My kids are in the middle of their finals week. What a mess. Universities know nothing, Canvas claims to be in a "scheduled maintenance", and one Prof claims to "not have any copies of material offline" which seems pretty negligent. Sounds like one section of a popular class will be doing paper exams while other sections had Canvas-based "half points for 2nd attempt"-type exams earlier today. How soon before names & grades appear in data dumps?

This would be like TurboTax "scheduling maintenance" on April 14th in the US.

“Snow Leopard”, the original OSX release that focused under the hood, returns. I’m glad to hear it.

Low-level programming, dealing with hardware registers, is so often unsigned that I use unsigned everywhere I don't need negative numbers. Youtube going 64-bit was inevitable, but overflowing 2^31 should not have been one of them. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/12/gangn...

One bit from this post was on taking notes. I’ve purchased several nice notebooks (moleskine, Baron Fig, etc) to use but I always hate how jumbled my commonplace notes got and I’d quit. Most of these notebooks are 25% completed.

I bought a reMarkable 2 earlier this year and have loved it. I have a notebook per subject and I can append to each without carrying multiple paper notebooks or getting upset by the lack of organization in a single commonplace notebook.

If you like paper but hate disorganization, and have the disposable income, give it or another eInk tablet a try.
