When she didn’t sign the NDA, the payments were reportedly slashed, and eventually cut again to $20,000 a month.

Oh no! Only 20,000 dollahs!? That poor woman must now be living on water and bread for the rest of her life!

Listen, I get it - Musk is using his money to manipulate people and he's an asshole for that, but the cry story is just bleh.

It already passed on 13 times...

There's a supposed 4chan tripcode that calls itself "The Antichrist" !SATANZ0Gpo. I read a ton of their comments, and I'm convinced it's actually Elon Reeve Musk. Is he just schizo-posting? Maybe. Maybe it's an imposter. Maybe...

they were older then me at the time.

The an hero kid was 14 at the time (for context).

4chan was a place you could see child porn on any given day

Literally untrue. Prove me wrong.

no .gov, 3 edu. most were just gmail. some were using their own domain, which is a self-tell (like the .edu).

I've seen the list on the party site. There were 3 .edu out of 219 emails total. 152 gmail, 17 hotmail/outlook, 18 protonmail, 2 4chan, and the rest were custom.

No .gov.

Put a few strands between your fingers and pull. If it squeaks, it's been washed.

OP responded that he microwaved bowl and plate, and that some plastic melted and fused them both.

@Theo@lemmy.world - can we get an after picture?

"Have you read your SICP today?" still rings in my head, occasionally.

Refactoring

Once you know how to write code (in any language) it's important to learn how to rewrite it (into something better)

Test-Driven Development with Python

Because manually stepping through your code is a PITA, so it's better to put that process into code that you can save and re-run without thinking about it.

Head first java

Any of the Head First series are great introduction books. Head First Design Patterns is great to learn programming patterns that you can typically re-use in any language :D

Fundamentals of Software Architecture

Haven't read this one, but learning about architecture is important so you can keep your UI, logic and data layers separate, so when you need to replace one layer (like the UI, because the boss wants a refresh), you don't need to pull out all your hairs due to frustration!

Domain Driven Design

I don't do DDD (at least not consciously), but understanding what a domain is really really important once you need to talk to business people (not something I like, but it's necessary to write the right code).

Neuromancer

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." is such a banger of a first line. Outdated, because "dead channel" won't make sense to younger kids, but I bet they'll get a kick out of learning about how TVs used to be.
