Regex can also be horribly slow - it depends on the particular regex you are using.

Where are you getting this from? I've never heard this and I am a native speaker. Also none of the dictionaries I have access to mention this. E.g., one says: > likely to have a strong or far-reaching effect; radical and extreme:

I was only a lowly TA so I saw these issues from afar, but I would add that, on a more optimistic note, I don't think I've ever met an instructor who wouldn't do whatever he or she had to do to support someone with special ne

I'm reading the comments here and confused by one thing... Do people here not purchase fresh fruit and vegetables on a regular basis (i.e. multiple times a week)? I am not an expert on Costco but it seems insane to visit a store the

Well, to be fair, it has made every course hosted on Canvas equally accessible to everyone. ;)

by Gabriel54 4mo ago
Canvas has an easy way of checking if a pdf or other course material is accessible, so many universities are forcing faculty to put all their materials on Canvas. That way if a pdf or powerpoint is not compliant it is immediately flagged.

by Gabriel54 4mo ago
Accessibility regulations, implemented with feedback from faculty and with the support of university resources, are certainly a good thing. But that is not what is happening in my experience.

Definitely not a criticism of your (hard) work here. Thank you!

I'm surprised how few comments there are on this thread. This is probably affecting millions of students at the most stressful time of the year. Incidentally I've always hated Canvas and probably every other LMS provider, but wha

Where are you in the process currently? Once the I-130 is approved my understanding is that you can delay at the NVC stage indefinitely. You just have to contact them at least once every 12 months, or log in every year to submit one or an

I never said what I think about the law. I think we can agree that it does not address many of the fundamental issues that people experiencing homelessness face. The alternative, however, is not more sympathy but rather specific solutions

I'm not sure what sympathy has to do with anything we are discussing? People experiencing homelessness do not need sympathy, they need homes and community and support. It is a luxury to be sympathetic because the most sympathetic peo

Your heart doesn't have to bleed for such a person but I think most people would agree it is tiresome to see homeless people in the street. It is also a public health issue. Doing heroin in the middle of the sidewalk and throwing the

Or to be more generous, they are tired of seeing drug addicted people sleeping in the street.

by Gabriel54 5mo ago
I certainly do not agree with that. My point is that this article itself conflates homelessness and addiction, which I think is a serious error.

There is a big difference between professors being "free" to publish and express their views on a subject, and teaching that same subject in such a way that their views are presented as the only acceptable views on that subject.

It's an observation, not a value judgement. Try finding a fresh loaf of bread in the average American suburb.

I have never been asked such a thing, in the US or elsewhere. It would be on the customer to inform the staff of any allergies.

> You should also remove any students from classrooms whom routinely distract from others' learning. A good idea but not practically possible in any district, unfortunately.

On the link above, there is a link to "Table VI (Part II) Preference Visas Issued Fiscal Year 2024". It is broken down by the consulate/embassy issuing the visa. The grand totals have about 5000, 10000, 16000 EB-1/2&#x

You said it very well. Personally I would even go so far as to say it is a manufactured crisis perpetuated by both parties for the benefit of the rich in this country.
