Close to the prettiest Caddy's ever made. Dad had a pink one close to that year parked out by the barn when I was a kid. It must have been junk, because it never ran, although he says it did when I was a baby.

As the creator of programming languages such as Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C# and TypeScript, and highly influential in building development environments such as Microsoft’s .NET, Hejlsberg has had an impact on millions of software developers. All hail St. Anders!
I really wish I could completely remember his reaction to a developer requesting Java-style checked exceptions. All I remember is that it was the one time I've seen him look kind of angry.

Bravo, Anders:Quote: we already have like one of the world’s largest programming languages, depending on how you define programming languages in Excel. And Excel, you could argue is sort of a low-code/no-code way of writing programs, people do run programs, their spreadsheets are programs. imho, (the author of the article, or, whoever chose the title) referring to Anders as "czar" is a snarky put-down.

As part of our ongoing commitment to improve the NuGet ecosystem, today we are excited to introduce a couple new features on NuGet.org to help you determine if a package is compatible with the target frameworks you know and love. Does it work with left-handed, .NET Core Pro, in purple? Size XXL?

Reddit is currently the most popular search engine. The only people who don’t know that are the team at Reddit, who can’t be bothered to build a decent search interface. "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
I have no idea what to say here. People using a site-specific search filter and Google means that people aren't using Google?
Posted here because it's being pretty big on some parts of the interwebs, and maybe someone can explain this to me.

Led by an idiot who is full of himself, and incapable of mastering his tools? Yeah, Google is going downhill, but reddit????????? WTF??? And every time I try another engine, the results are even worse.

Thank you. I thought I was going further crazy when I read some of the comments saying he made “good points”.

Why bother with state-of-the-art hacking when easier methods work just fine? The weakest part in the security chain is usually between the chair and the monitor, in front of the keyboard.

Research lab OpenAI's top scientist has made a controversial claim, one that could upend the artificial intelligence (AI) market and already has other scientists up in arms It wants to play a game?
To be fair: one scientist made a wild supposition. It couldn't be for publicity, could it?

Current neural networks may be conscious--slightly.
Even so, it's scary, because it would surpass a lot of humans.

Well,
What people should be the most concerned about is the confidence humans have in 'artificial intelligence'.

He must be one of these people: Why people think total nonsense is really deep[^]
<Edit>
Just realized those tweets may have been generated by an AI and he mistook the nonsense as profound and now he thinks AI has developed a consciousness

Well... I can give you that I can't start with the third one, but the two first tweets...
"Ego is (mostly) the enemy" >> I would say that's true, many of the biggest moments in history are due to someone's ego.
"risk minimization maximizes risk" >> Risk minimization is for many people the "let the AI handle it, it can take decissions faster than humans" and other similar thinking, and that's actually the risk maximization at the same time, because if an AI goes rogue (at the moment not possible because no really AI exists) if a system is not properly programmed / configured (we see it almost daily in this forum) or gets hacked (every second day in this forum), because once the system gets out of control can get / do a lot of damage before you have it back in your hands.

Also, is ego the enemy or is some world leader who'd wage war and plummet millions into war and misery just for his own bloated ego (or just about any manager, on a smaller scale) the enemy?
Maybe it's not ego that's the problem, but something else, like reduced connections between the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which isn't as catchy
Nelek wrote: risk minimization maximizes risk If that's the case you're really bad at estimating risks
What you're really saying is you're minimizing the risk of A happening, but that will introduce us to risk B or C.
However, the risks of B and/or C happening are smaller than A happening or they're not as harmful as A.
Or maybe A is just not feasible anymore, like slow manual labor that can be replaced with fast automated systems, risk may increase, but the increase in output far outweighs the additional risk (but that's not really risk minimization).
I'm about 99% sure this guy is only saying these things to look interesting to stroke his ego, who is the enemy, as we know

The third one was the one that made most sense to me.
The first one is a platitude, and the second one is self-contradictory.
