    Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??

    Jump

  • Yes. Look up LOGO.

  • When washing, should I turn garments inside out?

    Jump

  • I've been washing clothes for many decades and although I was also taught to turn some clothes inside out, I've never noticed any difference if I didn't and these days I'll often wash with them oriented normally, mainly because that's how I prefer to hang them in the cupboard or fold them into drawers and turning them when wet or after taking them off the line or out of the drier makes the whole process even more tedious than it already is.

  • On a positive note, a Dev responded to that post indicating that the behaviour of the platform is being reviewed.

    I just pick it off. Skin csncer

    Jump

  • Skin cancer is like an iceberg, what's under the skin is what will kill you. Go and see your doctor.

  • What are your thoughs about YouTube clickbait?

    Jump

  • Between the clickbait, YouTube "enhancements", exploding AI slop videos and the atrocious search facility, the platform is rapidly becoming completely unusable for finding relevant information when you're looking for answers.

    As an entertainment platform it's forcing creators to make long form content and making viewers sit through more and more low quality content.

    It's evolving, but I'm pretty sure it's heading towards extinction, rather than greatness.

    Attaching one's name to an astronomical survey likely buys immortality beyond the heat-death of the Earth

    Jump

  • Unlikely.

    You underestimate the size of the Universe. There's 8 billion people on Earth, there's about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, and between 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

  • I hate how Apples + Googles Prinz services are fucking my Printer, yet CUPS does it right.

    Jump

  • How would you suggest I respond in the future?

    We have a person, claiming that CUPS doesn't work and they now uninstall it on every installation.

    There is no context, no data, no information that suggests what the issue is, what they tried, when this occurred, on which platform, under which conditions.

    In other words, the user was essentially saying "CUPS sux".

    Having used Linux as my main system for over 25 years, that sentiment did not match my own experience, does not help anyone, not me, not the user and not the OP who was trying to solve a problem, let alone anyone else reading along.

    I responded accordingly.

    Jump

  • This has not been my experience .. at .. all.

    Perhaps it would be helpful to discover what exactly doesn't work for you and fix that, rather than remove CUPS because one time it didn't work for you seven years ago.

  • I hate how Apples + Googles Prinz services are fucking my Printer, yet CUPS does it right.

    Jump

  • You could print to CUPS from the other devices and potentially bypass all those shenanigans.

    Also, CUPS has a PDF printer which saves you from even heating up your printer at all .. I haven't had a printer in my life for over 25 years.

  • Docker shared folder question

    Jump

  • It uses a security feature of Linux called cgroups or control groups to limit access to resources at a kernel level.

    It's used all over the place, including as the basis of Docker.
