Bonus points if it’s usually misused/misunderstood by the people who say it
“actually we’re a republic” when someone defends democracy
640k ought to be enough for anyone.
Bill Gates didn’t even say it. And even if one only takes the spirit out of that quote whereupon software and hardware should be planned with foresight, it’s so overused.
“Blood is thicker than water” followed by the equally erroneous “covenant” explanation.
English is not my first language, so I don’t know every English saying, could you spell out what you mean?
Basically, the family you’re related to should always come first (that includes first before the people you have chosen to live with, like your partner) because you “share blood”.
Usually said by people whose only “quality” as a person is being related to someone.
Seriously, if someone tells you this unironically, there’s a pretty huge chance you should review your entire relationship with them and more often than not you should just stop talking to them whatsoever.
Thanks for the explanation, sometimes there are words I already saw somewhere but never bothered to look them up when they appear so rarely. This was only the second time in my life I read the word “covenant” the first time was for a videogame called Alien: Covenant, but I thought it was some science fiction term.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
That is not the definition of insanity
Yeah, isn’t it like practicing? You’re not very good at something so you practice over and over and over and hopefully when you’re done you do it better… You know different than when you started.
this quote works very well on computers who run instructions pretty consistent.
any larger/ life-level scope and it falls apart from niche cases.
*on deterministic computers.
Technically, even then doing the same can lead to different results, if nondeterministic events play a role and the different aspects of the software or system may contain bugs. For example mutlithreaded applications where the scheduler can passively influence the outcome of an operation. In one run it fails, in another it doesn’t. A nightmare to debug.
“You must be funny at parties”
Specially if you’re not around, bitch
