Well, it's one smartass that spun up his own system and that reports 39m users.

A different kind of spam, looks like.

  • It may be counting Threads / Bsky participants
  • More likely fediverse broke through to the awareness of bit fleet maintainers....

You sure this isn't just anti-rowhammer et al mitigations?

Go with m68k then, high level, very orthogonal, with enough registers to not need tying yourself into a pretzel for most tasks.

Play Turing Complete.

If you can finish it without copying solutions wholesale, you're ready for writing assembly in the real world.

Amazon is extremely data-centric at that management level. If he's not showing hard data, then the data he has go against the narrative he's pushing.

Nah. Zorg was competent.

I thought that was called pulling a Christopher Walken...

This is solid advice.

Also, the macOS ecosystem is predicated on you being rich enough (or fool enough) to buy it, and everything is nickel-and-dimed.

Subnautica; at the beginning your pod drops into the surface of the ocean, then you open the hatch and you climb out... to see an infinite expanse of blue sea under a blue sky.

That triggered so many memories for me, I had to take a minute. The color grading on that scene was on point.

One of the Quake games has a section where you get captured, then put on a conveyor belt where you see other people in front of you get mutilated, then that happens to you. That scene almost triggered a dissociative episode.

The original ending of Mass Effect 3 brought me to tears because the Clint Mansell music meshed so well with the on-screen segments, it really moved me. That said I also like the remastered ending; the latter is like the last few chapters of Lord Of The Rings, the former is like an American movie ending.

To your last point: money being created != Wealth/value creation; it's more like wealth redistribution (if you create a thousand bucks out of thin air, in an economy of a trillion it's small potatoes - but it does add up fast and affects everyone).

There absolutely is value in banking, but it's not nearly enough as much as advertised.
