Sure! I think Duolingo is fantastic to learn basic sentences and vocabulary. To reach A1/A2 proficiency, Duolingo is absolutely amazing in my opinion (I can only judge it for French though).

Once you go into the B1+ area, the usefulness of Duolingo starts to fall off, slow but steady - learning grammar and conjugations in all the different tenses isn't its forté. I think it's still very useful for repetition and constant exposure to the language, but without content outside of Duolingo, I'm not quite sure if it would work out so well.

For me personally, YouTube has been an amazing learning source for French - there are a lot of channels out there with tons of high quality teaching videos. If I had to name one, "Learn French with Alexa" is probably my favorite, but for a lot of topics it's very useful to watch multiple videos from different channels on the same topic, both as repetition and also because sometimes having multiple, slightly different explanations helps.

Since a few months, I do visit a weekly French course though - self study brought me only so far; reading already works quite well, listening so-so (depends on the talking speed), but I have a hard time speaking myself. It takes a very long to find the words, but the more I have to talk in course the better it goes.

One more thing: For purely learning vocabulary, I very much recommend Anki, it's amazing to just memorize words.

Ugh, this got a bit longer than intended, hope it gave you a bit of an overview of my approach :)

What about codeplex?

For added fun, Firefox on Android doesn't even accept the bracketed form. They use a regex to determine if what you entered is a URL and they haven't bothered to add IPv6 support to it. There was an attempt, that got rejected because the regex became too slow, and then the issue was left open.
This is directly mentioned in Borges' story
> talked about benefits of it

Very terrible choice of words before this quotation, but the gist is clear and "correct". You should probably explore other traditions: you will probably be surprised to find substantially that pattern expressed in different, productive ways.
It seems to me like the article is advocating for a solution to a problem that isn’t there?

> But all technology evolves, and git is already showing its weaknesses.

Such as?
I use Anki. I wouldn't use it in the beginning, but when you're at the point that you can listen to some simple podcasts or videos or read some simple texts, then when you hear/read a sentence with a word or two you're unsure of, you add it to Anki and you get spaced repetition on that. (Don't just add lone words – although the context may feel like cheating, you want that reinforcement of related contexts.) Often I'll look up a word and find some real-world usage example too and add that.

I did use Duolingo a bit when starting out, but I felt like I didn't really remember any of the words introduced there, just learnt how to hit the buttons as fast as I could. (And oh gods those annoying animations). Pimsleur on the other hand is amazing when starting out. Then a combination of podcasts, simple stories and Anki.

I've also heard good things about italki, seems like a marketplace for 1-on-1 language tutoring online.
Ya but we do know the universe exists without any fucking clue how or why. So, it seems fine to let your mind wander a bit.
Here’s a mildly optimistic future vision for large-scale hydrogen production:

* We build arrays of underwater resonating tubes (~ 17 m for 13.58 MHz) that optimize the RF process efficiency for generating hydrogen.

* Out in the open ocean, it’s powered by floating gigawatt solarpads.

* “Blossoms” of enormous mylar cells are continuously filled up with hydrogen.

* The mylar hydrogen cells are plucked and transported for further processing via drone zeppelins.
I was commenting on this specific wording:

"We're looking for a wife— take care of my house and children, be attractive and cook"

Who is we in this context? All men?

So cooking, taking care of children and being attractive is hard-coded into the biology and psychology of women?
> Is organic/all nature food actually more nutritious and backed by science?

Yes to both. There is plenty of literature available.

Most industrial agricolture is entirely optimized for maximum yield measured in weight, not measured in vitamin content or taste or health.
You can also access the website from your phone (though it might require 'desktop mode' at this point). That's what I did when I used Duolingo if I wanted it on the go, and the experience was a lot better (as well as allowing me to type answers as you mention).
> I've moved to develop most of the time on a (time-share) beefy machine on AWS, so my "locally" is always a pretty strong machine.

We looked at doing this, but it seemed to be pretty expensive. Like, it was cheaper to upgrade a developers machine twice a year expensive.

Is that what you see or was it just setup wrong on our side?
Something I liked about home computers was the fact that you turned it on and, if there was just no media attached to it, you were instantly dropped into a BASIC console. If you had no software, no OS, no cartridge, no tape, no floppy, no disk... the machine was still useful. I missed that when I started using a PC.

Later I got to know that the original PC, IBM 5150, had such feature and the skill was simply removed as the "standard" evolved.

