it just shows that language design is part of IT that moves slowly, because they are good enough. Also, we do happen to have a few millenia of experience with languages, whereas most people get by quite alright without solving numerical puzzles of all kinds.
Maths should be preparing for this in advance. after all it's just maths, even with the sorting and all. We are not talking about systems programming or such like. Still, as others mention, having a pc with a debugger and other distractions is ... distracting.
The spread of this opinion has an upstart attitude to it. There might be a profit to be made in raising donations, or otherwise awareness, for the cause.
to assume that maths is itself the absolute truth ,which suppesedly actual mathematics are supposed to lead to, is an apt syllogism. It's saying, any kind of math that doesn't reveal an absolut truth isn't real maths.
It's a sense of realism where only those rights have meaning, that you can up hold, with brute force, the same way wealth f.ex. allows threatening and engaging adversaries with lawyers and court fees.
I have no idea to which country you are referring. I can't find any broad consensus, and all I can find are postings for internships in student health services.
I also think you're really underestimating the severity of the problem we have here. I'm not talking about a reduction in on-site staff towards a centralized service. I'm referencing a school known to be infected with mold[1] where a child died[2] from an asthma attack solely because there were no health workers or medical supplies available. These deaths[3] have been ongoing since the 2013 school year when the city decided to close 23 schools[4] and severely overcrowd the rest.
This of course on top of the police brutality that has taken national headlines lately but have been a permanent fixture of this city. I highly recommend the documentary Let The Fire Burn[5] for a clear example of this type of warfare.
