This feels like the attention that shark attacks get--way more than it deserves. Somehow as a society we've decided that the correct number of deaths from airplanes is zero, but we're fine with thousands of people dying from other

This feels like Succession, but without the nepotism. Big egos, struggle for power, lots of money on the line.

Today's learning management systems are largely content management systems with grading. Make the case that your system will help learning, not just manage content better. That could include a better way to assess learning outcomes, en

It's not clear what is really different about your approach. You have courses, courses have chapters, chapters have content. Content can be text, videos, quizzes, etc. Moodle has courses. Courses have topics. Topics have content. Conte

Adobe's tools for creating flash games and animations were awesome. I haven't seen anything similar for developing the same content targeting modern HTML. It feels like a major regression for the internet.

Longer support is good. I hope schools don't see that 10 years of support as meaning that the Chromebooks they buy will have 10 years of useful life. My daughter has a 3-year old Chromebook issued by her high school that struggles to l

I promise that my carbon footprint is less than the virtue signalers in the media talking about climate action. I walk to work. I don’t air condition my home. I paid to have my home made energy efficient. But because I’m honest about my at

I'm convinced that global warming is a threat. But I'd rather watch the world burn than listen to people who fly around in private jets or own mega mansions tell a regular person like me what steps I need to take to cut my carbon

How do you replicate a literature review? Theoretical physics? A neuro case? Research that relies upon natural experiments? There are many types of research. Not all of them lend themselves to replication, but they can still contribute to o

I've seen lots of articles like these over the years. And yet, Docker persists. Perhaps working with the Linux internals is not the hard part of building a container ecosystem.

I noticed the same thing. Is "A LINK" is supposed to be a link to another resource? It sounds like place holder text. "Understanding the pros and cons of your options as a buyer or a seller if this circumstance arises is here

I entered incorrect values many times in the demo and it just proceeded with the pre-programmed lesson. The lesson seems quite linear, with no substantial opportunity to return to reteach principles that are greatly misunderstood. A real tu

The paragraph in the section, "What are passkeys?" tells me that they: are new, are easier, let me use biometrics, and are resistant to attacks. But, it doesn't tell me what passkeys actually are. Compare passkeys to traditio

3rd mentioned in the was a willingness to serve. Having grown up Mormon, I'd add a 4th that wasn't mentioned in the article: deference to authority. The Mormon church is a very hierarchal organization. Orders go from the top down.

This sounds similar to Walmart saying they'll stop taking Visa. Samsung would be dumb not to at least threaten moving away from Google, even if they had no intention to change. It's a negotiating tactic, one that has more teeth in

I'm by no means a perfect dad, but one thing I've done well is reading to my kinds. In the past 14 years, I've read to my kids almost every night. They both tested in the 99th percentile for reading comprehension and vocabula

I think we agree that you're doomed once you jump off the building, right? It might take a while to fall, but your future is set in stone...or concrete. There are people who argue that from a climate perspective, we are doomed. So what

Utah settlers took pride in making the "desert blossom as a rose" [1]. In new developments you can drive by lush green lawns, and see the natural, arid land on the lots right next to those lawns. It's going to take a massive

If you want to work at BYU, abstaining from coffee is a condition of employment. This goes for even for people who are not members of its sponsoring church. Just a few years ago, BYU almost lost its ROTC program because a non-LDS colonel di
