UNIX includes a command to deal with your cat walking on your keyboard. When your cat is coming, you just type "cat" and press enter, and your cat's input won't mess anything up.

@evacide@hachyderm.io The thing I really want to know about the Meta Ray Bans is: "Will It Blend?" It would be delightful to get the video from the glasses as they're lowered into the Blendtec and see it abruptly cut off as the mechanized whirring starts.

@rodhilton@mastodon.social Them: Let's move Twitter's infrastructure to the cloud.
Me: Why? We already have our own infrastructure, and we'll be beholden to the cloud provider.
Them: Okay, let's move to *two* cloud providers. Plus, we'll keep some of our own infrastructure.
Me: Uh, won't that be really expensive and potentially tank the company?
Them: Yes, but it will be hilarious later when the company gets scrapped and the new owner has to scramble to get off of the cloud.
