The qualities that are held by a good programmer are many. Obviously, they have to be an effective problem solver and troubleshooter, as well as be willing to persevere when things get difficult. It helps to be more technically minded, and if you have to spend a lot of time working with other people on your code, having the patience to explain things is a great advantage. Also, it is undoubtedly vital that you have a good grasp of memes—you can’t work with computers without enjoying the best of the humor they produce. It’s no surprise that many coders are avid meme makers who are deeply engaged with the wacky world of internet humor. Just in case you need a break from working hard on that code or you want to carry on hardly working, these programming memes are sure to help you in providing some relatable coding entertainment.

In a new Joe Rogan podcast, the British physicist Brian Cox argued that we hold a great responsibility for prolonging our civilization because it might be the only source of meaning in the cosmos. However, in the big scheme of the cosmos, the future existence of humans might not matter, for the same reason that the extinction of dinosaurs did not attract cosmic attention. Humans arrived at the cosmic scene only over the last percent of a percent of cosmic history and nobody at cosmological distances might care about it. Other cosmic players may have no interest in making their…

Mom cries when her alternative 24-year-old daughter elopes instead of planning a big traditional wedding, dad gives her a reality check: ‘Why are you surprised? Lynn didn’t want a wedding in the first place!” #Fun

Parents should know their kids better than anyone. I wouldn’t expect a mother or a father to be able to predict their kid’s every move, especially in adulthood, but I do expect that when their kid tells their parents who they are, they listen. The mom in this story didn’t do that with her 24-year-old daughter, who said she didn’t want a proper wedding after getting engaged to her fiancee. Her daughter, Lynn, is an alternative in many senses of the word; she graduated college for the first time at 16, has tattoos and piercings, and fully marches to the beat of her own drum. She reluctantly agreed to a wedding after her mom pressured her into it, but after one dispute over the flowers, she quickly went home and eloped. While her dad understands why she did that, her mom can’t get over her devastation over the elopement.

Pentagon Reaffirms: No Evidence of Alien Visits to Earth #Paranormal

Have aliens ever set foot on our planet? If any organization would know the answer, it’s the Pentagon, and now the verdict is in. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, no evidence has been found to suggest that aliens have ever visited Earth. During a recent Pentagon press conference, Major General Pat Ryder faced tough questions, including a cleverly crafted inquiry from Jeff Schogol, a journalist with the military news outlet Task & Purpose. Schogol used the opportunity to indirectly ask if aliens had ever visited Earth, saying, “Given the news cycle, you could announce anything about aliens or…

When I first watched My Best Friends Wedding, I was kind of shocked that the titular best friend was marrying a 20-year-old undergraduate, aka Cameron Diaz. I know it’s not necessarily unethical for a 28-year-old to marry somebody in their early 20s, but I can still think it’s weird and that Julia Roberts was a much better option.

Once someone is 18, they can marry whoever they want without their parent’s consent. Any schmuck can walk down to the courthouse and get officially “married,” but most people want a bigger production that costs a bit more than that. If a young couple is going to get their dream wedding with all the frills, they’re probably going to need some money from their parents to make it all happen. The dad at the center of this story is refusing to pay for his daughter’s wedding because she is Cameron Diaz in My Best Friend’s Wedding and he can’t accept a Dermot Mulroney husband just yet.
