Either “Boredom: After some time you have seen basically everything.” or “Can’t keep up: The world changes so fast, and I’m, stuck in a mindset I acquired in 1543”.
And: Bureaucratic nightmare. “We have you on file as being born in 1924, but you don’t really look like a centennial. Can I see your passport instead of that of your great-grandfather, please?”
Let’s put it this way: You can produce unreadable code in basically any language. With Perl, it is just a bit easier.
And of course if you have the discipline of a good programmer, even your casual Perl programs should be readable. That’s what differenciates a good programmer from a hacker.
I have to admit that using CL-PPCRE does not really help me understanding the regexp any better. But this may be because I deal with complex regexps for decades now, and I just read them.
This actually depends on the kind of project. In larger and longterm projects I write my comments in English. In quick jobs like writing a source code generator or data swabbler that I need once or relatively short term, I use German. It does not make much of a difference for me, though, and I have a script that walks over a source tree to find some common German words just in case I had written something in German by accident.
There are two problems with that: First, what is acceptable or not is a cultural thing and varies from country to country. There are actually countries where anything depicting humans or mentioning women is NSFW. In other countries they wonder “why has this been marked NSFW? They don’t even f_ck!”.
Second, even with atking this into account, and if we concentrate on an American and European context which has mostly comparable ideas of morality, people still mark things as NSFW where I ask “Why?”, and other posts are not marked NSFW where I also ask “Why?” - if you understand what I mean.
So any usage of an NSFW tag has a certain ambuguity to it, and can only seen as a hint, as a personal thing to use or not use as the poster evaluates it.
High blood pressure. I initially got beta-blockers, which my heart didn’t like that much.
Yes, me too. Not a good experience, I’ll rate it 1/10, not recommendable.
And yes, quite some of your life passes before your eyes in those seconds. It is indeed very intense.
That is a thing if the medication you get does not really work out for you. I remember waking up one night a week before that where I started the blood pressure recorder, and it measured a heartbeat of 26 BPM. And that was when I was actually out of the valley and had enough energy to press the button.
Heart stopped beating. I could feel the lack of oxygen despite breathing like mad. Thought “Fuck, tomorrow my mom is going to find me dead in my bed” (I still was a student living close enough to university to commute). Luckily, one of the built-in safety mechanisms kicked in and my heart restarted. Spent some weeks in hospital after that so they could find me a better medication than the one I was using.
My source is my grandfather, who learned this during his vocational training, which predates the Nazis by quite a few years.
I daresay that 99% of “English-speakers” never wasted a thought on why the Third Reich actually was the third.
Never underestimate the incompetence of people, especially in the US, with regards to history. Just look how they are basically trying to recreate Germany’s 1933 at the moment.
Well, but is actually is not Nazi language in this case.
Just like a number of very rich and well armed wackos want to bring back Trump in the US.
Short: Yes, of course. Long: Well, this is really a long answer, depending on your needs…
I have to admit that this is rather old. So old, in fact, that it does not refer to the Third Reich but the Kaiserreich.
The German version as actually survived its original time frame: “So lang das Deutsche Reich besteht, wird Schraube fest nach rechts gedreht” - “As long as the German Reich exists, a screw is tightened by turning right”
Thanks! Now I know what that meme is about.
At least those were a) just banner ads and b) not as annoying as modern JS/HTML5/popup/popover ads are. You just scrolled down a few pixel, and had 100% information.
Actually, both.
