I'm sure some in the USA does want war so they can make a profit selling weapons. Not to mention, getting most allies to sanction Russia made people rely on the USA for oil. With Taiwan, it could be semiconductors? Even though our fabs are nowhere near, it will be the only option.
There's a difference. Compare tiktok getting banned to blocking asml, microchips, etc, there's no contest. One is core to technological advancement, the other is not a necessity. If the USA doesn't want China to compete on their turf then that's fine, but they're preventing china from competing in all other countries as well
Yikes, I want more competition as a consumer not less. I hope they will produce good chips of their own then. Nuts how this just keeps blowing up after trump started it
I actually find the immediate feedback from khan academy exercises better than school actually. The feedback loop is much more tighter instead of waiting an entire week later for results and not really getting another go at it. I also tend to zone out or miss something in the lecture, and that missed thing is what builds the entire foundation for everything else and then the entire lecture is pointless. With video based lectures, I can pause, go back, play 2x speed, look at multiple well produced explanations, etc. Ultimately I don't find face to face all that valuable a various amount of subjects.
I found this podcast about the author and the motivations for the book quite interesting, tl;dw , UGRAD textbooks are a huge mess forced by a committee of profs trying to get the most broad one that will cover the needs of most classes among other things.
Yep, compared to MediaWiki(last time I set it up was like ~7 years ago) it was such a hassle to setup. I think my main complaint about Doku is that it's built on PHP. I haven't tried to hardcore customize things other than installing plugins and templates though so I can't say how easy it is to extend.
The author wrote critiques of mediawiki, tiddly, but what about Doku? It's mentioned in the article but I was wondering what's bad about doku since the setup process isn't too bad imo.
vscode is open source, there are forks(vscodium) where all the microsoft stuff is removed and you can audit it yourself if you think its sending tracking data back
the biggest adoption it would have gotten is that it was going to be used the main language of vrscripting https://youtu.be/ydyztGZnbNs but it seems like john couldnt push it everyone into it
it doesn't, https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/racket/
according to arch its ~500MB. The installer is ~200 but unpacked is all the documentation and etc. The switch to Chez Scheme backend has upped the size because it no longer outputs bytecode but machinecode directly
Not just css but the entire web is an abomination. We could have had a uniform language to express html, css, and javascript, and that is lisp/scheme/s-expressions. Instead we got javascript that has to hack and manipulate css and html because they don't/didn't have the notion of variables and loops. CSS is the absolute worst and just needs to die
Khan academy's findings point in the other direction.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm really seeing completion rates being argued as why moocs failed, and I don't agree with it being the indicator of measuring effectiveness.
John wanted racket to be the main scripting language for vr apps that are lightweight and don't need a lot of horsepower. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ydyztGZnbNs
