Well that's one way to make sure the rat is dead.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?

Neuroscientists know a lot about how our brains learn new things, but not much about how they choose what to focus on while they learn. Now, researchers have traced that ability to an unexpected place. Music lyrics and trivia? Check. Important stuff? Nah

I definitely found that interesting. I didn't know the AA was tied up in mystical hogwash, and that this had been allowed to influence mainstream treatment of alcoholics in the US. They have my sympathy.

Well, if you're allowed to teach by shining bright lights in students' faces and administering electric shocks, I might even consider going into teaching,

I wonder if this would work for those asking for their homework to be done in QA?

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Survey results released by DigitalOcean show that a majority of developers now invest in open source, while their employers fail to do so. "So open up your heart and let this fool rush in"

Despite the hype and predictions of dominance for low-code development environments, the latest Evans Data Global Development Survey shows little appetite for low code or no code development environments among software developers. I'm gonna go with, "There's a reason for that, Evans"
