  • we need math in programming because math is the best language for describing the universe…
    you don’t really need much to do a lot of stuff, but it’s a very math like thing… the computer was invented as a general purpose math machine, programming languages are rather similar to math… variables, functions, etc….
    imo they make students take way too much math and it ends up being “just prove that you could do this, not that you’ll need to”.
    like, “multivariable calculus with analytic geometry” isn’t needed for anything unless you’re doing scientific work….








  • what’s not clicking is that half of the “people” trying super hard to make biden into the antichrist actually do want trump to win and are arguing disingenuously.

    the time to complain about biden was the last three years, the time to complain about trump is now.

    if their only political opinion is about how bad biden really is… and they never talk about trump, russia or ukraine…
    then it’s a duck










  • literally nobody cares how you feel about the evolving usage of english goes…
    btw, the original meaning of “literally” was the same as figuratively… literally as in literature… i.e. fictional, metaphorical…

    should we freeze English right now and refuse all new definitions of words? or just accept that it’s a living language that changes with its speakers?

    After months of claiming that Apple’s privacy protections had stalled its investigation, the Justice Department said Monday that it had accessed a terrorism suspect’s iPhone

    it took “months” for the fbi to crack one iphone, that belonged to a terrorist…
    and that was in 2020, those holes have long been patched.

    so, no they can’t.
