  1. Where did people earning PhDs in Math first learn Math?

  2. My teachers, back in my day, had no IT equipment, experience, or knowledge. And

    And back in your teachers' teachers' day they didn't have HVAC, indoor bathrooms or know about anything that had been invented after they came along.

    All the others think that pressing F12 in Chrome and changing the local cached HTML front page of BBC News to read "Fred Bloggs is a Wally" is "hacking"

    And? 90% of the code I use when I first start a language is copy and paste. Not everyone learns through composition, some of us learn by decomposing something else.

  3. Wasn't it always? Or did people really think that following a script actually imparted some insight into the world of programming?

    Through the glasses of history you're you're overestimating what you did at that age or underestimating what a child at that age is able to do.

    Now that I have kids I finally sat down and look at what I was doing at those ages. My first exposure programming was Hypertalk. The stuff that I did at that age didn't "impart some insight". It did teach me syntax, how to debug, etc. Then programming my TI-83, then my TI-89, then PHP, Matlab, Java, C, C++, Python with HTML, Perl and Javascript thrown in there at times.

    Who knows how much farther I'd be in my "programming" If I had the opportunity to program in more than TI BASIC during high school. The point is to expose kids to what is available. (You know, kind of like we do with reading, writing, art, math, and everything else in school)

    Then they poached too many EEs and Computer Engineers and from Silicon Valley and not enough Mechanical engineers from Toyota, Audi, BMW, et al.

    It doesn't matter. Farming is a black box to most people. The question most care about is "Can I eat it"?

    This is a product designed by people that have never farmed before and stupid expensive for what it is.

    Farmers don't need a 4x8 CNC machine. They need a little Wall-E robot to go out in the field and do work. I don't care if my field takes 48 hours to till as long as it takes 0 hours of my time. Let it run 24/7 planting and weeding. And it should be able to cost less than what a CNC machine does. (Plants don't need 0.2mm resolution).

    It's history has been.

    From the first farmer to invent something to do more work with less they've been 'automating' it away in bits and pieces for hundreds of years.

    Given the problem people seem to be having with most websites: Downtime, DDoS, Censorship Usenet is the perfect solution.

  16. NSFW / DISTURBING CONTENT

    As someone that fired up a VPN just to browse that I'm very underwhelmed.

    Is this part of 'trigger society'? I've seen worse stuff linked from Slashdot without a warning. If you're over 30 and grew up on the internet there's really nothing there.

  17. Reddit doesn't understand that they built their brand on angry, toxic crazies.

    Forget 'discussion' there are active investigations that use Reddit as evidence.

    There are multiple celebrities and political figures that have accounts to do AMA. What if Spez was caught editing comments by the 'president'? (Ok, President's Social Media handlers).

    Voat, the site run by people that have never worked in a production environment ever.

    It should scale from a 512 MB NGINX instance to full Amazon without anyone ever seeing a "Site's down" error message.

  23. Keep telling yourself that.

  24. Part of "Make America Great Again" it'd be nice if conservative Youth got their parents/grandparents on something like Etsy. Nana can bang out an awesome crochet but can't use the Internet. Have her make and sell awesome little Disney characters.

    And when Disney sends her a C&D over a character older than she is, it won't take much to whip up Trump supporters against "Liberal Media". Disney owns ABC.

    All you have to do is reword it minus Obama and explain it in terms of something they like, Medicare. I really hope Trump gets "medicare for all VA" and folds the VA. You get all vets behind it. Extend it to family first. (Wife/Kids) then expand it to all "Descendants of Vets from any War" (Including the South). Tada, you have single payer through some weird loopholes all while "MURICA MURICA". Make insurance companies get efficient or go out of business.
