I mean, the questions could have been constructed for the student, because the teacher would know the kid has a dad.

Many things that work with time series data use calculus all the time. Both derivatives and integrals are very useful in that context: derivatives being the rate of change at some particular time step, and integrals being the sum of the changes across a range of time steps.

There's a pretty wide range of applications.

Mongodb is not actually faster. Postgres still beats it in any benchmark that matters.

Nothing is ever actually schema-less. There is merely explicit and implicit schemas. If you don't want to bother encoding the schema as proper columns and instead want the schema to remain implicitly encoded in JSON, Postgres' jsonb columns do a better job of that than any NoSQL database does.

Haskell's also not there. I was ready to criticize any quadrant it was put in heh. But that's probably mostly because the axes are kinda bad.

Um yeah, definitely. My TV has never had Internet connectivity, not should it.

Yep. It does increasingly feel like developers like me who find it deeply disturbing and problematic for our profession and society are going to increasingly become rarer. Fewer and fewer people are going to understand how anything actually works.

I believe it's saying that the drive-thru was open but the restaurant interior was closed.

I'm a senior software engineer with a pretty uncommon skill set. Recruiters are the primary way that companies hire in my industry outside of networking contacts and I get contacted frequently. The job before my current one was through a recruiter.

I very much dislike Microsoft and LinkedIn in general, but not using it all is a huge handicap that isn't worth taking on.

Nah, it's all hyped up bullshit that has to be babysat and manipulated to a degree that you may as well just write your damn code.

But beyond that, I'd argue that it's actually damaging for engineering organizations, because it means the org is incurring the maintenance cost of code not written by its engineers and that has no real thought put behind it. Maybe you can eventually coax it to produce code that's not completely broken shit, but it's code that your org doesn't actually "own" from a maintenance and knowledge-base perspective. The social aspect of code maintenance with this shit is always massively overlooked.

They're not wrong. Randomness in computing is what we call "pseudo-random" in that it is deterministic provided that you start from same state or "seed".

Out of curiosity, does your country not have a census? I would have guessed every country does to have accurate information about their populace.

Vim has vim9 script now which is very similar to common scripting languages like Typescript.

Vim also doesn't need tons of configuration.
