I am with you brother, it is good for simple things but the indenting for codeblocks and gymnastics for magic methods and mixed programming paradigms.
I use C most of the time and BYTHON is something I want to check out.

for i in range(num_of_times) {
print("Bython is awesome!");

Coding is not the point of the CS50 class.
The point is code literacy and the intellectual pursuit of computer science.
CS50 isn't just about learning to write code; it's about fostering computational thinking and code literacy. While coding is a crucial tool, the core of CS50 lies in understanding the underlying principles of computer science. The course meticulously builds a foundation, starting with fundamental building blocks like variables, data types (booleans, integers, etc.), control flow (if/else statements, loops), and functions. It then progresses to more complex concepts like data structures (arrays, linked lists, trees), algorithms (searching, sorting), and algorithm analysis using Big O notation. This journey from the micro to the macro gives students a holistic view of how software works.
CS50 empowers you to dissect and comprehend code, regardless of the specific language. Instead of just blindly writing lines of code, you learn to think algorithmically, breaking down problems into logical steps that a computer can execute. This understanding is crucial for leveraging tools like AI code generation. Imagine using an AI assistant like Claude: with a CS50 background, you wouldn't just accept the generated code at face value. You'd be able to critically evaluate it, understand its logic, identify potential flaws, and modify it to perfectly fit your needs. You become a collaborator with the AI, not just a passive user.
Harvard's commitment to making CS50 accessible to the world is commendable. The course's comprehensive curriculum, combined with its engaging teaching style and extensive online resources, has democratized computer science education. The availability of variations like CS50 AI further demonstrates the program's dedication to exploring cutting-edge topics and preparing students for the future of technology. CS50 isn't just a course; it's an investment in developing the next generation of problem solvers and innovators.
CS50 is a brilliant class and I applaud Harvard putting it out there for the world. Thank you HARVARD! I wish I could have gone to Harvard.
When someone does something stupid, it seems there is an infinite budget to search, interview, analyze etc...
It makes me wonder what if all the effort to analyze and help this person was on the front end?
I know, crazy talk.
AV is only is good as the last update so why bother. Just use the built in vendor stuff.
And with MVNOs if you ever need more data, your (sic) unlimited data rate doesn't slow to drinking through a straw. I do the same thing, buy my own phones and use an MVNO. It's not that hard and we get two smart phones for $30ish a month. I don't need the $250 Verizon plan.
Simple Solution: Don't Buy a Locked Phone
Great, you ditched the legacy CPU Intel chip, now where is all ARM native windows software and what do I do with my existing legacy non-arm software.
There kinds of needs a bit more to this play than a press release. If I want 22 hours of video playback I'll get an iPad or MacBook Air.
Reading the paper, it took scientists 10-years to develop (not sure of procedure) hammerhead RNA which is now able to copy itself.
The origin of the RNA in this story is lab created RNA.
Electronic Arts promised me a molecule construction set back in the 90's, where is it?
You are absolutely incorrect.
Back before your were born there existed TVs and VHS machines.
The thinking was, all we have to do is get the best teaches in the world to create engaging courses, record them, and fill large rooms with little TVs with VHS players and PROFIT.
Guess what they found?
A teacher is more than a content delivery device. A teacher encourages, is positive and enthusiastic, believes in their students, offers specific and sometimes hard to swallow feedback, celebrates success, builds relationships, creates a safe and supportive learning environment, and is a guide along for the journey of learning.
30% of the kids can be given a library card and access to AI and the Internet and they will be fine.
The other 70% are still going to need a teacher because learning and looking toward a successful future isn't on their list of things to do.
Right now in states like Michigan, they had a Computer Science endorsement and then dropped it.

And replaced it with this:
Teachers who currently hold the endorsements will continue to see them displayed on their certificates and may continue to teach in those areas. However, starting in 2017-18, administrators will have discretion in assigning a teacher in those endorsement areas. For example, a teacher with a computer science endorsement may be assigned to teach computer science, or a district may employ a teacher without the endorsement who displays strong computer science skills.
Yes, Administrator Discretion is the standard now in Michigan for teaching the computer/technology class. Since this is a non-core, non-ACT evaluated class it is often given to coaches to round out their schedules.
From what I have heard it has been non-stop layoffs at AT&T since 2023. Comparing 2018 AT&T to 2024 AT&T it is 40% fewer employees.

You can only cut, outsource, and AI so much until either bad things happen or people get upset and let bad things happen, either intentionally or unintentionally.
When Amazon bolted on Freevee, you have a 20% of the first ad not freezing and your content loading.
Complaints to Amazon have been going on since 2023 and no one at Amazon responds or cares.
Amazon Prime + Freevee should be called AmazonFreezy.
Don't forget about the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation meddling in education.
When you are rich, you are right.
Apple finally enters the AI chat and OpenSource??? So unlike Apple. I guess they don't want to build it for us.
Wow, pure C before it was polluted by C++
Blessed be those who initiate lively discussions with the hopelessly mute, for they shall be known as Dentists.
