“How may the compulsive programmer be distinguished from a merely dedicated, hard-working professional programmer? First, by the fact that the ordinary professional programmer addresses himself to the problem to be solved, whereas the compulsive programmer sees the problem mainly as an opportunity to interact with the computer. The ordinary computer programmer will usually discuss both his substantive and his technical programming problem with others. He will generally do lengthy preparatory work, such as writing and flow diagramming, before beginning work with the computer itself. His sessions with the computer may be comparatively short. He may even let others do the actual console work. He develops his program slowly and systematically. When something doesn't work, he may spend considerable time away from the computer, framing careful hypotheses to account for the malfunction and designing crucial experiments to test them. Again, he may leave the actual running of the computer to others. He is able, while waiting for results from the computer, to attend to other aspects of his work, such as documenting what he has already done. When he has finally composed the program he set out to produce, he is able to complete a sensible description of it and to turn his attention to other things. The professional regards programming as a means toward an end, not as an end in itself. His satisfaction comes from having solved a substantive problem, not from having bent a computer to his will.”
—Joseph Weizenbaum, Computer Power and Human Reason, 1976

Influensers som påstår att högt LDL inte är ett problem vilseleder dig
Det finns två väldigt vanliga ”argument” från de som försöker övertyga dig om att högt LDL inte är något att oroa sig för och att allt fokus på det från läkare och sjukvården är en stor konspiration. Det ena argumentet är det med Ancel Keys och Seven Countries Study som jag gått igenom tidigare. En […]

Domains in the German .de zone are currently hard to reach. The cause seems to be a misconfiguration in DNS, specifically #DNSSEC . #DENIC is working on it.

🧵 Democracy feels like it's in a rough state at the moment across the globe, and we hear various explanations, like polarisation, extremism, disinformation, and loss of trust. But what if those explanations are mainly symptoms and we've been trying to treat them rather than the underlying causes?
