The algorithm is the problem

I love lichess.org as an example of what can be done by cutting out executives. It's a chess website that strongly rivals chess.com. Everyone who works on it gets paid, but the site is free, and lives on donations. And only a tiny percentage of users donate, yet they still cover all costs. Because none of it is going to corporate leeches.

You can also use typst. It's a modern alternative for LaTeX.

I was actually working and worrying about my taxes when i was in 10th grade. I think that's pretty common. It could be taught in 10th to 12th depending on when kids decide to learn it, maybe.

I'm genuinely curious why, if this is serious. I feel like adulting badly needs to be taught better. I'm nearing mid twenties and still get so confused at a lot of adult things, especially government shit, because it's just so much to figure out for the first time.

It's definitely important to teach math and science and language, and to teach people how to do their own research, and think, and learn, etc. But are you saying practical skills shouldn't also be taught?

It's an artist's impression. We almost certainly got no idea what its continents look like at that distance.

You can disable updates using massgravel to get enterprise mode, and then disabling automatic updates in gpedit :3

"fn" was just one example. There's also other abbreviations like "pub", "impl", "extern", "mut", "ref", "bool", "u64" And it's true that some of these keywords are only relevant in Rust, however other langues have their own specific keywords, and they tend to be longer. In languages like Java (which is the worst example I can think of), you see things like "private static boolean" as function definition. In c++, you have to type "unsigned long" or even "unsigned long long" to represent "u64" (depending on data model).

Keywords aren't variables

One of the reasons i find it so hard to use non-Rust languages is how ugly they typically are by comparison. "fn" instead of "function" is such a great example of saving key presses where they're most needed. And you get very used to seeing compact abbreviations. Idk if that's what you're talking about though.

In my personal tests of jxl, it manages filesizes 1/9th that of png while remaining visually identical (unless looking VERY closely). It's a massive improvement over jpeg and honestly a replacement for png in most cases.

Like I'm saying 8MB for a 8000x6000 file at max quality (estimating from memory)
