Very nice, but if you want to use it professionally you should consider having an alternative "clear text" version for recruiters and the like. The technically minded will find it nice but most people won't know what to do or what any of this means. And you could consider adding `ls`, `cd` and `exit` just for fun -- it was the first thing I've tried.

This must be the most unintuitive result of all of mathematics. Its very interesting what a seemingly simple axiom like the axiom of choice can lead to -- simple as in 'even a 9-year old can understand it', the consequences are rather enormous and not simple at all.

What GP is suggesting is that 'cui bono' isn't a good explanation in most cases. It's always good to ask the question of whom benefits. But using it as an explanation for anything and everything is intellectually dishonest.

This isn't a serious argument, you can write 'shitty code' in Java too. In fact, I've seen more 'shitty' Java than 'shitty' Go, since I've seen far more Java projects than Go projects. It's possible that Go makes it particularly easy, but I somehow doubt that.

That, but organized by a whole volunteer department in this case...

I can also recommend Edward Frenkel's (the guest of this video) book "Love and Math" on the subject. He writes as well as he talks, the book is very approachable, not just for a mathematically literate audience, but also for those who "don't like math". Its about the Langlands Program, but also about his own personal history of becoming a mathematician in the Soviet Union and his experiences with antisemitism during that time. Fascinating Stuff, even though it only barely touches the surface of his research.

We all did mistakes when we were teenagers, its part of the process. It takes courage to admit that. Whats the lesson to be learned here? Never be honest in the public ever again?

1. Yes, due to Covid -- more or less, at least it was a convenient excuse.

2. Absolutely not -- got a far better job offer 3 months after and took it: Better pay, more interesting projects, hands-on experience with big clients.

3. No, being unemployed for a short while does not carry social stigma where I come from. It does if you are unemployed for a longer period of time though.

This is definitly my favourite map app. The offline features are amazing and it has a great UI and operability. Routing for bicycles could be better, I ended up in the middle of the forest without clear path the other day, but this is more of an issue with old OSM datasets than with the app itself.

I thought about this for a while now and I think for the class of problems GP is referring to, no maintenance will actually be needed, the tools will just be discarded re-written again -- at least in one-man projects where no other person than the author is needed to create the tool. Maybe in the future some kind of pseudo-code between real code and natural language will be established. This kind of pseudo-code could be as expressive as code but more concise than natural language. I am not certain if it will ever replace actual software engineers for scopes beyond on-man projects.

Yes and if you'd continued to read the article, you would have noticed that this situation is used as an example about the problematic aspects of sexuality in our society -- its a segue to an argument, not the argument itself.

> You are not entitled to sex with anyone, but people can have preferences that are problematic

You rather took this one line out of context and interpreted in the worst possible way.

True, but I really don't think the article in question is that divisive or out of touch with reality. Its a simple book review, with a balanced approach to the subject

I guess some people are uncomfortable with the issues raised in the article. Alternative explanation: some users are trigger-happy and flag an article based on the headline before they have a chance to read it. ~Its un-flagged by now~, and I vouched too BTW...

Its a good article and a balanced discussion about feminism would be very nice to have here...

Just the usual political flamewar that happens here from time to time, not sure why it escalates on some threads and not on others though.
