I’ve worked with rPis, Beaglebones, that NTc Linux board, and nanoPis. As somebody who is not a Linux Guru, the RPi is extremely nice because I can google anything I want to do or any error I get + raspberry pi and get a decent jumping off

Yeah, this is very real to me. Even after explaining what a wireframe is, I’ve had execs very confused why I’m proposing the UI look like black lines on white background. And not just just execs - I’ve had devs try to implement wireframes a

Pure “viewer” licenses are free on figma. You only pay per editor. And IMHO the price delta between sketch and figma is basically a rounding error on the wage cost of your designers, so it’s barely even worth thinking about.

A 100% agree that adjustment is needed. I don't even like TLA (end plagiarism detection? Really?), but I think the discussion around it is valuable. The flag system gives a small number of users the ability to kill articles entirely to

That injects a ton of bias into your marking though. Under that method, shy students and students with poor verbal skills (for example, ESL) don't stand a chance. I have seen excellent work come out of students that you could barely

I have seen students plagiarize co-op work term reports, which at the institution that I marked at are binary pass/fail with a near 100% pass rate (barring plagiarism). The assignment isn't long, is on a subject the students alrea

I was gonna say. The author never elaborates on it, but this is a profoundly silly take. Plagiarism is not just unethical, it also is (in my experience) a pretty good indicator the student didn't learn the subject matter. If you know w

FWIW hermès has been pretty trigger happy with their lawyers in the past. They sent E3D C&D notices until they renamed their hotend/extruder combo (read: nothing at all to do with bags) to “hermera”.

We’ll, at a certain point CPU consumption from hashing a sufficiently massive pass would be a concern, no? Like, bcrypt is a pretty slow function, although I don’t know how it scales with input length. Edit: Hunh, apparently bcrypt only han
