Do you feel that you “lose” information from the classes you took earlier?
Yes, though it's mostly because I don't find myself using a lot of it in later classes. If you're using a lot of knowledge from previous semesters in later semesters, I imagine it's less of an issue.

I'm currently working on a computer science masters degree while working full time. I've been taking one or two classes a semester each fall and spring for the past few years. I'm largely able to do it because I work a cushy WFH computer toucher job that also does tuition reimbursement, am going to a state university not far from me, and have all my classes scheduled at night. Even then, some semesters I got so overwhelmed that I needed to withdraw from some classes and take them again when I'm not drowning in stress.
I would only recommend it if you are in a stable place both schedule-wise and financially.

Mandatory interaction with puppies until puppyphobia improves!
The university I'm attending for my masters degree sometimes sends out generic emails to all the comp sci students. This one made me do a double take.

Thank you! The paper is more about the data visualization side of things, so I don't think the institution being lib is a big issue.

That looks like a good resource.
I have to write a summary paper for a class I'm doing for my masters degree, and since the professor running the seminar this semester specializes in data visualization, the paper has to be related to that. Being the aspiring Marxist that I am, I figured international trade between countries (what commodities are being exported/imported, which countries are exporting to/importing from whom, what fraction of a country's imports/exports are of a specific commodity, etc.) would be a good choice. While I'm going to look for papers myself, I figured I would have a higher likelyhood finding someone into that stuff on Lemmygrad compared to other online spaces.

My thing is always accessibility, I do user facing client development and I’m a constant pain in the ass when design gives us some unreasonably inaccessible stuff
This brings back memories of an abomination of a design I had to implement that had 3 scrollable regions whose edges were really close to eachother. None of the regions had scroll bars either. Fortunately, the project got cancelled before it could see the light of day.

Sometimes I think Lemmy's existing UI is a hot mess and feel bad about my inability to keep up with fixing all the issues. Hearing how much of a dumpster fire Reddit has become makes me feel much better about myself.
So I put a picture of a guy wearing a headband on your headband.

Yeah. For context, that question and the ones leading up to it were about how persuasive I found a rethuglican attack ad against KKKamala regarding her tenure as the border czar and letting "10 million 'illegals'" across the border.

“I think we’re in an age when nuclear deterrent is actually less effective because the West is very unlikely to use anything like a nuclear bomb, whereas our adversaries might,” he added. “Where you have technological parity but moral disparity, the actual disparity is much greater than people think.”
There's a moral disparity alright, but it's not the US who has the moral high ground.

I happened to make a mod for this ages ago: https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/WOTRDamageBreakdown
Unfortunately, I don't think it works with the current version of the game. I really need to update it at some point.

There are two sources that I think are from two English translations that you can get for free, but I don't really know the differences
The one from Iskra Books is most likely better. The one on Prolewiki is the English translation of a Portuguese translation of the original Italian, whereas the one on Iskra Books is a direct English translation from the original Italian.

Yeesh, I thought you were being hyperbolic, but it really is that bad! He even has this massive self report towards the end:
And how do you avoid being punished? There are two ways. One that works; and one that doesn’t. The one that doesn’t work is to design everything up front before coding. The one that does avoid the punishment is to override all the safeties.
And so you will declare all your classes and all your functions open. You will never use exceptions. And you will get used to using lots and lots of ! characters to override the null checks and allow NPEs to rampage through your systems.

The only time it's appropriate to cite Mein Kampf is when pointing out the parallels between the Nazis' settler colonial extermination campaign and Amerikkka's settler colonial extermination campaign. Also:
Isn’t it hypocritical for their admins to accuse us of “negativity” when they literally allow racism on their instance?
That's a waaaaa👶 tabboutism!!1!1

I'm a very materially comfortable first-worlder. I have a lot to lose from the immiseration of my class that would materially put my skin in the game, as opposed to simply relying on some sense of morality to carry me. I'm worried I might be compromised; although I suppose recognizing this already puts me ahead of many so-called leftists in the Great Satan.
