Anyone notice that Pokemon Go is spreading like the Black Plague? I tend to keep an eye on the GitHub trends, just to see if any interesting libraries or algorithms come to light, and now, well...

GitHub C# Projects trending monthly [^]

Ten of the top twenty-five C# GitHub projects are Pokemon bots... This is really killing the signal-to-noise ratio. I mean, it's pretty much jamming the signal... With raspberry jam... And only one man would DARE give me the raspberry... LONE STAR!

--Err, ok, sorry... Monday morning... Brain is in an odd state... Semi-obscure side-tracked references are likely to occur...

Anyway... I was really hoping this thing was just a fad, and would die out in a couple weeks. I mean, Ingress was never this popular (I actually played that one for a short time)... But then, I said the same thing about Facebook, so apparently I'm always wrong when it comes to fads.

Generally speaking, I've noticed that the stupider the fad, the longer it lasts.
I don't think P/Go is quite as stupid as Farcebook, but it's pretty close... Unsure | :~

Which means that GitHub trends are useless, but probably Pokemon bot writing abilities will show on job description in the next few years...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Don't knock Pokemon Go. I love nothing more than wandering the back streets, pissed at 3 a.m. on sun morning catching Pokemon just to see my sons face when he wakes me up in the morning to see what I caught for him.

I've got some bad news for you...

Those things you were "catching"... Those weren't Pokemon... You should get tested.

Pokémon was popular when I was a kid about 18 years ago (and it taught me not to ride the bicycle inside Big Grin | :-D

).
No way Pokémon is just a fad Big Grin | :-D

Online fraud: Top Nigerian scammer arrested - BBC News[^]

I would have posted in the news if it wasn't for this line:

"In one case, a target was conned into paying out $15.4 m (£11m)," Interpol said in a statement.

I mean how!?!?! Confused | :confused:

They made someone believe he was a Nigerian prince and was obliged to give away millions after receiving help.

"Mike" also allegedly ran a money laundering network in China, Europe and the US.
"The network compromised email accounts of small to medium businesses around the world including in Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, Romania, South Africa, Thailand and the United States," it said.

So... all those "I want to put money in your account" emails were genuine? OMG | :OMG:
