I enjoy hiking and bake at home, both maybe cause dust like matter to destroy a very expensive device.

A foldable costs more than my laptop and tablet combined. While being less resilient and less capable.
I’m not going to pay premium for a device that will break if it get exposed to dust.
I will pay premium for durability, fixability, modularity and for gnu/Linux that mobile device that can interface with android apps that society forces me to use.
After the shit they pulled with the Nokia 9 PureView, how can someone bet money on their crap?
Print that on my gravestone if I have one.
I don’t see a reduced number of CS students that enjoy poking around. I see an increase in the number of students that are there only for the good salary. Making the poking type into a smaller percentage.
I have two professors that I have strong memory of.
The first thought classes that she was not qualified to teach. Using methods outside her narrow window of understanding hurt your score. She set a rule that if you ask for her to recheck a question on the final you will lose 20 points. On my final I had a minus 20 because she doesn’t understand powers of 2.
The second is brilliant but very absent minded. Gave us a badly worded question. It was meant to be a very hard question and I didn’t know the subject well enough to solve it. Used mathematical logic to prove he didn’t ask what he thought he was asking. And solved the very easy question he actually asked.
He gave me a perfect score and a job.
Following the flow chart I came to the conclusion that plastic dinosaurs are real dinosaurs.
Simple text editor. To create failing test by hand, closing in on a bug in the code.
Bioinformatics isn’t used only for medical research or within big companies. Sub-topics like metagenomics, that are helpful in many areas of research, require high level of technical knowledge, that the life science people don’t have.
You can work in bioinformatics, the pay is lower than FAANG, but your code will benefit society.
They are not limiting their foot print to 1/4 acre. They are using bikes, using glass and forge the forest.
It’s like offloading your aluminum production to another country and claiming you are living 100% on renewable.
Current western left wing values is too broad of a term.
From great ideas such as equal rights, that goes into the small details. Phrasing questions in classrooms to males only for examples. With great science behind it to show that it in fact removes success bias for males in maths.
To destructive ideas such as diversity hires.
From great ideas such as financial help to disabled people.
To destructive ideas such as forcing small businesses to be accessable with heavy fines that may break them.
From great ideas such as opposing the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
To destructive ideas such as supporting Hamas. Which is a big WTF for me.
This is brilliant
Communism is also a stinking pile of shit.
This shit is so misleading. Fascism isn’t the only authoritarianism. They too are anti-fascists. But you don’t get free speech.
Nor is it a white only problem, or deadly only to Jewish people.
Importance of order changes by field. In my field, at least for in lab work: first is the main lab person that worked on the project. Last is the PI, everyone that helped goes in the sandwich. I’m unsure about collaborations between labs and at that point too afraid to ask.
This is brilliant
A folding solar panel to charge electronics using USB.
A small radio+torch+USB port that can be charged with a spinner and a solar panel.
Partial documentation combined with complex code will be great for your bank account.
Code fast, and badly, always under promise and over deliver. Before the shit hits the fan, move to another place.
Next person after you will take the blame. You may be hired again at premium as you can deliver. Blame the replacement Dev for breaking the code and causing a lot of damage.
Fix the little that is possible, at premium rate and move on.
