  • i have been to Chicago many times and used to live in NYC… i’ve also used public transit in many other cities…
    door-to-door in 20 minutes is absolute fantasy… you’re not getting to the train station in 20 minutes… especially not from if you have to take a bus.
    oh and i used to live and work in manhattan and never pulled off a 20 minute door-to-door trip….





  • we need math in programming because math is the best language for describing the universe…
    you don’t really need much to do a lot of stuff, but it’s a very math like thing… the computer was invented as a general purpose math machine, programming languages are rather similar to math… variables, functions, etc….
    imo they make students take way too much math and it ends up being “just prove that you could do this, not that you’ll need to”.
    like, “multivariable calculus with analytic geometry” isn’t needed for anything unless you’re doing scientific work….
