Oh for fuck’s sake, it was the American ABC. I first saw it as a Guardian article on quokk.au and didn’t recognize the guy’s name.

According to ABC, having a deleted tweet saying what you say yourself is grounds for termination.

Oh fuck off, buying flimsy excuses. For now! Until the crisis ends! Just the tip!

The answer is NO. The reasons are bullshit. Don’t act surprised when he finds new bullshit.

“We wanted it to work like Perl,” said someone who should have been killed on the spot.

Wittgenstein essentially said there is only counter-evidence. You cannot support an explanation; you can only disprove competing explanations. This was famously expressed as a conversation about heliocentrism. His friend said, “To ancient people, it looked like the sun went around the Earth.” Wittgenstein replied, “What would it have looked like if it looked like the Earth went around the sun?”

Engineers don’t let engineers design interfaces.

Reflective LCDs would have been equally blurry, in full color, and still tolerated optional tennis-ball-green frontlights for playing under the covers.

From 1990 to 2000, AA capacity in watt-hours basically doubled. Which did mean anything you had could have modern batteries, since you’d just… buy new batteries.

This is mostly how the DMG Game Boy needed 4 AAs and the Game Boy Pocket got away with 2 AAAs.

I fondly remember having 8 GB of storage, because I could back up my hard drive on like two dollars worth of CD-Rs.

I feared no virus. Reinstalling XP was a monthly affair regardless.

“I never thought that words like product would ever leave my lips.”
