Weasel

California, Ireland, Colorado.
MS Math/CompSci UCLA.
Locus, Sun Microsystems; PDP-11, x86, C, Go.
Programming since 1973.
I wrote the program that calculated the GPA that appears on my high-school transcript.

Starting in 1984 I led the project at Locus to create the first x86 virtual machine, to run MS-DOS under Unix, on the AT&T 6300 Plus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6300_Plus).

The lines in the avatar are horizontal.
There should be no profit in human misery.

The avatar is an illusion where horizontal lines appear tilted.

Tellingly, the moment the dynamic flips—as occurred with Mamdani's surprise victory in NYC, where he faces a contested election against at least one candidate essentially a puppet of Donald Trump—the establishment proves its loyalty not to Democrats, but to its own ironclad control.
