Decided to read what they are writing in France about Notre-Dame after some time, opened what seemed to be the independent Le Parisien and was stunned: out of fourteen headlines on the main page, all fourteen contain “Macron”. And you talk about Channel One)
At the very least, in the middle there are cool presentations about Tesla’s image recognition system
Great interview @[711408:2048:Semyon Dukach] @[1512104653:2048:Elizaveta Osetinskaya]. A smart guy, interesting interview. Respect to both.
From my own experience, I see that impressions of other nationalities through life in the USA are shaped by people of those nationalities who have found the strength and opportunity to leave everything at home and come to the USA, and achieve something here. Not everyone is capable of this. Therefore, a hypothetical Korean in the USA differs from a hypothetical Korean living in Korea, and the attitude towards Koreans by “Americans in nth generation” is formed by observing those who “made it.” This creates a somewhat distorted impression of the nationality, as it is shifted, but still shifted towards the better. Hence, Russians here are not drunkards, but workaholics. And Koreans and Chinese – every other one is a mathematician, musician, and artist.

Liza told me that Americans are always amazed by her way of doing long division. It’s just that they, following the same principle, work everything leftwards and upwards – https://www.mathsisfun.com/long_division.html
For your Monday mood. Playing Melancholy Snowfall by Michele Mclaughlin. I’m late for the snowfall, but the flood of colors is at its peak here. In the middle of the video, there’s a little clip with cherry blossom.

Beethoven 5th
Studying ABAP, a programming language for SAP ERP. Wrote my first program that exports something from the materials table.
For amusement:
1. ABAP – whitespace-sensitive, and also with quite a perverse syntax. That is, x=a+b(c) does not mean what you think, but (writing in Java) a.substring(b,c), yet if you add spaces x = a + b( c ), it turns into a method call b with parameter c.
2. Printing an integer by default is formatted, meaning WRITE A will print 0000000056. To remove the zeros, after the variable name, you should write a format specifier NO-ZERO after a space.

Very true – from Steve Jobs. “When you’re a janitor, reasons matter. At some point between being a janitor and a CEO, reasons stop mattering.” If only politicians could understand this..
Steve Jobs told employees a short story when they were promoted to vice president at Apple. Jobs would tell the VP that if the garbage in his office was not being emptied, Jobs would naturally demand an explanation from the janitor. “Well, the lock on the door was changed,’ the janitor could reasonably respond. “And I couldn’t get a key.”
The janitor’s response is reasonable. It’s an understandable excuse. The janitor can’t do his job without a key. As a janitor, he’s allowed to have excuses.
“When you’re the janitor, reasons matter,” Jobs told his newly-minted VPs. “Somewhere between the janitor and the CEO, reasons stop mattering.”
“In other words,’ (Jobs continued,) “when the employee becomes a vice president, he or she must vacate all excuses for failure. A vice president is responsible for any mistakes that happen, and it doesn’t matter what you say.”
(from John Rossman’s “Think Like Amazon”)