I think motherboard vendors should have kept this option on the BIOS. Being able to turn on the computer and have the instant possibility of writing and running code when every other software brakes is very powerful. Recovering a DOS based system was relatively easy if you had other computer available: simply put a floppy and type "sys a:" and you had a new boot disk, but you still needed other computer to do a recovery. Getting your computer to a usable or useful state without the help of another machine is something that we shouldn't have lost.
The constant iteration and revolution of basic front-end web dev makes me happy to be a mobile dev.
1) "Bad faith"

1: What other kind of faith in Microsoft would be even remotely warranted?

2) "perfectly reasonable and legitimate explanation ... risks exposing trade secrets ... a separate concern from potentially accidentally violating a license"

2 a: Sure, they may be separate concerns, but Microsoft is acting -- and you, by arguing for them, at least im- but AFAICS explicitly endorsing their viewpoint -- as if their interest obviously overrides everyone else's. Why should it? They're the ones who want to do this, so why shouldn't their code be the one exposed to any risk? If you want to test if some newfangled house-building material is really as fire resistant as its manufacturers claim, you can set fire to your own house, not your neighbour's. Also, there's only one Microsoft whose interests would be put at risk if they use their own code; but they chose to expose how many others?

2 b: For someone complaining about "bad faith" on the part of others, "potentially accidentally" is some mighty fine weasel wording. What's "accidental" about intentionally building a product and intentionally training it on a bunch of code written by others? (They didn't just randomly press some keys and say "Oops, let's see if it gets trained on our code now, or everybody else's", did they?)

3) "starts by asking 'can you". Then, if the answer is 'no, we can't', reinterprets the answer as 'no, we won't' ('withholding' is an intentional act"

3 a: The word"can" has several valid usages in English. If I say "Can you pass me the salt, please?" and you don't, then you are (assuming you have no severe physical handicap that's stopping you) intentionally withholding the salt from me.

3 b: Even if Microsoft is actually unable to provide the asked for data, the question arises: How come they are? They've built this product. Not building that traceability into it was their choice. Why did they choose not to?

If anyone is "busted" here, it seems to me that's you: Busted as a Microsoft shill.
FWIW I agree with you, but DT devs don't, which is their right to put in their free time to develop their software according to their own preferences.
I have no complaints with the technique described in Satipatthana Sutta.

How Russia Took over Chernobyl
I can imagine that editing code in a fashion similar to Google docs collaboration is the way forward. Especially if tests run continuously, giving instant feedback.

This doesn't mean that daily tests will be a thing of the past, but potential conflicts can be found sooner.

I don't know how commits would work. I feel like they would become a hindrance to productivity, but having atomic changes spanning across multiple files seems like a must for proper rollback scenarios.
I didn't say that only rich people would pay for it. I said the taxes aren't raised because rich people don't want them raised. (And rich people have more say in what government does than poor people.)

If the costs are high, then raise taxes - progressively - to rebuild these systems.
Why LD_LIBRARY_PATH is bad
As I said, others complain about break & return. Defanged to you is not defanged to others no matter how often/consistently you say so. The statement & many of its claimed problems persist. Call the remaining problems claws not fangs. Safety/clarity is also hard to quantify. Persistence+present rarity shows abolishing was not needed for use to fade.

Portability of longjmp can mean over (at least) CPUs, libc's, OSes, assembler backends (gas vs Intel syntax). Semantic hair splitting about what difference achieves "practical", what support (by who,what,when) achieves "actually" or other squishy traits adds no insight. Sorry you're frustrated, but I don't think there's anything more to say on goto we haven't both said >=1 times. We'll just have to agree to disagree on goto.

--

On a far more practical note (that makes goto analogy even more dubious and even less worth debating), one problem with this <=1965 approach that is charming you lately is uniformity of job sizes (in time). Since the block waits for the last of N tasks to finish, utilization is capped by the slowest finisher.

This "must wait for last of N" is at least part of why this has been more popular in parallelism settings like OpenMP than in network concurrency settings. As one simple, heuristic model, the distribution of the sample max is the N-th power of the distribution function. [1] So, e.g. 1/2=F^N => (1/2)^(1/N)=F => median of max(N) is the N-th root of the median. E.g., 0.5^0.01=0.993 for N=100. The 99.3rd percentile of WAN latencies can be very long indeed (and often even minimal job chunks require facing that).

