The interview candidate, a junior, said scrotum meeting instead of scrum meeting.
That is when your first language is not English. One English word is just as good as another. We could agree and call it that. Perhaps it would make more sense.

@Grady_Booch I had so many answers during my life to the question of life’s meaning, why I should live. Thanks to these times I found the ultimate answer:
Why not?
All other answers I had are obsolete.
English
There is an executive order defining the gender, which through f-up defines everybody as a woman.
Now taste it. The first male born but woman (so transgender) president of the USA is (or was if they correct the definition) republican.

@Grady_Booch My shares are vested but company share fell from 700 to 200 with the Russian war and I am again 10+ years farther from retirement.

@SethDillon Can you imagine someone can despise a person and still not wish for them to be hurt or die? Life and death are in the hands of God. Democrats expressed sympathy after they characterized Trump as they did show they did not think being God. Unlike you.
English
If Trump were as bad as Biden and other Democrats say he is — if he were a tyrant on par with Hitler himself — then why would they be grateful to hear he's safe and doing well? Either their characterizations of Trump are false or their sympathy is.

I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.

@RolfLampa @Grady_Booch What does this have to do with the existence of God? The Pope excommunicated Professor Gyarmati. So, it probably does have something to do with it.
English
@RolfLampa @Grady_Booch Professor Gyarmati from TU Budapest said 50 years ago that the world had reached maximum entropy, but in a small region (observable universe), entropy randomly decreased. (The increase in entropy is only a statistical law; entropy can randomly decrease in one place.)
English
@Grady_Booch I came to the same conclusion, but for me, it is more important that the axiom system I live in is not contradictory. It can be a bit more complex instead. I also send my greetings to Mr Gödel.

@lucianct2k2 @aalmiray The fact that the timeout exists makes you think. After that, you may still use get(), but it is good that it made you think.

When obtaining the value of a java.util.concurrent.Future, which method do you prefer?

@KurmanovaAigul Мы были более миллиона сперматозоидов, и я был тем, кто смог проникнуть в яйцеклетку и стать рожденным человеком.

Расскажите о своём самом крутом везении?
Готовясь к выпускному экзамену по философии в универе, я выучила только один билет по философии. Это было учение Фомы Аквинского. Из десятков билетов я вытянула именно его и чуть не заорала. Ответила без подготовки и получила «отлично».

@mnot I implemented a multithreaded HTTP server 1999 to serve banner gifs from scratch in C. It could deliver multi-million hits daily and has operated for nine years in Hungary. It was probably the largest hit-load server in the country at the time.
English
If you implement or use HTTP at scale, you might be interested in attending. It's 2-3 days of lightly structured discussion; we rely on the depth of experience in the room to make it valuable.
We also welcome students and want to diversify our community.

@Grady_Booch In Idaho all male members of the house should referred as “she”. First of all they created a law to ignore their preferred pronouns and second, they are afraid of pronouns, so they are all ungendered possies.
English
@AndyXAndersen @Grady_Booch There are more than 8 billion catalogs of the world. We just have read any and each of them.
English
@Grady_Booch AGI is not 2-3 years ahead. But energy use proportion is small.
AGI will not arrive from neat academic algorithms. We have to catalog the world. That is not cheap.

I created a small experimental library to execute Java stream operations parallel using VirtualThreads. The article about it is

I do not feel it like "this is the way to go", rather "I played with it, what do you think?" approach.

@BrianGoetz @speakjava The company’s value is the present value of its (discounted is redundant, included in PV) **believed** future cash flow.
English
@speakjava You see, your problem is you are trying to apply simple economics, like "a company's value is the present value of its discounted future cash flows."
The people buying this stonk *really* know nothing about simple economics, and/or don't care. They're riding the meme wave.
English
Assume I know nothing about simple economics.
Now explain to me how a company that generated $4.1m in revenue in 2023 (down 38% y-on-y in Q4) and lost $58.2m last year...
...is worth nearly $9 billion (yes, billion, not million)?
