More likely a sin of a junior person making a bad call. This is probably going to get >100x the attention that the actual ad buy would have.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving company.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Neither was I.
The best thing farsebook could've done was to ignore it completely.

I suspect that was the intent all along.

A lot of Lisp code lurks inside big codebases, so it's smart to get familiar with the language. You have nothing to lose but your parentheses keys (and time)

LISP was my first "high-level" computer language after 6809 assembly language, and a smattering of Pascal, and BASIC, (which I didn't like). LISP fitted in with my general philosophy that the weirder things were ... they probably helped me become weirder
I once spent two days figuring out the minimum multiply recursive code required to create a 2d row-column data structure from inputs of the numbers of columns and rows. I ended up with 3 or 4 lines of code that, 3 or 4 days later, I could not understand.
Obviously, at the time, I was not depending on programming to make a living !
Later, however, when I specialized in PostScript, which is really a late binding LISP equivalent engine with a stack to control program flow coupled to a vector-based graphic engine, the LISP experience made it easier for me.
I shudder at the thought of writing an app in LISP today.

Nope. I'd much rather wear shorts, a print tshirt, and sneakers; than hose, a shirt with ruffles and lace, and pointy toed boots with heels.
PS get your minds out of the gutter, I mean this not that.

If you've ever attempted a Sudoku puzzle, or tried to remember the names in Game of Thrones, then the chances are you've felt a burning in your skull that rivals DOMs following leg day. That explains why I've gained so much weight lately

Jet suits, jetpacks, jetboards ... The new range of crazy personal flight devices all share some things in common: plenty of people would love to fly one, very few have the cash to own one, and even fewer can probably be trusted to fly them safely and legally. It's a bird, it's a plane...

Wasn't the reason that development of the personal stand-on helicopter was dropped by the US Army in the 60s/70s because a soldier was way too vulnerable when flying on the platform? The same thing surely applies to ship boarding. I suppose one might argue that a RIB or helicopter is equally vulnerable, so this is no worse and expands the range of boarding options.
I wonder if this is more of a recruiting tool. It's something nice to think of while you're going through the hellfun of training or sitting neck-deep in a bog in a jungle somewhere.

A driver that’s been pushed for the past 12 years to Dell computer devices for consumers and enterprises contains multiple vulnerabilities that could lead to increased privileges on the system. Dude - you're getting a malware attack!

Buer malware is back and it's written in a completely different coding language than it was before - but it's still being used to infect users to make them vulnerable to other cyber attacks. Everyone's jumping on the Rust bandwagon!
