There is too much blame to go around, and not enough people and orgs wanting to acknowledge blame.
Trump did not become a household name randomly. He was helped and aided by many. And I have noticed hundreds of times how the main stream media enabled his word salad and gave it meaning and power. In real life, not many people listen to blathering hateful idiots.
I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.
All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.
And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.
Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.
Flies and moths sometimes got behind panels and caused issues. Hence computer bugs entered our lexicon.
It’s easier to imagine the insects entering with this picture,
witnesses, accusations, court trials, investigations by law, settlements and outright admission.
Some of them have more of one type than the other but most of the people mentioned in this political context are not unlucky people who only have one or two incidents.
That does not mean the other people are saints. But most seem to at least not glorify in it, and many are content to exploit and rob the working class without such public incidents.
When I was learning to program in the 1990s, at university, it was easy to get good advice and learning from the printed word: both in books and on websites. I think if I had to start learning all over again, and not be in a good school, it would be very hard for me to do as well.
Today there is too much advice, too many influencers who recently learned whatever they are peddling, too much AI, too many fields of tech.
I think the best way to learn now is how many of us learned decades earlier; use a list of books that are vetted by many ( can find lists here and there, saw one in GitHub last year). And while reading the books read the documentation even if they are gaps in one’s knowledge and the docs are badly written.
I don’t think one needs recent books for many concepts and basics. The wheel has been reinvented many times in the hundreds of tech stacks in use today. And the same concepts will be easy enough to learn in newer docs once a technology and programming set of tools is invested into by the learner.
As for new software engineering ideas and architecture concepts: usually these are reiterated from earlier ideas and often marketed for profit. So older architecture books, refined by several editions, are still best.
Sounds like the nyt cherry picked some influencers to reinforce an opinion that may not be widely shared: that a viable strategy is to give up and do useless politics.
The article vaguely criticizes other movements without giving alternatives.
Yea, I see it as a world wide trend in many languages: the dialects are going away
I grew up near the Appalachian segment of the USA southeast. This was an oft repeated phrase then.
I did not even think about it while I read the comic. But methinks it’s going away in style. Everyone speaks high English here.
That much ?
Watched this, it was a silly but nice movie. It’s meant to be a comedy but I understand a lot of the stuff, other than the journalist’s story, really happened.
Which makes it more fun.
Or it threw up over the ledge; a lot of animals puke over the edge of something
Thanks for talking about broken, it’s on my next read list.
I did enjoy ready player 1; never did ready player 2 out of fright it would not be very good
