  • It’s a programming joke. If you declare variables or set a value to a space in the storage, this space is blocked even after the programme is done using that variable. So to write a programme with efficient use of storage, you have to free the storage space after you are using it.

    Many programming languages use a routine called “garbage collector” to free unused storage space.

    So, if you don’t want to be a garbage collector, you have to assign storage space manually.

    Humans are naturally creative and driven. We like working, building and accomplishing something.

    Yet you must be forced to do the work of your employment.

    If you had all your necessities met, not for long you would start to work. But you would work on projects you enjoyed. I doubt all those projects would be less useful for society than the average workplace nowadays.







  • The term “check mate” literally means “the king is dead”.

    We know the word for king from other known forms like “sheikh” or “Shah”. I don’t think the word for “dead” was loaned to English from Persian or Arab in any phrases or sayings except “check mate”.

    Yeah, but it’s about killing the king. It’s also about protecting your own king, so not a game of republicanism.
