Microsoft has fun on Twitter teasing a new release of Windows 1.0 and all its apps, including the game Reversi. I hope this isn't the new lightweight Windows they were promising us
But the return of Reversi!
Yeah, probably a Stranger Things promotion (Windows 1.0 was from the Upside-down anyway). Time will tell, I guess.

Several buildings at Facebook’s Menlo Park campus have been evacuated after a machine at the company’s mailing facility alerted employees that a package may contain sarin Not going to make light of this. Hopefully it's a false positive.

Hating the b@stards: OK.
Murdering the b@stards: way over the top.

Even then. You can dislike the top brass for the greedy decisions, but the mail room guys trying to feed their family? I guess that would assume the potential senders had the mental capacity to think before acting.

I once shared a cube with 3 other programmers. My first day one emailed me and said if I had any questions don't hesitate to ask. I replied back and said I would give them a jingle if I did. Programmers don't talk to people, why would we talk to an inanimate object? Besides I don't think I want my laptop typing in the words I say when my code doesn't work the way I want it to. Maybe I'm just old school introvert.

I just wrote my first voice generated PERL script:
open open bracket no open bracket you stupid pile of tin am i meant to say ( ah yes so i am good now where was i yes open bracket damn no backspace backspace will you delete all start again open ( o do come on infile comma arg vector zero no you berk that's dollar sign upper A upper R upper G upper V open square bracket zero close square bracket o my god are you serious i have to leave at midnight close square bracket close bracket oh not again god i hate computers awe no i said awe not or really where's my goddamn keyboard die double quote no scratch that just die
It's a cool enough script but for some reason it won't run.

A new study suggests people stop gathering evidence earlier when the data supports their desired conclusion than when it supports the conclusion they wish was false. All the evidence I need to believe them

Another proof... they won't stop doing "studies" of the elephantingly obvious just because their interest is in the funds and no the relevance of the "conclusions"

That's not the only reason, though.
Don't forget the "I'm a cr@p teacher who wouldn't last ten minutes in the real world, and I haven't got a clue what to do with my students!" factor.
Never ascribe to, and all that.

Early reports of 'Oumuamua's odd characteristics led some to speculate that the object could be an alien spacecraft, sent from a distant civilization to examine our star system. So much for a "Rendevous with Rama" sequel

Given that astronomers have to admit they were "mistaken" 80% of the time, it's much more than reasonably safe to assume that Oumuamua is an alien spacecraft, sent from a distant civilization to examine our star system.

I never used Delphi professionally, but I pottered with it, and, at a time when VB was "the next big thing", it was a lot bigger and a lot better.
