Certainly possible. But, in the US consider that Google and "one-to-one" Chromebooks are generally dominating and the curriculum more or less requires extensions and setting. As an example, my kids try to do school work on one of

I am in education and speak to others at the (US) national level on a near-daily basis. This doesn't compete with Chromebooks in schools at all. - Chromebooks in EDU cost approximately $290 (+- $10) per unit. - The Neo costs $499 per u

Three things come to mind, up front: - Steve Jobs wouldn't have personally donated $1 million to the Trump campaign. - Steve Jobs probably wouldn't have presented a gold bar to Trump. - Steve Jobs would have been better at manipul

Like the places where people welcome deregulation and jobs? Not trying to sound like a jerk but there’s plenty of places in the US where people welcome stuff like coal mines and polluting factories. If the factories have to be somewhere and

To me, this seems logical, in a sense. As a human who grew up during the Cold War, nuclear conflict is horrifying. From an AI standpoint, a nuclear strike likely has several benefits: - It reduces friendly casualties and probably overall en

Depends on the audience. If it's entrenched enterprise business software? Probably. Generally, I'd avoid using legacy DotNet and Windows servers for anything I care about. But the reality is that you often can't, outside of t

My experience was very similar to yours. I was definitely not prodigious. I was slightly gifted, for the most part, and exceptionally gifted in other non-notable ways. I think one thing that hurt me, in particular, is that I repeatedly got

This isn't true at all, based on my experiences. Contemporary 386s were kind of slow, I guess, but these programs did not chug on a 486. I spent tons and tons of time in Excel and Access and writing VB/VBScript/macros.

No, I'm more tired of the tech apathy and lack of motivation and desire to improve. It's very draining and adds additional load onto the rest of us. I've worked in a number of other fields, some pretty crappy. Nothing has kep
