Just avoid the political communities That post may-be a starting point, lemmy.world/post/2216085 I try to be active on !imageai@sh.itjust.works (AI generated image, as it got so much easier to do the community lost it’s cool factor rpg@ttrpg.network and !rpgmemes@ttrpg.network for RPG discussions and meme While I am not active here !casualconversation@piefed.social is active and the talks are about pets and plan for the week-end, and if I talk about Donald, it’s the duck one ___

We’re on lemmy, the one of us loving dictatorship go to North Korea or Russia

I get your point about full time school which may require 2-3 years without income (even though in some countries you may keep your unemployment rights). But often, especially for shorter degrees, there is options in evening classes, whith less hours (sometimes at the price of a longer time) some would even give you real degree. Moreover, if unemployed, sometimes a 6 month training can give you the basis to be hired, either in a manual job, or to fix a missing skill on your CV

There’s a stereotype of Chinese brands being “low quality” which obviously isn’t always true to begin with, This was still debatable 10-15 years ago, but today? Huawei or Redmi do phone which compete in the same league as Samsung, BYD is leading the electric car market. Sure, there is still tons of cheap, low quality stuff on Ali Baba, but China has moved toward high quality products. To answer your question, I expect to see a Chinese company entering the global Ram, FPGA and GPU market. Especially considering the US embargo forbidding Nvidia and Intel to export their high end products in China. Looks like a quick way to push China to grow their domestic production

There is relatively big ones including political organization who cover ads, or sue all ads not matching environmental laws, and a whole ad-free social media trend like for example Lemmy

What’s your target audience ? An what’s the goal ? There is a difference between Giving a programming training to scientist/engineer who may need more than just Excel for data-processing/visualisation, and giving a discovery what programming looks-like for a general public, or people who want to do their own website. For general public, the good-old “Logo” that kids learned programming with in the 70-90’s is still great for scientists engineer, I would go for python which is the de-facto standard for data visualisation/processing when performance doesn’t matter For a more foundation course, I think the everything is object approach in java can be pretty great

Translation is expensive, it needs to not only to translate the story but the author’s style and pun. A niche book won’t be translated, especially in smaller languages (you have a bigger market when you translate in Spanish/French/German than when you translate in Luxemburgish or Nepalese). With that regard, english-language writer have the advantage of using a language that many can read, giving publishing company a glimpse of the translation potential. With the power of “LLM” and translation app like deepl, it may work better in the future. However, at the moment, deepl is far from giving a professional grade results, especially when you have ambiguous word or a “specific but uncommon context”. It work to share a blog-post/news article, but won’t be sufficient to get fun to read book or an usable technical manual (However, corporate legal department may have a different opinion, it will be an interesting trial the day an accident occur due to an ambiguity in an automated translation)
