I managed to get a few and so far am impressed. They are definitely on the chunky side but that probably comes with the durability
Being on the internet archive and being able to pick up from a restored backup are two very different things
nvidia drivers are pretty easy to install now that all of AI is trained on nvidia drivers on linux
I ran it for a while on my ultra 24 until I just installed linux on it. But it was interesting dipping my toe in the solaris world
Chromebooks are also pretty good if google sheets/docs would suffice for excel/word.
My son is in a co-op with around that number of kids, but that's total (through HS).
The co-op I was in 30 years ago was a bit smaller but sounds like it's still going strong (no clue how big it is these days though).
So there definitely are homeschooling co-ops around that size. I do wonder what the average size of a co-op is though
From those slides (I did have to open them via google, the direct link didn't seem to work):
Discussion
• Evidence from this study and others suggest that homeschoolers may not
be a socially isolated group
• Instead, homeschoolers in these samples seem to have peer networks
and social connections that arise in conventional and unconventional
social settings and they report being well-connected later in life
• It is important to note that although this study contributes to the
literature, it has methodological limitations (e.g. small sample, self-reports)
Dealing with adult problems shouldn't be something kids have to learn, as long as the problems scale with their development that's not a problem
Most of them can be turned into a vanilla linux laptop fairly easily, and even support custom coreboot firmware:
https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/That being said, it's also pretty easy to get a full linux shell and even install gui apps via flatpak or whatever.
If you haven't used something like i3/sway/awesomewm/hyprland on the linux side you won't know what you're missing.
While there are several apps to create custom keyboard commands, only yabai+skhd come close to what's available on linux, and it's not even that close tbh.
yabai is as close as I've seen, but yeah nothing close to awesomewm or even something like sawywm
In the data science/engineering world apache arrow is the bridge between languages, so you don't actually need to serialize into language specific structures which is really nice
My school just had an official cls file, so my initial setup was just to download the template. So if that's where you're coming from (the journals I submitted to also had official templates), it's really minimal setup.
Does PDM manage C/Fortran library dependencies? IIRC conda was the only solution for managing both native and python dependencies but I haven't really looked elsewhere.
With wheels and the manylinux specifications there's less of a usecase for that, but still could be useful
conda doesn't just package python libraries, but also the C/Fortran/other bits that the scipy stack often depended on. With the rise of binary wheels that is less needed though
I'm confused, in what world does running Linux require more RAM than Windows?
The suspend/hibernate on laptops isn't that great, but tbh I never had great results on windows either (macos is decent though).
And uptimes for desktop systems are similarly just limited by whenever there's a kernel update.
it does take a surprisingly long time for the device to download the content for offline use, but my only real complaint is that I can't self host the server side (it seems to do some ssl certificate pinning or something similar).
There are 100 GB BDXL flavors of M-Disc, but yeah definitely not enough for really large amounts of data but large enough to store a good chunk of my photos which is mostly what I'd want to keep around.
Videos would fill that up pretty quick though.
I doubt whatever plex would do could beat opus (unless it's already transcoding to opus)
With spark 4 defaulting to scala 2.13, that does move things in the right direction since the 2.13 -> 3 interop is possible
I don't really mind sbt, but we migrated off maven a while back for gradle for java projects. There are some crazy sbt build scripts but it's fairly easy to keep things sane, but maybe the fact that sbt builds can look so different is an issue.
I really like the simplicity of the com-lihaoyi ecosystem but I also enjoy cats/fs2 and friends on occasion.
What's crazy is that this hasn't happened before, waypoints that share a name isn't uncommon
An extension or integration with
https://mealie.io/ would be a neat thing have (we selfhost mealie but are still building out recipes).
If I don't have root on my device, is it really my device?
For reference I had to take several SAT subject tests to get into college ~20 years ago, the homeschooling co-op I was a part of did get accredited while I was attending so I think those tests weren't a requirement for other kids who went through an accredited co-op.
This is the classic problem solved by Bayes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZGCoVF3YvM there just aren't that many homeschooled people to provide a defense.
I'm another successful homeschooled-until-college adult, but homeschooling isn't that common now and it was even less popular when I was growing up.
EDIT: unless you were mentioning defense of homeschooling given they were homeschooled. I would assume most people on HN who were homeschooled had a decent education/homeschooling experience.
