ha, you don't sound like you have kids. My kids love Roblox... You're birthday is coming up, what do you want? Roblox gift card. Grandma wants to get you a birthday, xmas, ____ gift, what do you want? Get me a roblox gift card or robucks as they are called. My kids now design shrits and sell them online and take the money and spend it on roblocks. Roblocks is also a way for kids to connect online. For example, mine talk to their cousins that live in another state and their friends from a neighborhood we moved away from.
just to complete the story, SCSI does have ATA command pass through. That is ATA commands over SCSI interface. In Linux, the libata library provides this implementation.
There are SATA drives that understand SCSI over ATAPI albeit in a limited way just to be clear.
>just to complete the story, SCSI does have ATA command pass through.
Very interesting! I just looked it up - it's the ATA PASS-THROUGH command in the SCSI-ATA Translation (SAT) specification. Someone just told me this is apparently a common way to read SMART data from hard drives in USB enclosures.
>There are SATA drives that understand SCSI over ATAPI albeit in a limited way just to be clear.
I assume you mean hard drives. This is extremely interesting. Can you provide more information? Examples of drives, any links?
another screen saver was Johnny Castaway. Was an IT guy at a company in the late 90s and this screen saver was on many workstations where I worked. Was always intriguing to see what Johnny would be into next...
If anyone is interested in the 6502 and its history, this YouTuber does a fantastic job covering the history. Some of his videos include past employees of MOS & Commodore employees.
you forgot 9 weeks off every summer, paid holidays, no contributions into social security, and some get classroom aids, they don't design curriculum (it's purchased), throw in common core for good measure....
>9 weeks off every summer
Unpaid. Also depending on location, it's more like 5 weeks
>paid holidays
No more than required by law
>no contributions into social security
Must be dependent on location. Here in Maine, my mother contributes to social security but is not eligible for benefits from it unless she retires after 30-35 years of teaching.
>and some get classroom aids
That's a laugh, teachers don't even get sufficient budget to buy school supplies for their classroom.
>they don't design curriculum (it's purchased)
Untrue. Maybe dependent on location, but once again, here in Maine, teachers are responsible for designing, building, and running their own curriculum, on a per-subject basis.
>throw in common core for good measure
Not sure what you mean by that
The vast majority of info about teaching as a career will vastly differ based on location. For example, it is my understanding that teaching in California is closer to a $60k salary, while here in Maine, the majority of schools are more like $40k after 20 years accrued. You get about 3 personal days a year, with just a bit more sick time, meaning teachers often have to just work sick. Teachers are also required to keep their education up with taking college level classes every few years, as well as meeting other requirements (which is a good thing) often out of their own pocket (which is bad thing). You start work not after 7:45, and are "done" by 4, unless you actually do your job as a teacher and want to not be fired, in which case you are done after 7pm. You teach hundreds of students, and often end up being the sole support figure for tens of students per year, basically adopting them and trying to contribute as much as you can to their lives. Everything you do, inside and outside of work, is scrutinized by the entire town. Every little twerp of a kid is an angel to their parents, and 80% of the parents will blame you for any problem they create. Imagine the kind of hate that the lowest retail worker gets, now imagine you went to college for 6ish years and still get that hate.
The single upside (again, here in Maine) is really really good, 100% employer paid healthcare, though no dental. Pretty much the only reason my dirt poor family didn't die on the street.
If school teachers worked how much they are paid, America would have collapsed 50 years ago.
