For my personal projects I somehow ended up with git being on a OneDrive synced folder - carries over the general changes, then explicitly commit and push to get it to GitHub etc.

Wow still has a lot of achievement/reputation(grind) related cosmetics.

But yeh, it’s a shame that when you see a cool/unique looking mout etc that you now assume it’s paid by default.

Yeh, I dislike them, but in situations like this, would probably look at using one.

I avoid the ones where you buy from a user. (Can’t remember which ones I have used, don’t use them often)

Can you not get it from a key reseller? As long as your buying it above the minimum sale price it’s probably legit.

Only if the phone is thicker. Having optical zoom is awesome.

In that case, the entire windows ecosystem collapses when Microsoft messes up windows defender… at least if its spread out it hurts less people

Oh, ok, that’s annoying then. One of those cases where it feels like the person putting the course together has never actually interacted with children?

Is the fact that C# produced executables also a problem? With python you can ‘protect’ non lab computers at the school by just not installing the python runtime on them. Teach them c# and I guarantee they will be making executables to cause trouble.

Generally agree with you that teachers should be able to choose at least one of the languages to teach. basic web dev stuff is probably pretty useful to them though if it includes JavaScript?

I leant from scratch as my first programming language in year 12.

They tried to teach OOP in year 13, but I didn’t really get it until university.

This was years ago at this point, I think they introduced the programming GCSE the year after I did my A-Levels.

A scripting language like python is the ideal language to start with because you can JUST learn the programming bit without worrying about OOP, project structures, compiling etc.

Lots of us have the experience of being the kid in that situation though. I learnt python in secondary school.

I learnt to program in python (in year 12). It was pretty good:

• less intimidating than the languages full of braces/brackets.
• as it’s also a scripting language, you can ignore OOP and just write code.
• has lots of kid friendly drawing libraries (tortoise.py anyone?) so they can make things they can see on screen etc

PHP is native in Linux then?

How is that different to something like powershell?

It may be a little late for this year (depends where you are I guess) but runner beans require little space as you run them up some kind of DIY tripod and give you loads of beans later in the year.

They are meant to be perennials (unreliable in my experience!) but I normally grow from seed every year

I preferred when it was a full squared stripe instead of trying to round the edges. Own it if your going to do that.

(As previously mentioned, it allows them to have some of the best phone cameras and let it sit flat on a table)

They are dropping the Nokia brand then?

What was the actual issue with the insect hotel one?

Are the winners chosen by prusa or just on public votes?

Either way, I’m not sure that they should have to moderate all the entries, just the ones that win (within reason)

I love my prusa mini, but if your using it for practical stuff, the size of it’s build area can be limiting.

Buying online is probably easiest.

I can’t speak about the printer choices (I have a prusa mini), but I can talk a little about miniature printing.

At the level of detail you probably want, filament dryness is vital. Damp filament strings loads and generally doesn’t print cleanly, losing you all the detail.

When you start off, you should be fine as long as you put your spools back in their bag with the dessicant pouches (could be worth buying more). But once you can, either making/getting a dry box or buying a filament dryer is probably worth it.

Looking it up, it doesn’t sound like it. Looks to be planned for later this month.

My understanding is that they are making the economy harder and completely removing the government subsidies that small cities get that make them absurdly easy. Other changes include making utility exports less lucrative and roads etc more expensive.
