To answer the question in title, I came to Canada and lived here for the last 20~ years. Since day one, I always opted to try to use English (rather than my first language) whenever possible. It was hardest at first, but the more I did it, the easier it became.

in the end it doesn't really matter if you speak perfect English, most of the English users are not native English speakers and everyone makes mistakes, it's better to communicate with mistakes than being afraid to use language at all

I think you have to find a "cheat" that immerses you in English as a SECONDARY side effect.

For example find a TV show that you like to watch and understand then sit through it with English subtitles so you can see what you are hearing in written form. As you get better you can turn off the subtitles.

I think the methods that focus on language learning as the primary objective are not successful after you learn the basics. Perhaps because they are too boring or some other reason.
Interesting. I personally use uBlock and "cookie autodelete", which deletes cookies for all sites except the white-listed ones each 5 minutes, automatically.

So if your interpretation is correct, and GDPR affects even completely anonymous users, I'll be seeing and clicking "consent box" each time I go read a newspaper or just do general browsing. Like the "we use cookies" stuff, but on steroids.

EDIT: but still, I find this hard to believe, tbh. It means no ads served to anonymous users, and this has consequences I can't even imagine.
>> What's the root cause of success?" really is a nice and succinct way of illustrating the problem with root cause analysis.

No it's not. Success is usually the result of a lot of things going right. The implication is that root cause analysis is like asking why a new business failed vs succeeded. That's what a post-mortem is for. Root Cause Analysis is primarily used to find the cause of a failure in something that is otherwise working normally. Why did the rocket explode? Why did the aircraft go down? Why did the car have sudden uncontrolled acceleration? The results of an RCA are specific and actionable things that can prevent future occurrences. There may be multiple "contributing factors" discovered along the way, and it's sensible to address those as well. Nobody says to ignore all contributing factors along the way.

The author also takes the failed car example and proposes a bunch of things that were not the problem and acts as if they were overlooked in asking 5 whys. Each of the why questions had a specific answer in the example, but there may have been other things looked at prior to finding each answer. He suggests that other things may have been ignored while overlooking the specific actionable items that were identified.
I run an ACER chromebook with GalliumOS. I don't really run anything on the chromebook itself except a text editor (and sometimes even that is X-forwarded from a build server); I store code and do builds on virtual servers via remote commands I've enapsulated in Makefiles. It cost about $150, and if it ever breaks I'll just go buy another one.

Best thing to do is travel, or language vacation. I've done a language holiday in Spain, learning Spanish, and that worked really well. I only did two weeks, but got a basic understanding of Spanish, in a beautiful old town - Salamanca. You can do the same with English. I bet you can go to London, Sydney, New York and many other places to learn English. You have to do this in a country or city where the main language is English of course. You don't want to do this in Paris or Barcelona.

I did morning study and afternoon free, but you could do much more if you wanted, like 6 or 8 hours daily, and even private classes. Besides that we had to do homework, and that could take two hours or more, so be aware of that. Two weeks is a minimum to learn anything, but if you have the money go for at least three or four weeks. Then you set something in motion.

We could stay with local families or in an appartment with other students. With a local family you'll learn a lot more, especially if they don't speak any other language. If you prefer to stay in an appartment, ask for an appartment without people who speak your language. The tendency is to go speak the easiest language, and you're not there to do that.

Have fun! Do all the tours etc. Avoid people who speak your language.

People's expectation of what is considered "fluent" is very different and many different approaches can work. Regardless of where you are, there are things that you can do.

I am Vietnamese and studied English as a second language at 10 years old. I have been living in the US for the last 10 years -- 1/3 of my life. I have very little problems communicating in English now, but I want to give you a glimpse of how confident I am with my English. I used to know a professional interpreter who is not a native speaker either but has got an excellent grip on English. He interpreted for a couple of US presidents on their diplomatic trips. He often commented on my Facebook that my English is shit when I had Facebook. He would poke fun at my misspellings and grammatical errors. I still write, listen, and speak like a machine.

