Blood Coast Season 2 - Netflix Series

Blood Coast: Season 2 - Official Teaser Trailer | Netflix
MVSRS

Season 2 carries on from season 1. Early on our gang (the police narcotics unit) interrupts an altercation between a couple of thugs from rival gangs. One of the thugs is Mehdi who happens to be a childhood friend of Tatoo, one of the coppers. On account of this friendship Tattoo lets Mehdi go. The entire rest of the show has everyone regretting that, especially Tattoo. While Tattoo has grown up to be a law abiding citizen, Mehdi has grown up to be a wild man bent on gaining respect and he doesn't care how many people he kills to get it. He is a genuine, certified, piece of shit. You know early on that his behavior is going to result in him dying an early death. Unfortunately that doesn't happen, so you are going to have to wait for Season 3 to see him (a) shot down in a gun battle with the police, (b) shot down in a gun battle with a rival gang of thugs, or (c) his older brother Yassine finally gets tired of his shit and executes him. No sign of it yet, his brother is totally devoted, but even there are limits to what even the most devoted will tolerate.

Programming

the true reason C++ always wins
LaurieWired

When I was in school umpteen years ago, I took a course about oddball programming languages. It was kind of like a survey course. We had to write simple programs in half a dozen weird languages. Lisp was one, I think Snobol may have been another. I remember I had a hard time coming to grips with Lisp. What I ended up doing when I was trying to write a program is - I would step through it mentally, paper and pencil.  There were like two operators, one was CAN and the other was, I dunno, CANT, maybe? Doesn't matter, what did matter was how many arguments there were. If there was only one argument, they did one thing, if there was more than one, they did something else, so in my head, I treated these operators as if statements. By walking through all the possibilities I could see what was going to happen and what went wrong and fix the problem. Seemed like a lot of extra mental effort for not much gain. Just use a normal language that has if statements so you can see the possibilities.

I suppose if you had immersed yourself in the Lisp religion you might learn to think in terms of CAN and CANT, but I wasn't having it.

P. S. The two Lisp operators are CONS and CAR

Two Part Dream

Last night I had a little dream. In this dream there was a lovely young woman who played the flute. That's all I remember about that. This morning I am taking a nap. I only got six hours last night which is not quite enough, so this morning I take a nap. My sleep for the last three nights has been miserable, a couple hours of sleep followed by two or three hours of being awake followed by a couple more hours of maybe sleep or maybe just lying still with my eyes closed. Wretched in any case. But last night six hours! And then a nap! Life is glorious! Anyway, back to my story. While I am napping I have a dream. In this dream I go into a shop and get a dish of ice cream. I like this ice cream so much that I go back the next day, but this time I ask for a single scoop of ice cream and half a dozen cupcakes. Once again we have a lovely young woman who looks suspiciously like the flute player from last night. When I ask her is she plays the flute she dismissively denies it, so I ask if maybe she has a sister who plays the flute and, surprised, she exclaims that she does. Ah sleep, perchance to dream.

The Real Reason We Left the Gold Standard

I don't think he ever tells us what 'The Real Reason' is, but he does give us some history, past and current mining, and a look at the world view. Pretty cool.

Good Morning South Africa

I looked for a video about current deep (2 miles) mining being done, but I did not find anything I liked. I found a bunch of stuff I didn't like: AI slop, stuff in low resolution, and one long one by Simon Whistler, but I'm not in the mood to listen to Simon today. This video doesn't talk about mining so much as the political history, and that part was significant.
