[Dave W Plummer @davepl1968]

If lines of code were a meaningful measure of software quality, then the ideal program would be an infinitely long, labyrinthine monument to redundancy in which every variable enjoyed its own paragraph, every conditional branch was lovingly expanded into a dissertation, every reusable function was duplicated dozens of times for the sake of numerical abundance, and every simple idea was buried beneath geological strata of boilerplate, thereby rewarding verbosity over clarity, complexity over elegance, maintenance burden over maintainability, bug surface area over correctness, and programmer ego over engineering discipline, while simultaneously ignoring the inconvenient reality that the history of computing is littered with brilliant achievements—from hand-crafted assembly routines to elegant algorithms and compact operating system components—that derived much of their value precisely from accomplishing more with less, making lines of code roughly as sensible a productivity metric as measuring the quality of a novel by its weight, the efficiency of an engine by the amount of metal in the block, or the intelligence of an argument by the number of words it takes to arrive at the point.

Brevity is wit.

I managed to get RetroPad, my full-feature-parity version of Notepad from XP, down to 2686 bytes of tight x86 assembly.

I checked in the exe to make life simpler, so you don't need masm on hand!

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

I interview dozens/hundreds of new grads, nearly every day of the year. These are people with a well-formatted resume and a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from well-regarded US universities and a GPA above 3.6. The majority cannot engineer, cannot function independently, cannot answer basic technical questions. We have watered down standards and inflated grades to the point that a bright, enthusiastic student spending four years in school sends almost no signal at all.

What does? Hard evidence of actually building stuff. There is no substitute for actually doing the thing.

[Dave W Plummer @davepl1968]

Dude, I retired like ten years ago. Since then, I've written and published two books, a metric crapton of software, learned 3D graphics and embedded systems, built a YouTube channel with a million subscribers, restored two cars, sent three kids off to college, learned to drive a race car, and now I'm a public speaker for fun.

I don't have a garden. No chill needed.

Zero out taxes for the bottom half of earners. A nurse in Queens shouldn’t be sending money to Washington. Washington should be sending her an apology.

Me and my son have been sneaking out in the middle of the night in our Ewok and Chewbacca costumes just to mess with our neighbor's trail cams.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

[Shay Boloor @StockSavvyShay]

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.

He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”