If I remember it correctly, the translator fiend's advice to everyone was always that to read lots of books. His advice to learn to speak English was to go out and talk to the English expats. Many long for a friend, and you might learn a thing or two on the way. He did that when he was 20. I think those are a solid advice.

For me, it was a little bit different. I think a big part of it is that I had an itch to do it. When I was younger, I learned English by reading MSDN + VB manuals because I needed to code. Then for a couple of years in HS, I lead an indie translation project to translate a couple of Harry Potter books to Vietnamese. My schedule was totally fucked up in the summer when the books came out: Sleep in until noon, then at night just translate 1/4 of a chapter or so, or proofread other people's translations until 6 AM. After that project, I wouldn't care if my English is not good anymore, I knew I've dealt with enough shit to not be intimidated by English.

But in general, I think what works best is that you have to have a use for it. If you don't have a use for it, your work doesn't depend on it, then you need to have a hobby in which your English skill is needed to get the work done. Maybe you can make an impact or two along the way. It's just like to learn a new programming language or paradigm.

Like now, I'm a professional HN commentator, and it requires some serious English skill, don't you see ;-)?

Apple willingly permits any application to subvert user control. You can't record your iPhone screen trough the lightning connection while using Netflix app. You can't send a fake GPS signal to apps, give fake contact files, or lie to your software. And you can't play background audio, because fundamentally Apple doesn't put user freedom first. I find it bizarre that an application on my phone could choose to not play my audio in the background.

If you can't lie to your software, then it controls you, and you have no power. Apple could do more in this aspect for control.
My experience at a community college was quite different. The physics professors were known to kick people's asses but you learned a lot, and the math courses ->calculus were really good. However, not all classes had the same level of rigor. I took grammar course at the community college, and all we did was watch videos of flying saucers with the instructor going on and on about the conspiracy cover-up. WTF, it was a grammar course. So a mixed bag.
First of all read a lot. Read local communities like Reddit, HN (here), slashdot, etc. This will make you familiar with the daily language.

Second, listen a lot. Watch movies with original sound and English subtitles. Try to understand, try to make sense of it. If you listen English songs, try to listen a little more attentive.

Then write a lot. Try to take your notes in English. Comment your code in English. Try to comment more into stories or forums around the world.

These three will sharpen you in daily English. You'll become more familiar. Becoming fluent becomes after becoming familiar. As everyone said, also read books, novels in English and take notes, however some books' vocabulary may be drastically different from others (e.g., Both Hyperion Cantos and Ready Player One are SciFi novels, but latter one has a much more accessible English than the former).

Last but not the least, don't focus on your progress. You'll advance inevitably. Just continue doing so, and you'll find yourself much more improved after some time. Fluency is best when it comes with time, and when it's built step by step, it becomes permanent.

2560x1440 doesn't even require HiDPI support really. Just increasing the font sizes is enough. The Ubuntu Unity desktop has abstracted away that in a single slider for a long time. Apparently the next GNOME version is going to go all the way and do non-integer scaling of controls as well but in my experience that's just a small benefit, just tweaking up the font sizes is more than enough.

Yeah, he was young and stupid, but how many of you even considered doing such a thing to your employer? Yeah, he built a huge business based on it, but it's still built on thievery and deceivement.

No matter how many seemingly good things he does, he is still a thief (by my moral grounds, of course, not by law)

the cost of GDPR is almost null for new startups. I provide infrastructure (and tech advice) for data analysts and data scientists (mainly, i also have DL and Blockchain projects) and only one project started last year needed more than a day worth of work, mainly because the infrastructure with both Hadoop and Elasticsearch was weird and the dev who put it together was gone.
Surprisingly, both engineers on the 2560x1440 are happy! They run Ubuntu with a second screen at their desks (27” 2560x1440 external monitors). I’m actually the one that’s unhappy because their font size is too small for me to see when pairing ;)

BTW I think 2560x1440 may not be high enough to technically be considered HiDPI?
> some traction on HN as everyone is trying to figure out: "Do I need to do something for this? Is so, what?"

