Specially on programming languages, I hate that all of them are on the absolute basic and assumes no previous knowledge.
For example: already having some knowledge in C, Java, Python, Haskell etc and want to learn more of C++.
All tutorials found are how to make hello world and how to declare a variable and other super basic stuff, not the difference of struct/class or pointer/reference.

I want tutorials that assumes previous knowledge and really showcases the unique features of that language.

Dangerous with infinite loops. 😉

I upgraded a laptop a couple of months ago. Then it seemed as if their way of not allowing win 7 to be upgraded anymore was to hide the link from their website only...
But if you search for and download the upgrade wizard nothing is stopping you and it will glady take your win 7 key and install win 10.

If the problem for the IT department is that they don't configure anything but can buy it for you I would check out something like system76 laptops. Seems really good and they work hard optimising their Ubuntu-based Pop_OS for their hardware.

https://system76.com/laptops

The laptop is an Asus UX305LA and it's only 3½ years old so I didn't expect this to happen yet.

Had not seen it before and now see it everywhere...

Damn you!
Hopefully I can forget that.

@Root I errr.. Apparently forgot a *not* but oh well... 🙃

I also know some that are afraid of a new copyright version kind of patent trolls: Anonymously uploading copyrighted material and then force money out of the companies for not implementing a "good enough" filtering system.

Many people are afraid what the "best effort" will entail, if I create a video platform, would I have implement a filtering system such as YouTube? They kind are the industry standard, but their budget for this task would likely be exponentially higher than my entire startup capital, and their system is not perfect in the slightest.

There are many companies that are hesitant to these rules due to the unclear wording and while their "best effort" should be good enough, the "you could be directly liable for anything on your site, no matter if you allow such content or not" are making companies afraid.

@sbiewald yes, your company need to pass all three cases to be exempt from the rule. So if you have a forum of ~500 users but had it for 3+ years, you need to implement some sort of filtering.

Mind you, such a small forum would probably not even be noticed, but that is still not a non-zero chance.

Plus, they have to do a couple of code exams on some thin clients which don't have anything better than emacs/vim so they better learn it before...

@Pickman well, I might have agreed with you if I didn't gone through the course and assist in it now. First, this is just one small in a myriad of tasks they can/have to present, I've never heard of anyone failing it.

Why it's in at all is more about showing the students that there are tools out there and how they can benefit you. I've seen people in their first year use the standard Microsoft notepad... But it's also somewhat to encourage them to start using simple and "dumb" editors in the beginning so they learn the language, not how an IDE autocompletes.
Which is why there is also an optional task for configuring the editor to suit them better in their programming (linters keyboard shortcuts, rainbow parentheses for example).

@netikras the biggest issue is the change on who is the responsible party.

Previously if a person uploaded a video with copyrighted material he/she would be liable for copyright infringement and YouTube would take down the video so that they, now that it is actively known, actively distribute unauthorised material.

With article 13. YouTube themselves will be liable for all material they allow to be uploaded on their platform, and not the uploader.

As a teaching assistant, one task they have to do is use their editor without the mouse. I find it hilarious how every vim-using student knows how to close vim, but no one seems to know how to close emacs without using the mouse, or killing the process externally...

Luckily it costs nothing.

Never worked with opencl but with cuda one and you should definitely be able to run more than 256 threads. You might not be able to run more than that in a single block but you should be able to run multiple blocks concurrently.

Sure, I only did it once in a school - assignment but we could run at least 1024 threads concurrently on a GTX 680 or some similarly old card

@nitwhiz it's quite logical depending on how you look at it

English:
Million = 1000¹ thousands
Billion = 1000² thousands

German(and Swedish):
Million = 1000000¹
Mill-iarde = 1000000^½
Billion = 1000000²

The color is semi-transparent. It changes from dark or pink depending if your browser renders "full-transparency" as black or white.
Devrants compression probably removes transparency entirely (RGBA -> RGB) therefore becomes red.
The light green version should be since the chatbubble was green.

But only on github repos?
So yours is spared, or did you just sacrifice a puppy in an effort to try and save the rest? 🤔

Well, sometimes the algorithm works in mysterious ways...

What kind of corrections do you find is most beneficial in rust?
I'm working on a thesis project that references rust a lot on how it visualise compiler messages and what it can correctify, so I'm most interested in what people find is most helpful.

(which I guess also means what do people always fail to code right in the first place... 😅)

At my uni we have a kiosk named foobar. Given your font is a little reminiscent of the carlsberg logo, this is awesome! 😃

If I remember correctly kotlin is a weakly typed language but only under certain conditions. That's how you don't have to type-cast an object in the true block of an "if instanceof"-statement. But I think the compiler still forces you to have checked beforehand that the type conversion is valid.

No, having dinner.

... Fuck.

My thoughts:
Make the introduction a lot easier, like a lot bigger playarea and zoomed out, so it feels like it goes slower and the blocks are smaller. You can zoom in and cut it off later. If it takes about 5-8 tries to even survive 20 seconds, the players are gonna leave the game before getting hooked.

And don't "start" the game before getting the first tap. My best score is from not moving at all... 😉

Able to download torrents but don't know that electronic devices need power? Wtf?

Oh I sometimes dabble in calculus but it would be nice to someday learn those pluses and minuses... 🙃

Sadly, the taste is a little meh...
Otherwise I would drink my teeth out and feel somewhat fairtrade good about myself.
