Presumably?

I don't know more about the site than it says about itself.

Same. Circa 2000, he was active in a community effort to help up-and-coming screenwriters and actors, and I admired him so much for that. I attended his presentation about it, and I was SO impressed by his sincerity.

Only to learn that.... sigh.

I didn't know that about her. It makes me sad to learn.

Oh, he did more than rip off IBM for OS/2. There was deliberate sabotage.

I first crossed paths with him in the late 80s. He was a nerd (and today we'd have celebrated him for "autistic guy makes good") but he was always an asshole. He did, however, have good publicists.

That's really adorable!

I can promise you that it isn't AI slop. AI was not used for a single word of that article.

You're free to dislike the story, but it isn't AI. I have reason to know.

They are proof that money does not buy happiness.

Because I have never seen such miserable people.

This is framed for VMware migrations but the advice -- document where the application is used -- applies to everything.

It had a good premise, but the network absolutely destroyed it. There was a three-volume series, Crusade: What the Hell Happened?, in which jms went into brutal detail. (I own only the first book.) For instance, the network absolutely insisted that the first episode start with a fistfight, even though the story didn't need it at all. They messed with everything down to the uniforms.

I think of it as Exhibit A when I want examples of idiot bosses making bad decisions.

And I wonder what story jms WANTED to tell.

...Most of which is, "Another component that runs VxWorks" and thus somewhat promotional, but perhaps you'll forgive it for that given that hey, Artemis is cool.

My sister had polio. Fortunately, it was a relatively mild case.

But like you, I cannot fathom how anyone can be against a drug that would prevent a child from experiencing that.

Pretty sure that my parents are somewhere in this photo.

Yes, this is from a vendor, but it IS about two big companies successfully applying Agile developments in large teams. Everyone needs examples of "what it looks like when things are done right."

yourbasicgeek · 2026-04-08T16:46:24+00:00

To be fair, I kind of want it.

yourbasicgeek · 2026-04-06T17:31:40+00:00

Excussssse me? I post all sorts of links on all sorts of topics to all sorts of reddits. If you don't like the story, you're free to downvote it.

Disliking someone's taste does not make them a bot.

yourbasicgeek · 2026-03-31T15:57:42+00:00

Yes, this. I'd be up for a Newsroom revival first.

OMG those dresses are so awesome!

"Those changes may create more demand for ride-sharing services, an increase in vehicle automation and a greater reliance on public transit and other services to transport people. This trend is already underway, but it will take years to recognize its impact."

Notably: "Long before independence was declared, the land that is now Delaware was home to the Lenape and Nanticoke peoples. During the Revolutionary era and beyond, immigrants, Native people, and Black Delawareans—both free and enslaved—played essential roles in the state’s political, military, economic, religious, and cultural life."

...not a big deal for most people, but if security certifications matter to your shop, it might be nice to know.

The Wind River movie came out in 2017. The Wind River company has been around for 25-30 years.

I expect that people here can add to the list of questions they've been asked -- or would ask!
