Mate, you've no idea how much I could related to your story. I've a bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering. Looking back at those subjects, I feel like I didn't have the maturity needed to appreciate the depth and meaning

I honestly thought, this was related to the ex-prime minister of Australia (Scott Morrison).

You're not wrong. But I don't think I claimed anywhere that IQ is a measure of general intelligence. Neither does it mean that people with higher IQ will necessarily be more successful. But being at the extreme ends of IQ spectrum

I'm not sure if the OP is the original author. It looks like the original author is only 14 years old. They may have picked up programming skills and possibly have higher IQ compared to their classmates or peers. It can often make it

Everyone is at a different stage in their lives. It feels like the author hasn't had much challenges and found most of the work boring. I agree with some of the points the author has raised but not all. I don't agree with your com

I understand the importance of diversity, inclusivity and equal-opportunities etc.. But this looks quite bad on her part. Some of her comments are in fact racist. BTW, I'm a brown guy!

I can't help but look at this thing with nothing but cynicism. While `surfsvammel` has given one scenario where it could be useful in a positive way, I think the negative aspects of this far outweighs the positives.

It's been pointed out that Hydrogen fuel cell is less energy efficient in its current form. It's true and it'll probably needs a lot more research before it's viable and is competitive against battery powered cars.

I think in a way it's good that we didn't do that in the sixties. Nuclear reactors are a lot more advanced and safer these days. Probably never too late to get onto it.

This is really exciting. I wish we had nuclear power here in Australia. I know I might get downvoted for this comment. But with advancement in technology and large amount nuclear fuel (Uranium deposit) available, it's a great choice. 1

Actually, you're correct. The only reason I can think of is curiosity. Beyond that it has very little importance, to me personally. That's why I may never do it. But it definitely looks fun. I don't know about Haskell but I&#

Yes, of course. Glad you're enjoying programming in it. I'd love to learn it for fun if I didn't have any time constraints. Dabbling in a bit of StandardML and F# at the moment. Just to get a basic understanding of functional

Thank you kind stranger. I actually chose to learn a bit of StandardML to understand functional programming, but every now and then when I see a post like this I get tempted to try Racket as well. I've got a copy of SICP on my desk and

Perfect timing. Thanks for posting this. I recently bought a Microbit V2 and Raspberry Pi Pico with a few sensors and a breadboard. Excited to play with these. Thanks to everyone who've suggested informative sources as well. Cheers.

To each to their own. It's quite evident that the author simply dislikes MacOS. Many of these problems if these can be labelled as such, aren't really serious issues for the majority of users. And in some cases it seems that the a
