Isn’t that first artwork from the Atari BASIC book cover? I suffered enough with BASIC on my TI-99 and IBM XT, I can’t imagine how rough the Atari version was.
I always make sure my variables are named in ways I can remember what they’re for. The only time I just use generic var1, var2, etc is if I am experimenting with a function I’ve never used before and wanna play around with it to see how it’s used.
This should be easily read by others but there could be times where it’s an inside joke.
Same. Wished it had just stayed as an idea. Wished it had stayed as just a concept to be used in movies, games, shows and books. Wished it had just stayed in it's boundaries.
That’s the idea of those “which pictures contain bikes?” ones and the ReCaptcha (where you had two words from books). In the book one, one of the words is known and the other is not. They’ll present the same unknown word to people until they get a clear answer from many dozens or hundreds of entries, using the known word as a control. Then that other word goes into the known words category.
I second the comment about this being a reason to reduce technician hours. Worked at the busiest store in my district the last 15 years of my career. We went from 3 pharmacists with several hours overlap on weekdays, down to 2 pharmacists with no overlap. Tech hours once was high enough to have 5 technicians on between 10-6, down to only having 5 total on staff. We went from a 24 location, down to being open only 11.5 hours a day. We were one block up from a Walgreens and one block down from a RiteAid that both ended up closing, and getting most of their customers who walked there. We had 2 major exoduses of staff and lost a good number of long time patients in the enshitification.
Even in a world where some new AI model could improve pharmacist throughput, it doesn’t compare to the skeleton crewing of corporate pharmacy bottom-line-go-up.
