Using -e isn't an excuse to not understand how it works and when it doesn't. It's so that the default in most situation is to exit on failure as that's likely what you want to do. That leads to more terse scripts which hopefully are easier to write correctly and understand. I'd argue that opting in to exit-on-failure for stand alone commands is the right default.

Maybe I missed it but this doesn't state how to find French speakers to converse with. If I, say, live in England, how do I find people who will happily help me practise my French? In my experience speakers that you meet would rather just speak English than help you understand them.

Many years ago I studied French intensively and got to the stage I could read and write quite well and understood some fairly advanced grammar. But I couldn't even make the most spoken basic requests, let alone have a conversation, because I had no exposure to the spoken language. I had done a lot of what the author suggests here in terms of listening (some French films are excellent, by the way), but it's not enough.

One thing I'm quite certain about is techniques that treat you like a baby are really inefficient. That includes Rosetta Stone, Duolingo etc. It's just way more convenient to learn much of the grammar using your existing language skills. Practice with people who can speak your current language and your target language, as the author suggests, is ideal as you can get them to explain what they meant in your language. There are certain fixed phrases and figures of speech which would take a long time to learn like a baby, plus the faux amis will trip you up if you're not careful.

In the first paragraph he says "without any formal programs or immersion" and a couple of lines below says "by spending lots of time talking with fluent French speakers". Isn't this the best type of immersion someone can use?

As a big believer in immersion I don't think there is any other way of learning languages other than immersing yourself in it..

I’m studying too mostly on my own for about 2.5 years. I can read a most characters I see in the wild, though that still leaves enough that understanding the text is hard or impossible. OverallI find reading much easier to study than listening. I haven’t used DuoLingo and would recommend HelloChinese instead. But that’s only a few months to half a year of material; you have to move on. After that I used an Anki deck of HSK vocab.

Are you reading anything? Find graded readers like from Mandarin Companion and read those (start with ones that seem too easy).

Have you learned to write any of the characters? I don’t think you need to learn to write all of them, but learning at least 50 or so got me to understand and recognize the characters better in my reading as well.

The Pleco app is a nice reader letting you look up words just by tapping on them. Also turn off pinyin in any study apps you’re using, just use characters (except for in answers to verify you’re right).
I'd compare Rust more to C++ than C. It's a bit higher in terms of abstraction, though still relatively transparent about what happens. It avoids doing anything implicitly, so when a value is cast to another type or memory is allocated it's visible in the code.

It's not a fun language if you want to experiment or move quickly as the type checker might act as a brick wall in those cases. But as it prevents a whole class of bugs that are related to the majority of security exploits I think it's a pretty good choice if memory safety and performance are the main priority.
It is also because the developer experience on a mac is a disaster when you have to use docker (and can't do it in a VM).

Isn't individually targeted comprehensible input a large part of a 1-on-1 class? I would expect a good teacher to speak a lot during those 2 hours, and to properly adjust his speech so that's always pushing the boundaries of what the student can understand.
FWIW, I am not against the death penalty. It makes much more economic sense than life in prison (it costs ludicrous amounts of money to house prisoners per-annua) and as someone who has done prison time my personal opinion is I'd rather be killed than face the mental agony of living the rest of my days in there.

I'm not sure why so many people are against it or think it's inhumane. I think it's a bit silly considering most people who hold that opinion have never been to prison.
From some russian sources I’ve read that Chernobyl has been taken by Belarus soldiers, not russians. Because Belarus guys are sensitive to anything going on around Chernobyl and want to secure the site.

That seems unlikely to work. Russia will probably just attack because it can and will just deny it even in the face of undeniable evidence.

I'd like to point out to OP that most of his/her listed limitations are also limitations most french native speaker have. Cultural differences from one area to another influence the way french people speak a lot (I guess it's true in a lot of countries though). I sometimes don't understand half what my in-laws say, and we were born like 100km away from each other. This goes beyond colloquial speak like argot (which is mostly parisian anyway) or verlan. It's basically words from local dialects (like provençal, basque or breton) that became part of some kind of accepted local french variant which is for everyone involved just french and nothing more. The local variant aspect is not really blatant until someone from outside points out he/she doesn't understand a word that until then sounded very...basic to everyone else. The word for "mop" for example has like its own variant in every region.

