Learning to code isn’t enough

This was an interesting read about the history of computer science education.

It brought me back to my high school experience in the early 1990’s. In its curriculum course catalog, the school advertised an Introduction to Computer Science class. I was looking forward to taking the course once I had some room in my schedule for electives. I signed up for the class each year I could and was disappointed each year when told that the class wouldn’t be offered. While I don’t remember the precise reasons given for not offering the advertised class, I do remember feeling like the answers were not satisfactory.

Alas… I’m glad comp sci education is more accessible these days.

Fox, Dominion reach $787M settlement over election claims

This is a significant settlement. Dominion is receiving some justice, but the issue is far from settled. We will continue to live in an epistemological crisis for the foreseeable future.

Interestingly, this story is nowhere to be found on the foxnews.com website. The lead story above the scroll is: “What Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden are reporting as their federal adjusted gross income.”

Edit: I didn’t dig deep enough.

Sloosha’s Crossin’ an’ Ev’rythin’ After

It’s not everyday that you read something that brings a little clarity to the abortion discourse within the Catholic church. Today was one of those days.

This article (like much of Ginocchio’s writing) is neither for the faint of heart nor those of tender conscience. The commentary is biting, crass, and sprinkled with ad hominem potshots at “fan favorites,” but dammit if it doesn’t make me LOL and re-evaluate what I believe on the regular.
