I work with school data, I've worked with University, high school and primary school data. it is indeed all bullshit I'm large part because test scores are just noise and behaviours metrics are subjective and non standard.

I've never been able to develop a model with any predictive capacity whatsoever at all. Moreover, visualisations only ever show correlation and often do more harm than good as staff assume their actions are causing improvement when typically advantaged students simply take advantage of more activities etc.

The post above is certainly more insightful than Elon musk's opinion and this is coming from somebody who works with this type of data.

Again, I wouldn't suggest pulling it all apart. I would look deeply into the problem but this is really not the worst thing they've done.

I think this combined with the solution provided in this comment Will be the most robust approach and solve all your problems.

That's what I would do

To be clear, historic English common law principles may not be as persuasive or binding to US judicial findings. However, the US absolutely is a Common Law jurisdiction, see eg ^1

Common laws is dynamic, subject to interpretation and serves often to fill gaps in legislation.

Common Law is simply a principle that similar judicial findings are binding for future cases. Whilst US, UK, South Africa, Canada etc. Are all common law countries, the application and interpretation of common law is by no means consistend and the US has diverged the furthest from the English tradition.

So whilst a traditional common law principle may be alive in law, it may also have been modified by a combination of contemporary judicial findings and legislative intervention.

I left a comment before but I thought I'd address the concerns around modal editing. It's not as hard as it seems, once you wrap your head around hjkl you'll be fine.

Use Lazyvim to get started and install the vim plugin in vscode. Try it qutebrowser too you won't look back honestly.

Consider helix too, it works out of the box but the keys are slightly different to Vim which makes it challenging for me.

Neovim, Emacs, Helix and VSCode.

Zed has been fun.

VsCode and Pycharm are just too slow for me. You need a very fast machine with a lot of RAM.

With Arch pacman -Syu will do it for you. Generally you are encouraged to stick with the version in the repositories.

You can install things from source by downloading the source code, building it (eg. gcc code.c or cargo build) and then copying the binary somewhere.

Typically if you were going to install things from Source, you would write a pkgbuild for it and that would integrate it with pacman so you have a centralised manager of everything that you have installed to simplify updates and removal and conflicts etc.

Doing this for small packages is pretty trivial and sometimes necessary. For a large package like KDE plasma It is a very large undertaking and you would never do it in practise.

The maintainers package the desktop environment with a pkgbuild, test it, And then upload it so that you can use it.

Also note that when the arch maintainers do package that software they compile it into a binary so you just have to download it. You don't also have to build it.

Mate is really nice, I was always a fan. (Although XFCE is nice too). However, I dont believe it has support for Wayland yet?

I think LXDE has Wayland now but I haven't tried it.

This is based on my experience teaching at university, Your mileage may vary. This is what I found to work the best for first year students.

I really like Void. ZFS support is quite good (btrfs is better nowadays though so not a big deal) and it's a lot more BSD like which is very nice from a simplicity perspective. The documentation is also very good.

Runit boots very fast and is quite simple too.

Packages are less recent though and I've had pain with some things (eg some QT stuff, Studio and some other misc packages. Neovim + Jupyter / podman solved this for me though)

It is actually quite bad to use. If for whatever reason I needed a commercial OS I'd have to use MacOS at this stage.

Microsoft has really dropped the ball in terms of quality.

Nah man, you just download an ISO and press next on the install screen.

I didn't install it for my family, my siblings did and they are labourers. If something went wrong they might ask me but it's been 8 years and I've never had to touch any of the family computers. However, they are only used to browse the web, so not much to go wrong.

I had to do a lot more maintenance on Windows a decade ago when they used excel for the family business. That was why they switched to Linux, apple sheets with MacOS was vastly more stable but Mac was $$$$, Linux was the better compromise.

People like to simp for M$ but for stability and simplicity, Linux is vastly simpler for a home user.

I can't comment on enterprise use, there seems to be a lot of love for Microsoft Group Policies and VMWare among IT professionals, I dont like it but it must be good -- not my area.

Endeavour OS. It may be a bit more hands on than something like Ubuntu/Fedora but there are ways less abstractions, better document and community support that makes it simpler over all.

Pick up a note-taking application like Joplin or something and write down solutions to problems and you'll be fine.

I'd recommend against Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint etc. tbh, they are simpler on the surface but there are no ing parts that make it more complex when things break.

Play around with distrobox and docker too, that makes a lot of stuff easier.

I enjoyed Graphene but I had to go back to stock pixel because it was noticeably slower.

I don't know why and I don't know if that is still the case.

Everything worked flawlessly though, very impressive. If ever I buy a new phone I will be using it again. The only limitation, for me, was performance.

However, I try to use my laptop for everything I do, just gym/job and the dreaded occasional phone call.

Absolutely the best way to learn though. The number of places I've walked into that had no clue about containers or even a vpc and thought Google drive was an API is too damn high.

I don't, I'm not sure if I'm in the minority. I just plug in my laptop or cast my phone (jellyfin or any other misc streaming service).

Informative post, thanks. I think a boxplot would have worked better here.

Mobile offline sync is a lost cause. The dev environment, even on Android, is so hostile you'll never get a good experience.

Joplin comes close, but it's still extremely unreliable and I've had many dropped notes. It also takes hours to sync a large corpus.

I wrote my own web app using Axum and flask that I use. Check out dokuwiki as well.

Oh good to know.

It used to be awful but I'm glad to hear it's improving.
