I am entitled to call "nonsense", to what ever I consider to be nonsense.

For example: 3) I have seen several studies that indicate most abusers come from entitled families and were not themselves abused as a child.
That is nonsense. I suggest to google a bit around. Basically every abuser (does not necessarily mean sexual) was abused as child.

I think most people writing nonsense like you simply do not grasp the way other people think.

My EX GF in Thailand, is a sibling of 14 kids. Three died in childhood. She is the youngest. If Ginness book would have been around her birth time, her mother would be noted. She gave birth at age 66 or so. My EX is ten years younger than her youngest brother. Six siblings died in young adulthood, and now 4 are left.

(Mostly) EVERYONE in that family has only ONE child. Some have two, because they divorced and remarried and got a second.

No sane person wants more than one or two kids. It is a complete no brainer for a Thai that, 3 is maximum and 1 is optimum.

I have NO CHILDREN, because my childhood was absolutely ABUSE miserable. And I was afraid I make my kids miserable, too. Because: ABUSE is TRANSMITTED!

Modern Thai in general do not have more than one kid. And that has nothing to do with "cost" but how we call it today: life work balance.

If I have a 8 year old kid, traveling the world is easy. If a second one pops up, I am blocked 6 years to have my own life. Most people do not pick that option.

In most countries pre natal care: is cost free!

You do not know anything about agile.

As everything you claim about it: is factually wrong.

If you ever did "an agile project", then it was not an agile project, but a project with the stamp agile on it.

It can not be so hard to grasp how agile projects (are supposed to) work. And then compare what you actually did with what you were supposed to do.

Endless meetings? Not agile ...
Bugs ... ? Not agile ...
Deploying not working code? Not agile ...
No architecture? Not agile ...

And so on.

I am not 100% certain, but I think I never used any Calculus in my CS work all my work life.
Linear algebra I did ... because it is related to geometry. I wrote a CAD system for GEO engineering.
You "kind of" need it in energy companies, but then people would nitpick and claim: that is not (linear) algebra!

Would not call it a waste of time, but it is an unnecessary hurdle for students who want to learn "programming".

There is no damn computer that has any opcode or high level language (except high specialized math tools) to do Calculus.

No idea what your point with AI is.

In my mind: I was recently on slashdot.jp.

In reality it is about 2 years ago - and right now the site does not exist anymore.

So, somehow I lost track what you actually are about.

Well, I never used a a password on slashdot.jp, as I only glanced on it to check how much I can read - which is basically 10% of the Kanji :P

Comment Schadenfreude (Score 1) 130

That is a German word that does not really translate to English. So some English people just use the same word: Schadenfreude.

a million investors lost an alleged $3.8 billion on their purchases

You could enjoy (Freude) the "damage" (Schaden) some investors got by betting on Trump.

However: the money is not lost. It only changed owner. And the new owner benefits from it, likely it is Trump.

IMO - The successful adoption rate of Windows 11 was primarily due to the end-of-support date for Windows 10 set by Microsoft. Organizations were pushed to adopt Windows 11 or face the financial consequences. MS charges more to support "end of life" systems, cyber-insurance companies will charge more, compliance requirements change when organizations have old systems, etc.

As always, individual users made their own decisions but these days some choose to ditch the PC and user their phone.
