Honestly, just find a local tutor. The money you'll spend on subscription to apps, you're better off meeting a tutor once a week for 30/45 mins and taking it from there. Bad habits can be picked up easily, especially as an adult learner.
The joke is an explicit rejection of that particular trope, though.
Can you give some examples of why this would be useful?
> Stuff [...] all combine to give you a certain amount of dependent types in Typescript but also a very rich way of doing type level computations [...].

I think this is a wrong use of the term "dependent types". For example, you can't write this in TypeScript (yet):

function concat<alen: number, blen: number>(
a: ArrayOfLength<alen>,
b: ArrayOfLength<blen>,
): ArrayOfLength<alen + blen> {
return [...a, ...b];
}

Sure, you can have a type-level object that corresponds to the numbers and use the type-level expression to compute the equivalent of alen + blen, but they are not dependent types. You have just shifted values to the type level. The type-level expression is awesome---but not because they are dependent types.

TypeScript is also not a typical type system you can compare with others. Most famously it is intentionally unsound [1], meaning that it can mostly but not entirely prevent a certain class of runtime errors, because it can't guarantee the behavior of external JS code anyway. Most static type systems are or at least try to be sound because that's what users expect them to be: preventing a wrong code beforehand. Dependent type systems are complex because they also want to be sound. TypeScript has an entirely different goal for a reason and you can't compare it with other type systems not sharing that goal.

So in the past I read something similar. It's similar business but for Africa: https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/23/connecting-african-softwar...

Then something similar showed up again. But this time the business is for Europe, Asia and Latin America: https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/23/youteam/

Then I joked with my friend: "Maybe you should build something similar but for South-East Asia." (We live in SEA.)

Then the similar business showed up again today but for Middle East and North America. So I guess it's about time when something similar shows up but for SEA (or other parts of the world). :)
Surprised that EXRX exercise database[1] has not been mentioned as a page with similar goals. They have been around since 1999, and the site is a gold mine for everything exercise related

Darebee video library is good as well [2], and the site contains a lot of useful material. And the visual design is really good.

> would mandate one specific kind of mitigation

I agree that's bad. Far better to specify the goal, not the process.
I think you partly misunderstood his comment. Basically instead of time we can look at it as a change of states, just a linear process. There is no time. If you place something on a table (in a perfect environment with no decay) you can't tell how much time it sat there. It could have sat there for 1 hour or 1 million years. It just didn't move and no one tracked the "time". Time is just a concept in our minds to track changes in space (or state of space). Special relativity I think doesn't contradict this. It just says that the "speed" of the state changes (e.g. you go from A to B) is relative. But this speed can't go negative. There is no trace of previous events where you could go back to.
This feels like an unnecessarily flippant/semi-hostile response.

> I would prefer to buy a new car from a "tax exempt org"

What does donating to an organization have to do with buying a car? (Hint: nothing, and you're arguing in bad faith.)

> But you do not get to make demands about how that dev structures his personal finances either.

Nowhere did I do that. All I'm saying is that I'd prefer to donate to projects backed by a tax-exempt org. If the developer can't/won't do that, that's their choice, as it is my choice to decide where my donation ollars go, based on whatever criteria I decide.

It's not (just) a staffing shortage, it's that due to both the shutdowns and generous federal handouts people have been working less while buying more crap than ever.

I hope they also block American accounts because of what they have done... all over the world.

I’m sure Biden will restart all wars in the Middle East, will use Twitter to send messages to justify them (or lie about them), and Twitter will do nothing about it.

I'm pretty sure what you've described is essentially a tax-evasion money-laundering scheme, and I'm sure the IRS would frown upon it.
Oh wow, the TinyPICO is awesome! Back when I was hacking on the ESP32, this form-factor was uncommon and very expensive (a single guy on Tindie sold them). How is the antenna performance? I'm suspicious of anything that doesn't have one of those Proant thingies.

EDIT it even has 4MB PSRAM! Very, very nice.

EDIT2 ok it does have a Proant antenna, and its 20$, so not that cheap. But ok for what you get I suppose.
> The label heads told MPs their cut from streaming was a fair reward for the risks involved in developing artists, recording, marketing and distribution.

