A million times this! I haven’t re-read it once, and I started in the 90s. This book series hada big impact on me. I named my son after a character, in fact!
Now it’s been like 20 years since the last three books came out I think I can read it almost fresh again. Obviously I know the major plot points, but I bet there’s so much I’ve forgotten.
I know why you included both, but saying “1 adb command” and then posting two is funny to me.
The company I worked at got acquired by a big tech company. We’re switching from Google suite to Microsoft, Mac to Windows, Slack to Teams, etc. It’s pretty painful as transitions go, and if not for golden handcuffs I’d be gone.
I’m not sure if I’ll ever be happy with Visual Studio though, so I use Jetbrains Rider.
I identify as a zebra crossing.
Perhaps because their app and its gamification of learning is addictive and quite fun.
I’m sure this won’t be a popular comment, but I can see how having a motivated learner in a 1:1 lesson with an AI might be better for that person than sitting in a class with 35 other people, most of whom don’t want to be there, running through a syllabus that the teacher may not even like, at the pace of the slowest kid in class.
It’s mostly “here’s some bad stuff happening to someone I don’t like” so it’s a bunch of schadenfreude.
For YouTube, viewers aren’t the users, advertisers are.
Hey, stop trolling!
I completely agree. I don’t even like it when the human reader clearly doesn’t understand what they’re saying, so some AI flatly telling me the story isn’t going to cut it.
For the humans, someone mispronounced “quay” for example. “La Jolla” was another standout mistake that took me out of the story.
I was looking to cut down on subscriptions and picked Netflix as an experimental one. I haven’t missed it at all. Things like this make me less likely to occasionally reactivate for a couple of months as I was originally planning.
I wonder when they’ll see a big enough effect to break their current run of fucking over their customers.
I lost my job in April 2024 and I finally got my new job at the end of January. Keep your chin up. Look for people you know who could give referrals. That’s how I ended up getting hired. Good luck!
Is everything he does good? No. Is this story about a good thing? Yes.
The “uplifting news” that makes us all think about US politics again, for the 40th time today.
Making good the enemy of perfect.
You literally never hear “America scientists” even if some of them might be from another country. Same with every single other country I can think of, except China.
If you’re breaking the law then you forfeit your rights in favor of some much more restrictive ones.
“most of the surrounding villages”
For every person switching from Windows to Linux, how many people got a new Chromebook or a Mac, or just do everything on their phones or a tablet?
I have a Linux machine myself, and I love having it, but I don’t think the user base is growing particularly quickly as a percentage of PC OS installations.
I highly recommend the audio book. I feel like it adds something extra over reading the text, which is unusual. No spoilers.
