Trump is no longer interesting. He was only interesting as President because it answered the question "what if the most unqualified person on Earth became president?"
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.

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.
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.
I just read a comment that most programmers don't have access to the C Standard. The last working draft of C23 is right here =>

The C Standards Committee outside the eXplora building at the historic site of the old Hôpital Civil where we successfully completed the 69th meeting of WG14. In addition to other work, we completed C23, TS 18661-4, and TS 18661-5 this week.

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.

The worst thing that can happen to you politically is that you get what you want, particularly on a 70/30 issue like abortion rights. This will cause a blue tsunami for sure in 2022.
The C Standard Charter has been revised. The new charter has been officially approved by the committee and is available at
This is a guiding document with an overview of the mission and expectations of the C committee.

Interesting. I don't really see any reason why Ukrainian forces shouldn't maneuver behind these or other Russian forces and fight on Russian soil.
Dr. Tom Plum, the creator of the Plum Hall C/C++ test suites, passed away in the early morning Feb 29 of natural causes. Tom has been involved with the standards committee from the first meetings. He has also made many contributions to both C and C++.

I've said this before, but if you are not fired by Donald Trump you should never be allowed to hold public office again. People should be begging him to fire them about now.

After being asked about Critical Race Theory, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley delivers an answer every American should watch.
Software developers have 2 queues: one for high priority tasks and one for low priority tasks. The low priority tasks are started when the high priority tasks are completed, meaning never.
Reflecting a bit on my 40+ year career and pretty much every job I've left was because my boss was a total asshole. I wonder why more companies don't listen when you ask for a new manager?

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.
