"Commodore BASIC–style interpreter written in C, but with modern conveniences."

Perhaps because the chatbot is advising the user on how to act in a given situation... and how to circumvent having their chatGPT prompts flagged by the system.

I have seen this in many orgs. It is sometimes hard for others to see you in a role other than the one you are in, or sometimes they see you as too valuable in your role to let you leave it.

I agree with the others that sometimes the path for career advancement can be to move on elsewhere.

For those wondering what it actually is, as I was:

Mag World is an effort to develop an intuitive sense of scale-–not just “bigger” or “smaller”, but how much bigger, and how much smaller. And what are each of the levels of scale like?

I bought a C64 ultimate recently as well. I am thoroughly enjoying it and re-learning the eccentricities that all made sense to me back in the 80s...

I used to drive a 1991 Suzuki Cappuccino - a tiny right-hand drive kei sports car. The first couple of years I drove it, the police pulled me over on a regular basis - no tickets issued but lots of questions asked.

One time while I was waiting for a light, an officer knocked on my window (which is somewhat startling)... I rolled it down and he excitedly asked "What kind of car is this?!"

"blaming rising costs" makes it sound like they're actually doing something shady.

It's not exactly a secret that memory and storage costs have gotten more expensive. It should not be a surprise when a piece of hardware that depends on those gets more expensive too.

I'll give you that currency isn't a huge issue. From what I recall, Quebec wanted to continue using the Canadian dollar if they separated.

If they opted to go with the USD, they'd have to trade all their CAD - which will undoubtedly take a huge hit if they separated.

I still think that separatists would say that Alberta doesn't have to deal with a share of the debt and that would be a sticking point.

It has been my experience that people always seem to want simple solutions to complex problems.

The result is that the details of how complex those problems are get ignored or their impact is represented in a diminished way.

In this case currency, debt, indigenous rights/claims and existing legislation are some examples of what is being glossed over and ignored.

I've lived my entire life just "down the road" from Toronto in Canada's 10th largest city. Always in the shadow of Toronto and the butt of many jokes.

Back when I worked in Toronto, people would always ask when I'd be moving there - because why would you want to live anywhere else?

I also remember, circa 2000, when the marketing people at the company I worked at were talking about advertising - they didn't see the point of spending on advertising outside of Toronto.

It's a very different mindset, that's for sure.

My Ontario green plate starts with GV...

May Day - like labour day in Canada/USA... but on the first of May

This reminds me of the explanation of why the US primarily uses light water reactors.

Heavy water reactors (CANDU in the case of the explanation) don't scale down past a certain point - the water flow ends up with weird dead spots and that affects the reaction and cooling of the fuel rods. Since they don't scale down well enough, they aren't suitable for portable use, such as in submarines.

I'm not sure if it's still the case, but apparently one of the largest sources of nuclear engineers/scientists in the US was the US navy.

This also lead into the story about Jimmy Carter (nuclear sub naval officer at the time) coming to Chalk River in the 50s to help with the NRX meltdown...

Looks like it shares many characteristics with LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System)...

Bees or yellowjacket wasps? The first are pretty much "live and let live" the second turn into aggressive starving balls of winged hate in the late summer and early fall.

Bees make honey and pollinate - yellowjacket wasps may remove some pests from the environment, but otherwise bring pain and suffering to the unwary.

Have a look at something like spacetimeDB - caveat, I've only read about it and not directly used it:

I'm not an American... but "bin fire" seems to be a thing too.

I'm more disappointed that "Dumpster Fire" hasn't made the grade four times.

I take it this only works for USA locations?

I just lump it all under "Evolutionary Computing"...

It sounds like a standard threat-risk assessment applies.

How big of a threat is it/what impact will it have on business/reputation/etc.?

How likely is it to be exploited and how widely would it be considered useful to the market of threat actors?

In so far as the state is a provincial/federal judge making the decision based on the presented evidence and setting the conditions as appropriate.

It looks like it will probably be used in the "you made these threats and if you follow through, you'll be tried for that _and_ suffer some penalty for breaking the conditions of this order" kind of way...

That said, you won't get much traction in Canada with an argument that free speech includes things like "we should rid ourselves of all [members of some group]".
