  1. >"In Perl 6, we decided it would be better to fix the language than fix the user." — Larry Wall

    As history has shown, this didn't work out well for anyone

  2. "..and how we can help you engage further with our automated ball kicking machine we used on you without consent.."
  3. > It’s everything broken about the fucking internet right now.

    This sums it up. The attitude and behaviours deemed by this man as acceptable are a highly problematic, and a contributor the cesspool that the internet has become.

  4. Commentary on the situation from Louis Rossmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIyaDD8onIE
  5. Please let this be true. Hilarious
  6. > Han shot first.

    More specifically, Greedo didn't shoot at all. Not until it was messed with many years later.

  7. > Is anyone using it?

    Not really

  8. >It's always funny (both haha and sad) to me which sacrificial lamb the parties convince to push something like this forward.

    Driving up to their home with a dump truck full of money tends to get the desired results.

  9. > He leaves out a lot of relevant information anytime the CIA is involved in a story.

    What do you feel has not been covered sufficiently in the MKULTRA podcast series?

  10. I don't seem to recall that being the case, the CIA are discussed multiple times.
  11. The 'behind the bastards' podcast did a series of episodes on this that are worth checking out.
  12. Previously Valve asked Portal 64 developer to take the project down:

  13. >One time putty took down our prod rac cluster on Xmas eve...

    A literal PEBCAK issue, not a putty issue.

  14. >amazon give nectar points as a reward They do not, and are not listed as a partner on nectar
  15. TF2 receives regular patches, fixing bugs. The sniper bot problem badly needs a proper fix.
  16. Finally, confirmation of HL 3!
  17. > That's the situation TCS contractors are in. Now, laws are laws, and we have to follow them. There is always plenty of money to do things by the book. I thought this was a gov. project, not insurance, but the principle is the same. Transamerica is getting worse service because the contractor that they prefer wanted to look at documentation for a system they payed for. This is why enterprise IT is a legally mandated mess.

    This is not the case. Regardless you state that there is a single choice to be made, getting something that works OR having it done legally.

  18. >Texas would rather punish TCS than have stuff work

    Why would it have to be one, and not both?

  19. >It's a bottom to top evil company.

    Worked there for a while, can confirm

  20. Worked for TCS, such 'courses' were mandatory, however as with all of their training cheating was rife.
  21. Poor performance, terrible UX, welcome to modern software.
  22. There's precious little code to read....
