Rise and grind

4 panel momo comic:  Panel 1: momo in bed. We see the sun has risen through the bedroom window. Text reads “I wake up”  Panel 2: momo behind his table. There’s a coffee pot and a pink cup of coffee on it. Text reads “pour myself a little coffee”  Panel 3: he’s in a chair behind the table with an opened laptop and a glass of water. It says “check my little emails”  Panel 4: we see he left his house. Door still a little bit open. Text: “ignore them a little bit” as momo gleefully goes to play outside rather than answering his work duties

              Instruction I found for it say to start with hot water, so I begin by starting the electric kettle, turning hot the electric plate and grinding the coffee. Water came to a boil more or less when I've enough ground coffee. I pour hot water, coffee, close it, put it in the hot plate. I make some foamy milk in a mug, coffee and foam are ready at same time. Turn off the plate, add a grid with aluminium and a slice of bread on top. It toast while cooling down

                Although trained in physics, I worked in the computing industry with pride and purpose for over 40 years. And now I can do nothing but sit back and watch it destroy itself for no valid reason beyond hubris (if I'm being charitable).

The kids with their weird hair and 9front on their ThinkPads grow relentlessly restless. Those that value autonomy, joy, artistry, and craftsmanship, will ultimately win.

I couldn't take the corporate ladder climbing, so I climbed down and started watching this trainwreck from a distance. It really does make me sad watching the industry I worked hard within just to crumble under my feet. I do miss the work though. Perhaps someday I'll put my hat back in the ring. Until then, I guess I'll just take a bucket of popcorn and watch the madness unfold. 🍿 :sickmeme:

So if the people financing this hype could see how much they're gonna lose fast, that would be grand, it would maybe avoid a massive recession or a global ecological collapse.

                                                                Anyway, outside of this hellscape, I still have a project I have in mind for 23 years, and I will write it in Go with my bare hands because it is the language I really love and feel creative and productive with.

Through a rigorous series of testing, they ensure that each monitor has its port locations optimized to be impossible to plug the HDMI cable in without turning the whole monitor around and eyeballing the port like some kind of spaceship docking procedure.

Even if they can be arsed to memorise the different operator precedence rules for all of them - and why should they?? - it's grossly unreasonable to expect everyone who's ever going to read your code, including those who've never seen that particular language before, to have memorised them too. Put the ***ing parentheses in FFS.

And now plenty of people can no longer imagine having a modicum of control over what they see and for how long.

Or you can try to rough the alps and call it a good time. Just tell them you'd like to get good and become smooth at solving unnecessary problems, so you don't have to deal with not solving real ones. They'll understand. And if they ask, the code phrase is, "Wayward Soulless".
