@TivadarDanka Unless the father had 10 camels.

This is a problem, as they cannot split 17 camels into 1/2, 1/3, and 1/9 without cutting some in half. So, they turn to the wise neighbor for advice.

Behold one of the mightiest tools in mathematics: the camel principle. I am dead serious. Deep down, this tiny rule is the cog in many methods. Ones that you use every day. Here is what it is, how it works, and why it is essential:

What would you do if you found that your conversations had become autoreferencial? Would you provide the answers you're seeking or just a confirmation of the same questions?

@pravi_py Only when it does compile.

Do software developers believe in God?

@karomancer If you do bad things, it doesn't mean you are a bad person. If you have bad thoughts, it always means that you are a bad thinker.

Are we more defined by our actions or our thoughts?

@antalova_janka While a swift pat on the shoulder is ok for your morale, it doesn't add to your future.

@antalova_janka In the end, it's just what you know or not. Either you have a casual conversation in a bar or in an interview. While it is saddening for the outcome, you should ask yourself what you need to do to make your career boost. Start from this experience and move on.

I just had the most embarrassing interview 🥴 They told me it was just a get-to-know-you interview, so you can imagine the shock on my face when the head of the IT department showed up and started asking me technical questions out of the blue. Literally just bombarding me with questions like what is the difference between an inner-join and a left-join, what is a static method in PHP, etc. I couldn't answer half the stuff he asked and I felt so incredibly embarrassed and stupid that I just wanted to melt through the chair and disappear into thin air. Good lord, it was painful. I understand that he purposefully asked me questions to see my level of competence so he wouldn't have to bother with me for another round of interviews, but it would have been nice to be notified that it was gonna be a tech interview. As I was leaving, the whole time, there was this voice telling me 'see, you can't do this, you don't know anything, you're just pretending to be a coder'... I know I'm not the only one who's been in a situation like this but I need to vent a little 😭

@karomancer Anything with a large furry head, small nose and mouth, no fangs or claws, and large eyes. Also, it should be able to ride a bicycle.

What type of appearance for a robot would be disarming, comforting, and thus conducive to therapy?

@karomancer Carina sounds Italian, while Katrina is German. Choose your poison.

TMW you wait over a year for your ranking and they spell your name wrong on the certificates 🥲

@shanselman Let it bee.

OK, worst nightmare come true, literally trapped in elevator with a BEE. Well not trapped, but like four or five floors which was not awesome

@LaBombetta76 C'è sbattezzo e sbattezzo, soprattutto quando leggi certe notizie. Devo dire che tra tutti gli albi, preferirei comparire solo in quello dei dinosauri.

C’è qualcuno che ritiene la pratica dello sbattezzo inutile o addirittura ridicola: fermo restando che ognuno è libero di avere la propria opinione, ritengo che un ateo, o semplicemente qualcuno che non si sente più accolto nella comunità dei cristiani, ha tutto il diritto di farlo sia come presa di posizione che per togliersi dagli albi battesimali che vengono tenuti dalla Chiesa che esistono, e sono atti ufficiali, a differenza di quello che afferma qualcuno. E devo dire che di fronte a una risposta così arrogante e piccata da parte di un sacerdote sia una decisione assolutamente condivisibile e giustificata #sbattezzo @UAAR_it

- At the end of the rounds, the verifier makes his statement, whether he is convinced or not.

- At the beginning both actors get the same input. - At each interaction, the verifier challenges the prover, and the last one responds accordingly. - Both actors can make some computation in order to let the interaction go. - This computation can be kept private.

Let's say that Bob wants to know if Alice knows some particular set of integer numbers. They both agree on a particular hash functions. Alice computes an hash and a random number and gives them to Bob. Bob can com put the number using the particular hash function. #fsharp

@loddity Is there a pipe missing after Zero in the line before the last?

Can we imagine to represent an infinite set of values, like all the natural numbers? #fsharp #peano #seq #infinite #fun #LOL

@SerefArikan no, I think is "carbon.now.sh" mixing up with my code, in reality is all on a line

The great thing about Sequence in F# is that the elements in a sequence or sequence expression are computed when required. We can, even, define infinite sequences.

@dsymetweets @ijrussell @chukwuma_xx On which server?

@ijrussell @chukwuma_xx @loddity (just to mention I'm gradually moving off this X thing, so better to @ me on the mastodon)

A hiring manager goes through a stack of resumes, takes half, and trash them.  The colleague asks, "What are you doing?" The manager responds, "I don't like hiring unlucky people." #fsharp #some #none #boh #options #LIFO #LOL
