Are you sure it's not just confirmation bias plus a bad perception of how smart you and your same-age friends were when you were young? Sounds like that to me. Kids look normal to me, some of them probably smarter than I was back when

My theory is just that Web Development is immensely popular, probably 90% of jobs in my country (as an example) are either frontend or API backend; 50% of those jobs might be frontend. It's much much more likely a company needs to ship

I disagree, it's not the same level of hype. My mom is talking about GPT whilst she had no opinion about microservices or jQuery.

You can check the Awwwards ( https://www.awwwards.com/websites/nominees/ ) for some ideas about current web design. Personally, I have no hard feelings about anything in particular since I mostly reminisce of old we

If you are running something that is considered dangerous knowingly (not saying AI is, just a supposition) and you mishandle it and it causes damage then you should be the one found liable. I don't think researchers are to blame, it&#x

Crafting Interpreters is probably the one that hits all the right notes for me. It's not dull, it's very hands on, it has excercises, it teaches you a very useful subject, it has illustrations, it's up to date, etc. I reall

In my university it's similar, not math as in Calculus, but very theory-heavy courses with math-heavy notation and proof-based exercises. Still, most people once they get into the industry do really well, I think learning to code in yo

Absolutely not more efficient when dealing with Mathematics or math-heavy notation which is 90% of my notes. Maybe an iPad might help but it's out of my budget right now.

I've personally had a very good experience with Haxe and Haxeflixel ( https://haxeflixel.com/ ) although Heaps ( https://heaps.io/ ) seems to be more popular nowadays. Haxe is very nice as a language, can

I have not used Pharo yet, but I've used Cuis Smalltalk for a college class and it was one of the most fun experiences while writing code that I had since my first steps back when I was a kid. I'm pretty eager to learn more about

It's probably a superior editor but it's not a superior "IDE". I think at this point we might consider VSCode as such.

In High School we read a book with a lot of sci-fi short stories and this one is probably the one that I remember the most.

Not OP but imho as soon as possible; whatever major understanding pieces you are lacking you will have to learn while making the project. There are also language concepts that will not make much sense when learning without context from a bo

Yeah obviously, but as long as the kid is interested in bulding an OS from the ground up, if he wants to do webdev, 3d design, music production, writing or whatever, it's just gonnna be an useless hassle. And this comes from someone wh

Have you used Linux recently? Windows 11 and Windows 10 with the last updates as well are just awful in terms of UI; the UX works more or less alright, but many of the default applications, and specially the settings, control panel, etc. ar

Maybe for Sr devs, Jrs probably get around $5/hr in my country from Accenture. p.s. And many times, companies like Accenture will tell you they have a team of 5 Sr developers working on it when it's actually 1 Sr and 4 Jrs.

Wonder why a "The Sims" competitor hasn't appeared yet, would the lack of branding and general "charm" of The Sims(like Simlish) be a dealbreaker?

I usually enjoy Newport but... this was rather underwhelming? It's basically "do a lot of proofs and study consistently not just 48hs before the exam". Most if not all of my math and some comp-sci courses would require this,

Any suggestions for more conventional Statistics books? (Math-oriented, with proofs if possible). I'm reading Devore's one for Engineering and the Sciences and it's pretty good but I'm having a bit of hard time with p-va
