Personal finance, mortgages certainly yes, but that's all primary school. The moment when I actually understood I need a crash course in algebra was when I started to study machine learning - it's all based on algebra, polynomials, matrix computations etc. And I just had to quickly (re)learn all these on the way. Now imagine kids learning all this boring crap not as abstract subjects but while developing a natural language processing model to simulate Boris Johnson :)

@vfrmedia @dump_stack

They're reshuffling different topics all the time. I might be wrong, and I most certainly am, but I have a feeling the rather mechanical way it's being taught is very discouraging as the kids cannot see any relevance to their current or future life. Last week when faced with resistance in doing the statistics homework I ended up doing a motivational speech in the tone of "if you don't learn probability, you'll end up playing National Lottery" 😂

@vfrmedia @dump_stack

Did I mention I have 2 sons? 😂 So if you were 14 you'd have statistics and probability theory with large and boring probability trees, which they calculate by hand. I get the point but still this is rather inhumane. The older one already discovered caffeine without my intervention though 😂

@dump_stack

Pythagorean theorem and polynomial equations today

Just spent 2 hours doing algebra with my 12-years old son and now I'm wondering when to tell him about coffee. His brain is understandably switching off and it's certainly unfair 🤔

@dump_stack

Wow, much anonymity, so decentralized :)

@sir @monsieuricon

Further delicate trolling in SS-GB series on Netflix 😆(but historically fully justified, if Third Reich indeed conquered UK in 1940, their alliance with USSR would most likely hold)

@dump_stack @sir @monsieuricon

Do you mean like localbitcoins or Bisq? I was quite disappointed by both when I was considering this last years to transfer some money to my Russian account.I could sell BTC to ~5 people at rather poor exchange rates, mostly with accounts in Sberbank (which I don't have). Oh and one in person in St Petersburg ;) Ended up using TransferWise, as usual.

@dump_stack @sir @monsieuricon

DAI (token built on top of ETH) is faster and cheaper than BTC, and non-volatile

@PeanceAfterMath

I found matrix operations to be trivial in Matlab/Octave so it's about the right tool.

That's not Linux mindset, that's Docker mindset ;)

As everyone is praising Germany with good weather and temporarily increased use of renewables, the same people rarely notice that France *also* has renewable and combined with nuclear their energy sectors is extremely low-carbon (30 gCO2eq/kWh) - Germany never goes below 150.

EROI (energy returned on invested) answers the question "how much useful energy do we obtain for a certain effort to make this energy available" #nuclear

Кто то словил российские военные (?) радиостанции на 4625.00kHz которые разглашают вот такое:

АНВФ 28 855 ЗАСТРЕВАНИЕ 38 16 39 66
АНВФ 36 044 ВАЗЕЛИНОВЫЙ 52 11 93 66

@thor

Have you tried HJSON? https://hjson.github.io/

I personally stick to YAML because it's very readable but at the same time allows advanced features such as internal references:

dupa: &id1
field1: some
field2: data
xxx: *id1

I like Russian sarcasm and dark sense of humor 😂

What can you do, microservices 🤷‍♂️
