Maybe you were just at a bad school? Quadratic equations are mandatory in Germany even for the lowest level of graduation.
Until my Abitur (12th grade) I learned about equations, stochastics, integrals and derivatives, vector stuff, etc.

That’s software development for you. Why is that weird value there? Because some guy, at some point, had checked for that and somehow it’s still relevant.
I know of a system that churns through literally millions of transactions representing millions of Euros every day, and their interface has load bearing typos (because Germans in the 90s were really bad at the Englishs).
If you actually want to learn maths (that is, if you’re not just venting), you could try to ask for help in dedicated math or teaching communities.
The problem with teaching stuff you know, is to put yourself in a position of actually not knowing anything. I’m a software developer and had to teach some apprentices a few years ago, and it was really eye opening to me to see how much assumptions about the apprentice’s knowledge I made even though I thought I made my explanation “basic”.
It’s quite possible that all the tutorials you’ve read are either for literal children, so they just don’t work for your adult brain, or they’re intended for adults and assume too much.
On a personal note: how did you get into that situation? Were you home schooled?
That sentence had several aneurysms.
Using the Rabbit R1 instead of generic ML was too obvious.
I have to say, I’m getting more and more frustrated by the bad code I have to write due to bad business circumstances.
I want clean, readable code with proper documentation and at least a bit of internal consistency and not the shoehorned mess of hacks, todos and weird corner cases.
Sometimes natural lights comes in at “uncomfortable” angles or simply leaves some corners relatively dark.
So the artificial light acts as a counter light to reduce shadows and create a more even lighting.
They re-invent everything for no reason. Every mundane device has been “re-invented” using big data, blockchain, VR, now AI and in a few years probably quantum-something.
The entire tech world fundamentally ran out of ideas. The usual pipeline is basic research > applied research > products, but since money only gets thrown at products, there’s nothing left to do research. So the tech bros have to re-iterate on the same concepts again and again.
Summary: nothing of value
2.4 is the tipping point. Mark my words.
Any day now, it’s gonna be the year of the Linux handheld.
Again, that’s not what obfuscation means.
Also, what exactly is the difference between cat and journalctl? You can’t read a text file without a program either.
Of course, raw text files are more common, but what you’re drawing up here is a mixture of old man yells at cloud and tin foil hat territory.
So literally every program on your machine is obfuscated. Linux kernel? Obfuscated. Wayland? Obfuscated. And even VIM: obfuscated.
You’re creating problems where there are none.
Are you really sure, you’re using “obfuscation” right? Because that implies that someone intentionally makes something harder to read to hide something. That’s not the case here. Nothing is hidden, it’s all there, the formats are well defined and easy to read.
I think you are either trolling or you fundamentally don’t understand, what you’re talking about.
Nothing is obfuscated. You can download each and every code file, audit it, and build the binaries from exactly that code. You can even compare the binaries to the ones provided by major distros thanks to reproducible builds.
Just because you don’t understand code, doesn’t mean it’s obfuscated. Following that logic, even a loaf of bread is “obfuscated” because you don’t understand sour dough.
The reality is, that hardly any projects actually need or benefit from micro services.
Most applications would scale just fine as a monolith, micro services seem to be rather an organizational tool to separate modules, because you can’t come up with a proper architecture.
… barely because they contain enough botox to wipe out a small nation?
I mean this subtitle right here gave me a pretty good idea what’s this initiative is all about already, but that’s just me I guess
But what does that mean exactly? Fairphones with long support duration? Solar powered software developers?
I get a rough direction from that, but nothing else, but it’s a headline, that’s ok.
What really bugs me is that the body of the text doesn’t really explain it either, but needs hundreds of words for that. It’s just fluff for a press statement that should have fit into a tweet.
Also, keep in mind that people from different countries work on KDE, and English is not their first language, I don’t know what are your expectations… on how the writing should be…
Well, given that I’m from Germany and English is not my first language, and also given that I’m neither very good at it nor do I have a PR team, I would expect writing at least on my level, I guess?
But here’s the thing, take a look at Google or MS posts about sustainably and being green, and you’ll realize, truly realize how one could say so much without saying anything… this wall of text that you’re talking about is full of insights
And these companies are the benchmark? I mean, can’t we expect more from a nonprofit? There are some insights, yes, but they’re drowning in the wall of text.
Just as an insight for you: a news article is supposed to increase in detail level from top to bottom. The headline shows the rough topic, subtitle slightly expands on that, the first paragraphs tell the actual story, the next paragraphs provide more and more context. The idea is, that a reader can stop reading if she feels like there’s been enough context.
Look at the article here and ask yourself if it fits this description.
Why would I not say that?
Clearly they can’t get their point across. And I don’t know, why people down vote me for that.
KDE starts a new initiative, and does so by creating a giant wall of text that says very little about the initiative itself. So little in fact, that people here obviously don’t understand what they’re actually trying to do. That is bad communication. Simple as that. And given that this is not a random blog post, but a press statement, I’m pretty sure a bunch of people read it before publishing it.
Epochs aren’t that simple either.
First of all, local time can be relevant, so you have to store timezone information somewhere anyway.
Epochs are also somewhat iffy in regards to leap years or seconds.
And finally: write me an SQL to retrieve all entries submitted in 2022 using just epochs.
Timezones are annoying as fuck, don’t get me wrong, but simply ignoring them isn’t a solution either.
But I regularly throw a few handfuls of assorted pills and drive around the continent for a full weekend.
I literally can’t use that car!!!
