What is insane, is how many people studied computer science but are totally unable to apply mathematics to the problems they try to solve.
Could you elaborate on this? My experience during my computer science education was that a lot of maths was required, but just usually not the same kind of maths as most of the rest of mathematics, because continuous stuff doesn't apply most of the time.
I think a big difference between the way maths and programming is done however is the way it is written. Mathematics is usually about stating a relation as an equation, i.e. x = y^2. But programming can't just state the relation, it needs to also state how to compute that relation. Honestly my confusion is that maths has never focused more on the computation part of it, it seems very weird to me.
Kind of a strange blog post. Clearly it requires a lot of technical knowledge, yet it explains basic TypeScript syntax and variables and how to use an editor. While simultaneously showing SQL code. There doesn't seem to be a clear target audience to this.
If you disable... needs to be configured... just have to install the packages
And this is exactly the problem. I suppose there might be a way to fix it, but if Windows can just make it work for me, why can't Linux do the same? All this "Oh you just need to do X and Y" should be unnecessary bullshit.
Also, it's not that it doesn't work at all on Linux, but it works sporadically. For instance, when the system goes to sleep and needs to wake up, the screens sometimes turn on, sometimes they don't and I need to pull the plug and reconnect. This is never necessary on Windows.
... Unless of course you're trying to connect two external monitors through a docking station with a USB-C into the laptop with a closed lid and disabled inbuilt screen.
Unfortunately, in my experience, Linux routinely fails at this task (tried many different distros) while Windows "just works".
Almost every community in the fediverse is full of this crap. Things aren’t removed because they’re harmful, they’re removed because some mod disagrees.
You should start your own instance it sounds like :P
"Tech" journalists spend way too much time in the headlines of other outlets, getting a much too shallow idea of the actual tech that they're supposed to cover. It's quite sad that this is the state of so-called tech journalism.
Why is this posted in the fediverse community? I get that you think this is important, but this is an international community and many here have no way to influence American politics. It's also just off topic.
Isn't the problem with banning ads that you'd just gets "ads" that aren't marked as such? Like, ads are still going to happen, they just won't be clearly marked cause that would be illegal.
EDIT: Would love to hear how the downvoters would enforce an advertisement ban. What happens when an influencer randomly endorses a brand and then that brand also just coincidentally happens to give the influencer a "generous donation" or perhaps a life-time usage coupon?
[PieFed] seems to be strongly opinionated about how people should behave and it kinda gives me an icky feeling about its culture
Yea, I get this same feeling. It's not that I mind that culture or being mindful of how people behave and such - I just don't think that is the domain of the software to decide. Individual instances can decide that for themselves, but the software shouldn't influence that kind of thing, I feel.
