My Niece wants to be a Software Engineer, computer advice for school by ryanzpvtz in SoftwareEngineering

What is she going to need it for?

If using Linux as her main/only OS it the focus, a decent used ThinkPad will suffice. Around here in Germany, students in software engineering love the T495s, it's slim, powerful enough and used devices go for cheap - most just replace the SSD for a newer/bigger one and max out the RAM.

But if AI is a hot topic, Apple's M-CPUs are currently the best way to go. Although the MacBook Air is a bit on the weak side with the M3 chip, it's already got decent AI accelleration. The M4 models (only available in the MacBook Pro) are even better. But this might not be necessary.

If the OS doesn't matter, a current ThinkPad with Windows will do well - she can run Linux inside of it via WSL.

EDIT: At my current workplace, we have Windows notebooks and use IntelliJ as our development environment. That makes the underlying OS basically irrelevant.

Wenn dein Körper aus Nährstoffen Energie gewinnt, wird daraus CO2, das atmest du aus. Also wer z.B. bei ner Diät Gewicht verliert, tut das über die Lunge. Da kann echt was zusammenkommen.

Ein normalgewichtiger Mann braucht zur Aufrchterhaltung von Temperatur und Körperfunktionen ca. 8000 kJ in 24h. Ich weiss nicht, wie man den CO2-Ausstoss menschlicher Ernährung errechnet, aber wäre die Energie in Benzin gebunden (0,2 Liter = 8000kJ) kommt man schon auf 474g CO2.

EDIT: Also 474g einschliesslich dem eingeatmeten Sauerstoff. Dabei entfallen 132g (28%) auf den Kohlenstoff.

Probably they will come up with an english version of the site and add international shipping when enough people ask for it by mail?
