Dune is exactly what Lucas was copying when he wrote Star wars.

Microsoft has deprecated vbscript and it will not be shipped with future versions of windows.

Talk to a therapist. Not just you, everyone.

We all have trauma, talking about it can help you come to peace with it. Then it won’t be this cringe thing (or whatever negative emotion it invokes) in your thought pattern.

Ever since that article about VSCode collecting data yesterday, I don’t think I’m going to be learning anything new from Microsoft.

AutoHotKey AHK for short. Allows automation of nearly anything in Windows, and is better than most alternatives. The downside is it’s VBScript, which I believe is going he way of the dodo, and it has quite a few gotchyas.

However, on day one you can start assigning keys and combos to do common tasks.

Don’t like Caps Lock? Reassign it to open Chrome. Hate that you can’t lock the screen with your left hand? Make Win+S a command that locks the screen.

It’s free, has a huge community, and is truly amazing.

I’ve heard it’s as addictive as sugar. Be careful.

Yes, tape has very steep entry costs and requires maintenance and storage.

Most of the time it doesn’t make sense for a person to use it, but rather a corporate entity that needs to backup petabytes of data multiple times a day.

So tape doesn’t make sense for the typical person, unless you don’t have to buy the equipment and store i.

But, if you’re even a small company it becomes cheaper to use tape.

Companies don’t like deleting data. Ever. In fact some industries have laws that say they can’t delete data.

For example, the company I work in is small, but old. Our accounting department alone requires complex automated processes to do things each day that require data to be backed up.

From the beginning of time. I shit you not. There is no compression even.

And at the drop of a hat, the IT dept needs to be able to implement a backup from any time in the past. Although this almost never happens outside of the current pay cycle, they need to have the option available.

The best way they have to facilitate this (I hate it - like I said they’re old) is to simply write everything multiple times a night. And it’s everything since we started using digital storage. Yes, it’s overkill and makes no sense, but that’s the way it is for us. And that’s the way it is for a lot of companies.

So, when we’re talking about that amount of data, and tape having a storage cost advantage of 4:1 over disk, it more than pays for all the overhead for enterprise level backups.

Speaking of slasher films, does anybody know of any movies that have terrible everything except a really good plot?

Bro, trying to give padding in Ms word, when you know… YOU KNOOOOW… they can convert to html. It drives me up the wall.

And don’t get me started on excel.

Kill em all, I say.

Fuck yes dude. Such a good song.

That cod piece. What the literal fuck was going on with 80s kids movies?

The totally unnecessary tiddies in neverending story come to mind.

Once I coded a module to completion with no errors. I still wake up with night terrors that I missed something.

Thanks!

Do you have any videos? Can you record tracks and musical production type stuff?

Wow, that’s crazy, but I believe it. Studios are the worst.

Yes. Every single day, almost every person I see driving is looking at their cell phones or holding them at their mouth talking. I mean those odds should be astronomical, but it’s more common than not. Imagine adding another dimension of travel to that…

Or, ya know, blame poor Andy Dufresne.
