I’ll have to check them out, thanks for the suggestion

I’ve seen concerns in comment sections in videos on other channels when he comes up in clips and seen a single video addressing some concerns about his direction, but nothing major to my knowledge.

Same, it was really a disappointment to see his descent. Though as I have later learned, he always spouted a lot of nonsense while acting confident, so he didn’t start out very well either.
Watching a lot of sellsword arts, blumineck and others now instead, though it doesn’t fill exactly the same niche.

I’ve been so disappointed in the direction he has taken his channel. Rogan vibes is such a good way of putting it.

Conscription is just being extended to women the way men have been conscripted for centuries. Usually quite few are actually conscripted as volunteers fill most of the needed positions. The conscription is to my understanding mostly about having a sizable part of the population already trained in a worst case of invasion. This is not really a change in that sense, it has been a gender equality discussion for at least a decade or two. The conscription period is being extended as well, which is probably a result of increased risk posed by Russia, the lack of confidence in the US. Conscripts are however not sent to any frontline so to speak. Of course if an enemy army were to attack a European and or NATO country in what would look like a new world war, that would change, but at that point we are all in a pretty bad spot either way.

It’s for educational use, but myresnak is a programming language entirely in danish ;)

In danish a hippo is called a “flodhest”, also meaning river horse.

I just find it really laborious to organize bookmarks properly when you get into the hundreds, and it’s more work to delete and easier to forget which in practice just means I still have decades old bookmarks I’m not interested in anymore. Tabs at least are in the way so I can remember to close them. I do use a few extensions to make it all a little easier to manage when I do deep dives into something and “need” ~50 new tabs for a little while.

But then the CLI wouldn’t be faster anymore and the whole argument most people keep bringing up falls apart.

It is much faster for the one giving the answer. Also, the looking up the man page is something you only do the first time. With the gui the user should also verify before blindly following instructions, but it is usually harder to find proper documentation of gui features than cli commands.

Also those man pages aren’t even remotely written to be understandable by Linux novices most of the time…

That is a fair point. They are dense, technical and at times pretty hard to read. But when a novice asks for help they are always going to either trust blindly or verify. Verifying can be a difficult task for a novice no matter if gui or cli is suggested. I do think most novices would trust the gui way more and feel more in control of it, even if they are basically doing the same thing.

I second going straight to unity in this case. I startet my programming journey with unity tutorials and my own hobby projects. This gave me a good grasp of many of the fundamentals when I started learning programming at university. It wasn’t comprehensive but it was way more effective than any attempt I had before then due to the motivation and great tutorials available in that space.

Yeah this impromptu AMA has been quite an interesting read

It’s like a clicker game but with scrolling and depression. I’ve attempted to get all the way through it multiple times, but never succeeded.

I got an education in software engineering, not computer science, and my experience is in line yours. I had a few courses about fundamental computer science concepts but most of my education was in learning a little about many different areas of software engineering, specializing in a few. Most of the education involved working as part of a software team, using tools of the trade, applying common design patterns and that sort of stuff, even when courses weren’t explicitly about that.

I would never call myself a computer scientist, I don’t have the education for it, I however immediately had a software engineering job ready after graduating and felt prepared for it from day one.

I love what computer scientists do within the theoretical domain because it eventually seeps into mainstream languages and tools, in a way I benefit from. I’m just not involved with it myself, beyond when it reaches practical application.

An example from work a few weeks ago. I fixed some vibe coded UI code that had made it to prod. The layout of the UI was basically just meant to be an easy overview of information relevant to an item. The LLM had done everything right except it assumed a weird mix of tailwind and bootstrap, mixing and matching css classes from both. After I implemented the classes myself it went from a single column view to grids and nested grids grouping the data intuitively. I talked with the dev who implemented it, and basically it was just something quickly cobbled together with AI until it was passable. The AI had added a lot of extra that served no function and that didn’t conform to a single css framework, but looked like it could. For months noone questioned it despite talk about that part of the UI needing a facelift.

I don’t know how representative it is, but about half the time I’m thoroughly confused about a piece of code and why it was written the way it was, the answer has turned out to be AI. And unlike when a developer wrote it, there rarely is any reason to have written it the weird way.

I switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

Really? That’s really surprising to me. I’m from Denmark where we use 24h time a lot so I’m used to it, but except for edge cases it’s easy to switch between them. Using Fahrenheit however is a struggle. I have to convert it every time, I have no idea about the temperature until I see it in celsius really. I guess it comes down to me having been exposed to both clock formats but only really on temperature unit.

My first thought was that the kid just aced their autism test, but I suppose that depends on what a failure means there

I dual booted my study pc. Well technically I did. I didn’t use windows for a few months without thinking about it and by then I was too afraid of windows corrupting my linux if I ever booted it. So I effectively just had a Linux machine with half half the disk space. Never had a problem with it though.

You fooled me into thinking this post was just a hidden 4974 reference. Really cool write up, I didn’t question it being an actually existing article until reading the replies.

Trump has in short ordered all mentions of scientifically accurate information on gender and sexuality removed from government websites.
