Margaret Hamilton: Discovered chaos theory and then wrote the software landing the first people on the moon

The scene in I am Legend was tough for me. Saw it not long after our family had to put down our first cat.

I wasn’t enjoying Blood Meridian. What life experience do I need to enjoy it?

America: police state controlled by a handful of tech billionaires

Next you won’t be able to own computers yourself. It’s all going to be rented through sky high subscription fees. Technofeudalism intensifies.

They could be praising Satan and they wouldn’t notice anything wrong.

This is what’s most important. Allow for experimentation!

What works well for one team might not work well for your team. What worked well for your team 1 year ago might no longer be what you need now.

Writing “iteration” sounds absolutely perverse!

I like it to make it clear when the for loop is about iterating lists and when it’s not. For example, the iterations in Monte Carlo algorithms doesn’t correspond to items in a list.

Outside of the for loop counters i and j, short variable names are awful.

I’ve started to prefer writing it out as ”index” or ”iteration” even in for loop counters. It’s easier to read, and not much harder to type.

The FP in Java is still leagues better than whatever the C++ committee cooked up.

The OOP boilerplater is the only one with a job.

That’s a symbol of the sun commonly used in Euroasian religions. It’s clearly not the Nazi symbol. Also, the gesture he’s doing is obviously a Roman salute. Libs are so soft these days.

This looks like a spray painted plastic prop for a Power Rangers movie. I want it to look like real armor that won’t crumble in one sword strike.

My current phone is 3 years old. I have no intention to replace it unless it breaks.

A person probably made some fermented wheat beverage on accident and thought its worth repeating.
