“lul not like you losers have any actual clearance”

With a magnetic needle and a steady hand ?

Same here! I stumbled onto Worm a few years ago and read it way too quickly. I taught myself some (very basic) editing skills, corrected a few typos and paid ~300 bucks to get the whole story printed out on paper so my wife would read it as well.

I would add that despite being a story with superpowers, it is very much a story about people, and not about powers. You progressively discover the rules of a world that make perfect sense in retrospect, the stakes scale up really well and I found the ending to be a culmination unlike anything I have read.

The future is now. The future is also ten, twenty and thirty years ago! According to GitHub’s Chief Executive Idiot himself:

the skills that will matter most include system design, AI fluency, delegation, and quality assurance

Except for “AI fluency”, this has been true for fucking ever. No serious work environment evaluates their developers on how quickly they can vomit code (or so I hope): the job is indeed about design, quality and working as a team in general.
Which means a tool that does not help with any of these is already not a revolution. When the tool actively makes quality worse and collaboration more complicated, I get the impression it is actually detrimental.

Mind you, I might be dead wrong. I am personally not impressed so far. It seems to be a better autocomplete, but I don’t want to throw a glass of water out the window every time I press tab.

but at least Abilene was insured against such an attack

Oh, well that’s great. I hope the people, whose identity, medical records, or whatever else was stolen will be compensated accordingly. Would be a shame if the money went into building a new, just as unsafe system.

Not that anyone gives a fuck. At this point the argument is “your data had probably already been stolen somewhere else”…

The Oxygen Not Included wiki made the jump a few years ago and the gg wiki seems to finally be better referenced

Think “free” as in “free audiobooks”, not “free speech”
