I know people don't like the technical interview, but for me, it's not about knowledge but process. I don't care that you don't have something memorized or don't know the syntax without your linter. I want to see how you figure it out. I was interviewing for a junior web developer, and I gave them the task of fizzbuzz. I told them it was OK to use Google or any other tool. The interview ended with the prospect in tears. I felt very bad and told them they could finish it outside the interview and send it to us (they didn't). Somehow, they were still on our shortlist.

NGL, that is how I first learned of the song, and I do love it.

In an Islamist government, making a nation, who is openly hostile to their Muslim population, a major trader partner may not play well.

It is entertaining to consider that modems were just computers screaming at each other in shrill voices.

Correct, capitalism is just a system intended to prioritize capital using markets. Science is a methodology of determining truth. As a method, it is tautologically "perfect" because all failures are to be accounted for by the very methodology. The choices that capitalist systems make and socialist systems would make may be different, but the decision-making process itself could be run scientifically.

Define healthy. Nicotine is a stimulant and does improve mental acuity.

I would argue that most magical fantasy eventually starts treating magic as science. If you live in a world where chanting can summon water, that can be studied scientifically.

It would be quite hard for magic to be unscientific. I've bandied about a story setting where magic works until you figure out why it works, then it stops working. This eventually devolved into a reverse arms race where factions are researching magic to deny its use to their enemies.

The question is, with what currency? The Cuban dollar is not really worth anything outside Cuba, so they can only rely on exports to fund currency needed to buy imports.

Quantum computing got us the Donald Biden superposition

Remember: the presidency ages people. How long would he be president?

Oddly, this is something that didn't seem to happen to Trump. We all know why of course, he didn't actually do the job of being President.

Looks like he was operating on T-Rex rules and thought minimal movement would keep him invisible.
