duolingo (back when I used it years ago) also made it pretty difficult to even get questions wrong. They seemed to shy away from questions where I had to type in the answer (ie come up with the translation out of my own head) when I was out near the edge of my knowledge in favor of multiple-choice (ie they give you the translation but you pick it out of a couple wrong answers)
I'm not sure why you're being so aggressive about this. I don't claim that this makes it any better. I don't claim they're not there. I'm just making the observation that the characterization "youtube runs a lot of crypto ads" isn't really universal; it's based on who's viewing it. It's not a defense of youtube; it's an observation about its nature, neither positive nor negative. Apparently you vehemently disagree with this observation, and I'm not sure why.

Please reread my original response without emotionally inferring a bunch of stuff I'm not saying and tell me whether a response of "No." is really warranted.
I have been using parcel for web development because I thought webpack is very difficult to use. However, for my latest personal project, I tried webpack. To my surprise, I found webpack 5 much simpler to use then I thought it is (significantly easier than make or gradle, the complexity is not even on the same level). Everything pretty much worked out of box now. All I had to do was to copy the starting template for typescript from their website (~20 lines, half of which are open/closing brackets) and copy the setup for dev server. HMR, code splitting via dynamic imports, etc. all worked without any setup.
The author could be right, but I'm skeptical. The model described is always-online, yet SCM like git is very deliberately distributed so you can work offline.

Industry uses both the centralized and decentralized features. Just because I want to configure team permissions doesn't mean I want to be blocked if the network is down.
On a local link, if you know the ipv6 address of one machine you can guess others by getting their device ID (MAC address) and then modifying the known address. So you can use neighbor discovery to find the other MAC addresses to craft the IP addresses.

I think you can also take advantage of router advertisement or client solicitations somehow but I’m not familiar with the details (i.e. passive listening on multicast vis a vis broadcast)
The first oxidation step, from an alkane, like methane, to an alcohol, like methanol, is always the most difficult, i.e. the least likely to happen spontaneously.

The next oxidation steps, from an alcohol to an aldehyde (formaldehyde in this case), then to a carboxylic acid (formic acid in this case), then to carbon dioxide, are much easier to initiate.

So doing the oxidation only up to methanol, without losses into more oxidized compounds, is not likely to happen in the absence of a very selective catalyst, like in this case.

Meta: I know that official Google Research content (e.g. their AI blog) redirect to the `research.google` domain, but maybe there should be a special rule for the `colab.research.google.com` subdomain, so that it's more obvious that submissions are coming from a Colab notebook.

(don't get me wrong, it would be very funny if Google started using AI to generate summary images for webpages, given how haphazard their Featured Snippets text extraction can be)

> Seems like they can’t block me from selling

Waaaay back in 2000 I bought shares in lastminute.com which was at the time pretty much at the height of the .com boom.

Great move on my part (not).

There was no way for retail investors to dump their shares quickly IIRC as you needed your paper(!) share certificate in order to be able to sell. Institutional investors were able to dump their holdings quickly, us suckers were stuffed.

"Lastminute became a symbol of the dotcom boom and bust as its shares hit a high of 511p after floating at 380p in March 2000, only to slide as low as 80p a month later"[0]

I have the share certificate kept safe as a reminder not to be so stupid again.

Simultaneous Chess
compared to rolling out IPv6? definitely, especially on the longer term.

For instance, most Core/Edge routers (my experience is mainly with juniper MX series, but i assume the model is roughly the same for other vendors), you need specific licenses or interface card's to do stateful services like NAT.

Compared to doing IPv6, which is "just forwarding packets" and doesn't require the hardware to track state in nearly the same manner.

Most serious core/edge hardware vendors also do not put IPv6 behind licenses compared to CGNAT and other NAT-like features, because packet based forwarding is the most basic functionality a router should provide.

Routers which are able to do less state, also are frequently far less expensive.
Thanks, that’s where I’m leaning. It does seem like some investors were able to sell immediately based on social media posts. The price even had a nice pop after listing. Would’ve been nice to catch some of that before it started a long trend down.
People always parrot that advice as if it’s a fact, when there are ample counter examples out there in the world.
> For whom? — this is for anyone interested in getting smarter, learning more, and not being a closed-minded oaf.

