The stock market being up 1400 points, while Tesla and SpaceX bleed billions of dollars is icing on the midterm cake.

The first election a Pope has ever voted in and Republicans get wiped out. It's truly a sign from god.

The evolution of gaming: Every once in a while, especially in the 80s and 90s, a game would be released that truly innovated a genre. It would introduce something that no other game had ever done before. That's exactly what Descent did in 1995. It was the very first game with six degrees of freedom movement within a 3D graphics environment, allowing flight in any direction: forward/backward, left/right (slide/strafe), up/down, and full 360° rotation, creating a rather disorienting experience at first. It was easy to get lost and maybe even feel a bit of motion sickness. Descent blew everyone's mind in 1995, and rightfully so. A whole new dimension of gaming was born, a leap in the evolution of how such kind of games could be played going forward. A special mention also goes to the impeccable soundtrack, which perfectly fit the vibe when you were gliding through the tunnels and blasting your way through enemy ships.

RT @jarjoh: Yeah, the world I grew up in would have celebrated this. It embraced diversity (at times clumsily) then 9/11 made us fear the w…

Much has been made of the Patriots’ mysterious “Pink Stripes.” How about yellow ones? I went through more than a decade of TV broadcasts and uncovered a diabolically clever piece of Patriots gamesmanship. When opposing kickers lined up at Gillette Stadium, the video board displayed a reverse view of the kick, placing a second, offset set of yellow uprights directly behind the real ones. In windy conditions, even the orange streamers on the video board appeared to point in the opposite direction from those atop the physical uprights, making the illusion even more disorienting. I found dozens of examples. In the same games, I reviewed 52 Patriots field goal attempts. The illusion appeared on Patriots kicks exactly zero times. We actually tried copying the idea when I was in Philadelphia, but the location of the video boards at Lincoln Financial Field made it nearly useless. It is the perfect encapsulation of the Patriots dynasty. No detail was too small, and no possible edge was left unexplored. We talked about this tactic and more on tonight’s episode of the Paganetti and Underhill show, out now on Youtube

HR decided the IT department needed to foster the next generation of tech talent. They assigned me a summer intern from an Ivy League university. He showed up on a Monday morning wearing a slim-fit suit and carrying a mechanical keyboard. He was overflowing with aggressive, unearned optimism. He sat at my desk and immediately started talking about machine learning, containerized deployment, and agile methodologies. He wanted to audit our codebase and optimize our redundant pathways. He was a catastrophic threat to my entire way of life. If he started digging into our infrastructure, he'd discover that my daily workload is entirely handled by 3 cron jobs on a hidden virtual machine. I had to neutralize his ambition immediately. I told him that before he could touch the cloud, he had to understand the dirt. I took him down to the sub-basement where we store 15 years of abandoned networking equipment. I pointed to a massive cardboard box filled with 2,000 tangled Ethernet cables, power cords, and obsolete serial adapters. I told him we were implementing a highly classified physical redundancy architecture. I instructed him to untangle every single cable, categorize them by length and gauge, and coil them using a specific over-under military technique. He asked how this related to software engineering. I stared at him with cold, dead eyes and asked if he thought the internet was made of magic. I told him that true engineering is understanding the tactile friction of copper wiring. I said if he couldn't master the physical layer, he'd never comprehend the virtual layer. He swallowed, nodded respectfully, and walked into the basement. I left him down there for 4 days. I occasionally sent him Slack messages asking for status updates on the analog routing matrix. On Friday, he emerged covered in dust, holding 1 perfectly coiled cable. His suit was ruined and his eyes were completely hollow. The optimism was entirely gone. He looked like a man who'd seen the fundamental futility of the universe. I took the cable from him, inspected it for a moment, and then threw it in the trash can. I told him the copper was degraded by ambient humidity and was completely useless. He didn't argue. He just stared at the trash can. I told him he was finally ready for real IT work. I brought him to my office, gave him a switch, and told him to play Mario Kart for the rest of the afternoon. I explained that our primary directive is maintaining systemic equilibrium. Action creates friction, friction creates heat, and heat destroys servers. Therefore, doing nothing is the highest form of technical optimization. He sat on the couch and played Mario Kart with me for the next 6 weeks. At the end of the summer, he wrote a glowing review of his internship, praising my visionary approach to workload balancing. He's going to make a terrible engineer someday. But he's going to make a fantastic IT Director.
