Maybe it's terrible, but when I hear something like "GoSojourn" I think, Ah, VC money! Let's see how subsidized this is....

What, all 12 of them? More seriously, I don't think they're requiring exclusivity.

slightly off topic, but since streaming was mentioned: it feels to me like there ought to be a way to share a streamed video with friends at, let's say, 1080p quality without having to run it on windows. I have fully adequate bandwidth

It seems like this whole discussion would work better with examples where people are willing to say "This is done well, and it has these benefits from having been done in this way"

Now, that said? I was homeschooled and so based on that experience: Follow what your kids are excited about and learn to nudge that into the learning experiences they need. When I was young, we did a lot of research projects about "kit

This can be okay as long as you're talking enough about your reading to make it clear that this isn't just you disappearing into a screen, it's Reading, the social activity that we all do, adults and children alike

I would think that the people who'd be great to consult would be a. homeschooling parents, the homeschooling community, academics who study homeschooling, or b. education professionals, particularly those doing studies of effectiveness

I also suspect that the high level of environmental certification the condo I live in has is not helping, because the ventilation is desperately inadequate.

Is there a public cloud VM using it that we could compare for price? My understanding of typical benchmarks is that there are a lot of snitty details that need to be matched up in order to do a cost-performance comparison.

I work at a very large tech company and my experience with names there leads me to disagree. * It is often most critical to differentiate between things that have similar functions. The relevant distinctions will not be clear by the time of

Let me just note that my beloved boomer parents did not find Discord easy to pick up quickly when the family tried to video chat. (My sainted mother installed Riot because I asked her to, and it's worked so far)

I'm pretty sure FB amplifies the posts of people who it wants to entice to use it more. It's certainly seemed to for me when I dropped back in after my usage falling off. Without data, it's just as easy to guess that people d

This is very cool! Does anyone have an instinct what kind of use of Jitsi you would have to have to make a more complicated infrastructure (I'm not saying containers, but maybe containers) cost-efficient? e: To be clear, I'm fully

Seattle public schools closed before the whole state, which is what you would expect. I think if the experts of evaluating these policies are saying that putting them in place without delay saved lives, it's probably unwise for all us

I use tiddlywiki's node server and markdown plugin (behind a yubikey auth setup with nginx). It means that the data is stored in markdown files in a folder (with accompanying blah.md.meta files tiddlywiki maintains) but I can still edi

On the other hand, the metaphor's a little weird because... If there are EZ-use fittings that simplify certain use cases, I, a construction-minded person who doesn't usually engage in plumbing, may decide to create something I wou

It seems relevant that it's decently easy with Mastodon 3.0 to move from one server to another, and the UX Just Works. Hard to imagine gmail doing the same. If I'm mad at Google there are a lot of factors stopping me from migratin

Unless you're trying to get AWS experience with a side project you'll actually use, in which case it's worth looking into -- people have gone whole hog and set things up to use a managed DB and everything.

I think that if you did use different corporate social media, you'd see that the different features encourage very different kinds of use. Instagram is the way it is, for instance, because even if what you want to post is a whinging pa

one thing you may yet learn in genetics is that it doesn't take pains to correspond to your social constructs. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1893020/
