Speaking of language learning, I wish Duolingo could come with leveled readers. We build our intuition on languages only when we see words and phrases used in different context. Somehow it's hard to find good Spanish readers, compared with ample readers in English. I was trying to read the reading materials for the Mexico first graders (https://libros.conaliteg.gob.mx/primaria.html), oh boy, there are just too many new words for me even though I was at Duolingo Spanish unit 5. I used to use a reader called America Today. The book 2 talked about all the natural wonders of the US, and the book 3 talked about the America society: a day of supermarket manager, a day of a big city, and etc. The difficulty of the book was so well arranged that I had no problem progressing through it, and I had no problem with English grammar or day-to-day vocabularies after finishing the series.
Not debating any of that; originally thought the comment above mine was wrong, looked at the stats, and found they were far closer than I assumed.
Skilling up to architect: What you need to land high-paying IT roles
You get credit card rewards? Greetings from Europe.
It'd have to be part of the checkout flow for customer certainly, so either the payment processor or card network would have to make it happen since there are so many issuers.
It’s also debatable whether an elite firm would lobby to create further growth, or simply entrench their market position.
Webpack is probably fine for new or small projects. It's when you've been using it for a while, do anything complex, or worst of all your framework libraries update then you have to update Webpack which is a nightmare.

Ive had Webpack break more of my deploys than any other piece of software in the last 3 years.

Vite was basically a plug and play replacement (almost zero config) and I also got to drop Babel, so that meant replacing about 12 packages in my package.json and who knows how many in Yarn.lock (Mostly babel and webpack plugins) with 2 vite packages. It's much faster at builds and the chunking of small js files seemed more intelligent and better integrated with Vue.
What walk-though? That's an hour of people sitting on a couch and talking.

I wanted to see how they did wiring and plumbing.
> The baby had the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck. Stillbirth

Do you have another source which is saying that? This article says:

> Paramedics arrived at Latice Fisher’s Mississippi home to find a baby in the toilet, lifeless and blue, the umbilical cord still attached. The child — roughly six pounds and more than 35 weeks along — was rushed to the hospital, where it was pronounced dead.

> Fisher, a mother of three, told paramedics she had not known she was pregnant. But she later admitted to a nurse that she had known about the pregnancy. And after she voluntarily surrendered her iPhone to police, investigators discovered that Fisher, a former police dispatcher, had searched for how to “buy Misopristol Abortion Pill Online” 10 days earlier.

It may have been a case of the woman earnestly not knowing she was pregnant for months (don't laugh, this happens with very obese women) and thinking she had just recently gotten pregnant. But it doesn't say anything about a nuchal chord.
I love that Duo streak is hard to lose, unlike other apps where if you miss a day streak is gone. The goal of app is to help you keep learning. In life things are bound to happen because of which you might miss couple of days or more, it make no sense to penalize you for that. I have been trying to maintain streak in other apps but I when I miss a day, I am not motivated enough to go back and start again. Also, streak is only one gamification point in Duo, it's ok if it isn't perfect. Leagues, stories, medals provide enough motivation to keep making progress. I have tried to learn french multiple times and nothing made me stick to my learning routine like Duo has. It might not teach the language to hold a conversation, but I like how much progress I have made reading front.
>For example, who wouldn't want a system that forces banks to track customer balances in a secure, private, and auditable data structure?

Crypto doesn't force banks to do that.

Also, if it was a real problem, there would be legislation for it since RSA became a thing.

And if it was, having a 3rd-party timestamping server and regular cryptographic signatures would be enough to solve it. No bank in their right mind would burn terawatts of power to prevent an error that has a 0.00001% chance of happening and costs virtually nothing to fix.
These in particular remind me of "Baba Is You", which is probably not a good thing for an API.
Not exactly, but it is similar. I've found that people who focus on asking questions usually are more ignorant than people who make statements and learn from the following debates. In a debate you are more involved as you both try to understand the other side and try to make up arguments that are convincing, this is extremely efficient for learning. In addition debates is a good way to find errors you don't know you make, questions can't help fix unknown unknowns, it only helps clear known unknowns, while the bold statement method helps bring up and clarify lots of unknown unknowns.

Some think that internet arguments are a waste of time, they must either do it wrong or they don't realize how well it works. The most important thing is to not go into arguments you know you will win, you don't learn anything if you go through the same argument over and over so just don't do that and instead focus on things you don't already know well.

