Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

  • There’s way too many for me to list them all and that’s just some random site; but Blackboard is a decent all-rounder from the instructor side of things but sucks bcz proprietary. Personally I’ve been having pretty decent engagement with OpenLMS which is based off Moodle, but OpenEDX is also getting popular. Google classroom does suck, no argument, and Blackboard is corpo garbage with a slick UI so I can’t really recommend it beyond “steal the UI”.

    Moodle is great if your IT group can support it though - super customizable and doesn’t require the collection of obnoxious amounts of student info like with the alternatives. A little less robust but still much less rigid and soul-suckingly tedious compared to canvas.



  • Huh. So the miserable UI, constant feature reversion, nightmare that is support, lack of integration tools and the historical total lack of action on reported security issues…?

    Have used canvas for years. Canvas is just shitty software, and Instructure are utter bastards to anyone that aren’t mormon and have gotten some incredibly shady contracts to force wide adoption. They’re awful, and this breach just hilights their shit practices.

    Neat that their software is available under aGPL tho, that really matters.



  • Unfortunately because of how ultrasonic transducers work you need an extremely rigid connection between it and the blade - otherwise it’s like having a spring between the two and it completely negates the benefits of being ultrasonic. The easiest way to get that connection is just to weld the blade directly to the transducer. In a consumer application like this, where you’re compromising on basically every aspect in order to fit the form-factor, the losses from a swappable blade would almost entirely negate the benefits of the system.

    In short, to have even the moderately functional product they’ve got, there’s no way for them to have swappable blades. The system just won’t be powerful enough to compensate for the losses.
