For many people it was the first language they learned, which I think explains most of it. But the tooling was also very fast from a latency perspective, even on the slow hardware of the time, which tends to make for magical memorable experiences.

I prefer James Purefoy's performance in Rome, playing a more thuggish (and probably more realistic) Mark Antony.
In a logic setting, this is a much harder position to hold: it's much easier to assert the possibility of existence than the non-possibility of existence (which requires universal qualification).

The OA isn't a good argument for various reasons that others have noted above, but the possible existence of God (or Unicorns, or Colorless Green Ideas) isn't one of them.

Caesar didn't "introduce the voi". Is this an urban myth that Italians believe? The tu/vous distinction in Romance languages arose in medieval times. Not only did it not exist in Caesar's time, it is absent from the centuries of Imperial-era literature in Latin.

There is a wide literature on Latin forms of address. Eleanor Dickey's monograph published by Oxford University Press is a good survey.
Somewhat isolated, yes. Not protected because there are no privileged instructions on a Z80.

Bank switching requires part of the address space to be common amongst all banks (never switchable) so code to manage the switching can execute. In that part of the address space you can do things like monkey patch the OS and driver entry points, or switch banks and collect or patch all the RAM.
And I assume, provide a way of rate limiting free accounts without someone making a thousand of them
Other than IG envy posts a lot of my younger friends seem to be switching to private or mostly private group chats. A lot of them use Discords even for non-gaming stuff probably due to the illusion of a smaller and more authentic community. Tiktok and YT may be replacing others but those seem much more heavily leaning to watching versus posting as the skill and production of what it takes to look good on it is more effort.

If I had to guess they're getting annoyed at the rapid enshittification push at some of the big platforms. We may see federated mastodon model become more popular once a few celebrities figure it out.
For me it became incredibly hard to find a game to get hooked on. Most recently Path of Exile was it, one of the very few games (flight sims, Gwent and Slay the Spire) that I have more than 100 hours of game play. And indeed, when I find such a game, looking forward to it was a great motivation throughout the day. Currently my only hope is with PoE2, crossing fingers for it.
While technically true this is somewhat pedantic, the KJV was the first vernacular translation to be widely available in the English speaking world and is a hugely influential text for literary English, so just take "original" here in a metaphoric sense.
For most of my life I've quietly despised the people in the church of my youth for switching to thee/thou/thy in public prayers. I always thought this was grandstanding performance of piety, or cargo cult mumbo jumbo, or both.

It just seemed so silly to think that God only understands archaic English.

Now it turns out these people I despised were only being respectful, and trying to use the formal forms?

However, since it seems that "thee" and "thou" were actually the informal forms of "you" in 17th century English, now I'm really confused why they suddenly started talking this way the moment they crossed the threshold of the church.
>1. Use work-sample tests. Yes, they're annoying, but they're high-signal. Take-home tests, online tests, in-person tests, trial periods - there are plenty of options here, but it seems clear this is the most effective way.

I'd argue that you're basically pushing the workload onto the applicant. Now, sometimes it makes a lot of sense to the degree that the applicant can just share a work sample with you--GitHub, published report/paper/other writing, a video of a presentation. In fact, I've hired for non-developer roles where some sort of work sample is pretty much non-negotiable. But recognize this creates biases (and acts as a filter) where something needs to be created from scratch.
I did a small project recently (a form to edit N instances of an object, each containing N instances of other objects, so standard input, add / delete buttons, saving to server) and I decided to not use React or any form of templating, just DOM. It reminded me of when I used to ship jQuery projects.

It was refreshingly simple and, despite being more verbose, it was clear what everything would happen once a certain event would happen. With a bit of clever refactoring dealing with elements factories wasn't too bad, even without a templating engine.

Not having to think "How is this going to be rendered by React, is it going to be efficient or trash performance" was great and I think it's intrinsic of picking a certain abstraction and we'll always have that.

Sure, the better the abstraction the less this problem happens eg. Solid is calling the component function once, which makes things easy to reason about
Nix is different, yeah, and it won’t wire together a build cache for you. Nix is great for many things of course, it’s just not a replacement for sccache per se

Nix + sccache would probably be pretty great for preserving paths and environment, which is really healthy for build caching in general.
That's a lame excuse as if one writes "Fuck Druze" or "Fuck Yazids" Twitter does not add a warning. Besides, Christians have certainly been persecuted in Muslim countries and Muslims are certainly persecuted in Western countries.

In the Netherlands, it is very regional whether or not you use the polite form. In the capital region, it is not used, and use is a signifier you are from the countryside, if your accent wasn't enough. There are courses on how to get rid of your accent (or rather, get one of the capital region), and ceasing the employ of the polite form is featured.
An all-powerful, omniscient being invites some paradoxes/problems:

Homer Simpson's version was "Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?"

Also - if you're omniscient and you already know your future, does that imply that you do not have free will?

