"how to problem solve" and "use logic" are, I believe, myths. When you teach someone to implement quicksort, all you've done is taught them to implement quicksort. Classroom based lectures and rote memorization do not impart any kind of broader "problem-solving" ability. This is an ex post rationalization by the perpetrators of the education system to justify their own existence. I place the value of what they do very low

If it's about problem solving and using logic, why do we need to memorize quicksort? That's not an example of using logic or problem solving

I want the ability to fully detach each view, pin/unpin, etc. like I can in visual studio.

I guess what I want is visual studio, but with the language and plugin support of vscode.

Maybe "blocky" isn't the right word, but I dislike that everything is just a flat rectangle and not very readable. There's no depth and very poor visual separation. I would like a document type UI where I can rearrange the components arbitrarily, like in Visual Studio

I would say I care more about other causes, and also it's not like I was somehow an Azure customer anyways. You gotta pick like 2 or 3 causes to spend your energy on or you'll just be in a bad mood all the time

Man do I hate discord though

I bought the first switch so I could play Breath of the Wild. That and Mario Odyssey are really the only two games I've put a significant amount of time into on the platform.

I use it as a form of google, basically. I ask it coding questions a lot, some of which are a bit more philosophical. I never allow it to write code for me, though. Sometimes I'll have it check my work

Yes but everything is more expensive than ever

I think the reddit/lemmysphere is really underestimating just how many Nintendo fans are casual gamers who don't see the PS5, Xbox, or Steam deck as viable competitors. They want to play Animal Crossing, Zelda, and Mario Kart.

You are too young to be a failure

In what way? Who would disturb me?

Better yet just start earlier in the day. I don't enjoy staying up past 10 anymore

When I was 16 I could get 4 or 5 people to come over to my house on a week night with almost zero advanced notice. I am now 30 and

1. I don't know 4 or 5 people
2. It would take 3-4 weeks to get everyone's schedule to line up
3. Half of everyone would cancel because they didn't feel like going out

My company told us we need to get prior approval before using AI tools at our company

So we're only allowed to agree with things now?

I'm not giving up, I'm just going to focus on the issues that are personally important to me

I could probably find a thousand things you spend your money on that hurt people in some way, but I'm not going to hold you to that insane standard because I don't believe in ideological purity tests

I liked the first one, but I agree the 2nd is much better arranged. The first sounds like a concept album (which it is) and the 2nd sounds like a soundtrack to a musical (which it also is)
