After decades of gleefully using signal handlers to handle all sorts of contingencies, systems programmers were solemnly informed that signal handler functions were very dangerous indeed, because a bunch of other stuff…
I could probably wax poetic about how it is perceived as a time of innocence but high culture, before "technology and science" ruined stuff, a time that is immortalized in literature such as Robin Hood, King Arthur, and…

BREAKING: BOOKIES BANNING BEST BETTORS? BETTERIDGE BOMBSHELL!
And in among the silence, we receive affirmation.
Except it isn’t money at all; only suckers call it ‘money’. It’s considered a security; a representation of value for sure. Move it around all you want until you’re blue in the face. But money still has to come out of…

My final stretch of employment lasted from May 2020-March 2024. My company went through mergers and acquisitions and 4 rounds of layoffs, and I managed to tenaciously hang in there (I was even "terminated" 4 times but…
The crazy thing about the "paperless office" of the 21st century is that authentication of documents has gone out the window, completely back to the stone age of forgeries. Didn't we recently see where a landlord…
