The way the buses are laid out in my city is that the seats are directly facing each other. So staring outside could make it seem like your staring at people if it’s too crowded. So it’s more comfortable to pretend to use your phone.

The worst part about this is that I immediately thought that it would be useful in awkward transitory moments. Everybody pulls out their phone on the bus, so you could fit in pretty well with this instead of staring outside.

This is the epitome of crappy website designs and I love it. The unnecessary gradients, nauseating movements, ambiguous buttons, and overall clutter really symbolizes Mr. worldwide’s shoddiness.

Yes, that’s how these people think. I fundamentally disagree with it and thinks it’s destructive to society, but these people want to watch things get destroyed. This is why they also applaud cuts in welfare and the federal government. Anything that is part of status quo is considered part of the swamp, so it must burn.

Trump got popular by contradicting the status quo. A lot of people are disgruntled by it, so anything that disrupts it is applauded.

It’s impossible to live without depending on other people’s decisions unless you live completely isolated. It’s not “free” but most people are fine sacrificing some freedom for other gains. This has already been discussed for centuries, see Thomas Hobbes and the social contract.

People forget that Elon impulse bought twitter and tried to reverse the deal through the bogus bot angle [1]. The only way in which the acquisition has been a success is as a way to force his political agenda.

Sad to say but this will be the norm for the next 4 years, don’t expect any federal organization to come out intact. I’ve basically ruled out working as a federal employee as there’s no assurances about anything.

In what way?

Speak for yourself, I routinely look at the cdc for health guidelines because it's orders of magnitude better than whatever SEO garbage normally shows up. Also the National Hurricane Center website for updates.

Pretty sure they are not anymore, when I was majoring in cs the deepest I was taught was assembly and architecture at a high level. I then switched to computer engineering and that’s where digital logic was a mandatory class.

Having done nand2tetris before doing various digital logic courses, I feel like the first portion falls a little short of its tagline of making a computer from modern first principles. It focuses too much on the specific implementation of its own architecture rather than giving the tools needed to create the architecture from scratch.

It doesn’t teach things such as product of sums and kmaps which allows you to methodically find the Boolean equation for any arbitrary output. I spent most of my time during the architecture implementation finding the correct expressions, while it becomes trivial if you learn how to do it systematically.

It’s lacking in teaching how state works, mostly because it passes over flipflops and their applications. It also doesn’t teach finite state machines (FSM), which was the single most important thing for me in understanding how to actually implement an architecture. This is because the concept of FSMs abstracts most of the logic and focuses on the behavior, and once you design the behavior you can then methodically implement the logic with the previously mentioned techniques.

Are you remembering the name because you’re remembering the tool or just the flavor? I don’t think hijacking a well known term makes it memorable.
