A life well lived is a life worth giving up.

Looks like counting in lambda calculus using functions

[Math Files @Math_files]

While mathematics geniuses such as Newton, Leibniz and Euler deserve to be acclaimed for their voluminous ground-breaking achievements, we should not forget the signal contributions of some of their predecessors in mathematics.

François Viète (1540–1603) was a French lawyer, politician, diplomat and amateur mathematician. One of his many mathematical contributions is the expression of π as an infinite product involving only the integer 2, in an infinite nesting of square roots.

Viète’s expression marked a milestone in the history of mathematics. It was the first equation incorporating the concept of an infinite process, even though it was not explicitly spelt out as such. The dots (…) in the equation denotes continuing the process indefinitely.

If we think that the expression looks difficult, remember Viète published it in 1593, more than four hundred years ago!

I have met people who love php (as in they awake looking forward to writing some PHP code) but I have never in my life met anyone remotely excited about Java.

They're usually sad muted devs with terrible taste

[Exodus 🇮🇱 @ExodusPgame]

Java was always the most problematic language I ever had to deal with for shipped apps.

Even external apps like Informatica head awful memory leaks.

@blightersort It's not as important to her as it is to you. It's a movie

@TowardsSun22 Well, I think they're stuck in South Africa attempting apartheid.

Software development is risk management.

Just picked up "Risk-First Software Development" — a really interesting way to think about how software actually gets built.

Can’t relate.

@TheAnglo_ During the height of colonialism, European colonialists confiscated arms from African natives and subjugated them under guns and forced labor, not forgetting the killing of the strongest young men. Oh, they took their women too. SA got independence in 1994

@jimmy_dore @MassieforKY Fascinating, you mean it wasn't off before?

@CassandraRules Trump was a Trojan horse, you're still being played (by thinking he seeks the approval of those who hate him). You're the one that thinks they hated him.

@imperiumpress1 I don't agree with some of the casting choices but the level of racism thrown towards specific actors is making me want to watch the movie as spite the racists

[ג'רארד מארק @KataMapkon]

@MattWalshBlog Cultural appropriation aside, what gives you the impression that Helen of Troy looked like whatever you reckon she looked like? Last I checked, Greece was pretty multicultural at the time

“police arrest man who is bleeding to death because the stabber claimed he was racist”

its literally impossible to satirize the UK anymore. even the most extreme, hamfisted memes are just real things that actually happen now

[ג'רארד מארק @KataMapkon]

@FightWithMemes What you omit out is the eventual conclusion of the comparison: that the 1st world tends towards data centers, labor/human exploitation, Epstein class, nuclear weapons and a return to the 3rd world (in a 1st world form).

@Cernovich Stop tweeting and do something about it

[ג'רארד מארק @KataMapkon]

@UnfthmblyBased @tyleraloevera Current immigrants in other countries head to homeland to make videos castigating immigrants in their country. Yes, I find that oddly ironic

Money shot: “Services shouldn't ban people from using arbitrary hardware and operating systems in the first place. Google's security excuse is clearly bogus when they permit devices with no patches for 10 years… It's for enforcing their monopolies via GMS licensing, that's all.”
