It's not fragility. Children are very adaptive and keen learners. Leading them to be easily conditioned and flipped.
Naivety is a learning mechanism which is part of human psychology and sociology of living. Where if the wrong conditions are brought to the child at a young age; it won't affect them in their now. The repercussions from the negative conditioning does surface later yet having a detrimental effect later on in their life.
I walk home from work and see toddlers with tablets, a digital nanny while the parents push the stroller as they tap on their own phone themselves. It's unlikely they know what content they're watching.
That is however the prime time where they should be interacting with their child. The child is observing everything around them and you should be engaging there observations.
The current and upcoming generations that grew up with a device in hands are now are discovering that they have range of issues from anxiety, trauma, even disassociation. Attention spans are at a whole new low and AI is exploiting that.
We have no idea nor studies how AI will affect children and if we are already starting to see that constant exposure on mature adults causes "Ai psychosis". How will it be any better for children?
It's not necessarily wrong and could be seen as exciting in many ways. It could reach the child in ways that traditional education does not because teaching is subjective. Some children are academic, some are practical, some are both.
With the unmediated push of current AI, Tablets with AI and negative environmental values; it is going to be horrifically damaging for the child later on in life.
All it takes is a toddler to press a button that spawns Ai to peddle misinformation via enhanced subliminal visuals and sounds as evidenced by current younger generations.
It's no fault of their own and you could argue that all devices have the same effect however the earlier were more tightly mediated for which you could turn off.
The community is what makes the language. If the community is toxic, than the language becomes toxic.
One stinks the other even if it's the shiniest plate in the cake shop. My first thought to starting a project in the programming language is, will my question end up with a lynch mob?
I'll give high praise to the Lazarus community. Members went out to demonstrate and constructed me alternatives when I was new to Pascal. Meanwhile, the Python community you end up with folk foaming at the mouth.
Microsoft dragged their heels hard when Firefox 3 came to the scene. IE6 was the browser at the time. Chrome was a concept and Opera at least pushed to keep up but surrendered and went to Chrome.
When do enterprises ever proper pay tax? If they did we all would be better off.
They will pay the minimum tax and that will then be pocketed by the local politicians who pushed for the DC. The town gets a pittance compared to the profit produced from these DCs.
One of the incentives to build in these areas are that they can pay low tax in the first place.
You could argue early in the days of self-hosting and HTML 2. However, the cloud was the nail in the coffin. You own nothing in the cloud. You gave up sovereignty when you traded for convenience, that's where the internet fell. We sold it for convenience and commodity and other actors swept in. Cloudflare for example.
Oh how we must need Cloudflare. How about instead of fixing, let's just throw an intermediary /s. SSL's are a racket, TLD's are too. All resource things you don't own and never will. (Unless you self-host) but otherwise you it lease out and charged. If you miss that renewal bill, sorry kid. That's our domain now.
Don't make me laugh at LetsEncrypt, I'm drinking my coffee to get through the morning. However that again is trading internet independence in to a false facade of "we are helping the internet" but as it's free, it's better than nothing.
Unless you have your own transit, Peers, AS, network, DNS which most don't and those that were independent ISPs sold themselves out. We are stuck in this atrocious capitalistic ideology of a dream, one built on lies from the beginning, until we strike that; enjoy this monopoly of corporate greed.
Bad analogy on my part, but my point still stands. That was the experience I encountered on the early net. Now everyone can use ChatGPT and SO is a coma slowly being leeched to death so you know you no longer have to worry about being asked or tested on your skills.
You think a teacher gets fed up of having to teach the same units of education every year?
"How can I read a file and split the line obtaining a pipe symbol and send it via a socket server" but the angst of "WHY DO DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT", "You shouldn't do that in X-Lang" ... well maybe because I wish to execute commands on the socket server when based on the value of the pipe.
Spoon feeding isn't inherently bad. The issue is that the spoon went from a small pile of sugar to full spoon. Then when someone really needed help, they got lynched by a mob for asking for help because it was seen as spoon feeding.
The days of the internet for me were when I got stuck, I could ask for help and a programmer would chime in and treat me like an actual human being. "Your doing it correct but in all the wrong ways, try this instead" or "how about you try it this way or hey X language may be a better suited"
That swiftly turned to: "it should be this way and no, stop asking for help". StackOverflow is evidence of this.
By then IRC had turned sterile & grumpy and as someone who's grown up with psychological trauma I was petrified posting on StackOverflow because most responses were "no it's wrong, don't code".
Which particularly is why I don't care about Python. Not sure how it is now but I saw python's community toxic. Maybe it has to be if it's to enter corporate land.
