  • I understand; I was just being transparent with the fact that I'm a lazy motherfucker and that I used it to "translate" the text.

  • WordPress.org bans WP Engine, blocks it from accessing its resources

    Jump

  • ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what's going on.

    TL;DW Matt's claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it's called - I'm recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

    So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt's reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress' resources.

    He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it's not like he's trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).

  • There are YT courses available to support the book. Or rather, the book exists to support the courses:

    Don't mind the ages of these series - I watched them in full, and they're generally still relevant. I say generally because I'm not sure if I'll ever use a Tango Tree, but who knows!

    PS: If you're not sure if you don't know the required Math, I created a graph of all MIT courses with YT videos here. The courses on the left are dependencies for those to the right.

  • They stole my voice with AI | Jeff Geerling

  • Well, she did tell that she didn't get a budget, so they just effectively stole from other departments. Want a table that's not bolted down? Take it.

    But that's Navy internals, (arguably) not a massive for-profit company that's going it out of sheer greed.

  • I asked ChatGPT to convert the text to common words:

    "Academic writing is often hard to understand because it uses complicated words specific to a particular field, making it easier for experts to communicate with each other but harder for outsiders to follow. This keeps certain knowledge limited to a small group of people and maintains a cycle where only the educated or 'in' crowd can fully engage, while others are left out."

  • Book recommendations to learn programming fundamentals

    Jump

  • Head First Java is also nice to learn OOP as well! Don't worry that you're learning an older version of Java. It's good to know the old style, because not all Java code is fancy schmancy new ;)

    Out of a lot of series I've read, the Head First is really geared towards beginners. Highly recommended for beginner to intermediate programmers.

    This is a graph of most of MIT's CompSci courses, where the lines are dependencies. If you want to learn something on the right, learn the connected things on the left.

    While there are video courses, the top link in each block links to MIT pages where they tend to recommend books for each course. The algorithm courses recommend "Introductions into Algorithms, Fourth Edition", for example.

    I hope it helps (even if I don't think this is the be-all end-all to your question).

  • My daughter decides what we watch..

  • Fight me.

    Can we do a Blueyathon instead, so we can see all the foreshadowing they've secretly been doing all along? Take the Winton foreshadowing of his dad bumping into the mom of one of the other kids at a store...

    some two episodes before it's even revealed that they like each other, and then even later THEY are the people that sell their house (with a pool) that the poodles end up buying instead of Bluey's house, because Winton's dad moves out of his house to live with the other mom!

    It's such a good show.

  • Depends on the data structure. If you want to save a table of sorts, you're getting a bunch of unreadable [[[]]] nonsense.

    For flat structures it's great though.