The best way to learn isn't to ask questions, but to make bold statements and then listen carefully when people correct you. People put in much more effort to tailor their explanations to you personally when they try to convince you that you are wrong than when they try to teach. The only drawback is that people will prove you wrong from time to time, so only people who aren't afraid of being wrong can do this properly.
True. As an ISP you are gonna need an IPv4 stack no matter what. Even if that stack is CGNAT'd up the ass. I can't even ping news.ycombinator.com or amazon.com with IPv6.

That is the biggest problem with IPv6. Who is gonna be the first ISP to shut off their IPv4 stack? There is always gonna be some random website that is IPv4.
I encountered this behavior at many meetups and conferences.

One good trick is to ask people to make their questions as short as possible.

One speaker asked to use up to 8 words per question (and he actually counted the words and rejected the long questions;)

Another speaker had a list of pre-submitted questions, and he deliberately ignored long questions, and only answered the short ones.
This is excellent! The frontend ecosystem in general has been very stagnant for years, without much innovation or experimentation. Great to finally see a new library for frontend development come along.

It usually happens when you do two or three lesson in a string, never seen it on the first exercise of the day.

You are repeating the feedback "...when you click...".
Get rid of the click. Landing page should say what it does. If the author doesn't know or accept feedback on this website 101 topic, I doubt they revolutionized much elsewhere.
A small creator doesn’t need a lot of money to sue a big corporate entity that infringes their work because (1) the statutory penalties for copyright infringement are intentionally high and (2) lawyers will take cases on a contingent fee basis if there’s a reasonable chance of winning.
This is super cool. When I was in college I used a breadboarded Z80 with an FPGA to build a really simple video game system with VGA output and a Genesis controller for input. The schematics, source code, and project write up are still on my home page (http://trzy.org — near the bottom). I should probably throw it up on GitHub.
>> that, on to get rid of leetcode. people already went to college and that should be enough.

I don't like or do LC interviews, but even if (a big IF) college prepared you for programming, a LOT of professionals don't study development or even attend college. How would they get into the industry? Take 2 years off later in life and attend college?
It's pretty key for my use case. And the absolute revolution in that space came from Big Data analysis on hours upon hours of voice samples from people asking real world questions.

Sure, even if homicide rates == mass shootings, that’s still worth talking about why they are different in the Americas than developed European countries? Any major negative difference from a peer country is discussion worthy. Note I am not arguing for a specific remedy, I am arguing that this issue isn’t overblown relative to rates of male breast cancer or whatever else due to the absolute number of deaths, but because the difference in the number of deaths per capita suggests possible known solutions worth considering the trade-offs of.
Reiterating from memory of his lectures on YouTube:

- The Russians consider some nine-odd geographic boundaries of the former union to be crucial to defense (e.g. between mountains and deserts, certain ports). Without fortifying there, a lot of the Rus land area is open and hard to defend. Interestingly, Ukraine contains only one in Crimea (which they already had) but is on the way to ones in Romania, Poland, etc.
- With the fall of the union, there was not only a baby bust but also the collapse of technical training programs. The "demographic cliff" means that not only will the army half in size but, e.g. the rail lines and electric are also in danger.
- While Ukrainian resolve and EU unity were a surprise to even the US, he also sees a leadership failing not unlike the Chinese one - authoritarian that drives out opposition too harshly also drives out the people in the room that push back on bad ideas. FSB had intelligence that overwhelmingly, UA would accept occupation?

Does it have equally good data as WeatherKit? I vaguely remember that yr.no shows raw ECMWF data. WeatherKit probably provides weather.com data, which are postprocessed from ECMWF and perhaps other models and they provide the best forecasts.

The main issue with raw model data is that they are not adjusted for local altitude.
It's not enough to just validate the tests: you would also want a tamper-proof record of exactly what source code was actually built. Probably also the full environment. 99.99% of the time this will be irrelevant trivia, but that one time you need to know, there's no substitute.
It feels like this big struggle and effort to end up with another jquery in a few years because in the end that's what works and feels right
I doubt there's much overlap between the people working on IPv6 and those working on getting Starship off the ground.
Piggybacking off your Anki mention, I'd like to continue to spread around something (currently only of interest to people learning Italian or Spanish) that I've been up on lately. A guy came up with a wonderful (and monolingual) deck format for people who are learning Spanish or Italian to use the old-school method of learning Latin where you learn all verb conjugations by rote first and get them (and tenses/moods in general) out of the way. Then you can dedicate your language learning time to acquiring words, sentences and colocations (i.e. interesting stuff) rather than repeatedly and incompletely relearning the verb mess, leading to permanent blind spots.

