Well-played.

but not calculus or set theory

My computer science curriculum covered calculus - perhaps not as rigorously as the mathematical sciences, but enough for it to be “working” knowledge (personally, I’ve forgotten 90% of it since graduation).

Plus, I am sure a computer science teacher should be at least familiar with these topics, or be capable of picking them up.

That’s basically every trash isekai anime / manga / light novel.

computer scientist / CS teacher, probably the 1960’s

I’m not sure how well of a living they’ve made back then, but surely mathematicians / math teachers were a thing since ancient times.

Perhaps to mess with bots that scrape content?

Maybe some kind of bot detection is done in the background, and humans are able to pass the check easily when they click on the button. Crawlers, on the other hand, would have a harder time getting through.

I guess this is to prevent others from reposting their content easily.

Fantail. It is pretty cute.

If it has to be extinct, then Deinonychus. It is like the Velociraptor, but is actually big enough to mean business.

Privileged.

Tribalism. Humankind haven’t progress beyond the instincts of having in-groups and out-groups.

Until that happens, there will be discrimination. People would see things in black and white instead of understanding there are shades of gray between.

Agree

Personally, I see this as a variation (superset?) of Conway’s Law

“Not having time for it” is usually faulty thinking.

It absolutely is.

The whole point of software design is that any time invested into it pays back multiple times.

Try telling an unreasonable boss this.

My take / how I code:

Method length - when in doubt, and there’s no time to do much thinking due to a tight deadline, shorter is better

(Method length shouldn’t be the determining factor that goes into the design IMO. It should be other principles like cohesion. Shorter methods - on average - just happen to be side-effects of good design)

Comments - generally leave no comment where the code is capable of expressing itself; I do leave comments where it seemed helpful / necessary

Bundling vs TDD - no strong preference; both can be helpful depending on the situation

Bonus: the code for the prime number generator is atrocious. I did not bother reading the sections on it.

What I learnt in school is that polysaccharides are complex sugar (as opposed to simple sugars like glucose).

So they are, by definition, sugar too.

Isn’t there a term for them already? “terminally online”

it’s that there aren’t even any realistic theoretical applications.

Here’s the neat thing about research: the researcher themselves may not even know the kind of outcomes their research would bring about in the future.

It is not necessarily a known unknown in which we work towards a theoretical application; it could very well be an unknown unknown.

OpenCerts

An easy way for employers to verify that your certifications are authentic.

Tangentially, a lot of scientists do research on topics that do not see application in everyday life immediately.

I can’t think of any examples off the top of my head, but I remember reading articles on how some research bear fruit - ones with huge impacts - only decades later.

To stop research into a topic because there is no practical application now is short-sighted IMO.

“People” as in actual humans? None, I think.

If I block those with frequent trash takes, I won’t get to downvote them next time. Other reasonable people would then see their future posts with higher scores.
