Have been searching for a Bluetooth solution to switch my keyboard+mouse between multiple devices. Only found Logitech MX keys - pricey.

Maybe it could be implemented using Raspberry Pico? I think I found me a new side project!

but I take major issue with the implication that a music degree makes someone unqualified for a tech job

OP never said 'a tech job', it is implied it would make someone unqualified for a CISO job though. And as a general rule, I tend to agree.

Ode to the M1 3 years ago

Little known fact is that the M1 does not support nested virtualization. As a college professor I really miss that during Docker classes. Supposedly the M2 does. Can anyone confirm Docker works under Windows on Parallels?

I can tell you that in The Netherlands doctors could be (and still can be) fined up to €150.000 if they prescribed HCQ or Ivermectin.

I used Remirror, TipTap with React. They were both great but I needed to implement custom editing behavior and that's where they both fall flat. Building your own extensions is poorly documented, and oh, by the way now you will have to learn ProseMirror anyway. Which has a learning curve you don't need.

This even led to me dropping my project, maybe I need to revisit and check if docs improved now TipTap has funding.

Please consider my plea for a keeping a free tier for unfunded startups? Thanks.

Well, you can make almost any subject interesting if you do it right. In my experience it's mostly the teachers fault if students are bored.

That said, some students cannot be activated whatever your do. We're all people.

CS teacher here. This is my preferred way to teach stuff. Way easier to remember and understand knowledge if you know its origin story.

I'm a programmer who picked up video-editing 2 years ago, and I used DaVinci because it was free, but damn, these video editors are powerful beasts. And there's so much to learn.

You can even remote-control DaVinci from Python (if only there was a Javascript library available), and edit videos programmatically. Mind blown.

I first downloaded Slackware in June '93. I needed 13 diskettes. Installed it on my Compaq 386/SX 4Mb laptop, and spent the rest of the year learning myself Linux.

In November '93 I founded one of the first internet providers in The Netherlands, and I'm pretty certain my family was the first Dutch family that had always-on public internet from the home.

Also I might have been one of the first companies in the NL to run Linux in a business-critical environment.

Linux always kept me from running Windows on my desktop. Although I switched to the Mac in 2005 after big problems get multimedia And graphics to work reliably.

Without Linux my life would have been completely different. It allowed me to create a new future for myself. So I'm hugely grateful for its existence.
