This is huge news. Wonder why it hasn't reached the front page. Europe-first launch? Undescriptive title?

A very exciting project and, as a somewhat alienated university instructor I'll be spending time thinking about it's possible uses for me. A couple comments though. 1. 'Sell your class on Zoom' is a total turn-off for me

Syncthing is a nice alternative to Dropbox. If you use multiple computers at different locations, you could, say, use Syncthing to sync your KeepassXC database between your home computer and your phone, and between your phone and your work

This is a nice example of what a logician calls a false cause: your conclusion (definition of outrageous) isn't supported by your premise (how much you used to pay for kit). It's also a straw man, since I was talking about an OS d

I'm happy for OSM, that's great for you and in turn the community. But what about small open source projects? One-person projects where the idea of having several people working on securing legal non-profit status and then acquiri

The config files for this are well commented and explained. Great for someone new to emacs. Which I suppose is exactly who Mousemacs is for.

I've got a modular phone. Fairphone 3. I hesitated before buying it because almost all the reviews said something along the lines of it being heavy and twice as expensive as a non-modular equivalent. In the end I bought it, and I could

It should be noted that such a slick class has had the priviledge of being granted the kind of institutional suport which is extremely rare across higher education today, at least in the West. Being allocated the same module for 13 years? H

To add, I think another post by the same poster on this HN post proves the point that they're not dismissing individual parts, but rather disputing (or sorry but trolling) the article as a whole: > I think (hope, really) that gp is

I think you may be underestimating the fact that many people have been writing CSS for well over a decade now, and that it has evolved considerably since they first read a web development tutorial. If you've not been paying close atten

Can't recommend Andy Bell and Heydon Pickering's Everyday Layout enough. It's a wonderful resource for learning (and re-learning) contemporary best practice CSS. https://every-layout.dev/

This is really interesting. What's been your experience of platforms like Zoom and MS Teams for your learning - are they built to afford genuine accessibility?

Totally. It also assumes that students will pay the UK's vast fees for a course made up entirely of non-interactive video content. And that teachers will grant the university the right to redistribute their videos, which is their IP. H

The working model of management in at least certain high ranking UK universities is that it takes less time to run an online course than an in-person one, while maintaining the same standards. It's a convenient justification, if one no
