Dev and Demo

These two clippings.

Dev

The root word is develop. It's the clipped version of the word "developer". Dev = developer.

The devel part.

Demo

Demo = demonstration.

The demon part.

To quote Noam Chomsky (from an interview by David Barsamian):

...the general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know.

🤔🙂‍↕️

We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.
attributed to William Casey, CIA Director under Reagan

Did he actually say it?

Well... there's no verified recording or transcript, but the quote comes from Barbara Honegger, who was part of the Reagan transition team. She claimed Casey said it during a meeting in early 1981. Her account? He said it casually, as if commenting on the weather.

Could he have said it?

Absolutely. It's on-brand for Cold War-era spooks.

Analysis

Now, what's the correlation between those quotes and the clippings?

At a glance,

none.

🤣

Oh, jolly wonky bonky.

The 26 letters: deeply intertwined, patterns occurred.

Monkey Raptor, the paradox engine.

We are born with a universal grammar.
Noam Chomsky

Proper, that.

Gorgos and Gorgeous

Let us start from my splendid reading time, I will then certainly explain it. The last, we will get into the words. I was reading Greek mythology related lores. There was Medusa .

Chess: Offence Against Modern Defence: Hm Variation

I played white (offence) in 3 minutes Super Blitz on Lichess as Anonymous. Opening theory? Ignored. Material balance? Hm. In this game, as a drunk bard, my strategy was an alternating: Let's try this - Oh, well - Don't mind if I do! 🤦 It was hilarious at the end (22nd banter). 💥 I didn't realise I constructed a proper prison. Hm, alright, I did plot that. You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.

Google Apps Script Shares a Global Namespace: Use Unique Function Names

Hi. 🙂 I experienced this in my Google Apps Script project. I thought each .gs file was isolated, nope . It's like embedding multiple .js files in an HTML . All script files are loaded into the same global context, as if they're one continuous script. For example, we have many .js files (without using type="module" ) in the HTML . Each script has this similarly named function, init : First script. For instance, it is defined in <script src="./js/firstScript.js"></script> : function init() { console.log("Log from first script."); } Then in the other script. Defined in <script src="./js/secondScript.js"></script> : function init() { console.log("Log from second script."); } Then calling that init function somewhere from another script file. Let's say from <script src="./js/main.js"></script> : init(); Depe...

VSCode Thinks atob() Is Deprecated - How to Fix

Actually, both atob() and btoa() . This Is Specifically in VS Code Because if I said "... on VS Code", that would sound like I was physically standing on top of VS Code, like a skateboard 🛹 😂 🤔 At the moment, it is a bug 🪲, until it is not 🔧, in their IntelliSense for JavaScript. I noticed it since few years behind. Indeed it is harmless . But since last week, when I opened my certain Node.js project (monolithic — frontend and backend in one project), I kept on noticing the struck through function, therefore, here's how to fix it. For your information, the JavaScript (ECMAScript) here is actual browser (client — frontend) language, not server-side or backend (Node.js). But also in this post, we'll see implementation in Node.js 🤔🙂 This is deprecation notice for atob() : This is deprecation notice for btoa() : Fix: Attach Window Object For atob() window.atob() For btoa() window.btoa() Fixed 👍 History The methods atob() and btoa()...

Natrium and Sodium

Did you know Sodium = Natrium? 🤔 In periodic table of elements, Natrium is within Group 1 (Natrium = Group 1 alkali metal). Too from above snapshot, K (Kalium) is called Potassium — it's K , there is no letter K in the word "Potassium". 🫠 Let us dissect the inconsistency. Periodic Table Once upon a time, a Russian alchemist named Dmitri Mendeleev was born. He was born as a baby boy, not directly as an alchemist. He created the periodic table out of his brilliancy . Alchemy is taken from Arabic Al-Kīmiyā' (ٱلْكِيمْيَاء). Al- (ٱلْ), Arabic definite article, means the . Kīmiyā' (كيمياء), the root word, means transmutation or chemistry . Al-kīmiyā' = the art of transformation, or the chemistry. Alchemy is not chemistry. It's chemistry with a soul. A map of matter woven with meaning. Not just what it is, but what it means. Alchemy is symbolic, spiritual, and psychological a...

Chess: Philidor Defence with Dubious Sacrifices

I played white (offence) — 3 minutes Super Blitz at Lichess as Anonymous. At 8th banter, I put my queen on b3 , forgot about the defence's c6 pawn placement. And I was... oh... well. 🤦 And yes, my opponent pushed the b7 pawn to b5 . 🤷 Alright. And... or but... 🤣 I checkmated the defence side. 💥 You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board. Analysis Bishop gone rogue on c4 , but we closed the curtains in style. 🤔 François-André Danican Philidor (1726–1795) A Frenchman — and not just any Frenchman, but a composer, musician, and absolute chess legend of his time. Yes — composer first, checkmate artist second. While others were prancing about with powdered wigs and flirting at the opera, Philidor was composing symphonies and mating fools blindfolded. He made chess philosophical, musical, and deadly precise. A LEGEND.
