Perhaps they should've used something similar to the 9. However then it wouldn't really look like a lower-case g.

Here is how I would personally modify lowercase g:

   xxx
  x   x
  xxxxx
      x
  xxxx
It looks a bit like a 9 but the descender is different.

(Could play around with how many x's to put on the first and third lines, particularly whether to set the first/last bits on those lines as "corners" or make it more rounded.)

I would also modify the top of lowercase e in a similar fashion.


I might do something like this instead:

      xx
     x x
      xx
    x  x
     xx
A little awkward, but very distinct from the 9. The reason to narrow the head of it is to allow the descender to rise upwards without turning it into an 8.

It depends on the level, though. You can easily ask AI to "Calculate intersection with X-axis for sin(2πx)" and I found many and I mean MANY errors in my textbook.

Could you share some?

This. All the drama articles in the media are describing lazy institutions.

My tests are almost 100% in person. Project work included, you can hand something in, but I'm going over line by line and ask what you did there.

I can do this, because while my school hasn't updated the tests yet, my classes are small and I can do all of them in-person.


Lots of negative posts here, who presume to speak for others. I, for one, welcome new entrants especially since they're under the Mozilla umbrella. This client could use the passwords and cookies stored in Firefox. And I'd trust it too, unlike other clients.

I don't get the negativity, there's plenty wrong with agile (notably the hours of meetings) but all in all, it's a method and I don't see anything better right now.

Just wanted to say that for many years, Arq has been my backup solution. It's amazing and I advise it to everyone I know.

Not increasing but cancelling plans on phasing out. Here in The Netherlands, an absolutely minuscule country of ~18 million people, two coal plants will remain online that previously would've been phased out.

I think that's pretty great, actually. You can look that up to see more info about the commit.


But think about it, if they were on Github now, which is owned by Microsoft, would there be even further consequences?
