> I remember thinking that math classes would be far more interesting if we were allowed to hand in a program to solve the class of problems they were asking us to manually and repeatedly solve, and to bring that program to the exam
With programmable graphing calculator that's sorta possible. At least, I've done it a few times.
Alas, it was most often banned from exams because "I can't see what you have done there to get that answer".
Also, most of the class ended up using my program for a specific class of problems we had to do in maths. In retrospect, I probably caused some harm by getting my classmates to be that lazy during exams.
It's by James Whittaker. Basically people are downloading and using way less apps than a few years ago. Today to get the users to use something it has to be sortof built-in the ecosystem in an other way then simply forcing someone to go search for and download a specific app.
Uber drivers have fair wages, considering they are working in a saturated market and competing with people with the qualifications of a 16 years old teen.
There are a lot of people with these qualifications.
When I was about 6 or 7 there was a complete section of my math textbook which contained informations and example on the BASIC language. We, of course, never read those chapters in class but I did anyways while bored with the actual stuff the teacher would say.
It would use a very simple and systematic flowchart representation to model control flow. The great thing about it is that once you understood < > = (also taught in the class) the whole program could be readable.
I think I was the only one to read it and pretty much got the feeling it wasn't important as nobody, even the teacher, payed any attention to it.
I didn't think of that specific use-case (only one or two apps for the whole life-cycle of the unit).
I'm still curious to know if it would be cheaper to buy Android units anyways and replace them as their software becomes obsolete as compared to buying pricier iPads that will keep up longer with software updates. Just factoring the costs here, not the environmental impact obviously.
In general I noticed a shorter support period in the Android segment as compared to iOS (Excluding terrible cases such as OnePlus dropping support almost instantly).
