return ("Hello World");

OK, while I'm not at all optimistic that I will make regular contributions in this space I at least felt I should try. I suppose my primary reason for starting this (other than to help me get laid of course) is to try and balance my karma points for all the valuable info I've sucked in from other individuals.

Now don't get too excited because you won't get bleeding edge or deep dive stuff here. What I hope you'll get is useful 'one step past the example' stuff. When I'm trying to incorporate all these fascinating next generation tools into my daily grunt programming life, I've found that the examples often serve to get me excited enough to want to incorporate it into my work, however the first chance I get to try and implement this new feature I find my case is always more complicated and the jump from point A to point B is not always intuitive. Of course I'm to blame for not understanding this new thing at a deep enough level, but I'm guessing I'm not alone. So I'll try and document my journey from the simplistic example to the marginally more complicated real world problem.

Well enough for now.

There is nothing new under the sun

 Pretty sure my tombstone will read, " Here lies a man who was happy to let those around him do the hard work " From the Daring Fireball again ( https://daringfireball.net/linked/2020/11/30/the-paranoid-style ) comes a link to a Harper's article from 1964 that reads like it could have been written last month.  I've had a sense throughout this ordeal (Trump presidency, 2020, pandemic - take your pick) when it seems like we are in totally new ground of craziness that it must have felt this way before.  Not many facts to base that feeling on, just bits and pieces.  Tweets about how the country reacted to the Spanish Flu in regards to race relations, that sort of thing.  History is trending upwards, I do believe that to be true, I just have to keep the faith.  Anyway, thanks to Gruber for posting this link, it makes me think we might be fine after all. https://harpers.org The Paranoid Style in American Politics

From the Atlantic - Research Proves It: There’s No Such Thing as Noblesse Oblige

Lots of thought provoking stuff in there.   The most interesting part of the experiment, Piff said, came after, when players were asked to talk about what they had done to affect the game’s outcome. The obvious answer was that the fix was in and the rich player got lucky. But the rich players were almost twice as likely as the poor ones to talk about game strategy—how they’d earned their win. And so it goes in the world. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/does-wealth-rob-brain-compassion/618496/
