TEXAS - On a sunny Dallas morning Aaron Francis noticed a little old lady struggling to cross the street, so he proceeded to walk over to assist her. Once the light (for humans) turned green, they both started staggering across the street. Aaron, not having anything better to say, asked "Ma'am, do you happen to know what a Binary Tree is?" Before she could answer, he explained in detail how Binary Trees worked. Thank Heavens they reached the end of the street because Aaron was about to start talking about why BTreeMaps were better than HashMaps. "He was the nicest young man," said the old lady, "but my hearing aids ran out of battery so I couldn't hear him."

A judge ruled last week that Matt Mullenweg is to become WPEngine's butler because the WordPress founder lacked the funds to pay for damages. Mullenweg didn't think it was fair that WPEngine was making money off of WordPress, and he wishes he had thought of that. Later, he took to X to complain about the decision. Further controversy ensued when some WPEngine employees began flirting with the butler, prompting the WPEngine CEO to send out a memo titled, "He's my butler!" Wordpress also had to allow WPEngine back on Wordpress.org proving that Mullenweg is not "master of his domain."

NEW YORK - The creator of TailwindCSS, Adam Wathan, has rented the billboard on the Marriott Marquis while working on a redesign of Tailwind's homepage. According to Wathan, it's "so I can see all of my classes on a single screen without needing to side-scroll." The 25,000-square-foot billboard spans 77.69 by 329.65 feet, providing plenty of space for his markup and class names. Wathan's new setup sets him back around $184,000 a day. "It's nothing compared to the productivity gains," he said. Yesterday, he tweeted a picture of his workspace with the caption: "What's stopping you from coding like this?"

After being caught in 4k using a Microsoft-owned super-bloated version of Neovim that renders a GUI lacking in border-radius (VSCde), many are suspecting that ThePrimeagen has been acquired by Microsoft. Experts confirm that ThePrimeagen has *probably been paid an unholy amount of money by Microsoft to QA Test and Market Devin. Fans are unsure if his employment under Bill Gates, if any, will continue or if Microsoft will go with another candidate. "I don't understand", claims an anonymous source, "why Microsoft would offer a job to such a big skill issue when they can just hire Devin instead."

Popular margarine brand to rebrand to "I Can't Believe It's Not Intelligent", offering the industry's first AI-enhanced margarine. Sohy Bohie, co-founder of the company claims that they've been in the business of 'artificial', well before 'artificial intelligence' was ever a thing, and intends to file a lawsuit against OpenAI for gross patent infringement. It has also been confirmed that Fabio will return to feature in their new promotional commercial. Fabio originally wanted to distance himself from the margarine monolith, after the company had been accused of "greasy" behavior in the past, but says that his career is "toast" anyway, and figures being involved is the butter way to avoid the "spread" of misinformation. Though some believe the company is having a meltdown, we look forward to Sohy's rebrand.

After learning the Rust Programming Language, some people find themselves purchasing thigh-high socks from Jeff Bezos, sprouting synthetic ears/tail(s), and inheriting multiple traits native to communism. Fortunately, experts have put together a list of things you can do to prevent these side effects. ## 1. Use Neovim Using Neovim automatically makes you incredibly based and cracked. Experts have proven that aggressively shilling Neovim is more attractive than telling UI designers to rewrite their figma files in Rust. ## 2. Train in Combat Sports Although not proven, it appears that fighting the borrow checker drains your testosterone levels. People who beat each other to death with boxing gloves tend to have higher levels and are also less likely to experience burnout. ## 3. Eat lots of meat If a rust programmer is not making a hefty six-figure salary, they/it are/is usually single and surviving on open source sponsorships. If not a vegan, affording meat is usually not that big of a deal. Consuming large amounts of animal-based protein is one of the most efficient ways to muster a large amount of brain power, necessary for making red squiggly lines go away. ## 4. Use a split ergonomic keyboard As mentioned in #3, you are either single or sought after by communists for consumption, so affording one of these shouldn't be a problem. Split ergonomic keyboards are sign that capitalism is working on your machine and also signifies that you probably use a terminal-based IDE like Neovim. ## 5. Own a can of WD-40 Conspiracy theorists have linked most of the negative traits and side effects of the Rust Programming Language to the Rust Foundation. Using a can of WD-40 on a Rust Foundation Board Member is the equivalent of using Holy Water on Vampires. Additionally, using WD-40 to lubricate your machine's internals is a great way to cool down your computer and speed up compilation times. Your dad probably has a can of WD-40 in his garage somewhere that you can borrow or take ownership of (you can't clone it). ## Conclusion Rust is a great programming language capable of a lot of things including teaching you bad things your parents wouldn't approve of. This article does not list all the negative side effects but instead focuses on how to prevent them. If you are a Rust programmer, you should be able to use this list to become more based. Or you could just do the opposite and become super cringe.

After logging into X (formerly Twitter) on December 1st, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was shocked to see that the programming community started talking about her. To her utter disappointment, she realized they were talking about Advent of Code. Wanting to please the programming community and maybe muster a few additional votes, she committed to attempt Advent of Code. After creating a GitHub account over the course of an hour, she read the instructions and downloaded the input for day one. Eight hours later, after typing numbers into Microsoft Word and her calculator, she entered her solution and got one gold star. The second half of the puzzle presented itself to her. AOC looked out the window at the setting sun and realized she hadn't eaten all day. Realizing her fate, she burst into tears. "why can’t they just give away the stars for free?"

Users of the popular AI chat tool, ChatGPT, discovered a strange quirk this week: it refuses to name any current members of the Illuminati. Most notably no one could get it to mention the name David Mayer, a Rothschild decedent. Chat GPT also refuses to talk about what really happens at Bohemian Grove, the Denver airport, or what the movie "National Treasure" was about. This has sparked numerous conspiracy theories about why OpenAI's chatbot avoids discussing the group, many speculate that it's in on the secrets. Some have noted that as soon as you bring up the group, the AI slows down, as though it's choosing it's words very carefully. One user claimed that his screen began to flicker while discussing the moon landing. However, legal experts suggest the restrictions may be due to "Right to be a Secret Society" laws, while some critics claim it's Big Tech's attempt to distract us from asking the most important question: are birds real?

In the new social trend known as the 4b movement, in which women abstain from sex and relationships with men, there are new supporters that are predominantly comprised of men: Arch Linux users. One Arch user stated to us: "I 100% support women deciding to take a break from relationships all together. I'm doing the same to spend much needed time ricing my setup." Arch users are supporting the movement by also be taking a break from relationships with the opposite sex. Some claim that their "break" has started long before the 4b movement began.
