Um, about that...

Yeah, something this big is absolutely not one engineer's fault. Even if that engineer maliciously pushed an update, it's not their fault
it was a complete failure of the organization, and one person having the ability to wreck havoc like this is the failure.
And I actually have some amount of hope that, in this case, it is being recognized as such.
Wonder how many shell scripts written on that OS are still in use today...
For me, a hurdle to get over was trying to understand in the context of my experience of the world. Like, popsci has this whole "is X a wave or a particle? Scientists still don't know..." schtick. And our understanding at some level is, "here's the math to describe this system."
Getting away from always mapping that onto the world we experience is, IMHO, really important. Not that it should be understood solely as math, by any means! But you really need to throw away intuition gained from the macroscopic world we interact with.
My favorite example was looking at reflection coefficients and seeing that an "infinite wall" is the same as an "infinite cliff"
you'll reflect off of both. Which makes zero sense if you imagine driving a bumper car into a wall (bounce back) vs. over an infinite cliff! But it does me make sense in its own way, and after building up intuition, so do other "weird" and counterintuitive things.
Prickly pear cactus are called tuna (maybe just in Spanish?)
I wouldn't want to confuse tuna fish with tuna fruit...
Also, I think tuna fish refers to certain preparation, e.g., as used in a tuna fish sandwich. This is in contrast to sushi ("tuna roll") or a tuna steak, which typically don't have the "fish" qualifier.
*The data do not lie
(I know, it's acceptable to use it as is done in the title, but the cartoon dude seemed to me the sort of fellow who might have opinions about the Latin roots of words and whatnot.)
Reminds me of my good friend, Bigus Dickus.
That's what I love about these sapling trees, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
All these replies and not a single POTUSA reference. Shameful.
At least you're not forcibly relocated to that hood. And it can have some pretty adorkable little neighbors!
