10 year old bug?
What are they talking about, that bug report is from 2014‽
… Fuck
I’ve ended up using calculus and trig for programming multiple times.
You may be able to draw a circle without math, but teaching a computer to draw a circle requires an understanding of math.
All of machine learning is rooted in linear algebra, rust is a very practical programming language that gains most of its power through category theory.
You don’t need to know high level math to be a successful developer, but it can really help in many areas. I can’t really think of how to categorize which areas high level math is more or less likely to show up in, which I guess itself kind of supports my point.
Just understanding what a derivative is and what an integral is can help you determine what problems are solvable and what aren’t, and let you think ahead about what information you might want to hold onto in your data structures. ( Think about what the +C in this integral represents in the real world, and what data you need to pin that down concretely ).
Lemmy:
It’s all about class solidarity!

I tried to solve these cross-distro compatibility problems in a generic way with this “standard”, more years ago than I’d like to think about:
https://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg
If someone wants to come up with a bootloader agnostic solution rather than one tied to grub, like an extension to Bootloader spec , https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/ , I’d be happy to evangelize it and add support to grub for using it.
I’m not aware of any other bootloader that supports reading a config file that exists within an iso though, and secure boot support may add additional complications.
Bottom line:
I feel like we could relatively easily get to a point where every Live iso that actually supports loop booting can just be added, as a file, to your USB drive (from Windows, or your android phone even) and be detected at boot in a nice little menu, no editing of config files needed.
I don’t have the time or spoons to get the Linux community there alone, but if people are interested in helping I’m more than happy to pick this up again.
(Note: Please don’t blindly suggest “Just chain load the iso!” Things aren’t that easy, unfortunately).
Like me, that user wants to use ISO-8601 format for dates.
I didn’t see that option in the screenshot. Anyone know if that’s possible in this Beta?
My point is that focusing on length is missing the point.
That’s just the ad-hoc justification for their racist actions.
Most schools have absurd policies in writing that are never actually enforced, until someone decides it has suddenly become a-rule-so-important-we’ll-go-to-court-over-it .
Most of the time, when admin gets suddenly very focused on a rule like this, you’ll find there’s a marginalized student that they want to apply it to. But don’t bring race into this!
Just because you didn’t / don’t experience it doesn’t mean it’s uncommon.
This isn’t actually about the length of his hair.
It’s that Black natural / protective hair styles are seen by racists as being “disrespectful” and they even said why they have the policy.
Their list included many things, but only one of those was actually relevent here “respect for authority”.
Racist people and racist systems will always punish Blackness. This is just one specific example of a larger pattern.
