  • In my opinion, a degree is supposed to make you very well-rounded in the specific area (in this case SWE/CS). If a student wants to pursue a career in academia or scientific computing, knowledge in calculus, linear algebra, analytic geometry, etc. will come in handy.

    In my country (Eastern Europe) specifically, a bachelor’s in computer science can also allow you to get accepted into master’s and potentially a PhD program in mathematics or physics.



  • Vi is a very old piece of software. Unless I’m mistaken, it doesn’t even have syntax highlighting. Vim is “vi improved” and supports all kinds of stuff, including extensions. Neovim is vim that uses Lua as an extension language, instead of vimscript. That allows for easier creation of powerful extensions.

    Nano is a simpler text editor that is not as “powerful” as the vim family. Emacs is a state of mind.

    In general, all of these are good tools and get the job done.










  • In 2013, he came out as gay, criticized an “Anti-homosexual propaganda” law and wrote an article for The Guardian, denouncing homophobia in Russia. In the last few years, he has supported laws banning LGBT propaganda and has had to apologize numerous times for sayng things that are so unhinged, that even the Russian media has called them “disgusting”. Anyone interested can take a look at the “2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine” section of his Wikipedia page. It contains gems, such as " drown the children" and “final solution”





  • For now, I find it kind of boring. On reddit, I used to spend more time in comment sections than regularly scrolling. Now I don’t really do that, because there are either no comments or the comments are the same.

    When I started using lemmy with the default sorting option (‘active’ i think?), I would see the same posts for days, now I use top 6 hours and that problem is fixed, but lemmy now feels like a news site with comments. Also I am European, but it feels like 50% of content is some local American politics. I don’t care about my own town’s politics, so I don’t care about that guy from Minnesota either.

    A post from asklemmy hasn’t shown up in my feed in a long time and I kind of forgot it existed, but looking into it, looks like one of the only interesting places here, so I guess, I have visit it more often.
