"A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well." -- a fortune

Excellent summary of the game plan

@pswnsn @TheRhetorRick Blood red of course.

For "Red Letter Bibles" to be accurate, every word from Genesis to Revelation would have to be red. "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" 2 Tim. 3:16

@intellijidea I’ve wondered why Code With Me and AI Assistant were separate things. Now I’ll be able to invite Junie to “Code With Me?”

Introducing Junie, the coding agent by JetBrains 🔥 Delegate routine tasks to Junie or pair with it on more complex ones. The Early Access Program (EAP) for Junie is now open. Join the waitlist to try it in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 🔗 jb.gg/5zeihc

@elonmusk @boringcompany But 1000x less means the money laundering throughput is weak which why they’re proposing $20 Trillion, right?

The @boringcompany could do it for 1000X less money

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming. Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying. 1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage. 2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it. 3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same. 4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it. 5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border. 6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist. 7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it. 8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do. 9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past. 10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

Weirds me out when i see people typing out `clear`. (Almost?) every terminal ive ever used supports ctrl + l

@dnwiebe Congress shall pass no law from which they themselves are exempt. (e.g. Medical/health, retirement benefits).

Put your fantasy laws that would probably benefit the country, but that everybody knows will never be enacted here.

@dnwiebe @unclebobmartin @waq_r Steve Gibson @GibsonResearch @SGgrc

@unclebobmartin @waq_r Who was that guy, Steve something, maybe ten or fifteen years ago, who wrote a bunch of low-level disk utilities for Windows that made the shareware rounds, and he was absolutely uncompromising about writing everything in ASM from top to bottom?

Can you be a programmer if you have never used C?

@ResidentAlien @SYFY Can you please fix the audio for s3e7 in the syfy.com web player and tv? Only the background track plays and not the dialog. tv can switch to ‘English (Andorra) AD’ but with unneeded commentary.

Thirty five years ago Biden gave the response to one of George Bush's speeches. Republicans should have just played this and let Joe Biden respond to Biden's SOTU.

It would be great, @elonmusk, to watch @TheShowOnX on the @X app on TV. Working on it?
