It seemed odd to me at first that so many “wine experts” I bumped into clearly didn’t work in the industry. But a look at Japan’s test-taking culture revealed a love for more than just the drink. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/03/17/food-drink/lee-food-wine-certification-japan-sommelier-boom/

Started John Savill's SC-300 Exam Cram video today, looking for areas I'm weak in. I've also cleared it with the boss to get reimbursed for exam purchases! Finally, I got a free Azure trial tenant setup for all the fun things. Once I get a good handle on what I do and don't need to study, I'll pick a date for the exam!

The crisis continues in with the Govt. compounding the problem by refusing requests fr help for students in schools where facilities are unusable due to the risk of building collapse....

This story remains a metaphor for how the UK's approach to (cost-cutting & skipped maintenance) is not sustainable.... and as we know this is not an issue limited to schools.

(article also contains a helpful graphic on the RAAC problem)

Has anyone seen an implementation of scanning and machine evaluating multiple choice exams that is not terrible for students?

Things I don't like:

  • requiring separate answer sheet (error-prone)
  • unstapling multiple page exams for scanner
  • exam not physically corrected, harder for students to review their exam afterwards

Asking for a friend...

This is the part where I was going to try to compare how shells have hidden treasures, and eyes also have hidden treasures, but I'm not, because that would sound silly. Instead I present to you, a big creepy eye, that will always follow you.

Out of curiosity as season will start soon: We currently have a rule that students can use tools. Without acknowledging so when used for grammar, style, spelling, etc. But they have to mention what, when, and how they did if they use it for generating ideas, data, whole paragraphs, etc.

Surprisingly, we don't have regulations for (MT) tools. For sit-in exams students are allowed paper dictionaries (!) and that's it.

How about your institution and ?

Wegen eines Buchungsfehlers musste ich innerhalb von zwei Wochen meinen für SLES 15 durchziehen. Dadurch, dass ich die zuvor schon gemacht habe, war das tatsächlich auch machbar.

Nun darf ich mich offiziell SUSE Certified Administrator for Linux Enterprise 15 (sca_sles15) nennen!

Ich habe vor über 20 Jahren mit SUSE Linux angefangen und bin heute in der -Community aktiv. Daher freut mich das besonders.

Best healthcare system in the world (for stockholders):

Doctors, patients try to shame insurers online to reverse previous authorization denials

“They take in premiums and don’t pay claims. That’s how they make money. They just delay and delay and delay until you die. And you’re absolutely helpless as a patient.”

True story…

I had a 50ish patient with new acute superimposed on, but different from, long-standing chronic back pain. On and they had NEW lower extremity neurologic findings. I ordered an , which was the appropriate next step at the time.

I was forced to spend two evenings on hold for something like 20-30min for "pre-authorization"… two because they hung up on me the first time. I had to re-type a 20 digit code three times as they redirected me internally… finally spoke to the "physician in authority" and… HE READ MY OWN CHART BACK TO ME!! … then blithely approved the study. <insert swear words here!>

This is my Exhibit A for . (A complete waste of my time and that was the point! Unethical, and should be illegal.) Ironically I had a very conservative approach to imaging. That was probably the first new study I had ordered for back pain in months.

My pathology had a paper with on the door before which we all waited for the . It stated:

"First you ask me a , I & we discuss it.

Then I ask two questions, both initiating a short discussion on their own.

Demonstrating a good grasp in one discussion is enough for a passing grade.

For a 10 [best grade], inquisitiveness that reaches wider than what's in the books is required."

I loved this approach.
