schestowitzI'm involved in training my firms trainees for FD4. I've done this for a few years, and I've sat FD4 relatively recently (in the 5 Hour era). This post is specific to FD4, I cannot comment on other exams with shorter questions like FD1.Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzI think the use of online exams is good by the PEB, at least this avoids exams being cancelled. But the idea that FD4 can be the same format, just using a computer is ridiculous. Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzOur trainees have always had a print out of the paper, and all type their answers up on word. All of them use a monitor greater than 21.5 Inches (so not a small screen). After the first few papers an unusual number of people were not completing the paper. So I decided to sit the latest paper to time using the PC/Printed paper mix.Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzWhat is being asked of people is ridiculous if the format is being kept the same. Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzFirstly, it is slower. I'm not sure why, but it is about 20% slower than writing alone. Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzSecondly, the strain being put on peoples eyes is dangerous. I'm not sure if this paper/PC combo is being championed or whether the PEB want people to read documents on the computer. But the eye strain, constantly changing focus every 30 seconds for near on 4 hours (1 hour reading) leaves eyes incredibly sore. I finished the past paper at 1 in the afternoon and my eyes were in pain all night, to the point where i couldn't look at Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzanother screen and had to go to bed straight after dinner. Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzSomething that is not being considered is wrist pain as well. My set-up is health and safety compliant. I'm a gamer with a back problem so i've spent alot of money on ergonomic chairs, screen correct height etc. But fingers and wrists start to hurt after about 2 hours of near constant typing. This isn't sensible. Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzWe are now at the point in time where people have to submit extenuating circumstances. It is not unreasonable to want extra time becuase starring at a screen for 5 hours isnt healthy or safe. When some of the trainess have asked about whether the format is staying the same they just get a blanket reply from the PEB about how they are not answering any questions. So what next? Should we recommend they get a doctors note saying they Jul 06 17:06
schestowitzneed more time because this isnt sensible? Will this all be a waste of time because the format is changing? Will they be told anything? Being proactive with comms about the big exams would really help at this time. Jul 06 17:06

schestowitz@schestowitz Honestly I don't see the surprise here... Windows 10 has always (i.e. since 2015) been like this which is why I simply refuse to run it. It seems these users will keep complaining but keep using it, just like Facebook users who complain about Facebook. Line noise to me. Love it or leave it (I chose the latter)Jul 06 23:37

schestowitzKubuntu works with wifi out of the box. Try Kubuntu first without installation to see if the wifi is detected and working. Yes, it is more than Windows as you don't have to install it in order to try out all its features. Jul 06 23:38

schestowitz@schestowitz Roy, thanks for sharing the article. He did highlight some of the nice features of Kotlin but, surprisingly, failed to ever address the actual topic (why he switched) 😂 Jul 06 23:39
schestowitzSo far, I'm most impressed by the 30-40% average reduction in lines of code to accomplish the same tasks.Jul 06 23:39

schestowitzDoes this not correspond to the time of the backups? Jul 06 23:54
schestowitz03:44:55 (as above) is one of the worst moments, 03:43 or so IIRC, due to the gzip after dump of the largest DB.Jul 06 23:54
schestowitzSince we don't have 2 DBs with replication I suppose we can never do nightly backuups without disruption to service.Jul 06 23:54
schestowitzHow long did the above errors last? Should be no more than 10 minutes, I hope...Jul 06 23:55
