They’re trying to normalize calling high-level programming a “programming paradigm.” Don’t let them.

This is just your ego talking. You can’t stand the idea that a computer could be better than you at something you devoted your life to. You’re not special. Coding is not special. It happened to artists, chess players, etc. It’ll happen to us too.

I’ll listen to experts who study the topic over an internet rando. AI model capabilities as yet show no signs of slowing their exponential growth.

Laugh it up while you can.

We’re in the “haha it can’t draw hands!” phase of coding.

I watched a few levels of it. This game has already been made. It’s called Painkiller and I beat it 20 years ago.

Looks like we found a good use case for facial generative ai

5, 6, 9. Come on now.

Used to love stomach-sleeping. Then got severe nerve damage in my shoulder and neck. Now H all day every day

I’m not super fond of dynamic typing either. I like untyped or uni-typed languages like ‘everything is an array’ (APL) or ‘everything is an integer’ (Forth, assembly).

I’m of the same opinion as Chuck Moore who once observed, “Strong typing merely creates errors so that they can be detected.” In my experience, the amount of complexity added by these systems is staggering. To such a degree that they cause more errors than they prevent. More types, more opportunities to use them incorrectly, after all.

I also prefer the ‘build the program while it’s running’ workflow, which is inhibited by static typing.

It’s been known for quite a while now. Even reddit gets annoyed with the guy.

Jay Pritzker (governor of Illinois) seems like an okay dude.

• No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
• Static typing sucks.

I see this misconception all over the place and I can only assume it stems from not understanding the electoral college.

You overestimate how many people live in swing states.

Every non-voter who lives in California voted for Kamala. All of the state’s EC votes went to her.

I guess slavery is more profitable than teaching kids.

Me too. Ever since I read Richard Stallman’s words to avoid article. I kinda wish I hadn’t read it now lmao.

No but there are two things we should be doing; even non-teachers. Be a role model for even a single kid. Gain their respect so they want to learn your wisdom. An afternoon of doing anything with a kid who respects you can do more than months of school. Teach them how to be upstanding and how to think.

The other part is teachers need to organize a new system in which teachers are in charge of teaching. It’ll never happen unless you start. Sitting around and bitching about the education system for going on decades now is just pathetic.

This is my point exactly. They don’t desire that. Nor should they. And so they shouldn’t do that.

We cannot keep with this horrible system that does nothing but torture kids and teachers alike. It’s not working. It’s clear it’s not working. Change will never come from the top, because like you said, they will never voluntarily change it. So it must come from the bottom.

Yes, they might have been good teachers if they hadn’t decided to support a mediocre institution that prevents teaching.

The article is specifically about the USA. That’s what I’m talking about too.
