gollark: Quite a lot of the time people try and get degrees not because they actually need to know something important about the subject, but because they won't be taken seriously/hired without one, which is bad.
gollark: Well, they cost a massive amount for some bizarre reason, and if you just subsidize it people will come out with degrees but it will also be a massive money pit.
gollark: Free universities is a very very bad idea.
gollark: Idea: discrete cosine transforms.
gollark: > On Sunday, baidicoot declared that the first demo would be released soon-ish (but not now). Although the engine was ready, some minor features like controls needed to be added before it met with the lord's approval. But, due to baidicoot's phenomenal genius, the demo was finished in just a few hours, uploading “epeleptic demo” to his GitHub at 2020-04-12 16:48 UTC+0100. This was the first release of EWO, v0.1.0.0, also known as “EPILEPSY DEMO”.
