except (like it or not) students are in direct competition with each other. Unique assessments would be impossible to defend the first time a student claimed your "unfair" test cos…

honest q: what would it look like from your perspective if someone worked in entirely different tools and then only moved their finished work to google docs at the end?

you're missing out on the false positives though; catching 80% of cheaters might be acceptable but 20% false positives (not the same thing as 20% of the class) would not be accepta…

no, you multiply their result by .8 to account for the "uncertainty"! /s

Except the power imbalance: position, experience, social, etc. meant that the vast majority just took the zero and never complained or challenged the prof. Sounds like your typical…

this would be an incredibly tough play. We've seen few success stories, and even when the product is good building the business around them has often failed. Most of the consumer p…

but with 10x or 100x the chutzpah

it's notable that there is no talk about defining what exactly AGI is - or even spelling out the three letter acronym - because that doesn't serve his narative. He wants the genera…

He mayy be out front because he's the best PR face for this, but make no mistake there is massive collusion amongst all the players to inflte this bubble. Across MS, Oracle, AWS, O…

it's not just the cost of the vaccine roll-out though, you need test on your target demo and since these are healthy people the bar is very high. If the demographic (like males ove…

this seems highly unlikely. Almost all of the software we're discussing in this context has little or no resources behind it. No lawyers are going to sue an OSS developer because t…

Reductio ad Absurdum may be what you're thinking of, but Straw Man might also apply. Funny enough the responder didn't actually do what you said. They stated of the 600+ dependenci…

yeah, I typically start any substantial development work with getting things up to date so you're not building on something you'll find out is already broken when you do get around…

this seems to me to be trading one problem that might happen for one that is guaranteed: a very painful upgrade. Maybe you only do it once in a while but it will always suck.

>> and keeping them to well-known and trustworthy (security-wise) creators. The true threat here isn't the immediate dependency though, it's the recursive supply chain of dependenc…

what's the point of listing almost-but-not-all competing pronouns? How does that help someone respect their desired choice if "they're all good"?

I'm sick of people who cry "fire" but then follow up with "but, hey, I'm no fireman". WHAT is the alternative? What are you doing to realize it? We don't need anymore more speciali…

This is the Gavin Belson strategy to starve Pied Piper of distributed computing experts; nobody get's to work on his Signature Edition Box 3!

My observations (Canada, bigger city): The LP people you see (ie in "uniform") are often visible minorities, often women. They're positioned to remind you "we're watching!" not pur…

self-checkout at a grocery store is so maddening. There are enough edge cases (discounted items, multiples, lack of barcodes, special deals) to make it painful if you have anything…

IPOs are a really tough path, and can significantly alter the business. I'd hesitate to hold up the big one for this year as vindication for her entire approach. The vast majority …

struggling to create the organic interactions you had in-person? Here's a reomte process you can mandate and measure to ensure everyone is casually interacting in the correct, comp…

one line that is crossed is putting others at risk or pulling them into their actions. I can't think of many scenarios where I'd support involuntary commitment when it was just the…

a killer feature of Sheets is querying web-based databases for adhoc reporting. You can do this lots of ways including Excel, but sheets was early and makes it very easy. I've save…

I get what you're saying, and agree with lots of it, but most of the time things built in Excel are not for programmers, usually have no maintenance budgeted, and often are built b…
