I studied computer science and mathematics, not software engineering

Could've used a better software engineering class but I use the more abstract knowledge regularly and I think it would be a disadvantage to strip that out and just go straight to "here's how to prompt"

Sorry if I'm straw manning your comment, I do think that the abstract stuff is more important than ever, and would also like to see more philosophy and such required for eng/science/math degrees.

Very funny that if you want to start a bot farm you also go and buy a bunch of random android devices.

IIRC I had some really nasty move/duplication issues with NFS the last time I tried it in Finder.app. (and the whole UID mess)

Seems like a better use of money than weapons and killing each other with said weapons on Earth

Would be cool if you could use this (with 2 probes) to build a wiring net for reverse engineering.

Been doing something similar with a Samsung printer and CUPS for years, it’s great

Found this helpful for generating some of the config files: https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate

It being built in sounds nice, although I have some lines in my config that automatically install lazy if it’s missing.

Used neovim and neovide for the last week (also had FOMO) and while they’re good (no major gripes) I ended up going back to macvim.

Are there specific features you’re missing from vscode?

I'm not saying she's innocent, I just think that we should apply the same standards to everyone, or change/remove the standards.

Especially if you get into a specialized trade for people with money.

I’ve repaired a lot of my historic windows myself because of how expensive it is to get someone else to do it. (Quoted 8k for one leaded glass window) I think it’s become my new backup job if I really am replaced by a computer.

Yes I was alive for that. Just said that because that Mac could take up to 1.5GB of RAM

I do refuse to use a car frequently, I’ll bike or walk because although it’s harder and sometimes scary, there are other times when it’s really great and I feel more connected to the world around me. Also more relaxed after the little bit of exercise.

Personally I also hurt my learning of trig identities and stuff because the symbolic algebra engine on my ti-89 was so good that I could rely on it instead of learning the material. Caught up to me in college with harder calc and physics classes.