Also I don't feel that these arguments are off topic either, you learn a lot from just watching others argue, that is the main reason I prefer reading forums over reading articles, as the forum has people arguing with each other while articles are mostly just long monologues.
This was implemented a few years ago. IIRC it was when web workers started getting popular.
This is why I just roll my own and don't use frameworks like React. I've been building and rebuilding apps for clients for 15 years, so basically have my own ways to spin up an app within hours. Yeah, I still use jQuery for some things, who cares if it works?
What happens when the customer doesn’t pay? The way I understand it is they don’t have enough info to refer me to the credit bureau, so do they send $79 or whatever to collections?

Does anybody know what ties Lummis has to these firms, other than they are Wyoming based?
You really need to look into the history of currency of you truly believe any of this.

Currency is worth something because other people are willing to trade it for something useful at a stable exchange rate. Now, having a central bank that controls the currency, and a government that enforces that control, can help protect the stability that gives that currency value in times of economic instability, but that's only occasional interference.

We know this because, in the past when states were weaker and less able to do this, huge swaths of people ignored their state currency, more or less, and used other states' currencies, ones that were more trustworthy (counterfeiting used to be a serious concern) and stable.

Even today there are countries where people are in practice using the US dollar as their currency, ignoring local official currencies, simply because the dollar is recognizable and its price is extremely stable compared to their official legal tender. How does this square with your theory that the dollar would lose all value overnight if the US government stopped requiring it?
I believe Visa is moving in a direction where they will be integrating installment options in the conversion flow.

When I looked into it, it seemed to be a small-scale trial-- a handful of merchants and a single card issuing bank-- but I suspect the point is to define and bulletproof the interface before throwing it out to the world.

It makes sense to me: BNPL is a feature, not a product, in the payments ecosystem. No consumer wants to say "Well, I can only shop at merchants X, Y, and Z, because only they accept the BNPL platform I want to use." and no merchant wants to say "let me integrate with 25 different BNPL platforms each with their own API gremlins". If you end up with four monsters of the market-- one from each major card brand-- that's probably worth it for the volume each one can provide. It also likely means that they'll turn into things you just see as add-ons for popular shopping carts and payment modules. Maybe the "embeddable card entry form" your payment processor offers suddenly sprouts a new field to show BNPL plan choices.
Choosing between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is a completely different matter. You choose whichever you like, and you can verify yourself that the software follows those rules. There's no chance that users wouldn't converge into their chosen blockchain, because both forks follow the longest chain in their forks.

You assume that the community somehow can agree which chain is the correct one in proof-of-stake. This is not true because there's no longest chain rule. Without an authority, users would never be able to converge into the same chain, after a split has happened.
Dailies are great for getting you to come back, but losing a streak can be enough to make you reconsider your life and never come back; especially when you were doing it out of habit and not really "into" it anymore.

This has already happened 3 times, and it will keep happening. The dynamic is more complicated than what you're describing.

Crypto isn't a big MLM. Crypto is a family of technologies that make it possible to easily build MLMs.

The analogous thing in traditional MLM is the internet or mail. The difference is that the internet is much more valuable as a technology than crypto. That doesn't mean crypto has 0 value though, it's just that the internet is one of the most valuable things humans have created.

I remember there was an animation series about "Gummi bears" which definitely cultivated "gummi berries" (with magical properties that made the bears act gummi).

I wonder if there's a connection / reference.

So Windy.com recently added some more data (click Additional Data/More Data on the side)

One of them is CO2.

In my heavily forested area it reads 79 PPBV. I'm confused because I've always thought we're in the 300-400 PPM for CO2. But if I got this right, 79 PPBV converted to ppm is .079ppm CO2... No? I was expecting a higher number. Something wrong about the V here in the number, volumetric meter I am assuming?

if you click around in the metro areas around the country it does read what I think is 200-400ppbv as expected.

Maybe somebody here can explain: What's the difference between ppbv and ppm?

One thing I liked about this Supreme Court decision is that it pointed out that part of the EPA’s unconstitutional new rule was a cap and trade system for CO₂, which Congress has tried half a dozen times in recent years to implement. Congress wasn’t able to find a system that satisfied enough people to get it passed, but the fact that they were trying so hard is proof that Congress did not think that this authority had been delegated to anyone.
my point was a clarification of a joke made.