My point is: your limitations are a proof that you understand french almost as well as a native speaker that never really left his/her hometown. Which is impressive.

> But a legacy of the reformation was the fracturing of protestantism into multiple competing strands, many of which rehearsed more and more atheistic principles as they diverged from the 39 articles, at least in the english speaking world.

This is wildly different than what I'd wager most scholars would say. And I think limiting yourself to the english speaking world is such an enormous change in scope that it becomes almost meaningless to refer to it as "The Reformation." I'm not a historian, but my wife is. Her era is a little before the Reformation but she teaches a course on it. Religiosity both among protestants and catholics in both personal and institutional life increased for ages following the Protestant and Catholic Reformations. I do not believe that this is a controversial statement among scholars.

The Quakers cannot be taken to be representative of Christendom in Europe. They were the weirdos (as seen by the bulk of Europe) who fled to the New World in no small part because of the religious violence and persecution they faced in Europe.

> I would argue there is no good evidence of a counterfactual of an enlightenment like the one we have emerging in a world without protestantism in its current form.

Professional historians tend to hate counterfactual arguments because they cannot actually be attacked with evidence. This is the realm of lay speculation.

"The enlightenment as the victory of secular reasoning over religiosity" is also a statement that I think most scholars would have trouble with, but I'm less familiar with the field here since none of my historian friends actually work in this time frame in europe.
I feel like there's probably a pretty big difference in how it feels between voluntarily going into solitary for 48 hours by your choice, only for 48 hours, and being in there for months (or years!!), with no known end.

There's also a big difference between "ruling out it's use entirely", and having hundreds of thousands of people in it every day.

Visual Studio is the way to go.

Years and years ago I worked in a very sophisticated geospatial support application in C# with the back end in ASP.NET and the front end in Silverlight.

My take on ASP.NET was it had the most advanced templating system I ever saw but the mechanism used to make components (that look like an html element) that had both front end and back end behavior was terribly flawed because it was not compatible with what people call a ‘model view controller’ architecture which more importantly lets you decide which view to render based on what decision the controller makes from processing a form.

There was ‘ASP.NET MVC’ which was nothing special and threw the baby out with the bath water in that it didn’t support the really unique features of ASP.NET and was just another bad framework written by systems programmers who never coded up an application.
Too bad but luckily I don't really care anymore. I de-googlified myself some time ago. My email is fastmail on my own domain, I don't use Google's cloud services.

As a user of both and others (we have legacy couchdb applications for instance), I agree with some others here; Postgres is not handy for querying. Maybe some extension will be made for that in the future, but for now I see them for different use cases.
Sure, the systems are similar enough on kernel level (and I also want to run macOS on my M1 iPad Pro 11", the SoC is identical to M1 Macs :)) - but then the user would have the hassle of getting an external touchscreen to work with a keyboard-oriented computer. I think that Apple's multitouch implementation helps a lot to make iOS/iPadOS as comfortable to use as it is right now. An external touchscreen, possibly connected via USB, will probably have higher latencies and maybe also less precision.

I can't imagine using i(Pad)OS with mouse and keyboard only right now, though I know it's possible.

This x100. I switched to neovim+pylsp a few months ago, and it's been an absolute delight. I use lspconfig [1] and pyslp [2] since most of my time is spent developing Python code. Not only can I navigate more quickly and easily, I also find myself catching more silly errors before run-time due to better linting from the lsp.

It used to be that I wouldn't use vim beyond quick edits on single files. Although I still prefer to use vim style bindings in IDEs, I can go much further before I feel the need to fire up an IDE in the first place.

These were two different things.

In the kind of world that preppers dream of, they are the “rulers,” because they hoarded the goods, and have the weapons.

What would actually happen, if someone spent more than thirty seconds, thinking it through, is that a few badasses (probably organized crime), would take the stash and the weapons, and kill the preppers, if they even hinted at a fight. This is what already happens, in areas where the rule of law deteriorates.

In countries with strong social infrastructure, we are more likely to see people helping each other, as opposed to themselves.

