> try and prevent Yeah, good luck with that. If there's one thing remote teaching during covid taught me it's that you can't stop someone from cheating during an online assessment.
I was seriously considering an m3 pro for the space black color until I confirmed it wasn't passively cooled. An extra monitor would be nice at work but the air is just too great as a laptop.
Same here. 15 pro max and all is smooth sailing. Worst I had it was tethered to a laptop running zoom and a pc running another zoom with the phone charging. It had to stop charging at 80% for thermal protection. When…
You and I have been living under a lint-free rock, apparently.
Everything here is accurate. I still chose an EV because I can deal with the caveats, but this helps clarify to me why others wouldn't want to bother. This doesn't even mention access to charging; much easier for…
Never Combine and Only Combine when Full. Two missing features that were literally keeping me from upgrading to 11.
The X1 Nano is my dream device with the form factor, keyboard, trackpoint, and 16:10 hd+ ips display all rolled into an incredibly portable package. I used mine from gen 1 release until this summer. I now have an m2…
Taught me not to open Evil Urns in the Crystalline Passage without proper preparation. >:(
Found this out the hard way with Changeling (1980) and Changeling (2008).
I regularly transition from Thinkpad/laptop and 60-75% standard boards to a 60% split Ultimate Hacking Keyboard, 40% ortholinear planck, and split planck (Let's Split). The only thing that ever messed me up was using…
Not to mention the "old 'bento box' models where the screen release lock also allows you to lift up the keyboard to access all of the internals." https://imgur.com/a/sbMiIRG…
>I can't really stay productive on anything less than 15". Agreed. Without a dock/external monitor 13" and 14" are really not the sizes one should focus on for productivity, except in short bursts. 16:10 really makes an…
I've been able to make the adjustment by buying something with a slightly larger display. A 13" 16:10 display is comparable to 14" 16:9. At 1080p/1200p you lose some vertical pixels and a very tiny amount of physical…
Here, here! I love Xubuntu. Of all the lighter flavors like Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Mint/xfce, Xubuntu has been the one I had the best experience setting up for others on old thinkpads. And lately my go-to distro.
Oof! 16:10 display in a 13" chassis is tough to beat. Those extra vertical pixels make coding on it that much nicer. Way to go Dell! If only I could get 16:10 in a ThinkPad; I'm a sucker for their keyboards and…
I'm under 35 and consider myself very 'digitally native'. It wasn't until I helped my 19 year old niece set up her laptop that I realized exactly the same thing. They're fine with youtube and spotify from a tablet or…
I'm pretty sure covid-19 doesn't read Hacker News.
It is institution-dependent, and a bit odd. I believe the American Psychological Association have advocated for this. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2014/07-08/sd
The payoff is indeed learning the intuition, but also learning how to prove things and learning how to learn math. The content itself is only as important as whatever field you're in, or whatever application you're…
Oof! This is where I am with teaching post-secondary at a non-research institution in California. 6 weeks of Winter and 6 weeks of summer off, with added pay to teach those intercessions? Scheduling classes so I get…
I think of a little maze for the rats to find the cheddar, which they endlessly repeat just to get more meaningless rewards while never being able to escape the maze. What you describe sounds more like a hamster wheel.…
I think amateur in this case refers to non-professional / research mathematician with a PhD working at a University or a Research Institute. You still need to have some serious math chops to get this kind of result, it…
It's like the definition of set defined here should really be a subset, and the definition of space should be a set. Maybe just say a set is any collection of objects?
I really hate using esc in its default position so I always map caps lock to esc. Mapping caps lock to ctrl seems so much more useful; I had no idea ^[ is the same thing.
These professionals in several industries paid handsomely for the Adaptive keys on the 2nd generation Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. So much so that Lenovo had to remove adaptive keys for the next iterations.
