I'm here to post weird shit and say smart things, and I'm all out of smart things (any/all)

Remy's Law of Requirements Gathering: no matter what the actual requirements, what your users really want is for you to implement Excel.

@BillSorensen SQL Server had some issues, but they are resolved (and also overall performance should be better going forward)

This weekend only, the Peregrine Lander will be on display at the Moonshot Museum. Last chance to see it before it goes to the moon.

@Toadcialism Cohost's biggest weakness is that it's hard to *find* people. Tag searches are currently the best way to try and build an affinity group. The atmosphere reminds me of LiveJournal. But I really like the philosophy of the Anti-Social Software Club, so I hope it works out.

Ooh, https://t.co/SBOSTt1l0X lets you subscribe to Twitter feeds without being on Twitter. You can have the RSS from my cold dead hands.

Given how much debt financing went into purchasing Twitter, Melon Husk is 100% just looting this place for value and leaving investors holding the bag. He's going to intentionally run it into the ground while cashing out and making bank.

Republicans want you dead.

[Remy @RemyPorter]

Oh, look I have a reason to actually use Cohost now.

I'm skeptical about the future of canned monkeys in space, but even setting that aside, we haven't even shown that we can thrive in environments significantly less hostile than Mars. When we've solved those problems, then we can talk about long-term space habitation.

[Remy @RemyPorter]

There is interesting science to do on Mars. Colonization is an entirely different prospect, and it's *stupid*.

[Remy @RemyPorter]

And, it's worth noting that in both those events, an undersea city would likely be unscathed or at least well protected. But undersea cities aren't *cool*.

Fully Autonomous AVs are juuuuuuuust around the corner

Way back in the 90s, one of the church ladies running the teen Sunday School session wanted to warn us of the dangers of pop music and how insidious it could be. For example, she liked Nine Inch Nails at first, thinking the name was a reference to the nails which pinned Jesus…

[Remy @RemyPorter]

… to the cross. And lyrics like "bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve," were practically biblical warnings against sin! But then she "discovered" that "nine inch nails" was a reference to the size of their penises, and realized she'd been duped
