my feeling on math & programming is that if you didn't find at least of of: * linear algebra * number theory * calculus * discrete math interesting then you should probably look into a career as a plumber or an electrician or something, because those careers more closely resemble the kind of programming you'll end up doing if you don't like math.

its sort of the equivalent of riding lawnmowers slowly over a decade becoming the standard mode of transportation with all this carlike poo poo crudely welded onto the sides and now your actual car can't drive on the tiny little roads and every time someone raves about some great feature of their new mower like "hey did you hear? the new model John Deeres have these lamps that let you safely drive in the dark so you don't have to carry a flashlight with you! they're called 'headlights!!!" you look back on your audi or lexus or whatever and die a little inside

passionate dongs posted:browsers are the de facto application platform because like it or not, yospos. these were all solved problems and your ignorance of history is sadly predictable. what killed desktop applications was security issues. it departments didn't want to be bothered with all these open ports and all these people installing these filthy applications on it's precious virginal computers.

Markov Chain Chomp posted:he's completely right, you know. the update issue has been solved but none of the major applications bothered to use the solution. its both, but yeah. if osx had been what it is now in 1998, we wouldn't be having this conversation. and in a way, the desktop IS having great success, but only on iOS.