One of the most stable and effective findings in I/O psychology is the predictive value of IQ on job performance, which unfortunately is also often legally gray. Maybe companies know what they're doing with coding challenges as an under-the-legal-radar proxy for IQ? Especially if companies are hiring young adults straight out of college with little to differentiate themselves.

It makes no sense to spend taxpayer money on subsidizing flood insurance, which just subsidizes people to live in places that are likely to flood. Why is it a public good to pay for people to rebuild buildings in areas over and over again, when it is known they'll just be destroyed by flood again and again?

If the practice was not heavily subsidized, there would be no billion doller grifter industry to complain about.

They are unhappy being forced to write code that is free of undefined behavior?

It reminds me of the joke: Alice claims she is very fast at mental math. Bob asks "what's 4821 times 5997?" Alice replies "ten thousand." Bob says, "What, no, that's wrong, very wrong." Alice says, "But it was fast!"

Are you telling me C / C++ developers are like Alice? When given the choice between fast undefined behavior and slower but more likely to be correct undefined behavior, developers will choose the faster option that is more likely to be incorrect?
The net revenue he gets is actually reasonable.
Back during the early Cold War, some Americans were concerned that the Soviet model would out compete democracy and free market capitalism. They might beat us without even fighting. Later we found out that it was all a facade. Their purported successes were all lies and failures. The entire society was rotten to the core and eventually the internal contradictions ripped it apart.

China is not to be taken lightly. They are a legitimate threat and strategic competitor. But they also face enormous problems due to unfavorable geography, lack of key natural resources, corruption, malinvestment, and demographic collapse. These problems are not getting better, and I won't be surprised if there's a violent civil war in 30 years (as has happened many times over millennia of Chinese history).

This is a very common misinterpretation. A major factor behind such misinterpretation is probably the King James Bible. It heavily influences our sense of style even today. God is traditionally addressed with thou due to the intimate relationship, and today this is often misinterpreted as formal style. E.g.

> Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Perhaps but I think you shouldn’t feel you were disqualified because you missed the GitHub projects. Stating that you are a father is an honest answer and also sets the expectations on whether you are going to pull all nighters or your dedication matches a fresh grad. As a fellow father I would rather there is an honest match than be surprised half way into onboarding with the stress that ensues.
I try to focus on being the candidate that knows their thing and that will improve the software quality so there are no all nighters. Employers value that and it is something I know I can show up as an advantage. Recommendations mentioning that, help.
This is a minor distinction to make it clear in writing, same as De vs de in Norwegian, and several other languages. It's a common way of turning a plural into a formal address.

Incidentally, in Norwegian the formal form is now so archaic that short of communicating very formally with a very old person, in most cases it will come across as rude and sarcastic (you're implying someone is seriously up themselves)

Beyond the code and algorithms, Aurora brings a touch of elegance to the tech world. Whether she’s preparing for a tennis match or enjoying the serenity of a desert sunset, her Instagram presence paints a vivid picture of a woman seamlessly navigating both the virtual and physical realms.

Aurora Lopez – A Rising Star:

As we delve into the fascinating world of Aurora Lopez, it’s clear that she is not just a model; she’s a catalyst for change in the AI landscape. Watch this space as Aurora continues to redefine what it means to be a trailblazer at the crossroads of technology and modeling. The future, it seems, is painted in shades of purple, blue, and the limitless possibilities of artificial intelligence.
A lot of companies, most notably Facebook, Uber, Doordash, and Amazon, took a ton of time to not lose absurd amounts of money, so I can see why that was the job. They literally had ideas that wouldn't have worked as companies without billions of dollars.
A lot of the enshittification is a result of the drop in organic content from friends and needing to maintain engagement numbers. It’s a vicious cycle, possibly a death spiral.
It's not wrong.

I stand by exactly what I said.

In practice, it was taught as an introduction to programming.

For a decade or two, children learned Basic and highschool/JC aged kids learned Pascal.

Of course they aren't the same thing. It'd be like saying kids ride tricycles and then bicycles and clapping back about penny farthings, velocipedes and dandy horses while tricycles started as a wheelchair device.

Give me a break. The point was Pascal is accessible and easy to learn.

I've met both Kurtz and Wirth and I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem with this.
How is Africa connected with America? How is Europe connected? Even if you count ancient ice connection, Asia is more connected than they either of those. Wtf are you talking about
We aren't at war. Propaganda in peacetime and bombs at any time are so disanalogous it is comical.

You win a war of ideas by presenting better ideas, not by censoring bad ideas.
This is very noticeable in the Athrabeth, where Finrod switches between "you" and "thou" when talking to Andreth throughout the conversation.

