People are referring to social politics when they say reddit is left heavy, which is certainly true. Yes, economic politics in America is more right leaning than most of Europe but even still I have a hard time believing reddit pushes towar

Well since that edit of his was from 1 day ago, hopefully he does show the little proof he has remaining soon. I am wary of his claims too.

I think the issue is so many jobs require a college degree for no other purpose than further general education skills. I am of the opinion that public schooling needs to be extended to include these skills and then we still need higher educ

This is exactly it. With most games being designed around HDD speeds, storage is rarely the bottle neck. It’s why testing game loading times with different SSDs is so inconsistent amongst different games. This will change as the new lowest

This is not great logic, as those games are not designed around taking advantage of the faster SSD storage like new games will be with the launch of the new consoles. Most games are built with an HDD in mind and thus the ssd is not the bott

I think your point about different universities giving different focuses on math/real world tool, etc is a great point. I’ve heard of an incredibly broad range of “computer science” degrees from various universities.
