When I was in elementary school I played a game on the Apple IIs where you had some machines you could put in a row and your part would go through them and get rotated, punched or painted. You'd get a shape and you had to place and configure the machines in sequence to make it. Some shapes could be made in various ways, some only had one right answer. As far as I know, only I ever played it at my school.

Even more usefully, those of us in GATE got inductive word puzzles and were taught how to solve them with diagrams. This person is this thing and this other thing but not that thing, the person who did these things didn't do that but did do this, etc etc. Nobody else got to do this.

Another thing I was lucky enough to get to do was be trained to speed read using a machine that took a film strip and scanned across the text to limit what you could see at any given time. Then they'd test us to check our retention.

There's lots of activities like this which kids could be playing if there was time, but the curricula don't leave room for that. Instead we make sure they're force-fed whichever "facts" we want them to retain, with nothing to hang them on. In particular we teach kids in elementary school a bunch of utter bullshit about how the world works and why our government did things. Then we act surprised when they can't navigate reality. Well, it doesn't fucking work like we told them!

That's not relevant to net neutrality, though yes, you're right. And they have taken literally hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars for that purpose (government grants, not customer payments) which they then clearly handed out to shareholders and/or executives because they obviously didn't spend them on last mile internet.

You got me to read it. Sounds like an AI trying to be "idiosyncratic like a real human" to fool the readers. But the content sounds more idiotic than idiosyncratic.

It's inappropriate not to attack anyone's mental state. Their lack of competence is exactly the problem. We need for everyone in government, not just congress, to be able to pass at least a basic mental competency test. The People should never be paying for an incompetent to hold a public position, and that's arguably the least important principle at issue.

What would a dickless child rape enthusiast maggot know about sticking a dick in anything? Thankfully, without a penis at least you cannot penetrate a child with one like you all want to.

Fox News is the most popular news outlet in America.

That means Fox News is the "MSM".

You just bit the hand that feeds your insanity.

Look at how surprised we all are.

It's just you. You can't hide the approach and all superpowers have weapons which can hit a satellite, or a spacecraft.

No. It's trivial to write Rust unsafely, just use unsafe.

The selling point of Rust is that it enforces memory safety by default.

The last unequivocal Windows upgrade was Windows Vista to Windows 7.

Come to think of it, it was also the only unequivocal upgrade to NT since Windows 2000, and before that, it was 3.51.

You're right they're not at the extend phase... yet.

History tells us we should watch out for that.

Microsoft has become worse in many ways over that time, there's no reason to believe they are better in this way as well.

Microsoft is still engaging in a lot of bad behavior, so there's no reason to believe that anything that is good will continue, or that anything that looks good is good.

He literally needs it. His brain broke when Obama got elected. Slashdot saved the receipts. Sad how racism can develop into a full-blown case of psychosis but it looks like that's what happened here.

And what does the language matter anyway when you can now type in pseudocode into Copilot and ask it to form perfect equivalent code in any language?

Does he also have a joker fetish? That would explain her face

Let's not suddenly imagine Iranians to be stupid. They know they need a nuke to not be invaded sooner or later.

The UAE that can't protect its pipelines? THAT UAE?
