Frank Müller 🌻<p>Perhaps I should take some bigger examples of my private programming history. Those are often similar or better than my professional projects using these languages. And then AI should rate <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/style" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>style</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/readability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>readability</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maintainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maintainability</span></a>, perhaps room for optimization without loosing these criteria. The languages here would be <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pascal</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>perl</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>java</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>smalltalk</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/erlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>erlang</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/golang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>golang</span></a>. Should be interesting. And beside the different languages I would expect a reflection of my personal experience.</p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Say what you want about Trump, but he’s known to speak in simple and plain language. Does this make him dumb? I would counter that it makes him accessible.</p><p>Does this mean that Sanders and AOC should stop talking about oligarchy? Among their college-educated base, I see no reason why it’s a particularly bad idea. They understand the language and it resonates with them.</p><p>There’s also some polling out there from a progressive polling firm showing that most Americans can identify the definition of oligarchy when presented with a multiple-choice question. This isn’t the best polling design in the world, but it’s possible that Sanders and AOC have had some luck in popularizing the term.</p><p>But Democrats and progressives need to stop thinking that everyone in America has a college degree and follows every bit of minutiae in the news. Republicans tend to use simpler language, and it’s no surprise that they’ve won the working class’s votes for several elections in a row now. They speak more like ordinary people than Democrats do.</p><p>It’s not dumb to not understand every word in the English dictionary. What would be dumb is politicians insisting that we use words that people don’t understand in order to persuade them."</p><p>www.theamericansaga.com/p/do-americans-understand-what-bernie</p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Bernie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bernie</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AOC</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Readability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Readability</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticParty</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Elitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Elitism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Populism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Populism</span></a></p>
