Somehow, neither schools nor parents prepared us in any meaningful way for the hardest challenges in our lives. School curriculums are next to useless beyond basic reading/writing/counts.
Where is self sufficiency, team work, communication, taxes, relationships, understanding various addictions, understanding other people, good nutrition, savings and retirement, and of course having and raising kids?
I get they dont want to scare shit out of clueless young, its certainly easier to let them hit walls of life and see who can swim and who goes down. But, as a preparation for life, school is useless and I believe it shouldnt be. I would love to see teachers having doctor's or wall street salaries but be proper experts and psychologists, all of them. Thats the future of given nation.
I would much rather have school teach the more "rigid" of knowledge, and society teach the more fluid.
By having schools teach the very essence of society, you run the risk of it being hijacked by various ideologues or power hungry people. e.g. the whole sex ed debate in the US.
Those Casio watches are just amazing. I got legendary gw-5000u and it has become part of my body.
I'm wondering how much 30+ year are feeling like author of this post. I for sure do not want any device that I need to babysit.
For me anything bigger then 27' is just too big. I also stopped working with two monitors.
Main thing that was contributing to that is Cosmic desktop environment is has amazing defaults and adaptive scaling and if I need two displays just put window in second workspace.
Hell every non wordpress software I manage also gets bombarded by wordpress bots.(not really, I am stretching the term to refer to wordpress attack attempts for dramatic purpose. But that still ends up being about 99% of my personal site traffic)
This is amazing. I have to test it with my reverse engineering workflow. I don't know how many people use CC for RE but it is really good at it.
Also it is really good for writing SketchUp plugins in ruby. It one shots plugins that are in some versions better then commercial one you can buy online.
CC will change development landscape so much in next year. It is exciting and terrifying in same time.
Due to health issues, no updates to the Plugs and Sockets website are expected in the coming months. Email contact may also be affected.
For the time being, please do not send any material that might be interesting to add to the website.
Next year, I shall make a decision about the future of the collection and website. Wait and see.
