G1000s are great, but it's disappointing that just about everything else has remained basically unchanged on GA aircraft for the last 30+ years. I hope that we will see some actual innovation in GA engines, airframes, and fuels soon. Fuels might be the most promising for the near-term.

I am interested to know whether or not the screws into the carbon hull, for example the monitor mount, might've had anything to do with the likely implosion. I have trouble imagining it being something so small, but I don't believe a whole lot of engineering rigor went into the design and build of this sub.

At Coding Rooms, we're building the first virtual classroom for teaching programming. Our customers are teachers, professors, and tutors from around the world who use Coding Rooms to deliver and manage their programming lessons online and in-person. Our problem domain means that we work on online IDEs, Docker infrastructure for running student code, and solutions for automatically assessing students' code.

Our stack:

* Go

* Docker

* TypeScript

* Hasura

* Angular

* AWS/ECS/GCP

* MySQL & PostgreSQL

I can certainly vouch for you and your team's commitment to that level of perfection and use of feedback even during what I can only imagine was a truly unprecedented year of usage. The majority of our (relatively few) issues were small UI issues that confused students and instructors, but with the new beta of the pre-built UI I believe those have been addressed! Some of those less well documented patches have also been really useful in tuning performance for certain use cases!

It's also worth noting that we started by integrating Jitsi, then BigBlueButton, and finally settled with Daily.co because stability, UIs, and support were such huge issues for us with the other solutions. While Daily.co doesn't do everything perfectly, I have to say their coverage of edge cases and support has been a lifesaver scaling our product for schools.

This is a really brilliant project, and I love that it's open source! I'm certain that for tutoring, this is a much-needed self-hosting option! When it comes to schools, I'd be curious to know how it works in practice. Having supported a lot of schools in the past year using Coding Rooms with integrated Daily.co for remote learning, I have to say that the biggest challenges have always been related to just getting video to "work" with students. From the instructor's perspective, it's just so challenging to get 30 K-12 students on the same page with audio, video, input devices, and UIs -- not to mention stuff like just getting everyone signed in or using the right link. A system (perhaps hardware-included/based) that could do that would be ground-breaking for remote learning in my opinion. This is also the reason, in addition to school policies in some cases, that instructors feel like they have to stick with what they know in situations like this.

Since repl.it classroom is shutting down on Jan 31, 2021, I needed a way to retrieve my assignments, submissions, and auto-grading test cases so I built a Chrome and Firefox extension to do it for all my courses in one click. Using the extension, you can get all your data as a single JSON file. I've made the extension completely free and it doesn't talk to any servers or send analytics data (as I am often touchy about browser extensions doing this...). It doesn't take more than 5-15mins to run, depending on how much data you have and it has a real-time progress bar to communicate how much data is left to get.

For Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/replit-classr...

If you're looking for an alternative to repl.it classroom, please check out https://codingrooms.com/ and you can also send us your export file and we'll import all your data (with full feature parity) within 24-hours. (I'm also the creator of Coding Rooms)

This free A$AP Learn Go course is meant to be a highly-accelerated open program that's best-suited for people with a bit of background in software engineering to quickly pick up Go, learn the essential best practices, and hit the ground running! After this course, you'll be able to build basic Go applications in addition to lightweight webservers, highly-concurrent programs, and reusable libraries in Go that you can share with other developers!
