"In early 1964, Jean Ziegler, a young Swiss politician, received a phone call from a man claiming to represent Ernesto Che Guevara, the Cuban revolutionary and minister of industry. Che would be in Geneva in March for a UN conference on trade policy, and some comrades had suggested Jean might be his chauffeur during his stay. Was Ziegler available for the gig?

Today, in his tenth decade of life, Ziegler is Switzerland's most notorious public intellectual. That's because over the course of writing about 30 books, serving for close to three decades in the Swiss parliament, and relentlessly crusading for left-wing causes in his free time, Ziegler has made a career of unsparing criticism of his home country, and its outsize influence on the rest of the world.”—Atossa Araxia Abrahamian

„A sweeping crackdown on posts on #Instagram and #Facebook that are critical of Israel — or even vaguely supportive of Palestinians — was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by Drop Site News. The data show that Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023.“

Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.

Claims like "X language is for beginners" or "Y language isn't suitable for real problems" are just dressed-up versions of "X language sucks". They are pseudo-religious arguments, not technical ones. They are not useful in choosing technology to use.

A "real programmer" chooses languages, libraries, and other technical things based on utility, not holy wars (like "vi vs. Emacs", or "tabs vs. spaces").

e.g. For different problems and situations, you might choose a language because it is technically suited to a particular problem class. Or you might choose it because the group to work on the problem has deep experience with it, even though another language is slightly better suited to the problem. Or you might pick one based on a dozen other factors - and usually you will actually use more than one in making the choice.

Hollow assessments like "Python is for beginners" aren't useful. The people who make such statements are generally not particularly well-versed in the thing they are criticizing, and possibly not with programming/engineering in general.

If you want real assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of a language or other part of a tech stack, they're out there - but they will be articles and essays, not sentences.

Mal wieder was Foto-technisches. Und zwar geht es um #Bildbearbeitung. Das erste Bild ist unbearbeitet, Nummer 2&3 habe ich in #Darktable "entwickelt". Welche Variante gefällt Dir; und warum? Konstruktive #Kritik erwünscht!

Something photo-technical again. And it's about #image editing. The first picture is unedited, number 2&3 I “developed” in #Darktable. Which version do you like; and why? Constructive #criticism welcome!

Berglandschaft in Norwegen. Der Himmel ist mit dunklen Wolken behangen, man sieht aber auch blau zwischedurch schimmern. Es ist Spätherbst und dementsprechend ist die die Szene stark eingefärbt: gelb, orange und braun-grüne Farben dominieren das Bild. Am Horinzont sieht man mehrere Berge und dazwischen verläuft ein Talgrund, welcher von einem Fluss ins Gelände gefressen wurde. Mountain landscape in Norway. The sky is covered in dark clouds, but you can also see blue shimmering in between. It is late autumn and the scene is accordingly very colorful: yellow, orange and brown-green colors dominate the picture. Several mountains can be seen on the horizon and between them runs a valley floor that has been carved into the terrain by a river.
