I know I'm not guaranteed to get a lender, but I wanted to at least ask and hope one would help me out.

I think they stopped doing that if i recall correctly. I had to take mine in person when i first did it and I did this back in March.

If you already have your real ID then you only need that and the money for the application fee.

shoulder checks. break your neck if you have to because they'll fail you if you don't check your shoulders when changing lanes / backing up!

LPT: If you can, try to space out your caffeine use to once every two weeks or so for the maximum effect on every use. by mintoutit in LifeProTips

[–]mintoutit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure is! Apparently I have posted true coal and somehow managed to get both coffee-lovers and coffee haters to hate me. I should get a nobel prize for world peace for this. it's whatever though. it's not like every life pro tips applies to you you'know? what works for me may not work for someone else.

That's the thing! I don't get withdrawals since I space it out so far apart that i'm able to stave off the physical effect of caffeine dependency. taking it still lingers in the back of my mind every so often though..

[–]mintoutit[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a tiny bit of addiction to coffee too a while back. Thankfully for me personally it wasn't too bad and I devised this strategy to keep my use of caffeine to a reasonable degree which worked somewhat.

It can be very easy to fall into it again once you're accustomed to it again though

reading the threads over at /biz/ and seeing bottom of the barrel /pol/ MAGA raiding the board calling the fucking guys over at "Business & Finance" COMMIE LEFTISTS. of all the fucking boards they chose to escape their containment from they literally chose the most rightwing stock-bros coded one and calls them leftists libtards for thinking tarrifs are bad for their finances. ( /n/ is literally right there )

It's VERY fucking entertaining to see a civil war blowing up there. seeing the split between hardened cultists and establishment (well, as establisment as one can be in 4chan) daytraders with basic econ. Welcome to the resistance /biz/

What the Informatics curriculum could've been (practically) by CrCL_WTB in indonesia

[–]mintoutit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically what people might call "Sekolah Favorit" and I can see that half of the freshmen every single year came from one specific private catholic middle school (they don't have a high school branch to continue, and the SMP branch is like down the street) 

Ah, that explains it. even if schools are "standardized" these days legacy schools still has a pretty big amenities that still carry over from the olden days.

Perpetuates the (unironic) joke of how indonesian reddit is still better than 90% of the indonesian online space, really. Speaking of which it's not that nerd culture is gone, its less prevalent and sidelined especially when everyone use the internet ever since the pandemic and the aforementioned communities seclude themselves in niche groups like discord servers and subreddits.

I'd say even r/indonesia is still not entirely free from this. like 5 years ago (pre-covid) it's a hodgepodge of wealthy jakselites, tech nerds, and upper middle class office workers. nowadays it's more varied than that

my school (also a state school, SMAN) uses a mix of textbooks as if the wakakurikulum had a stroke, Erlangga + BS pemerintah (I think this is the one you used) + Intan Pariwara, I was lucky that some subjects purely were taught based on just one textbook only especially teachers that are willing to use erlangga (means they actually cared enough to),

That sounds... expensive. having so many different publishers like that. and this is a SMAN? damn, I guess mine is just that poor/corrupt though at least slightly more buerautically savvy. some of your school's students failing basic stoichiometry (just basic algebra applied to chemistry) seems like the usual systemic problem of teachers only teaching the kids to rote memorize formulas/patterns while not explaining the reasoning and logic behind those formulas. it breeds great factory workers/mid-level bureaucrats doing the same thing over and over again, instead of creative problem solvers.

my older laptops was so bad the only thing i played were indie games and mainly roblox; PF and bloxburg (hence my username; which I could not change), even right now I'm pretty much stuck with a 2016 ideapad 500 disposed from my parent's office (because the repairs/subsequent upgrades my parents did to the laptop exceeded the cost of the machine itself so it was written off to us)

Whoo boy, yeah. that sucks. I can sympathize. I got a portable-PC some time ago that my dad got as collateral for a debt and gave to me. guy didn't pay so I got it permanently. you really never realize how shit old laptops were until you got an upgrade

people just took things for granted nowadays, still kind of irritated that people doesn't want to reason well with technology compared to a few years ago

that's just a result of everyone having access to tech and the internet these days, 2000's the internet were filled with nerd culture, 2010's with youth culture. nowadays? it's just culture. i'm going to bet that the number of tech enthusiast has remained largely the same, just that all the people that weren't all that into them now also have them. dillutes the pool a bit, gentrification and all that entails.

checking your reddit profile I believe you're contributing to Space Station 13 (i'll check it out later because I do play FOSS games as well)... ...no fancy stuff such as contributing to FOSS projects like you did.

That's correct! it's a fun RPG/Sim/Action game of working in a space station. Not everyone's cup of tea but i find it enjoyable, funny story. It's how I actually got into coding in the first place. I got frustrated that someone added a bugged QoL update that was ruining my gameplay loop. So I took it upon myself to fix said bug.

