Programming is the only profession where you can literally create a world… and then get angry at it for doing exactly what you told it to do. Debugging is basically apologising to your past self in real time.

A good friend of mine's wife just published her debut novel! If you are looking for a "slow-burn psychological thriller that builds into fast-paced tension" check it out! Excellent reviews! Congrats to A.K. Franco!

Trump and Bondi knew that no judge was going to allow the grand-jury transcripts in Epstein's case to be unsealed on the grounds of some vague "public interest" claim. They just hoped that making the request for them to be unsealed would take public pressure off them and let them

This genius continues to imply there are 200-year-old vampires collecting social security and obtaining loans. Quite possible we're living through the dumbest possible version of the year 2025. 😂 I'll go through a few facts, for anybody who doesn't believe in vampires. /1

JRuby 9.4 takes 17m33s to run the CRuby 3.1 test suite with 4649 tests containing 1850250 assertions. JRuby 10 takes 10m10s to run the CRuby 3.4 test suite with 4917 tests containing 1893276 assertions. Some of that is better startup, some is better performance. 👍
