I searched but I couldn't find out who this author is/was. Lines like "The author of TASC was very proud of this optimization." makes me think that Raymond Chen is the author, is this right?

For those not familiar with the story, Lazarus was a dead guy that got resurected by Jesus of Nasareth in the New Testament.

As in, Pascal was all but dead (tha Java hype was happening with full force) and even the Delphi guys put their best efforts into making Delphi a C++ dialect, but this RAD IDE would resurect Pascal.

Paint by numbers vs a blank paper. I can't use a DAW, I end up with the musical equvilent of dickbutt every time.

I too did a search. So far we have only "I don't want drama"-smoldesu's assertion that this happened.

Or that time he faked going to space and met chrystal aliens. Typical fucking lying influencers.

> Calling them "power chords" in a non-rock context sounds off to me, though.

Lots of powerchords in pop too. "powerchord", to me at least, implies that there is a distortion effect somewhere in the signal chain. Powerchords on their own sounds really weak.

Let's compare Germany with a made up family who we shall call ... Schmidt. Fritz Schmidt, the father, is doing more than good, he is one of the best engineers in the world, he is making good money. His house is smaller than he would like but he keeps it tidy and he is generally well respected. His two kids goes to the best schools.

One day something goes wrong with his brain and he goes on a murder spree.

Fritz goes to prison, his house is sold off to pay the victims families and his children are sent to separate orphanages.

Decades later one kid, Hans, have made it despite being reminded of his fathers crimes every day. His orphanage helped him with a good education and a very generous loan so he could start his own factory.

The other kid, Helmut, got a shit education and no loan and is hungry every day. Almost every month he has to beg Hans for money to pay the rent.

What a great outcome for the Schmidt family.

Sorry, but the germans started it.

Broad inclussion makes a country stronger, not weaker.

Germany has tried the "pure" route once before, it did not end well

Plant domestication seems to be on quite similar timelines on both continents.

Horses and humans i the Americas at the same time is a post-Columbus thing. Buffaloes can't be domesticated. Llamas are mountain animals and wheeled wagons in mountains are extra hard to do well. Even in the old world, wheels where primarily a steppe thing.

Edit: I was wrong about the horses, there is a overlap.

You knew about bumblebees right? Those are solitary bees (most of them, there are colonizing bumblebees as well)

The article mentions a beetle named after Adolf Hitler. Would you like to know more?

See Larry? This is what you get when you bore a tunnel through the Alps!

Yes.

What? To me it looks like they try to turn their bodies but in freefall they can't make sense of where down is. No reflexes lost.

At least in Swedish the word "orange" for colour is a recent import. That color was called "fire yellow" (brandgul) when I was a child.

"Thank you for the language, horse barbarians, here, have some dumplings as a token of our gratitude"

Like others have said, it's not you.

If you where in a position to derail a release twice, someone (not you) is not doing their job.

You mentioned working on new features by yourself. That's fucked up. Junior devs can work on new things, sure but they need to have a senior guide. And the resposibility of the feature should be on the *senior* dev.

In my opinion the best way to use a junior dev if resources to hold their hand are missing is to have them work on fixing bugs and support tickets for a while. This will give them a solid understanding of the code base and most external dependencies. Working on new features after that is way easier.

I don't respect my kids? You don't know shit.

Anyway, "other adults" lie all the time. Every employer I ever had has lied one time or another. This is important information. Bringing kids up into some fairies and unicorn fantasy where everything is unthinkingly accepted, thats disrespecting children

Nah, it's a game, training them for when its for real. Like how I sometimes pretend to forget the way home from the library and have my kids give me directions home while I'm driving.

This is how they learn to actually pay attention to where they are.

I lie to my kids all the time (about unimportant stuff). I make the lie outragous and if they seem to take me seriously I pile on. I say I'm a disc golf world champion (we own no frisbees).

They now try to indipendently verify everything they hear.

Love Notepad++ and I sometimes miss it on Linux. Are plugins from Notepad++ compatible with this?

Russians have always had trouble with their offensives. But I doubt anyone thinks a pan european army can just roll into russia. The country is big. Supply lines breaks down. The winter is terrible. The russians are tough as hell and fierce when defending.

As someone who has done thousands of hours of programming in a visual language (IAR Visual State), I hate it. The promise of an easy visual overview quickly drowns in a sea of edge cases.

A picture says a thousand words, sure, but precicely what those words are turns out to be important. We use text for programming because it allows us to express ourselves unambigously.

I sure would like to see more visual representations of text programs though, this seems like the best of both worlds to me.

Oh yeah, thanks!

For addition I can see the binary addition at work. The ding "carries" if it get put in a ring that already has a ding by getting its own ring etc... For multiplication I just WAT
