Big O notation is a violation of the volcel oath
should i watch that? i think i saw half of one episode one time on tv
Every episode has like a twist ending just so you go oh, and the finale has a gigantic twist just for the sake of getting you to give the big OH
Terrible gimmick for an anime
IDK I've seen about as much as you when I was like 13
It's very atmospheric, and manages to feel deeper than it is most of the time. The end feels nihilistic to me but I enjoy the ride.
cuz if you don't know the laws of scaling you will fall for shit like the LLM grift again and again. we should be teaching it even sooner. 
Everyone should know Amdahl's Law on the limits of parallelization.
Probably half of all AP classes are incomprehensible bullshit, but if you're getting put in them you're already friends with like half the nerds in the class so it loops around to being enjoyable.
My AP CS class just taught us Java and basic data structures, what did you find so hazardous in it nowadays?
Java
well there's your problem!
Java 101 isn't really bad at all, it's nothing compared to actually using Java at work.
I’m a sicko and I love Java, I’ll choose it over python for a quick project most any day. But I’m more of a systems guy so I like C and Rust the best
oh yeah, give me a static type system any day, but kotlin is far and away better for the jvm
Gödel's incompleteness theorem?
Besides college board being a neoliberals wet dream, AP CSP looks a lot better than AP CS A (java). The instructor can choose whatever programming language they need and it teaches you holistic CS topics that can be applied to any specific domain.
But also I took AP CS A and the exam was awful and stressful. How good ur CS course depends so heavily on the instructor and how they teach it.
