I heard from a linguist that the best way to learn foreign pronunciation as an adult is to learn to imitate the accent of a native speaker of that language. Which of course is also a microagression, so you just can't win no matter what you do.

It makes sense, though. Trying to learn the grammar, vocabulary and phonology all at once makes you task saturated, learning them separately is easier.

Absolutely agree. I live in a 30km/h zone (regular speed in a city is 50km/h in Germany). And we have speeders every day. While kids are playing and elderly people trying to cross the streets.

What I wanted to say:

I care - and we petitioned the city to at least have marked parking spaces implemented with big flower pots on every side to at least reduce the speed people can go here.
A Review of OpenWRT on a Raspberry Pi 3
I don't think it's simple. I find lifetimes especially challenging. I love rust, but sometimes I am remarkably unproductive in it because the compiler is so strict. Honestly, sometimes I think I need flash cards for memorizing how to deal with particular compiler errors.
Oh thats so not true. The Brandenburg (the state) Ministerpräsident (like Gouverneur) and his team really like to be a big car producing Bundesland. We have Baden-Württemberg (Mercedes, Porsche), Bayern (BMW, Audi) and Niedersachen (VW HQ) and to some extend also NRW (biggest EU plant of Ford) and Sachsen (VW plant). But there is not a single plant Brandenburg. So to be in the game is something they really wanna happen. Especially with something that hyped like tesla. But still there are rules, and you have to follow them.
Chisel's being hooked into the Java / Scala tool chain give makes setting up automated verification pipelines much easier:

- You can use SBT or MVM to pull in dependencies

- You can wrap up designs as .jar files

- Powerful testing tools like QuickCheck come ready made

None of the above is rocket science, but simply by being there things become easier.

without knowing anything of the
industry, tools,

It's pretty difficult for a student to find out about what is actually used in industry. The semi industry's secrecy doesn't help. But software and hardware people really don't even have a shared language, and misunderstand each other's abilities and pain points. The very term "verification" is understood quite differently between the different communities.
Now, could you attach a retractable solar balloon to a sailplane, in order to get it off the ground on its own power?

What about a lifting body shape, like a manta ray?

Could you flap its wings to provide thrust? Like this, but matte black:

https://youtu.be/c3-wIICjAhE

Though, you can't have the wings collapse just because you entered shade... How do we get the best of both worlds? Maybe long rigid sailplane wings extending from a larger blimplike body?

You'd need to do something to maintain an aerodynamic shape for the balloon even when it was "collapsed". It'd be nice if that could happen passively (say, just using an elastic material), but that might "fight" inflation too much; maybe active control would be needed, say of some struts or cables internal to the balloon.

With some effort I feel a new recreational vehicle may be possible. Probably you'd want it to be classified as an ultralight, so anyone could fly it.

Not an easy design challenge though.

Maybe a solar powered sailplane with an electric prop would be simpler.

I'd still love to see a more elegant, lower-tech approach though.

Actually: What about pedal power?

Hm. Now we have three ideas to unify: Gliding, solar-thermal lighter-than-air, and human power.

There aren't enough keys for that, especially with the many digraphs that exist. It's simply far more convenient to say type <kya> and receive <きゃ> than some method to enter the small <や>.

The standard method of entering <ん> with either <n> or <nn> depending on context is silly, however, and I simply have it on the otherwise unused <l>.

Chinese has this idiom 入乡随俗, meaning in other people's land you follow other people's custom.

It is a culture of us to make the hosts feel comfortable by giving ourselves a name of the hosting country, though of course some Chinese chose not to.

A french friend who worked in China for a long time gave himself a very nice Chinese name 欧大壮, literally Europe, Big And Strong. It is a very down to earth Chinese name.

He was liked instantly when he introduced his Chinese name.

It is hard to design good API:s that can last for decades. Just look at Java, language that is backed by large international corporations but the Java standard library still sucks. PHP core is a much smaller community driven project.

Key to great APIs is battle tested APIs in real world projects, finetuned over years of experience. PHP has that in the much larger general PHP community and to access it you use composer.

We, the PHP community, must use all resources to compete with other languages, it is unrealistic that the core PHP team can implement a great API, for example we can look at the filter API, it works but it is not great. PHP core also has longer release cycles.

We need to push PHP developers to use composer more, maybe the PHP docs should state that.
Actually, that's not too surprising, given that a lot of technically minded folks start digging into their craft in their early teens. I think that it's only natural to get most of your accomplishments in at a relatively younger age, when your independence is at its peak. Like, say, once you become a husband and father, there's no time for anything any more.

