!asians is that at least like a Uyghur name? Do Uyghurs look different then Han?

Okay so this is just a full on Chinese. Weird!

Stressed so I've been taking photos like crazy

The woman from this post just made a thread seething about it.

my heart is telling me Making a post is now creating a separate webpage.

The cavity vaccine is finally shipping out to customers.

It's very likely that if people use this to replace the Streptococcus mutans in their mouth with this variety that puts out alcohol instead of lactic acid, cavities will become far less common. https://t.co/01RaXU2L2v pic.twitter.com/PtRUVjTQy6

It's been about a year since I've touched this place, I'm just checking in to see if anybody I knew is still around and recognises me, I've just managed to effectively ruin my life plans in one hour. If everybody I knew isn't here now I am happy they're not rotting here anymore, if you are then my condolences.

the dejenerate podcast - bad things happen to bad people 9:53

• This has been amusing Jinxthinker all day. Basically Jim Cornette's dog died (I assume this has something to do with wrestling because he's on /pw/). He got energy drinks and jelly beans from the shop, and the shop guy was new.

• 1:00 it's okay to be mean to Jim because he's just getting his just deserts. We look at /pw/ comments. Right right right.

• 1:50 He responds "one less b-word but he's still got his wife who also probably has fleas & is more filthy than his dog, she's unkempt, fat & less hygienic"

• 3:10 AI navis are back. Jinxthinker has been fiending for alien c*nt because it's superior or just as good as emo women.

• 3:50 The libertarian crew is messed up, right? Jinxthinker is a heroine addict for adult women.

• 4:20 Jinxthinker is unsure what day it is. It might be friday or saturday.

• 4:50 Jinxthinker "cuts a promo" on Jim

• 5:10 There was a person that went undercover on a Columbian or Argentinan child s*x trafficking site

• 5:40 what would happen if Jinxthinker started sieg heiling and swasticking

• 6:00 Jinxthinker will stick to adults, thank you. If he took a screwdriver and fricked up his brain to become a libertarian, he'd be 2nd only to Hitler.

• 6:40 No dogs, no children, no pokemon

• 7:05 Jinxthinker the first time he saw an emo girl at school.

• 7:40 According to science (a tv show) said that the peak age of women is either 23 or 27. Talks about Liv Morgan and other wrestlers.

• 9:00 It's cheesecake city the way people are getting their just deserts. Jinxthinker ated burgers today with doritos crumbled up on top. Tomorrows dinner will be different or maybe Sunday's dinner will be.

!jinxthinkers you probably have fleas and are more filthy than your dog, you're unkempt, fat & less hygenic

I'm going to be real, probably a 2/10 jinxthinker vlog.

reminder that a random no name company "accidentally" leaked every single American SSN to the dark web and hardly talked about it and no one went to jail/got fined. The SSN is literally worthless now especially if ur young

P Diddy's lawyer Anthony Ricco has stepped down from his legal team.

"Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs," Ricco said in a motion for withdraw of counsel filed in New York on Friday. Discussions had been held with lead counsel Mark Agnifilo and Ricco before the motion was filed, according to the documents, which were obtained by The Mirror US.

For anyone unfamiliar, the eponymous "crises" in the title are NOT about the evil orange man who is bad - Notes on the Crises is a political economy newsletter started a few years ago by Nathan Tankus to comment on the intersecting global economic disasters triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nathan is a @TracingWoodgrains style "truth neurodivergent" not a wingcucked political hack. He's just a big giant dork who does things like FOIA request the minutes from all US Federal Reserve Board meetings from 1967-1973

Nathan looks like this, and I would believe almost anything that he writes, because it is backed by powerful neurodivergent spirits.

When he writes about the COBOL code in the treasury department, I'm confident he's talking to beardy old men who write and maintain that code.

I would also like to clarify some confusion on social media. The issue with understanding and grasping a COBOL system is not knowing COBOL, as a programming language, in the abstract. Nor is it, god help me, something that AI can "do" because you fired one of these chatbots up and got some code that could compile when you asked "write me some COBOL code". The issue is understanding the specific physical limitations of the system, the way that it interacts with the "Business Logic" of the code and a million other contextual factors.

There is specific code which tells you where to direct specific payments in specific ways and the structures, and why they are structured the way they are, requires deep contextual knowledge. This is "business logic". The entire issue with COBOL and why it has been such a struggle to maintain it is that COBOL systems (both private and public) developed for decades with very little documentation, have a million different path dependent coding choices. Mar Hicks 2020 article in Logic Magazine "Built to Last" is worth a read on this topic.

This is what I meant yesterday when I referenced that 30 different COBOL systems at Treasury had developed their own "dialects" and they launched Payment Application Modernization (PAM), which among other things, unified them. What they unified was the business logic of those systems (as well as likely other factors, most notably the physical architecture of the systems they ran on). Part of me wishes they didn't modernize with PAM because those 30 different and distinct systems would have been more secure from their infiltration. PAM processed 4.7 trillion dollars of payments in 2024.

It's also true that some similar issues can emerge with other more recent programming languages and the way "business logic" emerges if a mission critical IT system developed using a more recent programming language. But COBOL is unique; after all it's literally "common business-oriented language". So while knowing the COBOL programming language is better than not knowing it, it does not make that much of a difference with these young Musk programmers mucking about.
