@br00t4c I'm not sure Marj should be anywhere near holy water but if she's careful not to get any on herself, she can toss some on Mike Johnson and see if he goes poof!
Someone should show this piece to editors of The New Republic, NY Mag, Slate & all the other media orgs who have published dangerous and anti scientific conspiracy theories about this disease.
@taylorlorenz@georgemonbiot It's so strange that this has been going on for so long. Back in the mid 80's my first wife was diagnosed at first with CEBV (Chronic Epstein Barr Virus), then the diagnosis became Fibromyalgia and finally CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). So that was almost 40 years ago.
@nixCraft It could be if you're doing UX design which I am terrible at but my coding is great. So once the app is done, someone with a creative side needs to review it and suggest color changes, position improvements, etc. It's why I didn't become a photographer right out of high school. A pro told me I didn't have an eye for color or framing.
@drcaberry I was curious and checked my local library, King County, and they don't have any of your novels. Are they through a publisher or a print-on-demand service? I know the latter often aren't on their radar.
@nixCraft FORTRAN was required freshman year engineering at UMASS 1978. Learned BASIC at Wentworth 1981 and then COBOL at CCE in Newton, MA 1983. Haven't looked back since.
@nixCraft Personally I think if you start to make it a rule-of-thumb that Pull Requests must be big or meaningful or good then it stops the natural breakdown of work into small chunks perhaps even just one line in one file.
@taylorlorenz@drewharwell I wonder if Apple stores are equipped with the same. Security followed a non-white woman out of the store recently and I happened to be leaving at the same time. About 10 stores later when she realized she was being followed she screamed at him "Are you following me?" and he said no and turned down a convenient escalator. She was pissed!
Wake me up when AI can cook perfect food for me. I give the machine all the ingredients, and it cooks food for me like a 5-star chef. All this fake text and image generator doesn’t impress me. Imagine machines making healthy and delicious meals for us every day. I will give bounce points if the machine cleans itself after I finish my meals.
@nixCraft No good choices actually. I'm financially secure and as secure in my career as anyone can be these days. A sense of purpose is highly overrated. I just like to get through today. Naps are actually great since a good night's sleep is difficult to come by these days. And I've found that there are a lot of very good Linux desktops around since even the Lindows days.
Sports Illustrated has been making up fake AI authors, claiming they are real, then deleting them when asked and offering no formal comment, editorial note, or other response.
