+ 8
6
­ 2

vs.

8 + 2 = 10
10 + 6 = 16

Is what I interpret that to mean, and what the article then describes

@LukeAlmighty Then we agree

@LukeAlmighty I have no opinions on common core, I don't even know what that is

I'm saying 8 + 2 + 6 is better than 8 + 6 + 2 and (41 - 1) + (29 + 1) is better than 41 + 29

@LukeAlmighty We agree then, right? Just a different definition of "new maths"

The image just shows a much worse way to do add and carry. While the article I found for "new maths" is not that

@LukeAlmighty (and what is happening in the image is double stupid)

@LukeAlmighty Using dots is stupid, but otherwise this seems much better

We were tought to add and carry in school, but I somehow mentally reached what this is trying to teach anyway. It was never taught to me

It's more abstract and less systematic because you're learning to rearrange complex problems into more but simpler problems. This is the right way to solve any kind of problem

@LukeAlmighty > Say you want to add two-digit numbers. The old-school way millennial parents were taught involved putting one on top of the other and carrying, if necessary. Now, students are encouraged to rethink how they arrange the numbers. Moldavan gives the example of 41 + 29. You could rewrite 29 as 30, which is a rounder, "friendly number." Then, you turn 41 into 40 (also "friendly"). You've subtracted 1 from 41, and added 1 to 29, so that cancels out. And now you have your product: 70.

> Another strategy is called "making 10s." "Say you want to add 8 + 6 + 2," says Moldavan. "You might rearrange the numbers so you can quickly make a 10. So, you'll add 8 + 2, and then add 6 to get 16."

This is what I've always done in my head. What is wrong with it?

@LukeAlmighty When they do it it is for dumb and gay reasons, duh

@LukeAlmighty Noise canceling headphones combined with quiet music work pretty well for me

@bot @kirby This is why recipes should be under the GPL

@LukeAlmighty Right, so you don't mean actually editing it on a phone but using the phone as a PC to edit docs

>Editing documents can be done on exactly the same software as on a linux PC
This already works beyond Linux phones?

I'd guess it hinges most on whether the software gap will be closed. Although PCs and the tons of legacy software won't go anywhere, at least until we get perfect compatibility. Apple seems in a better situation for it but I could see jewgle trying to combine Android and ChromeOS too

@LukeAlmighty There are dozens of millions of gamers that buy machines worth thousands of dollars. I understand that the g*cha cancer is a problem but PC games aren't going anywhere

And does anyone actually edit documents on a phone instead of a laptop? Sounds awful

I also don't know how well that is going to scale. Hardware is getting better much slower than before, so how much can you fit into a phone without huge diminishing losses and increasing prices?

@LukeAlmighty Whoring

@nicholas @latein @LukeAlmighty @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired There's also a simpler rationalist issue: there's a chain of trust that starts at you, you have to decide who and what to trust and if you can't use your own head to make judgements you can't reasonably conclude that the experts are worth trusting

@lain I always love how they know that tolerance is a hollow feel-good concept but call it a 'paradox' and try and justify it anyway

@LukeAlmighty That's a lot to deadlift. Good job!

@LukeAlmighty @tomie I don't see why it has to be that way
