TFA is about teachers being outgunned by the t-rex game. If they can not even outcompete the t-rex game they should not be teaching. A generation back this would have been minesweeper and solitaire. These are all boring games. Further back

No, calling this harm is sadly laughable. If teachers can be so boring that the t-rex game outcompetes them for the attention of students then the problem is teachers not the game. I understand that not al teachers can be like Richard Feynm

Than you agree and are missing the point. Some textbook publishers are intentionally making small changes from year to year to intentionally make the life of those using second hand text books miserable. Corporations have long since realise

You did not depend on the manufacturer to do that maintenance. The manufacturer could have even gone out of business and you could still fix or find someone to fix your car. You however depend on the original developer to click that build b

You could connect mass storage to an Android Phone for a very very long time if not from the start. Certainly from the beginning if you consider SD cards to be mass storage. And you could physically connect mass storage to an iPhone since b

This looks like a problem of scaling. The punishment should scale with repeat offenses in order to both provide clear consequences and to prevent a cost of business attitude.

I get that you can do it using FreeRDP, but why?? This should be done via MiraCast. And then the same system would be compatible with smart tvs, smartphones, Samsung Dex and Windows. For Linux the project implementing the protocol is called

> "Meat eaters want vegans to eat this thing instead of soy meat" - why would meat eaters care about what vegans eat? I did a double take at that too. But after a bit of thought, I think it might actually be true. I'd like

I think you are conflating enthusiasm with motivation. We should not try to motivate students, we should try to not kill students enthusiasm. And for this the very early classes are essential. If you kill a persons enthusiasm in a subject o

Exactly, the effect of such a law would be to incentivize building mansions. And the savvy owners may even go the route of forming collectives of mansion owners. Therefore each owner only owns one massive house that friends can use part of

I am starting to think the requirements were crafted to push towards enabling surveillance without outright stating it. PIRs are cheap and last basically the lifetime of the hotel. I would need to see some actual data to believe this whole

As in other threads about psychoactive substances I wonder how much the result of the trip is influenced by the psychonaut's predisposition towards spirituality and magical thinking.

About that, there are stories about what happens when you crit fail that d40 and for various levels of succeed or fail. But I never heard a story about someone rolling a crit succeed.

Unfortunately, for now, it is just .Net Framework, even on SQL Server on Linux. This is another caveat. I am sure in the future, .Net Core and Standard will be supported.

Part of the reason is that SQL is simply a bad language (the JavaScript of databases). Part of the reason is also the thinking and philosophy behind DBMSs as interactive systems. Especially with regards to code. A function doesn't just

When done poorly that is the result. And it is very easy to do poorly. But I think the basic premise of combining functional and relational is valid. At the very least it avoids the object relational impedance mismatch.

A few points: - I can understand why this might appear as hell to many. SQL is unwieldy and doesn't play nice with many tools we use to make life easier. - I agree with the fundamental premise that a combination of functional and relat

It also has the appeal of being descriptive instead of being prescriptive. (Just like linguists for English vs French). Tropes aren't good or bad, they just are. And with time they become fashionable or unfashionable. Traditional liter
