If you look at the comments in khan academy there are tonnes of people asking for real life applications—that said, they’re given in most of the material there. Inspiring students (and showing the material can help them in their lives addit

This is a democratic worry: unhappy people are pliable people and are more likely to vote for demagogues, demagogues who are more a wrecking ball than a manager of state.

I've often though about an AI website that generates propaganda. But, explicitly, and on purpose, and label it as such in the text. To show what putin/israel/hamas/the uk/the us/uae/china wants us to see a

I’m not sure how safe networking and similar folk are either. You’ll still need experts who understand the generated network code, and experts who can untangle the generated code, but not so many. Code will be a tool used by non-experts; f

Write your business logic in Kotlin with Kotlin libraries. Write your UI in Js/Android/iOS.

by tarkin2 3y ago
I’ve seen this used in a number of mobile shops when they need/want native frontends and to want share business logic, db use, networking etc. (My only gripe is that Kotlin more or less forces you to use IJ and gradle but most are happ

I'm impressed but it's weird to compliment a non Brit on their perfect British accent when they don't sound like you, a British person...
133.
by tarkin2 3y ago
In fact, I find it strange when Germans, for example, have a 'perfect British accent'. Even I would say it's perfect. Problem is, no one speaks like that... except the Germans. It also goes with grammatical accuracy as well.

Doom-mongering--correct or not--doesn't add to the debate.

Once the marketers found out you could make money from blogs, they became insincere/fronts. Once your employers became aware of your blog, they became sedated online portfolios. Social media has obviously taken people away from long-fo

Academia is a very small part of the electorate. Academia, and anyone in the sciences, by and large, have always known. The Brexit populace and their media, you could argue, are slowly realising. The vote was an emotional and not a cold and

Lit seems very lightweight before. Has it got a bit more 'frameworky'?

I think three would be the main reason for me. Although I'm not sure if I even deal with that much data which would benefit from that kind of insight. But who knows.

I worry this is often the case. I like the idea of learning maths for maths sake. And I would love the time to do that. But knowing I have a limited amount of time, I often suspect a lot of people extolling the benefits of understanding th

I still don't know how category theory will help me as a programmer. I understand, and agree, that small functions, composed, are easier to understand and maintain, easier to port and easier to build upon than large monolithic function

In the context of the currently defined job market, then jobs certainly will go down, in the same way the job market for switch operators went down. In the longer term, then there's a fairly good argument more jobs, and specifically mo

Jetpack Compose, and Kotlin coroutines, mixed with kotlin multiplatform code, came and made many things nicer, especially UI. With so many libraries and so many ways of doing things with so many opinions it’s still hard to digest of course.

Data point of one: I'm slightly more reluctant to share. I'm less inclined to help when I'm helping a machine automate me away. Right or wrong, that's how I'm currently feeling.
