The sequence is completely correct until the point it decides that more ◦ less ≡ less.

Meetings! Meetings as far as the eyes can see!

There’s no escape, there’s no rest. Life is only meetings now.

Well, round numbers will indeed make the math easier.

Yes, people some times live up to 120 years. You should start at 60.

Ok, it’s cool. But is it good?

It’s so hard to find a good gaming mouse!

look at headlines occasionally

No way. If you only look occasionally you have no chance to normalize all the crazy stuff in the previous 12 hours and it all hits you at the same time.

The news don’t get any less crazy if you don’t look for a while. That recommendation was for the time when 24 hours news had to make shit up to fill their time.

# mount -o loop file.iso empty_dir

Well, it must have become impractical after they started to invade cold countries… But it didn’t seem to have stopped them.

Also, I can’t tell them anything.

Excess of easy to digest food becomes hard to digest. Our bodies have a limited capacity.

Or it was the salad. IDK. Some times it is.

Yeah, by default kill sends sigterm, and not kill the process at all.

It’s the correct behavior, sending sigkill by default would be harmful. Now take a look at how killall worked in Solaris (before it adopted GNU).

The NT kernel was all built to emulate object orientation (read Smalltalk, not C++) style message passing. That’s because it was the 90s, and it’s the new technology kernel.

So yeah, expect everything to have more flexibility sending data around, and no standardization at all so you can’t have any generic functionality.

Even worse. You’d get from Windows 7 to Windows 11.

Why, indeed?

It’s horrible when you come up with some absurd example that could never happen to use somewhere, and shortly after reality calls your bluff.

They need you training AI to make it into a profitable product… that will replace you.

If they really believe in that, they should seek psychological help.

Also, replacing you won’t generate enough revenue for keeping the main LLM provides alive. Yes, they are that wasteful.

Yeah, it’s because it’s not the school that is bullshit.

It’s some of the stuff people do there. At the same time, some aren’t. And we are incredibly bad at telling the difference, and worse than useless on doing that at scale.

There’s a really fun discussion of news commentators on the lines of “Nobody is stupider than Trump, Vance will just be better at being evil” and “Nobody is stupider than Vance, Trump is the one keeping everything in place”.

Reality is probably too weird to predict anyway.

If you measured the water temperature, the thermometer has a better measurement than the presence of bubbles or not. And it’s the temperature that is important, not the bubbles.

So… 203 °F = 96 °C…

That’s right on the margin where bubbles are really inevitable. It you are heating the water in a very homogeneous way, and has a lid or some salt dissolved, it’s possible you don’t see any bubble. It’s not common, but hey, everybody sees a few uncommon things in their life.

Just let C++ die already, and stop pretending it’s a reasonable thing to compare other languages with.

If you can’t do it in C, you are better in Java, Python, Haskell, whatever.

The length of variable and function names should be proportional to the size of the code that can potentially call them. And preferably segmented in namespaces, explicit modules, or something like that.