Tolkien also talks in Appendix F of The Return of the King about how hobbits had largely lost the distinction between "you" and "thou" - so when Pippin speaks to Denethor in Minas Tirith and addresses him with the familial term, people assume that he must be royalty himself to address the Steward in such an informal manner.
Use that all the time actually! But the main argument for CSV that I most often hear is "at least I can just load it into any text editor.." I figured having a pretty good TUI program might be just as good as using a text editor, but we'll see.
Thank you for sharing this. So beautiful.
My comment was about Retr0id's, for which I cannot find any interpretation that isn't describing the purpose as being a test of attention. If you have a different view, can you elaborate?
Medicine we have now is orders of magnitude better than what indigenous people could ever dream of.
It's a common understanding that CCTV exists. It's not a common understanding that this level of user tracking is happening.

and being in public visiting a store vs reading a website in the privacy of your own home are clearly very different situations.

This is a visualization of how I have been feeling for the last couple of years.

I'm in my mid 30s and lately have been going through what I'm sure is a mid life crisis. Seeing all these empty cells really underscores the point.

- Aware of my limited time

- Aware of my limited health (despite exercising, eating healthy, avoiding alcohol and drugs, sleeping well, etc... I don't feel like I did in my 20s)

- Difficulty finding meaning in my work / life ... lots of existential thoughts and worries.

- Bored and burned out, not really sure "what else" there is yet constantly reminded of time that is running out.

Anyone else been feeling this way? My "solution" has been to just accept it and take each day as it comes. I haven't given up, I'm just trying to chill out and let go a little bit. The last three decades were all about gas, gas, gas and maybe I need to just accept that I've reached a time in life where my body and mind is telling me to ease up on the accelerator, enjoy the small things, and accept that what will be will be.
One way to show non-possibility, leveraging universality, is to show that for all A's, one can prove both B and something contradicting B.

Example:

∀(G ∈ gods . card(G) = 3) ∧ ∀(G ∈ gods . card(G) < 3)

Whether or not people have "proved" contradictory attributes for gods is left as an exercise for the reader...

You might be thinking of Hemingway's novelization of his experience supporting antifascists in the Spanish Civil War, "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

He uses "thee" and "thou" to simulate the informal Spanish "tú".
>> the signals I'm looking for: (1) can the candidate code fluently, (2) do they approach the problem in a systematic way, (3) can I communicate with them without friction.

> Isn't this a sort of cultural preference on its own? You're looking for (and prioritizing) people who can code a certain way and communicate with you a certain way.

Fluent coding doesn't imply style or something non-measurable. You can say if someone is fluent or not even if they are using a programming language that you don't know. I interpret it as: do they struggle while converting their idea to code, or not. Not how they structure the code, etc.

Same for the systematic approach to the problem. If their explanation is all over the place, or failing to uncover the important bits of the problem[1], bias doesn't kick in here. We can argue about the appropriate layering of the solution (the level of detail). That's where different people are different. But you can see if their strategy works or not once they put it in code (i.e. maybe they should have put more structure in their approach).

[1] (I: "Code me a string invertor". C: "Yes Sir! Here you are." I: "That's not what I had in mind.").

> A brilliant programmer from a different code style background, who's maybe an introverted poor communicator (or just have a different communication style)

Well, if I can't communicate with them (there's high friction), I shouldn't work with them. This is a bad fit by definition. They might find a better fit at another company.
Article states:

> ... we replicated TikTok’s own methodology used in its November 13, 2023 letter.

So Tiktok's own methodology doesn't make sense? Goes on to say:

> NCRI analysts examined the volume of posts on TikTok by hashtag, using the platform’s own ads manager portal. We performed the same analysis using Instagram’s explore feature.

Are your 10 shitty videos aren't going to show up on the ad manager portal?
That's a pretty good job. This may have been answered and I didn't see it, but how long did it take to get up to that level?
I remember when I was learning German seriously I switched over software and websites to German... and felt very uncomfortable that facebook would always use 'du' with me. I'm guessing it's some marketing "oh we're so informal and cool" marketing wank talk, but it grossed me out.

Not sure if any native German speakers that had that reaction.
Of course I can. There is no contradiction there. You can write readable code in any language, even assembly, but that does not mean well written code in a language that is also particularly readable won't be more of a joy to read than well written code in a verbose or hard to read language.
That's called social engineering, the US also abuses its position as leader to spread their propaganda all around the world

Let us not forget about Facebook / Myanmar

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-faceb...

The west calls it "pursuit of profit", i call it intentional social engineering, since we all know most of the social media apps have for "content moderation" team former CIA agents, and part of their existence is due to CIA/NSA research grants/programs, and the US has clear interests in that region, for that one specific case

This is why it is important for parents to properly educate their children when it comes to social media, i would personally prohibit them all

But let's be honest, TikTok is the least harmful of them all, Twitter and Facebook comes to mind first when it comes to political propaganda, as well as disturbing content

Wanting it banned without expecting all the other ones to follow is disingenuous, to say the least, or it is perhaps "propaganda" ;)

I’ve seen shirts. Rayon is a process, not a material. It’s somewhere in the range of satin or silk. This wood fiber I haven’t seen unblended so I don’t know what its consistency is like, but I would guess in the neighborhood of flax. Softer than hemp, rougher than cotton. Whether it’s softer or rougher than linen I could not tell you.