Often you won't know ahead of time who the slowpokes will be to "launch those in the background". You might test "in-data-center" and have utilization crash "cross region". It might only be "intended for in-data-center" and be misused or some in-data-center host may break. In a parallel setting, maybe some data is in L3, some in RAM, others on NVMe, others still on spinning rust or across a network + any of that other uncertainty. Disparity almost always grows with N. There are mitigations (e.g. elastic parallelism to at least keep things busy if possible, multiple pools & task migration, etc.), but duration disparity can be a real problem - things that work in tests can "perf fail" elsewhere.

The point here is that complexities & sensitivities to deployments/context exist in this replacement idea that simply did not for "goto". Technical debt acquired by "total removal" could cost more than you save by simplicity in a few ways. These things are not easy to quantify. Maybe this is all obvious. But maybe not. I did not see such mentioned in any of the 3 discussions so far (in search for text near "last" "wait" "long" "slow" "idle" or "util", anyway) in over 300 comments so far.

Yes, the working conditions are earned by previous generations through their hard work for unionization and employee rights and is not something that can be taken for granted.

Maybe the parent wants the union to fight for the same conditions as Europeans now have? I wouldn't know. My experience from a Nordic union certainly wouldn't be a good take of what an union membership in Brazil, US or Japan would be like.
> People don’t want to wear glasses for long periods of time in the first place — it’s why LASIK exists.

Some people don't, but plenty of people do, or at least would rather where glasses than be blind or take a slightly risky procedure. I'm one of those people.

I've chosen to keep wearing glasses despite LASIK being a thing for 24 years now. Even my own father has gotten LASIK and I haven't.

If anything, getting into VR (I use it for about an hour a day on average, it's become part of my workout routine) has made me want to get the eye surgery more, to make putting on/off the headset more convenient.

For now I've just gotten prescription lenses for my headset, which are definitely a lot better than putting the headset over my glasses, but still not ideal.

Also, I choose to wear glasses instead of contact lenses. I did wear contact lenses for a couple years, but it my eyes dried out a lot, I left them in when I passed out on accident periodically, easy to lose, they were expensive, and my left eye really fought me putting them in. I'm far from the only person, as:

"According to the Vision Council of America, approximately 75% of adults use some sort of vision correction. About 64% of them wear eyeglasses, and about 11% wear contact lenses, either exclusively, or with glasses."[1]

Your kids will be fine, get out and live your life and be a positive strong influence on them. Think about what your kids see every day, the same things you described here. This becomes their model of a father, a family. Do you want that?

I am divorced with two beautiful teenage daughters from my current -happy- marriage and a 20 year old son from my first. My son not only understands why the divorce happened (dysfunctional relationship that made me feel miserable), but has admitted that seeing me happy and fulfilled has done wonders for his psychological development. He was 6 years old when I divorced my first wife.

There is an old, fundamental principle that you cannot inherit debts from anyone, including your parents. Instead, when someone dies outstanding debts are recoverable from their estate, i.e. by selling their assets, which includes property.

They say this is "early stage proposal", which I interpret as being fluff that will lead nowhere.
Debate shouldn't be discouraged purely out of deference to the agreed upon authority. Sometimes the random voice in the crowd can say something important.

Probably not in most cases, but this isn't the sort of place we shout people down just for disagreeing. If you disagree with them, present your reasoning, and not just "they're NASA so they must be right!".
Traditional methane-to-methanol with carbon monoxide intermediate (based on steam reforming of natural gas):

CH4 + H2O → CO + H2

CO + 2 H2 → CH3OH

Direct reduction of CO2 to methanol without going through the methane, an already established technology (Fischer-Tropsch type chemistry):

CO2 + 3H2 → CH3OH + H2O

Methanol is a common feedstock for further chemical synthesis (such as making high-octane gasoline), so this is an option for fuels from direct air capture of carbon dioxide & electrolysis of water for hydrogen. Two methanol molecules are dehydrated to form dimethyl ether (CH3-O-CH3) as the initial step:

> "Methanol can be used to make a gasoline product. The process uses a special zeolite catalyst with pore size such that molecules up to C10 can get out of the catalyst. Larger molecules cannot be made with this process; therefore, a product is made with no carbon molecules greater than C10, which boils in the gasoline range. In this process, aromatics and branched-chain alkanes are made, which means the MTG process produces very high octane gasoline. Gasoline is the only product."

