Comment Whatâ(TM)s the actual problem here? (Score 1) 100

The students had a problem to solve, they used AI to solve it, and it appears to a very high standard.

If this happened in a work environment everyone would be happy itâ(TM)s saved time and cost, and delivered a solution.

This suggests to me that the problem wasnâ(TM)t sufficiently hard enough if AI can solve easily and correctly, so the teacher needs to be either teaching something else now as the subject matter is considered fully solved from a theoretical point or needs to make it much harder or elements manual labour so the students have to actually be creative, or do something.

Teaching definitely needs to change, the days of having to remember things during a test or exam are long gone, most of us now have the knowledge of the world in our pockets so knowledge recall is no longer a way to test people.

No emails in my inbox, have folders @respond for ones I need to respond to that I can't immediately, @reference for anything I might thing might be useful later, @payment, then several other folders for filtering work stuff I need to keep or auto filter clients to for response later

Emails that come in are dealt with immediately, responded to immediately and moved to @reference if I need to keep or deleted, read immediately if it's a mailing list or deleted if I don't have time (if I don't have time now, I probably will never have the time), @payment for purchases.

By keeping my inbox empty, I can deal with email extremely quickly and I keep my time wastage down, I tend to deal with emails once in the morning, and then once in the evening, keeps the rest of the day free to get on with work.

Submission + - PHP 5.6 rapidly coming to the end of support - a time bomb waiting to happen? (linkedin.com)

An anonymous reader writes: I know PHP isn't to some devs liking, but chances are you know people who work with PHP or have sites that are built with it. PHP 5.6 and 7.0 are shortly coming to the end of the support period for security patches, so what plans have you made to migrate code and sites to newer platforms ? With apparently huge numbers (80%) of sites still running PHP 5.6, there appears to be little industry acknowledgement of the issue. Is there a Ticking PHP Time Bomb waiting to go off?
