  • Or praying the space ship flies true.

    I remember there was an Easter egg but I can’t recall if it was related to no disc and then loading an audio cd or something else. You’d have a small space ship flying around and towards and away from the screen almost like a screensaver.

    It’s been almost 30 years though so I’m a little hazy on the details.

    It’s bugging me that I can’t find it online anywhere.




  • So… public shopping post Covid? So many people act “feral” now.

    I wish this amalgamation of various shoppers was pure fiction and not almost the norm now.

    What do you mean my snarling uncontrolled dog can’t urinate in the cart at the checkout line? And where’s that cashier? Why do I have to wait? Don’t they know I have to get back before Olsteen’s special service comes on? These kids are so lazy… why doesn’t anybody do their jobs anymore!?!
















  • It’s not a waste of time… it’s a waste of space. But it does allow you to “enforce” some schema. Which, very few people use that way and so, as a data store using JSON works better.

    Or… we could go back to old school records where you store structs with certain defined lengths in a file.

    You know what? XML isn’t looking so bad now.

    If you want to break the AI ask instead what regex you should use to parse HTML.
