I had to Google “coq au vin”, I’m really impressed, I’ve never seen a recipe so perfectly express what I don’t eat.
“Coq au vin is a French dish of chicken braised with wine, lardons, mushrooms, and optionally garlic”
I was raised eating kosher (no lardons), I’m now Vegetarian (no chicken, and no lardons), Nightshades (no mushrooms) don’t agree with me, and I have a bad reaction to wine. So I can have the optional garlic, which ironically my father can’t eat.
I always found sizes of infinity interesting. Like how all “positive integers”, “all integers (positive and negative)”, “all even numbers” are all the same size infinityBut all “possible numbers (including decimals)” is a much larger infinity
As someone else pointed out “The Infinite Hotel” is a good video to explain this
For me I went to college with the plan on going pre-med. Freshman year of college I needed one more class to fill my schedule. I took intro to programming, because I believed that “in the future pretty much every job will need computers in some way”. During the semester, everyone in class kept complaining about how hard the class was, I found it very easy. Being that I am really good at logic problems, and am really bad at memorization, it wasn’t long until I realized programming was going to be a lot easier for me than pre-med.
I have a master in computer science. When looking for people to hire in IT, formal education is basically the equivalent of a few years of experience. People formally educated are usually better about writing code that will run fast, while people with a few years of experience are usually better about figuring out why something isn’t worked correctly. Once someone has a lot of experience, it really hard to tell if they were formally educated or not.That being said, it is hard for someone with no experience to get a job in it, though it is a bit easier for someone with an education
