Almost makes me wonder if this is a mechanical turk situation.

It is also the origin of the anime “wow” sound effect. https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/Anime_Wow_Sound

Same here only it was 20 years ago. UML professor was convinced it would replace programming.

It it it

It has been a few years, but I was once asked to implement 800-171. The document was aggressively vague and really the sort of thing that requires hiring a consultant to setup and probably at least one FTE to maintain. Thankfully our project was abandoned before I had to start looking for other employment just get away from the damn thing.

So I emphasize with Georgia Tech for not perfectly implementing the rules to the governments confusing standards.

However, the researchers refusal to run anti-virus even when required by the contract was just stupid. “Academic freedom” doesn’t mean anything when your grants are revoked or you get sued for millions over a breach. That said, they should have been able to work out some sort of “compensating control” to use instead of anti-virus and get that approved by the government.

Pluto was demoted in 2006, Harambe was killed in 2016. We are not ready for 2026.

Settings itself has been around in one form or another since at least Win95. 29 years…

Settings in Windows 11 is close. I rarely find myself going to control panel when it was about 50/50 in Windows 10. Still more clicks than I would like but workable.

Companies don’t even have to pay people for the time spent going through their own required security checks… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrity_Staffing_Solutions,_Inc._v._Busk

Clearly the sphinxes are the remains of the ancient true cats that were turned to stone by space radiation after the real trees were cut down.

When going to the movies requires planning the entire day around arbitrary showtimes and inflated runtimes, showing up early in case of lines, spending a small fortune on tickets and an even larger one on snacks, dealing with power tripping teens who threaten to call the cops to kill you…, being forced to watch 20 minutes of commercials before the trailers even start so that by the time the movie begins any popcorn left is cold and mysteriously starting to smell like vomit, then running to the restroom to find half the lights and toilets don’t even work, the movie better be guaranteed to be worth the effort and make full use of the “cinema experience”.

For me, that means big names in established franchises with lots of action and explosions as pretty much anything else would be better watched at home.

My indirect experience with python is that it is slow as hell. Anytime I install an app that includes python it lags 15-30 minutes on that step. Anytime I’m asked to install something with conda it takes 30 minutes to an hour.

I’m sure that is just due to environmental and implementation issues, but the Java fans say the same thing…

Random guess, a php error caused Apache to log a ridiculous number of errors to /var/log and on this system that isn’t its own partition so /var filled up crashing MySQL. The user wiped /var/log to free up space.

They’ve overhyped the hell out of it and slapped those letters on everything including a lot of half baked ideas. Of course people are tired of it and beginning to associate ai with bad marketing.

This whole situation really does feel dotcommish. I suspect we will soon see an ai crash, then a decade or so later it will be ubiquitous but far less hyped.

I used to be polite to these things. They used to work. Neither is true anymore.

Mine has air conditioning so I prefer to stay inside except for the random 5 days we get for fall. I hear they will be in December this year.

If not for the BASIC examples in the old 3-2-1 contact kids magazines that I discovered worked on my elementary schools Apple II computers and then later QBASIC, I have no idea what I would be doing in life.

That was my gateway to a greater interest in computers and an eventual job in IT. And. I will always respect BASIC for it.

The ship of theseus was actually a spaceship used by the precursors to reach earth. It was broken down into components which were then reused in human ships both to hide the truth and as part of a secret seafaring cult ritual.

The piece on the titanic accidentally activated during its maiden voyage and attempted to take the ship to the precursor base in Altantis, but since Atlantis was sunk, it took the ship under and crashed into the seafloor.

It was later recovered by the us military in a covert operation disguised as a civilian project and was a key component in winning the space race.

That’s when they turn the farm into a themed hotel that is only open during select holidays.