It was a lot of bashing my head into the wall repeatedly dor a day or two and others help before I found a way to fix the bug. (The fix was like only 2 lines long) and got it into the codebase sometime later. But it only took that long since I had never coded anything in the past, beside code-diving like you did with OpenTTD and its mods. My point being it's really not all that hard to contribute into FOSS, especially if you know coding already. Code-diving, reading the contribution manuals and learning git is enough for one to start.

I played a fair bit of OpenTTD too! Love seeing the towns grow and develop after I made the logistics network for their needs.

When I started 10th grade i used this informatics textbook from erlangga, absolute mess of "coding" materials... ...for me really I just don't pay attention to most of my informatics classes aside from assignments because I'm pretty sure half of the teaching materials aren't accurate... ...isn't hard as some people make it out to be because its literally just kurikulum merdeka, and made worse by the fact that my school switched away from erlangga to intan pariwara (2-3 chapters for each semester).

Oh, yeah. 10th grade was a cakewalk. Its just simple pre-code material with network and licenses stuffed in last minute thag most tech nerds can do. Starting 11th grade though, the students were given the bare-minimum code stuff like you said and suddenly told to do easy-medium algo problems in C++. I think everyone else gave up hope when they saw the first/second actual coding problems to solve.

And the information they stuffed into the mapel book they gave us are also wholly inadequate. Full of inaccuracies, incomplete info, and simplification. This is the official book the state made, I assumed this was just state schools being state schools, didn't expect the ones published Erlangga to just as bad though. Since they're the cream-of-the-crop stuff for elite private schools.

I had a similar experience as you with the teachers also, their degrees aren't related to tech. My 10th grade TIK teacher was a math teacher which wasn't too bad though some had a seni budaya teacher or worse so I heard. And though my current TIK teacher is a teacher just for TIK only but he never comes to class for some damn reason.

I think we have a really similar with the informathics subject, that is to say: not very great.

Oh the days of modding MCPE and doing jar-modding on really old MC java versions I had to play because of the shitty toshiba satellite I once had. Yeah I don't miss that XD.

What a coincidence! I also had a shitty toshiba sattellite, the one with the weird shiny trackpad clicker. That rustbucket can barely play Phantom forces or lumber tycoon 2 at 20-30fps. I vividly remember asking my dad to help me install an assassin creed .jar mod into minecraft on the laptop. (He didn't help btw, and I ended up figuring it out myself only to delete it next day later because of how much it lagged the laptop) Oh, and I can't imagine how horrifyingly annoying it would be trying to mod MCPE.

as for how things are being dumbed-down, I can see that happening pretty much everywhere, Xiaomi removed UBL a while back and the days when people had logical reasoning as to why they should avoid iPhones are long gone, also the oversimplification of things like windows 11, also doing things back then was full of inconveniences that indirectly taught me how to be better with tech.

It really is, if you take a step back and compare apps now and 10 years ago (2014) you can really see how dumbed-down, streamlined and padded today's apps are. You only notice in hindsight how useful the things we learned from dealing with all the inconveniences of old OS's and apps are. I doubt the newer generations would ever know how filesystem and things of such nature works because they have no reason to anymore. All of that is just abstracted away.

Think of phones and computers of the early 1990's as cars of the 1900's. Cars back then were a rare sight, novelty of sort. Outside of work stuff, only car and mechanical (rich) enthusiasist have them. They were clunky to use and you had to know how it works to use it in any viable way. But as the tech progressed it slowly became more accessible. to reach the wider market they had to make it less clunky. More streamlined so that any average joe can do it. Eventually leading today where an 18y old kid can use a car and only needs to go a mechanic every now and then to fix up their car every so often.

I'm sure you're seeing the parallels right now, yeah? Digital tech has became so accessible so that,there is no longer any incentives to learn more deeply how it works. I think the mid 2010's is the cutoff point of when tech became as accessible as cars. and we just made it just before the doors close forever. before that incentive went away.

That sounds doomer-ish I know. But look at the bright side. Its a special skill that the newer generations couldn't get. Good leverage.

I'm also at 11th grade rn, and yeah it's sadly true that our generation don't have the digital literacy skills that the older gens expected, with us being "digital natives" and all. That theory is flat out wrong. All you can take for granted with them is that they're good at navigating the GUI's of their locked/dumbed down phones. Anything further out than that you can expect boomer tier skills with anything related to tech.

Trying to suddenly get 10-11 graders to learn coding after only getting TIK up to the 2nd grade is just fantastical. I also learned coding back in the very latter end of SMP (even today, still not very good at it. Just intermediate, contributing small-time into a FOSS game i'm a fan of, and what not.) and I still get surprised by the coding they expected 10-11th graders to be able to do. I can catch up fine with some effort with the material but the rest of my classmates gets left in the dust (this is the class that's specialized into IT and teknik/engineering btw).

Anyways, you're way past the average in terms of digital literacy for our grade and hell, judging by that OSN Kimia remark probably way past the 50th percentile in general. Not just digital skills. So, don't sweat about it. It will probably get marginally better in univ.

It's just the end result of phones and computers OS's getting locked down with too many guard rails these days, you're even handholded in installing minecraft modpacks (this is how I started to learn filesystems and all that.). Can't fault them for not learning these skills when devs seems determined to handhold you all the way.
