I was a programmer for 25 years and I never needed to use regex for anything. Also never once needed to write a sorting algorithm. My favorite sorting algorithm was the "SORT BY" clause in SQL.

There is no I in raper.

I just read her book. Holy shit are the Facebook execs vile people. Just to pull one turd from the pile, her boss there was Joel Kaplan, the dude who worked for George W. Bush and was part of the "Brooks Brothers Riot" in Florida in 2000. Wynn-Williams had had a baby that caused an embolism; she had something like 25 blood transfusions and was continuing to bleed for months afterwards. Kaplan would conduct one-on-one online meetings with her in his underwear and pressure her to describe the blood coming out of her vagina.

And that's just one example of the personal vileness of these people. They also manage possibly the most evil company in world history.

Doesn't even have to sell any of it. Just borrows against it as collateral and pays the loans off with new loans borrowed against the ever-increasing value.

It's like how the C-suite denizens all make vast millions because they sit on each others' boards and vote for each others' absurd compensation packages. Not because they have any particular abilities to speak of. It's a circlejerk in the finest sense of the term.

"We need term limits" lol. Term limits mean politicians need to line their pockets even faster. Fucking Rome was famous for this shit.

I had lunch at Booger King last year for the first time in a long time. The whopper and fries were actually surprisingly good, freshly cooked and tasty. But god damn did I feel like shit after eating it. I suppose it was all the salt. And it was $16, and that was without a drink even.

Don't forget to hydrate.

My joke comment was based on love! I actually started my professional career with VB (3 no less) and it was an excellent language for what it was good for, mainly building good UIs. Sure, it could be -- and was -- used to create unearthly horrors, but that's true of every language and platform.
