Interesting to see but I’m pretty sure the music in that video died hundreds of years ago and only now walks the earth to torture the living

Maybe they spot the machines and artifacts left on Mars and the moon and go with robotics or metal poly compounds/alloys. If it’s just Earth maybe plastic or concrete or transistors.

It’s good to have some experience with them even just to know what tools may work best for a situation. I’d suggest something close to what you already know, C# -> F#, java -> clojure or scala, declaritive -> ML or Haskell, etc. dynamic vs static and strong vs weak typing systems can have a big impact on how you think about programs. Debuggers vs REPLs vs compiler warnings vs generic logs are all going to be different too on top of the paradigm like functional that will have different approaches. Minimizing the other differences makes it easier to focus on and learn the functional stuff.

If you look at samples of a bunch and none are clicking I’d start with any that has dynamic typing, REPL style like common lisp, scheme, elixir. They are simple to get started with coming from python dynamic typing and options for interpreter & compiled, and you can add dependency management and interop and other stuff on top later. RDMS SQL is generally a static typed, declaritive style language. If you want a similar functional language look at ML, Haskell. But even in functional languages you’ll usually use a library or driver or language feature specifically for interacting with RDMS, you may use pandas in python and datomic in clojure.

The big things to focus on are understanding common idioms like combining functions in call chains using basic functions map, reduce, & filter, etc, creating new objects with charges instead of changing in place (non mutable), and higher order functions/function composition that lack of mutability restriction allows.

So many people never even look at calculus & how it addresses infinities, it’s got this reputation as difficult but that’s just because of all the different algorithms and rules to learn for different cases, but you can teach the basic operations and build intuitions of differentiation and integration to grade schoolers.

If you just take them they get ornery

You can’t have a free and just democracy with the wealth inequality of billionaires, these systems are incompatible.

I prefer to cut the pinky finger off of infants instead. It hasn’t hurt them at all not having a pinky finger, it’s not the whole hand just the tip. And it’s not just cosmetic because I dislike pinky fingers aesthetically, it’s healthier too, do you know how many people get pinky finger infections every year?

There’s multiple species definitions and none of them are very satisfying because it’s trying to impose a clear distinction where one doesn’t really exist.

species categorized by fertile offspring want to describe a situation like this with clear, distinct boundaries between populations:

But evolutionary groups tend to be more like gradients & gaps like this:

You can try adding specific boundaries to the 2nd, but there’ll always be some weird edges that don’t really fit, like asexual reproducers for example.

No, but the criteria is 1. Interbreeding is possible and 2. Can produce fertile offspring

By this categorization llamas and camels are the same species as they can sometimes produce fertile offspring

Set to away

Maybe ask some of your coworkers for help demonetizing, brainstorm hobbies with no payoff or audience to grift, put on a reflective HV vest or hat to screw up advertising slop commentary videos, play licensed popular music, swear and refer to drugs and ask people on camera how much they make, leave copies of Bertrand Russell’s In Praise of Idleness in the break room.

Slightly chilled, bubbly flower water is good, but what about some hot bush water, or hot seed water.

There are a ton of organizations that run their own IT that aren’t selling or distributing software that can be overlooked for a career building and maintaining software. Banking, sports leagues, utilities, logistics, grocery & restaurant chains, etc. A lot of small businesses also can’t do it themselves or hire a full time staff for it so they hire it out to a part time contractor that covers multiple smaller orgs in an area. My first job that included programming was 1/3 software dev, 1/3 IT support, and 1/3 running a print shop in a warehouse.

You could make a process tree like pstree, something with an easily checked output and fast to test is usually a good starting project

I think I got the search terms reversed

Oof that is a rough one. If they are just absorbing the penalties it sounds like the penalties need to be increased to make it more financially necessary to change the incentive to actually do the work, but in the meantime I’d just collect and report on as much data as I could.
