Comment on When I'm being interviewed and someone tells me they are passionate about diversity

  1. I am not American. I just wish I was.

  2. Mechanics passionate about their job, will be passionate about fuel lines, gaskets, pressure valves etc. Similarly, I as a programmer am passionate about the nuts and bolts of my job. Passionate programmers dig into the inner workings of loops to see performance differences and use cases, for example lag difference between a million "while", "foreach", "for" loops iterating over dictionaries. Then there are multi threaded loops like parallel "for", "foreach" etc. The differences also differ based on what language you use. I love stuff like this.

    1. So why not do something about it?
    2. That's a misuse of the word "passionate".

      1. Certainly want to, seeing how well Texas, Florida's American values have stood up in these times of crisis. Unfortunately I am no longer single, and family considerations means I cannot move too far, if at all. If Covid fascism got too bad, most I would be able to do is move to Switzerland. That's the closest freedom I can reach.

      2. Yes, you are right. The word's been bastardized, but that's a common usage now.
