David JONESI'm re-reading parts of the ZX81 BASIC Programming Manual (because of side-side-sidequest), which is the book that came with the ZX81. I had this when i was 10, and i'm time and time again gobsmacked by the amount of educational effort that went into this pack-in provided with the cheapest micro of all time. It's more or less how i learnt trigonometry, but i wanna talk about Chapter 15, which is about software engineering lifecycle management, or, as they put it, "Making your programs work".
It comes with a flowchart (for humans): two absolutely key parts of this chart, still overlooked in many orgs: 1 "Write program with as few bugs as possible"; 2 "fix them introducing as few new ones as possible".
_As few bugs as possible_
Rafael Garcia-SuarezI wonder what Trump believes will happen to the 80k+ US military personnel stationed in Europe if he unilaterally voids treaties by attacking the EU. Probably all imprisoned as POWs while all the US bases (and the power they project) are shut down? Masterful gambit here

Cut people some slack – you don't know what shit is going on in their life.
Remembering the Paradox of Intolerance. It's fine not for the slack-cutting to not apply to people who are perennial non-slack-givers.
Be nice to yourself and let the people you care about know that.

Fesshole 🧻In a job interview they asked what I was most proud of at the job before last. I told them that my evidence helped the jury convict the FD and the judge sent him down for a few years. On the way back I realised that this was not the answer they were looking for.
