@globcoco Fully agree here, I started this process yesterday, Quit both Computing at School and Torbay Together forums as they were proving to be a waste of time.

Using the discourse forum here, as a community we can share experience and where to learn new skills or follow interests through learning.

Very important now that schools are closed and people are falling over themselves to provide home learning, no one ever seems to ask the learner what they want to learn or go deeper in to.

@mastodonusercount Nice to see mastodon break the 4 million barrier, on wards and upwards as they say.

Today I am looking at some of the alternatives.

@freemo @design_RG Cool thanks, I will delete the one I did as that is just a topic

@freemo @design_RG
Yeah Astronomy would be better, thanks.

@design_RG @freemo
Hi How do we create a new discourse top level category ? in The Study. Like the categories in bold.

I tried to create a Astronomy and Astrophysics topic but not sure if this has done that. ?

Thanks

@paulsutton

Now this is interesting. I just created this blog post to test federation and published it, it appears here no problem.

When a blog is scheduled it fails to federate.

Detecting Exoplanets and Asteroids: First Citizen Science Successes for Backyard Astronomy

Great stuff,

#citizen,#science,#astronomy,#exoplanets.

@schestowitz It seems that intel are just past it..

With the Raspberry Pi 4 now having 8gb ram, and plenty of other ARM based single board computers, the Pi 4 sets a standard for other SBCs to provide more ram,, I think the PI CPU chip can only address up to 16gb but other arm chips can go beyond that,

Hopefully people will see the light, and move away from IA86 IA64 based architecture.

And move away from MS of course.

@freemo Indeed, I am doing really well with Free Code Camp learn anywhere for free.

I think school is starting to be come less and less relevant, not sure, lots of kids being home schooled before the pandemic, more now but it will be interesting to see who actually goes back, esp when more people work from home, employers become more flexible (they are going to HAVE to),

Kids who are bullied or have Special needs, e.g Autistic end up home schooled as they are failed by the system.

The nice thing about free code camp is that you can earn a certificate for your efforts, and thanks to the community that certificate counts for something that is valuable.

@Fellmoon@mastodon.social I feel people are being demonised without the person demonising them knowing anything about that person.

The nice thing about where we are here is we are able to have proper conversations, challenge ideas and give alternative ideas,

I think your suggesting what is positive reinforcement.

If you are a child running down the corridor and an adult yells don't run, What are they asking YOU to do.

If they say to another child Thank you for walking it usually makes the other child who is running start to walk, you focus on the behaviour you want.

One of the reasons I want to share information and help people find e-learning opportunities is the cost of this course here :

Computing is for the Rich and Elite clearly.

@freemo yeah makes sense, as you would fill the remainder of the volumetric flask with water.

@freemo @stux So does that tie in with the conservation of matter rule for reactions ?

@freemo Ah, so about 980g, in the same amount of water.

@freemo @stux And if I get things nuclear reactions are under different pressure(s).,

@freemo Ah on, so 1 mol of H_2SO_4 would be

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98.07848 g/mol

@freemo @stux IIRC the bond energy is called enthalpy, hence say you have ionisaion energy in bonds for carbon which. So Ethane has a single bond whereas Ethene has 2 carbon bonds, so needs more energy to break.

@freemo Out of interest what is the difference between 98% and Molar concentration. ?

@freemo Yikes, take care doing that :)
