Maybe someone new could create a new community modeled along these lines where experts could exchange knowledge, or more junior people something else, for answers.

Yeah, this photo from Daguerre is the first one known to feature a human subject, not the first photo.

Source code has a structure, and some parts are more important to the reader than others. Good syntax highlighting makes the important parts easier to see; bad highlighting gives all parts the same emphasis. Notionally you could use font weight to convey this in a black and white medium, but color makes this easier.

I was wondering where David Zaslav landed in all this. Can’t say I’m really surprised by the answer: https://www.cartoonbrew.com/executives/david-zaslav-606-mill...

My guess is that Asha Sharma is re-enacting the plot of the film The Producers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Producers_(1967_film)

We should start naming them like hurricanes: NIST creates a list of alphabetical names and assigns any CVE >= 9.0 with a name. Vulnerability Alex (CVE 9.4)

If 12 month enterprise sales cycles sounds like easy money then sure.

lol, I pre-paid for an annual subscription when Disney+ first launched: Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar together was a compelling offering. I canceled after year 2, and rejoined when I got an offer to pay $5/month for the ads tier this past November. I'll be canceling in a couple weeks when that deal expires.
My four year old hates ads ("too many commercials," he says), and with the continuous price increases and his...mercurial media diet, it's actually easier and cheaper for me to just buy DVDs or Blu Ray discs.
So, farewell Disney+. I'm perfectly happy to go back to discs—they're actually a better user experience than anything you choose to offer.

That can also be excellent, but it's much harder for some people to digest! For instance, I'm not a fan of how I feel from eating raw cruciferous vegetables even though they are delicious.
Also, this feels like a great time to reshare that Brussel sprouts really were disgusting 30 years ago, and they are so much better today. https://www.allrecipes.com/science-why-brussels-sprouts-tast...

Meetings are the broccoli of work – widely disliked, but probably good for us anyway.
If you don't like broccoli, it just means you're preparing it wrong. Don't steam it, boil it, or microwave it. Here's how I prep frozen broccoli.
Preheat your oven to 400ºF/200ºC.
As soon as the oven has preheated, put the frozen broccoli into a mixing bowl and drizzle 2tbsp / 30ml of olive oil over it, and toss with your fingers.
Spread the broccoli over a baking sheet, sprinkle a small amount of salt over it, and bake for 20 minutes.

Pretty minimal. For reference, I'm on a Claude Max 20x plan ($200/month). I expected to see about 15% usage of the plan overnight on the task but it was more like 5-6%? Well worth $2.50 of my monthly plan to get that speedup.
