Being comfortable with algebra is kinda essential, however you probably won’t make much use of calculus unless you go into certain parts of the industry such as game development.

Practice makes perfect though, you may suck at maths today, but there’s nothing stopping you from getting better at it if you work at it

Once again, Orban says exactly what Putin wants him to say

At some point it becomes malicious to even print what he says

If a country is actively invading another we usually don’t permit them in international sporting events.

The fans should never have been there, they should never have been welcome until the war is over.

For everyone not aware, given everything else that’s going on—yes, that’s world war

I doubt this comment is for anyone reading but:

If you support this, you are a bad person, a literal caricature villain.

Basically in my experience, when it comes to smart lights it’s generally just worth springing the extra for Philips Hue (and using the hub, not just in Bluetooth mode) unless you want to waste your time and money with other brands. Nothing else seems to be remotely as reliable and easy to work with—and I have zero patience for having to perform tech support on my house lighting.

I’m glad to hear you got your bulbs working though

You’d have thought they’d have learned from losing the browser monopoly they had 15 years ago due to complacency

That thumbnail lol

Okay but what if you use emoji in your password?

Putting everything else aside:

Why do they think they have any right to be platformed by Google, a private American company?

Can I demand that anti Putin content be platformed on VK or they have to pay me genuinely absurd fines?

I think that would categorically be world war at that point. I was more going on about seriously denouncing this kind of thing as being on the road to world war, before we get to that point

So when do we start seriously saying this is looking like we’re escalating into world war here?

I think heat typically intensifies over time: anecdotally, leftover hot food is always hotter a couple of days after it was freshly made

Everything about the Gingko tree is pretty cool

Politics is not just the relationship between two people, it’s the relationship between a person and everyone/everything else in the world.

Reducto ad absurdum: would you suggest a world where every country is at war with everyone else would foster a better environment for global FOSS collaboration than one where the world was at complete peace?

I honestly thought the statement you quoted was entirely uncontroversial. “Healthy” and “global” being the key words, I’m not saying it’s a requirement for FOSS to exist in general or anything.

It’s a fact of life that politics permeates everything, nothing is in isolation of the political climate it exists within.

The state of the world today is a function of the politics that got us here, a big change in world politics can have dramatic and far reaching effects.

A healthy global FOSS culture requires collaborative politics to be the flavour of the day—which is unfortunately not the case in a lot of countries currently.

I think UIs are more typically patented if they do something unique.

I’m pretty sure we know there are some trademarked UI elements though—I’d be surprised if the start button wasn’t a Microsoft trademark at least when they launched windows 95

Agree on the application side, but when it comes to the test suite, I’m definitely gonna consider letting an AI get that file started and then I’ll run through, make sure the assertions are all what I would expect and refactor anything that needs it.

I’ve written countless tests in my career and I’m still gonna write countless more, but I’m glad I can at least spend less time on laborious repetition now and more time on the part of the job I actually enjoy which is actually solving problems.

It’s the express, you’re better off never reading a word they print