BTW: Japan doesn't have much of a meth problem. You can buy damn good speed, OTC. I think that the Philippines have a pretty bad meth problem.

> at the point my impression is that Rust is the consensus best overall systems programming language (assuming you’re starting something new). Is that just me or so others share that perception?

I think I'd probably agree with that impression. It's the route I've taken into "systems programming", and I don't regret it at all. The big advantage of going Rust-first for me is that C and C++ have so many unspoken rules that you need to follow in order to avoid security issues and hard to debug errors, whereas Rust codifies most of those as compiler errors. That makes it a lot more accessible for the beginner to learn not just the basic syntax, but a best practices and good habits.

C and C++ are still the mainstream at the moment, but I think they've peaked and would expect their popularity to wane over the next 10-15 years. On the other hand, Rust has only just hit the mainstream in the last year or two, so there's still a few missing pieces and adoption is not yet that high, but I think it's by far the best intro low-level language overall.

Fantastic. The audio (as suggested by Knuth) is a nice touch. If people don't like it, they can easily mute.
That's closer to mastery of a language than merely having 'learned' it. To me something like B1 is a much more important threshold, since it's the point where you start to be able to use a language in an uncontrolled environment. Obviously becoming more practised and fluent is important but to me that's a less important difference than being able to use the language for more than some predefined scenarios. If only because it allows you to learn unsupervised.
My dad commuted to his office somewhere in Midtown Manhattan in the 1980s. One day I was rummaging through his briefcase and found a steel baton. I asked him what it was for and he said it was to protect himself from the bad guys.

As a kid I distinctly remember being somewhat afraid whenever my family had reason to go into NYC from our home in NJ.

I know he's controversial, but that fear subsided at some point during Guiliani's term. Yes I know today he seems to have become a total crazy loon, but I highly respected him as mayor for making large swathes of NYC feel safer. And yes, I know some people loathe him even for his tenureship as mayor.
That doesn't terminate my curiosity.
I took 5 years of french in high school and really loved it, so I leaned into it heavily and read novels in French, etc. I felt pretty confident in my vocab and grammar, and I even had a decent time reading some of the Old French stuff from classic novels (I disliked my English teacher and loved French, and since English class at that point is less about the language and more about literary analysis, I asked if I could read the books (where the original was in French) in their native language, and she could hardly refuse such a reasonable and intellectually curious request! So anyway I read Madame Bovary and L'Etranger and a few other older books whose titles escape me).

And on the more modern side, I could read French newspapers quite well too.

But at no point could I ever reliably make out more than the gist of what an actual French speaker, speaking normally, said. We have two Belgian exchange students and I struggled to understand them, and just watching French video content, similar struggles there.

I don't know if it's like this for every language where native speakers just talk really fast and there's a large gulf in comprehension speed for learners to close, or if it's something specific to French, but I know your pain here.
It is definitely the last one.

>Last, using swift as a weapon against Russia could hurt long-term American interests. America holds sway over international finance thanks to the dollar’s dominance and its pre-eminent role in global settlement systems. Further politicising swift would give China an incentive to bolster cips, its rival to swift for cross-border payments in yuan. It would also help China court any country with uneasy relations with America looking for alternatives.

I would imagine there are additional politics in play with disabling SWIFT. I dont how many countries will need to agree before shutting down SWIFT access, if it is at the will of US it would be more like a semi-nuclear option.

Although I am already surprised by CIPS, one eighth of transaction volume of SWIFT is not "well behind". From many POV this already seems like a battle the west are clearly losing.

Yes, I checked and in the chat window you can get a list of participants. I'm watching the (non-Ukraine) stream but not in the participants list, so I assume you have to actually say something in chat.
I wouldn't put too much value in those phone-calls. It was the same with Covid rules, you got different responses based on exactly who you'd call, confusion all around, and authorities contradicting each other.

It also says that you can enter without any kind of passport at all, according to international refugee rules. But you might be handled different, liked being forced to go to a refugee camp (don't know).

One great example of this is the Gumtree site[0]. The social media share buttons at the bottom only load in when you hover over them (with the placeholder being Gumtree-styled social media icons).
