But then you need to know enough about the topic already to know what is stable and what changes with newer versions.

Like, the “web dev boot camp” course I got from UDemy a few years ago as a guide for building a web dev high school course: I recently went back to to look something up, and the whole thing has been completely redone start to finish. Makes sense, considering that it’s updated to the newest versions of Bootstrap and other libraries (and who knows what else).

I know nothing about Rust, but I would assume there are at least some libraries that have major new versions in the last couple of years which might change best practices somehow? idk. But the harder part is not knowing what you don’t know.

Whoever is the subject of the verb “did”. Whoever did something.

Whomever is an object, so whoever did something to whomever.

In other words, “whoever” does things; “whomever” has things done to them.

My jaw literally dropped reading that.

I think it’s time to go outside.

Grading in red is generally avoided, nowadays. Red is closely associated with failure/danger/bad, and feedback should generally be constructive to help students learn and grow.

I usually like to grade in a bright colour that students are unlikely to pick: purple, green, pink, orange, or maybe light blue (if most students are working in pencil). Brown is poo. Black and dark blue are too common. Yellow is illegible. Red is aggressive.

Anyway, I’m guessing they just graded everything in green. The only time I’ve ever graded in more than one colour was when I needed to subgrade different categories of grades, like thinking/communication/knowledge/application. In that case, choosing a consistent colour for each category makes it easier to score.

I think them getting the number of stars wrong is most likely, yeah.

The image shows it ending with |D. Options:

B***ID
B***HD
B***ND
B***AD

The shape of the | means I think these are unlikely: B***WD
B***MD
B***JD
B***VD

If the picture and number of stars are both accurate, and I’m reading it correctly, then I’m at a loss.

BEHIND wouldn’t be censored, I assume, but who idk. British sweating is different than Canadian. You can say “fuck” on TV but not “bloody hell”, so there’s probably something there in missing.

You read it backwards. Boys are not permitted to have hair past their eyebrows, earlobes, or collars. The school district’s opinion was that it doesn’t matter if the hair is tied up in locs, the length of the hair violates their hair-length restrictions regardless of the style.

They have kept the student out of class since August denying him instruction materials and the school-provided hot lunch for not respecting the policy which, among other things, is meant to “teach respect for authority”.

Even worse, this is all despite there being a law in Texas that was explicitly written in response to a different Texas high school denying a student from attending graduation with the same hair style. But, according to the school board, and agreed to by the judge, the legislation did not specifically allow for exemption to hair length in school dress codes. They aren’t policing his hair style (that requires long hair), they’re policing his hair length. Which is, apparently, legal.

Why the fuck is that a school policy in the 21st century? And who the fuck thought it was appropriate to put a student into quasi solitary confinement for a semester and go to court to fight for the right to enforce institutional racism?

I’ve only seen 4K REMUX streaming as the top quality option, but there’s no reason why 8K streaming would be impossible. You could even set it up privately with Jellyfin.

That makes sense, to be fair. Movie catalogs are more of a “long tail” product. It’s not economical to stock 1000s of titles in 100s of locations, but it’s a crappy shopping experience if they only have a few titles. So, even those who do still buy physical media won’t frequent Best Buy for them.

You can stream REMUX rips if you have the bandwidth and are willing to pay for a Debrid service, and those are BluRay quality. It’s possible to stream BluRay quality, it’s just that the main players aren’t willing to offer the service since it costs them more bandwidth and most users won’t care about the difference and will complain that their shitty internet/devices can’t handle it.

Not their (organic) eggs, at least in my area. They have pale, tasteless yolks. Other than eggs, we get Kirkland if it’s an option.

1.06 births per woman is going to lead to a population collapse, and I don’t think China is attractive enough to immigrants to make up for the gap.

The developed world would be having similar challenges, broadly, but have higher birth rates, generally, and much higher immigration.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but I think fears of a Chinese-led hegemony replacing the current US-centred regime is becoming increasingly unlikely.

Edit: I was curious, so I looked it up, and it’s even worse than I thought:

The net migration rate for China in 2021 was -0.252 per 1000 population

There’s no use using logic to argue someone out of a position they didn’t arrive at by logic in the first place.

They just hand wave anything away as “this is a test of faith in this life, but it is only the eternal afterlife that matters.” There’s literally no arguing with it.

Not sure what country you’re taking about, but I agree. Great example(s).

The eggs part, in particular, is hardly a “big lie”. Eggs are cheap, quick to prepare, delicious, and packed with good nutrients.

The idea of meat at every meal, however, I completely agree.

Yes. I know some of those words.

Seriously, though, I’m not a programmer, but I picked up enough from context cues and background information that I think I got most of the big ideas. It’s fun to read about computer science.

I wonder where my life would have gone if I’d made a different career choice, away from CS.

What a great article. Practical and poetic.

It would have been nice to have a connection made to Flow, since that’s what was being alluded to throughout, but maybe excluding Flow was deliberate in some way I’m missing?

In general that old math theorems/ideas are named after the mathematicians who discovered them.

Pythagoras didn’t discover the Pythagorean Theorem. Pascal didn’t discover Pascal’s Triangle. Fibonacci didn’t discover the Fibonacci Sequence.

That’s a good one. I was thinking older history, but trickle-down economics has had a long enough run of endless disaster without any hint of trucking down for long enough now that we know it doesn’t work. If only we could keep it in the history books!

The full analysis is of course much more complicated, but I can’t stay to talk about it because I have a date.
