There are many guitar 'tunings', and many predate the 'standard' tuning the article refers to. Also, players make up different ones all the time, including using capos to temporarily change 'tuning' on the fly. The 'standard' tuning is by no means the only one.

If storing information and creating associations between bits of it were 'learning', then databases would be very smart indeed.

No, learning is not 'storing pieces of information in long-term memory and recalling them'. It's not the ability to recall information. At the very least, learning is information+behavior change+understanding+values and attitudes associated with the information. It's much more complex than memorization and recall.

Ah, cue the long thread of “No because my special combination of hardware/special configuration demands caused problems so Linux bad!”

* In order to write cursive legibly, you need to slow down*

And right there is one of the crucial cognitive and proprioceptive benefits of handwriting over ‘keyboarding’.

This is not true, of course. In the US, millions of students still learn and write cursive. Yes, even in public schools. Is it uniformly taught/practiced? No, but it’s far from ‘dying out’. My wife is a 20+ year public school teacher, and daughter attends a Waldorf school.

And all criticisms I read of cursive seem to utterly ignore the proven cognitive and other benefits of handwriting, instead focusing on ‘efficiency’ and ‘speed’ or—even sillier—comparing it to ‘keyboarding’ as if handwriting’s only value is its utility.

A: "That's stupid, it's against the law to run around naked in public!"

B: "So what if we had privacy laws like that?"

A: "That's stupid, I have nothing to hide!"

I would go further than the writer and say SQLite would be appropriate for almost all WP applications. Offhand, I can’t think of a meaningful use case that would make MySQL more preferable to SQLite.

Thereby defeating the fundamental benefit of playing with Legos. So much software tries so hard to replace what never needed replacing.

As Queen, she met 14 US Presidents (15 total) and 16 Prime Ministers (17 total). Whatever our feelings toward the anachronism of hereditary monarchies, she's been a participant in (and witness to) a significant amount of modern history.

frequency of appearance != favorite.

Yep, I do.

Reason #368 why I cover all cameras and disable mics by default, and only uncover/enable when in use.

In fact, this is most recruiter inquiries.

Consider the dataset. Adjust expectations accordingly.
