I guess when taking notes, it is beneficial if you manage also to abbreviate and summarise. This is another skill that should be acquired at university.
Then there’s paying attention as in comprehending, and paying attention as in internalising. The latter takes more effort and time, as it includes relating to previous knowledge. It is not as often that lecturers manage to guide students to think along.
In 2021, a book titled “The Human-Machine Team: How to Create Synergy Between Human and Artificial Intelligence That Will Revolutionize Our World” was released in English under the pen name “Brigadier General Y.S.” In it, the author — a man who we confirmed to be the current commander of the elite Israeli intelligence...
I guess the answer at this point in time is: it allows you to define the function replacements that matter to you in pnk.lang. But if so, ksh is not a first choice for maintainable code.
So it boils down to: can it “transpile” (transpret rather) its own code?
“Our entire epistemology of science and research relies on the chain of footnotes,” explains author Martin Eve, a researcher in literature, technology and publishing at Birkbeck, University of London. “If you can’t verify what someone else has said at some other point, you’re just trusting to blind faith for artefacts that you can no longer read yourself.”
Isn’t this the natural state of things for the unprivileged majority of us that in the reality of publisher paywalls do not have access to the riches of Anglo-American research centres? Apparently Eve doesn’t know that libraries in the most of the world still struggle with paying fees to Springer. As a consequence, researchers in affiliated institutions do not have access to the corresponding published content.
From Day 1 Google’s business model has been to show sponsored content before search results. You’re probably thinking about the search engines before them.

I keeps amazing me how one could criticise capitalism and still talk exclusively in terms of capitalism.
Not a single word of the accelerating extreme deforestation of the world’s forests all over the planet. And this is just an example. The same holds about drilling and plastics, about industrial farming, construction,… I don’t care if they are profitable. They’re just aggravating the problem and there are alternatives that reduce the problem. These need to be enforced, regardless whether they are profitable (some of them are, but they still don’t overtake the problematic ones). We don’t have collective enforcement and we need it. Call it green new deal if you want, call it anarcho-communism, whatever. As long as it is just theory and no practice, it’s pointless.
Politics and growth are irrelevant if they are so detached from the problem.
I wonder why forestation is not present in this chart, as it is a low-cost carbon capture with side benefits. Sure, it is hard to scale, but reducing current deforestation rates would be a big step.
Let’s say that for millions of years a healthy biosphere grew around forests and the balance worked. Now you come to tell us it doesn’t. Wouldn’t you think it’s a bit unconvincing?
The way you put it, it sounds that you have issues with the language. I can relate to that, but JS is what browsers understand natively. Probably using TypeScript is a good alternative, as static typing helps you keep afloat as the project grows.
As for Phaser itself (can be used with TypeScript), it depends what kind of game you’re making. Even older versions of phaser have the typical programming affordances to make 2D games like assets and physics. Having said that, it’s fair that other engines have visual editors, and possibly more tutorials and other resources.
But yes, phaser is hardly HTML, so weird choice for the course.
