It's even pre-industrial age model. School and its strict class system originate from the church. And I totally agree it should be disrupted by a more scientific proven model so kids can actually start to enjoy learning. The problem is

No one seems to understand! Macro or micro economy, for me it's just another pyramid game. For some reason most people are completely unable to see that and can only humdrum what they've learned at school; that 'our' eco

No. It's a linux, and there is no mic or cam connected. I use Netflix too, works like a charm. And I can understand your temptation of using the Netflix button on the remote control, it's one of the lures.

Inkscape is just totally awesome and very much needed. Without it the only serious option left for vector graphics is the overly expensive Illustrator, entering Adobe's sucking subscription model where you can only edit your own files

Welcome to making money as a software developer. Your experience is nothing exceptional in IT, most startups are pretty bad if you ask me. You can be more picky with companies, but that will make it tricky to find a new job in time. My advi

There is something about this immutability thing I really don't like. In the authors example it looks like v1[0] is set to 42 (const auto v2 = v1.set(0, 42)), at least that's how you read it because it contains the word 'set&

About 4 million lines of Python code is just a bad decision from the start. Now they are trying to fix it with types, but IMHO the fault is not in the language. They just should have started out with a statically typed language that scales
