This is so cool! Congrats to the team!
Err why can’t there be weekly monitored exams in class?
This approach does not really solve the core issue. In practice, students often do poorly when evaluation is concentrated in one end of term exam. It also pushes many students to cram at the end of the term instead of learning steadily.
A better approach is to rethink what we assess and how we assess it. Research shows that the design of assessments plays an important role in academic integrity. Assignments that require original thinking and regular engagement can reduce incentives to cheat and improve learning outcomes.

I did not even know it was possible to operate on a fetus. Its insane how far we have come. Very promising results!

I’m a mid/senior software engineer (~7 YOE) trying to move into applied research in AI/robotics. No PhDIf you’ve hired for research engineer / applied scientist / robotics roles:What differentiates a strong non-PhD candidate from "Smart SWE who likes ML"?Which artifacts are most convincing (reproducing papers, open source contributions, working on real-world systems, conference workshop paper,...
Ungrateful it seems lol. Most of these products are acquisitions.
The author just finds the process of ordering complicated because they do not know how to. I think there is opportunity here to make selecting the drink of your choice a better experience. There might also be space here for coffee discovery or exploration for the customer.
Love Kerala, highly underrated tourist destination IMHO compared to the more traditional Indian destinations.
But you pay money to buy a book and read it.
Web app developers which I also used to be once upon a time seem to some how miss always miss the point that making a web app and having them run on the desktop is not the same as having them run on a mobile device. The constraints for power consumption, memory usage and cpu time simply don’t apply on a desktop/laptop sized machine. It’s very easy to have a browser bee the biggest resource hog on a laptop if you have more than 5-6 tabs open with some big apps. Thats what these native mobile dev bashers seem to never get.

As an engineer working in a large organization, handling multiple projects with many different cross functional teams, what are some ways that could help with managing all the different conversations, asks, followups etc.I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of items to keep track off, I was wondering if there was a system that has worked for others in this situation.
Work life is most certainly a game. Not life in general.
I’ve been writing mobile apps since 2013. Cross Platform UI is a myth. Just use a framework and language you are familiar or comfortable with. I prefer native so I just stick to that. You are sure to be most productive in languages you are familiar with rather than any new/old cross platform UI framework.
Just be cognizant of the fact that all of them have trade offs.
I doubt that it is the worst form of journalism, Lots of people on social media eat this kind of stuff up. Clickbait journalism but it gets eyeballs and likes.
Value of this vs having mock interviews with someone who works/worked at said company and has interviewed candidates is very very minimal. There isn’t much incentive here whether the interview is anonymized or not.
You would be better off providing a service where candidates can simply talk to people who have successfully gone through the interview process for similar roles recently or vice versa.
He also suffers from psoriasis and I’m sure all this drama must be very stressful for him. Still one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game. Hands down greatest ever left handed golfer.

Building reactnative apps is time consuming because of the library and it’s dependencies. Native compile times are much faster.
But isn't apple just hashing the image and then matching it with the CSAN database on the cloud? Thats how the feature works no?
Doesn't Voice Over do that?

What are the best books or resources for someone who wants to get started writing code for and learning about ARM architecture microprocessors?
Your comments about backward compatibility is not at all true. Even today making a simple podcasting app and keeping a crash free rate of over 99% is very very hard. Even while using the latest AndroidX libraries. And all the shiny new data modelling patterns that they seem to release every year. There are fundamental bugs in the implementation of the Fragment which is one of the most basic components of the Android Framework.
Apart from the article, I am pretty sure a lot of the arguments against the AppStore would disappear if Apple just paid more to the developers and reduced it's cut. I hope they find a good middle ground, we definitely need an App Store for the majority of the users out there, something that is relatively safe and allows for massive distribution but also keeps out a lot of malicious actors (its not perfect but its better than a lot of other options). It would be nice if developers also got paid a lot more.
It is so far behind! It can't even handle social login reliably.
100%. Their existing SDKs are so broken! I don't understand how they can ignore fundamental issues that absolutely make it impossible to use the SDK.
How was the sound quality though? I don’t care much for the smart assistant features but would definitely consider getting it for good sound quality
Honda has left F1 5 times in the past. This is nothing new. They just seem to have different reasons every time!
I don’t think what epic says here is entirely true. Apple said that they were going to remove / revoke Epic’S developer account which would probably revoke the certificates for Sign In with Apple as a result Apple would have emailed them about it. I think epic is just spinning it to suit their narrative. You wouldn’t want apps on the App Store with expired certificates to be able to use login and registration systems.
