Remember how much people HATED Win95? They still moved to it to escape DOS, but still. Loads of hate.

Ah, but I bet those monkeys produce more text than Shakespeare! At least within the last 6 months!

Seems a better prompt could solve that.

One’s dishwasher is not exposed to a harsh environment. A large percentage of code is exposed to an openly hostile environment.

If a dishwasher breaks, it can destroy a floor, a room, maybe the rooms below. If code breaks it can lead to the computer, then network, being compromised. Followed by escalating attacks that can bankrupt a business and lead to financial ruin. (This is possibly extreme, but cyber attacks have destroyed businesses. The downside risks of terrible code can be huge.)

It negatively impacts the children.

The steel of the case melted long ago… I guess the carpet is ruined.

Perhaps this could tax the huge data centers being built in the USA, which tend to get huge local tax incentives. But, if I had a data center I was trying to kit out, this would encourage me to setup shop any place other than the USA. (Latency matters, but not equally for everything.)

That is really interesting.

CEO salaries were huge and often complained about long prior to SOX.

In the USA a law was passed to make CEO pay public for public companies. It was intended to shame the companies into lowering the salaries. CEO salaries skyrocketed. One guess was that “Our CEO must be the best, so we must pay the most to get the best.”

This was long before SOX in 2002.

Didn’t Nancy Regan, wife of former USA President Ronald Regan, did this as well. (Ronald was apparently not mentally fit for the last few years as well.)

Is everyone better off? No, Homeless people in both years had a hard life.

Does any of this invalidate what you said? Nope. This is for other people.

I don’t know if this is real, but Willem Dafoe pulls it off. I hope this is real.

Air also does not make things wet when it leaks.

Is there is a list of employees of DOGE? I would like to write them letters.

Great to know. I don’t know if 106% of CPU is good or bad, but it is not what I had anticipated. Thank you!

While I have heard of people doing this a decade, I have never looked into it.

How was the install and setup process? How is the resource consumption of the server? At one point it seemed one had to supply their own quests. Are there open source quests available? Anything cool I didn’t ask about?

Might be time to focus on processing the loss of your previous hopes, dreams, relationships, and projects.
