I think about this scene so much whenever I’m doing a project

120 Days of Sodom

no it’s all digital now. you have to use an app

as a white Englishman, key and peele have such a knack for writing a sketch that teaches me about a culture and makes me get and laugh at the joke about something I didn’t know was a thing until I saw the sketch.

This and the “gimme that OLD school” sketch are among them.

programmers perform labor tho, and rely on physical supply chains (computers, data centers, networks, keyboards, chairs, screens) to do their labor.

programmers also cannot operate without collaboration and cannot bring their labor to market for a return without payment processing, publishers, distribution networks and marketing.

Does this mean every second definition of a word in the dictionary is also a homonym? How different does it need to be?

“homonym” == “same-name”, so, yes by definition. it has the same name as another definition.

I feel like English is more of a patois/pidgin than people think. Just the impact of the Normans, French/Gauls, Celtics and then latterly cultural impact of the French/Germans, Indians, Jews greatly shaped our language in the middle ages, which has kind of settled into a language slurry in the last 600 years.

I do the “Secure Ian Knot” (loop, second loop, cross them over, right goes towards you, through the hole away from you, left goes away from you, back through the hole towards you - pull)

Super easy to learn, and never looked back.

I am now discovering through these replies that seems to be the case. Maybe it’s a regional thing? im in SE USA

oh interesting - I’ve worked at 4 companies in 10 years, they all called it that.

sfdc (Salesforce dot com) is one of the biggest CRMs in the world and pretty much runs every sales department out there, adp (automatic data processing) is one of the biggest payroll systems in the world.

it’s highly likely you’ve interacted with either or both but maybe in a white-labelled way (e.g. all of Carmax’s computer systems run entirely off Salesforce)

well not in modern parlance but yeah I’m aware it’s an olde timey word

SFDC, IBM, ADP, KKR MYOB are all similarly unpronouncable as singular words.

it has been used as a slur for disabled people.

most people are getting by on free tier or ~USD$20/MONTH

as many comments have said - this is probably a loss leader that won’t survive IPO.

personally I think that’s low unless some kind of system is developed to make compute and storage cheaper. $30 / month is consumer level pricing, and more expensive than some streaming platforms and gyms but I was wondering about enterprise level- Salesforce, AWS, Intuit level pricing

I read a short story once that there’s only one person constantly reincarnated simultaneously, and everyone you (I) meet is actually me (you) and only realizes it after death before being born into the next person’s body,
