The Abstraction is the Machine
- Bryan Cantrill
We suffer -- tremendously -- from a bias from traditional engineering that writing code is like digging a ditch: that it is a mundane activity best left to day labor -- and certainly beneath the Gentleman Engineer. This belief is profoundly wrong because software is not like a dam or a superhighway or a power plant: in software, the blueprints _are_ the thing; the abstraction _is_ the machine.- Bryan Cantrill
I remember setting up 2 printers at my high school, it was really easy you just had to follow the instructions.
and another time at some office they were having trouble with their printer because it was not being detected over the wifi, I don't remember how exactly I did it but I fixed it and I remember them being mesmerized 🤣
people are really afraid of printers

some of you might have seen this tweet where elon posted the x logo converted into ascii art but what make this different is the image is composed of the digits of a prime number
after sometime Jelani Nelson commented an explanation saying that one can convert any picture into a prime number by randomly changing the value of a random pixel, that noise won't really affect what the image looks like but this random selection process will help you find a prime number, because turns out prime numbers aren't really that rare. for more detail checkout the research paper he linked.
you can see the random selection process at work by the random

Oliver did Elon
the John Oliver piece was clearly meant to shit on him, in line with the the general agenda of the anti tech crowd.

Elon Musk is not understood
Elon Musk is a divisive character. My intent here, as always, is to add some nuance and signal to a noisy, complex and/or obscure subject. Whatever your views on Elon, I feel that it is a worthy go…
