No Way To Prevent This

Somewhat unrelated, but I recently realized, my micro USB devices have never "worn out" the way my USB-C devices have. I remember having to rig things up, just to get one last charge into my USB-C phone that stopped holding a connection to the charging cable. It actually made me nostalgic for the "plug it in, flip it, plug it in again, realize you still don't have it and flip it again" approach 🤷

Ok, everyone but me seems to get it, so I'll ask. I get everything but the last bit. What does "isomorphic with the complex field" mean? I think I know what isomorphic means from some dabbling I've done in category theory.

Most grammar nazis I know would go with "whom" for the object of a preposition.

I call it AI-washing. And, yes, it's annoying.

Let's make it 7%

Thank you. Not surprising, that even the government is weaponizing the "fine print" :/

Wrong, Bill Ponderosa, obviously ;)

Also, when Donald Trump speaks, it's like Charlie's campaign speech

Wait what?

I'll give this some attention when time permits because this does not make things clearer, lol.

I'll start with what a field is and a complex field 🤞

It goes up to 11.

big ben, parliament!

I got it once I looked up what a Hoth is.

That says more about the fat-ass Texans than the Germans

Well, he ain't really dead, but he ain't like anybody that you've ever met before (never cares)

My pixel was the USB-C phone that I was referencing above 🙈

I'm glad it works for at least some folks :)

A dead body

Hard to take seriously, coming from Frank the Tank

Guix

Ah yeah, I'm in the same situation. My daily driver is arch, but at some point I came across guix and installed it on an old laptop for when I feel like computering in front of the tv or something. Somehow I've even gotten yubi keys to be recognized and usable, but I really feel like someone needs to write an intro to the system-level APIs. The official documentation often feels like it assumes a lot more understanding of this than I do, and I haven't figured out a way to wrap my head around it.

Since it's not mission critical for me though, it's been a fun experience!

wait, I finally get it. 10x developers write 10x lines of code. They're just verbose AF, so that many more lines of liability. That's it. Yeah, I'm not 10x.

I'm not saying, reduce lines of code in favor of readability, but that's a different argument. I've heard it said that no abstraction is better than the wrong abstraction, but are 10xers opting for no abstraction all the time?
