Of course. You can even use the syntax.

My opinion is that most educational stuff treats kids super super carefully. If you’re a parent or doing 1:1 teaching, you very precisely target which things to do and how to teach them. Like, “don’t go into the deep end of the pool” is for when there isn’t someone paying attention and watching. But you are. You can step in and help. Go have fun in the deep end.

The bigger problem I see, is that for learning to happen, there needs to be genuine interest and a genuinely good project for the kid to do and chances are they can’t do that, because they don’t have any problems that need solving.

You can bridge that by making something up or buying a kit, but ultimately, learning to code is about empowerment to solve your own problems.

You know [Burger chain]? Self hosting is making your own burger. Kinda similar ingredients, kinda looking product overall, it’s still a burger.

But you’re in control.

Yes it is, but it’s already covered. I’m memeing on the the text.

It’s like saying “you need less fuel per mile/kilometer and you need less fuel”.

You can’t just say, “you need less fuel”, because it always depends on how much you actually drive and that kind of measure is already the “liters per kilometer”, so the second part of the sentence is just nonsense. Which makes me question if the person writing about it, understood any part of what they’re writing about.

A US company has engineered a new type of wood that it says has up to 10 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel

neat!

while also being up to six times lighter.

But… but that’s… that’s part of the thing. That you just said improved. The ‘weight’ part in ‘strength-to-weight’.

The “tongues have taste zones” thing is the only thing that comes to mind.

The thing that always gets me about the Renaissance is Galileo:

He did those experiments with things falling down? Measuring speed?

Yeah. Without a clock.

The theory for how to build those came later, based on what Galileo did.

This may be my favorite voronoi tesselation.
