using AI for education is one of the worst ideas for education.

if you need to "learn AI" - your AI sucks.

Did it ever matter? My gmail address had been in the open for 22 years. I have more problems with people sharing the same first name and using my email for registrations than the spam.

Try doing Advent of Code with Ruby. It is perfect for that, much better than Python which is most popular according to the AoC users survey. At least it looks way more elegant and having lots of useful built-ins (.tally, .select/.reject, .count, .sum, .combination(n), .permutation(n), etc. etc.) does not hurt either.

Not pixel count determines whether camera is advanced or not.

I use this "charge port at the bottom hurr-durr" remarks as a sure sign of people who never used the product.

React is cargo cult at the moment and has been for years already. People will just use react because everybody is using react, no matter if it makes sense or not.

Alas, one can argue that the current events are the result of the culture that spans centuries :(

I have a harsher take, 95% where react is used it is used without the need.

Are you talking about macOS Sequoia? There will be not "deep integration" of ChagtGPT, in fact you get prompted when system wants to "outsource" a request to ChatGPT and you can refuse it.

I still consider those years to be the golden years of the web development. When the fruits of web standards movement started to appear. Alas, then came react and all the good stuff was thrown out of the window. I guess tag soup is palatable, when it is buried deep in node_modules.

It is not. macOS/iOS had it for a long time with AppKit, UIKit. But the progression is usually this: you start with Interface Builder and storyboards or .xibs, then you see the problem with that and gradually move to code-only UI and then start looking at SwiftUI with it's declarative UI like a guy in that meme. GUI for layout just does not cut it, especially when your app runs in very different environments - it can be macOS, it can be a phone or just a smartwatch/widget.

В связи с геополитическими изменениями домен pos.su переименован в pos.ru

Kind of a stranger fart joke, what it says is that because of the geopolitical changes the domains will be renamed. But the first one can be read as "I'll piss" and the second one "I'll poop".

Simple and useless. You can have any system you want for your personal use, but clocks and calendars are for colaboration. It's nice that you have day and night hours on the clock where you are. No you will travel a few thousand kilometers. You know your decimal time you get there, do you know whether it will be daytime or nighttime? You get there, and it is winter and the dark time is 3x of the daytime. Have you got any idea when anything opens and closes? And why have weeks if you don't have months. How about just numbered days?

Same. I could only access computer at university, so I wrote programs at home and then just typed them in when I got access.

So you think, when someone upgrades their phone they throw perfectly working "old" phone into trash?
