True. We must not forget that it’s a deliberate decision by EU bureaucrats rather than genuine incapacity. All it takes is a political decision to turns things around in the span of a couple years.

Ancient bitcoiners saw bitcoin dip from 20k$ to 3k$ and from 69k$ to 16k$, and you complain about a “dip” to 80k$ and that the “bubble popped”.
YOU ARE GAY.

I said it in another comment, but if the filesystem must be unix-like, we could only have one root.
Unrelated to my previous comment; possible suggestions to complete this proposal:
- Permissions must be handled (read, write, not execute since this is mainly for storage)
- information node structures for all the metadata (also related to permissions)

Just like he said, we don’t have agree with everything he’s advocating.
Europe would benefit from putting Big Tech in check, but not through excessive regulation that suffocate us, but by having our own vibrant tech industry.
His talk about the need to industrialize again and the need to pull our own weight is on point. And I personally liked the recurring reference to our shared civilization and our shared history.

All my immediate friends agree with me and like what he’s saying. Some colleagues at work feel like he’s being disrespectful, but honestly, this proves he’s right.
Vance: “you guys don’t accept free speech anymore”

Being an ordinary european, I’m fully on board with his speeches, whether at the AI summit in Paris, or the security conference in Munich. There isn’t a spec of dust on what he said.

2025-02-15 12:25:05

It’s very satisfying watching JD Vance lecture european bureaucrats, and them just sitting there taking it knowing full well they have to follow the US course.

That’s the truth of the world. It doesn’t make tragedies any less tragic, but if you can’t defend your property, then you’ll lose it to someone who can defend it better. The world is not just, the world is not fair.

Start with C. Easier syntax, closer to Python than C++, and it could help as a stepping stone towards C++.
Start by learning the syntax, how to compile C code, the first principles. And then take some Python code and reimplement it in C.
When you’ve mastered the basics in C, move on the C++.

Having parents implicated in your education is paramount.
Maybe this is the most important thing we’re lacking. Capable parents overseeing the education of their children.
But not to the level of tiger moms and helicopter parents obviously.

Exactly. I don’t expect everyone to read the Odyssey in homeric greek. However, I’d like most people to know who Odysseus is.

It’s very difficult to enforce it.
You can gauge it out during interviews and essay reviews and factor it in while examining applicants. However, this requires an organic cultural shift within the educational institutions.

Fine, don’t listen to me, stay in 2019. Let these wokists have a monopoly on the institutions that generate and maintain your culture, and then keep wondering how they’re gaining ground.

Filter it out. Don’t go into debt to get a liberal arts degree. You could read John Milton on your own.
Look at history, most successful scientists were also artists on the side.
Without an appreciation for the humanities, you get robotic nerds who are fully disassociated from the real world. The other side of the medal for all the woke crap. All of it needs to go.
Bring back the polymath.

It’s the content that could pose issue. As well as the intent behind it. It’s fine if there are Japanese studies or English literature studies, for whatever reason. As long as the intent is to learn more. Not to subvert or water down.
You can’t seriously say the Classical Music is problematic or Shakespeare needs to be diluted for the modern audience and still claim to be for the humanities.

You can read and enjoy Shakespeare and Dante on your own. I’m not saying you should need humanities credentials for doing STEM, just an appreciation so you would know there’s more to life.
And that would also help progress STEM fields and advance them more virtuously. This is important.

All STEM majors should require applicants to show a genuine appreciation for literature and the humanities.
