This. I can just picture the grinch smile forming on someone's face when they realized they could use this rule to stop people from helping the poor. Unimaginable cruelty.

Weaponizing regulations meant to prevent discrimination against SNAP recipients so that well-meaning business owners can't *help* them. Absolutely GHOULISH.
Also apparently there's a budget to send this out, during the shutdown? Maybe whoever wrote this up just does it for the love of the game.

I got bit recently by a spreadsheet library that returned cell values as "any". And the idiot* who wrote the surrounding code assumed the values would always be string or null, without a runtime check. Worked until someone entered a name as "5", and it returned a number.

Call me a big government liberal, but I don't think you should be allowed to sell a car with "Mad Max Mode".

Or maybe the players could learn some manners and just hand the ball to each other. Throwing it everywhere causes a real ruckus.

The first thing I thought of was how in WW2 Germany increased their max draft age to 60.
That wasn't exactly because of the wisdom and life experience of the older generations...

This is such a weird example because you can just text "running 15 mins late".

My company just upgraded to M365 and grammar check has been a disaster. Some of its suggestions are like you say, but a lot are just absolute nonsense. "Fixes" that would make the sentence not make any sense.

Big tech? Well, I can say that big tech loves saving money so the lower power consumption ratio for certain types of workloads on arm appeals to big tech.
Even if the highest performing arm chips don't match the highest performing x86 chips, that doesn't always matter for highly parallel workloads.

I expect that's due to custom x86 assembly deep in game engines to eek out max performance, or something simpler like proprietary libraries they never had the source code for. I've never worked in the game industry so I'm not familiar with the problems they have to solve.

Oh yeah, gaming for sure is gonna take a while. Apple just announced that they're gonna support Rosetta 2 (their x86->arm translation layer) indefinitely for games, even after discontinuing it for other types of software. Says a lot that game studios supporting macOS can't even support arm.

LAMP & MERN are pretty easy to port to ARM - the big Linux distros have already done the hard part.
I used to manage an Ansible playbook for a LAMP shop and I don't think I would've had to change anything at all for it to support arm64 hosts.

Very little software needs to be changed to run on ARM, the compiler handles the differences for you. And for most dependencies the distro / package manager handles it.
For most software engineers there's little if any work required.

As someone who loses my keys and wallet all the freaking time, seriously consider getting a Bluetooth tracker like Tile or AirTag.
There aren't many things that I've spent less than $50 on that have improved my life as much as that has.

That definitely checks out. It's like when you're looking for something you don't use very often.
Unless you specifically remember where it is, you check the places where you tend to keep "that sort of thing".
