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

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)

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.

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.

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.

Archival Storage 1 year ago

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 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.

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.
