It's hyper-meta-hysterical to watch Tucker Carlson chest-thump the overturning of Roe v. Wade because "it was always a joke" and then whine about "my body, my choice" over (Covid) vaccines.

Rust, C++ or JavaScript...

Are you sure "suicide is not an option"??

We already HAVE superconductor materials at liquid nitrogen temperatures.

The only temp mentioned in TFA is "below 1 kelvin". Shit, isn't copper superconducting below 1K?

When they say fast JavaScript, they really mean half-fast.

What did we tell you about feeding the trolls?

This story reminds me, and, damn it, I can't find a good link at the moment, there was a Brit golf club rule about:

"No dogs allowed - a dog, accompanied by a blind person, shall be defined to be a cat."

Can you rephrase that in English? I am interest.

ROFLcoptering

By all means, level up

"...for the collection of data from mobile devices for the prevention and investigation of crimes and terrorism Wink Wink, in compliance Nudge Nudge with privacy and national security laws."

The linked FA only displays a "This video is private" tag. So, if you're a nerd. you know how hack around that and Slashdot the video server.

"Oy vey, this is killing me..."

Sheeesh. You lazy Americans with your crazy-assed units of measure. Here, do the maths yourself.

I remember, maybe 35-to-40-ish years ago, applying (i.e.: filling out a job application for an hourly) techy (wire-wrap & oscilloscope) position, that i agreed, in perpetuity (i.e.: from this instant and forever forward), whether they hired me or not, that every Good Idea (TM) I might, maybe, perhaps, sometime past-or-present, whether in their employ or not, in the galactic scope (whether real or imagined) of whatever The Company (TM) thought it might, one-day, perhaps kinda, sorta, be involved, whether involving electrons, photons or any undiscovered, as yet, fundamental particles, hereby and for all time, assigned any and all Patentable Rights to The Company (TM). I seem to remember circling that paragraph in the instructions several times and writing "FUCK YOU!!!" next to it, before solemnly returning it to the humorless HR twat collecting them.

Don't mock. That's how the Infinite improbability Drive was/willbe invented.

Until I read TFS, I couldn't have even CONCEIVED of such an innovation. Upon reading the summary, my eyes were opened, and suddenly, electrictly, religiously, My Eyes Were Opened (TM) to the amazing (future) potentialities of desktop computing. Not since the Diesel Powered typewriter have I ever been so flabbergasted by modern innovation. Or maybe the TRS-40.
