Not sure if it’s biased, it’s a serious limitation of the technology. Some countries are already struggling with their energy grid and water demands as is.
I think it’s fair to ensure that you create something that isn’t subject to possible quotas in the future
It’s not about the quality of the tool but the fact that regulators will most likely think that this merger will violate anti-trust laws and lawyers from both companies can’t argue for why this isn’t the case
I'm very glad that others are observing this as well. My last DEV post was literally the question of where I should hang out with possible future content to discuss on a more intermediate level.
It's great that beginners can start by diving into DEV but at some point you're just not a beginner anymore but because of all the noise your only option is to move on. Even if you put your 'experience level' to expert the relevant content shown in the DEV feed is for beginners. I think 'fostering a community for experienced developers' is really the only way for DEV if it wants to move beyond beginners.
Honest question from someone from the Netherlands: when are kids in the states old enough for these topics?
Me and all of my friends were thaught the fundamentals of algebra & trigonomatry (admittedly not calculus) at 13 years old. I had no idea the wasn't the case in the US and it honestly kind of blows my mind.
Online lectures in a lot of uni's will still happen in real time. Meaning that some students have to take classes at 3 AM. Being in the same time zone will still make a difference for a lot of them.
A lot of people link CS with a career as software engineer for the web but leave out a lot of other software engineering and research opportunities. I get that a deep knowledge of CS doesn't always directly help while doing web development but it can really help in other area's of software development (embedded systems, OS, graphics, etc.)
Unfortunately I really know people in my class who believe that if people are in fear of getting fired and missing deadlines they will be more productive :/
