Oh damn.

He actually did TWO Christmas songs about being lonely and missing your ex, because he also featured on "Christmas in Antarctica," a single that has A SAD PENGUIN on the cover.

"On a lonely South Pole Christmas
Not a single tree in sight
The sun never goes down at night
So what’s the point of stringing lights
When you’re all by yourself?
Merry Christmas everybody else"

Are you kidding me

When Ben Gibbard picked a Christmas song to cover, he picked the one about missing your ex. That is a commitment to the bit you can truly appreciate.

modern STEM education has created an army of naive computer scientists that know how to apply processes to data but are completely oblivious to the philosophical implications and criticisms of their work

Y2K was a huge issue in computing that was replicated among many systems worldwide. The reason why the world at large never saw anything bad occur was that a lot of people worked extremely hard to update afflicted systems.

Developers who had worked on mainframe systems writing code in languages that hadn't been used in one of more decades came out of retirement and worked overtime.

And once it was fixed... that was it. Nothing happened. Nobody ran articles talking about this enormous effort.
