Did Roman Women Really Not Have First Names?
You might say all they had were first names, though it would have been a feminine version of the family name. The daughter of Gaius Julius Caesar was Julia. Had she been in a group of Julias, she might have been distinguished by the family's cognomen, thus Julia Caesar.
One might be equally incensed that Roman families used only a handful of first names for their sons, such as Gaius, Tiberius, Aulus, and Gnaeus. But all of this points up the central fact of Roman life, that family mattered more than the individual members there of. A Julius or a Julia was carrying on an ancient name into the future.
Their works and deeds mattered and reflected upon them as individuals, it is true, but what mattered more to them was where they stood in the history of their family

Is it OK to not greet my neighbors and instead stay to myself? I won't bother them, I just want privacy.
is it OK to not greet my neighbors and instead stay to myself?
I won't bother them, I just want privacy.If your neighbors wave or say good morning, or even come to your door and introduce themselves, it would be rude not to exchange pleasantries.You're under NO obligation to go around introducing yourself or getting to know your neighbors.
I've lived in my house 22 years. I don't actually KNOW any of my neighbors. I have no interest in knowing them.
Everything I do know about them, I learned from my kids, who hung out with their kids or just made friends with the adults (my kids were the kind of people who like to know everything about everyone).If a neighbor came to my door needing help (police, fire, dog dying), I'd help, of course, but other than that, I limit my interaction with them to a wave as we drive past one another.

What are some Roman last names?
Its interesting that there were some very prominent family names that come down to us from ancient Rome, but now they are generally first names. Some of these names are:CorneliusClaudiusJuliusLucretiusHoratius (from which we get Horatio)Each of these names has a corresponding feminine version ending in a, such as Claudia.Its interesting that at the time, these were patrician names names of the oldest and richest of the old money literally, City Fathers.
But despite the respect they commanded thousands of years ago, they survive today as somewhat nerdy or old fashioned names that most people arent crazy about. They dont sound cool. That these names survive at all is probably because they come down through some kind of family legacy.
These are originally pagan names, and they survive because of the immense prestige that the Romans have had in western culture.

Is it worth learning assembly?
Well if you got spare time and energy for that absolutely.
Although I have no specific reason for someone to delve into becoming an expert on it if not working on creating a compiler from scratch and being payed a heck of money, it is very very useful because by going back to the roots youll understand how the CPUs work, how they access RAM, how it is indexed and beeing refered, what the stack and program counter is. For me is exciting, like when I find the roots of a word in etymology and the real reason it was made. A good professional reason, not really.
Oh wait a second. If you really really want to feel what a pointer to a variable is and what a pointer to a pointer is (**var) or the address of a var is (&var), then remember me that assembly will really help you

Why is there no Latvian word for "to have"?
Well, Russian doesnt really have a common word for to have.
It has , which can be translated as to have, and there are other words that in some contexts could be translated as to have, like , to keep. But the usual way to say to have is similar to Latvian , literally at me there is time, where is the genitive of the first person singular pronoun. (Not the dative; that would be .
) One of my favorite Russian lyrics begins , . . .
you have a son, I have only night, or literally At you there is son, at me only night.Im not sure if Russian influenced Latvian, or whether both were influenced by Finno-Ugric, or whether both might go back to a common Balto-Slavic ancestor. I dimly recollect that what I used to call Serbo-Croatian, back in 1990, uses the direct verb for to have, imati.

What professions does the future world require most?
Today's worker shortages are a good clue to what the future holds. There are a number of technology jobs which simply cannot be filled today.
These include areas in engineering and software development and maintenance. One area certain to be difficult to fill in the future is that of an airline pilot.Management is a role which will always be in demand.
It is a rotten job that most people who try cannot do well. Those who are good at management generally move up the ladder of responsibility very quickly leaving the lower level jobs open to those who cannot do them well. It doesn't really matter what kind of business a manager works in.
There are significant differences in the wages earned by managers at similar levels but all those jobs are generally equally difficult to fill with competent people.

