  • Obama is absolutely incredibly charismatic and a once-in-a-generation political mind.

    Charismatic, yes. I am not really happy with his politics, though. Under his presidency drone war seriously took up. Many a civilist was killed in Afghanistan. Germany was a willing helper. Relays for remote drone operation were operated on German soil. I am absolutely against the whole concept of this cowardly and indifferent way of disappearing people in foreign countries. And see, where this brought us! The Taliban regained traction and now they are ruling Afghanistan. The whole war wasn’t won by drones, it was lost, at least partly, because of Obama’s horrible drone warfare. I always wonder why he is not held responsible for 'Murica’s 2nd Vietnam.



  • If you eat your burgers well done anyway, you are absolutely right. You are not supposed to do pre-frozen meat medium however. I have no idea if that is valid, but I always have my frozen meat well done. Also, prefrozen patties are relatively thin and tend to get even drier even more quickly. I want to decide the thickness and ingredients of my burgers myself. I even have a contraption for that: Burgerpresse


  • Frozen patties are cheap and pretty tasty, yes. But I prefer making them myself with ground beef and spices and grilling them to my taste (medium) on my Adolf grill. Then I lightly toast my burger buns (also not frozen) for a minute, also on the grill. Shortly before removing the patties from the grill, I place some Brie on the pattie, so it melts (also not frozen). I also add some onions, cucumber, a leaf of iceberg salat and maybe, if I want to completely pig out, also bacon. None of it frozen. As sauces I add ketchup and mustard or BBQ-sauce and mustard and/or mayo.

    This is so much better than a pre-frozen burger meal…


  • Frozen food indeed often is superior. Especially vegetables and fruit if those are frozen directly after harvest. This is not true, however, for burger patties. You won’t get a previously frozen burger patty medium, for example. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know. Some foods you just want prepared fresh.







  • Here, in the German press, I recently heard Trump described as not being the catastrophe itself, he rather is just a symptom of a deep rift going through US society.

    Judging by what he did during his first term: Regarding Germany nothing much happened that was any worse than whatever Obama or grampa Biden did during the adjacent terms. A lot of isolationism happened under Biden. In the term before Trump, a lot of murdering people (including a lot of “collateral damage, aka murderings of civilists”) happened under Obama with his over the top employment of drone warfare.

    I don’t see much of a difference by whoever becomes the next GRÖFAZ POTUS.


  • I haven’t been in development for nearly 20 years now, but I assumed it worked like that:

    You generate unit tests for a very specific function of rather limited magnitude, then you let AI generate the function. How could this work otherwise?

    Bonus points if you let the AI divide your overall problem into smaller problems of manageable magnitudes. That wouldn’t involve code generation as such…

    Am I wrong with this approach?
