Depends on what kind of programmer.

If you're doing data engineering/science (more of an adjacent field), you need to know linear and probability pretty well to build models, or have data harvested in ways that can be put into vectors.

If you're doing relational DB stuff (like SQL) set theory helps a lot.

Basic boolean operations in general is also good to know. You don't need to go too deep in the weeds of boolean math unless you're also doing a lot of hardware-level stuff.

Any field you go into (not just programming), I would say just basic math for regular financial competency is good to know. Also to analyze your budgeting, your costs, time spent, effort needed, etc.

Student debt was not a campaign platform he ran on, it was something he did during his presidency.

He did run on Green New Deal and the original proposal that later became the $2 trillion Infrastructure investment/bill/plan.

But to your point, yes he ran on platforms that people got excited. Both of those platforms were new economic opportunities for people in a time when people when much of the labor class was jobless from COVID.

Microphone check is usually abbreviated as "mic check".

He did a " Mike check", by asking the room who is Michael, usually abbreviated as Mike.

Another huge expensive problem is transporting it is not easy. At room at atmospheric pressure and temperature, it takes up like 2-3 grams per gallon of space, making it super inefficient to transport.

You could pressurize it, but that makes it insanely flammable and a risk of it leaks. You could also cryo-freeze it, but that is also very expensive to transport, it require a lot of energy to freeze it, maintain it during long transports, and to unfreeze it at it's destination.

Building a hydrogen delivery infrastructure is probably the best way to overcome this, but that would also take years and billions.

I'm no expert on the field, but I'd imagine a lot of energy departments would rather do that cost and effort towards building new green energy plants that can deliver power to grids rather than only help cars. Car-wise, most things are transitioning to hybrid or electric anyways, so they also benefit from a green power plant.

Already have, will continue to.

People deciding to use threads as forums is not Discord's fault.

At further inspection they're also wearing Spongebob lapel pins.

These still don't change the fact that I am more confused by that than anything else.

I think I'm more confused by spongebob playing in the background more than anything.

No no no, you see, when the left does it, it's cancel culture and literally communism. When the right does it, it's voting with your dollar, literally capitalism. Not comparable at all!!

I've seen some graphs / extrapolations where if young voters (18-24) voted at the same rate as older voters (55+), Harris would win by a pretty sizable margin.

That almost never happens, but Swift has a huge influence on young voter turnout.

Probably also he really overvalues himself and wants to convince himself he matters more.

 

Hello,

I have an old macbook pro 2012. With Apple dropping all support for it, I want to run Linux on it. The caveat is - Im looking for the same feel as the experience with the macbook trackpad and keyboard.

I've tried a few different OS's on it, and each time, it runs as how you would expect. No issues with installation or anything, and most issues have a small or easy fix.

Being used to old habits with that laptop, I haven't had good luck with remapping things to give it it's old feel again.

By feel, I mean things like mapping trackpad gestures, some of the "function row" to map the same things as they keyboard has them, remapping some hotkeys to make use of the command button, etc.

I was wondering if there was an OS that has a lot of the things like mouse gestures, or the keyboard mappings of those laptops already built into it.

 

The spam bots in the GE and other hubs in every world are out of control. I had chat filters runelite plugin settings and other spam filter plugins that used to remove those most of the time, but as of late they're using accented characters (like à, è, ö, etc.) to bypass them.

Not a great solution to keep changing my public chat settings when I switch maps or activities. Also not feasible for me to stay in total level worlds for every content, as they're laggy sometimes or need to hop worlds.

I'm mostly in worlds/groups where people talk in English, but I never see Spanish or Dutch players take the time to type out accents when they type out words that have accents.

I don't really have a good perspective of other players who communicate in other languages in this game, but if no one actually takes the time to type them out in chat, is there a reason not to restrict chat them in chat?

Or what are some other ideas to get rid of chat spam/bots like this?
