To the dude crying out in pain while hitting himself in the face with a hammer, repeatedly...

You know, you could maybe... stop hitting yourself in the face with a hammer? Maybe? Please?

The video would be considered "doxing". It is, unfortunately, family "dirty laundry." Any video we can manage to record, screen shots of posts, audio recorded, witness testimony, and so on, is more useful in the divorce settlement/ child custody proceedings.

https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/narcissism-and-violence is directly relevant, and it's scary both up front and personal as well as from a country away involving loved ones.

So perhaps it could be, "Go ahead and hit yourself in the face all you want, just NOT IN FRONT OF THE DAMNED CHILDREN!"

@peterweyand I'm sure it is drama you wouldn't care about. But someone hitting themselves in the face with a hammer and then crying about it *would* be pretty dramatic, would it not?

I recall learning to write a program in 6502 ASSM, recoding it to Hex then to Dec values, poking it in using Basic to invoke. It was magic. It was also some 35 years ago.

I do have hope in things like https://youtu.be/IxXaizglscw keep interest going in kids. We still need this skill for micro-controllers and other such hardware.

@Romaq @peterweyand I also learned assembly on the 6502, and recall being very excited when my parents got an IBM-clone with its Intel 8088 and its (relatively) huge 16-bit registers.

I understand why CS focuses on higher-level concepts now, but at the same time I think machine code/assembly programming gives people a lot of valuable insight into the way software and machines work. Not to mention an appreciation for the historical value of the concept of a #Turing machine.
