And “hellpers” on the cover, tee hee.

That last one is fun. Look at it for long enough and you’ll realise it’s actually a colour photo.

It’s not OP’s fault that the actual article title is click bait. They were kind enough to give the actual lede.

Or battery life. I could care less if the new phone is 0.64mm thinner, spend that volume on extra joules instead.

Sincerely,
those of us who remember pda’s with 14- or 25-day battery life.

Used to be, people wore boots with heels for functional reasons (to not slip through a saddle’s stirrups). Nowadays, posh non-riders wear them to look fancy.

True in 1627, I guess, true now as well.

As a divorced dad, Bluey is painfully sweet. I love that show to bits and it saddens me that my girl will soon no longer want to watch it as she gets older.

🥲 Those family dynamics.

Does the flight sim in Excel count? If yes, then that.

Otherwise, Day of Defeat (Steam mod). Still somewhat peeved that it never got the same recognition as CS.

This is quite an accomplishment. Kudos.

For my family, the biggest hurdles by far is a mail/calendar combo that works as well and supports sharing etc, and how the hell to migrate out of Gmail when so many of my emails have several labels which won’t translate cleanly into IMAP folders. I wonder how you tackled those, or how you compromised.

There’s a lot of humour in there, but this:

CSCI 3300: Classical Software Studies
Discuss and dissect historically significant products, including VisiCalc, AppleWorks, Robot Odyssey, Zork, and MacPaint. Emphases are on user interface and creativity fostered by hardware limitations.

I’d take that course in a heart beat. I’ve read some of Atkinson’s ideas and thoughts, and the man was deeply sane.

It must be decades now that my LinkedIn background banner is a screen shot of Zork source code.

I mean, good news, but I bet somebody is awfully embarrassed.

I’m using Sync (on android) and it’s quite pleasant. No ads, does what it needs to.

I just tried it. There’s ads on every screen. Bye, Boost!

I’ve never had a contract that didn’t say that. I always pushed back. Without exception, the response was that hobby projects and open spar stuff is fiiine as long as you don’t use company machines, time, resources, or compete with their market.

…except that I’m an idiot who messed up dabbling in geography.

Apologies.

You go from being sad to just not caring. That very much does not make you happy, but it might make you stop complaining.

There’s a comic where the doc then says “good enough!” and that’s supposed to be funny. Ha ha ha. Same reason I stopped reading Dilbert: it’s not really funny when it’s an accurate account of what really happened.

Pinned in the gps.

I know you weren’t asking for advice, but a good first step is to set your map navigation to always show North up (not route up). This helps mental map pieces align and fall into place.

Just one data point, but my ex wife would take a deep breath every time she was in a parking garage because she really liked that smell.

Well, OP didn’t specify good jokes…

…and then you get reprimanded for lackluster productivity (judging by progress on the projects on your own plate). 😑

You lifting up others doesn’t translate to losing yourself up, unless there is (unusually) healthy culture about that in your company.
