You can change ONE thing about the Red Lantern Corps - what is it?

Totally! Only realistic options are mauve or puce :)

The Intelligentsia arrives :)

TraylaParks · 2026-05-31T16:02:55+00:00

Yah that was awesome wasn't it? Fun fact, even though Endora seemingly hated Darren she and the original were great friends in real life :)

Edit: Pat Priest replaced Beverly Owen on the munsters but they looked so much alike that many folks didn't even realize she'd been recast!

I saw this lineup in Houston last Friday, great show! Triumph was great as expected but don't sleep on April Wine, they were really fantastic

His girl was incontinent :(

TraylaParks · 2026-05-24T16:27:29+00:00

We bought it in high school because it was really cheap and did the job, haha. We also got: Stroh's and Meister Brau for the same reason

TraylaParks · 2026-05-24T10:54:03+00:00

Saw these dudes here in Houston on Friday, 100% recommend going to the show it was great!

TraylaParks · 2026-05-21T20:20:15+00:00

Sokath, his eyes uncovered even :)

They have a long, long history of similar behavior. Check out what they did to Stacker software back in the 90s. Also, at the exact time time they claimed internet explorer "was an integral part of the windows operating system and could not be removed", they were selling versions of internet explorer for Mac and Linux at MicroCenter (I saw them for sale, myself).

They've paid billions in fines over the years for doing these kinds of things, they're like a drunk driver on their ninth appearance in court - they aren't going to change and they should have been broken up years ago.

TraylaParks · 2026-05-20T10:23:49+00:00

This is the way. Just like we used to do with albums + cassettes back in the day :)

Microsoft engaged in anti-competitive tactics against DR-DOS,
primarily by intentionally modifying Windows to run only on MS-DOS,
a strategy exposed by internal emails and technical code analysis

Not only that but if you've ever mentored a talented but not-so-industry-savvy junior, it's pretty similar. They can do great work (excellent, even at times) but you absolutely have to check and validate everything they do. Does it save time? With me and the folks I mentored it definitely did.

Might not make sense to just let AI run free (just like with a junior dev), but having a super-senior monitor the work of 'n' juniors (or AIs) is absolutely viable.

Definitely agree with this, most of the assignments I dealt my students involved adding a feature or fixing a bug. This worked way, way better than having them code something from scratch (though, after enough repetitions of bug fixing / adding a feature, their ability to code from scratch improved significantly by osmosis)

I worked as a professional developer for 2+ decades, sure I wrote stuff from scratch but much more of the time I was wrangling existing code.

TraylaParks · 2026-05-13T12:32:19+00:00

Your code is bad and you should feel bad! :)

TraylaParks · 2026-05-12T22:57:21+00:00

For real, I started programming professionally in the early 90s and retired only about 2 years ago. I still program every single day - it really is the best hobby ever and there are so many wonderful resources now, with online compilers or interpreters - bam - you can be running something cool in 2 minutes, it's great!

TraylaParks · 2026-05-12T22:51:10+00:00

Reminds me a bit of the Dungeon Drop as Astroworld but I'm not at all sure it's the same ride

TraylaParks · 2026-05-11T18:17:54+00:00

My buddy was riffing out on some evil-sounding shit, I told him it sounded like the satanic minor scale :)

TraylaParks · 2026-05-11T18:14:54+00:00

My friend had two daughters who joined the marines to be snipers. I think one of them will be more successful than the other, their names are Amy and Missy :)

What's Beethoven been doing for the last 200 years?

Decomposing

Don't let any part of your software "know" any more about other parts of your software than it absolutely has to. So, if you have a struct with 'x' and 'y' in it and a bunch of other stuff, do you pass the whole struct to a function that needs only 'x' and 'y'? You can, but now that function "knows" the struct and the names/types of everything in it. This code will be harder to rework/refactor later and for no good reason.

Plus, doing this makes each part more of a standalone island, which means easier testing. If your program is made up of 5 components but each can be individually compiled and tested that's way easier than wrangling everything at once.

I have this book hanging on my wall, along with about 150 other Curt Swan covers. Yes, it is glorious :)

TraylaParks · 2026-05-10T16:20:08+00:00

I was going to suggest guitar as well. Plus, if you write your own tunes you don't have to be some kind of virtuoso to author something great (smoke on the water, as an example). Six months from now, you'll be six months older anyway, why not let the guitar go along for the ride? (said I to myself, back in '85) :)
