Quote Infoworthless:
Even if these are true -- there’s evidence they aren’t -- programming geezers have valuable wisdom you can’t absorb simply by watching a TED talk on YouTube or fast-forwarding through a MOOC


Fortunately, we have the clickbait press to teach us those lessons. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I'm also wondering if they put the age cutoff in the wrong spot. I'm still closer to getting my BS than to 50 and can check at least 4 of the 5 boxes. I'm not sure if I could ID a swapthrashfest from indexing by drive noise; the behavior of the OS while the former is going on vs the latter is obvious enough that I never tried listening for a different pattern. Shucks | :-\
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.
