I like to think “magic” is the pursuit of knowledge that supports life and the harmonious enjoyment of it with others.

“Adaptive” standardized tests are not “standardized” because the computer assigns different exams to each student based on their answers to initial questions, capping their maximum score early on, incentivizing students to quit early to, using speedrunner terminology, avoid wasting time on a “dead run”. #sat #standardizedTesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computerized_adaptive_testing

I imagine people during World War 2 would have hesitated to call it that until the US got itself involved. Similarly, I think the current conflict may be known as World War 3 even though China has yet to get directly entangled. #israel #us #iran

@cstross@wandering.shop Reminds me of the hoops I have to jump through to get #iso8601 dates in my #Debian apps via the `LC_TIME` environment variable and a bespoke `en_SE` “English - Sweden” custom locale. https://blog.carsoncheng.ca/2021/03/use-iso-8601-dates-in-pcmanfm-on-debian.html . This was the “easiest” solution I found in 2022 after exploring options to get #Firefox, #Thunderbird, and other apps to display YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS style time stamps. In #macOS, I think you just modify `System Preferences > Language & Region > Advanced > Dates`.
