Fear not. Teachers, even baby teachers early in their career, very quickly learn the utter emptiness of “evidence-based practices” and “research-supported high-impact instructional strategies.” I have honestly not met a single damned teache

I was curious to see if someone would mention this. I would play that game as a teenager for a day and then ragequit only to come back a week later. I hate-loved that game.

In order to become a history teacher, I had to get a master’s degree in education. I was required to take a minimum of five graduate-level history classes in the history department as part of it. I was transitioning from being a lawyer. Pro

I don’t think you’re viewing it quite correctly. Reasonableness standards usually exist in order to funnel legal compulsion into a narrower range than would exist without them. It can bracket out behavior that to the average, ordinary, eve

Bit much to say ESC research was “always” problematic. The notion that life begins at conception was not one that, e.g., St. Thomas Aquinas agreed with. Analyze the ethical issues using his views about life beginning with quickening and you

This is why I always make it a point to tell people how much I appreciate them and why (when I do, I mean). It can be awkward at first, but I’ve developed a good self-deprecation that lets me excuse myself for being gushy (“I might start cr

I was most intrigued by the “collect, use, and combine” language. Specifically, I didn’t see anything limiting them to combining only information they collect. So, what’s stopping them from purchasing additional data from data brokers to co

Right, it took me reading four or five entries before I started to notice that it was really not normal. And every single post is about an expensive new hardware purchase. Not just computers. Two motorcycles. A generator. Another generator.

This is awesome news. I have been trying to tinker with getting Ubuntu working on both an older Intel Mac and my M1, but it’s an almighty pain in the ass hardware-wise. And I ran across more than one person who felt it necessary to point ou

This is single-handedly the weirdest blog I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s post after post after post after post showing tens and tens of thousands of dollars equipment and… Nothing else. It’s like hardware porn. You get no sense of who this

Dunno but when I tried it and it spewed nonsense for a while I asked what had just happened Why does it send me all that text and it said I must be confused I haven’t asked it anything yet. So I did d it again and it spewed more text.

Honestly, my comment was going to be that this is the most emacs thing I’ve seen today, especially with other users, chiming in with 17 different options he could try. “I spend more time customizing my computer than using it."

I thought the same thing, so I went and looked at the paper, and unfortunately, the paper itself has some of these kind of speculative claims as well.

Not just materials science though. I’m a longtime reader of Derek Lowe’s In the Pipeline blog, and he often emphasizes the trickiness of lab work and lab techniques. But the model we have of science from elementary and high school doesn’t

Right. Dostoevsky was perfect on the human element. Tolstoy on the writing.

I don’t understand how people don’t like War and Peace , aside from its size and the weird discursive turns he takes in the appendices. I’ve read it three times and every time it’s a page-turner. So good. But Tolstoy was an infinitely bett
