@daarin @Aakerbeere
überspezifische ausschreibungen, wie für doktorandenstellen?

ich bin mir sicher, beim ÖR würde nie sowas passieren. da gibts nur manchmal falsche rechnungen oder ähnliches: n-tv.de/panorama/Lange-Haft-fu

im übrigen, gewollt witzig den gesprächspartner der ungebildetheit (ziemlich klassistisch!) bezichtigen mag bei der clique gut ankommen und gängiger stil sein, zeugt aber von schwachem charakter.

Despite its widespread adoption, some notable programmers have criticized the C++ language, including Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Joshua Bloch, Ken Thompson and Donald Knuth.

As expressed by Joshua Bloch:

"I think C++ was pushed well beyond its complexity threshold, and yet there are a lot of people programming it. But what you do is you force people to subset it. So almost every shop that I know of that uses C++ says, "Yes, we're using C++ but we're not doing multiple-implementation inheritance and we're not using operator overloading.” There are just a bunch of features that you're not going to use because the complexity of the resulting code is too high. And I don't think it's good when you have to start doing that. You lose this programmer portability where everyone can read everyone else's code, which I think is such a good thing."

Donald Knuth (1993, commenting on pre-standardized C++), who said of Edsger Dijkstra that "to think of programming in C++" "would make him physically ill":

"The problem that I have with them today is that... C++ is too complicated. At the moment, it's impossible for me to write portable code that I believe would work on lots of different systems, unless I avoid all exotic features. Whenever the C++ language designers had two competing ideas as to how they should solve some problem, they said "OK, we'll do them both". So the language is too baroque for my taste."

> If they were a non-profit in Germany this could be actionable discrimination...

not considering someone who actively tried to destroy your career and social reputation is discriminatory. i'm not sure the german "legal" system is that much transformed to doublethink already, even if they certainly are doing their best.

> Don't do shit with people that protect assholes like :thinking_rms: !

cancel rms at your own peril. drew tried it recently. all the hate only got him a good case of burnout it seems :blobcatshrug:

@Aakerbeere oooder einfach zwangsbezahlten ÖR abschaffen :slowparrot: dann muss ich nicht google mitbezahlen weil irgendein manager da zu korrupt (sehr wahrscheinlich) oder dumm (auch sehr wahrscheinlich) ist.

I was one of the candidates nominated to expand the FSF's board.

I didn't make it past the first round.

The only thing the board asked me about related to my signing of rms-open-letter.github.io/appe

Here are the candidates who made it to the next stage. I note that none of them signed the letter.

@joeyh
- participates in a defamatory campaign against RMS and the whole FSF board based on lies
- gets nominated for board
- is asked questions about said defamatory campaign
- don't get past first round
- *surprised pikatchu face

@Elfie i always had problems with math because of the presentation (notations and stuff) not the contents. it's incredibly frustrating imho!

try to cancel RMS, have "burnout". what goes around comes around.

@Elfie you WILL do the math shit and you WILL pass the math shit test! :blobcatgun:

RT @richfelgate@twitter.com

Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil@twitter.com supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU@twitter.com press accreditation visible around my neck.

Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".

✔️ chicken pen almost complete (trim work needs to be finished). These girls don't know what hit them they get so much sunshine in the house and it's kinda funny to see them sitting on their perches looking out the transom .

@samuraikid i won't look that stuff up, i'll only get high blood pressure. i already know everything is corrupt and evil :/

@truthaddict it's almost frightening how spot on this feels. thanks for sharing! :)
