She made a joke, and I literally can’t stop laughing. I have no idea how the fuck she stays dead pan like that. She asked Professor Brian Cox, “Who are you?” He replied, “I am Dr Brian Cox, professor of particle physics at Oxford.” She replied “Ok, do you prefer Brain, or do you prefer Cox?”
I spat my wine out….and then she held up a picture of Dostoyevsky, and said ”This is one of the greatest moral thinkers of all humanity, the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, seen here enjoying himself at a party.”
Hard to say, some of them seem to understand she’s being ironic, others less so. It’s still funny though. When she asked that professor of theology, that looked like he had a stick up his arse, about sin, and he said “god sees everything” she said “does that include that thing my ex Steve used to do with his thumb?” and she gave a look of disgust, seriously funny stuff.
So … at the risk of making everyone vomit, some cryptocurrency bros have spent $300K to make a 15 foot tall statue of Trump covered in gold leaf which will be unveiled soon at Trump’s Doral golf course property. It depicts him in his defiant fist-in-the-air pose just after the alleged assassination attempt on him during the ‘24 campaign.
I was able to view this link to the NY Times story, as it was a “gift link” via my social media account. Don’t know if the paywall will get in the way here.
Combine this with his demolition of the East Wing / construction of the ridiculous “ballroom”, what he has done to the Oval Office and the rest of the White House, his closure of the Kennedy Center for “total renovation” and his plan to build a triumphal arch in DC, and there seems to be no limit to how much his followers will cater to his tacky grandiosity.
I’m disgusted with the idiots who are lining up to kiss Trump’s ass. Tim Apple has done it so often now that I’ve sworn off ever buying an Apple product again.
My field was embedded real-time, and dynamic memory allocation of any kind was frowned upon. It’s always safer to statically allocate memory at startup and be done with it.
I’m mostly doing exploratory programming, proof-of-concept, and prototyping. No need for real-time performance. Most of the time, Python plus some occasional Bash-scripting gets the job done, and is plenty fast for what I do. Many years ago, C – the macro assembler – covered my programming needs, but I eventually got tired of manually allocating and deallocating shit, the awkward handling of multi-dimensional arrays, and having to chase down difficult-to find indexing errors and out-of-bounds errors. Quite frankly, Fortran 95 was a big step up from C in most aspects except IO handling.
