The better/real reason for not allowing calculators in certain classes is because doing these things mentally promotes healthy cognitive development. The same way that handwriting for taking notes provides better recall than writing the same thing with a keyboard.

No matter where the argument is going, turning everything into competition instead of ensuring a good environment for proper and healthy cognitive development is a bad thing.

The alternative is having a society full of hollowed out people, who understand nothing. It is no different with university, it is just a shame that so many of the students who take courses are deeply uninterested in the actual learning that they should be paying money there to attain, instead of some weird grotesque attempt at taking money from people without providing any service in return. (I would be as equally critical of faculty and courses today, as I would of students who do not care.)


I have no clue why you were getting voted down, but I agree. AI generated music isn't art. There's no soul in that, no experience.

It's actually more like the past 10 years? (Certainly was when I was in university back 8 years ago) Maybe longer.

But, I like to reference https://marktarver.com/professor.html on the state of education in the UK.


It isn't open source, it's source available. You have not licensed your source code, it is thus under copyright.

Please read the open source definition; https://opensource.org/osd.

There are other phrases that are usable, such as source first (in the case of FUTO licenses) or source available (when source is under copyright but is provided).

The engine, being actually MIT, is however open source.


Thank you for licensing your project. I appreciate your commitment to open source. More developers and people should be like you.


"open source" is not a trademark. Technically he can say whatever.


I don’t think Katdork is claiming the phrase “open source” is protected. He’s just saying it’s inaccurate in this case. Like claiming a fish has arms — the statement is legal, it’s just wrong.


I'm saying that words have meaning and that meaning should ideally not diluted. But, considering the developer licensed their project as MIT, I'm very happy.


Looks like MIT license has been added to the game now too.

Unfortunately no README.md


as a trans woman, the clotting risk of estrogen proportional to levels is always cited to me by medical professionals when speaking about hrt, the risks, ...

i've always found it kind of weird, like being told taking estrogen will cause "increased chance of breast cancer"; yeah, if you grow breasts, you will have more breast cells, more cell division, more chance for errors, no? but that's (at least partially) why i'm doing the whole thing to begin with...? :p

and then they skimp on the doses...

if this were statistically significant to such a degree that it truly mattered, women would not live longer than men on average. i feel like people get lost in the sheer stats of it


The underlying summary is interesting. In women (whether or not trans), the synthetics increase clotting risk more than the bioidenticals do; and, separately, oral dosing pathways increase clotting risk more than liver-bypassing pathways (patch, gel, etc). I'd like to see more women asked by their surgical team to switch to transdermal patches before surgery rather than asked to stop taking their hormones. Recovery will be worse with preventable hormone imbalances, after all.


and this is why i, personally, use searxng these days instead of google or duckduckgo


I don't really feel like I've lost any functionality, personally?

If I weren't using binary blobs in the firmware, I think I would have more trouble, but that is Canoeboot to my knowledge, not Libreboot. ^^


I am a trans woman, yes :o

(the user who posted my blog post is not me :p)


because the x280 and x270 are similar enough I didn't need to try very hard to get it to post or boot a live USB to further investigate (effectively acting as a decent template for me to work off of)

The console viewing itself was provided by `cbmem -1`, which I could run via a NixOS live USB with nixpkgs#coreboot-utils


sorry, I'll look into it


atom feed is no longer malformed, appears compliant. added summaries to each post
