If you get older and want a DNR, have it tattooed on your forehead! My mom coded after a long fight with SuperNuclear palsey (Dudley Moore) and they grabbed the wrong chart and revived her.

She lived another six months in a vegetative state.

I was walking out of the Columbus Zoo and saw a HUGE Indian family getting a picture, and i did a big photo bomb as I went behind. Then I realized I worked with the guy taking the picture.

I stopped and offered to take the picture so he could be in it. The I took a few good pics and erased the one I was in.

I joined a barbershop chorus! They have both men and women versions.

I am going to post this reply, even though I just realized the clip is FIFTEEN years old: https://youtu.be/jw7ajsKmbd4?t=137

Tell them you can have sex as soon as you're done cleaning.

Is Ascension the one about the colony spaceship in the 50s/60s? I always figured it was a victim of some sort of network switch in the middle. Never bothered to check.

I just had to mute a reddit sub of exactly this. Video just started playing in my feed.

yeah, you can see I got the quote messed up!

The guy reading the article at the beginning (whose shoulder they're reading over) is Ronald D. Moore.

He doesn't like it when you call him that.

Edit "You know he doesn't like that name."

Which really blows because the NBC mini-series version with Sam Neil really nailed a great ending.

Damn, that's discouraging. Been in IT since 1986, mainframe to java to cloud. Not a single person has reached out to me.

There's this one episode where Lana cries that's pretty good.

Exactly! We turned that corner about a decade ago. A "good" developer now just writes barely functioning code as fast as possible.

I don't think it's there yet at capacity. The change over would be disruptive and that's a political third rail.

I really wish I could find it, but there was this old video of a guy giving a roadmap plan for cities to use less electricity with no loss of quality of life. He got down to things like how the motors in elevators are so inefficient because of how they get produced. And that's because of how ALL motors get produced to be the standards that we use. (bad paraphrase by me of course)

Don't bother. They're thinking of powering a city, not a house. I want to go completely off grid at my house too, not gonna happen because my wife thinks the panels are ugly.

My personal opinion is that you are seeing the results of companies using non-technical folks to manage IT projects. It started back in the 80s about the same time as I started.

I remember people rolling their eyes at trying to explain why a job failed or a disk needs replacing. Now that's a full time job.

So of course the management now wants to measure everything, and they come up with nonsensical metrics and it ruins the flow for everyone.

Younger folks that come into IT see a bunch of metrics and just try to stay in the game.

Or... humans are the only animals that have so much trouble accepting it.

The only thing I didn't like was a show at some hospital and it was a comedy. Just didn't work for me.

That's exactly what he was doing, participating in the early forums. I asked him once where he was hearing this stuff.

I still had dial up, and two kids, so no forums for me!

Are you maybe thinking of DISinformation?

Misinformation is objective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misinformation

When you start getting deeper than that, you have to start looking at things like justified true belief.

Anybody get the impression that maybe these boffins got high and just started making popcorn... then got caught and the extended cover up led to this paper?
