What is insane, is how many people studied computer science but are totally unable to apply mathematics to the problems they try to solve.
Could you elaborate on this? My experience during my computer science education was that a lot of maths was required, but just usually not the same kind of maths as most of the rest of mathematics, because continuous stuff doesn’t apply most of the time.
I think a big difference between the way maths and programming is done however is the way it is written. Mathematics is usually about stating a relation as an equation, i.e. x = y^2. But programming can’t just state the relation, it needs to also state how to compute that relation. Honestly my confusion is that maths has never focused more on the computation part of it, it seems very weird to me.
It’s a political necessity really. If you keep denying the losing party any influence, they’ll grow bigger.
The Danish political system has very successfully stopped the far right parties by acknowledging their concerns and bringing some but not all of their policies into the centrist parties. Honestly this is probably much better than the alternative of the far right parties getting more and more influence.
EDIT: If you’re not Danish and not familiar with our (very successful, I might add) democratic political system, you might not understand, but it has worked quite effectively here. Keep in mind the Danish political leaning is quite leftist already, so even some of our “right-wing” parties are still quite left wing all things considered.
