Do people credit the Vikings for discovering Ireland?

The fuck they do.

And I don't know why the fuck you're putting "indigenous" in quotes but man it looks kinda racist. As does the idea that "discovering things" is by default actually "discovered in relation to Europeans".
That's an amazing link, with unadorned and unpolished shots of the factory where the bamboo lumber is made. Very interesting.
> Smart is multi-dimensional for me anyway.

Strongly agreed about "smart" not being just one thing. Somewhere there's someone who's normal at the things I'm good at, and excellent at the things I'm so-so or bad at (there are several of those), and they're probably glad they get to "play" life on easy mode, too. Somewhere there's someone who's as good as both of us at all those things, and they probably own an island and have a private jet and don't think it was particularly challenging to get to that position in life. Maybe—if there's, in fact, exactly one thing they're bad at—they even wonder why other people don't do it.
Talk about it on a different forum. It isn't like there aren't hundreds of other forums.
My own personal example (let's assume I'm smart and have new ideas!)

Because I was a part of an online community from the onset of the Internet age (1997) and also a consultant in Fortune 500 businesses, I was always coming up with ideas.

One particular idea I came up with in 2009 was essentially what Slack became five years later.

I drew up the UI, pitched it to a bunch of people, INCLUDING MICROSOFT, and yet I was unable to convince anyone that it was a good idea. (Microsoft was so focused on SharePoint, that they never saw the potential).

I did not know how to build my idea or execute the concept to prove it to others.

So that third piece, execution, is just as critical.
Hmm, how do I get the Github Actions CI to run on all the already existing PR's for which it never ran? Anyone know?
If you've had high quality loose leaf tea, you'll know that that's not true. It's like saying you need to grind coffee very finely to extract all the flavor when in reality, different grind levels are for different types of procedures like espresso, filter, pour over etc. If you try to use super fine coffee grounds for a pour over, you're gonna have a bad time.
The big advantage to wood though, is that while it's growing it's a carbon sink, and once hardened that carbon is likely stored forever.
Android 12 Notification Reverse Trampolining
Interesting article. I have a question about using my phone as a security key.
So, when I register at a Webauthn site, my phone gets a 'credential-id' and a public-key. Cool.

I use Android, so apparently, this state gets saved in the "Play services state"

So, how can I backup this state, so I can again log into the same accounts I created/registered?

It seems like I might be able to backup that state (pubkeys+ids) to a USB key, but I have no idea what the procedure is, and how to trigger it.

How does one backup/save all their pubkeys+cred-ids that get saved in "play services state", so if Google blocks me, etc, I can still login using those pubkeys and ids?
Have you read his work? There are many things which are memes without real background, such as people believing in the past that earth was flat. No. They didn't. Medieval people didn't believe earth was flat. This is something invented by 1800s historians. Einstein is the same kind if meme. Everyone keeps repeating how smart he was, but not many people have first hand information and know other researchers of his time. I don't know if he was smart or not. I've read some of his texts on politics which were not very good, but I guess he was better at physics. Or maybe those texts I've read even weren't Einsteins, but written by someone who just wanted to use his name to push an agenda. Who knows? Why does it matter? I'm wondering why people are so obsessed with this kind of things, because I've never been and it is hard for me to understand. Maybe you can provide some insight?
P/E is meaningless because it doesn't normalize to the number of shares. What you want is the price to sales ratio, which normalizes for market cap. And yeah, tech stocks are ridiculously overinflated compared to every other sector of the economy. Facebook ranks #3 in P/S ratio even in the tech industry.

So yeah, it's an absurd market valuation based on speculation of growth.
There are, I believe, two kinds of thinking/intelligence. One is analysis and that is the case of many smart people who achieve nothing - other than taking things apart and being critical.

There is a second kind which we don't even seem to have a word for - lets call it gestalysis as opposed to analyis. Putting things together to form new things. The essence of this is to try understand something by building it. You can prove something by logic, but trying to build something and have it work also "proves" something.

For example can you build an ant colony? We may understand ant colonies by taking them apart and examining the parts, but an important part of an ant colony is the interactions and behaviors. Can we understand an ant colony by taking it apart (and certainly that helps) or can we understand it better if we can create a simulation?

And finally, there is a kind of gestalysis that goes further - creating behaviors and interactions that go beyond simulation of things we know. This is, I believe the provenance of startups and entrepreneurs.

It seems to me that Einstein's brilliance not due to analysis but gestalysis. My 2 cents.

My 2 cents.
Well, it's not a web thing. All of software development is migrating into strict/expressive/implicit type systems. The web frontends just happened to move faster there because Typescript has a great type system and is backwards compatible.

Embedded and system programming aren't much behind, because of Rust. Everything else isn't migrating to Haskelllike languages nearly as quickly, but most software will go eventually. The slowness is probably more due to bad market dynamics for the tools than to long term issues.
I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed. Unless you stay indoors all the time, or maybe you live in Bush Alaska or something, your face is likely being captured and stuck in a database tens of times every single day.
It is the sexual act itself that makes it special, which is why I'm against simply abstracting away all jobs to "using mental skills and body parts". A client of a hitman also pays them to use mental skills and body parts. How is being a hitman different than being a software engineer?

Sex is something women do not generally give out easily, especially to men they are interested in dating for the long term. Sex is also an intimate act that strengthens the bond between a couple. By selling sex, the woman devalues herself in the eyes of men. Why do women make guys wait for the Nth date before they have sex with them, if not for the sole purpose to make the guy think that the woman is of high value? You know, that she doesn't just sleep with anyone just like that.

Ask yourself this:

1. Would you marry or date a woman who does sex work?

2. Would you be OK with your daughter/sister doing sex work?

Then ask yourself the same questions after s/sex work/software engineering/g and tell me if you get the same answer.