If you are big enough to have to worry about this you are probably a company with plenty of resources to think and comply with this. So it's hard to imagine how many readers of HN are getting their answers on HN (or similar). If you are small time nobody is going to come after you. Sure something could happen and you could also get a traffic ticket going 57 in a 55 zone and a host of other outlier events.

As for speaking (for me, that was - and still is - the hardest part), I'd try to find native speakers to communicate with.

I agree that if you're moving the goalpost to just take-home salary being in the global 1% is less meaningful. Someone with no assets and a $20k salary in NYC is dirt-poor, but if you've got that salary in say Morocco you're relatively rich.

But in your earlier comment you mentioned property ownership in some of the most expensive markets in the world, which is entirely different. That implies that you own hundreds of $K of an easily-sold asset, and you're only "poor" to the extent that you're unwilling to move.

As I noted the same could be said about someone with a penthouse in NYC. If they own a big part of a $10 million dollar house and struggle to make mortgage payments they're poor by this narrow definition, but of course that's an absurd way of looking at things. They can simply cash out and move somewhere else, unlike someone who's actually poor.

Being rich and having expensive tastes doesn't make you poor, it just makes you selective.

Still, to address this specific example of yours. Even someone who's struggling to get by in an area that's in the 1% of income worldwide is in a much better situation than someone who's struggling proportionally as much (when adjusted for purchasing power) in a much poorer country.

They're going to benefit from better public services, their kids will go to better schools and have better opportunities etc.

I think once you account for all of that the picture isn't going to look significantly different than if you'd just have looked at salary with no regard for local purchasing power.

I've got an early 2015 MBP and had it for a few years now.

Usually I buy a new laptop every 3-4 years and save money each month to put torwards it, but I can't help but think that as the next upgrade looms, do I really want to spend £1000+ again on one of these things? Especially now that the latest line of MBPs seems to be pivoting further and further away from what you would normally expect from the 'Pro' line of products.

My biggest bugbear right now is memory, and maybe this is just my own failing of not being judicious enough about what things I have open or how may tabs Firefox is running, but I feel even 16GB just isn't cutting it anymore.

It feels like laptops have been on a ceiling of 16GB of RAM as an upgradable option for years and I'm not really sure why, is it just the power consumption/battery life that's a concern?

Yeah, I could even imagine a scenario where you help connect people to real-world goods and services for free; the provider of those goods and services would be more than happy to help keep your bills paid, assuming there was some kind of mechanism that would drive people to their goods and services and not a competitor.

What would such a mechanism look like?

"Mark was a different person back then" would be much more believable if it wasn't for the fact he deceived users in 2011, has recently used his privileges as CEO to delete messages he had sent, and repeatedly tried to cover up the abuse of their api in 2014 (even going to far as to threaten lawsuits against the Guardian journalists a few weeks ago).

One thing I did when I came to the US was to have no pride and to invite and even insist on people correcting my English. This can be really annoying and often embarrassing but I think it stopped a lot of mistakes really early before they became a habit. I see a lot of people who have been here for a long time making really bad mistakes and nobody tells them. In general Americans are very hesitant to give direct criticism so it takes a while to find people who are willing to play that role.

I had a lot of problems understanding people for a while and there watching movies and listening to radio helped.
>If you are big enough to have to worry about this you are probably a company with plenty of resources to think and comply with this

You'd be surprised. GDPR is vague enough and just open to interpretation enough that there are many different companies interpreting it in many different ways. I'm a consultant and I talk to many multi-nationals and all of them have their own spin on it. Especially around the "except when necessary for security purposes" section. That right there is broad enough that "security purposes" can mean almost anything as long as you make sure your security team has access to that data.
