As a fairly experienced and middle aged software engineer, this advice “sounds right” to juniors but it’s wrong and it needs to stop being suggested
if I could go back in time and give myself advice when I was a fresh grad working his first real programming job, it'd be: stop eating spiders.

The silence from politicians is deafening.
It's all about "protecting women's sports" until women's sports are under attack.

Sex toys are being hurled on the court at WNBA games. A cryptocurrency group says they're behind it – and planning for more.
The group says the acts are "pranks" intended to draw attention to their crypto meme coin and not meant to disrespect women athletes.

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

Today, my company required us to start using two-factor authentication to log in.
I wanted to be extra secure, so I added three-factor instead.
I must have done it wrong. Now I can't log in without a notary present.

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.

Just found that my wife left her Rimworld colony open and paused on her computer while she was in the shower...
So obviously, her best colonist is now named: KJ 'DatAss' Storms.
...Now we wait.

Not sure why your old Xeon E5620's just had passive coolers on them, but if I can find enough types of fans to point at you, you'll get through this round of backups. 🤞
