The foot indeed does have two eyes though. The answer provided by the actual AI (linked in the article) is accurate if not profound, since the foot is attached to a human and most humans have two eyes. It is a pretty solid thesis.
While CGI scripts written in perl and shell script were all the rage, I remember using C (and ODBC) quite fondly and successfully. It wasn't until I encountered the webscr.cgi at PayPal that was more than a GB compiled and spanned millions of lines of C language that I realized the error of my ways.
He was complaining about his inability to schedule meetings because of the 11:00am spot. Even in the most flexible of environments, lunch is usually off-limits, 1:00pm is tricky because people can be late due to lunch and this 11:00am yoga essentially means a nearly 3 hour block with difficult scheduling constraints. I don't agree with a lot he has to say but this one kind of makes sense. Routing un-availbility at 9:00am, 11:00am and 3:00pm are, well in my opinion at least slightly uncool (one off's are fine ofcourse).
Enterprise dba shops have deep expertise with oracle (and sometimes sql server). I have personally run into serious resistance from these teams when I explicitly ask for postgres. They try to warn me that oracle is the recommended option for real production use cases because of the deep in-house expertise and that I am pretty much on my own if I go with postgres. Most people back off at that point.
This isn't exactly a programming joke but considering how many of us physics majors become programmers, I think it works:
Heisenberg, Shrodinger and Ohm were driving down a highway when they get pulled over by a cop. The cop asks Heisenberg if he knew how fast he was going, as you can surmise, he claimed he didn't know because he knew exactly where they were. The cop, finding this suspicious (and because this is not USA and 4th amendment does not apply) decides to search the car. He comes back to the front and asks them why they have a dead cat in the trunk, Shrodinger responds, "because you opened the trunk you fool!!". The cop is now irritated and promptly moves to arrest all three. Ohm, resisted.
The purpose is not to avoid corruption, it is to have the ability to plausibly deny ts existence by having paper trail of a faux-fair process that was followed.
Speaking of multi-tasking, I remember writing code that hijacked timer interrupt to surreptitiously perform background tasks. I would also hijack interrupt 9 (I think) to capture keyboard so that I would pop up a small text mode window to display the current state/status when you clicked the magic key combo (ctrl+shift+9 for example). The dialog would vanish and background restored as soon as the keys were let go. Miss that time. The size of my binary was a little over 1K (written in assembler).
Yes, I own a few in fact. Although I don't live in CA. It was quite an arduous journey too, the paperwork was lost twice, once by the local sheriff (who has to sign an affidavit saying he or she vouches for you) and subsequently by ATF who approve the paperwork and send you a tax stamp as proof of this approval. Interesting Americana for an immigrant like myself and I had to get these machine guns just because it is such an American thing to do.
Drone attacks on wedding parties are what I use to differentiate Trump from Obama (and Bush and Clinton). I think the issue in your framing is lumping trump with bush when in reality, obama and bush are more alike (whether it is the merciless killing of people expressing sovereignty against an invading army or bailouts of wall street and wall street alone to the tune of trillions of dollars). Contrast that to Trump (who I am not a fan of) with zero wars started (despite ample opportunity in yemen) and a covid bailout that directly went to the people.
Again, I did not vote for the man but facts matter, please don't get fooled by the same agenda even if executed by two (or three) different administrations with technically opposing parties.
Think of this guaranteed bonus a retention tool (we see some churn after bonus period) - I also have 3 tiers/ratings for individual accomplishment and 3 for group. If you bag top tier for both, you are getting promoted plus the bonus is bigger than your base plus you get serious chunk in stock. It is nearly impossible to get top tier across and in my team of nearly a thousand people, I had three that did it.
Your comment about the first president to not start or accelerate a war since last 6 or 7 terms, at least, is too rich in irony. Trump had many issues but bombing wedding parties to extinction was more of an Obama thing.
My nearly a decade old hp laser printer is chugging along nicely and in addition to my work related printing, has handled multiple kids going through middle, high school and college including snapchat picture wall phases!! On first set of toner cartridges.
300K after taxes? In california, that's practically 600K gross. Well done. Considering you mentioned you doubled your income, does that mean boring corp was paying you 300K gross? That is pretty impressive and honestly, I didn't think broing corp paid this much.
I find that difficult to believe that twitter employees, regardless of where they are based would act in such a blatant manner. Is there a way to prove this? Examples of such actions or bias?
My C63 AMG and Porsche GT3 were the most reliable (and cheapest to maintain) cars I have ever owned. BMW M5 (E60) was the least reliable. Tesla Model X sucked satan's balls in coming up with new ways to break and model S feels flimsy, and a toy compared to the Lexus (both a sedan, lc500 and a suv, LX570).
Maybe this is a game of poker. They cancel some shows as a bluff to next generation of creators that they should avoid asking for large raises for their shows past 2nd season.
Oi Oi Savaloy! I was taught this by a very rough and tumble looking cockney gentleman in a spanish pub near oxford street in london. I almost thought he was a con artist because of the non stop sob stories he told throughout the evening but when I tired to give him two hundred pounds (it was great entertainment value), he got offended and refused to accept it.
This isn't necessarily advice meant to be followed (I hope), I think this is meant to give the rest of us an idea of why we fail even though we are trying to do the right thing.
If you have tried one of the robo investors, the amount of transactions that they generate, even under routine usage (regular contributions, tax loss harvesting etc.), it is beyond any human's ability to comprehend. Fortunately for IRS, computers can very easily track, trace and make sense of large volumes of transactional data without breaking a sweat.
