So sorry to hear that. I'm providing caretaking for my mother, who has GBM now, and we've been lucky to get to month 15 now. It's such a difficult disease to grapple with.

This site is not satire. You can actually pay on Stripe and it will create code for you. The site is written with satirical language but it is a real service.

Yes but all of the commenters think this is a fake site created ironically. It isn't. It is a company doing the evil thing it is mocking.

The headline here is manipulative.

> The $212 million contract includes support services from Hitachi for "20 to 25 years,"

The $212m is a 20-year service contract for the new technology and the costs of installing it, not a one-time cost to remove the old floppy disks.

The video game market doesn’t seem like a good market for raising venture capital - there is a ton of competition, and it seems that the folks who can raise money have a track record of previously successful games. With the 5% interest rate, you’ll very likely need to bootstrap your first game to break into the industry and then you could raise for a future game.

The Chrome Inspector Color Picker does not return the right hex code! You have to go into the properties to get the right value.

When you break the captcha rule, you can re-select the captcha. You want to keep re-rolling till you find a low number combo. There are a few rules where you can re-roll to get a better random number. In general, it gets harder and harder to stay under the 25 limit as you progress.

How do you solve the time issue - does it lock in the time at the moment you complete that rule, or do you need to keep updating the password with the new time? Also, is the time UTC or time zoned?
