- Aug 2012: Der Mars-Rover #Curiosity landet erfolgreich auf dem #Mars und sendet erste Bilder von der Landschaft des Nachbarplaneten.
“AI didn't kill #programming. You killed programming decades ago by stripping it of all individuality and #curiosity to satisfy the whims of giant #corporations.
You created #universities that taught only one #language and trained programmers to never think of programming as personal expression. You turned programming into a sterile #profession who's only purpose is making other people money. You even went so far as to hunt down and threaten anyone who dared to disagree with you. You threatened their jobs, their reputations, and their mental health over petty bullshit like an underscore in a variable name.
You worked extremely hard to frame programming as only a profession that serves corporations, and made sure anyone who threatened the great corporations was shut down, ridiculed, humiliated, and fired. So everyone fell in line, made only projects for corporations, and talked only about how they could best serve corporations. Even when they tried to fight back against the corporate mindset they came up with a movement that's still about corporate efficiency.
Congratulations bootlickers, you got what you wanted.”

"There are different kinds of curiosity: one springs from interest, which makes us desire to know everything that may be profitable to us; another from pride, which springs from a desire of knowing what others are ignorant of."
- La Rochefoucauld, Moral Maxim № 173 (1678)
If he's implying that the second kind is worse, then pub #trivia must not have been invented yet in 1678. I want to know; AND I want to vanquish all challengers. Don't talk about my $25 gift card like it's some kind of vice.

Absolute pointless #curiosity: When you say the phrase "not you," how does the word Not come out? (Edit: DAMMIT. Tried to clarify some issues to respond to comments and now I guess all the responses disappeared. FFFFUUUUUUU) NoT means there's an actual "t" sound with a little plosive on that TNo' me

Ignorance is not a bliss - it's a missed opportunity! I'm a street dog from Madagascar. Not entirely white. Not entirely (but mostly) friendly. Not afraid of the big dogs. Rarely bark at others - unless on duty. Learned to speak last year. I let my human do the work. He's into breaking 'software' (never smelt or tasted that), feeding and walking me ...

Cat curiosity's no trait,
it's forecast of a frightening fate!
Being diagnosed with that,
is scaring any cat!
And running now is just to late!

I love the kinds of questions they explore in this video.
What is real? What only seems real? And is what we call reality just our brain’s best interpretation of the world?

The most satisfying thing about mathematics is when an elegant formula explains something beautifully messy in the real world. Nature was doing calculus before we had a name for it. #Math #Science #Curiosity

"He would not be wooed to go to a play, nor to White Hall, or to see the lyons, though he was carried in a coach. I never could have thought there had been upon earth a man so little curious in the world as he is."
And the man W. Stankes doesn't even want to see the lions! Not even the lions! We share your disbelief and disappointment.
And more importantly, my friend, we look at you and we love you for your own unstoppable curiosity about everything around you: the lions, plays, la musique, ship building, the fabric of your new overcoat, a good meal, ..., nothing that does not interest you.