> I think that's one weird thing about the software field, whereby we keep moving to these shiny new things that we think are better than the tools of yesteryear, yet in the end there is only a marginal gain in productivity.

"Thought leaders" need to he constantly talking up the next new thing so that they can stay ahead of the herd on socia media.

Developers get bored, or worry that their career is stagnating, if they're not using the new shiny. Particularly if they pay attention to the thought leaders, or they're stuck building unglamorous crud apps.

And the software industry generally has a poor collective memory of tools and practices and experience from even the recent past. Contrast with more mature engineering disciplines, or architecture, medicine, etc. I'm not sure why this is.
having used the preview for a while, when searching across all repos, it's like the standard search box you don't have to sign up for, except occasionally less liable to give you 50 matches in a row on identical files across forks

it has a few Modern Webdev™ quirks, like when you ^f for something on a result page, it'll respond to your “selection” (read: ^f highlight) with a popup prompting you to try that selection as another query, which of course will pop in and out of existence as you cycle through ^f results and i could go on but ugh

the public sourcegraph instance at sourcegraph dot com is honestly more useful. pro tip: `repo:^github\.com/.*` works as a filter. unfortunately since it's not a first-class citizen of github with access to whatever internal indexing they have, it's slower, but slow and useful is better than fast and infuriating
Yaml is nice, its a shame MS Word does not support it (with syntax checking of course) or its adoption would be even greater. It just looks nice and non coders easily get the hang of it.

355/113 is easy to remember, and/but it's decimal. In hex it's 163/71, which is a lot less visually simple.
Well that's an interesting journey, the tl;dr is simplicity wins out (a Linux VM but with their 'spin' on it), as opposed to Macos' hacky workarounds, laptops in general, or k8s for dev. In the end I feel, developing closest the environment you're deploying to is the option that gives devs the least overheadache. This isn't the first of it's kind I've read, and I'm slowly seeing the return of thin clients as a dev environment, and we might see more articles on HN along the same lines. Given the complexity of modern development toolchains, it does make a lot of sense to consolidate for ease of management.

Lawyers=Happliy take that retainer knowing you will be found guilty.

Chiropractors/Osteopaths=Subluxation does not exist, unless in a bone bending accident.

Religious Leaders=Most mouth the words, and collet the money.

My point is most people can't afford to have morals. If it's not illegial; 99% of you will follow along the money trail.

Who ever speaks up at a FANG that isn't independently wealthy when they see something slimey. How many people spoke up over the NSA?
> Firewall rules work exactly the same in IPv6 land as they do in IPv4 land.

Yes, rules do work exactly the same, but with IPv4, you just let all the connections out through, and let just the established and connected ones back.

> Indeed you shouldn't block ICMPv6, but that is not really making anything "more complex".

But it is... you need a bunch of new rules to pass through, limit or block a bunch of ICMPv6 messages.. there's a whole RFC just for that - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4890

> Is there a proven set of routers that go through the trouble of supporting IPv6 routing but not include a firewall?

Yeah, a bunch of ISP CPEs have just a single checkmark "IPv6 firewall" on/off, and some older ones not even that (i'm talking about old sagem and innbox equipment i came in contact with, not sure about other telcos and the shity cpes they give out to the customers).
It's probably mostly from mobile carriers. Thought I know Comcast runs v6 on large portions of their residential networks.
Mate of mine wants to be a writer and he baaadly needs a third party to give him feedback so I read this in hope. There is nothing here of value for anything. It's about two grouchy old men, strongly opinionated both, their oddities, and really nothing about writing or editing. It's pure fluff. I feel like I've smoke-and-mirrorored into reading an advert for a film. On the plus side, it isn't very long.
Thank you, I came here to mention Zeihan’s excellent book also. I am totally into studying geopolitical stuff while my wife generally hates these topics.

I am only half way through so I don’t yet know how good his ‘end of the world’ case is.

He does make a compelling case for the advantages that the US has in the potential for self sufficiency, but those advantages go away if we can’t control our political bigotry (i.e., democrats and republicans make sweeping generalizations against the other side with no interest in meaningful dialog - but to be fair, this is planned for easier control of the population).
Cause there are no IPv4 only CVEs
I wouldn't. I wouldn't say a human trapped in the same situation has free will either . If it could perform a variety of tasks and chooses what it performs while sustaining itself but not optimizing purely for profit and a bunch of those talk and agree to create an unemployment insurance which includes limits on self cloning i would say they have free will.
