lol i remember i used to work with a guy whose title was "senior network administrator", despite that he was the only "network administrator" at the school district

i remembered it so hard that at my last job when we were offered title bumps in lieu of actual pay raises, when my buddy got "systems administrator" i asked for "senior systems administrator" :lofty: because i'd been there all of three months longer than him

we have a couple of faculty who have self-assigned the title "senior lecturer" because they think they deserve it, i guess, and they use that to argue why they should get classes instead of the younger folks, etc.


(no one is a "senior lecturer;" the title does not exist)

you may have cared about a better compiler, but Apple started signing your paychecks because gcc never agreed to merge Mach-o support into the main branch and was a pain in the rear end for moving objc forward. then gplv3 was about to hit and Apple knew they would be stuck with an old compiler. many other benefits followed, but Apple management didn’t start out because they wanted to get into the compiler business, they did it because gcc was a problem.

I, too, oppose seniority rights for the non-professorial class.

Why, those drat temps with their "We want a union!" nonsense: they should be glad I let them gaze upon me, an real professor with tenure!

he was very clear that they weren't black people, at least as americans would use the term. i can't find and don't want to look for the original post but i think from all his dancing around we concluded they were probably southeast asians or maybe lighter-skinned north africans.

the alien poo poo zombies, that is.

talking about rms' net worth i decided to see what the FSF's spending looked like.

this is true, but I feel like more people have taken rms seriously. despite the declining importance of gnu, it has at least produced a bunch of worthwhile software that’s still widely used, whereas esr was a one-hit wonder with a book nobody remembers anything about but the title.

plus rms generally managing to come across as harmlessly eccentric whereas esr was always creepy