Smooth, but also a juicy lie because:

Labels haven't paid for new artist development since Napster was shutdown. New artists learn their craft on their own dime and record their first (or more) album in their bedroom. There is no cost for marketing or distribution with streaming.

Recording costs are subtracted from artists' payments by labels.

What the label head deliberately left out is that new deals are "360 deals", meaning the whole pie, where the label gets additional revenue streams: streaming royalties, live performance, merch and often Patreon (pays the rent for a lot of artists) payments.

Regarding the £37 for 1 million streams, that would take some forensics to unravel. But factors are if Numan doesn't own his masters, what the separate songwriting credits are, and that US streaming services operate with legal rules that disadvantange artists when paying for streaming.

The artists who've done well at capturing value are Steve Vai (self-managed, as advised by Frank Zappa) and Joe Bonamassa (dedicated boutique artist mgmt.) It gets real thin after that.

Source: I know Youtube music artists and have done the math with them. I tell them not to sign label deals (be their own publisher), and as a result they're all cash flow positive while following their artistic vision - with no lawyer surprises.
My interest in ReScript is that it doesn't aim to add more features to JavaScript, it's a completely different language which has a JavaScript-like interface and compiles to JavaScript.

It's a statically-typed functional language from the ML family, which is a huge deal. It implements a completely different approach to code, even if it looks similar.

It's currently academical, "ivory tower," but in my opinion it will trickle into industry. Someone described ReScript as ECMAScript 2030.
I used a Wemos D1 ESP8266 in this project [0]. Plenty good for the project at hand. I heard they have an ESP32 version now?

For one-off personal projects I'd probably still reach for a TinyPICO or FeatherS2 though because of the additional features they have, and that they have a Discord server you can ask questions to, but if you're deploying a dozen of them in your garden and want to save money then yeah, the Wemos would probably be a good bet. Support and documentation is a little sparse though, in comparison.

A significant part of my SO’s business (interior architect) is based on introductory chats with clients on different platforms (namely Instagram, WhatsApp, iMessage).

Did you guys solve custom features such as “replies to a specific message” (all platforms), or “stickers” (WhatsApp/iMessage).

The last thing I want to do is to go check my phone every time I receive a sticker from a client, to get more context; it would beat the purpose of Beeper.

30% distribution fee is standard across so many things. Steam, AppStore, and it looks like Spotify as well.

Seems like the ones losing out are those that are signing record deals, giving over 41% (or 54%? The %s don't add up to 100 in the article,) to a label who... Just puts them on Spotify?

Spotify is in a good position to cut out record labels by working with artists directly.

It comes down to what kind of people are in the positions. If they are kind of people that only care about numbers not amount of metrics will change that, if they are strong leaders with vision they usually have their custom ways of dealing with metrics.

I don't know about the rules in California, but in most places you're not supposed to go back to work for at least a week if you've tested positive regardless of your symptoms. This is to prevent further spread, of course.

It's quite likely that most of the workers in question aren't worse off than with a "normal" flu, but they're still going to be away from work for a while.
The time-travel paradox arises only if you presuppose the existence of free will: if we don't, and just consider human beings as physical objects acting deterministically, then there can be no paradox: the time traveler will simply do what was already had been done in his past.
The thing about this "self-correction" is that nobody, but nobody has a mechanism to explain this force. Not how it works or worse yet, how it will know how to self-correct. What particular force decides that the friction on some surface will briefly rise and cause the gun to jam? How does it know to do that?

In all of the paradox-forbidding time travel scenarios, nobody has ever mentioned anything deeper than "Well, uh, reality just won't let that happen." If I right now posit that each time travel scenario spawns an intelligent angel whose sole job it is to dash about a closed timelike curve invisibly nudging away paradoxes through minuscule miracles of improbability, that's quite literally more than you'll see written about in these situations.
End-user price may not be an accurate reflection of production cost. Do both receive the same amount of subsidies, for example?
Under the “Raspberry Pi Pico” subheading it says ”Raspberry Pi Pico is designed as our low-cost breakout board for RP2040. It pairs RP2040 with 2MB of Flash memory, and a power supply chip supporting input voltages from 1.8-5.5V.”

