The thing many parents get wrong about education is to think that the kid learns what you tell it. You tell the kid X is dangerous, so now the kid learned X is dangerous. That is not how it works at all . What the kid learns is that it can

When I grew up my parents literally had no understanding of what the internet was, nor what I was doing on it. That wasn't a problem because all the rest of the upbringing they did prepared me well to handle every situation I encounter

The US' main problem (seen from the outside) is that there seems to be no long term strategy just a sports-like us-versus-them mentality, where each team just thinks about how they can win more by making others lose. Winning the points

I think exposing more of the internals helps. Consider what a mechanic can extract from the sound of an engine: in that sound a lot of information about the state of that engine is encoded. And it is a lot more than some programmer could

Is it tho? If you don't speak Hungarian and you have a Hungarian friend write a text for you that you submit to a collection of worthy Hungarian poetry, do you really think you are the correct person to answer questions about the tex

I'll say it as it is: if you can't read code, but have a friend write it for you, you are in fact the wrong person to submit it, since you are the most exhausting person to deal with. A human in the loop that doesn't unde

I think it depends on the pay. You pay below the living wage? Better live with your sla.. ah employees.. serving charcoal. You pay them well above the living wage? Now we start to get into they should care -territory.

"Yes, but you submitted it to us." If you're illiterate and can't read maybe don't submit the text someone has written for you if you can't even parse the letters.

The absolutely "leetest" thing I have ever seen was a device where the firmware update was to be done by: 1. Hold a button while booting (pretty normal) 2. This reconfigures the circuit path of one of the LEDs so it is reverse-bia

Depends on how complex it is meant to be. Just like many wordpress sites that could easily have been static websites, many javascript heavy sites could have easily just have been using htmlx. If your need really , goes beyond what htmx off

Thw one thing Rust n3eds the most is to explain the why of these semantics better. Why do you need to borrow and which elegant programs can you build with it?

As someone who has done more than one hardware project: most people generally have got no idea how pricing comes to be. Usual points involve: - not understanding that a manufacturer has to charge more than parts cost ("But the parts

Not only lonely, this feels downright anxiety-driven. A secure person who has their shit together knows that some people do in fact have valuable opinions and they won't be afraid to ask in public. And they know that too: two thirds of

Had the same thought. ChatGPT often tells me things like: "This is the hard truth" or "I am telling it to you as it is (no fluff)" or whatever. Just because my initial prompt contains a line about it not making things up

Idk. My main frustration with Linux has nothing to do with the OS itself. Linux is pretty good actually. My main frustration has to do with software that doesn't run on Linux that I have to use occasionally. So things that force me no

I was wondering about this as well. Now I would like about the performance of that multiplier and what kind of multiplication to expect from it (4-quadrant?), but the summing, subtraction and integrator circuits are bog-standard and the fir

"This is somewhat better, but why is it so drab and colourless? Is the machine trying to make me depressed?" They asked the machine to produce a picture from a dystopian place and somehow expected the machine to know they like it

A good square is a place where a human being can be. That means if you want it to be vibrant the connecting streets also have to be places where humans want/need to be. And I specifically mean humans who walk and not cars. But how do t

Well not all content is meant to be read in order. A layout like this is good for content where you want to incentivise users to read in whichever order you like. So if the order is confusing you, chances are there wasn't meant to be

Your words are displaying the mindset that is the main driving force behind the currently ongoing decline of the American empire. Incredible hubris paired with ignorance and a lack of self reflection. Great qualities if you want to go furth

Not to be that guy, but the design of C is both incredibly opinionated and those opinions demonstrably made/make systems insecure. And I say this as someone who programs C/C++ on embedded. Just because C has a lot undefined bahv

If you build a house out of inflammable bricks instead of magnesium ones you can at least rule out magnesium fires. Now the question is: If we live in a world where magnesium fires are common, can we afford to not at least try building wi

During my freelancer-time one of the things my clients valued most was (A) my speed and (B) how precisely I could give them a timeline ahead of time and keep it (aside from the occasional client-induced change). I am convinced you recognize

Looks good to me. Have you considered adding a really practical realworld example? As someone who loves looking at examples I like your small examples in the readme, but it still leaves me wondering a bit what I actually would use this li

And I don't even think it is controversial. People who squat on needed resources without using them are a drain on society, thus society should try to create an incentive structure for using spaces. A tax can be part of this.

Turns out "anti-woke" was just a rebrand of good old bigotry. I am shocked.
