Calculus doesn't intersect CS too much. Better to have linear algebra and discrete math.

...and yes, space is hard. It's a slogan that's used at work (even if not everyone at the company always believes it). A big problem that I've seen over the years is not acknowledging how specialized some technical roles are in actuality to get things right. In these roles you have to be able to program and also know the science behind what you're trying to program. A software developer, even a great one, won't cut it if they don't know (or can't quickly self-teach) graduate-level GIS /photogrammetry/astrophysics/geodesy (depending on the application). Another problem is that because there such few people that can fill these roles, a lot of things like Agile methodologies is mostly wasted overhead. Who cares about the groups' "fist of five"? The only option that matters is that one person sitting over there, because they are the only one that have the expertise on even have a opinion worth listening to. Finally, managing aerospace is hard too. Every some number of years we will get new upper management from other well-known high-tech companies that swoop on in with big promises, become shocked at how tech debt some of the scientific code bases are in production, go all-in to finally "fix it", get slapped hard by reality, and leave the company with their tail between their legs. So yeah, space is hard.

Oh good grief, Instead, take a bigger look at what's happening in higher education in general right now. How about lowering TUITION, THAT's the real bubble that's bursting. Occam's razor.

... the vast majority of code used when creating new things come from libraries that someone else already wrote. There's nothing scary about that (unless there's bugs, but I digress). AI might help me be more efficient at delivering results, but I'm not sensing AI is getting anywhere close to replacing me.

You beat me to it. There's plenty of precedent now that the EU doesn't mess around with consumer protection, and the enforcement thereof.

Context for "eye for an eye" in the Old Testament: Justice should not be based on revenge or excessive malice. In other words, the punishment should fit the crime (and not more than that), which was contrary to much of surrounding culture then. But those words get twisted to mean that taking revenge is ok, and Jesus effectively denounces this interpretation in Matthew 5:38.

...invest in more redundancy to the global internet backbone to make sabotaging things like this less appealing.

I'll take that into consideration, thanks. I use Ubuntu for work, but not for personal use, so my knowledge for that use case is limited. I'll check out Mint. Thanks again.

Yeah I haven't looked hard at it yet. I'll be curious about drivers and Steam support.

Likely will move to ubuntu next year.

Title needs correction. Those those two things are very different and conflating them give very misleading impressions.

The problem is the way student loans work, coupled with high school seniors not making wise financial decision with said loans. It created this artificial economy where colleges had to become this heaven on earth experience in order to compete with the other college down the road. The whole system is addicted to government student loans. Hate to say it, but this sort of correction needs to happen. The longer this goes on the worse it will be. The mindset of "higher education" needs to go away. College should be just the next step after high school, nothing more.

Don't forget putting any non-secular religious belief, especially Christianity, in a positive light.

Not quite. The difference before is explicitly calling it a lease even when your competitors don't. That would be a competitive disadvantage. Now it's a level playing field.
