DEY TERK ER JEEERRRBS
I have a trip to Japan coming up very shortly that I’m looking forward to. Made a few Cafe reservations a little while ago, I’ll be riding with a drift instructor around a few tracks at Ebisu Circuit, planning on visiting Nara to see the deer, going to a few PokeCenters, and visiting a bunch of second hand stores for books, games, and merch.
I saw a post about how some female model apparently knew a lot of programming languages (I think it was around 60?) and left a comment about how I’d wager they only knew how to make the computer say “hello world” in most of them.
What I was intending was more that if much anyone told me they knew a ton of different programming languages (regardless of their jobs or side hustles) then that’s what I would expect. Don’t blame the downvoters for reading that as misogynistic and demeaning to models, but that’s not what I was intending. Just that much anyone claiming they can program in that many languages reads to me like they’re really inflating their numbers to brag.
Though in retrospect I can see how a magazine (or another similar group) may want to pull that number out of her in an interview (so she wouldn’t necessarily be bragging about it) and may not care about exactly how accurate or misleading the number could be compared to what they actually said.
Don’t forget how it’s becoming more and more likely you’ll just get a counterfeit.
This is one of my absolute favorite videos on YouTube. Excellent choice.
Some day I’d love to be the owner of a Curta calculator, but considering the cheapest I’ve ever seen them is $700 I don’t think that’ll ever be a Christmas gift. A tax refund gift to myself perhaps one day, but certainly not a Christmas gift.
"Jack of all trades,
Master of none,
But still better than
A master of one."
I looked into it once before, the short answer is because the letter predates the distinction between “u” and “v”.
Edit: Here’s a comment I made a while ago on the same topic with a little more information: https://lemmy.world/comment/10659648
Do they want used ones?
the new guy went to change his pants from long ones to short ones.
Wait so was he fired for wearing short pants, for leaving with the intention of changing his pants, or because (the reason I initially thought the glass was relevant) the new guy changed his pants within view of the boss’s son through the glass walls?
Better Call Saul. I liked Saul in Breaking Bad and learning more about him and his past was great, but I hated knowing how low he has to be by the end for Breaking Bad to make sense. The higher he climbed in the show, the more of a tragedy it became. Just had to put it down some time near the end of Part 2 when he started doing stuff to his brother.
On the one hand I do still want to know what happens to his brother, but on the other hand I hate watching a car crash I know is about to happen before its shown the first signs of drifting into the wrong lane and (mentally) shouting at the screen to stop making stupid decisions.
Worth mentioning that although I acknowledge Breaking Bad would not really happen at all if not for Walter and his pride, but I still despise how much he lets his pride destroy him over and over again. As such I also don’t particularly care for the later seasons of Breaking Bad, but at least with those I didn’t really know the end so I didn’t know how much it was going to keep going downhill beforehand. Oddly enough for this reason I feel like I may have enjoyed Better Call Saul more before having watched Breaking Bad.
