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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Apple’s Mistake 5 years ago

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?

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.

HomePod Mini 6 years ago

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

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.

Epic here is not telling the truth. Apple has revoked their developer license which revoked the Sign In with Apple certificates. Apple probably sent them a courtesy notice about it but epic is just spinning it as if Apple is disabling their Sign In with Apple capabilities. This just looks bad on Epic.

The Light Phone 7 years ago

Any reason why the screen is so small? If it were larger and offered one handed access to keyboard that would be a huge plus instead of having to rotate the phone to type.

How do you type numbers you have to call? Do you rotate them phone and type the numbers?

What about music? The thing that people use the phones most for other than calls and messages would be music, considering the fact that there aren’t that many dedicated music players around a phone without a music player makes a lot less sense

iPhone X 9 years ago

This is exactly what the hand off feature in iOS is about, granted it does not work across all apps but they have done some great improvements with iOS 11 and hopefully will keep improving upon it in the future

Since its a small team and its your first app just a PWA is gonna take you a long way while trying to understand product market fit and simply to see if users like your product. Case in point checkout out Missive email app, everything is html/css (no frameworks) and it performs really well on all platforms (sometimes even better than react native), i think they're a 2 person team