Op said his mind was blown by the idea that they'd be ok with scamming people from outside the country but not other Israelis which I then drew a comparison to slavery which had a similar restriction. that was the joke.

besides, 7 years of slavery is still slavery.
But when you make the switch you’ll discover that you don’t need any of the config because it’s all pretty well up and running out of the box.
Methanol has a surprisingly low energy density. Here's a comparison with other fuels:

- methanol: 20 MJ/kg
- ethanol: 30 MJ/kg
- crude oil: 42 MJ/kg
- gasoline: 46 MJ/kg
- methane: 54 MJ/kg

Currently the world ships about 400 million tons of LNG per year. To get the same quantity of energy, you'd need to ship 1 billion tons of methanol.

It does not automatically follow that methanol would be a bad alternative to LNG. Even if you need 2.5 methanol tankers for each LNG carrier, overall their cost could be lower, because they are simpler machines. The transportation cost would be probably higher, but transportation is not a huge component of the price of energy (it's just maybe 2%). The storage at the receiving site would be much simplified. Maybe the loading and unloading would be faster, even with the 2.5x multiplicative disadvantage.

But overall this 2.5 lower energy density is still a very unpleasant aspect of the methanol as an alternative fuel.
The key is to ask, "Who is it that is having this experience?"

All worlds, real and imaginary, all meditations of any technique, all are distraction.

Who is it that is having this experience?

From this POV mediation is the practice of discerning illusion from being. E.g.:

"I have a body but I am not my body."

"I have emotions but I am not my emotions."

"I have mind but I am not my mind."

"I have will but I am not my will."

As you discern and give up attachment to subtler and subtler aspects of what had seemed to be "you" something great happens.

The key is to ask, "Who is it that is having this experience?"
> by using BNPL you forego 2% or whatever in credit card rewards, so you’re effectively paying ~8% annualized for a 3-month term.

I love your chutzpah, but you don’t get to do that math that way. The 2% doesn’t compound, it’s a one-time thing (unless you’re continually rolling over your BNPL purchases)

You’ve basically proposed an absolutely horrible solution, for both the end-user and the ISP. Something tells me you haven’t actually done any actual low level network engineering, and just brush all this off as “how hard can it be”.
Umm, yes? Prosecutors have been using search history and text messages as evidence for a long time. If you're in a jurisdiction where abortions are illegal, there's no reason to think they wouldn't also be used as evidence.
That has happened to me literally hundreds of times in my life. The real difference is my stocks aren't SPAC scams, so I'm not playing some pump and dump game needing to sell at the perfect moment, and then crying foul when a scam within a scam didn't go my way.

edit: I'm posting too fast. So my reply is here.

You didn't orchestrate the game. I get it. But your moral compass is clear when your first instinct is to try to recoup money stolen from SPAC investors for yourself, rather than for the retail investors who were actually harmed by it. You in no way were harmed--you had a couple hundred grand in stock before the IPO, and a couple hundred grand now. You're just mad that executives and Hedge Funds got to scam people and not you. That said, I wholeheartedly endorse you going after them. But go after them like a wolf, not a sheep.
SwiftUI looks promising, but it is not ready at all. It is fine for 'toy apps' but if you want to do anything serious UIKit is unbeatable.

I think it will take few more years until SwiftUI can get to feature parity with UIKit.

Technically not ‘AI’ though, more based on music theory ‘rules’.
This fits my use case so perfectly! I have a very small internal app taking care of organizing seminar talks, calendars, email announcements, recordings of the talks, and signups. It is a single python file of less than 1500 lines and an sqlite database. This library is so perfect for taking care of scheduled events. Everything else I have found is ridiculously over-complicated of a solution.

I find that SwiftUI is fantastic for small, self-contained views, that don’t have any complex custom behaviour, and don’t deal with navigation logic. For anything more complex that that, I’d strongly urge falling back to UIKit

For our local area, it was actually trivial to develop a better weather prediction algorithm. We're not looking to build something for the whole world, which would be very difficult. At this point, I'm just trying to sort out the tech stack for the website, now that we have our prediction algorithm figured out. We'll of course optimize it over time, but even our v1 blows weather.com out of the water.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but what you write is both very interesting and very confusing.

The 'difference between well-financed and in-debt' is very clear and to-the-point, this is excellent writing.

