Haha what I remember in those cases was that the main value in having the assigned book was being able to same page during class discussions. I mean, literally the same page — so if someone says “what did ya’ll think about this quote on p.1

Ha I would spend a couple hours in front of the library copy machine at the start of the semester, and then take my stack to the store and get it bound myself.

The author of the article is a philosophy professor. In the humanities, yes it is common to read books cover-to-cover. They are more often just “books” and less the sort of textbooks you may be thinking of.

Yea, this one was weird to me. Most of my professors would automatically send out their slides after class. After all you just… showed them to the whole class. What’s the point of keeping them a secret afterwards?

Have you seen what books cost? Not textbooks, like those from Pearson or something, but regular books. This guy is a philosophy professor, so if he is assigning a book every 1-2 weeks, in a 14-week semester, let’s say that’s like 8 books. B

I used to intern for a literary magazine and I can confirm that half my copy-editing was enforcing proper use of em-dashes. This was well before 2022.

Apparently, this is not just putting Plex's own proxy/DNS service behind a paywall -- they will also gate some small features (such as the "custom server access urls") that are necessary for one to run their own reverse

To me your comment seems to be implying one of two things: 1) Black people are biologically hardwired to have a shorter life expectancy than white people 2) A shorter life expectancy among black people doesn't count -- it's only l

One problem I’ve encountered at my small startup in evaluating OCR technologies is precisely convincing stakeholders that the “human-in-the-loop” part is both unavoidable, and ultimately beneficial. PMs want to hear that an OCR solution wil

I'm pretty sure that the payout % for casinos is determined by regulations in most, if not all cases, and not by market dynamics.

I've got this on vinyl! Definitely one of my best record-store finds. On the subject of weird Star Wars musical adaptations like those on the second half of the album -- I've recently discovered the track "Dark Vader" by

I read this part as the author saying very diplomatically that this code was flat out bad and obscure, and not simply a different style or paradigm. I think your point holds if it was in fact the latter, but with the lengths the author goes

I’m sorry if I offended you — I meant social activity in the context of WFH, ie I was specifically talking about the social activity one gets at the office I’ll admit that I was throwing some shade — but I was really just implying that “5-8

You expand your pipeline into places where you were not previously looking. Go recruit at a historically black college, or a Women Who Code convention. You don’t need to lower standards. The talent is out there. If you’re not even looking i

DEI is simply a framework. Like Agile, it can be well implemented if the person implementing it understands the problems it is trying to address, along with its limitations. And just like Agile, it can be poorly implemented when the person

I always found this a funny etymological thing. Going just by the words themselves, if you asked me to guess which was which, I'd say they should be reversed -- "vegetarian" seems to clearly imply "eats a diet made up of

5-8 times a year is a lot. You were really getting a cold every other month? I feel like 1-3 times a year is much more realistic. For me, that’s a small price to pay for social activity.

I'm not sure why SMR would save costs on lower capacity drives but not higher capacity drives. It may be a technical reason, but I'd also find a corporate-strategic reason to be plausible -- i.e., they were like, any consumers tha
