As an immigrant (I immigrated to Hong Kong)，I disagree when It comes to road safety. I believe that it's the responsibility of every driver to learn the differences when driving and until then practice safe defensive driving. I agree w

Why would the university not allow coed dorm assignments like that or have rules about relationship overnights in the dorm. Kids going to college are adults why should those restrictions be there in the first place? If you treat students li

In my neck of the woods (HK), HDD price pretty much doubled in the last 2 months. I bought 22TB Toshiba 1 year ago at 30% less than what they cost now.

For sure, the author simplified things for the article. Anyway, in the case of VHS, they were indeed based on the 35mm scan but then had additional magenta added (as well as pan and scan to change the aspect ratio). The author is not wrong
127.
by sersi 11mo ago
Famously CRT TVs didn't show as much magenta so in the 90s home VHS releases compensated by cranking up the magenta so that it would be shown correctly on the TVs of the time. It was a documented practice at the time. So, yes the VHS

The main reason they are not shared as widely is that there's a bit of conflict within the community between those that really want to stay under the radar and not risk being targeted by copyright owners (and so try to keep things very

And as someone who is part of those conservation communities that scan 35mm with donations to keep the existing look, a lot of the people doing those projects are aware of this. They do some color adjustment to compensate for print fading,

I really hate it too especially when I want to search something specifically within the French context and I end up getting pages translated from Englsh to French and waste my time on irrelevant content.

Yes, public schools in Asian countries tend to be very problematic to say the least. New Zealand, Australia and Europe tend to have vastly better schools when it comes to respecting the child's need to play. I do see the value of thing

My son goes to an AMI accredited school with AMI accredited teachers only. In general parents in elementary rave about the school. However, we did talk to a few parents whose kids are in elementary that had the same problem with mathematics

That makes complete sense. We live in HK and here most kindergarten will have an interview before starting school either at 3 or 4 years old. We applied to a play-based school and to a Montessori school and our son was admitted to both but

That's actually my biggest pet peeve with Montessori and I say that as a father whose son goes to a Montessori school. Is it true that younger children have a harder time making the distinction than older children? Yes that's true

One factor that has been studied has having a major impact on quality especially in younger years is teacher to student ratio, the less student per teacher, the better the quality. It usually also helps with retention :). I do think that re

by sersi 1y ago
The thing is Montessori doesn't mean anything. Any school can call themselves Montessori. So it all depends on actual accreditation. Some accreditations are also not worth the paper they're printed on (like NAMC). AMI and AMS are

If any apple app uses a private api then that api should be made public and documented. Having private apis is unfair competition and bad practice

I sold my synology for an AOOStar WTR Max. It arrived with an issue (usb4 port didn't work) but replacement was quick and easy. So far, I'm rather happy. Really hesitated with Minisforum.

Not OP, I went back and forth about having containers etc on my NAS. I can of course have a separate server to do it (and did that) but a) it increases energy cost b) accessing storage over smb/nfs is not as fast and can lead to perfor

Making cookies or basic pound cakes from scratch is trivial. You take a scale, you follow the instructions done. For some cakes it's slightly more complicated when you need to do steps like separating egg whites from egg yolks, whippin
