Reminds me of the short story where a little boy can see 24 hours into the future. He becomes an international sensation and is on TV every day telling people what disasters are going to happen tomorrow so they can be prevented or mitigated.
One day he pronounces to everyone that starting the day after tomorrow there's going to be world peace and nothing bad will happen anymore.
Mom and Dad are the only ones to notice he talked about the day AFTER tomorrow and not tomorrow. They asked him why?
His reply, "Tomorrow the sun will explode."
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Most people are aware of leap days, the way that the astronomical calendar stays in tune with the seasonal cycle, but what about leap seconds? "Too much time on my hands"

Meta apparently wishes us to give up synchronisation with the Solar day, all for the convenience of poor programmers.
I suggest that for similar reasons, we eliminate the leap day. Later, we can make all months 30 days long. This would still leave an issue with the days of the week, so we should eliminate the week, too.

Listen to me: servers require strong cooling because electronics fail at high temperature. What if we... eliminate temperature? Life will find a way.

Old office habits are being carried over into remote working, killing productivity and leaving workers feeling frazzled. When your name is called, please stand up and say 'Here, Mr. Boss"

Quote: A survey of 2,000 knowledge workers found that 54% feel pressured to appear online and visible while working remotely. I bought a mouse-jiggler. Unfortunately Teams shows me as away unless I actually click somewhere (I'm using the web version) at regular intervals. Bummer. I need something that clicks the mouse for me, and I'm having a hard time training my cat to do that.

Perhaps we could put you in touch with the spambots that bombard us with postings about Indonesian gambling sites.

Yep, software is hard. In addition, anyone here who has watched Honey the Codewitch's struggles with hardware knows that software driving hardware is excruciatingly painful to get correct.

The only difference is that if we really manage to build a real AI, it won't give a rat crap in which country it was build, we ALL will be screwed.

Microsoft has admitted its last Patch Tuesday (and update previews) broke the Start Menu for some Windows 11 users and issued a Known Issue Rollback to solve the problem. No 'Stones music for you!

Odd they didn't fix it in the patch, given they were doing release previews.
