/100 and most the class failed.

@troyhunt @BBC @Daniel_ThomasG HAHAHAHAHAHA. OMG. THE TWATS.

Anyone got a @BBC contact that can get this fixed? Not sure if this is your piece @daniel_thomasg: "The hackers, who call themselves "Have I Been Pwned", made off with more than 31 million email addresses, usernames and passwords." view.email.bbc.com/?vawpToken=PXK…

@davepl1968 @elonmusk I believe it’s rare for people to have sound judgement is some areas of their lives and be crackers in others. Why invest in that instability? I also believe he has an enormous platform and with that comes responsibilities. Accomplishments require time to become wisdom. It’s MIA

This week my wife bought a Plaid and we got Starlink at home. I've been chastised for both by folks who are concerned with @elonmusk's foray into politics. I drive a Mercedes, and you know who Ola Källenius votes for? Me either, and I don't care. And that's kind of the point - why would the politics of the innovator matter? Now I didn't say ethics - if a company is using child labor and you buy their products, you're complicit in the crime. But politics? So that's my question - should the fact that he "says crazy shit on Twitter" impact your decision to buy one of his products?

@sadukie What a waste.

Anyone else notice that the people you tried to follow on here are now 9 miles down the feed? I got on here to follow tech people and it was great for a while. Now it’s really terrible. Just political nonsense. Bots, assholes and bot-assholes have ruined it.