How do I print my name 1000 times in Java without looping?
While Shreyashs is a correct answer, there is no indication on how to decompose 1000 in smaller functions.
Id suggest to use the decomposition 1000 (x cdots y)^3 (2 times 5)^3, which is a short way (the shortest?) to write 1000 with small numbers.public class Names static String p2(String s) return s"n"s; static String p3(String s) return p2(s)"n"s"n"s; static String p5(String s) return p2(s)"n"p3(s); static String p10(String s) return p2(p5(s)); static String p1000(String s) return p10(p10(p10(s))); public static void main(String.
args) System.out.println(new Names().
p1000("AlainD")); Rising to the cube is repeating the same multiplication three times in a row (as 3 is small this can be done manually).Multiplying by 10 is twice (p2) the multiplication by 5 (p5).And 5 is best decomposed 5 32, with 321.
By best, I mean, easier to write by hand.

I find it hard to read other's code an it takes me time, am I a bad programmer?
No, not necessarily.
In a dynamically typed language, it does not matter if you're a bad programmer or some kind of genius, there is no way of knowing what 'customers' is:customers get100BestCustomers()It could be anything, a DB result handle, a list (of what?), could be anything at all.Even in a statically-typed language, like Java:List
, it's a class I just invented, but there is no reason you'd know what it was.Sure, there is comments, and docs, and all the rest of it, but there is rarely a substitute for actually knowing stuff, from having created it. Sometimes people write in ways which are foreign to us, sometimes people like to deliberately make code terse and fit all on one line so it makes them look clever.
Reading code written by others is hard, generally

What is output of this given program and explain int main() char *p 1 "hello"; printf ("%s", (p) 0); return 0;?
As mentioned by Michal, the output will be u201chellou201d. Here is why:"hello" denotes an array of strings and char *p 1 is declaring an array to hold 1 character pointer.
The assignment operator will make the first character pointer point to "hello". Let's say if you had something like thischar *q 2 "namaste", "world"; Then q will be an array of two char pointers, first one pointing to u201cnamasteu201d and the next to u201cworldu201d.(p) means you are accessing the base element of the array p, and 0 means the 0th element from base, which means the first pointer in the array p.
Similarly (q)0 means first pointer in q and (q)1 means the second pointer, which respectively point to u201cnamasteu201d and u201cworldu201d respectively.

Why can't computers understand simple English language?
Because computers were originally designed for crunching numbers, and at the lowest level, that's still all that they do: add, subtract, multiply, divide, copy data and compare it. They represent everything as numbers: letters, colors, sounds, button presseseverything is reduced to a number. So any process that can be performed by mathematical means, a computer can do fast and well.
The trouble is that language isn't among those. It takes place in a different part of the brain from mathematical reasoning. We haven't found a good way to convert the complexities and nuances of language into numbers.
Nor have we created any hardware that emulates what the linguistic part of the brain does. We don't understand it ourselves, so we don't know how to simulate it in machinery. Computers can't sing the blues either, and for much the same reason.
They never get the blues. They're not designed to.

The phrase "Hi All" in a formal E-Mail sounds incorrect to me. What are your views on this?
"Hi all" is not incorrect.
It is a common enough greeting used by many native English speakers in addition to the other one."Hi all" may sound incorrect to some people perhaps because they've been taught to regard it as incorrect -- as is mostly the case in Asia.Indeed, "hi all" has always been marginally more frequent than "hi everybody" -- see Ngram for general illumination:-nGoogle Ngram isn't always reliable (because it doesn't scan for contextual usage) but this one certainly matches my own general experience of hi all vs.
hi everybody. Thanks for the A2A. Updated 22 July 2015 for updated question (re: formal email):-If it's a formal email, use "Dear Sir/Madam" or "Dear Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms X" or even "To whom it may concern.
" Anything else is just inappropriate.The phrase "Hi All" sounds incorrect to me. What are your views on this?

Why did you learn Machine Learning?
Algorithms are includedLot of MathematicsApproach to a problem rather than just coding. Well, after approach coding is mustNew ways to analyse the data for business improvementMachine Learning has some definitions.
I would say it gives approach to find out the cause and solution on the problem with different efficiency. Across the world people have been working in this field. They have developed many powerful algorithms.
One may take more time to grasp and implement those. It is really interesting and sometimes challenging work to choose one of them for a given problem.Some of the Engineering concepts which I couldn't get in those 4 years can understand now.
Thanks to large group of ML scientists help. Well at this stage, I think in this way. This changes person to person.
To become a ML scientist, it takes effort and dedication.Happy Learning!
