I'll never forget the one professor who put up a side of code... And had no idea what the class was about. We spent most of the class reading together with him to try to figure out what the lesson was supposed to be about
Apparently the guy was one of those crazy low-level guys who can do things I don't understand but build on top of. Guy just constantly looked bewildered by reality, he belonged in the code world
So you're saying that in one hour, they can earn enough calories for at least 1.5 hours of hard labor?
Sounds like a living wage to me, with only 16 hours a day you can provide for the most demanding caloric needs
Let's just give them a chance guys. They haven't done anything bad yet. It will help the fediverse grow. We need their content

Money is a weapon in western society. You can't win just because you're right
I remember an acquaintance was complaining about their computer turning off when they closed the lid, so I told her to hand it over and I'd see if I could fix it.
She said she'd buy me dinner to thank me, but my fix didn't really fix the problem, I just made the computer not sleep when you closed it, and so I didn't feel like it was worth a reward
She even asked a second time, it took me years to realize I unknowing (firmly) shot her down
AI could do this. Conventional programming could do it faster and better, even if it was written by AI.
It's an important concept to grasp
Or when Florida passed an anti gerrymandering law and the governor just ignored the state Congress and resubmitted the illegal maps
This is why I love the number 7. It's the first real prime number. All the others are "first"...1?2?3?5? No, those aren't prime numbers, they're "first" in a long line of not-prime numbers.
Then you get to 7. Is 27943 divisible by 7? If you take away 3 is it? If you add 4 is?
I have no clue, give me 10 minutes or a calculator is the only answer
That's what a real prime number is.
There's something no one seems to be talking about
It runs at the highest ring of security on your processor. It could mean it locks you to OEM Android, iOS, or Windows. It could be extended to look at your app list, dns settings, potentially even tell if the device is using a vpn
And it would be shocking if cloudflare didn't implement this - it would save them a ton of processing. It's likely it would be a default setting - this would apply to large swaths of the Internet, not just Google services
Here's the thing - I want to work. I love it - I create solutions to problems. It's who I am, and when I have nothing else to do I wander around turning scraps into something useful. I became a programmer because I could create without worries about wasting materials.
What I hate is being exploited like a resource - 40 hours a week is a lot. It's enough I use every free moment just getting my energy back. I have no time to work on my own projects or properly socialize - I just get worn down until I burn out and can't wake up in the morning.
I'm also very aware of the impact of my actions, and nearly every possible job involves draining the world of something to make money for someone who has plenty.
I don't care if other people get to coast because of my work, I just want to solve hard problems in a way that adds to the world.
I do care when I'm used as a pawn in the game of capitalism - But meet my basic and I'd spend my time creating
Being woke is looking at the system critically. It's not taking what you're told at face value, it's examining your own beliefs and the beliefs of society about the system
It's pretty ironic the way most are using the word
It's called "monopolize gaming without paying for developers". The beauty of it is, if you ruin all of modern gaming and buy out all the existing hits, you can shove in monetization and project insane profits
At least until indie gaming takes over, your stock price will go to the moon
