That wasn't a shitpost. I've spent my life teaching, and a good part of my work has been trying to undo the damage done by teachers who say things like "this is wrong, what's the matter with you". I became a teacher

I've been teaching for over 20 years, and I've loved it. One of my biggest frustrations over the years, though, has been this notion that good teaching can't be taught. There's this notion that you have to be born a teac

As an educator, I appreciate the decision to bundle libraries such as PyGame, Matplotlib, etc with the editor. Although it's important for new coders to learn how to install libraries, it doesn't need to be one of the first things

I've been a high school math and science teacher most of my life, but I've also been a programmer on the side all my life. I few years ago I wrote a Python book that's doing well, so I'm slowly transitioning away from cl

Where are you at, if you don't mind my asking? I'm in Sitka, and I'm always curious to see people from the far northwest on HN. I did the Klondike relay a few times in the mid 2000s, and I really miss getting up that way. I h

It's not quite as simple as that. Around here, clans have ownership of stories and artifacts. But not all stories are held privately. Some are very public, and are published in books and are regularly rewritten, retold, and reillustrat

Thanks for sharing that. I live in Alaska, and we have a lot of salmon and halibut. I'm going to try that approach with halibut. It's similar to what we do, but I'm curious to see what scoring the fish and putting the rub ins

Yes, often times it seems "quick" means "I've done this recipe 10 times so it's quick for me, here's how quick I can do it!"

I live in southeast Alaska, and it's a pretty interesting place to live culturally. Alaska Native people were hurt deeply by contact with outsiders. For those unfamiliar with the history, it was a series of events. First, contact broug

I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew Smith (the author of this article) at PyCon a few weeks ago. He was really interesting to talk to. He said he was interviewing one of the people who walked on the moon a while back. The guy stepped out o

This article was fascinating. It never mentioned pay, though. Do these people get paid really well after all this specialized training, and commitment?

I've bounced between mac, windows, and linux throughout my life. Each has been good for a time, and becoming familiar with each has helped me understand the others better. I recently started using a mac again for the first time in year

This is a really interesting example for comparison. I think I could come up with a clear explanation of which data is kept, and for what purposes. A compliant user can have all of their data deleted upon request, with reasonable "are

In 2008, the AK PFD hit its all time high of $2069, and we got an "Alaska Resource Rebate" of $1200. Every family in the state who qualified got $3269 per person. In large families, that was a windfall. That said, I think that was

We get about $1000/year, and the cost of living here is higher than just about any other state. You can't really compare the Alaska PFD to a UBI.

Your posts are pretty interesting. If you don't mind a couple questions: - What range of services do you offer? Do you take care of broken bones? Long-term illnesses? What kinds of things do you refer people to a full hospital for? - A

My son is 7, and he's been saying that for about 4 years now. :) It's become a bad dad joke. He'll ask me to look up some origami, and I'll go to HN. But seriously, he's gotten used to me sharing really interesting

I'm not in your market, but your product looks pretty interesting. The free trial is fairly prominent on your home page. On your pricing page, all of the free trial links are below the fold for me: https://imgur.com/a&#
