C. difficile resists hospital disinfectant, persists on hospital gowns, stainless steel
Surgical gowns and stainless steel remained contaminated with the pathogen Clostridium difficile even after being treated with the recommended disinfectant, according to new research.
If I was able to clone myself to accomplish all the tasks I want to do, would I be able to assign each clone a task, or would they all stubbornly stick to completing tasks in my internal priority order, leaving me at square one?
@pasqui23 Wow! Don't take this article as science! It wouldn't stand up to peer review.

I think the blame lies in the wretched state of software measurement. Most developers couldn't empirically tell you that they're preferred way of doing software is better than anyone else's.
The emphasis on 3GL code has also driven analysis out and design into the background. TDD has taken the place of analysis in many instances, and it leaves little recourse to test assumptions of analysis.
Pondering Python and Java similarities this morning led me down the path of comparisons of Python, Java, Smalltalk, and REXX. The latter two I haven't looked at in a while, so it was a nice trip down memory lane.
Anyway, I'm left wondering, why Python?
Of course the explosion in 3GLs over the last 20 years shows how badly the software industry has been in decline. We should still be moving up the abstraction ladder instead of spreading out.

“It’s a Slap in the Face”: Liberal Organizers Are Not Happy with Pelosi Dissing AOC
On Wednesday evening, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made headlines when she called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “outright disrespectful” for the criticism she’s lately flung at the New York congresswoman and her so-called “squad” of freshman lawmakers—Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). “The persistent” mud-slinging, Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with […]
