Take the "Moral Turing Test" yourself to see whether you'd trust "artificial" moral advice. "You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you."
Which isn't really much, is it?

I think it's a conspiracy to be declaring that all code should be stateless. What's up with that?
I always knew I was a rainbow farting unicorn. I just have to keep working on it to sell them on the job title.

I'd say quite to the contrary. Code should go from one consistent state to another consistent state in atomic steps of (conceptually) zero time. Event driven state machines are easy to comprehend, reliable, efficient. Error/exception handling is much easier than in other programming models.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

After reaching its all-time high of 28.16% in February 2024, Windows 11 plummeted below the 26% mark. How's at "encouraging" people to upgrade working out for you?

We made changes nobody asked for, restricted the hardware it runs on, released broken updates and added advertisements. Why doesn't anyone like us?

Microsoft was ‘very worried’ it was years behind Google’s AI efforts. Fear is the Microsoft-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings investment in shady companies.
meh. That was better as an idea, in practice it ended up pretty lame.

LinkedIn launched its first three games. They are available to access on the web for PC and mobile users. Because nothing says 'job search' like 'word games'
Although now that I've put it that way, 'word games' does sound like some interviews I've had.

OpenSilver 2.2 debuted today with a focus on helping developers revive Visual Studio LightSwitch legacy applications. I wonder if there are five people on CP that have even heard of Visual Studio LightSwitch? Count off!
I remember asking the product manager (aka marketing) for that product, "So, you re-invented Access?". He didn't like me much after that.

Microsoft has confirmed that the April 2024 Windows security updates break VPN connections across client and server platforms. "Microsoft is ‘putting security above all else,’ vows CEO Satya Nadella"

145,152-core Cheyenne supercomputer was 20th most powerful in the world in 2016. It might not be able to play DOOM, but you can probably create doom with it
Good luck getting a graphics card for it though.
"With a peak performance of 5,340 teraflops (4,788 Linpack teraflops), this SGI ICE XA system was capable of performing over 3 billion calculations per second for every watt of energy consumed, making it three times more energy-efficient than its predecessor, Yellowstone. The system featured 4,032 dual-socket nodes, each with two 18-core, 2.3-GHz Intel Xeon E5-2697v4 processors, for a total of 145,152 CPU cores. It also included 313 terabytes of memory and 40 petabytes of storage. The entire system in operation consumed about 1.7 megawatts of power." <-- wuff!
