It is an interesting article and some of the results are unexpected, but the layout is way too long and could be greatly condensed. At first glance and speaking from how I like to lay things out in a paper: - You do not really need to show

Why do I have to dig so far down into this thread before finding someone with an informed position based in actual history of cities? Everything else I'm seeing is coming from a standpoint that screams of a sheltered position separated

I find it harder to read the traffic overlay with the very reduced contrast of the new styling. There is a road that I drive on every commute that is right next to a much larger highway that renders 3 times as wide. The two blend together a

This article sadly passes over one of the most important features of vim, which is its ability to work as an ascii art editor. To begin, open a new buffer and create your canvas: "99i<space><Esc>yy99pgg0". This will ma

I could be wrong. I can't locate the source I found originally. Online chatter for a city planning forum said around 20k. This very old information says it's a lot less, but I don't think these numbers would be accurate for a

I trust my sources (mainly, a city planner that's been working here for 30 years). Certain engineering specialists out here sometimes make absolutely absurd amounts of money because they work on contracts with such limited scope, the e

In the USA, the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices has an (I think) reasonable requirements for crossing durations but almost no further recommendations about maximum wait times. This results in completely idiotic timing programs of

Probably, yes. I think this is probably true of any customized TWM. For me that speed comes from the superior workspace management and less from the keyboard navigation. In gnome I find that the switching through alt-tab, super-tab and the

The students just use GPT within class because they are completely shameless. I'd have to sit behind them and watch their screens like a prison guard. I haven't resigned myself to that so far. I think the more reasonable solution

The outliers consistently write better prose but they never include nearly as much distinct points of information within their responses. They also have way less fluff. They include personal anecdotes. That professor probably didn't ha

I am half tempted to show students how easy it is to fool the detection. Turn something into a parenthetical, remove red flag phrases, cut out fluff. Or better yet, just use it as a skeleton draft and rewrite it in your own words. Then I wo

key word being "there", in your scenario the process is entirely in the favor of cheaters.

The burden of proof on the professor is so high there that the result would be nobody ever getting accused of cheating, which already happens because the graduate students that do most of the grading are not paid enough to do detective work

I taught a 102 course last semester with 13 weekly very short writing assignments. The level of cheating was pretty demoralizing. In one week, 15 of 75 students all used ChatGPT. Luckily when you are grading that many at a time it becomes v

You must endlessly google for the first week(s) to learn how to use it. Luckily I have only encountered a few issues where stack did not have an existing answer. The youtube tutorials out there are sometimes OK but typically mediocre and an

Use mamba instead of conda to install your packages, and always use the conda-forge channel. mamba is essentially a drop-in replacement. I have always found conda to be horribly slow for installing packages. For environments: - `conda env c

The US surveillance state, which can surveil the internet at the backbone level, and has violently suppressed left movements at home and abroad under every administration for over a century, continues to do shady things. No shit?

Black people make up a much smaller proportion of the upper income deciles so forcing prices upwards in an area makes it less diverse by default.

Since Shelly v. Kraemer in USA it's illegal to write zoning code that explicitly excludes poor/black people from an area. The main way it is enforced now is by writing code that prohibits anything but single family homes in an are

I have a similar story - I had a bike that was lost for a few years, then a friend recognized it in a pile of about 50 stolen bikes in a basement nearby. The cops were useless for other than getting me inside the building. Luckily the thief

It's seeming like piracy and Plex servers is the only way forward for people who want to stream stuff without having to worry about it getting removed eventually or the service getting worse year after year.

I half agree. I used the tiling window manager i3 for about a year, then gnome for the past two years. I really do like to move windows around and arrange them, it feels sort of tactile. I like the simple extensibility of i3 - even as a nov
