Besides life imprisonment without parole, what other punishment is appropriate for those who use the term "compile" to refer to what an assembler does (which is literally "assembling" not "compiling")?
I participate because I am not currently employed and have nobody else in the dev space to interact with, and even though this place is pretty parasocial, I still like it.
How much industry experience do you actually have and, with that in mind, do you regularly make opinionated comments authoritatively and beyond your expertise?
It has a piquant nose, not dissimilar to a guavesque beverage i once sampled in Mozambique, before the place was overrun by tourists.
What am I drinking?
I was cycling and I see an egg shaped cloud of about a million tiny flies across the street. About 3 meters tall and 2 meters wide. It got my attention because it had such sharp edges and had an interesting pattern of waves. I stopped to look at it and thought it looked quite organized. Then I felt it looking back at me. I notice that kind of thing, like someone looking at me from behind. I'm never scared but it scared me a bit.... you won't believe what happened next. The cloud turned into a perfect circle with a dark outline. In the middle of the circle a second circle appeared then between the inner and outer circles 6 more circles formed with the borders touching the inner and outer circle. In the circles lines formed, the center one faded from dense on the edge to empty in the middle. Each of the outer circles had a different geometry to it. I was terrified, I've never been so scared in my life. I jumped on my bicycle and cycled as if my life depended on it with my heart beating hard enough to feel it. 200 meters away I shouted to myself, what the hell was that!
I've taken some liberties with the content of the circles. Only the spiral on the left and the circle filled with circles are somewhat correct.
20 years later, trying to figure out what the hell, I think I've provided a common point for all of them to look at which triggered a common pattern of flight. It was definitely a potent trick worth remembering as I almost pooped myself.
Never told anyone, I mean? Why bother? The response is to predictable.
It was the most random thing I could think of to ask at the time. It is apparently pungent enough to be banned on public transit in some Asian countries, though I couldn't tell you which one(s). I've never had it myself, but they were cutting a large amount of it in the fruit section of a supermarket in Shenzhen once when I was there and that alone was an interesting experience. Some claim it's delicious and it just might be, but hoo boy its smell is strong.
