Inflation adjustment doesn’t really tell the whole story though, it’s not like salaries have gone up by the same amount. Regardless, I don’t like dealing with the Zero unless I specifically need something that tiny. It’s just too annoying. Don’t get me wrong! They’re cool! I’m just saying unless I really need a Pi Zero I wouldn’t wanna work with one. I’d rather work with x86_64 than Arm. Like even just getting Java working was really tricky on Zero. Much like a microcontroller has limitations for what you can run on them but they have other benefits, Zeros aren’t really general purpose.

So yeah, dirt cheap used laptop for general purpose server beats out dirt cheap Pi in my book.

They’re different but they are similar. They rhyme.

The title says “Christian Music Industry”, in the article she is quoted as saying “I hope the CCM industry crumbles”. I believe it is pretty clear that she’s talking about the industry.

She is contrasting being gay as a sin with profiting on “faith and vulnerability”. Nothing to do with “music is bad.”

Emphasis mine.

“Because this is a man whose entire faith identity is built upon a faulty structure of self-hatred, to please a system that would rather cover up abhorrent behaviour for 20+ years (and make money off of it) rather than accept that being gay is not the problem,” Williams wrote, giving her perspective of having grown up around faith-based music communities in the Nashville area.

“I grew up around this. I am not afraid of any of these people — most of them have written me off anyway by now. How many stories like this from this VERY small corner of the music industry will we hear before we realize that capitalizing on people’s faith and vulnerability is the ‘sin.’”

Which part? Because the “it’s not x86” is even more annoying to deal with on Pi Zero lol.

The shitty 2010 laptop isn’t disappearing

No reason why a laptop wouldn’t work though.

Also, Raspberry Pi first got popular because of the size and cost. Now it’s popular because it’s popular. Not hating on them, I think they’re cool, but they’re not cheap any more. Especially with the scalping.

Getting x86_64 based systems is going to mean much less headache. Unless you truly truly need the size I wouldn’t consider getting a Pi or other SBC. Just go to literally any used marketplace (Facebook, Craigslist, etc) and get anything.

I hate questions like that. You need a good answer ready because you don’t wanna seem like a bad pick, but those are such bullshit questions. “I applied and you responded.”

I say it sometimes as a bit of a joke. It depends on when it comes up. It’s moreso with third party recruiters through forms that refer your resume to other places because they ask things like “what are your top 3 wants.” So I’ll typically say salary is number one because I wouldn’t work for free.

If the question is ever “why are you looking?” No. I wouldn’t say I “needed money”, even if I was taking a sort of unpaid sabbatical and ran out of savings. The reality is everyone knows you need money. Another reality is looking “desperate” is a negative at times. Frame yourself as someone confident and ambitious. “I’m looking for the next step in my career journey.” “I’m looking for an increase in responsibility and an increase in compensation to match.” Things like that.

“This only applies to the most widely used OS and won’t work without someone clicking grant admin permissions which most people probably do blindly.”

🙄 Ugh

Imaginary numbers are not “more accurate”, they don’t invalidate any previous understanding. They are an imaginary concept with interesting properties. For mathematics, that’s enough.

No. Imaginary numbers have the worst name. Like the Schrodinger’s Cat thought experiment it was something meant to mock the concept originally but stuck once real applications were found. Imaginary and complex numbers describe very real processes in nature and are not just some weird artifact of trying to get the square root of a negative number.

Here is an interesting video on the topic that also covers some of the applications used to describe things in nature. https://youtu.be/cUzklzVXJwo

If you prefer text here is an article listing some. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/maths/applications-of-imaginary-numbers-in-real-life/

Like what rectangular prism is the best? It really depends on what for. Sometimes wide and flat is better, sometimes tall and narrow is okay. Maybe a cube is nice.

Seeding illegal, leeching legal! This is not advice, be kind and seed!

The third one is hilarious. Like some filter is like “whoa whoa you can’t commit suicide in an image, but shooting your shadow? Deep. Poignant. Mysterious. I’ll allow it.”

I think this is something a lot of folks go through.

My entire point is that before they weren’t saying “real” versus “imaginary”. You’re proving my point. In the other fields mentioned you could make the same argument about the interpretation changing but the book still being useful.

You’re gonna be fine. Honestly, if your team has given you permissions to do something accidental like this then it’s on them. You’re not gonna get stuck with the bill. You’re not gonna get fired. It wouldn’t be your fault.

It’s really only scary when you’re doing it solo with your own back information lol.

No, it changed things like “how many roots does x² + 2x + 2 have” from “none” to “two”.

You could make the same argument for things like mathematics before the discovery about imaginary numbers.