Every single oscillating particle needs to travel more absolute distance when speed increases, so it will oscillate with lower frequency for the external observer, thus causing time dilation.
The uncomfortable truth is that it's learning the bias of people in it's dataset. As mentioned by another comment, when a muslim does something you may find many articles on that event but if it was done by a white supremacist in comparison or any other citizen you may not find as many news articles.

You'd be surprised but a larger majority of terrorists attacks in the last few years are done by white supremacists.

I haven't had any major issues with the antenna, although I've only really used it around my home Wi-Fi. It occasionally blips and I have some reconnection logic for that but overall it's been fine for indoor use. I have a DIY smart lock and DIY smart thermostat (that literally sit over the real lock and real thermostat -- I rent my apartment so I can't change those out) running off a TinyPICO each and they've been doing fine as far as the Wi-Fi connection goes. They just run a HTTP server on my LAN and I can set the lock and thermostat states with a simple REST API. (I can't stand the complexities around interfacing with Google Home and Alexa ...)

I also used a TinyPICO's BLE interface to connect a phone with a motor driver for a mini telepresence robot [0] though a TinyPICO was probably overkill for this use case. My thinking was really just future-proofing it in case I wanted to add more stuff to the robot.

BTW the Wi-Fi only seems to support 2.4 GHz. No 5Ghz.

Not the parent but just to clarify:

The ability to install non-store extensions got completely removed on Firefox for Android and there is (AFAIK) no hint at whether it will ever reappear. That's pretty frustrating and clearly not a win in internet freedom.

Store extensions can be used if you create a Firefox account and use their Nightly, which is really hard to justify, IMO. To me it looks like they wanted to push their account numbers and I have great difficulties to find any potential hidden greatness in this policy.
Extra/complimentary suggestion to that: when the mouse cursor hovers over a muscle group further to the 'red patch', have a pop-up small text box with name and brief description of the specific red-ed part. It would be fun/educating for the regular folk (like me, who doesn't know each muscle group and/or their names) to just 'browse' the human body and see the name of that muscle group and what it does.

Edit: on the parts that are not a muscle group (e.g. face, "love-handles", feer/hands, 'throat', etc.) maybe paint them grey so they are visibly distinguishable from the 'muscle groups'. I was veri curious to see if the 'love-handles' region has any use apart storing fat.

A Computer Programmer finds a frog by the side of the road.

The frog says, "I am actually a Princess! If you kiss me, I'll revert back to my human form and be forever grateful?", the programmer smiles and puts the frog back in his pocket.

Again, the frog says, "But I really am! I would even marry you if you kiss me and turn me back into a human!", the programmer chuckles and puts the frog away again.

Ten minutes later, the frog says, "Look, if you kiss me, I'll have sex with you all day, every day. Deal?", the programmer laughs and puts the frog away again.

He gets home, takes the now severely depressed frog out of his pocket and sets it down in an aquarium. The frog looks up at the coder and says, "What the fuck is wrong with you man? I offered to marry you, I offered to screw you, but STILL you won't turn me back into my human form."

The programmer says, "I'm a programmer. I don't have time for relationships, or sex - but a talking frog? SO COOL!"

Right, but the real question to ask is whether we really have to put up with this update treadmill in the browser landscape when the web is now approaching 30 years of being in existence. After all, HTML was supposed to be a vendor-neutral document format with links and to work like, say, MP3 where a player/decoder can be used with any new material, rather than a be-all/end-all technology where browser updates seem more frequent than content updates.
That's a perfect way to phrase it. Thanks!

"Frontline" ran an episode some years back where they investigated some dental clinics that did astonishing numbers of unnecessary major dental operations.

It turns out that the government had a program that paid for these operations when performed on poor people. So the clinics would convince their customers that they needed major dental work, then would do the work and bill the government. The clinics were totally specialized just for this.

"Frontline" pinned the blame on the clinics, sort of "how could the do that". Of course, they're right. But blaming the clinics doesn't work, because the actual problem was the government set things up so that the rise of clinics to exploit the rules was legal and inevitable.

You're now faced with the problem of crafting a bureaucratic rule to define a "necessary" major dental operation. Of course, it's impossible, and the same problem as "management by metrics".
