One day a couple of weeks ago, a colleague and I were discussing a student. They said, I think I had that student in class a few semesters ago, but I can’t find the semester with his grade.”
My first thought was, “I would just use grep to…”. Then I remembered that my colleagues all use Excel for their grades.

it's a lecture from a computer security course, on cryptocurrency.
This is part of the story of how the internet changed my life for the better. I’m an early millennial and I was raised online. Through the internet, I found friends, support, and the human connection that I was lacking in real life. I also found valuable information that helped me help myself and sometimes help others. The key with information is always to effectively filter the good from the bad, which is a genuine life skill unto itself. My life today isn’t perfect, but it’s better than it’s ever been. My message to all the people out there who are struggling is to believe in yourself. If you help yourself and you let others help you, things are never hopeless.

Is it wrong for a server at a restaurant to be exuberantly friendly, or even a little flirtatious, in the hope of receiving a bigger tip? The December after I got my license, when my father had me drive around Orange County dropping off gift baskets at dozens of medical offices, not because he was overflowing with Christmas spirit, but in the hope that those offices would refer some patients to his practice in the year to come… was that wrong? Or, closer to home: what about the teacher who, while inwardly grinding her teeth in frustration at a student’s obtuseness, remains outwardly cheerful and encouraging? Doesn’t a little inauthenticity actually make for a better experience at a restaurant, or at the office, or at school? And what’s the alternative? Like, you can’t expect that at a workplace of any significant size everyone is going to like one another, but you’ve got serious dysfunction if colleagues are treating each other with hostility. Over the years, I’ve had many co‑workers I thought were genuinely awesome people, but I’ve also had some that I’ve kind of despised. I don’t think the people in that latter group knew how I really felt about them, since I have tried to be friendly or at least civil to everyone I’ve worked with. If they did know, they didn’t indicate it to me, which makes the same point via a different route.

The games; you’ll need a ZX Spectrum emulator.
it's how a lot of devs write code on it, though I don't think there is an official style guide.