He also surrounds the verbs in mock clozes, so you get hammered with context. You can also do it without doing anything else; the Romance verb situation can be isolated from the rest of the language completely. At least for Spanish you'll eventually need to know what common subjunctive triggers are, that they'd rather use the present tense (with context) than the future or past more often than you'd think, and other stuff that's an order of magnitude simpler to remember than those damned verbs. If you need to know irregular vosotros conjugations in subjunctive future, you've already got them in your head.

China's new regulations requiring Printers to design and develop in China
> On June 28, the controversial author, clinical psychologist and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto lost access to most of his Twitter account features because of a tweet he posted earlier in the week that used transgender actor Elliot Page’s former name and suggested he had his “breasts removed by a criminal physician.”

Then later:

> According to Twitter’s hateful conduct policy, users may not “promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.”

It's quite a stretch to equate using someone's given name and alleging criminal activity with promoting "violence" or "directly attacking" or "threatening" someone. Twitter is being arbitrary, as is their right.
Most logical statements are uninteresting stuff like summing long sequences of integers, so now we have to sift through a heap of junk AI theorems hoping to find something interesting.
Oh, thank you for your contributions! Mobile, we're planning a RN app (site is MobX/React), but we got our hands full at the moment (who wants a job?).
TTS, I used to be of the opinion that TTS is something that should be kept far away from langauge learners. But, it got so damn good: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...
At least for many langauges. Didn't check the German much, interesting. For Hungarian, it screws up question intonation. But often it just seems completely human-like.
I was concerned about the license for the audio recordings, and I assume recording quality could be mixed, but I'll take a more careful look.
Am I missing something or is this just a run-of-the-mill phishing attack? If it is, then every website under the sun that doesn't use a FIDO or WebAuthn is susceptible to it. How is this any different?

In fact, Google has a very similar 2FA option where you can simply press a Yes/No on a mobile device you are already signed into, in order to authenticate another device. None of the this PIN stuff is going to do much to reduce the odds of phishing.
no way. i learned german through immersion, then tried to learn the much simpler Spanish via Duolingo.

key problems:

1. not enough speaking practice. speaking is _at least_ 50% of the skill but about 10% of DL.

2. Waay too much time spent setting up each question w animations etc. not enoimugh learning time. much more repetition is required.

3. way too general learning. people have varying needs for language. e.g. work, travel, family, research/reading. teaching must be tailored to these.

Does the field of economics use simulations like this at scale?

It seems valuable to simulate all international trade, asset markets, supply and demand, employment, etc. to make predictions. It could also lead to better ideas to prevent or quell recessions by focusing attention on the correct levers.
I find it really funny that the word "javascript" doesn't appear anywhere on the entire first landing page. You have to click into "Why Vite" and then about 1/2 way into the first sentence, then you see "javascript"

I was wondering "exactly what kind of front end?" C? C++? Swift? iOS front end? some kind of GUI framework? Windows app development?

Modern day Javascript web ecosystem is a nightmare.
A good way is to refuse to give money to such services, which being unable to access them, dovetails nicely.

Incidentally this also makes torrenting safe, and everything on Netflix can be downloaded via BitTorrent.
My experience is quite different. Pre-pandemic I used to use Duolingo on my public transport commute and I had it more than once that I reached my daily goal only to notice the next day that it hadn't registered properly. This happened quite regularly and with my free account I could only have one streak freeze, so I occasionally lost my streak because of this.

Another issue that caused me to lose my streak is when Duolingo says: "Sorry we encountered an error. Don't worry your streak will be safe." In my experience my streak was not safe.