> A lot of it is meant to sound wise, without any specifics.

This unfortunately applies to most of the popular advice in our industry. You could argue that "meant to be wise, without any specifics" is a requirement for a meme to get picked up and recognized by a large enough mass of people in order for it to become viral.

Consider if you can apply anything in SOLID in an actionable way. None of it is actionable, except LSP. It's meant to sound wise, without any specifics.
> It's easy to read, isn't?

pub fn try_join<A, B, AR, BR, E>(a: A, b: B) -> impl Future<Output = Result<(AR, BR), E>>
where
A: Future<Output = Result<AR, E>>,
B: Future<Output = Result<BR, E>>,

Come on... "A", "B", "E", "a", "b"??? Naming stuff like this is the standard way? I mean, if I know nothing about what the code does, and I find this kind of function, I'll start swearing right away.

Also, the function only does:

TryJoin::Polling {
a: State::Future(a),
b: State::Future(b),
}

Which is clearer and shorter. Why even writing a function signature like that? It's longer and more complicated to understand than the code itself! I don't know much Rust, but since a semicolon is missing this is just a return value, right?

So why not?

let res = TryJoin::Polling {
a: State::Future(fetch_thing("first")),
b: State::Future(fetch_thing("second")),
}.await?

PS: I don't want to criticize, and I'm not a Rust literate, I'm just amazed with its complexity.

Not just entertainment or global expansion - lots of companies are hesitant to promote even domestic sales.

There are widespread psychological safety/emotional security issues that effectively sets whole corporates in “deprecated / not accepting new orders” state. Everything is for existing volume customers only, local or foreign.

I’m guessing it has to do with salaries and pension plans; average income is steadily declining, and Japanese retirement plans are long said to go bust at some point. One headcount less when “it” happens should it happen is extra couple bucks to you, one mishaps on your resume is couple grands leaving your hands. Briefcases full of cash from guys you’ve never met is nothing, even if you are told it could save the corporate.
For some context on the company sharing this: Socionext is the name of the 2015 merger between the semiconductor companies of Fujitsu and Panasonic. I worked for a test house at the time and regularly tested Fujitsu's stuff for them. I remember being surprised that two big name companies would just scrap all of that brand recognition for a cheap sounding name.
I have a German last name that not even my family pronounces “correctly” and myself didn’t learn the “correct” pronunciation until I studied German at university. Most other Americans butcher it, Germans get the German pronunciation right but never the way I grew up hearing it.

My opinion is just call me what you want as long as I know to respond to it.

It's the official Microsoft stance that torrent software is considered PUA (potentially unwanted application) on Enterprise. Perhaps they're expanding that to consumer versions? They define PUA very vaguely, with rather disturbing language. Phrases like "safeguard productivity" and "help deliver delightful Windows experiences" are not what I would expect in security software documentation:

Our PUA protection aims to safeguard user productivity and ensure enjoyable Windows experiences. This protection helps deliver more productive, performant, and delightful Windows experiences.

Microsoft uses specific categories and the category definitions to classify software as a PUA.

What you’re saying absolutely makes sense. The difficult part is that it requires intentional habit changes and quite honestly, a grieving process at the same time.

As someone who grew up while the Internet was just getting off the ground (mid 30s), I remember the absolute joy of exploring the net, and for the most part, it could feed me as much interesting content as I could stand. I felt this reverence for it, like I did for great libraries.

It’s not really possible to use the Internet that way any more, and that sucks. Yes, it’s still a gigantic library, but the ability to explore unbounded is no more, at least if you want to avoid the problematic parts.

And this is where the grieving part comes in. Your advice to use the net more carefully/intentionally is good, but is also a stark contrast to the way things were. It makes me sad.

I'd like to see a BBC that is independent of the government, ad-free, and cut loose from the need to chase viewing numbers. I don't know how to get from here to there.

The TV licence is one of those anachronisms that should have gone away long ago. There's a wild mismatch between who pays and who benefits even if you accept the principle. And as you said funding through general taxation would be less regressive anyway.

I don't see a big problem with setting that up. It requires an Act of Parliament that establishes an arms-length public body to run the BBC, which it more-or-less already has in practice anyway, and a budget, which can then only be changed through a further Act of Parliament. That's as "independent of the government" as you can ever get under our legal system, but at least any attempt to change it later would require active steps by the government at the time that would immediately attract attention and could be resisted in both Houses of Parliament if they were inappropriate.

