At least we can look forward to Trump making fun of Dustin Hoffman for being denied the award.

As an older developer, you could replace “machine learning” with “statistical modeling” and “artificial intelligence” with “machine learning”.

It’s clearly there in the first lines of the play:

All the thrills of texting and driving?
It’s novel, but watching the video, I just want them to put the damn device down and focus.
- Comment on [Weekly thread] What have you been watching lately? 30 March 2024 2 months ago:
- Lift - Netflix - total garbage. Like a really bad "oceans 11"
- Shogun - Hulu - Pretty entertaining. It’s 50% culture clash between Japan and a “Barbarian” from London, and 50% warring Japanese clans.
- Bill Burr - Paper Tiger - Netflex standup. The feminism jokes at the beginning already feel dated, but if you stick it out, the latter half is pretty great.
- Halo - Paramount+ - Season 1 was fun, but pretty slow. Season 2 picks up and starts to have a compelling story. I never played the game btw.
- Curb your Enthusiasm - HBO (I’m not calling it Max - no one knows what that is). For me, this continues to be some of the best comedy I’ve ever watched.

- Comment on What does "araffe" mean? 3 months ago:
Whatever/whoever posts these captions used to often use the word “lingers” to describe lingerie. Ex: “Women in lingers on a bed.”
One day, some guy responded to a post and said he couldn’t take it anymore and to stop saying it. It actually stopped. Hasn’t used that word since as far as I’ve seen.
- Comment on What does "araffe" mean? 3 months ago:
It’s the new “lingers”
- Comment on oc based on a true story 3 months ago:
Did he hit his head? The lead kick in?
I’m only half joking. I had a neighbor who I used to describe as slightly conservative-leaning. He suffered a brain injury on the job and is now a full tilt QAnon MAGA goofball.
- Comment on Can you live a fulfilling life with autism? 3 months ago:
Autism, especially higher functioning, often comes with clinical-level anxiety. Definately talk to a psychiatrist and therapist. If you’re already on anxiety meds that aren’t working, try a different one. Keep in mind that the wrong one can cause suicidal thoughts. They vary quite a bit, and new ones are coming out all the time. You’ll eventually find one that helps take the edge off your anxiety. That will help you cope with the other things better. From my experience, things also get naturally better as you age, so there is light in the tunnel.

- Comment on Dollar Stores: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) 7 months ago:
Dollar General is not a “dollar store”. It just happens to have the word “dollar” in the name. They are a normal general store whose bread and butter are poor neighborhoods or far enough out in the sticks that Walmart won’t build.
- Comment on Thinking of visiting a pawn shop. What should I know? 8 months ago:
I see what you did there. I’m wondering if others don’t get it, or just don’t like the joke.
- Comment on McDonald's franchisee group says new $20 minimum wage California fast-food bill will cause 'devastating financial blow' 9 months ago:
BS. They said the same thing about $15, then COVID forced it on them (and presumably also raised their own costs for supplies), and it’s been fine. I think my McDs charges 1.25 for a soda now instead of a dollar.
- Comment on Watch: Billionaire CEO says unemployment 'has to jump' to put 'arrogant' workers in their place 9 months ago:
If management can’t do better than place “warm bodies”, I’d say management is overpaid.
- Comment on The salary a single person needs to get by in every U.S. state 9 months ago:
These all have to be after-tax numbers or there is definitely no way.
- Comment on FYI: Ed Sheeran is a scab. 10 months ago:
I’m confused. I’m not a Sheeran fan at all, and definitely fuck scabs, but in this case, it seems the employees are all working. In other words, he didn’t cross a picket line to go work a shift. This seems like sensationalist bs.
- Comment on Scrum is a cancer 10 months ago:
I think the bigger question might be: “Why is so much effort being made to ‘manage’ developers and their work?” Do other departments have so many different process theories on how best to manage themselves?
From my experience, it’s because most dev teams I’ve been on are completely disfunctional. Most devs I’ve worked with won’t invest in learning the apps and the business. They want to effectively “color by number”. So, when they are given work, they are starting from zero every time. So, they can’t estimate. They can’t meet deadlines. They can’t communicate. They are slow. They are practically begging to be “managed”.
When I’ve been fortunate enough to work with good developers, we don’t get “managed” like this guy describes.

Most of the packaging was removed to take the picture.

“We want to charge you more, but we want to make sure you blame our wait staff for it.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if the QR code sends you to a website bitching about “the current administration”.
- Comment on higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs 10 months ago:
This isn’t an auto-grat situation though. This is the restaurant increasing their prices by 18%, then blaming it on the staff.
By not tipping, you’re just punishing the wait staff for the restaurant’s shitty behavior. Better to tip normally, then tell the restaurant you won’t be back until they get their heads out of their asses.
