Started computer science in grade school with only an hour of actual computer time a week. A LOT of theory and history. Charles Babbage, Ada, ENIAC, etc.

This stuff was drilled into our heads. Same with bit, byte and, halfway between bit and byte, a nibble. It’s a thing. 4 bits is a nibble.

Funny enough, I couldn’t code to save my life now.

As a Nepali expat… Why Nepal? Did Indiana Jones not do enough demonization? #KeepHitlerProblemWhite

Unfortunately I can’t have that chat ever. I’m the one (in most of my career, not now) responsible for telling my folks what the customer wants, and not in a sales way.

Okay honest confession… I read it enough to make sure it wasn’t Torvalds.

I used to use it for free when I was broke. Now I give a little extra per month to hopefully offset that. It’s invaluable to me. That and public radio.

This is one of those things I see people complain about everyone complaining. Like vegans or CrossFit people. I’ve met far more people complaining about complaints than actual incidents.

Most of us get it. It’s kids. I’ve seen obviously not emotional support animals brought in by asshats. Kids aren’t my concern.

I once vouched for my (brother, best) friend at a South Asian restaurant. Told them in my language to give what he asked, and I would be responsible. I’ve never seen a human so happy. Love you my brother. Mike, may you always smile like that.
