Right, that specific claim should be understood with US high schools and higher education in mind. There the massed approach rules the day. Since these things I mentioned are well demonstrated to be effective and you don't think there&

Yeah there seems to be some confusion. I agreed with the comment I replied to in the sense that teaching well requires specific domain knowledge and some specific pedagogy. Where I disagree is the assertion that the "tactics", to

Totally agree. The pessimist in me says that part of this is unavoidable. Our tools specialize so that we can direct our limited resources elsewhere, as a consequence of delegating those particular abilities atrophy in us. Not being able to

Man choosing `.xyz` as a TLD in a world with corporate firewalls is such an unforced error.

Very neat! If they can crack this, I might actually bite and finally buy one.

Zed has a sweet sales pitch. Once they add extension support, I'll tune back in.

The article itself states, “You cannot adapt to this. There’s some studies of what happens to agriculture in Great Britain, and it becomes like trying to grow potatoes in Northern Norway.” So, in this case, the headline is accurately sellin
