@IonSourcery @bradlander Arab Christians don’t usually name children Ahmad. Calling one Ahmad is like calling a Muslim Jesus. It’s possible but very rare, often due to a vow after infertility.

@dannydanon France colonized Algeria from 1830 to 1962. 132 years. Then the eviction notice arrived.

There's no music during the firebombing scene in Grave of the Fireflies. There's no cinematic contrivances to make the scene more exciting or heart rending. It's eerily silent. Because that's what Takahata remembers from living through it as a child. The silence.

Many people argue that large machine learning models simply predict the next most likely word in a sentence, but this statement is reductive and misleading. It's like suggesting that a bestselling novel is simply a sequence of words, neglecting the engaging narrative and 1/2

Incredible! Scientists harness a molecular syringe used by viruses and bacteria to deliver proteins into human cells. This technique could revolutionize drug delivery and even pave the way for CRISPR genome editing.

@GreenFieldCoder In TDD, tests are a means to an end - development. Ask @KentBeck about it.
Code coverage can be a is a misleading metric. The focus should be on how and what you test, rather than just achieving high coverage.

@Grady_Booch I've got just the person for the job! One of my ex-colleagues once kicked the power cable of a network core router, and it caused an internet service provider to go completely dark, leaving millions of users without internet.

Since the inception of the software industry, attempts have been made to impose traditional architectural frameworks on software development. This approach is premised on the notion that there are those who think without building (Architect) 1/3

[Amer @amerj]

and others who build without thinking (Developers.) This method appeals to management because it gives the illusion of control and reinforces the hierarchy and the power dynamic that they aim to uphold.

As is often the case, the reality is complex and does not conform 2/3

just about getting a computer to do the work; it's about fundamentally altering the processes, and that can be a terrifying prospect for the typically cautious bureaucrats.

The concept of digitalization in Germany is a fascinating and confusing one. The term has become so all-encompassing that it's almost lost all meaning.
Everything is already digital; even the outdated

[Amer @amerj]

fax machines that still find their place in the bureaucratic realm are in fact digital. I believe the term digitalization brushes over the fact that true transformation involves changing the way things are done, not just making a simple digital facsimile of a paper form. It's not
