It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.
That's exactly how it works at many places. Students can only use a personal device if it's enrolled in the school's MDM, which grants them just as much control.
Anything except the 2nd to last one, which is, unfortunately, mandated by my employer's internal code style guidelines. 🫠
TIL that pluralistic.net is blocked on Facebook, and any links to it are automatically removed as "farming engagement" 
That's not entirely true. Practice is important, but homework actually has a negative impact on learning: https://hachyderm.io/@Impossible_PhD/112969358305278574
This may sound like a mess to you. But it was remarkably enjoyable to work in. Gone were the concerns of code duplication. Gone were the concerns of consistency. Gone were the concerns of extensibility. Code was written to serve a use, to touch as little of the area around it as possible, and to be easily replaceable. Our code was decoupled, because coupling it was simply harder.
Incredible
Agreed, unfortunately. I'm not even sure it supports defederation :/
It's good we have "Knewbies" in a sandbox when they start.
attention all companies: please stop making pet names for your employees, it's weird 
In my experience, the larger threadiverse instances have gradually collected the worst ex-redditors, who have brought the worst of reddit's culture. I'm unfortunately not surprised that lemmy.world has queerphobic mods, given how the users behave. 😕
my employer has decided to license an "AI RDBMS" that will dynamically rewrite our entire database schema and queries to allegedly produce incredible performance improvements out of thin air. It's obviously snake oil, but they're all in on it 🙄
I've been using Xubuntu for half a decade, zero regrets.
Jain’s team then built artificial-intelligence models that were able to stitch the microscope images together to reconstruct the whole sample in 3D.
The map is so large that most of it has yet to be manually checked, and it could still contain errors created by the process of stitching so many images together. “Hundreds of cells have been ‘proofread’, but that’s obviously a few per cent of the 50,000 cells in there,” says Jain.
Ah so it's not a real model, just an AI approximation.
The frontend is HTML only? Then I'd go with C# and ASP.NET Razor pages. Modern language with good DX, performant runtime, and server-side rendering.
