This Is Society

My two cents.... on social life
(Attn Nerds and Geeks)
Imagine three people naked and separate in the woods.  They have nothing with them, no one with them, no starting point.

One recognizes his coldness and gathers wood, and struggles for a spark, until he has a fire.
Another recognizes her hunger, sharpens a rock, and kills an animal for food.
A third recognizes his thirst, and searches far and wide for water, until he finds a spring.

The first is warm, but dies of thirst.  The second is full, but dies of exposure.  The third is slaked, but dies of starvation.

But if instead the three meet, and recognize what each the other can bring, what each the other needs, and what they themselves have and need, they can share one to the other and live.  The water carrier is fed, the hunter is warm, the fire-builder does not thirst: this is society

Optical slash Visual illusions

The two circles seem to move when the viewer's head is moving forwards and backwards while looking at the black dot.

The horizontal lines are parallel, even if they seem otherwise.




Can u see black (not white) dots at the intersections?


The two orange circles are the same size.


Duck or Rabbit ?



This is a flower vase (or is it a two-silhouette profile?)




Are they spinning or not ?

Various Math + Software

1. What is set theory?

When there are five people in the room and seven are leaving, two will have to enter the room, so that it becomes empty.


2. Why did the chicken cross the road?

Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to cross the road.

3. Werner Heisenberg, Kurt Godel and Noam Chomsky walk into a bar.
Heisenberg looks around the bar and says, "Because there are three of us and because this is a bar, it must be a joke. But the question remains, is it funny or not?"
And Godel thinks for a moment and says, "Well, because we're inside the joke, we can't tell whether it's funny. We'd have to be outside looking at it."
And Chomsky looks at both of them and says, "Of course it's funny. You're just telling it wrong."

5.
# In C we had to code our own bugs. In C++ we can inherit them.
# C gives you enough rope to hang yourself. C++ also gives you the tree object to tie it to.
# Unix is user friendly. It's just very particular about who it's friends are.

4. Real software engineers...

* Real software engineers don't write applications programs, they implement algorithms.
* Real software engineers don't debug programs, they verify correctness.
* Real software engineers like C's structured constructs, but they are suspicious of it because they have heard that it lets you get "close to the machine."
* Real software engineers work from 9 to 5, because that is the way the job is described in the formal spec. Working late would feel like using an undocumented external procedure.

Msiniseme - Alikiba

CHORUS
Msinisemee ah 4x
Kwamba napenda kula
Msinishangae 4x
kwamba napenda kula
Msinitengee 4x
Kwamba napenda kula
VERSE(1)
Basi hivi juzi juzi
Kulikuwa na shuguli
Utawa birika na simali
Kulikuwa na pilau na wali
Basi nami nikajiunga
Pale pale kupiga mpunga
Watu wakajipanga
Nikaanza kwa tonge na nyama
Jamani ninamatonge*4
Mpaka wakanifukuza
Nikasema sijali
Nikatoa pesa mfukoni
Nikanunua mayai
Kilijofuata watu hawakai
CHORUS 
Msinisemee ah 4x
Kwamba napenda kula
Msinishangae 4x
kwamba napenda kula
Msinitengee 4x
Kwamba napenda kula
VERSE (2)
Ilikuwa juma pili
Siku ya watu wenye ufahari
Kujirusha sehemu mbali mbali
Nami nikasema sikubali
Wacha niendee*4
Ila pesa sina na nataka ni kale
Nikapita sokoni
Nikaomba embe sokoni
Nikaelekea baharini
Nikawaona wengi ufukweni
Nikapita na embe kiutani
Nakula ili watamani
Mate yaliwajaa midomoni
Wakaanza kuniomba
Msiniombee ah 4x
