      Trump is to take the White House I like to think his secret service code name is Cheeto. When he in transportation they will say Cheeto is in the bag. When he enters the White House they will say Cheeto is in the bowl. If he falls Cheeto on the floor 5 second rule 5 second rule.

    @thatbrickster This is the oldest reference I can find:

    https://taslug.org.au/conversation/191860

    Funny that:

    1) This seems to be a fediverse thing only? I was convinced it came in from the outside.
    2) I seem to be the only person (recognized by that server) who reposted and liked. :-)

    @alcinnz The old one was a small Java EE or Hibernate thing that an in-house team of 6 people did in half a year by going around and checking what people actually needed, and it was tailored to their use cases and it worked just fine and everyone hates the new solution because it's slower and support is slower and more expensive.

    But it's enterprise-ready.

    @alcinnz And the requirements spec for the new solution is always "well, it should do everything the old one did".

    @alcinnz And then people refuse to develop anything in-house, they want "standardized solutions" that you can "just configure".

    And then it turns out "configuring" requires a team of 100 consultants and it takes a year or five, because a "standardized solution" that can be "configured" to do "everything" is just as complex as a programming except the tools are all lousy and you're restricted in what you can do, so you need to develop extensions to the standard tool.

    And then the next upgrade comes around and your extensions won't work with it, so you gained fuckall by using a "standardized solution".

    I've heard plenty about others evangalizing (even if that's not meant to be their job) software tools they say "do everything".

    This view really perplexes me as we have software tools that do everything: they're called "programming languages". It doesn't take much to make such a tool. What does take effort is making a tool that actually solves a problem well for people.

    Found just one lousy throwaway tweet for "Cheeto is in the bag", and that was from a few months ago only. This was a whole thing just after the election, how come I can't find it?!

    Where is that old post from tumblr or reddit or whatever, where someone suggested "Cheeto" as Trump's SS codename, and the proceeded to imagine several scenarios with agents calling over the radio things like "Cheeto is in the bag."?

    Ok, I just learned through experience that apparently I have much more difficulty parsing a slight French English accent than I have parsing a pretty heavy Cantonese English accent.

    > Ebola is Back. And Trump is trying to kill funding for it.

    Makes sense. If you want to stop something, go for the resources that feed it.

    Or maybe it was just a terrible headline.

    @Canageek At this stage it is just proving that 1) can produce a homebrew silicon transistor (done by Jeri Ellsworth) and 2) produce an IC (done by Sam Zoolf this year), the next stages will be to automate the production, developing a reliable clean room/environment, miniaturising the process and improving the yield.