The long 'if you consider this, if you consider that, post-Westphalia' paragraph in the beginning is not. Could you perhaps summarize the first part? What exactly do you want to say? How do 'customer loyalty programs' and 'Industrial Loan Company affordances' and 'privatized UBI' and 'replaces credit cards' fit together? How did Westphalia slip in there? I am quite convinced there is a coherent idea here, but your writing fails to communicate it. Or at least it failed to communicate it to me.
Stuff breaks. I fought this fight a few years back just to educate myself, and the mere presence of IPv6 on the network, DHCPv6 addresses being handed out, AAAA records being returned from the local caching DNS, etc... made all sorts of software loopy. One I remember in particular was that if you hit a default openssh configuration from the local (!) network, even on a link-local address, it would try to do a RDNS lookup and take 6 seconds or somesuch to time out.

I remember a coworker telling me about a TV that would request and accept a DHCPv6 address and then fail hard getting to the internet. Wifi router firmware likewise messes things up, etc...

It frankly just wasn't worth the hassle. Mobile networks that can control and enforce the full stack have been able to make it work. My guess is home/wifi environments will be IPv4/NAT until the end of time, frankly.
Technology from the cryptocurrency world can be used to force banks to do that.

RSA alone isn't enough. How do you use RSA to build this? You can do auditable sums (prove that private balances sum to a public total), but I can't think of a way to do things like proving that a particular debit happened.

> costs virtually nothing to fix.

There is very high system-wide cost to the status quo. Part of the reason that bank errors are so inexpensive to fix is because transfers take 2-5 days.

Those are all made up narratives by random media outlets.

From the beginning there was only one true narrative: "Abolish central banks". Because they are at the core designed to enslave humanity. That is why Bitcoin is created. It was always an attempt to solve a political problem with technology. Not more not less. Will it succeed? I hope so.
I found Parcel and Snowpack years ago, before Vite, because I knew an integrated and ESM-based system was the future.

Both were incomplete and buggy, both had tool combinations that they just couldn't handle. I've forgotten the details but from the tickets I was reading, I doubt that's improved.

Vite solves all of that, it's incredibly easy to work with and I never have problems with it. For a fairly esoteric frontend situation, too.
Context is important.

We're talking about Disney the multi-trillion-dollar corp holding copyright for countless works for decades after the original creators died.

Yes, in this case, resounding yes: the longer you hold on to something, the more you have to pay (exponentially, if possible).

I doubt anyone is really arguing that a creator shouldn't benefit from their works.

Mickey Mouse is almost 94 years old now. Guess what. Brothers Grimm published the 7th edition of their tales in 1857. The last of Brothers Grimm died in 1863. Walt Disney released Snow White in 1937, Cinderella in 1950, etc. But sure. Do tell us how we are not allowed to do anything about Mickey Mouse
> Well I kind of like the dogfooding of all the build tools for JS being written in JS - why introduce a whole new ecosystem here?

You might find this answer helpful, about Rome which is like Vite but in Rust rather than Go [0], crucially:

> This justification -- Rome should be written in JS otherwise Rome users are less likely to contribute -- irresponsibly focuses on a secondary goal of the project, at the cost of the primary goal, which is to be a end-to-end toolchain for one of the most popular languages in the world.

Speed matters. It is not a sideline consideration, it should be one of the main considerations, over and above a tool being in the same language. In fact, many say that rewriting JS tools in non-JS faster languages will be the future [1].

Your hypothesis is plausible, but as you have said, whether it is true or not depends on the order in which the availability of iron for each of its many functions in the body becomes affected when iron is scarce.

Cytochrome C oxidase needs not only iron, but also copper. So any symptoms caused by an iron deficiency to it, presumably a decrease in the capacity for aerobic effort, should also appear in the case of a copper deficiency.
I don't think you're being sarcastic, but this is where web applications are already. You can do this with the browser as the sandbox.

Most of them aren't really zero interest.
Not necessarily. For example the “737 Next Generstion 800” is just known as the “737-800”. In some contexts it is further abbreviated to eg. “738”. For brevity the full name is not always used in all places.
That view can be used to justify any type of corruption. You're paying a mayor to give you a permit? Proof you're a pillar of the local community. Paying the police not to investigate your sex trafficking? An important part of the local labor market.
Agreed... it is not ready to be prime time yet. UIKit is still unbeatable for more serious apps. At this pace it might take few more years of dev for SwiftUI to reach feature parity.
