The most repetitive cycle in computing is "let's decentralize" then "let's centralize" and then "let's decentralize again. The latest instantions of this are called "cloud" and "edge" computing.
It's fun to literally be an old man yelling at clouds.

Cool stuff that got into C23 this week:
- nullptr
- typed enumerations
- improved normal enumerations
- Comma omission and comma deletion
- constexpr
- auto
- TIME_MONOTONIC
- bit-precise bit-fields
- relaxed requirements for variadic parameter lists
- embed

One correction, Trump doesn't joke about anything. He has no discernible sense of humor. Journalists use the word "joke" because they are uncomfortable with how jarring his comments are, but it is a disservice to pretend that he is kidding.

In case it is not obvious, support for Russia from weak-kneed Republicans will keep this war going long, causing more deaths and increased costs.
Russian state TV interprets the cracks in GOP support for Ukraine as "good signals from Washington." Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for Russia's Foreign Affairs Ministry, exposes the genocidal nature of Russia's invasion by comparing Zelensky to a roach.

If I don't look carefully at the user name, I can't always tell if these are from you or Trump. I don't know if that means this is great parody, or if parody is unnecessary when the joke is the original material. Clearly, the gap has narrowed.

My entry-level salary at IBM was more than my dad was making at the time. After about a year, I stopped telling him about any raises or promotions. Eventually, when I started my own company, he got a kick out of telling people I was unemployed.

Use a personal email address for everything that you might want to outlast your relationship with your current employer. Work accounts are only for transient relationships that will disappear when you separate from an organization.
