At a Loss for Words: A flawed idea is teaching kids to be poor readers (2019)

Link: apmreports.org/episode/2019/08
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't know there's anything wrong with it.

Okay longshot but here we go, Fedi please boost this through the roof:

Anyone on here living in lisbon amd willing to help me out for a couple of days?

I am on a hitchhiking trip, rolled my ankle and need a place to stay for a couple of days to see if it gets better because currently I definitily shouldn't walk. Even less so with 14Kg on my back haha.
So if you live here or know a person or something like that who would offer me shelter for a coupke of days that would be amazing!

Recomendations for cheap camping grounds or squats in or direclty around the area are welcome aswell <3

Thanks!

So it would look at lot prettier if I read lines in chunks, had a matrix of cells aka display units and then columnized them in chunks for nicer alignment.

Or also if I hard-coded column sizes as fraction of term width and let longer runs of text span columns.

Also, I am definitely going to have to go through this and get the number of allocations down as far as I can with my tiny brain. It’s disgraceful at the moment.

This is one of those problems where you can set the difficulty dial wherever you feel like, it turns out.

まず初めに断っておくが参院選の最中で起こった煽動を伴う一部のインフルエンサーアカウントの投稿をロシアが関与するbotアカウントが拡散させたという話と今回の記事は無関係となる。以前、「SNS上で参政党を応援する謎の「美女アイコン」アカウントが複数できていた」という記事を書いたりしたのだが、これは要は政党を応援する（？）「美女アイコン」のbotが散見されるという現象が起きていたというものだ。前回の記事に列挙したアカウントの中には凍結したアカウントも多いのだが、今現在もこういった傾向のbotアイコンが複数存在するし、なんなら政党の話題以外を設定されたbotアイコンも多い。では、まずは政党関連の話題を…

AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning

AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning

After 10 years as an AWS customer and open-source contributor, they deleted my account and all data with zero warning. Here's how AWS's 'verification' process became a digital execution, and why you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything.

I can't speak for Julian, but I can talk about my impressions from @boris 's presentation.

He went through a dozen different apps running on the ATProto network that create custom data types and interactions and distribute them through the network. It's all happening on the client side, so these new apps aren't their own PDS servers; they can concentrate on cool client experience and leave the distribution up to the back end.

This is almost exactly parallel to the ActivityPub API. It was cool seeing recipes, check-ins, images, events all being created and managed by server less web clients.

It definitely reenergized me for focusing on the ActivityPub API.
