It’s still early, but this is huge. Pancreatic cancer is almost always a death sentence, and a quick one.

My sister's router angrily emailed her that my laptop was vulnerable because I had port 22 open. Of course, that went to an extremely well secured ssh server, but it just cared about the port. Definitely there are servers with terrible security but I'm not sure the AI can actually differentiate.

Republicans' raiding the U.S. Treasury again, as I type.

At this point the only reason to call it the Labour Party is it lasts too long, hurts like hell, and people keep popping in and out to check on your genitals.

I feel like a good metric for code quality is whether they have a "free as in speech vs free as in beer" explanation on their documentation.

There's no absolute reason this must be, but it's a strong trend imo.

You ever notice how in the Superman the Movie poster, he's got one fist out, and on Superman II he's got two fists out? Well BUCKLE UP, I gave him three and four fists for Superman III and Superman IV, respectively. Hilarious!
