Lord help me I'm starting to enjoy coding in C .
I find myself saying "if you're writing *that* kind of C you've done something wrong at the design stage"
I caught myself feeling grateful that the language punishes you with unreadability and untestability when you do too much in one function
Is this... Stockholm Syndrome?

Given your #emoji picker on your platform, what are the most precariously placed #icons that can take an intended good interaction and make it go horribly wrong? Explain why.
See the following two examples.

Ich wollte ein Zugticket nach Hamburg Dammtor kaufen für Ende Dezember, aber die Webseite der Deutschen Bahn lässt mich noch nicht, wegen Fahrplanwechsel. OK, googlen wir mal ab, wann das geht.
Die Google KI-Antwort ist... aus der Zukunft?!

„Made in Europe”? Bei Batterien ist das meist Fehlanzeige. 🪫🇪🇺
Laut einer Studie der Unternehmensberatung Deloitte war Europas Anteil an der weltweiten Batterieproduktion 2024 verschwindend gering: nur 13 Prozent – und selbst diese entfallen zum überwiegenden Teil auf Fabriken chinesischer und südkoreanischer Hersteller.

If anyone needs something great to watch, I humbly submit Landman.
Written by Taylor Sheridan (best known for Yellowstone), it is spectacularly good—great dialogue, interesting characters, beautifully shot, instantly immersive. Just like Yellowstone. He somehow manages to capture a sense of America that I remember growing up looking in from the outside.
TS is creating some of the very best stuff for grown-ups.

Landman
Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West-Texas and a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.

Here’s the lightning sketch of Paul’s Treatise Against Efficiency that I’ve never written:
1. Efficiency is asymptotically inefficient: as costs approach zero, the cost of further reducing them approaches infinity.
2. Efficiency prioritizes the measurable over the difficult-to-measure.
3. Efficiency prioritizes what those in power see (or imagine) over on-the-ground reality.
4. Following from 2 and 3, efficiency reduces the amount and quality of information flowing into a human system.
5. Efficiency foments institutional inflexibility.
6. By removing slack, efficiency causes small failures to cascade more readily and increases the risk of catastrophic failure.
7. Following rom 4, 5, and 6, efficiency trades small costs for massive risks: from failures, from missed opportunities, and from inability to adjust.
8. Efficiency, when pushed, strangles the emergent phenomena that in the long term create all new things of value.
9. Thus, although it can be a by-product of evolution, efficiency as a goal in itself strangles evolution.
10. Efficiency as a goal strangles joy.

OK, maybe I went too nerdy 🤓 on this one? 🤣
