Nearly 20 years ago I was on a meeting when one of my coworkers suddenly jumps back, takes off his shoe and throws it in the middle of the room, with a scared face. Everybody looks at the shoe and out of it comes crawling a spider. At this moment the boss walks into the room and notices the spider too and says: "woah, careful, that spider is extremely venomous". The other guy then looks even more terrified.

Boss takes him to the hospital and he took the antidote within like 15 minutes from being bitten, so no big deal at the end of the day, just the story of how he was wearing a shoe with a spider in it for over an hour before it bit him. We were all laughing and cracking jokes in the afternoon but the guy was just relieved about no longer feeling the pain from it.

I have no idea what spider it was, but this happened on a small town in the Atlantic forest region of southern Brazil. My guess would be that it was a Brazilian Wandering Spider (the spider famous for giving painful long lasting erections).

I'm gonna go on "no stupid question" and ask why my old hard drives aren't doubling in size.

Oh I trust my code, but I don't trust my coworkers not to break something on the very next commit.

I meant that the person on that image could be describing themselves as having a micro penis because of those things instead of actually having a micro penis. That's why I placed the word "turn" in quotes.

It might just have "turned" micro afterwards, with a combination of a bunch of stuff, like them being a grower, the person putting on weight and also losing libido.

I use Vivaldi as well but every time I update it I need to change one of it's internal JS files to remove one UI restriction that annoys me: I use two vertical tab bars, one for showing all the tab groups and another for showing the tabs inside the selected group. For some reason Vivaldi limits the width of the two sidebar (combined) to 330px, which is too small for my tastes.

If a tool were created that properly converted an UML diagram into a project without any need for code, all the programmers that lost their job to this tool would then be hired by the company that offered it, in order to give maintenance and support to everything the customers want in their programs.

It would be removing programmers from they payroll of some companies but they would still be working for them, just further down in the chain.

The same is true for AI. If AI could completely replace programmers in some area, it would need a lot of programmers itself to keep dealing with all the edge cases that would show up from being used everywhere that a programmer was needed before.

And it has multiple meanings. "you are sick" can mean that you're currently sick but can also mean that you're a sick person. Other languages usually differentiate the verb in those two cases

Maybe also for a free "weaker" wish for personal achievements, like completing one's dream hobby project.
