  • Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?

    Jump

  • I don't ever use the start menu for anything. I can't be bothered to look through that mess.

    Instead I press the windows key and type the first few letters of whatever I need, unless it's already stickied to the bar. It's fewer key presses than clicking through the start menu. I suppose that still counts as opening the start menu, even if I don't use the actual menu structure.

    I also use the windows + arrow keys to toss windows around the multiple screens. It has a lot of other purposes, like creating extra desktops etc, which I admittedly never use.

    It's a useful button for sure, but it does get a little overwhelming when combined with shift ctrl or alt . I can't possibly remember all the uses, but I have the most commonly used on muscle memory.

  • TIL in the alphabet song, the note for the G is a G

    Jump

  • Thanks. There are a few minor details in the melody, but considering the harmony and rhythmic structure, it's really not coincidental why that note is there.

    In order to follow common practice theory and with that limited rhythm, there are very few ways in which that note would be any different.

  • I used "also" because it's describing the same note.

    The two songs have the same melody.

  • Coincidentally the 7th note of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is also 7 semitones from the root.

  • Hmm. I just tested it in Excel. "No fill" will make it transparent. White would cover the grid lines.

    So, I guess it's doable using a set of columns with identical colours. Calculating the values from a picture would also be possible - for a mad man.

  • The area under the guys face is blank. I'm not sure if it's possible to stack a transparent colour.

    Also the vertical sequence of colours is not the same through the horizontal axis. It could be done, but the right most girl would consist of completely different data than the first two people.

    It would be a lot easier to do in other ways.

  • Elon Musk loses fight with ex-Twitter staffer, must pay $600K

    Jump

  • It's interesting how most of Musk's wealth is in stock and such, when people start cashing out on it. What's his liquid wealth?

    I assume he's been wealthy for long enough that he's been able to cash out interest and dividends to make him a wealthy man, constantly accruing money simply by having money.

    Seeing him tank on everything he touches( bringing down the value), I have to wonder if there is a limit to his liquid funds. The world's richest poorest man or something.

    Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

  • Why Schools Are Racing to Ban Student Phones

    Jump

  • Social media is a problem for sure.

    Also, thank you for asking what schools are supposed to do.

    The problem is schools not managing to encouraging pupils towards learning.

    I know I've said this before, but the teachers curse is that nothing is taught until the pupil understands it themselves, and is willing to absorb the material put in front of them. Encouraging pupils to want to learn ought to be top priority for any school. Banning phones is a lost cause, because they're already lost at that point. They're bored, so they rock on the chair or fiddle with a phone. I seriously don't think that social media addiction is the core issue here. It's an issue for sure, but it's not what is keeping kids from learning. Boredom is.

    Regardless of technology, paying attention is entirely up to their own willingness to learn. Teachers should be feeding the desire to learn, not in a "fellow kids" kind of way, but by showing them why the curriculum is important to them.

    I totally acknowledge that there's no reason to have a phone in class and that social media is bad, but it's relevant not issue in teaching.

  • Why Schools Are Racing to Ban Student Phones

    Jump

  • Before phones, students were distracted by fidget toys, tamagochi, bubble gum, various collectibles, comic books, ordinary books, paper notes, drawing, pen twitching, etc.etc.

    Students always find ways to get distracted. Take away everything and they'll still be rocking on the chair.

    So if the purpose of banning distractions is to make students more attentive, well.. it's just not going to do that.

    Then there is online bullying. Has bullying actually increased or are we just seeing it more, because it's now documented? Banning phones in school won't stop it from happening outside school hours anyway.

    I'm not advocating for allowing phones in schools during lectures or anything, but it's pretty clear to me that an outright ban is an outdated solution that will only hide the issues instead of solving them.
