Pretty much sums my experience with windows, something you want will either work fine, or be mysteriously broken beyond repair with no apparent reason. MacOS is like that sometimes, too. Linux is not perfect, but it usually allows for a fix to exist.

Not only them, and I’m not here to blame 😅

There’s no such thing as “zeroith” because it’s called “zeroth — being numbered zero in a series”

This works for building storeys, this would work equally well for tables. The only reason this is not used often is because the series are rarely zero-based in anything that doesn’t also want to equate index and offset.

You’re right that first may be read as “opposite of last”, that would add to the confusion, but that’s just natural language not being precise enough.

Edit: spelling

Edit2: also, if you extend that logic, when you’re presented with an ordinal number, you would need to first check all the options, sort them, and then apply the position you’re asked, that’s not really how people would expect ordinal number to be treated, not me, at the very least

Is there anything more specific to connect Red Bull and alt-right? I’m not exactly a fan of Red Bull, but I wonder if there’s any real reason to avoid them

Edit: I see in another comment

Servus TV is a TV station based in Wals-Siezenheim in the Austrian state of Salzburg and owned by Red Bull Media House GmbH, a subsidiary of Red Bull GmbH … It is politically aligned with the far right.

which is not a 100% convincing of what company as a whole is, but indeed is not good

I was amazed to read that, too. At least, they seem to keep it polite and professional. Kent even agrees that Linus is acting because of the responsibility of the maintainer, not on a whim or out of spite

And freedoms of speech is why one can badmouth others and act racist /s

No, freedom is not absence of any kind of process or rules

I wonder if said AI features run locally, but too lazy to check. Because if it’s not local, it’s a really big security issue no matter the country of origin

Ach, well, a known method to create a nice discussion

I second @hellofriend, I learnt C++ as practical courses in the University.

I could somewhat understand teaching Java as professional education (although it creates positive feedback loop that doesn’t do much good), but not exclusively teaching Java as part of CS degree.

I want to add that getting a degree likely will create a social network and provide experience of working in a team. These days that may be replaced by contributing to open source and going to free conferences (although these seem rare 😢).

So even though I am pro getting at least one first year of CS degree (because it’s the most useful one because teaches to think rather than specifics), I agree that it can be fully replaced by a well though out self-education, and from purely CS standpoint self-education might even be of a better quality.

But yeah, I must disclose that I am a European rubbing free education, and I studied in university not college. So my opinion may be influenced by that and I don’t know if first year in college would’ve been as useful as it was in university.

I’m not familiar with slackware but why is specific kernel called generic, while generic one is not called generic? I’m puzzled

Well, yeah, it is everywhere, but I wouldn’t say that it’s a good language to learn in 2024

Better start with this book, Rust will feel natural after that:

But you are right, it is better suited for one things and worse for other. It’s not strictly functional, though, and most likely when it will have been maturing for as long as C++ or at least C# it will also have tools and features that make it better suited even for game development

26 isn’t old, if you don’t mean that’s your commercial experience with C amount, then it is

The main issue is that it tries to fix government trust issues with private actors trust issues. It’s still trust issues

Well, my experience is that both windows and Mac require you to go command line if you want something unusual even in the slightest

… sincerely

To be fair, without the context, I would be able to apply this to Windows and to some extent even macOS that works better with common hardware but has it’s issues with specific cases

Oh, I sure hope you are right, and since there’s contradictory hearsay I will only know when it happens anyway