I don't mean to be too harsh with Duolingo, I think they get a lot of features just right. The streak thing, however, was just an annoyance for me. These failures made me temporarily quit several times. Even if you know you should not become upset about stupid internet points it still hurts when you feel it is not your fault.
Giving more people easier access to debt is a recipe for disaster.
Right, that's essentially my understanding of it (...but it'd be nice to think we could break through the next barrier as we did at the beginning of the 20th C. with QM).
Same. It's very underwhelming for now.
OP has no idea what is possible in CI when you integrate intelligence about your compiler/linker into the build executor and run it massively parallel. CI isn’t going anywhere bc parallel cloud execution will always build faster than your laptop. Less time wasted and less heat on your lap. BigCos are already doing this (some for over ten years) and running laps around garden variety CI. They are investing more in CI today than ever because the assumptions the OP made are incorrect.
Easy: political corruption masquerading as incompetence and bad luck, since our leaders have absolutely zero accountability, so they have no incentive to actually do anything right and can instead represent the interests of various businesses and interest groups using your tax money, and once their political career is over, they can get on the payroll as execs or consultants by the same business they helped get rich using taxpayer money.
A mainland invasion of Taiwan would require preparation on a huge scale, think D-Day scale but in a age where every inch is under constant satellite monitoring. It would be known many months in advance...
I'm also a developer and this is a terrible overstatement. My company sells a product that isn't particularly hard to understand, and our www site makes it pretty clear what we're selling.
That's what CGNAT provides a temporary solution for.
It also doesn't work on popular web hosters that don't allow to change the web server configuration (like Github Pages).

Please take race out of it, you're just perpetuating the predjudice that anyone not white is poor. Which just hurts non-white rich people when in situations around rich white people. It will make them feel like they don't belong which I'm sure is not your intent

I know your sentence means well, but something to keep in mind.
I don’t think your first assertion is true. Hundreds of thousands of accounts have been created. I think the DAU is in the low thousands.

It’s the only social media I use, and it’s a ghost town. We have to live in the world that is, not the one we wish were.

I used to have a Twitter follower count on my niche little tech/privacy account that is higher than the DAU count of the entire fediverse.
It goes to the debt holders first. Shareholders get wiped out.

Would plaintiffs in a lawsuit come before debt holders if their claim is based on shares they couldn't exercise?
haha good point, perhaps a better solution is to have 2 separate helmets. One for track days (where 155MPH is legal) and one where i would need google maps xD
They would enlist, go to war, and assume the identity of a fallen noble officer.
And it's not like there was a 180-day lockup.

There's a lot of good advice on here. Personally, I'd continue engaging with the firm interested in a class action, and as someone suggested, find another lawyer for a second opinion.

If nothing comes from this, I'd think of it as the company was desperate, so it was either going to be picked up for cheap by PE or go public via a SPAC and all the shadiness those come with, so this was the expected outcome at this point. Those paper gains would have been hard to realize.

The same could be said about IPv6. I think the point is that IPv6 scales better with traffic increases, to the point where switching from CGNAT to IPv6 becomes financially attractive.
Haven't read the book -- I assume WWI had a lot to do with it?
Yeah, well, I learned on a real 8 bit microprocessor (6800). It has about 40 instructions, all are simple. It's quite a dopamine hit to run your first program on an embedded system and see it working. It felt like being Master of the Universe!

(FPGAs did not appear for another decade.)
It's pretty disingenuous to equate a RyanAir pilot with a student, which speaks to the misleading nature of comparing these statistics straight up; go look at what it takes in terms of training, experience and seniority to get to one of those higher paid pilot jobs. Now compare it to software development. 36k is less than minimum wage in Canada ( < $2K CAD / month); junior developers are easily making 3x that in their first role.
Its mostly impossible to run servers only with IPv6 since for some reason Canonical/Ubuntu decided to require IPv4 for snap, after years of not having any issues with IPv6 only deb mirrors.

Go is also basically bound to IPv4 since it depends on github to pull packages

its time to make hall of shame for software that does not allow developers to build IPv6 only going forward.
Interesting point. I actually find it annoying/redundant in the car, but never thought of the benefit if I were to use it during motorcycling! Thanks for the tip.
Over the course of history, Russia has been invaded 50 times, so they're pretty touchy about that regardless of how peaceful things look at the moment. With their current borders, they have no real geographic barriers. The Soviet Union had pretty good barriers (mountains and such), needing to guard just nine passes, which can be done with relatively limited troops. They currently control just one of those passes. Taking Ukraine restores their control over two more, and provides a base to go further.

Meanwhile, Russia has horrendous demographic problems. Their fertility rate dropped to something like 1.2 children per woman when the Iron Curtain fell, and hasn't recovered. So now their military-age population is aging out. They're not going to have the population to defend Russia with the borders they have now, and right about now is when they start losing the ability to invade countries like Ukraine to expand their borders.
Came here to say this. I reread it every ten years or so and each time I find something new in it.
