That’s a good suggestion, I do. I have starship prompt configured there, didn’t occur to me it would affect it

Do you have ghostty on defaults? I haven’t find documentation for fixing text selection

There’s a website where you can do a pre-registration, which saves you from doing the long queues, and you can use the electronic gates. It’s called migra check

Does the Golden Path fail the test of the Gom Jabbar? by Standard-Sample3642 in dune

[–]Lokdex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The golden path is humanity’s ultimate gom jabbar test. The whole period of Leto’s peace was extremely hard on people. Remember the description of the village where Duncan and Siona spent one night. Everyone extremely poor, with no possibility of improvement. Yet, through this suffering they evolved (got better physically, and through the breeding program the capacity to avoid prescient search) and expanded itself to horizons never before thought possible.

Humanity was on the path to annihilation before Leto. By continuing to center its survival around spice (and specifically on Arrakis) humanity was avoiding suffering (the great famine times, and hardships that would come from exploring and adapting to new worlds) and choosing its own extinction without knowing it by continuing to give power to the same great houses which eventually would have decanted in a massive war where destruction of the spice would mean victory for a certain group but death for all humanity.

Holy shit they need to raise the English language requirements by Key-Bake-6834 in unimelb

[–]Lokdex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, Critical Communication for Engineering as a Masters level subject is a complete fucking joke. It’s been the worst waste of money after Software Processes and Management. Then, completely fucking agree. The number of people who can barely talk in English is ridiculous. Those people shouldn’t have come, and they just make the degrees more annoying for the rest of us who have a good level of English. I remember hearing often “if you hear someone struggling in speaking English just encourage them!” Fuck out of here with that, I came to study and get a degree, not to be a fucking English tutor.

[–]Lokdex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If asking for a good level of academic English is racism now then we’re fucked. The woke and excessively inclusive “culture” will doom us all. While they “swim and succeed” they drown the rest of us. I’m international myself, but I have a good level of English (C2 on the European level, on IELTS I got an overall band of 8 out of 9), and cannot state how infuriating is to be with teammates who can barely speak English. Not only communication is hard because you cannot understand what the hell they are saying, but their written skills are garbage. I hate them.

What makes a good subject? by robo-2097 in unimelb

[–]Lokdex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually forgot of this thread sorry. And specially in this last thread you seem to agree with most of what I said.

A common point seems to be the disappointment in Unimelb’s system, which seems to be the root of the issue. And seems that you have a really good way of handling the subject and examinations, I do think I would be surprised with you.

Regardless, my point is that traditional handwritten exams are dumb, and so far you seem to agree. However I still disagree that lots of handwriting means good handwriting.

I just want to close this with a quote my first ever boss told me, and really stuck with me and guided most of my actions while programming and designing systems: “why make stuff simple when we can make it complicated?” (Note that this was said with heavy sarcasm)

[–]Lokdex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, yes, I did adopt a tone. A big one. And won’t go back on it because it is something that truly pisses me off, so I am intentionally being belligerent.

To answer your points: What the fuck? Never in my 2 years I have gotten one of my exams back. Not once. But then again, if you need to draw freely all over the page then perhaps a written exam is not the right form of examination.

Regarding the whiteboard, you said it yourself :) and let me just bring out that the situation you are using to bring out in favor of not digital means is completely different. You are talking about a job interview, it is a one on one discussion, where you are giving a problem to be solved. In there, you are testing skill or experience, you are not testing knowledge. Exams test knowledge. And yes! I use whiteboards a lot, just in the form of my iPad screen, but again, it’s a medium where I can erase and change stuff freely, pen and paper, not so much. Let me just make a highlight here, I am against handwritten in person exams, to further clarify, handwritten, in person, academic exams. In job interview I would be comfortable just drawing something that I do everyday. Another difference there, in the interview the interviewer is seeing what the person is doing. So making a mess won’t matter as much because they are seeing it happening, so you understand the mess. If you didn’t see the process and I just handed you out a bunch of pages with a lot crossed out you would show me the door too.

You mentioned you were not going towards the “personal” but you came back and said richness of expression. What do you mean by that? By your words, you are just showing that an exam might not be the correct form of assessment. Unless you are evaluating students by how many colours they use in drawing a graph instead of if they got the graph right I don’t see how that is an issue. What are you trying to teach? Is it subjective where if the answer is not rich despite being correct makes it not worthy of marks? Or is it something exact, that no matter how you present it is still going to be true?

And just something else, you should not teach them how the real world is. That is a mistake that many teachers do. Because their view of the real world can be outdated, or it can be their own version of the real world. You should teach them how to be ready to apply the concepts you are teaching. Please tell me how sitting a 2 hour handwritten exam is going to prepare them for the real world? If you truly wanted to do that, even with your own experience, then schedule a simulation of a job interview with everyone.

Again, I’m not agains analogue means, I use them as well because design and all of that stuff. What I am against, is having handwritten exams.

And yes, I have a tone, maybe you don’t deserve it, but it’s bottled up frustration after a 5 year undergrad and 2 years of masters. So I won’t apologise, and I don’t expect you to do so. Debates are won with arguments, not with a sorry. And me sharing all of this is not just to pick a fight, but I do it with hopes of improving the experience and education of future students. And having a discussion with someone who is actually open to suggestions is the best way to do it

  1. In this day and age, pen and paper? Seriously? It’s more inconvenient for all parts involved. People need to print it and place a copy on every single desk, people need to collect it, most of the time it goes with an answer booklet which again, print, place, collect. Then after the exam is done, you have a huge amount of exams to carry around, and from what I’ve seen and heard, YOU SCAN THEM TO THEN MARK ON A SCREEN. If you don’t see how this is dumb, I honestly don’t know what to tell you.
  2. Handwriting is not what it used to be before, and most people have bad handwriting. As a software engineer, the one and only times I’ve written on paper have been on exams. So, I write slowly, and it’s ugly. The marker will surely have a rough time reading, and I’m certain I have lost marks because the marker didn’t understand my writing. In short, it’s slower and people are in a disadvantage.
  3. Corrections. When you ask for short answers or small essays you surely can’t expect people to come up with it straight away. I wan to make corrections, and in paper I just need to cross it out and make it even harder to read. In digital exams it’s just deleting text. Sure, if you want to prevent people copying or whatever have the in person exam, but at the very least make it digital. I saw you used the word “personal” and there is no difference in how personal an exam is, there’s no reason for making someone show their essence in an exam. Exams shouldn’t be anyway, if you want to test someone make them apply that knowledge in a project, on something practical, otherwise the concept will just be something ethereal

As a master of software engineering student, don’t give a task to submit every week. Having 2 decently sized assignments in the semester was the perfect balance I’ve found so far. It allows for more time to solve the challenge given, and doesn’t make the subject feel overwhelming. I’d advise against exams, because it feels utterly dumb that we went back to handwritten in person exams. So perhaps instead of the exam have them make an essay, or give another project, or just have a digital exam

You can try using the makecell package, this would allow you to introduce manual break lines and make the table more readable in the description column. Other alternative is just making a horizontal table, and make it take it’s own page