Thermal neutrons are slow neutrons, which have a velocity and kinetic energy similar to those of atoms that are in thermal equilibrium at the ambient temperatures.

When the neutrons are generated in nuclear reactions, they have a very high kinetic energy, but after many collisions with the matter encountered in their path, they lose most of the energy.

After they have become slow enough, so that the likelihoods of losing or gaining energy in collisions become similar, they are considered thermal neutrons.

So a "young" neutron is a fast neutron, after some time it becomes a thermal neutron and eventually it decays into a hydrogen nucleus (proton).
> instead of just 'banking' it.

From my understanding, Zakat will apply to any asset you use to bank things. Let's say you run a grocery store. Long lived items that are not sold after 1 lunar year will have Zakat apply to them. They're treated as money basically. Similar with land or property, if you're not doing anything with them, just banking them, then they get treated as money. Hope that makes sense.
> you think is unique because you are English-language speaker

I am a native English-language speaker, but I speak other languages as well. In all languages, there is exactly zero expectation that speakers will pronounce English words like English-speakers do. Because in all languages, foreign words are remade into native words. As it had been in English until the mid 20th century.

>And if you mean the names of people/places/movies/etc. how can you not be corrected?

Not sure what language you speak natively, but no one corrects Italians for saying "Germania" instead of Deutschland, nor Spaniards for saying "Nueva York", nor the French for saying "Angleterre".

I have a hard time to take seriously any disinformation talk from the political and media establishment after the lab leak theory twist, where it had been shameful disinformation, until it suddenly wasn't. I have to be doubting publications even from reputable sources, after "The Lancet" fiasco, where the organizer of the open letter that condemned the lab leak theory was discovered to have ties with the lab in question, and some signatories confessed they'd signed it only because Trump had been promoting the theory. I can't help feeling that the recent war on "disinformation" is not waged in good faith. And since I have not so much trust in the alternative media either, I feel as a reasonable person I am easentially left in the dark.
What was accepted as the norm earlier and even now, needn't necessarily continue. We could actually beseech people to cease contributing to overall harm. We've seen this in so many social improvements over the past decades.

I recently watched “How to Become a Tyrant” and they mentioned a NYT reporter in the 30s, the Moscow bureau chief IIRC, who was more or less bribed by Stalin* to write articles denying people were starving in Ukraine. He even won a pulitzer for the “reporting”. I don’t know that it was the start of “the decline” of the New York Times (and full disclosure: I subscribe) but the WMDs weren’t the first egregiously wrong reporting.

Searching for anything relating to NYT and Ukraine obviously gives a lot of more recent results but I found this Huffington Post article[1] that I think has enough background to point you in the right direction if you’re curious to learn more. And I think this[2] is the journalist’s wikipedia article.

Edit: It was Stalin he had a very friendly relationship with, not Lenin.

Given that you seem to know this space, I have been wondering: Was there ever any major flaw in an important mathematical proof that was taken as a given, and subsequently plenty of papers building on that turned out to be wrong as well?

This is a very factual article explaining how to become a grandmaster, but I feel like it needs a disclaimer:

I know that Hacker News likes the idea that if you work hard enough then anything is possible [especially when there's so many easily available resources], but when it comes to becoming a grandmaster it has to be said that it's painstakingly hard. If you actually intend to become a grandmaster you'll essentially have to make your full life be devoted to chess for years. We're talking about making it your full-time job for at least 10 years. Yes, that's how hard it is. Today there are countless of IMs (the title just below GM) that has played since they were small kids, won a bunch of tournaments when they were teenagers and yet they realize that becoming a GM is so much work that it's not worth it.

If you like chess, then play chess! It's a fun game with an amazing depth and a huge player base. But if you're just starting out: Please forget about having "becoming a grandmaster" as a goal.
I meant that you can't get an apple-to-apples comparison on different states' commitment to energy efficiency if you don't break energy consumption up into different categories of usage. It's also important to consider sources of energy: All else being equal, I would rather a state shut down coal power plants in favor of building or importing renewable electricity, instead of keeping the coal while reducing consumption. (They can do both, but in terms of priorities I'd go with switching to renewables first) These are the important details of consumption patterns that we have to focus on to keep moving forward. Are they pseudo topics?

I also don't think the world's temperate zones are large enough to facilitate everyone living in climates that have minimal requirements for heating & cooling. Also many areas that require a lot of energy for heating also require very little for cooling, and vice versa: another reason why consumption details are important when evaluating these things.
