I've always been fond of the red blue gradient one which I imagine to be an Arizona desert.

Before legal online gambling there was illegal online poker.

How much did legalization contribute to making it mainstream-casual? What about the ads?

I think it's time for a modern Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act which banned cigarette commercials on TV and radio starting January 1, 1971.

It's my opinion that gambling be reserved for Atlantic City (or your town). But legality aside, we ought to at least stop advertising it.

Sometimes on a hot day for the short period the kid's napping I find myself at Home Depot searching for this or that tired from the work week under pressure as the clock ticks down having no idea what I'm doing and I make it to checkout tired no exhausted and I see the ice cold cooler the Coke its last moments before it's soaked with condensation open the door scan it rush to the car twist it open it screams wow sometimes there's nothing like an ice cold Coke.

Office job workers of many types have asked if I fear the impact 'AI' will have on my dev job. For as long as they remain employed I'm not worried at all.

In fact, during the push for workers of other jobs to get closer to dev, through vibe coding for example, it may be realized that there are workers who aren't good at their jobs and it's dev that's been filling in the gaps all along.

All for this if the train cruises at 600mph.

Windows 11 decides to update and says, "You're x% there."

Later, the computer jumps from 30% to nothing. "You might want to plug in your PC."

Then the next morning Copilot appears.

Too many cooks in the kitchen it seems.

I recently bailed on SNW after realizing the cringe factor and unprofessionalism was to stay. Started watching TOS. Hope this isn't really the end of Star Trek and just this misguided period of it.

OK, for real, how are you working through inexperienced developers cranking out tons of stuff that makes no sense? Not talking about verbose code, but concise bits of code that they think they understand but don't.

Previously, copying and pasting from SO got you so far, but at a point, increased understanding was required to string things together. No longer.

I'm all for mentoring but it's always short notice and starting from some crazy thing.

Bees seem like they know what's going on. What about a cell, though? A virus?

Well, unless intellect is immaterial.

Maybe that's when they run all those crazy legacy jobs, but they politely shut the site down for it.

One process redesign that may be considered a moat for AI is employees intending to communicate through a sentence or two first passing the text into their AI of choice and asking it to elaborate. On the other end the colleague uses their AI to summarize the email into a bullet point or two. It's challenging for those that don't use AI to keep up.

Not much of a difference between replacing a gun emoji with a water gun and find replacing "gun" with "water gun"

Until then, display: table kept everyone calm.
